Chapter 247

When Ye Shi returned to the restaurant, he saw Bai Chenxing sitting by the window with a dull look in his eyes.

Ye Shi hesitated for a moment, looked at Bai Chenxing nervously, and said, "Sorry, Senior Sister, she didn't know, so she spoke without restraint..."

Bai Chenxing forced a smile and said, "It's okay, I understand, that girl is very cute."

Bai Chenxing lowered his eyes, feeling a little sad. What was Ye Shi worried about? Was he worried that he might harm the girl? Ye Shi had never called him "Dad" and had never trusted him wholeheartedly. Was he really that scary?

Only when Muchen is mentioned will Ye Shi become more friendly towards her. Usually, Ye Shi will be involuntarily reserved in front of her.

If he hadn't been forced to do so, if it hadn't been for Muchen, perhaps Ye Shi wouldn't have wanted to bother with him at all.

Bai Chenxing clenched his fists. All of this was caused by himself and he couldn't blame anyone else.

"I know where grandpa is. Let's go find him first." Ye Shi suggested.

Bai Chenxing's eyes flashed with something strange, and he nodded and said, "Okay."

Ye Shi looked at Bai Chenxing and couldn't help but wonder: When he meets his grandfather, how should he introduce Bai Chenxing's identity to him? Should he just tell his grandfather that this is his father?

Ye Shi gritted his teeth and decided to take one step at a time.

"Shi Tou, why are you back?" Before Ye Shi could go find Qu Kun, Qu Kun had already come to him.

"I missed Mu Chen, so I came back. Grandpa, do you know where Mu Chen is?" Ye Shi asked impatiently.

Qu Kun frowned and said, "Mu Chen, he... this is not the place to talk. Let's talk somewhere else."

Ye Shi nodded and said, "Okay."

Seeing Bai Chenxing catching up, Qu Kun turned to Ye Shi and asked, "Who is this person?"

"He..." Ye Shi frowned. He had been thinking about how to introduce Bai Chenxing, but before he could think it through, Qu Kun had already asked.

Bai Chenxing hesitated for a moment. He was also thinking about the same thing Ye Shi was thinking about. Back then, when he and Qu Xinyang met, Qu Kun had never shown up. But now...

Bai Chenxing pondered for a long time, and said awkwardly: "Junior, Bai Chenxing..."

Qu Kun's expression suddenly turned cold. "Your last name is Bai?"

Bai Chenxing nodded and said awkwardly, "Yes."

"I am not worthy of being your senior. I should be the one calling you senior. How can my strength compare to yours!" Qu Kun sneered.

Bai Chenxing's face suddenly showed a hint of embarrassment, "Father-in-law, you are too kind."

"Why are you here?" Qu Kun asked coldly.

Bai Chenxing lowered his head, speechless and embarrassed, "I... came to see Xinyang."

"What are you doing here now? What were you doing before?" Qu Kun clenched his fists, his eyes filled with deep hatred.

Ye Shi pulled Qu Kun aside and briefly explained the misunderstanding that happened that year.

Qu Kun sneered and said, "You said that he was deceived by Ye Xun, so he hasn't shown up for more than ten years and has been hiding in Zhongzhou."

Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes!"

Qu Kun glanced at Bai Chenxing coldly and said, "A Ye Xun could actually deceive him for so many years. How could your mother and father fall in love with such a person?"

Ye Shi: “…”

Qu Kun gave Bai Chenxing a critical look and said, "This guy didn't pass on anything to you, so he passed on his stupidity to you."

"I'm not that stupid." Ye Shi muttered with his head down. Ye Shi thought to himself: In fact, his Spiritual Pattern Eyes and Formation Talents should also have been passed down from Bai Chenxing.

Qu Kun: “…” If Ye Shi was not in this state, he would have been eaten alive long ago if it weren’t for Mu Chen.

Ye Shi looked at Bai Chenxing's gloomy expression and suddenly felt that Bai Chenxing was a little pitiful. Although Bai Chenxing was wrong about what happened back then, it couldn't be blamed entirely on him.

