Fury Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1944 - 1947: The Gorgeous and Unruly Baihua Palace Master

Bai Jiao, who was on video call with Bai Shiyi, froze for a moment, then exclaimed in shock, "I get it now, no wonder. That guy Bianyi, right after he finished talking with the Qingyun Sword Pavilion people and fully took over all Qingyun Sword Pavilion's assets and debts, immediately restarted work on the Qingyun Community, and even told Finance to provide interest‑free loans to the Qingyun Sword Hall people. So this was what he had in mind!"Bai Shiyi laughed, his eyes bright as he said, "Shen Qiang is talented, and this Bianyi isn't bad either. Give them houses for free, then lend them money to decorate and renovate. That way, once they've got a stable place to live, they'll naturally develop a stable sense of belonging."

"Not only that, in the entire Cultivation World, there are almost no Sects that can out‑earn Heshenghe. Once the Qingyun Sword Pavilion people get used to this lifestyle where clothes and food just fall into their laps, and after they've been out of business for a long time, when they realize that once they leave Heshenghe, making money is like catching ghosts and spending money is like pouring water, then even if the old Pavilion Master of the Sword Pavilion says something, no one will listen."

Hearing this, Bai Jiao was stunned for a full five seconds before saying, "Dad, you really think so?"

"Trust me, no one gives up their own interests just because of what someone else says," Bai Shiyi said. "Take you for example, think about it seriously. If right now you had a perfectly ideal job—close to home, easy work, high pay, living a great life—under those circumstances, would you throw it all away just because someone said a few words, and go wave a blade and a sword around to fight your boss with him?"

Bai Jiao burst out laughing. "Of course not, I'm not stupid. You'd have to be seriously brain‑damaged to do something like that."

"So, this Bianyi is a talented one." Bai Shiyi smiled and said, "Shen Qiang trusting him is not without reason. So as for those matters concerning Heshenghe Group, just sit back and watch, don't point fingers. Otherwise, not only will you mess things up, you'll stir up trouble out of nowhere."

"Got it!" Bai Jiao raised an eyebrow and said, "Not talking to you anymore."

"Hey! Wait, when are you coming home?" Bai Shiyi quickly called out.

But as soon as the words left his mouth, Bai Jiao had already gone offline.

This made Bai Shiyi frown, yet he was helpless about it.

Just then, a Bai Family attendant walked in, respectfully handed over an invitation, and said, "Family Head, the Medicine King Valley Master is holding a celebration banquet and invites you to arrive at the banquet hall at six this evening."

Bai Shiyi laughed. "This Qin Yongquan is interesting. Whenever we participate in the Elixir Pills Conference, he's always the one arranging the food and drinks, but he's never sent an invitation before. When something's out of the ordinary there's gotta be something off, so this invitation is exactly like the smoke onstage in Journey to the West before the Demon appears."

'

The attendant froze for a moment, then said seriously, "Family Head, that can't be it, right? Qin Yongquan doesn't seem like some treacherous villain. He sent invitations this time, it must be because his daughter took the championship. That's bringing glory to the ancestors and making a huge splash; being more formal about it isn't strange."

Hearing this, Bai Shiyi laughed. "No. Qin Yongquan can't hide from me. He doesn't talk much normally, but he's meticulous and arrogant by nature. He's the kind of big shot who has no need to show off; no matter where he goes, people revere him."

"That's true. For the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley to brag about his daughter winning the championship does seem a bit too on‑the‑nose. But if it isn't about that…" The Bai Family attendant hesitated and said, "Could it be that he thinks our Bai Family's son‑in‑law has become the Medicine King, and Medicine King Valley's status is under threat, so he wants to cozy up to us?"

Looking at the attendant's serious expression, Bai Shiyi suddenly chuckled.

"You only got half right. Qin Yongquan going to the trouble of sending me such a formal invitation is indeed to build a good relationship with me, but it's not for Medicine King Valley—it's for Qin Yurou. That old fox is eighty percent worried that our Bai Jiao will bully Qin Yurou."

The attendant froze, then smacked the back of his head and said solemnly, "Family Head, you're wise. How did I not think of that!"

Bai Shiyi laughed and said, "You brat, you always say the wrong thing on purpose just to make me happy. But I know you've seen through it as well—otherwise your acting wouldn't be this convincing. So from now on, cut the performance when you're in front of me. I bring you with me everywhere because you're smart enough; keep playing dumb like this and I'll switch you out next time."

The attendant laughed and said, "Family Head, I'm just afraid of stealing your thunder. I can't not act like this in front of others."

Bai Shiyi smiled, but spoke seriously. "In a bit, prepare a few gift sets for me—good ones. One for Baihua Palace Master Weisheng Zhimei, one for Qin Yurou. The three women by Shen Qiang's side—that purple‑clothed one, Ke Bizhu, and that Ye Guyun—don't miss any of them. As for the other sets, have people send them to Heshenghe and make sure every girl in the Mountain Villa gets one, not a single one left out."

"Understood, I'll get it done right away." The attendant bowed and withdrew.

After he left, Bai Shiyi laughed.

"I just knew I didn't misjudge him."

Meanwhile, in another villa not far away, the stunningly beautiful and voluptuous Baihua Palace Master Weisheng Zhimei was wearing a red dress, holding up a few sets of ultra‑sexy lingerie against her body. Looking at those shamefully skimpy garments in the mirror, her pretty face blossomed like a peach as she secretly giggled.

"Palace Master, Medicine King Valley Master Qin Yongquan sent an invitation and a fruit basket, and also prepared some beauty‑enhancing tonics for you."

Hearing that, the Baihua Palace Master paused, then waved her hand and stowed all those shamefully sexy garments into her Storage Ring.

She turned and walked out of the room.

After taking a look at the fruit basket, the flowers, and those obviously expensive tonics, Baihua Palace Master Weisheng Zhimei suddenly laughed and said, "Offering unsolicited attentiveness—he's either up to no good or out to steal something. Qin Yongquan is usually stingy as hell, but suddenly he's so generous. Does he really think I don't know what scheme he's running in his head?"

The middle‑aged female assistant's eyes lit up, and she said in a super‑gossipy tone, "He wants to pursue the Palace Master!"

The Baihua Palace Master burst into laughter. "Of course not. Qin Yongquan being this proactive in buttering me up? He's afraid his daughter will suffer losses! After all, that girl doesn't bow to anyone. When we had that meal earlier, she wasn't polite to me at all."

The middle‑aged female assistant froze for a moment, then said, "Palace Master, do you think he's already guessed that you and Shen Qiang…"

"Tch, so what if he has?" Baihua Palace Master Weisheng Zhimei smiled, her beautiful eyes charming and playful. "Back then, when I was with Shen Qiang, I always worried that if others found out about us, they'd say he was living off a woman. Now he's the Medicine King. Even if the whole Cultivation World knows, I'm not afraid. Shen Qiang is busy and so am I; it's rare for us to run into each other here. So if he wants me to look after his daughter, he'd better wise up and stop making trouble for me."
