Su Hao and Bai Lingyu waited. Not long after, a dignified and handsome middle-aged man quickly walked into the City Lord's Mansion, surrounded by a large group of people.
Seeing the handsome middle-aged man, Bai Lingyu couldn't help but shout,"Father!"
This person was none other than the City Lord of Heavenly Spirit City, Bai Fenghua. When he saw Bai Lingyu, he could not hide the joy on his face."Lingyu? You actually came? Why didn't you inform me before you came!"
Bai Lingyu was Bai Fenghua's illegitimate daughter. Bai Lingyu had seen Bai Fenghua when she was young. It was not until her mother had a conflict with her that she left with her. Bai Fenghua also wanted to find them, but he knew Bai Lingyu's mother's character, so he could only not meet her.
After so many years, Bai Lingyu's mother didn't want to waste her talent because she had a spiritual root, so she let her come to Heaven Spirit City.
"Earlier…Mother had already sent a letter to Heaven Spirit City. Did no one receive it?" Bai Lingyu asked.”
"A letter?" Bai Fenghua was stunned. What letter?"
Su Hao looked at this scene and roughly understood something. Bai Lingyu's mother had written a letter to Bai Fenghua, but Bai Fenghua didn't receive it. Obviously, someone was trying to sabotage him. It wasn't difficult to guess the identity of this person. It was most likely the third wife that the black-robed old man had confessed before his death!
Bai Fenghua was not a fool. His face was slightly gloomy. He knew that someone was most likely causing trouble, and it must be someone from the family. Then, he said to Bai Lingyu with a gentle expression,"Tell me what happened in detail. I want to see who has the guts to do this!”
With Bai Fenghua's methods, it was not difficult to find out about this matter.
Bai Lingyu introduced him to Bai Fenghua,""Father, this is Su Hao, Big Brother Su. He was the one who protected me along the way so that I could reach Heaven Spirit City safely!”
Bai Fenghua looked at Su Hao and said with a smile,""Indeed, heroes come from young people. Little friend Su, stay in the City Lord's Estate for a few days. Let me do my best to be the host.”
"Okay, then I'll disturb you."
Su Hao nodded slightly. He had been on the road for a few days, so there was no need to go back immediately. It was good to rest for a day or two.
Bai Fenghua had arranged the best guest room for Su Hao, and he was reunited with Bai Lingyu and her daughter. Su Hao naturally wouldn't disturb him.
As for the mastermind, Third Madam, Su Hao didn't care how Bai Fenghua planned to deal with her. His only task was to send Bai Lingyu safely to Tian Ling City.
"Young Master Su, the City Lord asked me to invite you to the living room for a meal.”The next morning, a servant came to inform Su Hao.
"Yes, bring me there." Su Hao nodded and followed the servant to the living room.
Bai Fenghua and Bai Lingyu were both in the living room.
At this time, Bai Lingyu had changed back into women's clothing. She was wearing a long dress, which made her look very beautiful. She looked at Su Hao with a shy gaze. Su Hao was also not used to it. After all, Bai Lingyu had been disguised as a man before.
"Please take a seat."
Bai Fenghua immediately invited Su Hao to take a seat.
At the dining table, Bai Fenghua said gratefully,""I've already heard from my daughter about what happened on the way. If it weren't for little friend Su, if anything happened to Lingyu, I would definitely regret it for the rest of my life.”
"This is what I should do. The Lingyun Escort Agency has always been a reliable escort agency.”
Su Hao shook his head.
"Let's eat."
Meanwhile, Bai Lingyu kept putting food into Su Hao's bowl.
Bai Fenghua, who was watching from the side, shook his head. After becoming a Qi Practitioner, one would be in a different world from ordinary people. Qi Practitioners usually had long lifespans, but martial artists, even if they had profound inner energy and became martial arts grandmasters, had limited lifespans.
Bai Fenghua could tell that his daughter had a good impression of Su Hao, but he wouldn't interfere or say anything.
After the meal, Bai Fenghua said," Now, go and test Ling 'er's specific spiritual roots. After that, see if you can find a suitable master for her to cultivate with."”
Qi Practitioners were of noble status, but with Bai Fenghua's status, he knew many powerful Qi Practitioners and could help Bai Lingyu find a suitable master.
At this point, Bai Fenghua said to Su Hao,""Little friend Su, come with us. You can also test if you have a spiritual root.”
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you!"
This made Su Hao's eyes light up. Not everyone could become a Qi Practitioner. If they had the choice, 99% of them would be willing to become a Qi Practitioner. It was much easier to cultivate than a martial artist, and unlike a martial artist who might not be able to defeat a newly initiated Qi Practitioner even after decades of hard work.
Su Hao was curious if he had the qualifications to become a Qi Practitioner!
Bai Fenghua then brought Su Hao and the others to the most heavily guarded hall in the City Lord's Estate. This was the treasure vault of the City Lord's Estate, where the treasures collected by the Bai family were stored.
The treasures to test one's spirit root were also in this treasure vault.
As they entered the treasure vault, Su Hao saw a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, and all kinds of swords and armors. Every single one of them was extraordinary. He was also secretly shocked. The Bai family had ruled Heaven Spirit City for a long time, and their foundation was far more profound than that of ordinary families.
Bai Fenghua brought the two of them to a transparent crystal that was as tall as a person. He smiled at Bai Lingyu and said,""Lingyu, stretch out your hand and press it on this crystal. Focus and you will be able to test your spirit root.”
"Yes."
Bai Lingyu nodded slightly. She stretched out her hand and pressed it on the crystal.
Not long after, the crystal emitted a bright light. Whirlwinds whistled and blue waves surged!
When Bai Fenghua saw this scene, his face revealed a look of ecstasy."You really do have spiritual roots…You even have the rare wind and water spiritual roots. Your future achievements are limitless!”
Bai Feng Hua couldn't hide his joy. Bai Ling Yu's spiritual roots were beyond his expectations. If Bai Ling Yu could become a powerful Qi Practitioner, it would be a great thing for the entire Bai Clan.
Bai Fenghua did not expect his illegitimate daughter to have such talent!
Bai Lingyu was a little happy. She only knew that she had a spiritual root, but she didn't know the exact details. However, from Bai Fenghua's reaction, her aptitude was obviously very good!
After the joy, Bai Fenghua smiled at Su Hao and said,"" Little friend Su, why don't you come and take the test as well? If you have spiritual roots, I can introduce you to a few Qi Practitioners and let them teach you how to cultivate Qi Refinement.”
At this point, Bai Fenghua paused.""However, young friend, don't have too much hope. Those with spiritual roots are too rare, one in ten thousand.”
If Su Hao had a spiritual root, Bai Fenghua was willing to do him a favor, but the probability was very low. In the entire Bai family, besides Bai Lingyu, no one else had a spiritual root.
"Yes."
Su Hao nodded and placed his palm on the crystal with anticipation. He was very curious if he had the qualifications to become a Qi Practitioner.
However, what made Su Hao quite embarrassed was that even though he was focused, after more than ten breaths, there was no reaction from the crystal that tested the spiritual root!
