Chapter 156
If the Baili clan chief kills him or throws him out, the Baili family's reputation in the cultivation world will be ruined.
Wen Xin was stunned, never expecting that the boy's background was so difficult.
No wonder he looks so indifferent to joy and sorrow at such a young age.
It's not that I don't know pain and suffering, it's just that I've gotten used to it.
Wen Xin bit her lip, feeling very sorry for him. "How could the patriarch of one of the five great immortal cultivation families be so despicable?"
He's such a heartless and ungrateful scumbag!
They ruined Baili Han and his mother's lives!
How many of those who constantly claim to be righteous immortals or members of prestigious sects are truly good people?
They're nothing but a bunch of greedy demons in human skin, chasing fame and fortune!
Moreover, Baili Han tugged at his thin lips, the smile not reaching his eyes, "In the eyes of cultivators, mortals are nothing but ants."
In the eyes of the Baili clan chief, he had taken a liking to Baili Han's mother and even spent a night with her. As a mortal, she should be extremely grateful!
Wen Xin pouted, "Weren't cultivators once mortals too?"
Baili Han turned his gaze and stared intently at her.
Wen Xin tilted her head, the tassels on her phoenix hairpin touching her fair and delicate cheek. "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Baili Han shook his head, "Not everyone can have the magnanimity of my junior master's wife."
Once cultivators embark on the path to immortality, they consider themselves superior and would never look up to mortals again.
Take Duan Tianyi for example. He was a prince of noble blood in the mortal world, but after arriving in the cultivation world, he was afraid of people finding out that he came from the mortal world.
His origins in the mortal realm seem to have become a stain on his reputation.
How ridiculous!
Wen Xin slowly said, "In the cultivation world, everyone pursues the Great Dao, constantly vying and fighting, never having a peaceful day. Cold-blooded selfishness is ingrained in the bones of every cultivator. In contrast, mortals, because of their limited lifespan, cherish every moment and the people around them more. They are flesh and blood, and are warmer and more sincere."
A ripple appeared in Baili Han's eyes, "My little master's wife really doesn't seem like a cultivator."
Wen Xin smiled and said, "I've been bedridden for most of the year and have very little time for cultivation, so I don't really seem like a cultivator."
Baili Han: "That's not what I meant."
Wen Xin: "Hmm?"
Baili Han simply stared at her without saying a word.
Her eyes were pure, and her soul was warm, unlike him and most other cold-hearted cultivators.
Wen Xin asked him, "Do you still want to go back to the Baili family in the future?"
Baili Han said calmly, "I should go back again."
Back then, he kept searching for Chief Baili, not because he had much affection or expectation for his biological father, but because his mother was thinking about it before she died, wanting to know why he could be so heartless.
After all, she was his birth mother who gave him his life and took care of him for several years. Baili Han should repay her kindness.
Although the answer to this question is now known... he asked it when he went to the Baili family. Ironically, the Baili clan chief had initially forgotten who his mother was.
When he goes there again, Baili Han will seek justice for his mother and personally cripple the Baili clan chief!
Doesn't he look down on ordinary people and wantonly trample on their feelings?
Then Baili Han would let him become a mortal and experience what it's like.
Wen Xin was unaware of the ruthlessness hidden in the heart of the icy young man before her. "If it's convenient for me then, I'll go with you."
To prevent my little apprentice from being bullied again!
Upon understanding the girl's feelings, Baili Han paused slightly, and a hint of warmth gradually appeared in his deep eyes.
“Oh, right,” Wen Xin took out a storage bag and handed it to him, “a little gift for meeting you.”
She was a little embarrassed. "I didn't prepare anything beforehand, so my gift to you is a bit meager. I'll make it up to you later."
As Baili Han scanned the contents of the storage bag with his divine sense, he almost lost his balance and dropped the bag to the ground.
A pile of top-grade elixirs, a pile of top-grade talismans, a pile of high-level array plates, a pile of heaven-grade spiritual artifacts, oh, and a King-level protective armor...
Is this what you call frail?
Baili Han stared at her silently. Did she really know the meaning of those two words?
He took a deep breath and pushed the storage bag back, "Little Master's wife, it's too valuable, I can't take it."
A hint of confusion crossed Wen Xin's almond-shaped eyes. "Valuable?"
The innocent girl, unaware of the hardships of life, said softly, "But my great-grandfather gave me so many of these things in the Sumeru Space, and I can never use them all."
Baili Han: "..."
Fortunately, he possessed the inheritance of the Demon God and had seen all sorts of grand scenes. Otherwise, if it were someone else, their Dao heart would be unstable at this moment, and they would be so greedy that they would kill and rob without regard for anything!
His expression turned cold. "Little Master's Wife, you possess a priceless treasure. How can you casually tell others about it?"
Wen Xin blinked, looking completely innocent. "I didn't tell anyone!"
Baili Han: "..." He's not human?
The girl laughed sweetly and lively, "My little apprentice is none other than..."
Baili Han: "..."
He raised his hand to rub his temples. "We've only known each other for less than a day."
Wen Xin said trustingly, "But I think my little apprentice must be a good person."
Baili Han remained expressionless: He isn't!
Could she be any more naive and innocent?
However, the girl was completely oblivious, and said with a simple and innocent smile, "I know people are wicked, my great-grandfather taught me that I usually don't tell other people that I have many, many treasures!"
Baili Han replied with a cold expression: Oh, really?
I don't know who casually took out a semi-divine artifact in public before.
Baili Han took a deep breath. "Little Master's Wife, tell me, who else have you told about your Sumeru Space?"
Wen Xin counted on her fingers, "You, Grandpa Lin, Aunt Mo, Sister Xia..."
Baili Han's thin lips twitched.
Should he think, thankfully, everyone except him is from Peach Blossom Peak?
However, Baili Han was a little surprised, "Junior Mistress didn't tell...Master?"
The young man Baili scoffed at Duan Tianyi's so-called master, but after looking at the girl in front of him, he temporarily held back.
It remains to be seen whether Duan Tianyi will be able to live up to the role of "master" in the future.
Mentioning Duan Tianyi seems to instantly deflate the bright and pretty young girl.
She clutched the tab on her skirt in disappointment, "Although my senior brother and I are nominally Daoist partners, I am sickly and spend most of my time recuperating on Peach Blossom Peak, rarely venturing out. He has to cultivate and is busy with sect affairs, so we don't have much time together, and..."
Wen Xin's voice was tinged with sadness, "Actually, I can tell that my senior brother doesn't like me very much, but I can understand it. My path to immortality is full of hardships, and it's unknown how long I will live, while he is a chosen one of heaven, admired by the world. It's understandable that he doesn't like a sickly Daoist partner like me."
"What kind of chosen one is he?"
The boy spoke coldly.
"What?"
Wen Xin didn't hear what he said.
Baili Han clenched his fists, the veins on the back of his hands bulging. He closed his eyes, suppressing the anger and resentment that suddenly surged within him.
