Chapter 133 My Father, Who Should Have Been a Hero

After seeing Mr. Mu off.

Bai Heng's gaze was sharp and profound.

Qin Wei couldn't help but ask, "General, are we really going to cooperate?"

Bai Heng narrowed his eyes: "The council has come knocking on our door, do we have any reason not to cooperate?"

Qin Wei remained silent, his expression growing increasingly grave.

This Mr. Mu is a renowned expert in the Azure Vein Domain, possessing genuine general-level cultivation.

Its true form is the parasitic vine of the Azure Vein Domain Lord, possessing extremely strong strangulation ability and adept at secreting various medicinal liquids, venoms, and hallucinogenic liquids.

During the Azure Vein Domain Lord's childhood, he almost strangled the Azure Vein Domain Lord to death, and the two sides were sworn enemies.

However, when they encountered enemies chasing them, the two sides joined forces to repel the enemy, since the bloodline of the Azure Vein Domain Lord was the most suitable host for him.

Anyway, the process is very complicated.

Although the Azure Vein Domain Lord later rose to power and completely seized the initiative, he also developed a desire to cherish talent, so he set aside a protégé to support this expert.

It can be said that Mr. Mu is a true confidant of the Azure Vein Domain Lord, just like Qin Wei is to Bai Heng.

Even though his cultivation level hadn't reached the King level, his status was stronger than many King-level individuals.

The fact that such experts were dispatched demonstrates the importance that the Azure Vein Domain attaches to this matter.

They came to our door in person and politely discussed cooperation.

Bai Heng had no reason to refuse.

Qin Wei couldn't help but curse, "What a bunch of useless people! They're afraid to risk their lives for important things, but they're willing to risk their lives for small gains! When we surrounded and killed Mo Li, they were all very proactive, but they secretly held a meeting and started practicing the secret method of cultivating together in the four quarters."

And then the secret was leaked! Is this something a human being would do?

Bai Heng narrowed his eyes, his expression also not very good.

Nobody wants to be a slave for life.

But they are bound by the rules.

He also wanted to get the plan of four people practicing together, but he had to be much more cautious.

I thought I'd never have another chance if I missed this one, but the Council of All Races delivered itself right to my doorstep.

However, this opportunity seems to involve more risks than opportunities.

"General, who do you think the murderer is?"

Qin Wei frowned, feeling that no matter who got their hands on this plan, it could stir up a bloody storm.

It's alright if we can't mass-produce experts.

If we can mass-produce experts, then the entire human race may be seen as a threat.

At that point, the balance that each department has painstakingly maintained will truly be unsustainable.

Bai Heng asked calmly, "Who do you think it could be?"

"Fire-stealers?"

Qin Wei answered tentatively.

"Fire-stealers?"

Bai Heng scoffed, "Those peasants are dirt poor, scavenging for food like beggars to cultivate. Even if they get this plan, how many experts can they possibly produce?"

Qin Wei thought about it and agreed; he did indeed suspect the fire thief.

This is an organization born from the bottom of the human race. Its members are all from the lowest rungs of society, but they are all ambitious and think that the human race should not be treated like leeks to be harvested. The various warlords are also comprador cowards who want to overthrow everything and establish a new order.

Motivated by these individuals, they certainly wouldn't let go of any opportunity to rise to power.

However, from the perspective of return on investment, this is indeed not a rational choice.

After all, they were dirt poor, their radiation chambers were handmade, and their fuel was low-quality stuff obtained through shady means. Even basic cultivation was difficult for them. Even if they got the plan, it would just rot in their hands. There was really no need for them to take such a risk to snatch it.

"Then it can only be the Bloodsail!"

Qin Wei frowned. Compared to the Fire Thief, Blood Sail's proposal was even more unacceptable to him.

This pirate organization is riddled with internal factions and is extremely chaotic, with all sorts of races involved, especially the humans who have converted to them, who are all utterly unscrupulous.

Once they are allowed to train a large number of experts, one "city-wide fire" after another will likely emerge.

In this way, the balance is more easily broken, and the way it is broken will be incredibly bloody.

"Hey, are we going to cooperate?"

"We have no choice but to cooperate!"

Bai Heng shook his head: "You hand over the task of protecting Jiang Tai to Xiao Wei, and you handle the communication with the council. Do you know what the principles are?"

