Chapter 451 “Medicine Sect (2)”
Their last name is also Bai….
And she looks so similar to her….
Can it be….
Slowly closing his eyes, Bai Zhanpeng’s body was faintly shuddering as his heart kept giving rise to a single answer.
“Don’t let anyone know about this yet. I’m going to seek my father’s input first.” Suppressing that urge to run out this second, the man’s excited complexion couldn’t be anymore obvious.
“Yes milord.” The guard bends down, showing his compliance before turning away.
Alone again in this mildly quiet room, Bai Zhenpeng’s calm façade eventually crumbles. Throwing himself out the door like a rocket, the urgent man makes quick work of the distance between his room and the study where he would eventually find his father currently being smothered with the scent of dust and old age.
“Father!” His scream instantly causes the elder to jolt up in surprise and the stacks of books to collapse into a mess.
“Son, what’s the matter? Is it that the preparations for the convention is ready?”
Showing a glimmer of hope in his eyes: “Father, do you still remember the story I told you about before? Of how a young lady managed to save me and even cured me of my illness that’s been stubbornly plaguing my body over the years?”
“I do, but why?” Raising a brow at his son’s abnormally high expression, “Do you want me to send her an invitation as well? If so then there’s no need to ask me, you can take charge in my place.”
“No Father, that’s not why I’m coming to you, it’s for an entirely different matter.” Sucking in a deep breath, Bai Zhenpang could no longer hold back his excitement and blurts out everything, “There’s something I didn’t tell you. That girl, she looks nearly identical to Ning’er (sister) when she was younger.”
PAKK!
It’s as if a silent snapping sound just occurred in the study room.
Dropping the book from the palm of his hand, the elder slowly rises from his chair like a stumbling senior who couldn’t control his body. In fact, the trembles were so intense that even the tea set on the desk was being affected and started to shake.
“What did you say? The girl who saved you… looks very similar to your sister? Why have you never told me about this?!”
His daughter’s been missing for more than twenty years…. Whether she’s alive or not, this poor father doesn’t have a clue. So, imagine how much of a shock this sudden windfall must be for him.

“It’s because I’ve been investigating her background since I met her. At first the information came back as a negative. They say she’s the biological daughter of a certain Bai House in that kingdom….”
Making a bittersweet smile, Bai Zhanpeng wanted to slap himself for being so foolish.
How can someone so sweet and gentle be the daughter of a scumbag like that? I should’ve known better.
“Then why are you telling me this? Are you planning something?” Clenching his shaking hand until it’s making a crunching sound, the father fixes his gaze at his son like an eagle being renewed with life.
Looking straight back: “I became worried after I left that kingdom, that’s why I had someone tail her during this period in order to protect her. Guess what Father, I just got word of something really important!”
Just thinking back to what the guard told him just minutes ago, Bai Zhanpeng’s mood would instantly be thrilled with joy.
“Turns out the young girl I met isn’t the daughter of that scumbag who leads that household, rather she’s an adopted daughter of the late wife handed over by another woman whose surname also happens to be ‘Bai’ like ours! Based on this, I speculate she might be Ning’er’s….”
Biological daughter.
Though the middle-aged man didn’t say the last bit aloud, but he could see he didn’t need to, his father already knew what he meant.
Clehh.
The sound was the direct result of the senior crashing back down to his chair and knocking the teacup from the desk. For this, the warm liquid had soaked into the various books that’s considered invaluable to the outside world due to the knowledge written inside.
“Ninger’s daughter? Is she really my granddaughter? HAHA! I finally have a third-generation to my line! Wonderful, truly wonderful!”
