Bai Rongâs body suddenly trembled. Beiting Huang held him in her arms and patted him gently to comfort the child. Then, she said, âAn ant can barely survive, let alone a human. I think he hasnât eaten for a long time, right?â
A teardrop landed on the back of Beiting Huangâs hand. The manâs gaze followed the tears on the childâs face, almost blinded by them. He turned his head slightly and asked Beiting Huang, âWho are you? What do you want to say?â
âIâm Beiting Huang, the third direct descendant of the Beiting Family, who used to be one of the four great Spirit Master families!â Beiting Huangâs eyes were like torches as she stared at the manâs face. Every word she said was sonorous. She did not miss the expression on the manâs face at all. When she said this, she emphasized the words âused to beâ.
âUsed to be?â The man suddenly raised his head again. His movements were too exaggerated, causing him to cough violently again, but he suppressed it. âWhat do you mean? What happened to the four great families?â
Beiting Huang sighed and placed the Divine Realm medicinal pill in the manâs hand. âI donât like to deal with someone who canât speak properly. After you eat the medicinal pill, come out and weâll talk!â
With that, Beiting Huang led Bai Rong out of the door and stood in the living room.
âBig Brother, will Dad eat the Divine Realm medicinal pill? Will this medicinal pill cure Dadâs illness?â Bai Rong asked as he looked inside nervously.
âYes!â Beiting Huang squatted down, almost as tall as the child. âBai Rongâ¦â
âHis name isnât Bai Rong!â A voice came from inside, and right on the heels of that, a manâs figure appeared at the door. He held onto the wall. His eyes glowed with a new color like a dying sapling after obtaining the nectar it had been longing for for a long time. He glowed with vitality. âHis name is Ximen Rong!â
âWood begets water. How should I address you, Brother Ximen?â Beiting Huang stared at the manâs eyes that resembled Ximen Songâs and asked. She didnât expect to see someone from the Ximen family in such a place. This man would rather die of illness and poverty here than return to the Ximen family. Why?
âIâm too ashamed to go back!â Ximen Bai seemed to have seen through Beiting Huangâs doubts. âIâm Ximen Songâs twin brother. I really didnât expect to meet Brother Beiting Huang here!â
This seniority was a little messy. Ximen Song called Beiting Huang a big brother, and Ximen Bai called Beiting Huang a brother. However, this was just a small matter, and no one cared.
âBrother Beiting Huang, if you can help me to the end, can you help me bring my son back to the Four Races City?â Ximen Bai took a deep breath and looked up at the sky above Huang City. âTen years ago, I left home to pick herbs and met his mother on the Starmoon Plains. Later on, something happened. Iâve already become a piece of trash and donât have the face to return to the four Spirit Master families!â
âBrother Ximen Bai, the four Spirit Master families have already merged into one. If Brother Ximen Bai insists on not going back, Iâll bring my younger brother back. Thereâs no problem with that. Itâs just thatâ¦â Beiting Huangâs voice was filled with grief and indignation, and there was a hint of desolation. âBrother Ximen Bai, just yesterday, the Four Races City was destroyed, and countless disciples were killed or injured. The city was razed to the ground. If you can still turn a blind eye, I have nothing to say!â
âWhat did you say? Who did it? Who did it?â Ximen Bai rushed forward and grabbed Beiting Huang. He kept shaking her and seemed to have lost his mind. âWho is it? I must tear that bastard into pieces!â
