Xia Baishu didn't know the true cultivation level of Gu Yao. After all, the strongest person in Xiyao City was at the peak of Earthly Immortal, which was similar to the situation in Donglin City he had visited before. Of course, in his opinion, his master and several uncles were more powerful than the cultivators in the city. There was nothing they didn't understand, and they understood it more deeply. Ignoring
the narration, he arranged the place for Xu Chen to cross the tribulation first. They had looked for it when they went out to play before, and now they just went there directly. Tao Xiheng took Xia Baishu to stay behind. The difference in strength was huge, and this kind of heavenly tribulation would not be good for Xia Baishu. Xia
Baishu didn't make a fuss, knowing that there must be a reason for not letting him go. After the uncles left, he learned the truth from his master.
"Immortal Lord Tribulation? Are all the uncles immortals? And master too?" Xia Baishu's eyes widened in shock, and his tone of voice changed.
He was expressing his disbelief and shock, but the next sentence made Tao Xiheng's face darken, and he said: "The reason why they are your uncles is because your master's cultivation is not as good as theirs, do you know?"
"But your master will soon, and it won't be long before he can also pass the Immortal Lord Tribulation." Tao Xiheng tried to save the situation.
Xia Baishu narrowed his eyes and smiled in his heart, but he could not show it. He said in a shocked tone: "Master is so awesome. Those cultivators in the city actually said that Master is only a terrestrial immortal, and said that you are nothing special."
Tao Xiheng waved his hand magnanimously and said: "Don't bother with them. You just need to know that in the future you will be like Master, and reach heights that they can't reach."
These words made Xia Baishu yearn for it. He often heard his master and uncles talk about things outside, and knew that the outside world was very big. If it weren't for his low level of cultivation, he would have wanted to leave Xiyao City to go out for training.
The Immortal Lord Tribulation was so powerful that even though the location chosen by Gu Yao and his four companions was a little far from Xiyao City and they had set up layers of immortal formations and restrictions, the cultivators in Xiyao City could still feel the doomsday-like scene and the thunder tribulation that could destroy everything, and they were all shocked.
Who was going through the tribulation nearby and what kind of tribulation was it? This topic quickly rose to the top, crowding out other topics, especially the various forces and families in the city, who were more concerned and worried that such a strong man appearing near Xiyao City would have any impact on their status.
Only Tao Xiheng and Xia Baishu stayed at their residence leisurely, because Tao Xiheng gave Xia Baishu a reassurance pill, Xu Chen's tribulation could not fail, just wait and see, but someone came to discuss with them, if an unknown strong man came, maybe they could increase their strength by bringing the five monks here.
Tao Xiheng was not afraid to tell them the truth: "No need to ask, the one who is going through the tribulation now is Bo Ran's uncle Xu, and the other three uncles have gone to protect the law, you can go and do your own things." The monks who heard it with their
own ears simply couldn't believe their ears, but at this time they had been sent out by Tao Xiheng, pinched themselves hard, and felt the pain, then realized that everything just now was not an illusion, so, what kind of powerful monks are here?
The news spread quickly, and Tao Xiheng didn't care what kind of uproar it caused in Xiyao City, because he didn't want to bring Xia Baishu to live here for a long time. However, as a mortal immortal before, he was not suitable for walking in the starry sky for a long time, and he had to lay a solid foundation first.
At this moment, Xu Chen was undergoing a tribulation, and he knew that when Xu Chen's cultivation was consolidated, it would be time for them to leave, so the attitude of those people outside had no effect on them and Xia Baishu.
Some families and forces in Xiyao City regretted it. Since Xia Baishu came back to retreat, he had less contact with fellow monks of the same age. Tao Xiheng and others rarely showed up outside. Those families and forces could not gain any benefits,
so their relationship with this place faded. Now they know that the reason for less contact is that they are disdainful of dealing with these families and forces. At the same time, they also realized that if it were not for Xia Baishu, a young man who had just entered the practice, they would not stay in Xiyao City. The Yi family, who had
planned to make Xia Baishu their son-in-law, was afraid. Fortunately, there was no follow-up to the incident, otherwise, would Xia Baishu's master have spared them? But there was another hope. If Xia Baishu himself took a fancy to the Yi family girl, then Tao Mianheng could not stop him, wouldn't they have a chance to become in-laws of the level of immortals?
But the hope was just a daydream.
After the heavenly tribulation ended, Lexu brought Xu Chen back and went into seclusion again. Tao Xiheng naturally told Xia Baishu about his next plan. Xia Bairan accepted it well. He had longed for the outside world and did not have much nostalgia for Xiyao City.
It was also at this time that Gu Yao and Chi Changye learned from Tao Xiheng about Xia Baishu's previous return. Tao Xiheng did not show up, but stayed in the dark to avoid any accidents.
