"Hey, what are you doing!"

Qiao Yu had no idea about his dear old dad's glorious past. He was kicked for no apparent reason and looked utterly bewildered.

"Turn your head away. I want to kick you every time I see you!"

Bai Shiyan's face turned pale with rage at the mere thought of Qiao Anqing. Bai Shiyan had never suffered such humiliation in his life!

And he still hadn't found a chance to beat Qiao Anqing to a pulp.

By the time he recovered his strength, Qiao Anqing had already disappeared with his sister for over a decade.

Since he couldn't beat Qiao Anqing, he could only vent his anger by kicking Qiao Anqing's son a few times.

"Qiao Anqing, I don't care if you're hiding and afraid to come out, or if you're already dead. The son must pay for his father's debts. Since you're acting like a coward and don't dare to show your face, I'll make your son recognize a new ancestor!" Bai Shiyan muttered to himself.

Bai Shiyan dragged Qiao Yu along like a little piglet.

The magnificent and vast silent starry sky made Qiao Yu feel a sense of dizziness and longing.

Only by seeing it with his own eyes could he truly feel how beautiful and magical this starry sky was.

After flying for an unknown distance, Bai Shiyan took Qiao Yu into a brand-new star system.

This star system had countless fireballs sliding like meteors.

At first, Qiao Yu thought it was some kind of astronomical spectacle, but when he opened his ghostly eyes and looked closely, he realized that each of those fire meteors contained a person!

This wasn't some kind of fire meteor; it was clearly a group of powerhouses moving at high speed!

Seemingly sensing Qiao Yu's shock, Bai Shiyan said indifferently.

"Once your strength reaches the demigod realm, you'll have the ability to break free from a planet's gravity and travel through the starry sky. When you reach the demigod realm, you can do it too."

Qiao Yu couldn't help but shrink his pupils.

There were at least a hundred of these fire meteors darting around in the starry sky.

A hundred demigod-level experts?

Was this the strength of the Bai family?

Then even if the Xing family was weaker than the Bai family, it probably wouldn't be much weaker.

A trace of worry couldn't help but appear in Qiao Yu's eyes. If the seal was really broken, Kaiji Star would be in real danger.

He hoped that Professor Shen and the others could leave through the Void Gate as soon as possible.

As the two traveled, many powerhouses in this star system recognized Bai Shiyan.

"That seems to be young master Bai Shiyan, who disappeared twenty years ago! He's still alive!"

"I heard that young master Bai Shiyan contacted the family some time ago, saying that he would be back soon. I didn't expect it to be true."

"I just sensed it. His strength is only at the demigod realm! He was at the demigod realm when he left twenty years ago, and he's still at the demigod realm. It seems that he hasn't made any progress in the past twenty years!"

"Hehe, it seems that it's time for him to give up his title as the number one genius of the Bai family."

"Even his father, the Bai family patriarch, has been removed from his position. Does it still matter whether he's the number one genius?"

"But where's Bai Shi Xia? And how did he bring back a young man? Could this be his illegitimate son from outside?"

Everyone had different expressions, some surprised, some admiring, some disdainful, but no one dared to step forward to stop Bai Shiyan.

Bai Shiyan ignored these people's discussions about him and just went on his way.

Soon, they arrived at a core area of this star system.

And in the core area, there was only one huge water-green planet.

The size of this planet looked much larger than Kaiji Star. Bai Shiyan took Qiao Yu directly to this planet.

The two appeared in front of a tall, antique mansion. On the mansion was a plaque with the words Bai Family written in a vigorous and elegant style!

This was one of the most powerful family forces in the ninth universe, the Bai family.

At this time, in front of the Bai family, an old man with white hair and beard was standing in front of the door waiting.

The moment he saw Bai Shiyan, the old man's straight body couldn't help but tremble, his lips quivering, but he couldn't utter a word.

