Bai Feng was happy to play the role of a caring older brother, patting his younger brother's head and saying, "Third brother is great. You've learned how to make money so quickly. From now on, your older brother will have to rely on you to support me."

Bai Qi pouted: "My Bai family is large and wealthy, how could my elder brother possibly rely on me to support him?"

"When you grow up a bit more, and the Bai family is handed over to you, won't your eldest brother ask you to support him?"

"Big brother, stop joking. It's really not funny at all. I don't want the Bai family. You should just focus on inheriting the Bai family and making it great."

"By the way, how is Dad doing?"

"After Father regained consciousness and learned what had happened, he personally killed Madam Wei, crippled Bai Chang, and sent him to a wealthy family to live out the rest of his life in peace."

"Father is truly merciful. If it were me, I would definitely keep him alive and torture him properly."

"After all, he was someone Father truly loved, and Father must have been in great pain." No one knew Bai Zheng's personality better than Bai Feng.

Passionate and indecisive, if it weren't for the fact that Grandpa only had Father as his son, the Bai family wouldn't have fallen into Father's hands.

In the years since the Bai family fell into my father's hands, although it is still the number one family in Mo City, many families and forces have set their sights on the Bai family, especially the Tong family.

They actually plotted to poison the father, hoping to create internal strife within the Bai family so they could seize the opportunity to take over the family.

That's wishful thinking. The Bai family has been passed down for thousands of years. Do you think it's so easy to destroy? Even if the patriarch dies, or even if the elders die, as long as the Bai family's ancestor and a few elders at the Tribulation Transcending stage are alive, the Bai family will still be the Bai family.

"Then what?"

"Although the Heavenly Star curse on Father has been lifted, his cultivation level has regressed. He is currently in seclusion and cultivating. I believe he will emerge from seclusion soon."

"Okay, brother, take care of yourself. I'll head back now."

"This is your home, where do you want to go back to?" Bai Feng teased.

"Go back and wait for a feast! Now I'm the boss, I can eat whatever I want, however I want!" Life couldn't be better.

"I think you've gained weight."

"Really? How could that be?" Bai Qi touched his face and waist, but they were exactly the same as before.

"Alright, you can stay at home for the next couple of days. I've almost taken care of the Tong family's troubles."

"Fine, I'll just have my servants pack it up and bring it back for me."

"You really are something else; once you have something to eat, you forget everything else."

"Delicious food always brings joy. Don't you like to eat, brother?"

"Cultivation is the most important thing."

"Cultivation maniac."

Bai Qi pouted and went back to his room.

Five days after Bai Qi returned home, Bai Zheng emerged from seclusion. Although the detoxification had cost him a considerable amount of his essence and blood, the Bai family possessed countless rare and precious herbs, and coupled with his second cultivation session, his progress was naturally very fast. In such a short time, Bai Zheng had already recovered to his original level.

Bai Zheng woke up, which was a major event for the Bai family. Bai Feng and Bai Qi went to Bai Zheng's room immediately to visit their father.

"Eldest brother, third brother."

Having survived this ordeal, some of the softness in Bai Zheng's eyes faded, and he seemed to have become more composed.

"Father, are you really alright? Should I ask Master Ye to take another look at you?"

"Master Ye Dan is the benefactor who cured me of the poison."

"That's right, but don't be surprised if you meet her."

"Is he eccentric and difficult to get along with? It doesn't matter. My life was saved by Master Ye, so I should thank him properly."

"How about this: I'll book the entire Zuixianlou restaurant tomorrow, and then we can all meet there?"

"Drunken Immortal Pavilion, is there such a restaurant in Mo City?"

"Yes, the owner of Zuixianju is none other than the Night Alchemist who saved you. She is also a spirit wine master and spirit chef. The dishes and wines at Zuixianju are truly unforgettable."

"Is that so, boss?"

"That's right, there's one more thing I haven't said yet, Third Brother. Third Brother is also the owner of Drunken Immortal Pavilion, and he's earned quite a bit of spirit crystals this month."

Now, Bai Zheng's gaze towards Bai Qi changed. What was going on? Had his youngest son changed his ways? His youngest son, who had always only known how to eat, drink, and have fun, spending spirit crystals like water, was actually earning spirit crystals. This was truly unbelievable.

"Father, actually, it was my third brother who invited Master Ye back. My third brother is currently living with Master Ye and the others, and I guess he's been influenced by Master Ye to some extent."

"Is that really the case?"

"I dare not deceive my father."

Bai Zheng became even more curious about Ye Xiruo. It was quite rare to hear his two sons speak so highly of this mysterious alchemist.

"Have you thanked them properly?"

"Please rest assured, Father. After learning that you had successfully detoxified and were no longer in danger, we thanked Master Ye and the other two alchemists properly."

"Alright, let's do as the third brother says. I want to personally thank Master Ye Dan tomorrow, as he saved my life. Someone, go and bring out the three spiritual herbs from my storeroom as a token of my gratitude tomorrow."

Goodness, that's a 12th-grade, perfectly preserved spiritual herb! Father really went all out this time. But once it's in the hands of Alchemist Ye, it will naturally be able to play a much greater role.

"Yes, Father, I'll take care of it right away."

Bai Feng went to fetch the elixir, leaving Bai Zheng and Bai Qi alone in the room.

"Dad, you really scared me this time." Bai Qi was still young, and his eyes were already red.

"Having survived such a calamity, I am sure to have good fortune in the future. I will never let anyone scheme against me again."

"I hope Father will keep his word. Master Ye, and her two senior brothers are all alchemists at Youranju. They are all young, but they are all geniuses and very hardworking. They often make me feel ashamed of myself."

"Now we know there are always people more capable than ourselves! We're stuck in this remote place, Mo City, we can't let our horizons shrink. According to what you're saying, they probably won't stay in Mo City for very long."

How did you know?

"Geniuses always need a wider sky. Mo City is still too small for true geniuses."

"I understand, Father. You traveled around when you were young, didn't you? I will definitely cultivate diligently. I also want to go to farther places and see more people and things."

"The third child has become much more sensible."

"I have always lived under your and my elder brother's wings. This cannot continue. There are no cowards in the Bai family, and I will never bring shame to the Bai family."

"I'm relieved to see you have this thought in mind."

The third brother has really changed a lot; it seems that this illness wasn't entirely without its benefits.
