Chapter 887: Bad News Succession
With a gloomy face, Shiro walked back to the room where his daughter was.
At this time, Bai Lingqiao and Bai Yanyan were chatting, and when they saw their father coming in from outside with a stern expression, they were both stunned.
"Father, have you talked to that Flo senior?" Bai Lingqiao asked curiously.
"I know, it must have been that person who put up a fight and then made my father angry, right?" Bai Yanyan smiled mischievously, as if she had completely forgotten the experience of being rescued from her.
Bai Zi didn't speak, just frowned, as if thinking about something.
"Father, what did Master Flo say?" Bai Lingqiao continued to ask.
In her opinion, it was too difficult for her father to get involved with Flo, and if her grandfather was still alive, it might still be possible.
"Father, you are really, you are reluctant, you are willing to seek the near and far, and you don't go to the powerful refiner in front of you, and you actually go to find that 'Heavenly Rank Refiner'!" Bai Yanyan chuckled first.
Then, he suddenly lowered his voice and continued very mysteriously, "Father, I'll tell you a secret, that one is called Dongfang Xiuzhe, his alchemy skills are amazing, in my opinion, he has reached the peak realm, if we can have a good relationship with him, our Bai family will definitely become stronger!"
Bai Lingqiao, who was on the side, nodded secretly when she heard her sister's words.
When she saw the young man refining the weapon, she was really frightened.
According to her guess, the level of that young man's alchemy skills will not be lower than the "Heavenly Rank" in menopause, and it may be an exaggeration to say that he has "reached the peak", but one thing is certain, Bai Lingqiao has never seen anyone whose alchemy skills can surpass that young man.
Therefore, she agrees with her sister's point of view that she can't be wrong with having a good relationship with that teenager.
Who knows, after hearing this. Bai Zi became even more displeased, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't be here anymore, let's go back!"
"Father?"
"Don't say anything more, hurry up and go back with me!" After a pause, Bai Zi said to Bai Yanyan in a stern tone, "You are not allowed to come here again in the future!"

After Flo came out of the "Zhaobaolai Shop", he was dressed in coarse cloth, with his head bowed and his frowns furrowed, walking down the street.
Although he boasted of Haikou, he found the "Flying Crane Green Crystal" and the "Heavenly Ringing Sound Stone" within five days. But it's not that easy to do.
In order to gather other ores, he searched almost all the warehouses of the "Refining Association", and visited all the stalls at the "Refining Festival".
"Hey!" Sighing, Flo muttered to himself, "It seems that this time, I need to borrow the relationship of the eldest disciple!"
Flo had a total of three apprentices.
The eldest disciple Du Qing, the head of the Du family, although he has talent. However, because of his ambition and viciousness in order to achieve his goals, he has not been loved by Flo.
The second disciple, Su Zhu, is the chief refiner of the royal family. Because it was for the royal service, and Flo hated to have anything to do with the royal family the most, so he gradually became estranged.
The third disciple Bailuo, the president of the Heavenly Fire Empire Refining Association. He is Flo's favorite disciple, and it is precisely because of this that Flo has been living in seclusion in the underground passages of the Refining Association. Only these three disciples knew his whereabouts.
This time, in order to be able to find the "Feihe Green Crystal" and the "Heavenly Ringing Sound Stone" in five days, Flo had to go to Du's house once.
Du family, a luxurious carriage approached from afar.
The guard in front of the door had already greeted him from afar: "The master is back, the master is back!"
Du Yuanxiang in the carriage had just returned from the palace, because the royal family had ordered a batch of very precious ores, which he personally escorted for safety.
"It's worthy of being royal, it's generous to make a move, this business has made an extra 10%!"
Du Yuanxiang is in a good mood, in addition to earning an extra 10% income because of this business, but also because the royal family has ordered another batch of rare ores, which only needs to be collected in three days, and he can earn an extra 20% of his income.
This is a rare good thing, not only can he make more money for the Du family, but his status in the Du family will be improved a little, and it is very likely that the next head of the family will be his.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, Du Yuanxiang stepped down from the carriage, and when he saw the guard kneeling in front of him, he couldn't help asking: "During the time I left, did Du Ji cause trouble again?"
He knows too well what kind of virtue his son has, and he will definitely sneak out while he is away.
Judging by the panicked and timid looks of these guards, it must be his son who ran out despite the obstacles.
"Back to my lord, this time it's not Du Ji Gongzi who is causing trouble, but someone breaking into the mansion to make trouble!" said a guard with a trembling voice.
"Someone broke in?Who is so bold?" Du Yuanxiang was stunned for a moment and asked in a cold voice.
