Lingshui Street was the loneliest commercial street in Ren City, but it was the biggest market, because what was sold here were not ordinary household items, but spiritual items that were used by spirit users. There were elixir pills made from elixirs, spiritual weapons forged with spiritual energy minerals, inner cores of various demon beasts, and materials; the prices listed here were based on gold coins as the basic unit.

The two shops managed by Bai Chen were located on Loulan Street, and they were well-placed. After all, they were owned by the Bai Clan, and in Ren City, the Bai Clan was one of the top families.

The other families in the city liked to find trouble with him, but no one dared to find trouble in the Bai Clan store. If they did so, they would not find trouble with Bai Chen, but with the Bai Clan. At that time, the one who would stand out would definitely be the Bai Clan's Elder in charge.

This wasn't the first time they had encountered such a hubbub in the shop, but it was all because of the transaction with the mercenary company and the treasure hunt. This time, Bai Chen could faintly hear someone calling his name, indicating that he had come to find him.

Bai Chen walked to the front desk, and the noisy crowd quieted down. Many of the young masters who loved to bully Bai Chen all looked at him with ridiculing expressions. When Bai Chen saw the peerlessly beautiful young lady standing in the middle of the shop, he took a deep breath, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

Qiu Yun was a direct descendant of the Qiu Family in Canghai City. She was the same age as Bai Chen and her mother was a side branch of the Bai Family. Her father was responsible for the business of the Qiu Family in Ren City and was on good terms with Bai Chen's father.

Bai Chen's father and her father's relationship was not very good. However, it could not be compared to the relationship between the two of them. The reason for that was because the two of them were betrothed to each other. She was Bai Chen's fianc?e.

When she found out that she was going to marry this silly little girl in the future, Bai Chen was not too happy and often took the lead to tease her. There was even one time when he burnt her hair, making Qiu Yun cry at home for three days without going out.

Although Bai Chen's innate talent and comprehension were unparalleled, his character was inferior. He could play the role of a popinjay and act like a hooligan at such a young age. He definitely wasn't a good husband.

Qiu Yun's mother was very dissatisfied with the marriage. After Bai Chen burnt Qiu Yun's hair, she brought her back to Canghai City, and left behind a message for the marriage to be annulled. However, at that time, Bai Chen was in high spirits and was overjoyed upon hearing this, so Qiu Yun's father shook his head and did not object.

Four years had passed in a flash, and the little yellow haired girl from back then had a slender and elegant appearance, with jet-black hair like a piece of satin, and a pair of large eyes like a young girl's haughtiness on her beautiful face. Her ten fingers were as white as a scallion, and her slender waist was as thin as a willow.

Bai Chen looked at the young girl in front of him, his heart filled with countless thoughts. At this moment, she was just like how he had looked at her back then. Her eyes were filled with disdain and haughtiness.

Bai Chen opened his mouth a few times. Finally, he shook his head with a bitter smile, unable to say a single word.

After Qiu Yun looked at Bai Chen for a while, she took out a low Grade Three Dan Ink Lotus and said, "Help me keep this lotus in my custody for three days. If it returns to me safely after three days, you and I will settle things. If you still don't come back, you will either be beaten by Xiao Ya or have your hair shaved."

Everything had to do with retribution, and because of some other reason, it had turned out to be fruitful. Bai Chen's own fault in the past had come back after four years.

If it was four years ago, when he had just lost his spiritual energy, Bai Chen would have been furious and resentful towards Ouyang Yun and Xiao Ya. But now, it was different, because this was very fair.

Bai Chen nodded as he received the Ink Lotus. He was willing to give up an Inferior Grade Three Ink Lotus for revenge. It could be seen how much he had bullied her. After so many years, Qiu Yun was even willing to pay such a price to avenge her grievance.

In this world, spiritual medicines were divided into nine grades, with each grade being divided into upper, middle, and lower.

After throwing down the Ink Lotus, Qiu Yun didn't want to spare Bai Chen another glance as he turned around and left. After the two girls left, a group of people, who liked to bully Bai Chen, surrounded them.

"Great genius Chen, I didn't expect your wife to be so infatuated with you. She came to see you as soon as we arrived in Ren City, and even left you a Dan Ink Lotus. The two of you really have strong feelings for each other." Liu Qi ridiculed him while feigning admiration.

On the side, Wang Shaotian sneered: "Haha ?" "Genius Chen, right now, you are just a piece of trash. What use do you have for this Ink Lotus? How about you give it to me. Beauty's grace, you can't accept it either. It's good for you to quickly divorce her."

"Originally, you looked down on me. Now, look at me. I am like a fairy. Furthermore, looking at you, you are even inferior to a dog."

He had listened to these cold words for four years, and every time he heard them, the anger in his heart would grow. Some of these people had been bullied by him, but in these past four years, he had been bullied ten times, a hundred times more! There was a part of him that was not worthy of being bullied at all. For the past four years, he had been constantly bullied!

The cycle of karma was a form of retribution! He had already paid them back for the past four years, but he would one day make them pay for what they owed him! Ten times, a hundred times!

"I'll leave this Ink Lotus here. It's priced at three hundred Spirit Stones. Whoever wants to buy it, you can bid." Bai Chen lightly placed the lotus on the counter. This was the Bai Clan's shop, so no matter what they did, it would be fine. However, if they dared to take something from the store without paying, then they would have to bear the Bai Clan's wrath!

