Chapter 88: Young Master Xie’s Grace of Innocence (3rd Update)

Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Young Master Xie’s Grace of Innocence (3rd Update)Bai Wentian struggled to his feet, clutching his face which had swollen like a pig’s head, and walked in from outside the courtyard. "Big brother, why did you hit me?" Bai Wentian’s voice was close to tears. What exactly did he do wrong? Was it just because he said something? Did he deserve to be humiliated this way in front of others? Bai Yan couldn’t stand Bai Wentian anymore, and with a swift movement, pulled Bai Wentian over and kicked him on the leg. "Thud!" Bai Wentian immediately kneeled down. Then, Bai Wentian witnessed an unbelievable scene. Bai Yan deeply bowed and said, "Young Master Ling, I’m sorry. It was my unruly brother who offended you. Please punish him!" "Big brother, what are you doing?" Bai Wentian’s face was filled with disbelief. This guy in front of him was the chief instigator behind the potential downfall of your Bai Gang, how could you apologize to him? "Shut your damn mouth!" Bai Yan said through gritted teeth. His cousin was really clueless, he himself was already in this state, yet why couldn’t he improve? Hearing his big brother’s rebuke, Bai Wentian finally realized. This Ling Chen, seems to be someone even his big brother can’t afford to offend! Thinking of this, Bai Wentian’s cold sweat instantly poured down, his head knocked on the ground, not daring to get up, trembling all over. Oh my god, what kind of person have I offended? Bai Wentian wished he could slap himself to death. Only then did he understand why his big brother had slapped him! Chen Yunong and the two others heard the noise outside and came out. When they saw a purple-robed youth bowing to Ling Chen, and another person kneeling on the ground not daring to get up, their legs softened, almost falling over. Purple robes, that’s an inner palace disciple! An inner palace disciple bowing to Ling Chen? What exactly is Ling Chen’s background? Is he that guy who was sent away by Elder Bai? "Senior Bai, you’re too kind." Ling Chen quickly stood up, bowed slightly to Bai Yan in return. He was well aware of why Bai Yan was showing him such respect, and it wasn’t because of him, but because the Deputy Palace Master had urgently summoned him previously! Hearing this, Bai Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Junior Ling, I present my cousin Bai Wentian to you again, for you to deal with as you see fit." Saying this, he kicked Bai Wentian in the buttocks. "Please punish me, Young Master Ling!" Bai Wentian immediately understood his big brother’s intent, quickly stood up, and kneeled to Ling Chen once more! "Bai Wentian?" Chen Yunong and the others were utterly baffled. It seemed like their grievance was resolved? How come, Bai Wentian is still coming to apologize? Ling Chen looked at Bai Wentian and smiled, "Bai Wentian, do you feel aggrieved?" "I dare not!" Bai Wentian bowed again. At this moment, he understood that even his big brother dared not show disrespect to Ling Chen, where would he find the courage to defy Ling Chen? "If you feel aggrieved, we can have another match!" Ling Chen said with a smile. He actually hoped to have another bout with Bai Wentian, it would be good practice! "I am fully convinced!" Bai Wentian hurriedly replied. "Young Master Ling, my cousin attacked you? Are you alright?" Bai Yan quickly asked, his face filled with concern. Although his cousin was good for nothing, he was also quite powerful. With Ling Chen’s power, he might not be able to match him. If Ling Chen was hurt, things wouldn’t be so simple anymore! "It’s fine." Ling Chen nodded. "Phew!" Bai Yan let out a breath, kicking Bai Wentian several meters away, smashing him against the courtyard wall with a loud "bang": "Daring to make a move on Young Master Ling, are you seeking death? Luckily, Young Master Ling is unharmed, otherwise, I would definitely take your life!" This guy Ling Chen was summoned by the Deputy Palace Master; if the Deputy Palace Master summons him again and sees his injuries, he will surely investigate the truth, which would inevitably involve the Bai Family. Although the Bai Family is one of the six prestigious families in Zhenwu Prefecture, they are not enough in front of the Deputy Palace Master! seaʀᴄh thё novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Bai Wentian dared not argue, knowing his cousin was looking out for him, and that kick didn’t carry much force. "Pfft!" He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Bai Wentian, regardless of his injury, got up and knelt on the ground, not daring to utter another word. He was not injured; the blood was forced out intentionally. "Alright, Senior Bai. I believe that Gang Leader Bai didn’t do it on purpose, perhaps it was all just a misunderstanding." Ling Chen said with a smile. How could he not see that the two were putting on an act for him! Anyway, Bai Yan had been rather good to him too, there was no need to press people too hard. "Have you not thanked Young Master Ling yet?" Bai Yan scolded. "Thank you, Young Master Xie, for your mercy." Upon hearing this, Bai Wentian immediately started kowtowing, "bang bang bang". "Alright, Gang Leader Bai, please get up. Since you are injured, you should go back and rest." Ling Chen said with a smile. "Yes." Bai Wentian gave Ling Chen a bow and then left the courtyard. "Senior Bai, please have a seat!" Ling Chen pointed to a stone bench nearby and said with a smile. "Okay!" Bai Yan sat down accordingly: "Young Master Ling, are you settling in alright in the outer palace?" "I’m used to it." Ling Chen smiled slightly. "That’s good. If you have time, feel free to visit me at my residence in the inner palace." Bai Yan invited. "Sure, I will definitely visit when I have time!" Ling Chen said with a smile. The two chatted a bit more, and after Bai Yan expressed his apologies again, he took his leave. He did not return to the inner palace but went to Bai Wentian’s residence instead. "What? His cultivation has at least reached the early stage of the sixth level of the Spirit Sea Realm?" Bai Yan jumped up in shock. "Yes, cousin!" Bai Wentian said with a bitter smile: "Not to mention his superior attack and Body Technique Xuanling Technique, he also has a Defensive Profound Spirit Technique! Moreover, although his Spiritual Power is not as refined as mine, his power is just as formidable!" Thinking back to the time he sparred with Ling Chen made him feel extremely frustrated. Bai Yan was silent for a while and then said, "Wentian, do you know? Just twelve days ago, he was still at the late second level of the Spirit Sea Realm! Moreover, he has no innate cultivation talent. It’s said he has been advancing in the Spirit Sea Realm solely by consuming Elixirs!" "Such frequent consumption of Elixirs in just a few days, even a Spiritual Body might not withstand it, right? His cultivation speed is this fast?" Bai Wentian’s mouth twitched. "That’s unclear. Anyway, Elder Bai originally planned to have him sent back to his hometown, but for some reason, the Deputy Palace Master suddenly commanded us to look for him overnight." Bai Yan said. "He’s not the Deputy Palace Master’s illegitimate son, is he?" Bai Wentian said, "Otherwise, why would the Deputy Palace Master know about Ling Chen?" "Do not speak recklessly!" Bai Yan quickly said. "By the way, you need to think for yourself in the future. This kid is so young, yet so strong, and you still trouble him; do you want to drag our Bai Family into this?" Bai Yan twisted Bai Wentian’s ear. "Brother, I understand." Bai Wentian quickly admitted his fault. "Alright, this matter must not be mentioned to anyone. In the future, if anyone dares to trouble him, you must resolve it quickly, understand? Such a person, having connections with the Deputy Palace Master, must not be offended!" Bai Yan instructed. "Cousin, don’t worry, I’ll be careful." Bai Wentian hurriedly replied.
