Adorable treasured fox: Divine doctor mother overturning the heavens! Chapter 452

Chapter 452 “Medicine Sect (3)”

He laughed and laughed, then came the muddled tears of grief trickling down his cheeks.
Ever since his daughter Bai Ning disappeared without a trace years ago, he’s been sleepless and distraught over this fact. For that, not only did his hair turn entirely white overnight, even his son Bai Zhanpeng has been unable to seek a caring wife due to the woes of that case.
And now…. word has returned that Bai Ning has a daughter? Even if the hope was little, it still means his daughter could be alive!
“Son, where is that girl, I want to meet her.” Bai Chang Feng’s (grandpa) voice carried an incessant impatience like he’s anticipating the best outcome possible.
“She should still be in the Liu Huo Kingdom. Though I did send her an invitation before so she might be coming to attend.” Cooling his initial excitement, Bai Zhanpeng reverts back to his usual calm self, “Father, let’s keep this matter away from the girl for now. I fear if we make a mistake and cause a circus then it won’t be good for us or Miss Bai Yan. There’s already enough sadness in the air so I don’t want to increase that any further.”
In response, Bai Chang Feng only showed a discontented frown. Apparently this grandfather thought otherwise and didn’t agree with his son’s viewpoint.
“Father,” ignoring the discontented glare coming his way, “it’s true Bai Yan is very likely my niece, but that doesn’t mean its entirely certain yet.”
“However…” He pauses, giving a moment of silence for both of them to think on this, “If the unfortunate does come true, I would still like to take her in as my goddaughter. She’s a wonderful girl and it’s a shame to let someone like that go without help.”
Regardless of what sort of outcome this turns out to be, Bai Zhanpeng’s attachment to Bai Yan has already been set in stone since the first day he laid eyes on the woman. Perhaps it’s the face that looked so familiar to his younger sister, but the feelings are true.
Bai Chang Feng was quiet. Letting the mood hang for a moment, he waves his hand in defeat, “Fine, fine, I will do as you want me to. In any case, regardless of what the results are, I will still take the lass into my Medicine Sect and properly raise her as is. Besides, those three rascals from the Holy Land’s been coming over recently to flaunt in front of me about their amazing disciple! If that lass Bai Yan can become a member of my Medicine Sect then we can one up the rest just like usual.”
Of course, the most important factor in his decision here still lingers around the fact that Bai Yan looked far too similar to his daughter Bai Ning.
Even if she isn’t my granddaughter, at the very least l can sooth my old heart by reminiscing that face….
BANG!
Out of the blue, the door to the study room was suddenly pushed open and in came another person whom neither son and father here wanted to see.
“Brother-in-law, you must get justice for me! If you don’t then I won’t be able to continue living!” The one making this chicken cry was a gray-haired old lady who promptly burst into tears at first sight.
Compared to most of the members in the Medicine Sect who knows how to keep a certain standard for themselves, this granny could only be called a ‘shrew’. As a result, Bai Chang Feng’s expression instantly sank and became exceptionally ugly.
“What do you want now?” Annoyed by the interruption, the lord and master of this great power made no effort to hide his foul mood.
“Brother-in-law, you have to get justice for me. Those people out there is talking behind my back and calling me a leech that doesn’t do anything to contribute to the Medicine Sect. How can they say that about me? This place is my brother-in-law’s home, meaning its my home!” Wiping the tears off her old face, “If you continue to let those people make such irresponsible remarks then how can you ever face my dead sister?”
Tightening his hand into a ball, that last remark definitely hit a sore spot for the elder, Humph, if not for my late wife then none of you people would have ever taken a step into my home!
“What do you want then?”
The old lady then reveals her true color with that smug grin: “Brother-in-law, I see that Zhanpeng is already forty something and without a single child, why don’t I have my granddaughter Ying’er become his goddaughter? She is so sensible and good, I’m sure she will be very filial to him in the future.”
“Humph!” Understanding the intent of this old shrew, the grandpa couldn’t help but make a snarling sneer with his mouth.
“First, my Medicine Sect has very strict rules. Aside from producing a bunch of thick skins like you, who would dare talk behind our backs?”
“Secondly, a girl like Ye Ying is too much for me, I can’t afford it.”
