Seeing that Bai Chenxuan was about to leave, Bai Yu immediately stopped him, "Stand still!"
"Dad, is there anything else?" Bai Chenxuan asked coldly.
"You! What's with your attitude? You misunderstood your mother just now, so why aren't you apologizing to her! " Bai Yu said snappily to Bai Chenxuan.
Bai Chenxuan turned around coldly, and glanced at Zhao Yanran.
"I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize to her!"
When Bai Yu heard Bai Chenxuan's words, he was instantly infuriated.
"You! This was really going against the heavens! Relying on your power to turn the tide and solve the Azure Province's food crisis, you can speak to me like this without any restraint! " Bai Yu looked at Bai Chenxuan and said with a disappointed expression.
"Dad, right and wrong, you have your own judgment. Don't tell me that you're going to make a decision against me just by looking at her!" Bai Chenxuan raised his head, and said to Bai Yu with an imposing manner.
"Young master, don't say anymore." Seeing Bai Chenxuan and Bai Yu being so hostile, the little girl advised on the side.
"Chun Ruo, let's go!" After Bai Chenxuan finished this sentence, he turned and left.
Seeing Bai Chenxuan's leaving figure, Chun Ruo immediately bowed to Bai Yu, and followed.
"This unfilial son!" Bai Yu stared at Bai Chenxuan's leaving figure, his entire body trembling in anger.
"Old master, don't be angry. If you get angry, your body will be in trouble." Seeing this, Zhao Yanran immediately grabbed onto Bai Yu, pretended to be weak and gently caressed Bai Yu's chest.
"Sigh!" This stinking brat, why is his temper so bad! " Bai Yu said angrily.
"Eldest Young Master, Eldest Young Master, slow down!" Chun Ruo chased after Bai Chenxuan.
After Bai Chenxuan heard Chun Ruo's order, he stopped in his tracks.
"Chun Ruo, where are Miss Tao Le and the rest?"
Chun Ruo jogged in front of Bai Chenxuan, looking completely out of breath.
"This... Chun Ruo doesn't know... " All along the way, she had always been by Bai Chenxuan's side, not moving an inch away from him.
"Forget it, you can go back first. I'll go to the East District to take a look."
Hearing Bai Chenxuan's words, Chun Ruo immediately stopped him.
"Eldest Young Master, you can't go to the East District now!"
Hearing Chun Ruo's words, Bai Chenxuan could not help but reveal a puzzled expression.
Then, Chun Ruo actually went closer to Bai Chenxuan and whispered in her ears: "Big Young Noble, the Old Master has already sent people to monitor our movements. If you go, you will definitely alarm those people who are monitoring us."
After hearing Chun Ruo's report, a trace of anger involuntarily surfaced on Bai Chenxuan's face.
"How preposterous! "Why would Father do this for a fox-like girl?!" Thinking about it, Bai Chenxuan became extremely angry.
"Eldest Young Master, let's return to the courtyard first!" Chun Ruo advised from the side.
Bai Chenxuan heard the meaning behind Chun Ruo's words, and smiled: "Alright, let's go!"
Soon after, they returned to the courtyard, and Bai Chenxuan immediately walked into the house.
"Chun Ruo, I was angered silly by the fox like woman! "I can't believe I forgot, there's a secret passage leading to the East District!"
"Eldest Young Master, you can go in first. I'll watch for you!" Chun Ruo said to Bai Chenxuan with a smile on her face.
After Bai Chenxuan heard this, his face could not help but reveal a grateful expression, "Good Chun Ruo, thank you!"
After Bai Chenxuan finished speaking, he turned and entered the house.
On the left side of his room was what seemed like a library.
He walked along the rows of bookshelves, then stopped in the middle of the third row.
Bai Chenxuan muttered to himself as he tapped his fingers on the bookshelf.
Suddenly, an "Clang Dang" sound was heard, after that, Bai Chenxuan's face revealed a happy expression.
Then, he pointed with his finger and the book unexpectedly caved in.
Suddenly, the wall against the side of his bed split open in the middle, and a path appeared before his eyes.
"That's right, just like that!" Bai Chenxuan muttered.
This tunnel was dug out by the ancestors in order to escape. Most people didn't even know where it was.
Even he, the young master of the Bai Clan, had accidentally found this place.
This was probably the person who had been looking for him for thousands of miles. When he suddenly looked back, he was in a place with no lights at all.
Then, Bai Chenxuan quickly walked into the tunnel.
After a while, he saw a glimmer of light in the distance.
When he got outside again, he found himself in the East Courtyard.
Bai Chenxuan then stepped into the courtyard.
"Master Bai, why are you here?"
Tao Le was in the courtyard, when she suddenly saw Bai Chenxuan's figure, and her face revealed an expression of shock.
"I came to take a look, did you have a pleasant life here?" Bai Chenxuan said to Tao Le with a smile.
Then, Tao Le welcomed Bai Chenxuan into the house.
When Wu Lin saw Bai Chenxuan, his expression became hostile.
"Now, I have sent people outside to investigate and found out that the people from the Yue Family are chasing after you all."
Bai Chenxuan quietly said as he sat down.
Hearing Bai Chenxuan's words, Lin Yuan's face became serious.
