Bai Qishan's words left Zhou Yu utterly surprised.

Indeed, he hadn't considered it before.

Now, hearing Bai Qishan's explanations, this matter truly seemed anything but simple.

Who exactly is this expert from the Bagua Gate?

Could it be the old man?

However, according to Xu Pingchang and Bai Qishan's descriptions, this expert's appearance has nothing to do with the old man.

This made Zhou Yu even more puzzled.

Who could it possibly be?

Was it accidental?

Or a deliberate plan?

If it's the former, so be it.

If it's the latter, then this matter is truly chilling.

Seeing Zhou Yu's continuously changing expression, Bai Qishan chuckled softly.

"Yu, don't overthink it."

"There are too many secrets in this world, some things are beyond our control."

"Maybe one day you'll have the chance to step out of the chessboard and become the one playing, but not yet."

"For now, just focus on what lies ahead."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded.

"Alright."

"And also, be good to my granddaughter," Bai Qishan suddenly added with a shift in tone.

Zhou Yu replied with a bitter smile:

"Okay."

Yet his mind involuntarily drifted back to the old man.

After so many years with him, Zhou Yu suddenly realized he'd never really seen through the old man's true identity or strength.

How much is this old fellow hiding?

Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of the Bai Family's estate.

As the car stopped, Bai Qishan and Zhou Yu got out directly.

The guards at the gate were first stunned upon seeing Bai Qishan, but then hostility appeared on their faces.

"Bai Qishan, you dare come back!"

"Inform the Family Head at once!"

Just then, Tong Qiang, standing behind Zhou Yu, let out a cold snort, and in a flash, the two guards saw only a shadow before losing consciousness.

Zhou Yu smiled faintly and said:

"Old Sir, Aunt Bai, please return home!"

As Bai Yuzhen looked at the familiar gates, her eyes revealed a complex mix of emotions.

She felt nostalgia, but also melancholy.

This was the place that had given her life and raised her, but since leaving twenty years ago, it was her first return.

Bai Qishan smiled slightly, leading Bai Yuzhen as they strode inside.

...

Meanwhile.

In a courtyard within the Bai Family estate.

A middle-aged man rushed into the courtyard.

As he entered, he saw an old man fishing by the lake.

Looking closely, the old man resembled Bai Qishan.

This person was Bai Qishan's own brother, Bai Qilin.

And the middle-aged man was Bai Qilin's son, the current Family Head of the Bai Family, Bai Yugang.

Bai Yugang rushed forward.

"Dad, something's happened."

"That old thing Bai Qishan is back!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qilin's hand paused, and then he slowly turned around, his face icy and terrifying.

"What did you say?"

"Bai Qishan?"

"Isn't he in Qin State?"

Bai Yugang's face was grim as he replied:

"I don't know when that old thing returned."

"Now, he's already broken into the house, and that Martial Pavilion Zhou Yu is with him!"

"It seems that young man is here to support Bai Qishan."

Upon hearing Zhou Yu's presence, Bai Qilin's face turned exceedingly somber.

"Zhou Yu, that brat, now surrounded by enemies, our Bai Family hasn't made a move, yet he dares to provoke us."

Bai Yugang also spoke with a cold anger:

"That brat is just too arrogant."

"But, it's said that his strength now rivals the King Realm."

"Do we alert the ancestors?"

Hearing this, Bai Qilin was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

"No need to alert the ancestors."

"The ancestors are unaware of the Bai Family's changes, and we haven't fully dealt with those left by Bai Qishan."

"If the ancestors get involved and support Bai Qishan, everything we've done will be in vain."

Bai Yugang's expression changed.

"Then what should we do?"

"Without involving the ancestors, it may be hard to deal with that brat!"

A sinister look flashed in Bai Qilin's eyes.

"Not necessarily."

"The world speaks of that brat's martial strength rivaling the King Realm."

"But I have something, which even a King Realm Martial King can't withstand."

"I'll go out and see. If that brat doesn't know his place and insists on meddling in our Bai Family's affairs, I'll let him die quietly here today."

Hearing this, Bai Yugang's eyes widened in surprise.

"Dad, you plan to use that soul-killing talisman?"

Bai Qilin nodded.

Upon seeing this, Bai Yugang revealed a cold smile.

"If we use this treasure, that brat will surely die."

"It's just that we went to great lengths to acquire it, intended for top King Realm masters of other families. Using it on him seems a bit wasteful."

Bai Qilin shook his head and said:

"It's not a waste."

"The greatest enemy of the Bai Family isn't outsiders but Bai Qishan. If he dies, any price is worth it."

"If we let him live, you and I might end up dead."

Hearing this, Bai Yugang immediately understood.

A ruthless gleam filled his eyes.

"Dad, you're right."

"Let's do it then."

"Yes."

Bai Qilin stood up, his eyes flashing with a chilling light, and said.

"Let's go meet this audacious Martial Pavilion Minister!"
