Bai Lu and Bai Fu had always been at odds. Bai Lu certainly wanted to see Bai Fu get a taste of his own medicine, but he was not pleased to learn of the cheating in the Imperial Examination. Because, this was not just about Bai Yibo; it was not just about the Bai Family Sect losing face.
It was also about it plunging the Bai Family into an almost unwinnable situation.
To rise to prominence, a family might take decades or even centuries, but a single incident is enough to drive it into decline.
"Let's go. Let's talk this over at my place." Bai Lu composed himself. The pressing matter at hand was not to settle accounts with Bai Fu, but to find a way to minimize the damage.
The family of Bai Ruozhu followed Bai Lu to his home. He summoned his sons and they gathered in the main hall to discuss the matter.
