Liu Ming suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the door. He immediately withdrew his cultivation technique and the black gas around his body immediately returned to his body. At the same time, he asked:
"Who's outside?"
"Young master, it's getting late. Do you need me to go to the kitchen and get you something to eat? " A careful female voice came from outside the door. It sounded like it was one of the two servant girls that served him the day before.
"No need, I don't need to eat anything for the next few days." Liu Ming said without hesitation.
He had just taken the Pill of Fasting yesterday, so he naturally wouldn't eat anything in an unfamiliar place.
"Yes, then I will leave first." The servant girl outside the door seemed to be a bit scared and immediately left the room with light steps.
However, after Liu Ming closed his eyes and rested for a while, undisguised footsteps came from outside the door. At the same time, a strange and pleasant female voice came from outside the door:
"Brother Liu? This is my sister, Bai Yaner. I hope that you can meet me."
"So it's Miss Bai, please come in." Hearing this, Liu Ming's expression changed and he immediately opened his eyes.
Thus, the door to the room was pushed open, and a beautiful woman with a graceful and graceful figure walked in.
The girl wore a green dress and after looking at Liu Ming, she suddenly smiled sweetly and said:
"Brother Liu really has some similarities with Cong Tian. No wonder Guan Da and Gu San, the two servants, suddenly had the idea to let you take my place and participate in the Opening Spirit Ceremony."
"Is that so? Although I haven't personally seen your brother, Miss Bai's words are most likely correct. However, this appearance is my own and I didn't disguise myself. Also, I have heard quite a bit of Miss Bai's name from Guan Da and the others. " Liu Ming squinted his eyes and looked at the girl before calmly walking off the bed and slightly cupping his hands as he spoke.
In his heart, this girl's appearance was quite stunning.
"Oh, I've made a fool of myself in front of Brother Liu. Our Bai Clan only has me as a Spirit Apostle. Sometimes, we have to do things that show our faces. "Hearing this, Bai Yaner's face showed some helplessness as she spoke.
"Is that so? If Miss Bai doesn't like it, you can completely stop meddling in clan matters. With your current status as a Spirit Apostle of the Heavenly Moon Sect, do you think the Bai Clan can force you?" When Liu Ming heard this, he had a noncommittal expression.
"Brother Liu must be joking. Unless we're all alone like Fellow Daoist, none of us from noble clans would truly abandon our clans. However, for Brother Liu to suddenly come to the Bai Clan, there should be some urgent matter. "Bai Yaner smiled slightly before casually asking a question.
"It seems like the Bai family has already investigated my background. However, these are all trivial matters. The reason I came to the Bai Clan this time is because of Mu Mingzhu. I heard that the Bai Clan has already set a wedding date for me and this girl, and they are preparing to send out invitations. Is this true? "After Liu Ming said these two sentences, his face suddenly darkened.
"There is indeed such a thing. Is there a problem? Little Sister Mu Mingzhu has personally seen her before, and she is as beautiful as a flower. Since Brother Liu has already set a marriage agreement with her, then setting a wedding date for this beautiful lady to marry into your family is a natural matter. "Bai Yaner sweetly smiled as she spoke.
"Hmph, I have already seen what Mu Mingzhu looks like in the Sect. However, I don't remember agreeing to this marriage agreement, let alone marrying into your family. If the Bai Clan really wants to use this girl to rope in the Mu Clan, they can find another Bai Cong Tian. There is no need to pull Liu Ming out. "Liu Ming bluntly said.
"Brother Liu, you must be joking. Mu Mingzhu is going to marry Brother Liu. How can anyone else replace her? Although this marriage agreement did not receive your approval, I don't think you have ever written a letter to oppose it. Now that you want to go back on your word, it will put our Bai Clan in a difficult position. "Bai Yaner blinked her eyes as she spoke.
"Fellow Bai, there is no need to argue. Do you know how much trouble this marriage of the Mu Clan has brought me!? Because the Bai Clan only saw the benefits of forming an alliance with the Mu Clan, it caused me to offend someone in the Sect that I originally did not need to offend. Now, I have no choice but to leave the Sect and temporarily avoid the other party for a period of time. "Liu Ming coldly replied.
"What? This marriage caused Fellow to offend someone, causing you to have no choice but to leave the Sect. Could Brother Liu be talking about Gao Chong, the Earth Spiritual Pulse disciple? "Hearing this, Bai Yaner finally thought of something and her expression changed slightly.
"It's fine as long as Miss Bai knows. Perhaps Gao Chong doesn't care about the Bai Clan, but I am currently being targeted by him. Moreover, I don't know how long I will have to bear this blame. Therefore, no matter how you look at it, Liu Ming can be considered to be able to repay the Bai Clan's previous kindness. Right now, I don't want to waste any more time beating around the bush. To tell the truth, the reason I came here this time is to cancel the marriage with Mu Ming Zhu. Secondly, I want to restore my original identity and have nothing to do with the Bai Clan from now on. As for the benefits that your Bai Clan obtained by relying on the name "Bai Chong Tian", I will not ask about it. Just treat it as compensation for borrowing the Bai Clan's Opening Spirit Hall spot. That's right, the Bai Clan can forget about using the fake name to threaten me. I have already personally told the Sect about the fake name. Therefore, when I return to the Sect, the name Bai Chong Tian should completely disappear from the Barbaric Ghost Sect. "Liu Ming said bluntly.
