Chapter 541 - Bai Chang Feng’s Birthday (6)

Chapter 541 “Bai Chang Feng’s Birthday (6)”
Ever since Bai Yan’s return to her ancestral roots that day, the group that’s the happiest had to be the elder council of the Medicine Sect. In fact, these old geezers have been ignoring their daily tasks for the past couple of days and would hound around the woman to ask her questions about alchemy.
One or two days wasn’t a big deal, but after some extended duration Bai Chang Feng has had it. Giving the order, he declares that none was to disturb his granddaughter out of petty jealousy. He intends to monopolize the girl’s time so they could bond together and catch up on the missed time they lost.
However, rather than just bonding with her genuine grandfather, Bai Yan was more interested in her mother’s story during these past few days….
According to the information she got from everyone, Bai Ning was an outstanding and talented young woman whom disappeared over twenty years ago. Since then, the missing person never returned and left no clue as to her whereabouts. If not for Bai Chang Feng insisting that his daughter’s still alive, the other members of the Medicine Sect would’ve likely set up a tombstone for her by now.
But enough of this, that’s not the main concern here today, it’s the person that’s sneaking back and forth outside of the courtyard to Bai Yan’s room.
“Ceo Wang, what are you doing here?” The yellow robed elder Tian Xuan had only intended to walk past the place when he noticed the odd sight.
“I…” Ceo Wang’s face blushed red from being caught and didn’t know how to answer his peer’s questioning.
“Are you looking for the Lady?” Tian Xuan’s brow tightened hard at the idea, “Didn’t the Lord declare no one is to come bother her?”
Now that Bai Ning’s no longer around, there could only be one “Lady” and that was Bai Yan.
Making a deflated face: “I don’t want to disturb her either, I just want to apologize for the mistake I made before.”
“Hoho,” Tian Xuan scoffs a sarcastic laugh, “So not being a dog of Ye Ying now eh?”
Ceo Wang’s body naturally stiffened at the remark. In fact, his shame was so bad that he could literally dig his own head into the dirt and stay there.
“If you had known it was wrong then why did you do it?” Sighing at his companion’s remorseful face, the yellow robed elder shakes his head. “Its best you leave now. If the Lord finds out you are stalking the Lady’s residence then you might not even be able to keep your head at this rate.”
But just as the elder was ready to leave and move on with his business as intended, Tian Xuan suddenly remembered something else. Stopping again: “Also, the punishment for the things you did during the alchemy convention is already decided. The Punitive Hall will soon hand the judgement into your hands so I suggest you be good and stay out of trouble during this period. Be glad that your life is intact.” That said, Tian Xuan then swiftly walked away without looking back.
In this moment, Ceo Wang simply couldn’t hold back his remorse anymore and firmly grasped onto his chest in agony.
Regret…
He truly regrets it!
If he had known Bai Yan was Bai Ning’s daughter then he never would’ve followed Ye Ying.
But time doesn’t turn back and one couldn’t undo their regrets.
For better or for worse, Ceo Wang would have to bear his own mistakes and live with it. Whether he learns from this folly was another matter and another story for a different time.
