"Why not? That Liu brat is one of the top ten disciples of the Barbarian Ghost Sect. His strength and identity are more than enough for Yan Er. It's understandable that he doesn't like the Practitioner Miss of the Mu Clan because their statuses are too different. However, with Yan Er's beauty and status as a Spirit Apostle, I don't believe that he won't be moved if she were to marry him. Most importantly, didn't I investigate his background? He has nothing to do with any of the Qi Practitioner Clans. He's just a fugitive who escaped from Savage Island. If big brother can get him to be your son-in-law, will he not work hard for our Bai Clan? "Second Brother Bai said excitedly.
When the old woman heard this, although she didn't say anything, her face showed that she was tempted.
"Mother, second brother, don't forget that we promised Yan Er back then. As long as she becomes a Spirit Apostle, we will completely follow her wishes regarding her marriage. We will not force her." Seeing this, Bai Xinliu bitterly laughed as he replied.
"Big brother, that was then and this is now. Right now, if we can't get that brat to fall in love with us, not only will the Bai Clan return to its original state in one night, we might even face the danger of being wiped out. After all, in order to expand our faction, we have already touched the interests of too many factions. "Second Brother Bai said anxiously.
When Bai Xinliu heard this, his face changed several times and he didn't know what to say.
"Yes, second brother's words are reasonable. However, Yan Er is a Spirit Apostle after all, so we can't really decide on her marriage. How about this, we can tell her our intentions. If Yan Er doesn't go against us, then it will be the best of both worlds and we won't be in a difficult situation. "The old woman finally made a decision.
"Okay, since mother has said so, when Yan Er comes back, let's talk about this with her." Seeing that the old woman said so, Bai Xinliu could only grit his teeth and say this.
In the other courtyard, Liu Ming sat cross legged on his bed and quietly closed his eyes. It was as if he didn't care about what would happen the next day.
… …
The next morning, Liu Ming, who was still meditating, suddenly had a slight change in his expression. He suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at the sky above him. Immediately, he closed his eyes again with a calm expression.
At the same time, over 300 meters above the Bai manor, a man and a woman stood side by side on a gray cloud. They stared at the courtyard where Liu Ming resided.
"In the entire Bai Clan, there is only one person with the aura of a Spirit Apostle. Looks like your brother has indeed returned to the clan." The blue-robed, extraordinarily handsome young man suddenly turned to the slender woman wearing a green cloak beside him and said with a smile.
"Yes, when I left the mansion a few days ago, this courtyard was still empty. It seems that Congtian is indeed living here. If I have time in the next two days, I'll introduce you to little brother, "the azure-cloaked woman said in a pleasant voice.
"Okay, although the main reason I came this time is to see you, Yan Er, I also want to see what my future brother-in-law looks like. Ever since my sister was imprisoned in the clan, she has never said a single good word to your brother. On the other hand, my aunt's letters have been full of praise for your brother. Since he was able to become one of the top ten disciples of the Barbarian Ghost Sect, he must have something special about him. "The blue-robed man said with a smile.
"Speaking of this, I still have to thank Brother Mu. If it wasn't for Brother Mu Ling notifying me in time, the Bai Clan wouldn't have known that I had become one of the top ten disciples of the Barbarian Ghost Sect and wouldn't have seized the opportunity to expand our Bai Clan. "The cloaked woman replied softly.
This blue-robed man was the messenger that the Mu Clan had sent out this time. He was the Spirit Apostle that had entered the Nine Aperture Sect. From his tone, he was actually Mu Ming Zhu's older brother.
As for the cloaked woman, she was naturally Bai Yaner, who had entered the Heavenly Moon Sect.
"Hehe, it really isn't easy for us Practitioner Clans to find out what is happening in the Sect. It is normal for us to wait a few months to half a year before finding out. The Mu Clan was able to find out about the Barbarian Ghost Sect because my aunt used a special method to send the message. However, even if I didn't say it, your brother would quickly send the news back to the Bai Clan. Me doing this is just icing on the cake. Also, my sister is about to get married to your brother. At that time, the Bai and Mu Clans will be even more inseparable. "Mu Ling laughed as he spoke.
"I naturally hope that our two clans can completely solidify this alliance. This way, no matter which faction wants to deal with us, they will have to be a bit more cautious. There isn't enough time this time, so I wasn't able to accompany you on a tour outside of Lushui City. However, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely accompany Brother Mu Ling to the fullest. Now, let's go down first. I will first arrange a place for Brother Mu to stay. In these two days, we might need to discuss the details of the alliance between our two clans. "Bai Yaner faintly smiled before slowly descending to the Bai Clan.
The blue-robed young man looked at Bai Yaner's graceful figure with infatuation before descending as well.
