On this day, although Bai Zhengqi's defeat caused a great sensation, he had become a loser after all, and he had not yet been recognized by the family head.
Therefore, this matter was quickly forgotten. After all, the minor competition was still going on, and there were still so many wonderful techniques. Who would still remember Bai Zhengqi?
However, what others did not know was that just after the end of this day's minor competition, Bai Zhengqi was invited to Yunshou Peak.
Bai Zhengqi sat alone in the small hall.
He knew that this was the place where the family head privately received guests, and not just anyone could be received by the family head here. It must be someone with a certain status.
Just as Bai Zhengqi was fidgeting in the small hall, a maid came in with tea.
"Young Master Bai, please have some tea!"
"This … Excuse me, is it really the family head who is looking for me?" Facing such politeness from the woman, Bai Zhengqi felt a little flattered.
After all, he did not think of himself as a distinguished guest. He was brought here alone, and when he thought of facing the family head, he could not help but feel very nervous.
"Only the family head can receive guests here, I think it should not be wrong!" The maid thought about it and said.
She was just a maid who served tea and poured water, how could she know about this.
However, she knew that ordinary people were not qualified to come here, unless the family head had guests, they would only serve tea here.
So from this point alone, what she said was naturally not wrong.
After the maid went out, Bai Zhengqi carefully picked up the hot tea and smelled the faint fragrance in it, his heart seemed to slowly calm down.
"This tea is so extraordinary!" Bai Zhengqi saw that the tea was so amazing just by smelling it, he could not help but drink it curiously, and suddenly felt his whole body relax a lot.
After all, he was an early Mahayana Realm cultivator, if it was just ordinary tea, it would not have much effect on people in this realm.
However, this tea was surprisingly effective, it could be seen that the tea here was not simple, it was worthy of being a place where the family head received distinguished guests.
At this moment, his heart suddenly calmed a lot, and blood even rose in his body.
"It would be great if I could reach such heights like the Patriarch one day!" Bai Zhengqi said softly as he put down the teacup.
"No one's success will appear for no reason. If a person doesn't have confidence in himself, how can he succeed?" At this moment, Cheng Yu walked out from the living room.
"Bai Zhengqi greets the Patriarch!" Seeing the Patriarch appear, Bai Zhengqi hurriedly put down the teacup, got up, and hurriedly knelt before the Patriarch.
Get up Cheng Yu sat down and said.
Seeing the Clan Head, Bai Zhengqi, who had originally calmed down, suddenly became nervous again. He sat there somewhat awkwardly.
"Are you afraid of me?" Cheng Yu asked when he saw how uneasy she was.
"Master, I …"
However, in Bai Zhengqi's mind, Cheng Yu was the Cheng Family's god. He was a man who had fused all the glory into his body.
In the entire Cheng Family, there was no one who didn't worship Cheng Yu. However, it was also because Cheng Yu's image in his heart was too high.
Therefore, in front of the Patriarch, Bai Zhengqi always felt that he was too lowly.
More importantly, during this period of time, everything that happened in the small competition made him feel that the Patriarch seemed to be targeting him. He couldn't help but worry that the Patriarch might have some opinions about him. His heart became even more nervous.
"No matter what a person does, they should stick to their own heart. As long as it's not a bad thing, what's there to be afraid of?
Back then, the Cheng Family suffered a great calamity, but I remember that you were even more confident than you are now.
Now that the Cheng Family is far from what it was back then, why are you not as good as you were back then? "Cheng Yu said.
"Patriarch, I … I … I want to know why?"
Hearing Cheng Yu's words, Bai Zhengqi seemed to recall the scene of him meeting the Cheng Family in the secular world. He was somewhat moved in his heart. He didn't expect that the Patriarch would still remember this matter. Thus, he steeled his heart and boldly said.
"What do you mean?" Cheng Yu smiled.
"Why didn't the Patriarch give me a chance after I won so many battles?" Bai Zhengqi finally asked the question that he wanted to know the most during this period of time.
At this moment, he was both nervous and expectant.
He didn't know what kind of answer the Patriarch would give him. After all, he was still looking forward to getting the Patriarch's guidance.
For a high and mighty figure like the Patriarch, if he could get his guidance, his strength would definitely advance by leaps and bounds, making him even more powerful.
"Didn't I already say it before the small competition? I will choose disciples with good talent or great potential. Therefore, in the competition, winning or losing doesn't seem to be the reason why I choose them. "Cheng Yu had a faint smile on his face.
