I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 116: The layout of this room looks familiar.

Gu Heng was busy in the backyard.

He removed the signboard from the entrance of the clinic and is washing it.

Originally, it didn't need to be washed so quickly, but a few days ago, some great cultivators broke through, so it was quite unsettling, and a lot of dust settled on it.

Bai Feier and Qin Yiyao had both gone out, leaving only him, a grown man, and a cat in the clinic. Perfect timing, he could take this opportunity to give the clinic a thorough cleaning.

Gu Heng washed the plaque clean, applied some oil to make it shinier, and then placed it in the backyard to dry.

It doesn't need to be hung up yet.

Moreover, he had already made it clear today that he would be closing his doors to visitors and would no longer treat patients. After finishing all this, he went back inside to prepare for a thorough cleaning.

at this time……

Outside the clinic, white guns and white powder fell from the sky.

"No mistake, this is it! That girl stayed here for a long time, and her scent hasn't dissipated yet."

The white gun pointed at the tightly closed house in the front yard and said with certainty.

There was also a piece of paper pasted on the door that read "Closed Today".

"Oh...you can look for it yourself."

Bai Mo merely glanced at the place casually, without saying much, because he was already preoccupied.

He was on Bai Feier's side, not the Bai family's. He watched Bai Feier grow up and often took on the role of the clan leader to give her fatherly love and care. Therefore, Bai Feier was dissatisfied with the family and ran away. Bai Mo never intended to chase after her.

He felt that letting the young lady go out and make her own way in the world would have its benefits. Besides, once she'd had her fill of experience, she'd calm down a bit and would eventually come back. After all, they were family, sharing the same surname and blood; what couldn't they talk things out?

Therefore, Bai Mo did not intend to do anything along the way, and let Bai Chong do the work himself.

Want to take the girl back with you? Don't count on him.

"This place...is nothing special."

Bai Chong looked around and found that there was no trace of cultivators here, whether strong or weak. It was obvious that this place was inhabited only by mortals.

"Hmph, she's clever enough to hide her identity and stay at a mortal's house, so that it's not easy for her to be exposed."

Bai Chong figured it out immediately.

Bai Feier disappeared from her family overnight.

She was clever; she knew that if she was going to run away, she absolutely wouldn't take anything her family had given her, as that might allow them to track her. However, Bai Feier somehow acquired two more spatial rings, gifts from who-knows-who, along with the Saint-grade sword she carried!

The clan had asked her about it, but Bai Feier just wouldn't answer. If they got annoyed by the questions, she would even get angry and throw a tantrum.

But she certainly didn't expect that the Bai family's treasure vault contained valuable items that were only brought out when necessary. At least they had no shortage of tracking treasures, yet they still managed to find their way here.

"What do you want?"

Bai Mo squinted.

"Well? The young lady has never left so much trace of her presence in one place before. In my opinion, she probably feels safe now, so she's not planning to continue running!"

Bai Chong stroked his beard, looking confident and composed.

The two of them chased each other all the way from Baidi Prefecture to Kuyun Prefecture. Along the way, Bai Chong could only track a few traces of her presence, and they almost lost the trail. This shows how vigilant Bai Feier was. Even when she was tired from traveling and had to stop to rest, she didn't stay for long, only a few hours.

But the lingering scent is so strong here, it's obvious that Bai Feier has been staying here for several days!

Given her personality, the fact that she dared to stay for so many days can only mean that she felt safe!

She believed that the Bai family could not possibly find their way here!

“Let’s go straight in and ask the owner of this house if it’s the young lady who plans to stay here for a long time.”

White Cannon's idea was simple and direct.

"What if it is?"

Bai Mo looked at him.

"If so, then wait here. When she returns, we'll take her down!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo even considered beating the white gunner unconscious.

But while he could dream about it, he lacked the ability to actually do it.

"Oh, miss, you still haven't run far enough..."

Bai Mo sighed inwardly. He had hoped that Bai Feier would run further away so that the Bai family would have a harder time finding her. But he never expected that she would think everything would be fine once she got here and would just settle down in Yunling City.

Still too young!

"Get out of the way, I'm opening the door!"

His spiritual sense had just swept across the area, and apart from a mortal and a stray cat, there was no one else.

With that, Bai Chong waved his hand, gathering a burst of energy in his palm. He intended to blast open the tightly closed front gate!

"What are you in a hurry for?"

But Bai Mo glared at him and slapped his hand away.

"?" Bai Chong glanced at Bai Mo with a cold face, seemingly waiting for the latter to give an explanation.

"Have you forgotten what the chieftain told us?"

Bai Mo reminded him in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Bai Chong withdrew his hand in displeasure.

He certainly hadn't forgotten "the patriarch's instructions."

Clan Chief Bai Qianshan did not want the outside world to know that his daughter had broken ties with the family, so he sent some clan elders out with tracking treasures to investigate discreetly.

Otherwise, finding Bai Feier would be very simple; just spread the bounty notices throughout the entire Sunflame Dynasty, and within three hours, news of Bai Feier's whereabouts would be everywhere.

But this is only a last resort.

Nowadays, keeping family scandals private is still the top priority.

"This whole area belongs to the Nianling Sect. If we make a move here rashly, they'll definitely know. How will we explain that then?"

Bai Mo stared at the white gun and asked.

The white gun remained silent.

We definitely can't tell the Nianling Sect that "this family is secretly keeping our Bai family's eldest daughter." They'll know there's something wrong as soon as they hear that, and then rumors will spread everywhere. Eventually, the Bai family's "discord between father and daughter" will be impossible to hide.

The Bai family's reputation is already starting to crumble because of the "cheap sale" of Bai Feier and the subsequent broken engagement.

Here's another joke about a father and daughter not getting along...

"Then what do you want to do?"

White Cannon asked.

"Just ask directly, there's no need to resort to violence."

Bai Mo stepped forward and politely knocked on the door.

But no one responded.

"You're so stupid. This is just a mortal's dwelling. You're an elder of the Bai family, why are you so cautious about mortals?"

"Once we get the information, we can prevent this family from spreading it carelessly, and that'll be enough, won't it?"

Bai Chong couldn't stand it any longer. He pushed the door open with his big hand, and the lock broke off.

Bai Mo had no choice but to follow him inside.

From the outside, it wasn't obvious, but once inside, they could tell it was a clinic. The two of them stood in the front hall of the clinic, but the owner wasn't there.

"The owner of the clinic is on the second floor."

The scent of the white gun was clearly detected.

However, Bai Mo looked around the place with great interest.

Why does the layout of the front hall seem a little familiar?