"They won't let this go until they find me!"
"Are they all here for you? Could it be ? Tao Le is just a pretense, what is their real motive?! " Wu Lin coldly asked.
"It's a family heirloom treasure!" Lin Yuan smiled bitterly, and said with a look of ridicule.
Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Bai Chenxuan's eyes was filled with astonishment.
"It's actually because of this, when did Yue Family become so overbearing!"
Lin Yuan laughed coldly, "Hehe, their Yue Family has always been like this!" Lin Yuan said as he grinded his teeth.
"Tao Le, do you know Zhao Yanran?" Bai Chenxuan asked Tao Le.
"Yanran? She is from the brothel, I naturally know about it! "
"Currently, Zhao Yanran has already been welcomed into the Palace by my father Bai Yu. If my guess is not wrong, she should be one of Yue Junqian's people!"
Tao Le became suspicious, "You said that Zhao Yanran is now an aunt in Bai?s Mansion?"
Bai Chenxuan looked at her doubtful expression and nodded.
"You guys had better be careful. If she's really Yue Junqian's person and divulges your whereabouts, then even I will find it hard to protect you guys."
One had to know, in the Golden Snow City, only he was a Cultivation Clan.
Furthermore, their Bai Family was merely a merchant family, how could they have the strength to contend against the Yue Family? The reason why the Yue Family was afraid of the Bai Family, was only because of the Bai Family's financial support.
Hearing Bai Chenxuan's words, Zi Yuan and Tao Le looked at each other in dismay.
"Young master, we'll be careful." Tao Le said to Bai Chenxuan.
"If there is nothing else, do not leave the East Branch."
After Bai Chenxuan chatted with Tao Le and the others for a while, he hurried back from the corridor.
"Eldest Young Master, you're finally back."
When Chun Ruo saw Bai Chenxuan, she could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
"Chun Ruo, did something happen?" Bai Chenxuan saw that she had a face full of worry and asked curiously.
"Young Master, just now ? Aunt Zhao came to find you and even gave you a gift. "
Hearing Chun Ruo's words, Bai Chenxuan could not help but frown.
"What is she doing here!" It looks like it was indeed as he expected, Zhao Yanran had deliberately come to investigate him.
"First Young Master, this is a gift from Aunt Zhao."
Chun Ruo said as she pointed to the few bright red peaches on the table.
After seeing the peach, Bai Chenxuan seemed to have understood something.
"This woman is really something!" Bai Chenxuan gritted his teeth and said with cold eyes.
"First Young Master, Chun Ruo doesn't understand why you want to keep them. If the people from the Yue Family find out, it would be a huge problem!"
Hearing Chun Ruo's words, Bai Chenxuan could not help but sigh.
"I have promised Miss Tao Le. Now that she has come to find me, I naturally have to keep my promise!"
Hearing Bai Chenxuan's words, Chun Ruo's eyes lit up.
"Eldest Young Master, you are really kind! It's just that today, the Aunt Zhao has already suspected us, so they will definitely take action! "
"Sigh!" "We can only blame Father for being too muddleheaded, to actually be bewitched by that seductive fox!" Thinking about it, Bai Chenxuan could not help but feel angry.
"Chun Ruo, send this peach back to Aunt Zhao. After that, tell Aunt Zhao that I must trouble her not to come to the other courtyard again in the future. Bai Chenxuan said snappily.
"First Young Master, Aunt Zhao likes to cause trouble the most, it is better if we don't provoke her, so that she does not complain in front of the Old Master. If you don't want to eat these peaches, then Chun Ruo will throw them away! "
Hearing Chun Ruo's words, Bai Chenxuan waved his hands, and said: "I will do as you say."
Then, Chun Ruo carried the peach off the table.
When Chun Ruo walked out of the courtyard, a servant hurriedly came in from the outside.
"A Zhong, what are you panicking for!" Chun Ruo asked with suspicion.
"Miss Chun Ruo, Young Master Feng Lin of Yue Family is here. He specifically came to pay his respects to Eldest Young Master."
Chun Ruo heard A Zhong say that, and then said: "Go ahead, I will go report to First Young Master. "Oh right, these are newly plucked peaches. You can take them to eat!"
A Zhong looked at the bright red peach in Chun Ruo's hand, and felt a little overwhelmed by the favor.
"This... Miss Chun Ruo, how can I accept this loss of face ? "
Chun Ruo didn't care about A Zhong's resistance anymore, and placed the peach into A Zhong's hands, "Go and eat it!"
After that, Chun Ruo entered the courtyard and reported the situation to Bai Chenxuan.
When Bai Chenxuan heard that Yue Fenglin wanted to see him, a strange look flashed past his eyes.
"This Yue Fenglin, I wonder what her heart is at peace with! Chun Ruo, let's go take a look! "
As Bai Chenxuan spoke, he led Chun Ruo out of the courtyard.
Yue Fenglin passed through nine winding corridors, left the courtyard and arrived at the main hall. Under the hospitality of the servants, Yue Fenglin was drinking tea in the main hall.
Seeing Bai Chenxuan's figure, Yue Fenglin immediately stood up from her seat, her face full of smiles.
"Eldest Young Master, it's been a long time!" Yue Fenglin said with a smile.
