Chapter 829
An Yuan City, the Bai Family's Main Branch Expert! 1. Stand aside.
"Are we going back to Anyuan City?"
Kong Ruobing immediately followed up, saying, "Perfect timing. I haven't officially stepped down from my position as head of the Ice Chamber yet. Let's bring Zhao Xingqiu along and give her the head position. She has a water-type spiritual root, so she won't be able to improve if she stays in our Ice Spirit Sect. It would be more comfortable for her to go back to Anyuan City."
"good."
As Zhang Lingshan spoke, he set up the flying magic weapon that Ji Buyi had given him.
Next, they went to Kong Ruobing's mountain peak to pick up Zhao Xingqiu. Just like when they came before, they let Zhao Xingqiu pilot the spaceship. After all, she had piloted it before and knew the way well.
"Ice Fairy, Zhang... Holy Son..."
Zhao Xingqiu looked at the two of them with a complicated expression, not knowing how to address them for a moment.
Since the Holy Son's coronation ceremony ended, Lady Ice Fairy has not returned, leaving Zhao Xingqiu alone on the desolate peak, which is truly too lonely.
Has Lady Ice Fairy forgotten Zhao Xingqiu?
We finally got to see Lady Ice Fairy, but then Zhang Lingshan came along too, and the two of them even arrived in a spaceship. What are they up to?
"Manager Qiu, how have you been?"
Zhang Lingshan smiled faintly and said, "Pack your things, we're getting ready to head to Anyuan City. Ruobing said she's going to pass the position of head of the Anyuan City Ice Chamber to you, aren't you pleasantly surprised and happy?"
"what?"
Zhao Xingqiu was completely stunned.
This isn't a surprise, it's a shock!
"Lord Ice Fairy, you...you don't want me anymore? I swear to follow you to the death."
Zhao Xingqiu hurriedly called out.
Kong Ruobing said, "Our Ice Spirit Sect cultivates ice-based techniques. Although there are some who cultivate water-based techniques, it's not suitable to cultivate within the Ice Spirit Sect, so they are basically sent out. We should have sent you out a long time ago, but my husband and I were busy cultivating and forgot for a while. But it's not too late now. Go back to Anyuan City; it's more suitable for you there."
"I……"
Zhao Xingqiu was quite unwilling. She believed that she had always followed Lord Bingxian, not the Ice Chamber of Anyuan City. Now that Lord Bingxian didn't want her anymore, she wanted her to be the head of the Ice Chamber.
Without Lady Ice Fairy, what use is this Ice Chamber Master to me?
However, no matter how unwilling Zhao Xingqiu was, her opinion didn't matter.
Moreover, her cultivation efficiency at the Ice Spirit Sect was indeed not high, and as a water-type spiritual root, she shouldn't have stayed here.
Besides, Lady Bingxian is already married, why would she want to be a third wheel?
then.
Zhao Xingqiu had no choice but to obediently board the spaceship and begin piloting it towards Anyuan City.
……
Anyuan City, Bai Family.
The head of the family, Bai Changdu, was receiving guests.
The guest was Tao Mingguan from the Tao family, who had returned from Jinxiange, and had come to the Bai family to formally propose marriage.
Accompanying Tao Mingguan was his friend, Bai Lang, a direct disciple of the Ice Spirit Sect!
It is said that this Bai Lang is from the main branch of the Bai family. He is exceptionally talented and possesses an ice-type spiritual root. He was specially sent to the Ice Spirit Sect to cultivate. Now he has already broken through to become a Golden Immortal in the Golden Immortal Pavilion. He is known as having the potential to be a prodigy. He will definitely have a place in the next Ice Spirit Sect's prodigy assessment. His future is limitless.
Such a top figure actually deigned to descend upon their Bai family. Even though Bai Changdu disliked Tao Mingguan, he dared not be negligent in the slightest at this moment.
Bai Lang was invited by Tao Mingguan to help the Bai family select geniuses. Those who caught his eye would be given a letter allowing them to go to the Bai family's main campus to cultivate.
This is an incredible opportunity, and Bai Changdu cannot afford to take it lightly.
After all, if you miss this opportunity, you might never get another chance.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Although he didn't know how Tao Mingguan had managed to invite this powerful figure over, now was not the time to dwell on that.
The most important thing is to serve this great deity well!
Otherwise, if someone were to say a word to the Bai family, the Bai family of Anyuan City would be finished.
"Uncle Lang, we were so surprised and unprepared for your arrival, we really didn't..."
Bai Changdu said nervously.
If we're talking about specific generational rankings, Bai Changdu couldn't help but call him "Second Uncle," since this "Little Uncle" title would be considered a generational shift.
However, Bai Lang didn't care about the title and waved his hand, saying, "No need to be so polite. I came here because of Brother Tao Mingguan, to see if your Bai family has any promising young talents. Enough with the nonsense, just call them out so I can see them."
Tao Mingguan chimed in, "Yes, Uncle Bai, Brother Bai Lang has limited time and can't linger here. He still has to go back to the Ice Spirit Sect to compete for a spot as a prodigy. He's already given us a lot of face by taking time out of his busy schedule to come here. If you don't hurry up, you might never have another chance like this."
