Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Father And Son Talk

After making his father finish the medicine that his sister gave to his father, Bai Tingfeng sat on the chair beside the bed.

Bai Xiang glanced at his son. It seemed his son had something to talk to him.

"What is it?" Bai Xiang asked Bai Tingfeng before Bai Tingfeng opened his mouth.

"Father, I have meant to ask you about what happened six months ago." Bai Tingfeng started.

Since Bai Xiang woke up, he had been accompanied by Bai Xifeng. So, Bai Tingfeng did not have a chance to ask Bai Xiang about the matter. Now, Bai Xifeng was not here. He could ask Bai Xiang about that openly.

Bai Xiang knew that Bai Tingfeng would ask about the matter. He had been keeping a secret from his children.

"Father, you need to tell me about that. I am not a kid anymore. I can help you shoulder this burden." Bai Tingfeng said to his father.

Bai Xiang looked at Bai Tingfeng. Indeed, his son, her son had grown up.

"Is it because of Mother?" Bai Tingfeng asked again.

Bai Xiang quickly turned to Bai Tingfeng.

"How do you know about that?" Bai Xiang was looking shocked.

"Eight months ago, you left the military camp. Then you came back after two months. One week later, you went into a coma." Bai Tingfeng stated the time. Then he continued. "You must get some clues about where Mother is. Because of that clue, you left the military camp for me to take care of. Only Mother can make you leave the job like that."

Bai Xiang was silent hearing Bai Tingfeng’s deduction.

"You got poisoned by that parasite at that time, right?" Bai Tingfeng said.

After a moment of silence, Bai Xiang nodded. "Yes. I had been caught unguarded. However, I thought I lost my cultivation power because of the poison at that moment. I had been beaten up and could not fight back. Then, I felt my cultivation power returned as well. So, I thought it was just a one-time poison that made me lose my cultivation power. Who knows it would be parasites that could endanger my life?" He sighed.

"Father, is Mother still alive?" Bai Tingfeng asked.

"I don’t know about that. But since I don’t see her dead body, I will believe that she is still alive somewhere." Bai Xiang answered.

That was right. He did not believe that his beloved wife had died. He would be going to find his wife until he found her.

"So, you mean someone outside there does not want us to find Mother?" Bai Tingfeng asked.

"Hmm..." Bai Xiang nodded.

"I see." Bai Tingfeng clenched his fist. He took a deep breath to calm down. "Well, let’s talk about Xixi."

"Hmm..." Bai Xiang nodded. He also had something to say about his daughter.

"Father, what are you planning to do with Bai Family?" Bai Tingfeng flashed cold in his eyes when he mentioned the Bai Family.

Bai Xiang’s anger rose. Indeed, that Bai Family... They dared to torture his daughter like that.

He thought his daughter would be fine because they would take good care of her daughter. Who knew that they would be the ones who would make his daughter suffer for almost 12 years?

Old Madam Bai always wrote a reply letter to him stating that Bai Xifeng grew up finely. And he believed her words blindly.

He believed Old Madam Bai would not discriminate against his daughter just because she was not her blood-related granddaughter. But Old Madam Bai only cared about her blood-related grandchildren only. He did not know how Bai Xifeng felt living in this household.

And he also did not forget the royal family. The emperor and crown prince dared to make a fool of his daughter. They dared to break up the engagement and set up his daughter to be with the fool prince.

He would make them all repaid for what they did to her daughter.

"Don’t worry. When the time arrived, we will make sure they paid for everything that they had done to Xixi." Bai Xiang made a promise.

"Hmm... Father, about Xixi’s cultivation..." Bai Tingfeng wanted to know about that.

"About she could not cultivate?" Bai Xiang asked.

"Yes." Bai Tingfeng nodded.

"It is probably that the Bai Family make up to make their daughter stand up." Bai Xiang said.

"I see." Bai Tingfeng nodded.

He did hear about the rumour that Bai Chunhua was a strong cultivator at her age.

Seeing Bai Tingfeng believed in his words, Bai Xiang was relieved. There was another thing that he did not tell Bai Tingfeng about Bai Xifeng.

Bai Xiang actually knew that his daughter could not cultivate. It was because his wife sealed their daughter’s cultivation path.

His wife, Ji Suyin could predict that their daughter would have a terrible future ahead if she cultivated at a young age.

Someone would try to kidnap her because of her outstanding talent. Ji Suyin did not want their daughter to suffer that terrible future. So, she sealed Bai Xifeng’s cultivation path.

They thought they would protect her like that. They thought it would be fine that Bai Xifeng could not cultivate as long as the Bai Family protected her.

But everyone was not going as they planned. The ones that they thought would protect their daughter was the one who made their daughter suffer.

Bai Xiang did not know how Bai Xifeng could start cultivating now. He planned to ask her about that later.

"Father, I think we need to go offensive." Bai Tingfeng stated.

"You mean you want to attack another country first?" Bai Xiang asked.

"Hmm... They are the ones who always provoke us. I think we need to show to them that we also can provoke them." Bai Tingfeng said.

"It is a good idea. But, we did not have the power to make it. If we just attack one of them, the other two would make their move too." Bai Xiang said.

Bai Tingfeng understood that.

"We need to increase our strength as well as our soldiers." Bai Tingfeng said.

"Yeah... It is not an easy task. To increase our soldiers’s strength, we need pills that could increase their cultivation. And we need a lot. There is no way that an alchemist would come to work with us and to make such a large amount of pills." Bai Xiang said.

"That’s right. They would rather go to the sect or large family that could benefit them more." Bai Tingfeng sighed.

"We need to wait for an opportunity. It would come to us later." Bai Xiang patted his son’s shoulder.

....

Bai Xifeng was checking her subordinates’ progress on cultivation. They seemed to have a lot of progress in their cultivation. Bai Xifeng was very pleased to see that.

Xiao Li was asking Bai Xifeng a lot of questions about Bai Xifeng. She also asked about Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng.

"He recognized you right away? Even though you are wearing male clothes?" Xiao Li asked.

"Hmm..." Bai Xifeng nodded.

"That’s great." Xiao Li was happy about that.

"Do they ask you about why you suddenly appeared at the military camp?" Hu Meifeng asked.

"They probably shocked to see you there." Yu Xiaoqing stated.

"Well, I told them everything that happened to me in Capital City. They were very angry about that." Bai Xifeng said.

"If not because of their responsibility, they might rush to the Capital City to ask justice for me." She added.

"So, we are going to the military camp tomorrow?" Hu Meifeng asked.

"Yes..." Bai Xifeng put the food into her mouth.

"Is it okay for a citizen like me to enter the military camp?" Hu Meifeng asked.

"Yes. My father has been given my subordinate a special pass to enter the military camp. However, you need to follow my orders while inside the military camp. Don’t wander around, especially women like you." Bai Xifeng said while looking at her female subordinates.

"Master, are you forgetting that you are also a woman?" Hu Meifeng asked.

Bai Xifeng grinned. "Well, no one knows in the military camp that I am woman except three men, my father, brother and a pharmacist that I have been worked with."

"Someone knows that you are a woman? Is it okay for him to know that? How does he found about?" Yu Xiaoqing asked.

Everyone seemed eager to know about that.