Hearing Liu Ming's words, the last trace of a smile on Bai Yaner's face disappeared. However, after her eyes flashed a few times, she still slowly said:
"Brother Liu, please don't be angry. Everything can be discussed. The Bai Clan has never really thought about revealing the fake name to the higher ups of the Sect. If Brother Liu is not satisfied with Mu Ming Zhu's marriage, I can go back and try to persuade the Clan Leader to cancel the marriage. However, for Brother Liu to directly announce that you are cutting off all ties with the Bai Clan, isn't this a bit too heartless? I won't hide it from Brother Liu. Right now, our Bai Clan is at a crucial point in our development. If we lose Brother Liu's title as one of the top ten Barbarian Ghost Sect disciples, I'm afraid that the consequences of our rapid expansion will immediately appear and we will immediately face a disaster. "Bai Yaner's expression changed and she spoke with a pitiful expression.
"What does this have to do with me? I think I just said that from now on, I am me and the Bai Clan is the Bai Clan. We have nothing to do with each other. Otherwise, with the countless number of Practitioner Clans in the Da Xuan Country, do you think I will have to help each and every one of them when they are in danger? "Liu Ming crossed his arms and said expressionlessly.
Seeing this, Bai Yaner was a bit speechless.
Although her cultivation level was not high and she was only a Beginning Spirit Apostle, she relied on her beauty to be a little famous even among the Spirit Apostles of the Heavenly Moon Sect. Even some of the male disciples of the Outer Sect were infatuated with her. However, she did not think that the youth in front of her, who used to replace her brother, would be indifferent to her pitiful expression. It was as if he was born with a heart of stone.
This kind of man who completely ignored her beautiful appearance caused Bai Yaner to subconsciously think of another person.
That person, who was full of tenderness towards her, also did not show any emotion. Almost all of his thoughts were focused on cultivation.
Thinking of this, Bai Yaner's expression could not help but become a bit strange. However, after calming her mind, she suddenly said something that made Liu Ming slightly stunned.
"Brother Liu, if you plan on cutting off all ties with the Bai Clan, then I won't say anything more. However, if our Bai Clan and Brother Liu make a new deal and exchange for your nominal support, it should not be a difficult matter. "
"Make a new deal? What else can your Bai Clan offer?" When Liu Ming heard this, he did not feel that it was too strange and simply asked a question.
"Yes, this matter is very important. How about this, Brother Liu, please wait for a moment. I will go ask my father and second uncle to come over and let them personally discuss this matter with Brother Liu. How about it? "Bai Yaner said with a serious expression.
"Okay, I will listen to it first." Liu Ming raised his eyebrows and acted as if he did not care.
Bai Yaner faintly smiled and said her goodbyes and left.
In the time it took to eat a meal, the sound of footsteps came from outside again. Bai Yaner brought the head of the Bai Clan and Second Brother Bai to appear in front of Liu Ming.
"Mister Liu, I am very ashamed. Only now do I know that the Mu Clan's marriage has caused you so much trouble. It is normal for mister to feel resentment. Second brother, take out that item and use it as an apology from our Bai Clan. " When the head of the Bai Clan saw Liu Ming, his attitude was extremely low. He first apologized with a face full of shame and then gave an order to the second brother of the Bai Clan.
When the second brother of the Bai Clan heard this, he immediately brought out an exquisite jade box with both hands.
"I have already said before that the Bai Clan and I have completely forgotten about the past. I will not accept a reward without doing anything, so I will not casually take something from the Bai Clan. Fellow Bai said that the Bai Clan is planning on making another deal with me. Tell me about it first. "Liu Ming glanced at the jade box and waved his hand as he spoke.
When the head of the Bai Clan saw this, the smile on his face froze. The second brother of the Bai Clan's face did not look too good.
On the other hand, Bai Yaner's beautiful eyes flashed and she softly laughed:
"Father, I have already said that Brother Liu does not like to beat around the bush. You should just tell him about the deal. This way, perhaps Brother Liu will have a better impression of our Bai Clan."
"Hehe, this is me being a bit impolite. Since it is like this, I will speak frankly. Previously, my daughter has already told Mister Liu about our Bai Clan's current situation. Therefore, our Bai Clan hopes that mister will continue to use the name Bai Cong Tian for the next few years and not be in a rush to use your real name. As a price for this, our Bai Nian has prepared a generous gift for Mister Liu. This is the list of gifts. Mister, please take a look and see if you are satisfied! " Bai Xinliu forced a smile as he spoke. He then took out a piece of paper and handed it over with both hands.