Qin Wei's expression was serious: "If there's an opportunity to destroy the plan, then destroy it!"

"very good!"

Bai Heng nodded, silently hoping that the murderer would be caught and disappear from this world with the secret.

A corner of the living room.

Bai Zhaoli: "!"

She felt her hands and feet were ice cold.

The Council of All Races is going to arrest the murderer?

Will they be able to find Jiang Lang?

As a seasoned iMo, she was particularly interested in all sorts of high-level secrets and rumors. So, it was impossible for her not to be interested in the sudden arrival of such a mysterious guest at her home today.

So when she went back upstairs, she just opened and closed the door briefly.

She then secretly took the mirror that Jiang Lang had given her and went downstairs again.

I was initially worried about being discovered.

Fortunately, Jiang Lang wasn't exaggerating; when not used in combat, the mirror's concealment effect was impeccable.

So she heard the rest of the conversation.

She was angry, confused, and terrified.

She simply couldn't understand why her beloved father would cooperate with the Council of All Races to catch the murderer, and why his first reaction to the plan wasn't to seize it and secretly develop the power of the vertical line, but to destroy it!

This is something that could truly allow the Vertical Alliance to rise to prominence!

Why not!

Why not!

Hasn't he always wanted to establish a strong and stable regime that doesn't have to depend on anyone else?

I do not understand.

Bai Zhaoli's mind went completely blank!

She was very disappointed in Bai Heng after the Seven Emotions Vine case.

But it hasn't reached the point of being completely incomprehensible.

Because she could at least understand Bai Heng's logic in doing things, since only by securing military funding could one gain a voice.

Only those who survive are qualified to propose a new order.

Even if the process was dirty, in the evaluation system of the old era, he would at least be considered a hero.

But now.

With such a formidable weapon right in front of you, why not try to seize it?

Did he cut off his own arms in exchange for the support of the Azure Vein Domain?

If they discover that the murderer is Jiang Lang, how will they treat him?

Bai Zhaoli felt completely confused.

Just then, she heard Bai Heng say something.

"Xiao Qin, you can go back now. We'll discuss this in detail tomorrow."

"yes!"

Qin Wei saluted and then quickly left.

Bai Zhaoli was startled and quickly went upstairs. Before Bai Heng came up, she quickly removed the mirror, opened the door, and yawned as if she had just come out.

She looked at Bai Heng with a puzzled expression: "Huh? Dad, are you finished talking?"

"We've finished talking!"

Bai Heng asked with a smile, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Bai Zhaoli rubbed her face: "I was a bit mentally drained from cultivation today, and I couldn't fall asleep while lying down, so I wanted to get something to nourish my spirit."

Bai Heng felt a pang of sympathy: "Then come with me. Mr. Mu just brought some nourishing tonics."

"Um!"

Bai Zhaoli nodded obediently and followed Bai Heng to the meditation room in the house.

As Bai Heng prepared the medicine, he looked gently at his daughter and asked, "Your eyes are so red, have you been crying?"

"No, no!"

Bai Zhaoli quickly waved her hand, feigning nonchalance, and said, "In the entire Yunjin, who has the ability to make your daughter cry!"

Bai Heng gave her a deep look, but didn't press for details. He just smiled domineeringly and said, "That's right! Anyone who dares to make my daughter cry, I'll make their whole family cry, once a year."

Bai Zhaoli: "————"

This is to commemorate the anniversary of the deceased's death!

If it weren't for what just happened, and if Jiang Lang weren't Mo Li, she might actually have wanted to confide in Bai Heng.

But now—

Bai Zhaoli drank the ointment prepared by Bai Heng, yawned, and stood up: "I feel much better, thank you, Dad. I'm going to sleep now!"

After saying that, she smiled sweetly at Bai Heng and went upstairs.

After going upstairs, she quickly closed the door and took her phone out of her pocket.

He pulled up his contacts and hovered his finger over Jiang Lang's name for a long time.

After struggling for a moment, she pressed it down.

The call was answered after only two beeps.

"Hello!"

"Feed————"

"Jiang Lang, pick me up from my school tomorrow at noon. I have something to tell you."

99

"Okay! I just heard you came to our lab, why didn't I see you there—"

"Beep beep beep beep!"

The phone hangs up.

Bai Zhaoli pressed her phone under her pillow, wrapped her arms around her knees, and felt an urge to cry.