"Yes, yes, my dear nephew is right."
Bai Changdu dared not waste any more words and immediately ordered people to summon all the younger generation of his family so that Bai Lang, this prodigy, could have a look.
Being chosen by Bai Lang is an incredible stroke of luck, promising a bright future.
Therefore, no one should miss this opportunity; everyone must come and seize this once-in-a-lifetime chance.
A moment later.
The younger generation of the Bai family rushed over excitedly, eager to get a comment from Bai Lang.
but.
Bai Lang merely glanced at them casually and snorted, "What a bunch of ugly hags! You've all ruined the Bai family's bloodline!"
Everyone's expression changed, some turning pale and dejected, others flushed with anger, but none dared to speak out.
Although Bai Changdu was also burning with anger, he still smiled and said, "Uncle Lang, you haven't looked closely yet. Although we don't have ice-type spiritual roots like yours here, we do have heavenly spiritual roots, so they shouldn't be too bad, right?"
"Terrible! Utterly terrible! Is that all? If that's all, I don't think we need to waste any more time."
Bai Lang jumped to his feet.
"Wait a minute."
A young man in purple robes strode in from outside the door and said, "Father, I'm late. I just received the news and rushed over immediately."
"It's Feng'er."
Bai Changdu's face lit up with joy.
The newcomer was none other than Bai Lingfeng, the second young master of the Bai family. He possessed a fire-type celestial spiritual root and his strength was extraordinary. Breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm was just around the corner.
He is considered the most outstanding heir of the Bai family.
As expected, Bai Lang's eyes lit up immediately after looking at Bai Lingfeng, and he said, "Not bad. It seems that not everyone here is a waste. Then I will write a letter and get you a Golden Immortal spot. I think you can go directly to the Golden Immortal Pavilion to break through to the Golden Immortal realm. There is no need to waste time outside anymore."
Bai Changdu was overjoyed.
The Golden Immortal slots for the Bai family all flowed out from the main branch of the Bai family. In the past, they had to personally report and apply for them. Unexpectedly, this time they could get them directly from Bai Lang.
What a surprise.
It seems our family will soon have another Golden Immortal expert. What a joyous occasion!
Little did he know, these were all obtained by Tao Mingguan using spirit stones.
If Tao Mingguan hadn't been willing to pay, even if he had met Bai Lang at the Golden Immortal Pavilion, Bai Lang wouldn't have come to help him save face for no reason.
Inviting Bai Lang to support Bai Lingfeng was something he and Bai Lingfeng had planned together.
In short, everything was for Bai Wanxi.
At this moment, Tao Mingguan revealed his true intentions, saying, "Uncle Bai, why didn't Wanxi come? I think her talent is quite good. Doesn't she want to try for a chance to cultivate at the Bai family's main branch?"
"Ok?"
Before Bai Changdu could speak, Bai Lang frowned and snorted, "What do you mean? There are still people who aren't coming. Are you looking down on our Bai family? How dare you! Since you look down on us, then you don't need this Golden Immortal spot."
"No!" Bai Changdu was startled and hurriedly said, "My daughter caught a cold, and she is not very talented, so she didn't come. It's not that she looks down on our family. It's just that she is not capable enough and gave up on her own."
"Stop giving me that nonsense. Whether someone has talent or not isn't for you to decide; I'll decide for sure after I see it!"
Bai Lang snorted coldly.
He takes people's money and is obligated to solve their problems; he is a man of principle and would never run away without accomplishing his task.
Upon hearing this, Bai Changdu felt helpless. He had done everything he could for his daughter, blocking Tao Mingguan countless times.
But today, there's really no way to stop it. Tao Mingguan has invited Bai Lang, a genius from his own clan. What can Bai Changdu do?
and so.
Just accept your fate.
"Go and call Xiaoxi here."
Bai Changdu gave an instruction to one of his servants.
"Yes."
The servants immediately spurred their horses and galloped away.
A moment later.
Bai Wanxi walked over looking haggard and said, "Father, I am not feeling well and have not come to pay my respects to the elders of our family. It is my fault, and I ask the elders of our family to punish me."
She looked at the only stranger in the room and bowed in greeting.
Bai Lang glanced at him, his eyes brightening slightly. He thought to himself, "No wonder Tao Mingguan went to such lengths to get this woman; he certainly has some unique skills."
This woman appears delicate, but she is neither humble nor arrogant in front of me. Moreover, she dares to secretly hide away and not come out to see anyone, which shows that she is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. She is a person with her own opinions, and it is quite interesting to conquer her.
pity.
His talent is average, and he doesn't have much of a future.
If that's the case, then following Tao Mingguan would actually be a way out. I don't know what she's unwilling about; she's truly incredibly foolish.
“You have shown disrespect to our family and should be severely punished. But for the sake of Brother Tao Mingguan, I can let it go.”
Bai Lang snorted coldly.
Bai Changdu quickly said, "Thank you for not holding a grudge, Uncle Lang. Xiao Xi, hurry up and thank Uncle Lang."