"But to be able to keep winning, isn't it also a display of talent and potential? If the people chosen by the Patriarch can't beat their opponents, then how can it prove that they have more potential than their opponents? "Bai Zhengqi argued.
"Having talent and potential doesn't mean that they are very strong. It's just because they lack an opportunity to be unearthed. That's why I picked them out and gave them a chance to display their talent and release their potential Cheng Yu said as a matter of course.
"Does the Patriarch mean that my talent and potential are inferior to theirs?" Bai Zhengqi couldn't agree with the Patriarch at all.
Even if what the Patriarch said was right, at least he didn't think that he didn't have talent. At the very least, his talent wouldn't be inferior to others
Therefore, he wasn't convinced
"What do you think?" Cheng Yu asked.
"I … Although I don't dare to say that my talent is better than the people chosen by the Patriarch and that my potential is greater than theirs, I will never admit that I am inferior to all of them" Bai Zhengqi also threw caution to the wind.
Since he had already laid his cards on the table with the Patriarch, there was no way out for him. He might as well speak his mind and speak his mind.
"But what if I still don't want to choose you?" Cheng Yu asked with a smile.
"Patriarch, is it really because of the matter between me and the Young Miss that the Patriarch has such a big prejudice against me?" Bai Zhengqi felt that his courage was constantly growing. At this moment, he didn't seem to be afraid of anything.
He just wanted a reasonable explanation!
"You like the Young Miss a lot?" Cheng Yu asked indifferently.
"I … Of course!" Bai Zhengqi stared blankly. After thinking for a while, he still said it with certainty.
"Do you think you are worthy of the Young Miss? You can't even win a small competition in the Cheng Family. What qualifications do you think you have to be together with the Young Miss? "Cheng Yu continued to ask.
"I know that my current strength is not enough to protect the Young Miss, but I have confidence in myself. I will definitely become stronger." Bai Zhengqi said loudly.
"Why should I believe your words? Moreover, it's impossible for your strength to surpass the Young Miss.
Because even if it's me, I can't compare to her cultivation speed. Perhaps it won't be long before her strength surpasses mine. How many years do you think you need to be qualified to protect her? "Cheng Yu looked at Bai Zhengqi and said.
He wasn't lying to Bai Zhengqi. Keke had the Spirit Origin Pill Body. With Keke's method of increasing strength, no one else would be able to replicate it.
Therefore, even if it was him, it was impossible for him to be faster than Keke's cultivation speed.
Thinking about it, Keke's cultivation speed was much shorter than his, but so what? After so many years, Keke's strength was already second only to him in the entire Cheng Family.
He wasn't sure how long it would take for Keke to surpass his strength.
And he believed that the only possibility for his strength not to be surpassed by Keke was if he found a way to awaken the Holy Race's bloodline.
However, if he couldn't find a way to awaken it, Keke would be stronger than him sooner or later
"This … How is this possible? How can the Young Miss's strength surpass the Patriarch? "Bai Zhengqi was shocked. He felt that this was simply impossible.
"So you are not worthy of the Young Miss. She is much stronger than you think. I advise you to give up.
As long as you are willing to no longer be with the Young Miss, I can let you enter the list and receive my personal guidance Cheng Yu said.
"That's impossible. I am sincere to the Young Miss. Even if it is as the Patriarch said, that the Young Miss is very strong, so strong that I will never be able to catch up to her, I am willing to use my life to protect her.
If I want to use my relationship with the Young Miss to obtain my achievements, then I would rather not. "Bai Zhengqi decisively rejected Cheng Yu.
"Are you sure you have feelings for the Young Miss?" Cheng Yu asked.
"Of course."
"You are even willing to die for her?" Cheng Yu asked again.
"I am willing" Perhaps Bai Zhengqi didn't want to be looked down upon by Cheng Yu, so he took a few steps forward and said firmly.
"Alright, I will fulfill your wish" Cheng Yu said.
"Patriarch … You agree?" Bai Zhengqi asked in disbelief.
"I mean, I will fulfill your wish and let you die for the Young Miss now" Cheng Yu said indifferently.
"This …" Bai Zhengqi was stunned. He didn't expect the Patriarch to mean this.
"I will give you another chance now. If you walk out of this door now, I will let you go. If you insist, then I can only fulfill your wish "Cheng Yu's voice turned cold. Cheng Yu's voice turned colder. It was so much so that the whole living room seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, causing them to be unable to breathe.
"I … I … I won't leave even if I die" Bai Zhengqi didn't expect the Patriarch to be serious, but he still didn't want to leave.