Bai Shiyan knelt in front of the old man with a thud, his body kneeling straight in front of the old man.

"Father! Your son is unfilial! I failed to protect my younger sister and have not returned for twenty years. Please punish me, Father!"

"Enough... It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

Bai Xinweng opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he couldn't open his mouth.

Previously, Bai Shiyan had already told Bai Xinweng about what happened on Kaiji Star through Bai Jianlin.

He hadn't seen him for twenty years, and he thought the father and son would have a lot to say.

But when he was really face-to-face, Bai Xinweng realized that there didn't seem to be anything to say.

As long as he was safe and sound.

"Is he Shi Xia's child?"

There was some mist in Bai Xinweng's old eyes, and he tremblingly stretched out his calloused hand to touch Qiao Yu's face.

"Child, come here, let me take a good look at you."

Qiao Yu hesitated a little. He could clearly feel that the old man in front of him had no malice towards him.

Vaguely, he could also feel a sense of intimacy from the other person, so Qiao Yu didn't dodge.

Bai Xinweng's hand gently stroked Qiao Yu's face, and the rough calluses on his palm made Qiao Yu feel a little pain.

At this time, Bai Xinweng's tears could no longer be restrained and burst out of his eyes.

At this moment, Bai Xinweng was no longer the patriarch of the Bai family who had once dominated the world. At this time, he was just an old man who hadn't seen his child for twenty years.

"He's like her, so much like her. You inherited your mother's appearance. That's a good thing."

Bai Xinweng realized that he had lost his composure and quickly adjusted his emotions.

Bai Xinweng swallowed and asked Qiao Yu a little cautiously.

"Child, can I hear you call me Grandpa?"

"..."

Qiao Yu pursed his lips, but didn't open his mouth.

He could clearly feel the kindness that Bai Xinweng was showing him.

But he was no longer a child. When he was growing up, there was never a Grandpa figure in his childhood.

Now, suddenly someone popped up and asked him to call him Grandpa. It was really difficult for Qiao Yu to sincerely say those two words for a while.

"I'm sorry... I don't think I can do it for the time being." Qiao Yu showed a wry smile.

Maybe he could act and pretend to be that way, but he really didn't want to deceive this old man.

When Bai Xinweng heard this, his eyes also dimmed a little, as if a ray of light had been extinguished.

When Bai Shiyan saw this, he was instantly unhappy. He slapped the back of Qiao Yu's head with a snap.

"I told you to call him, so call him! Why are you talking so much nonsense!"

Qiao Yu grinned in pain. He was just about to burst into a scolding, but he saw Bai Xinweng kick Bai Shiyan's butt like an enraged old lion.

"You brat! This child has just returned to the Bai family. Isn't it normal that he can't accept it for a while? If you dare to lay a hand on him again, I'll kill you, you little bastard!"

Bai Shiyan's face was as black as a rag, but he didn't dare to say a word.

He suddenly regretted bringing Qiao Yu back to the Bai family.

And Qiao Yu's eyes lit up instantly. This old man Bai Xinweng was a good guy. He really beat his son.

Seeing Bai Shiyan being kicked, Qiao Yu felt sweeter than honey in his heart.

Bai Xinweng snorted coldly, then pulled Qiao Yu and walked towards the Bai family.

"Good child, don't pay attention to your uncle. If you can't call me Grandpa, you can call me Uncle Weng for now."

"From now on, you can treat this place as your home. Don't be afraid of strangers. Let's go, I'll take you to the ancestral hall to recognize your ancestors!"

Bai Xinweng took Qiao Yu to the Bai family's ancestral hall, where the spirit tablets of the Bai family's ancestors were placed.

Bai Xinweng was just about to pull Qiao Yu in when a teasing voice rang out behind them.

"Hold on!"

"The family rules are written clearly. My Bai family's ancestral hall has never allowed some riffraff to enter. Bai Xinweng, you're not so senile that you've forgotten, right?"