Before Bai Wanxi could thank him, Bai Lang said, "No need to thank me. I'm only doing this for Brother Tao's sake. If you displease Brother Tao, he will punish you, and you'll lose your Golden Immortal status in the future."
"This……"
Bai Changdu was furious, knowing that the other party was using this as an excuse to help Tao Mingguan capture Bai Wanxi.
Logically speaking, the time agreed upon with Tao Mingguan had not yet arrived, and Bai Wanxi had also obtained investment from Yu Feihan's family in Taiyuan City, and contacted Lei Ruo, receiving help from Lei Shuo's family in Anyuan City.
Now, the Bai family can completely do without relying on the Tao family, and they don't need to give the Tao family any face.
In other words, the agreement between him and Tao Mingguan was null and void, and the Tao family no longer had anyone who could control the Bai family.
Just when everyone thought Bai Wanxi had overcome her difficulties, Tao Mingguan took a different approach and actually found Bai Lang from his own family, using Bai Lang's family power to exert pressure.
If Bai Lang were to write a letter refusing to grant them any more Golden Immortal slots, even with the investments from the Yu and Lei families, the Bai family would be doomed sooner or later if no Golden Immortals were ever born.
Damn!
Bai Changdu cursed inwardly.
However, no matter how fiercely she cursed him in her heart, she couldn't change her fate of being controlled by Bai Lang.
"Father, this is a Golden Immortal spot. If we can't get the support of our clan in the future, we will never have a Golden Immortal and will inevitably be devoured by other forces."
Bai Lingfeng exclaimed excitedly, adding fuel to the fire and forcing Bai Changdu to agree quickly.
That's all.
He secretly gave Bai Wanxi a look that revealed his sarcasm.
Although you, Bai Wanxi, are lucky and have a capable subordinate, after going to Taiyuan City, you were fortunate enough to receive help from the Yu family of Taiyuan City and the Lei family of Anyuan City.
but.
What's the point?
In the end, they were still taken down.
Do you think you can rest easy just by relying on outsiders?
Outsiders are always outsiders; how can they be truly loyal? If you don't have the ability, how can you keep them on your side?
My foolish little sister, today your second brother will teach you a lesson.
Only what you have in your hands truly belongs to you.
And this Golden Immortal spot is going to be mine, hahaha.
If it weren't for your wonderful younger sister, who has captivated Tao Mingguan, I wouldn't have been able to secure the Golden Immortal spot ahead of time.
Second brother, I really have to thank you.
Therefore, sending you to Tao Mingguan, this genius, is our way of thanking you.
After all, with your talent, you'll never reach the Golden Immortal realm in this lifetime. You should be secretly thrilled to marry a Golden Immortal genius.
"Uncle Bai, you probably know why I've come today. I have deep feelings for Xiaoxi. For so many years, I haven't married because I've only thought about her. You know that. So, please grant us your blessing."
Tao Mingguan looked sincere and put on a very convincing act.
If Bai Changdu doesn't agree to this, then he's really disrespecting Tao Mingguan. No matter how humble Tao Mingguan is in matters of the heart, he will never give up easily.
"I……"
Bai Changdu stammered, then looked at his beloved daughter.
A pleading look in his eyes.
Seeing this, Bai Wanxi couldn't help but sigh. Knowing that her father had done his best, she could only say, "Father, this matter concerns the quota of Golden Immortals for our Bai family, and I cannot refuse."
"Xiaoxi, you finally agreed."
Tao Mingguan was overjoyed and immediately reached out to pull Bai Wanxi over.
He was a Golden Immortal, and Bai Wanxi didn't even have time to hide. In addition, her second brother, Bai Lingfeng, was helping Tao Mingguan. Bai Wanxi was immediately like a lamb to the slaughter, about to be sent into the tiger's mouth.
Just then.
A shadow suddenly fell from the sky, enveloping the Bai family courtyard.
then.
Three figures plummeted from the sky and landed in front of the crowd.
"Who dares to swagger into our Bai family's residence!"
A loud voice rang out; it was the hidden Golden Immortal expert from the Bai family.
He did not come out in front of Bai Lang and Tao Mingguan, because Bai Lang and Tao Mingguan came from the ground and were polite.
But this flying magical artifact that came from the sky was far too arrogant, showing no regard for the Bai family whatsoever.
If they can pretend they didn't see this, how will the Bai family ever be able to survive in Anyuan City again?
Therefore, this powerful Golden Immortal from the Bai family rushed over immediately and stood in front of Zhang Lingshan, Kong Ruobing, and Zhao Xingqiu.
"So it was the head of the Himuro department."
The Bai family's Golden Immortal expert recognized Kong Ruobing, who was dressed in white and had a white veil on her face, at a glance. He said in a deep voice, "Our Bai family has never offended you. Why are you barging into our Bai family so recklessly?"
"This is none of your business, get out of the way."
Zhang Lingshan had no time for idle chatter. With a wave of his right hand, a blast of icy energy landed on the Golden Immortal of the Bai family.
With a whoosh.
Then the figure of the White Clan Golden Immortal was moved aside, transforming into a statue with a shocked and furious expression. (End of Chapter)
