Chapter 369 Murong Zhan

"It's alright, it's alright. Young Master must be tired from his journey. Zi'er, please go and rest. You will take care of him these days!" Murong Zhan said directly.

"Yes, sir," Zi'er said respectfully.

"Please, young master!" So Zi'er led Bai Ke down to rest.

After Bai Ke left, the old servant surnamed Sun said, "Master, why did you fawn over this man so much? What if he harbors ill intentions..."

"Hehe, no, I can tell from his extraordinary demeanor that he's not an ordinary person. Besides, do you think he has any internal energy?" Murong Zhan said.

"This is really strange. This person seems to be quite skilled, but I haven't sensed any cultivation level from him. I thought it was just that my cultivation level wasn't high enough. Could it be that you, sir, can't sense it either?" said the old servant surnamed Sun.

“Although I am already at the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm, I cannot sense any internal energy cultivation in this person. He must have extraordinary cultivation and must be some kind of reclusive master or a descendant of a powerful family,” Murong Zhan said.

The old servant surnamed Sun nodded in surprise.

"You said before that the bandit leader said he was acting on someone's orders before he died?" Murong Zhan asked.

"Yes, but he was killed by that young master Bai before he could finish speaking," said the old servant surnamed Sun.

“Qingqing’s route this time was extremely secretive. Unless it was someone from the Murong family, no one could possibly know about it!” Murong Zhan said slowly.

"Master, you mean Second Master!" the old servant surnamed Sun suddenly whispered.

"Hmph! He must be eager to inherit my position in the family now that I'm in poor health. My second brother is getting more and more outrageous!" Murong Zhan said angrily.

“Then, sir, shouldn’t we…” the old servant surnamed Sun said, gesturing.

"There's no need to alert him. I don't know what his trump cards are yet. It's best not to act rashly and to remain calm and wait for the right moment. Besides, I'm injured!" Murong Zhan said.

"You should go down and recover from your injuries too. I see your injuries haven't fully healed yet."

"Yes!" The old servant respectfully withdrew.

Over the past two days, Murong Qingqing has been taking Bai Ke sightseeing around the capital. The capital is incredibly prosperous, quite different from the scenery of the Mountain and Sea Realm. Bai Ke is thoroughly enjoying himself.

"Miss Qingqing, I see you look worried. Is there something troubling you? I wonder if I can help you in any way?" Bai Ke asked casually, sipping his tea.

"I'm so sorry to have disturbed your enjoyment, young master. I'm just worried about my father's health and I don't know what to do," Murong Qingqing said with a concerned expression.

During his conversations with Murong Qingqing these past few days, Bai Ke learned some information: Murong Zhan only had two children in his life. His wife died early, his eldest daughter Murong Qingqing is just eighteen years old, and his son Murong Yaozu is only ten years old.

The Murong family has a complex web of relationships and power dynamics, especially with Murong Wu, the second younger brother of the family head Murong Zhan, wielding considerable influence within the family. As Murong Zhan's health deteriorates, he also gradually expands his power.

"Hehe, I see that the Murong family head has profound cultivation. Perhaps it's not that he's in poor health, but rather that he's been poisoned," Bai Ke said calmly.

"What! Poisoning! But my father already invited a famous doctor from the capital to see me. It wasn't poisoning. He said it was caused by my cultivation advancing too rapidly and my foundation becoming unstable!" Murong Qingqing said anxiously.

"Hehe, I don't know why. Perhaps the doctor couldn't understand it, or perhaps... someone else... Haha, let's not talk about that. Just keep it in mind, Miss Qingqing," Bai Ke said with amusement.

Murong Qingqing thought for a moment and then suddenly knelt down before Bai Ke and said, "Young Master Bai, I know you must have a way. Please, please save my father! I will repay you even if I have to be your slave or servant."

Bai Ke quickly helped Murong Qingqing up and said, "Fine, considering you've taken me out to play for so many days, you can take this as my reward."

Bai Ke handed Murong Qingqing a jade bottle and said, "Have your father take this. No matter what kind of poison it is, it will be cured within moments."

"Thank you, young master!" Murong Qingqing was about to kneel down to thank Bai Ke again, but Bai Ke quickly stopped her.

Murong Qingqing quickly grabbed the jade bottle and happily rushed back home.

After hearing about this in his room, Murong Zhan immediately closed the door.

“Master, you must be careful, what if this is something else…” said the old servant surnamed Sun.

"Not necessarily. With such high cultivation, why would that Young Master Bai want to harm me? I doubt even my second brother could afford to hire someone like him. Anyway, if I don't submit, given my injuries, I probably won't live more than a few months!"

"What? Father, didn't you say you had at least a few more years left?!" Murong Qingqing said anxiously.

"Oh, Miss, that's what Master said because he was afraid you'd worry, and even more so because he was worried that someone might have ulterior motives," said the old servant surnamed Sun.

"What! Father!" Murong Qingqing cried out to Murong Zhan.

"Hehe, silly child, if I really die, you should quickly take your brothers and leave the Murong family, understand? I will send someone to take you to a safe place," Murong Zhan said as if giving his last instructions.

"Father!" Murong Qingqing cried uncontrollably.

"Master! Don't worry, I will definitely protect Miss and Young Master!" the servant surnamed Sun said, his voice choked with emotion.

Murong Zhan nodded and resolutely picked up the pill from the jade bottle and swallowed it.

Suddenly, Murong Zhan coughed up a mouthful of black blood!

"Daddy!"

"master!"

A moment later, Murong Zhan suddenly shone brightly and sat down cross-legged.

"This is!" Neither the old servant surnamed Sun nor Murong Qingqing knew whether it was good or bad.

An hour later, Murong Zhan suddenly opened his eyes, and his aura suddenly increased greatly!

"Hahaha, a magic pill! It really is a magic pill! I never expected that it would not only restore my body, but also allow me to break through! That young man must really be an immortal!" Murong Zhan said with great pride.

"Father, that's great, you're alright!" Murong Qingqing said excitedly.

"Master! That's wonderful! Congratulations, Master!" said the old servant surnamed Sun.

"Qingqing, quickly take me to pay my respects to that Young Master Bai. I want to express my gratitude to him in person!" Murong Zhan hurriedly said to Murong Qingqing.

“Alright, Father, I also want to go and thank Young Master Bai,” Murong Qingqing said.

So Murong Qingqing led Murong Zhan to Bai Ke's residence, where Bai Ke had already returned and was leisurely drinking.

Suddenly, they heard Murong Qingqing requesting an audience outside the door.

"Miss has arrived," Zi'er said, as she had been attending to Bai Ke.

"Let her in," Bai Ke said.

As soon as the door opened, Murong Qingqing, Murong Zhan, and the old servant surnamed Sun were seen standing respectfully outside the door.

Before Bai Ke could speak, he saw Murong Zhan and the other two walk in, kneel down before Bai Ke, and say, "Thank you for saving our lives, young master."