Fifteen minutes later, Bai Yaner appeared in the Bai Clan's guest hall. There, the head of the Bai Clan, Second Brother Bai, and the old woman were all sitting on chairs and discussing something.
"Yan Er, you've finally returned. I thought you would arrive a bit later. "When Bai Xinliu saw his daughter, he immediately spoke with joy.
"Yan Er pays her respects to Clan Mother, Father, and Second Uncle!" Bai Yaner curtsied to the three before standing up and taking off the cloak on her face.
He saw that this girl was around twenty years old. Her skin was smooth and her face was like a peach blossom. She had a pair of phoenix eyes and there was an indescribable charm between her eyebrows. She had a bright and beautiful appearance.
"Quickly stand up. This time, it has been hard on you. That's right, did the Mu Clan's envoy come back with you? " The old woman was clearly very fond of Bai Yaner. She waved her hand for her to stand up before asking this cautiously.
"Grandmother, don't worry. I have already made arrangements for him. In addition, we traveled for an entire night. He should be resting by now." Bai Yaner replied with a smile.
"That's good. Before we finish discussing everything with that brat, we definitely cannot let the two of them meet." When the old woman heard this, she let out a sigh of relief.
"However, we don't have much time left. We need to pull this person over to our side in the shortest amount of time possible. At the very least, we cannot let him reveal his true identity right now. Otherwise, our Bai Clan will be in big trouble. But why did this kid surnamed Liu come so suddenly? Isn't it said that the new top ten disciples of the major sects generally have to use the resources rewarded by the sect to go into seclusion for several months? "Old Bai asked with some worry." That's right.
"According to common sense, that should be the case. After all, they all need to prepare for the Life and Death Trials in a year. Unless something happened in the Barbarian Ghost Sect that we don't know about. "Bai Yaner's beautiful eyes flashed as she slowly replied.
"What can happen that won't affect our plans?" The Bai Clan Head's expression changed slightly as he asked.
"That's hard to say. After all, the last time we received news was when this person became one of the top ten disciples of the Barbarian Ghost Sect in the Large Competition. Furthermore, it was the Mu Clan that gave us this news. However, Father, you don't need to worry. We have learned our lesson and have already left people near the Barbarian Ghost Sect. Once we have a chance to find out any information, we will immediately use a bird to send a message. Right now, what we need to do is to completely pull this person over to our side. "Bai Yaner said unhurriedly.
"Yes, that is indeed the case. However, Yaner, you are also a Spirit Apostle. Do you think that the conditions that we set out before will be able to move this brat? "The old woman muttered to herself before asking with a serious expression.
"If it was before, it would definitely be more than enough. However, after this person becomes one of the top ten disciples, it will be hard to say. With his current status, even if he were to tell the upper echelons of the Barbarian Ghost Sect that he impersonated Cong Tian, he will most likely only receive a small punishment. We won't be able to use this matter to threaten him. Instead, I'm afraid that after this person's strength greatly increases, he will not be willing to have anything to do with our Bai Clan. Instead, he will want to quickly resolve his relationship with our Bai Clan. If that's the case, the original conditions are indeed a bit weak. "Bai Yaner sighed as she spoke.
"However, the previous conditions were already the limit of what our Bai Clan can offer. After all, our Bai Clan was originally a third rate Practitioner Clan and did not have many resources accumulated." The second brother of the Bai Clan was a bit anxious.
"However, the other party is already one of the top ten disciples of the Barbarian Ghost Sect. With the great rewards from the Sect, it will be very difficult for the Bai Clan's resources to enter his eyes." Bai Yaner shook her head and replied with a serious expression.
"If that's the case, Yan Er, do you think we can use another method to tie this person back to our Bai Clan?" The old woman furrowed her eyebrows for a while before suddenly asking this question.
"Oh, grandmother means …" Bai Yaner blinked her bright eyes and asked thoughtfully.
"Yan Er, I won't hide anything from you. Yesterday, your father and second uncle discussed a few things together and felt that there was a method that might be able to move this boy's heart. However, this matter is related to you, so grandmother wants to ask you something first. If you were to be betrothed to this person, would you be willing? "The old woman lightly moved the bronze walking stick in her hand and asked with a flash of light in her eyes.
"Oh, grandmother and father plan on taking this person as a son-in-law? I can't answer grandmother and father about this matter right now. I have to wait until I see him in person before I can make a decision. " When Bai Yaner heard this, she actually did not get angry. Instead, she pondered for a while before replying seriously.
"Hehe, that is a natural matter. Later, Yan Er will first see this person and test his intentions. After that, I will let your father and second uncle go and discuss the specific conditions with him. This old woman is already quite old and will not show her face in public. " When the old woman saw that Bai Yaner did not immediately refuse, her wrinkled face couldn't help but reveal a smile as she spoke.
