Chapter 939: Chapter 936: Farewell_1
No one knew what Emperor Bai Wei was up to, and Bai Yudi and Bai Zang were just as puzzled. The two exchanged glances and laughed, “It seems that Bai Yunfei won, and he can’t wait to sing praises.”
Bai Zang shrugged, “It can’t be helped. I guess Bai Wei never thought Bai Yunfei could win. It’s perfectly normal for him to want to praise him right away!”
They didn’t think too deeply and wouldn’t consider the fact that Yang Chen was not actually from the Bai family.
They were all wrong. Emperor Bai Wei left with Yang Chen not to praise him.
In a blink of an eye, with Emperor Bai Wei’s speed, he led Yang Chen to an unknown location within the Bai family. It was very secluded and Bai Wei casually set up a complex prohibition, making it impossible for others to eavesdrop on their conversation.
“Emperor Senior,” Yang Chen said respectfully.
Bai Wei looked at Yang Chen kindly, his face full of satisfaction and approval, but it didn’t last long. He sighed deeply, full of regret, “Yang Chen, Yang Chen, how great would it be if you were truly a member of my Bai family and had our blood flowing through your veins? In that case, even if other forces wanted to kill you, or even if the royal family wanted to touch you, our Bai family would have the moral high ground to protect you. Alas, you don’t have the Bai surname, and the blood flowing through your veins is not from our Bai family. We can’t protect you!”
Yang Chen could see that Bai Wei meant to protect him, but unfortunately, this matter was too far-reaching, and it was already quite difficult for Bai Wei to do this much.
Bai Wei said, “Yang Chen, now that the Clan Gathering is over, our transaction is as well. As you said beforehand, I will completely conceal your information and not reveal it to anyone else. However, you need to leave the Bai family as soon as possible. I will arrange an external task for you as quickly as possible, and then, it’s all up to you.”
“Yes, Emperor Senior,” Yang Chen replied, taking a deep breath.
“Do you have anything else to say?” Bai Wei asked.
Yang Chen pondered for a moment before saying, “If possible, Emperor Senior, could you please shelter the Eastern Branch? Not completely, just a partial shelter.”
“Yang Chen, it seems you are a man of loyalty and righteousness. You followed the Eastern Branch all the way here and haven’t forgotten them when you leave. Alright, I promise you, this isn’t a difficult matter. You’ve done me a huge favor, and this is nothing in comparison,” Bai Wei said.
Yang Chen nodded only after hearing Bai Wei’s promise.
Bai Wei immediately asked, “Do you have any other requests?”
“No,” Yang Chen replied.
Seeing that Yang Chen had no other requests, Bai Wei continued, “Three days later, come to my Cave Mansion. Use these three days to settle all your other affairs. I will arrange everything for your departure within these three days!”
“Yes, Emperor Senior!” Yang Chen agreed.
Leaving the Bai family left Yang Chen feeling quite emotional. After all, no matter how things turned out, staying in the Bai family for one more day meant an extra day of security. Once he left the Bai family, he would have to step back onto the path of fleeing for his life.
With that in mind, Yang Chen’s thoughts filled with melancholy.
It must be said that he had become a well-known figure in the Bai family. Both main and branch family members wanted to get to know him and exchange some experiences with him.
Yang Chen didn’t pay attention to these people and went straight to Bai Yishan.
Now, Yang Chen and Bai Yishan were in the same room, surrounded by tight prohibitions to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
“Yang Chen, what is this?” Bai Yishan couldn’t help but ask, seeing how serious Yang Chen was.
With a heavy tone, Yang Chen said, “Elder Bai, I came to see you alone because I wanted to say goodbye.”
“Goodbye? Yang Chen, what’s going on? You’ve been doing well in the Bai family, and you even have Emperor Bai Wei as your protector. Why do you suddenly want to say goodbye? Where are you going?” Bai Yishan didn’t understand.
Yang Chen couldn’t help but chuckle. He explained the whole story to Bai Yishan.
Upon hearing Yang Chen’s description, Bai Yishan suddenly realized. He stared at Yang Chen in astonishment and exclaimed, “So, you actually made a deal with Emperor Bai Wei, and he wants you to leave.”
“It’s not that strange, Elder Bai. After all, Emperor Bai Wei isn’t obligated to clean up my mess,” Yang Chen said with a bitter smile. “Besides, my situation can’t involve the Bai family. Leaving is inevitable. However, I have already spoken with Emperor Bai Wei. The Bai Wei Ancestor has agreed to take care of you, the Eastern Branch. But the number is limited, so Elder Bai Yishan must seize this opportunity.”
Bai Yishan suddenly changed color upon hearing this and exclaimed, “Yang Chen, you…you brought this up to Emperor Bai Wei? And he even promised to take care of us?”
He knew the true meaning and significance of this.
Being cared for by the Great Emperor was tantamount to having the support of the Great Emperor himself. Even if he only cared for a few people, the Eastern Branch could possibly stand firm within the main family. This was the charm of the Great Emperor, how many Great Emperor powerhouses were in the main family?
Upon thinking this, Bai Yishan’s voice trembled, and he looked deeply at Yang Chen, unable to help but say, “Yang Chen, you are… I am truly grateful for your great kindness. How could I, Bai Yishan, deserve such a favor from you?”
Yang Chen laughed, “Elder Bai, don’t worry about it. It’s just a small gesture. However, I still need you to promise me one thing.”
Bai Yishan hurriedly responded, “Yang Chen, rest assured, I swear that I will not reveal any part of your information to outsiders.”
“That’s not it. I trust you, Elder Bai. My purpose in coming to you this time is to ask you to take care of Miss Jiang,” Yang Chen said.
Bai Yishan couldn’t help but feel puzzled. “Do you mean you don’t plan to take Miss Jiang with you when you leave?”
“Elder Bai, think about it. When I leave, the journey will be dangerous, and my life will be at risk at any moment. I can’t let Miss Jiang follow me on such a dangerous adventure. So, Elder Bai, you must take good care of Miss Jiang. All I ask is that you keep her safe and sound,” Yang Chen said.
Bai Yishan clasped his hands together, “Leave that to me!”
Jiang Caiying’s strength was not strong, so it was natural for Bai Yishan to have no hesitation in agreeing to look after her.
With that settled, Yang Chen felt relieved.
Jiang Caiying’s identity wasn’t as obscure as Yang Chen’s. Leaving her under Bai Yishan’s protection would be more than enough. Now that Jiang Caiying’s situation was settled, it was time for Yang Chen to meet with Emperor Bai Wei.