Just as Gu Yao and his friends had guessed, after Xia Baishu left, the alarmed royal family directly intervened to investigate the cause and effect. All the actions of the Chen family were exposed, and the royal family quickly sent troops to surround the main family and branches of the Chen family, strictly prohibiting them from contacting the outside world, and keeping them in a pen like pigs.
Because Tao Xiheng's words "Wait for Xia Baishu to come back and repay kindness and revenge" were not only heard by the people in the mansion, but also spread outside the mansion. When the royal family heard these words, they understood that the reason why Tao Xiheng did not deal with them at the time was to leave these people to Xia Baishu to deal with personally, so they kept them in a pen and did not ask about them again in these years.
Even Xia Boran's biological father's family was not dealt with by the royal family, but the biological father, who was once in power, became a marginal figure because of this incident, so they were put aside. If Xia Baishu attaches importance to it, he can continue to use the biological father when he returns. If Xia Boran does not like the biological father, then he can continue to put it aside.
"Guess what the man did?" Tao Xiheng said.
Gu Yao raised his eyebrows: "Although he is Xiao Baishu's biological father, what happened at the beginning is enough to show that this man is indecisive and soft-hearted. Xiao Baishu didn't grow up by his side, how much affection can he have? Far less than the mother and son next to him, right? He thinks that everything was done by the Chen family, and that the woman didn't say anything, so the child is innocent."
"Xiao Baishu is doomed to be disappointed if she expects a father-son relationship from him."
Tao Xiheng sighed and said angrily: "Yes, you can see through it. He just locked that woman in a side yard, and had other women and children around him. Because Xiao Baishu didn't show up, he began to relax, and at the persuasion of his son, he wanted to release the woman."
"It's good to do this, because it will allow Little Baishu to see more clearly what kind of person his biological father is, and he can make a thorough judgment.
"
When Xia Baishu flew over the mansion, the mother and son just came out of the side yard. When they were happily scolding Xia Baishu, the disaster star, they saw Xia Baishu looking coldly at them from above, and they were immediately shocked as if they had seen a ghost.
Even though they hadn't seen each other for more than 20 years, Xia Baishu looked very much like his biological mother. How could the daughter of the Chen family not recognize him? She screamed.
The appearance of Xia Baishu attracted people from the palace and the royal family, who all rushed over. The woman had already guessed Xia Baishu's identity, but his biological father looked at him like a stranger. After being reminded, he realized that he was the son who left that year. His expression became very complicated at that time, and he was no longer as vigorous as before. He looked a little fatter.
The royal family had many monks who were very respectful to Xia Baishu. The princes all wanted to get close to Xia Baishu. If they could get his support, they would be invincible in the struggle for imperial power. Whoever got his support would be the next emperor.
Seeing that the mother and son were alive and well, Xia Baishu was very disappointed with his father. When he saw other women and several new half-brothers and sisters, Xia Baishu felt very ironic. He ignored his father's obstruction and searched the woman's soul directly. He didn't need his father's explanation. He could get the answer himself. If she was innocent, he would spare her life.
Tao Xiheng was a man of character. He certainly would not raise his apprentice to be a white lotus. In addition, Xia Baishu remembered everything about his early years clearly, so how could he let it go easily? His biological mother's life was involved.
His biological father wanted to stop, but was stopped by the monks of the royal family, who let Xia Baishu do what he wanted.
How could that woman, an ordinary person, resist Xia Baishu's soul search? Without investigation, everything that happened back then was revealed. Knowing that this woman was behind his biological mother's death and that she was the one who ordered people to get him to the Chen family branch, Xia Baishu showed no mercy and killed her directly.
He said to the man: "Master is right, you are blind and confused, but don't worry, you are my biological father, I will not take action against you, but from now on, you can't get any benefit from me."
Several princes looked at the man with sympathy. He was left behind before, and now he was going to be exiled. He was alive, no one dared to kill him easily, but he would never have a good life.
But it was really hard to sympathize with him. He obviously held the best cards, but he was beaten to pieces by him. If he had a good relationship with this son, he might even have to give up the throne to him, but now he had to live in regret for the rest of his life, suffering torture every day.
Xia Baishu then left the mansion and went to another villa to rest at the invitation of the prince. There he learned about the situation of the Chen family in recent years. He was very satisfied with the royal family's understanding of current affairs. Compared with his biological father, he was much more clear-headed and wise. He also had royal blood in his body, so he didn't mind protecting the dynasty when it was in trouble in the future. As for the Chen family, they would be dealt with according to the laws of the dynasty.
He wanted to inquire about the situation of his biological mother, the Xia family, and the princes had prepared it early. The Xia family was an ordinary family and did not know about it, but they had lived a much better life in recent years. Maybe the Chen family did not take the Xia family seriously at the beginning and disdained to deal with them, otherwise the Xia family would not exist.