"Grandpa, the father and son of the Ye family are very good at lying! Weren't you also deceived by them back then?" Ye Shi muttered.

Qu Kun's face darkened. That's right. If he hadn't misjudged Ye He, perhaps there wouldn't have been any misunderstanding between Bai Chenxing and Xin Yang. "That's right. To be honest, I'm sorry for you."

"Father-in-law, you are too kind." Bai Chenxing said hurriedly.

"Grandpa, how is Mu Chen?" Ye Shi asked, changing the subject.

Qu Kun frowned, "Mu Chen is missing."

"Gone? What does that mean? Was he teleported away? But I didn't find any trace of him in Central China!" Ye Shi said in confusion.

"Mu Chen's teleportation is different from yours. You teleported through the formation tower. He tried all five towers but still couldn't teleport. I asked him about it, and Mu Chen said that the five towers either lacked essence stones or had problems with the teleportation formation. They couldn't teleport at all. However, some time ago, Mu Chen suddenly said that he had found a way to teleport."

"And then?" Ye Shi clenched his fists.

"Then he studied each tower one by one. Three days ago, the five towers suddenly glowed, and the people in the towers were teleported out. After that, the five towers disappeared, and Mu Chen also disappeared." Qu Kun said.

"Ah! How could this happen? Where did Mu Chen go?" Ye Shi said with a frown.

Qu Kun shook his head and said helplessly: "I don't know."

Ye Shi's face tightened, and he asked anxiously, "How could this happen?"

Bai Chenxing frowned, looked at Ye Shi, and said, "Don't worry. I think Mu Chen is missing. He must have gone to Zhongzhou. Besides, he might have obtained a great opportunity."

Ye Shi's eyes widened, and he asked in confusion: "Great opportunity?"

Bai Chenxing nodded and said, "Legend has it that the Five Towers of Zhongzhou are actually a divine artifact that was split into five parts. Its creator might have been a divine magician."

"In ancient times, the vital energy was rich and there were countless geniuses, far from what we have today. At that time, the divisions between alchemy, talismans, formations, inscriptions, and refining were not so clear. Many ancient cultivators were proficient in all five techniques."

"Rumor has it that those with sufficient opportunity can inherit the Five Towers and obtain the mantle of the divine magician. Millions of years have passed, and countless cultivators have attempted to subdue the spiritual towers in Central Continent. However, no matter how strong they were, they all failed. Many of those who failed were injured by the spiritual towers and could not make any progress. Now, not many people are willing to overestimate their own abilities and try to subdue the Five Towers."

Ye Shi opened his eyes wide and asked, "Then, does Muchen have a chance of inheriting the mantle of that divine magician?"

Bai Chenxing shook his head and said, "I don't know, but when I return, I will seal off the passage between Zhongzhou and here. I can't let the news that Muchen has obtained the five spirit towers leak out. Otherwise, Muchen will be in great danger..."

Ye Shi's eyes immediately flashed with panic. "I've been telling people that Muchen knows everything. Did I cause him trouble?"

Bai Chenxing shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter." Anyway, no one believed Ye Shi's words.

I heard that He Xian was considered a lunatic by the tower masters of several towers because he asked Dan Tower and other towers for news about Muchen several times. He followed in He Xian's footsteps and was probably talked about behind his back a lot.

However, if the news of the disappearance of the Five Spirit Towers in Lingta Continent is leaked, someone might suspect Muchen. As long as the connection between this continent and Central Continent is cut off, the secret that Muchen might have obtained the Five Spirit Towers can be temporarily kept secret.

Bai Chenxing hesitated for a moment, raised his head, looked at Qu Kun, and said nervously: "Father-in-law, I want to go see Xinyang..."

Qu Kun looked at Bai Chenxing and sighed softly, saying, "You two, follow me."

Upon hearing this, Ye Shi and Bai Chenxing followed Qu Kun.

"Grandpa, did we take the wrong path? This road shouldn't be the one to where my mother and father's graves are," Ye Shi muttered.

