The situation at Zuixianlou has completely stabilized, and Ye Xiruo, Zishu, and Yingxun have been in seclusion at Youranju for cultivation.

Chi Yi and the others gradually freed themselves from the Drunken Immortal Pavilion and devoted themselves to cultivation. Fulan Residence was a place they frequented, where they would stay for one or two months at a time for secluded cultivation.

The fees charged by the Fran Bureau are not very high, but the cultivation space they provide and the concentration of spiritual energy within it are worth the price.

In addition, the secrecy of Fulan Residence is very good. As long as you are a guest of Fulan Residence, it is absolutely impossible for others to find out which cultivation room you are cultivating in and take the opportunity to do something to you.

In addition, since Bai Qi turned Zuixianlou into a place for the Bai family to collect intelligence, he has achieved unexpected results in a short period of time. It is really hard to imagine that there is so much intelligence that can be analyzed from the gossip information that the diners and drinkers unintentionally revealed.

The people sent by the Bai family are all professionals. They can accurately find valuable information from thousands of pieces of information, and then gather all the clues together to make a discovery.

Then, all the discovered intelligence information was compiled, and the important information was sent back to the Bai residence for Bai Feng to make a decision.

With the Bai family's resources, if they follow these clues, they will surely gain something, perhaps even a great deal.

Bai Zheng, now that he has recovered, even has the leisure to go to the Tong family to show off and provoke them.

Combined with the intelligence obtained from Zuixianlou, Bai Feng secretly destroyed many of the Tong family's hidden forces.

The Tong family was naturally seething with hatred. How could Bai Zheng, a man destined to die, have survived? Ah! Who on earth was it? How could such a talent have fallen into the hands of the Bai family? It's outrageous! It's utterly unreasonable!

The honey trap failed once, so is Bai Zheng really that foolish to try it again? Of course not.

The Bai residence is probably now so small that not even a fly could get in.

It's impossible for the Tong family to do anything secretly. If you say it's impossible to do it secretly, then do it openly. What's so great about the Bai family? Let's just confront them head-on and destroy the Bai family.

This is a joke. If they could just wipe out the Bai family, would they need to resort to poisoning?

It was precisely because they couldn't defeat the Bai family that they tried to resort to underhanded tactics. Now it seems they've failed, their plans are ruined, and they've even been ridiculed by that old geezer Bai Zheng.

The Tong family's influence, both overt and covert, has been significantly weakened recently. They tolerated the overt harm because the Bai family was in the wrong, but how did they know about the covert influence?

How could those hidden agents be destroyed so easily?

The Tong family was deeply aggrieved and desperately wanted revenge, but they were unaware of the Bai family's hidden agents. The Bai family's open power was their face; would they dare to slap them in the face?

Bai Zheng was more than happy for them to make a move, so he could take the opportunity to severely damage the Tong family. Therefore, they could only swallow this bitter pill.

Unlike the Tong family's frustration and resentment, the Bai family was overjoyed. Bai Zheng, who had just escaped death, was secretly sharpening his knife, determined to wipe out the Tong family without hesitation.

Bai Feng, that vengeful devil, has now become the most troublesome person in the Bai family. As for Bai Qi, who has always been a playboy, he hides in his Drunken Immortal Pavilion every day, seemingly living a life of debauchery, as if he has been exiled by the Bai family.

I don't expect you to succeed, nor do I expect you to inherit the family business. Just stay at Zuixianlou and be happy. But in reality? Bai Qi's days at Zuixianlou were getting increasingly difficult.

Originally, I ate three meals a day, enjoyed delicious food and drinks, and had all sorts of top-quality spirit wine. Such a life was simply like that of an immortal.

As a result, among the people Bai Feng sent, in addition to gathering intelligence and information, he also sent two Nascent Soul cultivators to specifically keep an eye on Bai Qi's cultivation. If Bai Qi wanted to slack off, well, the combat power of these two Nascent Soul cultivators was not just for show.

Now, Bai Qi can't even afford three meals a day, let alone a decent meal. He might not even get a good meal every three days. As for spirit wine, it's even worse; he can only drink it once every two weeks, and even then, he can't enjoy it to his heart's content. His life is incredibly miserable.

He had considered protesting, but could a Nascent Soul cultivator like him possibly defeat two Nascent Soul cultivators? What a joke! A single Nascent Soul cultivator could suppress all his resistance with a single finger.

Will threats work? These two were personally trained by Bai Feng; they're like rocks in a latrine—stinky and stubborn—and they completely disregard Bai Qi's threats.

And what about bribery? That's even less effective.

Bai Qi was practically going crazy. Less than a month later, he ran back to Bai Feng to complain. He said those two were absolutely despicable and strongly suggested that they be fired so he could replace them.

Bai Feng only said two words: "No way." He also gave Bai Qi a good beating, making him feel incredibly miserable.

Bai Qi was thinking of ways to escape almost every day, but alas, the devil is always one step ahead, and Bai Feng's skills were far beyond his reach.

Chi Yi and his group would sometimes come to the restaurant to check if there was anything amiss. Bai Feng personally told Chi Yi and his group his purpose, asking them to help keep an eye on Bai Qi, and ideally, to take Bai Qi to the Bai family's training grounds for training or sparring.

The Bai family's training grounds were naturally far superior to Fulan Residence. Bai Qi, with his childish mindset, was determined to win decisively, only to discover that he couldn't defeat Chi Yi, whose cultivation level was suppressed at the Nascent Soul stage, and he couldn't even defeat any of Chi Yi's brothers. This setback really spurred Bai Qi on.

Without Bai Feng's specific instructions, everyone started cultivating diligently. Every day, they were either reading in the library, cultivating in the training room, or sparring with Chi Yi and the others.

Chi Yi and the others didn't have any objections. Although they had been used, Bai Feng had acted out of kindness. Besides, after they left, Bai Qi would be in charge of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, and the higher Bai Qi's strength was, the better it would be for them. In addition, Bai Feng, Bai Zheng, and the elders of the Bai family would also guide their cultivation, so they would benefit greatly.

In addition, Bai Qi's bloodline talent is not weak. He was too lazy to cultivate before and never put too much effort into it. Now that he has realized this, he is determined to cultivate properly, and his power is increasing rapidly.

In just three months, he had already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and his foundation was very solid. He could now go into seclusion to attempt to break through to the Divine Transformation stage. Bai Feng had been extremely worried about this. The Nascent Soul stage was a hurdle, and so was the Divine Transformation stage. If one couldn't overcome it, not only would one die, but one's cultivation would definitely regress, becoming a bottleneck. If one wanted to continue attempting to break through to the Divine Transformation stage next time, it would be even more difficult.
