Chapter 54: Because I, Bai Chen, Am Here!
“Events in Seven Heroes Town?”
“There haven’t been any particularly interesting ones!”
“However, with the spread of news about immortal opportunities, martial artists are unusually active throughout the Ming territory these days.”
“Even though Seven Heroes Town is a small place, large numbers of martial artists pass through every day now.”
“In short, the town is far livelier than before!”
“Just recently, several martial artists heard about you, Young Master, and even came by specifically to pay their respects!”
“Unfortunately, you weren’t home at the time, so I had to turn them away.”
Standing before Bai Chen, the elderly steward, Li Fu, spoke in a measured and respectful tone.
Hearing this, Bai Chen pondered briefly before nodding. A faint smile crept onto his lips as he replied, “I see. You’ve handled things well as always, Fu Bo. You may carry on with your duties.”
“Yes, Young Master!” Li Fu bowed and left without hesitation.
As the loyal steward of Bai Manor, Li Fu was accustomed to Bai Chen’s occasional absences and ensured the estate remained orderly during those times.
“You’ve roamed the Jianghu before, haven’t you? Surely, you’ve met many masters and seen countless fascinating things. Seven Heroes Town, though, is a quiet, ordinary place—it could never compare to that.”
He paused, giving Bai Chen a meaningful look before adding, “Simplicity, my friend, is what makes this town special.”
Bai Chen chuckled softly. “I understand your point, Bai.”
“But let me tell you something: Do you think Seven Heroes Town will remain quiet forever?”
Bai Zhantang raised a brow but said nothing.
Bai Chen stood, his tone confident as he declared, “I say no! Seven Heroes Town won’t stay silent.
“And why, you ask?”
“Because I, Bai Chen, am here!”
Bai Zhantang shook his head, a faint smile on his lips. “Alright, Bai Chen. I’ll hold you to that bold statement.”
“You should,” Bai Chen replied with a smirk.
Still, Bai Zhantang couldn’t help but think Bai Chen’s confidence, while admirable, was slightly misplaced. He sighed inwardly. This young master talks big, he mused but said nothing aloud.
Bai Chen, for his part, stood up, ready to leave the inn.
“You’ll see, Bai Zhantang,” he said over his shoulder, “The world will come to Seven Heroes Town. Just wait and see.”
