Truthfully, ever since entering prison.
Bai Sulan's agitation had quieted down. With the stillness came constant reflection.
What Ye Cangtian had said made a lot of sense.
One rotten fish spoiled the whole pot!
If it hadn't been for her obsessive desire for revenge, she wouldn't have ended up like this, nor would the Bai family have fallen out with the Dongfang family.
Realizing this, her hatred for Ye Cangtian had lessened considerably, and she let go of her obsession.
"It's too late!"
"Let me tell you, the family head will act tonight, and in no more than two days, Ye Cangtian's death notice will arrive."
"As for the conflicts within the Dongfang family, with things escalating to this point, do you think there's any room for compromise?"
Bai Yuanhang said grimly.
He didn't know what Bai Sulan had experienced in prison, but he knew that it was all too late.
Whether the path ahead was thorny or smooth, the Bai family could only press on.
So, he wanted to tell Bai Sulan not to harbor any more futile fantasies.
"This..."
Bai Sulan's body trembled instantly, her eyes gradually moistening, shedding tears of regret.
The Bai family had fallen to such a state, and it was all her fault. She was truly a sinner for the ages of the Bai family!
*Creak!*
Just then, the sound of a door opening could be heard.
Father and daughter immediately stopped their conversation and looked towards the prison door together.
"Visiting hours aren't over yet, why are you coming in!"
Bai Yuanhang said in a deep voice, assuming it was a jailer.
But as soon as the words left his mouth, he saw two familiar figures and was stunned on the spot.
One was Ye Cangtian, whom he longed to kill day and night, and the other was the Bai family head, Bai Zhenshan.
The fact that they came together shattered his understanding.
The next moment, an excited smile appeared on Bai Yuanhang's face, and he quickly went to greet them.
"Family Head, you've cooperated?"
"Are you here to visit Bai Sulan?"
Bai Yuanhang asked excitedly.
Although not much time had passed since Bai Zhenshan's action, if everything went smoothly, the confidential documents could still be handed over to Ye Cangtian.
The two had reached an agreement beforehand, and once Ye Cangtian received the confidential documents, he would naturally cooperate with the Bai family.
As for coming here, in his view, it was likely that Ye Cangtian had a change of heart and felt he had wronged Bai Sulan, hence the visit.
However, Bai Yuanhang couldn't figure out why they came so openly. Weren't they afraid of being discovered by Dongfang Mingyue?
But at this moment, he didn't overthink it. Since Bai Zhenshan dared to bring Ye Cangtian, he must have a way to resolve any trouble.
*Slap!*
As Bai Yuanhang's voice fell, Bai Zhenshan raised his large hand and, without warning, slapped Bai Yuanhang heavily across the face.
Bai Yuanhang staggered, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, his mind in a daze.
"The Bai family is ruined by a fool like you!"
Bai Zhenshan gritted his teeth and reprimanded him.
If it weren't for Bai Yuanhang's stupid idea, why would he have risked himself and fallen into the trap set by Ye Cangtian and Dongfang Mingyue!
"Wh... What do you mean?"
Bai Yuanhang looked at Bai Zhenshan blankly, completely unaware of what he was talking about.
To say he ruined the Bai family, what was he even talking about?
Bai Sulan in the prison also looked strange. She knew Bai Yuanhang must have made the suggestion, but Bai Yuanhang had been so confident before, he should have had absolute certainty!
How did it turn out like this?
"Damn it! I've been arrested, and you still don't understand!"
Bai Zhenshan was so angry he almost vomited blood. The situation was so clear, yet Bai Yuanhang still didn't grasp it.
He truly regretted it! How could he have listened to this fool!
"Arrested... arrested?"
"The plan failed?"
With a single sentence, Bai Yuanhang's mind boomed, unable to accept it.
How could his plan have failed?
How could Bai Zhenshan not get the absolute secrets? Hadn't they already captured Leng Xuefeng's wife?
What on earth had happened?
*Hmph!*
However, Bai Zhenshan did not answer him. With a cold snort, he walked past him, not wanting to speak to this fool any further.
Ye Cangtian, however, stopped beside Bai Yuanhang and said lightly, "So it was all your plan! Congratulations, you've successfully buried everything the Bai family had!"
"Clarify what you mean!" Bai Yuanhang roared at Ye Cangtian angrily.
"Ever heard of 'turning the tables'?"
"If you really don't understand, then go back and check a dictionary!"
"I'm busy, I have to send him back and then go to sleep!"
Ye Cangtian glanced at Bai Yuanhang, gave a contemptuous smile, and then ignored him.
He directly walked forward, opened the door of a cell, and put Bai Zhenshan inside.
*Thump!*
With the phrase "turning the tables," Bai Yuanhang understood everything. His legs immediately went weak, and he knelt on the ground.
"Ye Cangtian, I want your life!"
With a mournful roar to the heavens, Bai Yuanhang instantly charged at Ye Cangtian.
Even though he knew he was no match for Ye Cangtian, he still attacked with all his might, his mind filled with a resolve to die.
The Bai family had fallen because of him, he could not accept this fact, and felt ashamed to face the ancestors of the Bai family. Now, he only hoped to take Ye Cangtian with him in death.
"Father!"
Bai Sulan cried out loudly. She knew Ye Cangtian's strength well. How could her father's surprise attack be spared by the other party?
"Stubborn fool!"
A deep voice sounded. Ye Cangtian reacted extremely quickly, dodged the attack with a sidestep, and then slammed a palm directly into Bai Yuanhang's chest.
*Puff!*
Blood splattered through the air. Bai Yuanhang was sent flying backward, falling heavily to the ground.
His face was deathly pale, and he failed to stand up after several attempts.
With this palm strike, Ye Cangtian had gravely injured him, causing varying degrees of damage to his internal organs and meridians.
"Ye Cangtian, please show mercy!"
"I was wrong, it was all my fault!"
"I will never seek revenge against you again, please spare my father..."
Bai Sulan in the cell, seeing her father's tragic state, burst into tears and wailed loudly.
She couldn't just watch her father die in front of her.
"Hmph! If I wanted to kill him, that palm strike just now would have been enough!"
Ye Cangtian glanced at Bai Sulan and said coldly.
This was not an idle statement. He had already one foot into the Earth-level realm. If he had unleashed his full power, Bai Yuanhang truly wouldn't have been able to withstand it.
Hearing this, Bai Sulan breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that Ye Cangtian had no intention of killing him; she dared not hope for anything more.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian slowly walked to Bai Yuanhang's side and bent down.
"Between you and me, there isn't such deep hatred that it must end in death. Don't let hatred cloud your judgment."
"I've said the same words to Bai Sulan. Because of you, the Bai family has fallen into such a state. Even if you succeed in killing me, do you think it's worth it?"
"Reflect well on your future path, and how to restore the Bai family's glory!"
Ye Cangtian said calmly. Although these words were spoken to Bai Yuanhang, they were also for Bai Zhenshan to hear.
Neither he nor Dongfang Mingyue intended to destroy the Bai family.
But continuing to split the hidden group and stand against the Dongfang family was absolutely unacceptable.
The Bai family? Did the Bai family still have hope?
Listening to Ye Cangtian's words, Bai Yuanhang and Bai Zhenshan both trembled. Their once ashen faces now showed a flicker of vitality.
They heard a glimmer of hope in his words...