Qu Kun turned his head to look at Ye Shi and said calmly, "The tomb you have been worshipping is actually a fake tomb to deceive people. The tomb of the spirit people cannot be treated so casually. Besides, Chen Da said that Ye Xun has always wanted to break into your mother and father's mausoleum to see if he has hidden anything valuable."

When Ye Xun was mentioned, Ye Shi's face suddenly tensed up, "This scumbag."

Bai Chenxing appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was bleeding with hatred.

Ye Shi followed Qu Kun into a forest.

"The place where the Nine Dragons are reincarnated?" Bai Chenxing said in surprise. This is a rare blessed land!

Qu Kun shook his head, sighed softly, and said, "It's not a dragon at all! It's just a python at most. The place where the Nine Dragons turn into dragons is not that easy to find."

Qu Kun took Ye Shi and Bai Chenxing across the waterfall and into a cave. Qu Kun cast a series of spells on the stone wall of the cave, and the stone door automatically cracked open.

The stone chamber is inlaid with ninety-nine luminous pearls, and a crystal coffin is placed in the middle of the cave.

As soon as he entered the stone chamber, Bai Chenxing's eyes suddenly narrowed, "Father-in-law, Xinyang is still alive, he is not dead!"

"Ah! Mother and father are still alive?" Ye Shi looked at Qu Kun in surprise.

Qu Kun put his hands behind his back and sighed softly?

"Judging from the condition of your mother and father, I'm afraid they have been punished by God. Although they are still alive, there is little hope for them to wake up..." Qu Kun said dejectedly.

Ye Shi said anxiously, "Grandpa, can mom and dad still be saved? Grandpa, mom and dad can still be saved, why didn't you tell me?"

Qu Kun frowned and said, "I won't tell you because even if your mother and father can be saved, it's the same as not being able to be saved."

"How to save him?" Bai Chenxing looked at Qu Kun.

"I only heard that the eighth-level advanced Soul-Returning Pill can save him." Qu Kun glanced at Bai Chenxing and sighed lightly.

Bai Chenxing narrowed his eyes. Only an eighth-level senior alchemist could refine the eighth-grade top-grade elixir. At the Dan Tower, there were two intermediate-level alchemists and one eighth-level senior alchemist. The eighth-level senior alchemist had not been in charge for many years.

"Looking for the alchemist in Danta, the alchemist needs to provide the spiritual herbs and the recipe. Father-in-law, do you have the recipe for the Return to Soul Pill?" Bai Chenxing asked.

Qu Kun shook his head and said, "No." The spirit blood in him was weak and he could not come into contact with the high-level spirits.

Ye Shi lowered his head and said, "What should we do then?"

"The chance is too slim, so I didn't tell you. There's not even a level seven alchemist here, let alone a level eight pill. Even if we defeat an level eight alchemist, or even ask him to help, the pill formula and spiritual herbs will still be a problem." Qu Kun shook his head.

Ye Shi said without hesitation: "Find Mu Chen, Mu Chen will have a way."

Qu Kun frowned. Mu Chen was indeed talented, but Qu Xinyang didn't have much time left.

Bai Chenxing looked at the person in the coffin, with deep worry in his eyes. Qu Xinyang's breath was very weak. Although the terrain of this place was special and could temporarily preserve Qu Xinyang's life, it would not last long. Qu Kun probably knew this, but did not tell Ye Shi.

"Father-in-law, I want to bring Xinyang back to the Bai family." Bai Chenxing looked at Qu Kun and said.

Qu Xinyang will stay here for three years at most. If he brings Qu Xinyang back to the Bai family, he should be able to keep Qu Xinyang's spirit altar intact for six years.

Qu Kun looked at Bai Chenxing, hesitated for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Can I trust you?"

"I swear on my life that I will do my best to awaken Xin Yang." Bai Chenxing said solemnly.

Qu Kun sighed softly and said, "In that case, take him away."

Qu Kun closed his eyes. He had no ability. If Qu Xinyang stayed here, he would only wait for death.