The purpose of the Ink Lotus that Qiu Yun gave to Bai Chen was to attract these noble disciples to snatch it from her, and also to humiliate her. Although Bai Chen felt guilty towards Qiu Yun, she was not a fool who could not change anything, she just wanted to take care of him, and if she did not want to help, she would have to make use of the Bai Clan's influence and her position. As for who won, it all depended on who was more cunning.

Bai Chen's move caused the surrounding young masters who were grinding their fists to be stunned. No one expected Bai Chen to unblinkingly confiscate the Ink Lotus. No one dared to rob him now, and buying it with three hundred spirit stones might not be too expensive, but they might not even be able to afford it with all their belongings gathered.

"If you want to buy it, then buy it as soon as possible. If you don't, this isn't a market, so don't disturb our Bai Clan's business." Bai Chen mocked.

"Humph!" "Useless scum of the Bai Clan, don't act so arrogantly. Don't go out on the streets or I'll beat you up every time I see you!"

"Trash, you still have to be cocky. Do you still remember how badly I beat you up the last time? We have a long time to live, don't let me catch you, or else ?" "Hehe, you understand."

"Trash, I admire your courage. I've beaten you so many times yet you're still so unyielding. This is the reason why I like to beat you up the most. This is a good habit. Continue to maintain it. When I beat you up, you must never give in."

"This shop is not a teahouse or restaurant. If you want to buy, do so as soon as possible. If you don't want to buy, then let's go."

Bai Chen then turned around to return to the back of the hall. He would remember the humiliation these silkpants had brought to him. Right now, he did not have the strength to back up, no matter how soft he was or how hard he was forced to be. This was reality; let's not let him recover his strength, once he does, he would definitely make these people regret it for the rest of their lives!

As usual, Bai Chen followed the clan's carriage back to his clan, tiredly returning to his little courtyard. After a day of hard work, he could only sit cross-legged and cultivate, thinking back to the time when he was forced by his parents to meditate and cultivate. Now that he wanted to cultivate, he had to steal some martial arts and desperately squeeze out that little bit of time he had left in his sleep.

Not long after he started cultivating, the small courtyard door was kicked open. Bai Chen opened his eyes and angrily put on his clothes. It was so late at night and there were people looking for his bad luck, such a dutiful duty!

Bai Lin Yun kicked open the door to Bai Chen's bedroom. He walked in with a smile on his face and said, "Bai Chen, I didn't expect you to be so generous. The third-grade Ink Lotus is willing to be sold in the family store, but the family can't take advantage of you.

Bai Chen's expression was ice-cold as he stared at Bai Linyun. If he wanted to safely pass through this calamity, he could only rely on his family's influence. However, Bai Linyun wanted to force him to his death!

"Bai Chen, you're trash. This lotus flower in your hands is truly a waste. How about I help you keep it, haha ?" "All of these things will be used up." Bai Linyun looked at Bai Chen in ridicule. After obtaining a Grade Three Ink Lotus in vain, Bai Linyun's mood was elated. Three days later, Bai Chen would either be beaten up by a maid, or he would have his hair shaved.

Bai Chen slowly walked in front of Bai Linyun, his eyes looking at Dan Mo Lian as he said, "Bai Linyun, I, Bai Chen, am a direct descendant of the Bai Clan. Bai Chen slowly walked in front of Bai Linyun, his eyes looking at Dan Mo Lian as he said," Bai Linyun, I'm a direct descendant of the Bai Clan.

"Because of the Karma Fruit, I have to repay you. In the future, if I, Bai Chen, ever regain my strength, I will definitely repay you!"

Bai Lin Yun laughed sinisterly and grabbed Bai Chen by the collar, "You useless trash, and you're even a direct descendant. If I were you, I would have killed you a long time ago, you're only a twelve year old High Rank Spirit Master, so what? You're just a dog now, and you want to take revenge on me? You're just a piece of trash, so what!"

"You want to take revenge on me? Then remember how I've bullied you. If I don't beat you up into a dog today, I'll ?" Bai Lin Yun reached out his hand to grab Bai Chen's mouth, but Bai Chen held his mouth tightly and chewed with all his might. By the time Bai Lin Yun opened his mouth, Bai Chen had already swallowed the Pill Ink Lotus.

"You ? "You lunatic!" Bai Lin Yun pushed Bai Chen away in fear, his finger trembling as he pointed at Bai Chen, not knowing what to say. A Grade Three Pill Ink Lotus, even though it was only a lower grade pill, the lotus still contained a terrifying amount of spirit energy. Even a high level Spirit Apostle like Bai Lin Yun only dared to eat a single lotus petal.

Bai Chen had taken the opportunity to swallow a lotus flower without noticing. That terrifying amount of spiritual energy was something even a High Rank Spiritual Master would not be able to withstand! What's more, a trash like him would definitely explode from the terrifying spiritual energy.

Even if Bai Chen was in a terrible state, he was still the son of the previous Patriarch of the Bai Clan. Bai Zhantian was only in closed-door training and did not have a good relationship with his elder brother and sister, but Bai Chen was also their half-brother. The two of them were both in school at Canghai Academy and were the most outstanding disciples in the Bai Clan.

It was fine for him to bully Bai Chen like other people, but if he was so vile as to deserve to be bullied, not many people would try to take advantage of him. However, if he were to kill Bai Chen and kill a direct descendant of his family, the family would definitely start anew, and once Bai Chen's older brother and sister came back, no matter how bad their relationship was, they would have to avenge Bai Chen and kill him.

This bastard actually wanted to drag her down to her grave!
