Chapter 729: Chapter 729: Bai Tangyuan Was Kidnapped!

Bai Tangyuan said that Shen Huan believed the online rumors, not that he, Bai Tangyuan, was Shi Yaoguang’s son.

Instead...

There were rumors about a man being served by two women.

According to the rules of ancient times, wasn’t there a distinction between a wife and a concubine?

Whether she was the wife or the concubine,

any child born to a woman in this family had to call the wife "mother."

That is, the current mom.

Bai Tangyuan looked at Shen Huan speechlessly, "Shen Huan, aren’t you being a bit too imaginative?"

"Then tell me quietly, what’s your relationship with Quan Jinbei?"

Bai Tangyuan snorted lightly, "What kind of relationship could we possibly have?"

Shen Huan’s heart instantly tensed up, "You couldn’t really be his illegitimate child, could you?"

Hearing this, the little guy rolled his eyes, "Shen Huan, are you serious? Are you here to be a utility person or to hold us back?"

"Of course I am..." Shen Huan was about to say he had come to be a utility person, but then he thought better of it, he hadn’t come to be a utility person!

Of course, he hadn’t come to hold anyone back either.

He just wanted to take advantage of a free class.

Bai Tangyuan pursed his lips, "You were once my aunt’s little sidekick, how can you not understand her at all? How could my aunt possibly serve a man with another woman?"

"Then what’s the deal with you and your mom?" Shen Huan was still doubtful.

Though much of the news online was false, there’s no smoke without fire.

Who knows, maybe there really was something fishy between Bai Tangyuan and Bai Ruoxi.

Seeing his expression, Bai Tangyuan knew he was thinking about something strange again and said speechlessly, "Can’t you think positively?"

"I can’t," Shen Huan answered bluntly.

He would like to think positively, but Bai Tangyuan’s appearance, at first glance, seemed to contain some secrets.

He naturally had to ponder it more.

To this, Bai Tangyuan was even more speechless.

"I just resemble Uncle Quan, that’s all!"

Shen Huan: "You also have a paternity test."

"What about it? Do you believe that if you and I were to take a paternity test, it could show a father-son relationship too?"

Shen Huan: "Impossible!"

He pointed to himself, then to Bai Tangyuan, "We don’t look alike at all!"

"Who says father and son have to look alike? Maybe it’s a case of skipping a generation," Bai Tangyuan retorted.

Shen Huan was at a loss for words, "Kid, skipped-generation traits don’t work like that either, you’ll understand when you grow up and learn about biology."

Bai Tangyuan snorted, "I know what you’re talking about, but what I’m saying isn’t wrong either. Ah, you don’t understand now, but one day you will."

"Really?" Shen Huan was still somewhat skeptical.

This little guy was so certain, could it be that he really had no relation to Quan Jinbei?

"Of course it’s true."

After saying that, Bai Tangyuan beckoned him with a crooked finger.

Shen Huan bent down to listen to the secret he was about to share.

Bai Tangyuan lowered his voice to a whisper and muttered for a while before patting his shoulder, asking if he had understood.

Shen Huan felt a bit bewildered. He looked at Bai Tangyuan with suspicion, "Are you sure you’re only six years old?"

"Otherwise?" Bai Tangyuan huffed, "As a highly informed intellectual who has studied biology, you surely can tell the difference between a pure child and a dwarf, right?"

Shen Huan: "..."

He was suddenly even more suspicious that Bai Tangyuan was Quan Jinbei’s son.

This grudge-holding trait was exactly the same!

Of course, he complained about it in his mind.

Directly pointing it out, though, was another matter.

He was afraid of incurring Bai Tangyuan’s grudge.

Thinking about it, he felt a bit disheartened.

He was about to be exploited by Bai Tangyuan, and he didn’t even dare to resist.

He was completely cowed.

Looking back at the first half of his life, he wasn’t a cowardly person at all.

Ever since he met Shi Yaoguang, it really seemed like even his personality had changed.

Shen Huan grumbled about Shi Yaoguang in his heart but didn’t dare to delay the task at hand for a moment.

Right away, he did exactly as Bai Tangyuan had instructed, completing the tasks that needed to be done.

After waiting for Shen Huan to leave, Bai Tangyuan finally returned to the villa.

"It’s all done!" The little guy said, looking at Shi Yaoguang as if seeking praise, "Auntie, aren’t I amazing?"

Shi Yaoguang spared no praise, "Amazing."

The little guy grinned, "Since Auntie also thinks I’m amazing, can I perhaps have a tiny bit..."

As he spoke, he gestured a teeny tiny amount with his fingers, "I don’t want a lot, I just want a teensy bit, just a teensy teensy bit of reward!"

Shi Yaoguang looked at him with a smile on her face, "Then tell me, what is this teensy bit of reward you want?"

"Ehehe..."

The little guy scratched his head, embarrassedly saying, "I don’t want lots and lots of rewards, I just want you to give me an opportunity."

"Opportunity?" Shi Yaoguang was intrigued, "What kind of opportunity do you want me to give you?"

"I... I also want to join the Yaoguang Sect~" Bai Tangyuan said coyly, "But right now there are no openings to the public, and I don’t have the chance to try. Who knows, maybe I also have talent!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yaoguang didn’t see it as a problem.

Indeed, the Yaoguang Sect was not open to the public for recruitment.

This was also to prevent an increase in the number of cultivators from impacting the world’s natural order.

Her allowing people to cultivate wasn’t intended to change the framework of the world.

What she wanted to do was merely to protect.

As for expanding the sect...

Her family had no throne to inherit, so what was there to expand?

As long as she could fulfill her duty to protect the world, that was enough for her, and she didn’t yearn for more.

Learning about Shi Yaoguang’s thoughts, Bai Tangyuan very much agreed.

He became even more determined to join the Yaoguang Sect.

Shi Yaoguang thought highly of him, but she had no plans to give him any special treatment.

She gave him the opportunity; whether he could enter the Yaoguang Sect would depend on his own abilities.

Bai Tangyuan was confident in himself; as long as he was given a chance to test, he would surely be able to join!

...

The online buzz about Bai Tangyuan being Quan Jinbei’s illegitimate child was rampant.

But the relationship between Bai Tangyuan and Shi Yaoguang was exceptionally good.

This infuriated those who were stirring trouble in the shadows.

Shi Yaoguang had smashed their rice bowls, so why should she still be able to live so leisurely?

No.

It was more than leisurely.

Her life was so good that it sparked jealousy!

Jealousy makes one irrationally hostile.

Seeing Shi Yaoguang unaffected by the outside world, enjoying life daily, those lurking in the background finally couldn’t sit still.

One day, seizing the opportunity when Shi Yaoguang was out, they sneaked into the villa and kidnapped Bai Tangyuan.

Yes.

You heard that right.

Bai Tangyuan was kidnapped!

Shi Yaoguang was stunned when she received the news.

Did the people who bribed the marketing accounts have a screw loose?

If they had to kidnap someone, kidnapping her would make more sense than kidnapping Bai Tangyuan, right?