"The identity of the intruder has not been clarified, but it is known that they have killed hundreds of guards, and even Lord Ghostface has not been spared!" the guard's voice became lower and lower, and he pressed his hands to the ground, not daring to look up at all.
"What did you say?" Du Yuanxiang's surprise was not trivial.
Ghost Face, that is one of his right-hand men, his strength is far above the "ghost hand" who was killed, and he stayed in the mansion just to deal with some emergencies.
Unexpectedly, not long after he left, Ghost Face had already been killed!
And the place where he was killed was still in their Du Mansion, which was simply unimaginable.
"Tell me more details, what's going on?" Du Yuanxiang's face became more and more ugly, and the good mood just now disappeared.
"I don't know the specific process, but I know that the three intruders came and went without a trace, and their strength is very powerful. ”
"Hmph, no matter who it is, I must make him pay!"
Du Yuanxiang walked into the mansion and ordered someone to call the housekeeper, he wanted to ask what was going on?
The old butler walked in from outside with a strange expression, and when he saw Du Yuanxiang sitting on the chair with a gloomy face, he couldn't help but bow down and say, "Master, you're back, is the deal with the royal family still smooth?"
"I heard that there were three intruders in the mansion, who killed hundreds of guards, and even the 'ghost face' was killed, but is there such a thing?" Du Yuanxiang asked with the anger in his heart.
The old butler blinked his eyes and looked dazed: "There is such a thing, why don't I know at all?
He was before he was called. Still asleep in the room, my head was heavy, and I couldn't remember a lot of things.
"Bump!"
Du Yuanxiang slapped the table, and the whole room trembled.
He shouted: "What are you eating, such a big thing happened in the house, you don't even know?"
The old housekeeper hurriedly knelt down and said with an aggrieved face: "Master, I really don't have any impression at all, and I don't know what's wrong with this brain, I don't know how I lay on the bed!"
"Hmph!" Du Yuanxiang snorted coldly. "That's your reason?"
"Master, what I said is true, you have to believe me!"
"Such a bad reason, you make me believe you?"
Du Yuanxiang sneered, and his expression seemed to say: Even if you are the old housekeeper in the house, if you can't explain it clearly, you will still be severely punished.
The old butler put on a thoughtful look, and kept patting his head.
It was at this time. A servant came running outside.
"Master, go and see, Du Ji seems to have been overly frightened, and has been hiding under the bed and refusing to come out!" said the servant.
Du Yuanxiang's mood became even worse. He said angrily: "What tricks does he have to come up with with this son of a? Leave him alone, let him go crazy!"
Shortly after the servant went down, another guard came in from outside, who was in charge of guarding the underground warehouse.
The guard glanced at the old butler kneeling on the ground with a strange look. Then he walked to Du Yuanxiang's side and muttered quietly.
When he heard the guard's report, Du Yuanxiang was shocked and took the case.
"You...... What are you talking about, the housekeeper took someone into the underground warehouse without permission? When did this happen?" Du Yuanxiang suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
"An hour ago. The butler led a young man who claimed to be from the palace, saying that he wanted to see the goods......" said the guard truthfully.
"Say, what the hell is going on?" Du Yuanxiang yelled, almost scaring the kneeling butler to death.
"Wronged!" the old butler wailed, then pointed to the guard's nose and said angrily, "you...... Why are you here to frame me?"
"Framed?" the guard smiled coldly, and then said, "The butler is really a noble person, and the person in charge of the guard can testify, whether it is framed or not, you will know as soon as you ask!"
"This can't be, this can't be......" The old butler was about to collapse.
At this time, several guards ran in from the outside one after another, and the content brought was actually about the old butler leading the mysterious boy into the underground warehouse.
Hearing this report after report, Du Yuanxiang was not only angry, but full of worry.
"You...... Tell me honestly, who the hell is that young man, and what the hell are you trying to do with him in so many warehouses?"
The only thing that Du Yuanxiang was still able to calm down was that even if the old housekeeper had the ability to bring outsiders into the underground warehouse, if he didn't have the key and the method of opening the formation, it would never be possible to open the last three doors in the warehouse.
In this way, even if there is a plan, those rare ores can be preserved.
As long as those rare ores are still there, he has a way to remedy them.
At this time, the old butler kept shaking his head, he didn't know how to explain it.
"Take my token, you go to the warehouse to check it out!" Du Yuanxiang tossed his token to one of the guards.
If you don't have a token, even the guards waiting there won't have the right to enter the warehouse.
"Yes!"
The guards all went down.
Just when Du Yuanxiang was ready to interrogate the housekeeper, a doorman came to report, and a sloppy old man who had never seen him outside the door threatened to see the Du family steward!
"No, blast me away!" Du Yuanxiang said angrily.
He's so tired now, how can he have time to meet a bad old man. (To be continued......)
