My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 345 - 25: Aftermath and Departure [Second Update]

"What did you say?" The Bai Family Master’s voice suddenly rose, even cracking, as he stood up abruptly. The teacup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, but he seemed oblivious, his eyes wide as he stared at Zhou Quan.

"The Ye Family was not behind the incident with the medicine field this time. It was done by a medicine farmer named Zhong Yu. He used to work for our Bai Family, but was dismissed earlier and held a grudge, so he sabotaged the medicine field. By the time I found him, he was already gone." Zhou Quan’s expression did not change in response to the Bai Family Master’s shock, his tone remained steady as ever.

"Search! Find him for me! Dig three feet into the ground if you must, but find him!" The Bai Family Master’s eyes reddened, and he spoke through gritted teeth.

"Yes, I will go right away." Zhou Quan responded, stood up, and with a flicker of his form, he left the study directly.

Once Zhou Quan’s figure disappeared, the Bai Family Master seemed to be drained of all his strength, collapsing back into his chair. As he leaned back, resting against the chair, he closed his eyes, appearing extremely fatigued, as though he had aged several years in an instant.

He naturally did not believe that this matter had nothing to do with the Ye Family, but Zhou Quan was always meticulous in his work and could not have investigated incorrectly. This only meant that the Ye Family’s methods were exceptionally clever this time, also indicating that he had misjudged them. The Ye Family had been suppressed for a long time, which made him complacent, thinking the Ye Family was no big deal. In hindsight, it must have been the Ye Family intentionally lying low to catch him off guard, then seize the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow!

With the destruction of the medicine field, whether it could be restored was one issue; the most pressing matter now was the herbs. Those people he had dismissed before would definitely return when they realized the situation, and if the Bai Family couldn’t deliver the herbs, they would have to compensate those people for their losses, which would amount to a significant sum of immortal coins, a loss that would heavily impact even the Bai Family!

Thinking of all this, the Bai Family Master’s headache intensified, as if it was about to explode.

...

Ye Family.

In Ye Tingyan’s study.

Ye Tingyan, Ye Tingshen, Ye Tingwen, and Ye Wanwan, the four siblings gathered, each with an expression of joy.

"Big brother, you’re amazing. When you make a move, it’s a big one. The Bai Family treasures their medicine field the most, and now that something has happened to it, they’re surely in chaos. Just thinking about them having a hard time makes me very happy!" Ye Wanwan said, sipping on honey specially prepared for her by Ye Tingyan, smiling brightly.

"That’s right, big brother is impressive. Now the Bai Family is in a complete mess, and most importantly, this incident has nothing to do with our Ye Family. The Bai Family can’t find any reason to trouble us!" Ye Tingshen nodded in agreement, his eyes gleaming with admiration as he looked at Ye Tingyan.

Among the four Ye siblings, in terms of talent, Ye Tingwen was undoubtedly the strongest, but when it came to scheming, Ye Tingyan was miles ahead of the other three!

"This deal surely caused huge losses to the Bai Family, and it will take them a while to recover. This gives me peace of mind to leave." Ye Tingwen spoke with a smile, looking relaxed.

Previously, the Bai Family had teamed up with the Sheng Family to suppress the Ye Family, making their situation very difficult. Ye Tingwen had always been worried, but now seeing Ye Tingyan’s action causing the Bai Family significant losses, he felt much relief. After all, he was soon to depart for the Langya Immortal Sect and might not return for a long time. Naturally, he hoped the Ye Family would remain well.

As he spoke, the joyful atmosphere changed, knowing that Ye Tingwen was leaving, Ye Tingyan and the others felt very reluctant.

"Third brother, you must take care of yourself in the Langya Immortal Sect. I will work hard to become a disciple there too, so I can come to find you!" Ye Wanwan clung to Ye Tingwen’s arm, expressing her reluctance.

"Alright, third brother will be waiting for you." Ye Tingwen gently patted Ye Wanwan’s head with a warm tone.

"Third brother, rest assured and go to Langya Immortal Sect. With me and second brother here, the previous situation where the Bai Family suppressed us will never happen again. Focus on your cultivation." Ye Tingyan blinked, instructing with a tinge of reluctance.

"Big brother is right, third brother, just focus on cultivation. Having you in the Langya Immortal Sect is a guarantee for us; others wouldn’t dare to bully us!" Ye Tingshen nodded in agreement with Ye Tingyan.

"Big brother, second brother," Ye Tingwen looked at Ye Tingyan and Ye Tingshen, a hint of moisture in his eyes, "while I’m not here, I’ll rely on you to take care of home. I’ll cultivate well, break through soon, let’s all work together to make the Ye Family better!"

This was the wish of the three brothers since childhood. For many years, they had been working towards this goal. Even though Ye Tingwen would soon go to the Langya Immortal Sect and they wouldn’t be together, their determination remained unchanged!

The four exchanged a glance, sharing a light smile, dispersing much of the sorrow of parting.

...

The Bai Family’s medicine field ultimately could not be salvaged, the batch of herbs there completely ruined. Those who had preordered their herbs from the Bai Family demanded their deposits back, causing a great deal of stress for the Bai Family Master, who eventually compensated a sizable sum of money to calm the situation.

Zhou Quan and his team searched all around Purple Sunset City but could not find a trace of Zhong Yu. He returned with a heavy heart to report to the Bai Family Master, who scolded him severely.

This incident caused huge losses for the Bai Family, leading them to become much more low-key and subdued.

This matter happened quickly and ended just as swiftly. Before the Sheng Family could react, the Bai Family had already been defeated. Although it was said to be Zhong Yu’s doing, everyone knew the Ye Family likely played a role, which made the Sheng Family wary of the Ye Family, bringing a quieter peace to Purple Sunset City once again.

Two days passed in a flash, and on the morning of the third day, those who passed the test gathered in the square to follow Yan Lingcheng aboard the flying artifact bound for the Langya Immortal Sect.

The Langya Immortal Sect was quite far from Purple Sunset City, needing four days to reach even by flying artifact. During the journey, everyone had to stay aboard the artifact.

Yan Lingcheng’s flying artifact was very large, enough to accommodate over fifty people, with each having a room. The entire artifact was a luxurious ship, with four layers, capable of expanding and contracting, similar to the magic artifact Si Lin crafted for Gu Qingqing but even more lavish.

On the way, Yan Lingcheng specifically sought out the four of them, and upon learning they had ascended from the Lower Realm, Yan Lingcheng was extremely surprised.
