Bai Mo Xing was already sixty-eight this year.
At this age, he should have retired long ago. But Bai clan's situation was not good these years. As the clan leader's uncle and an important official, he had been working hard and doing his best, but could not leave. At this crucial moment of the clan's survival, he accepted the order and left the mountain. While marching, he unexpectedly found two Gu Masters' aura.
Could they be demonic Gu Masters?
This mission was extremely important to Bai clan, they could not afford to fail. He immediately led his troops and rushed over.
"Two youngsters?" After seeing Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing, he could not help but feel surprised.
His gaze swept across the crowd and stopped on Bai Ning Bing.
Bai Ning Bing's expression was cold, her gaze was cold as she stared at Bai Mo Xing with her blue eyes, revealing her rank three aura.
"So young, but already rank three — genius!" Not only Bai Mo Xing, the other three all had the same thought when they saw Bai Ning Bing.
At once, four pairs of eyes gathered on Bai Ning Bing.
Bai Ning Bing had turned into a woman, her appearance was elegant and beautiful, emitting a cold aura, making her look like a snow fairy. Even though she was in a sorry state, it could not hide her pearl-like radiance. It could even serve as a foil to her strong and unyielding nature, causing others to sigh in admiration and love.
Compared to her, Fang Yuan, who was behind her, was much dimmer.
Fang Yuan had an ordinary appearance and only rank one cultivation. Many people's gazes swept past him before turning back to Bai Ning Bing.
Fang Yuan was happy to see this, he hoped these people would pay less attention to him.
But Bai Mo Xing was different.
Soon, he turned his gaze to Fang Yuan.
Bai Ning Bing protected Fang Yuan, showing a stance of not retreating no matter what. And Fang Yuan hid behind Bai Ning Bing, but his gaze was calm.
"To be protected by this genius girl, this young man seems to be the leader of the two, what kind of person is he?" Bai Mo Xing was an old fox after all, his gaze was extremely shrewd.
Originally, he thought they were two demonic Gu Masters, but now his heart wavered.
Looking at Bai Ning Bing and Fang Yuan's stance, as well as their orthodox Gu Master attire, they looked like young masters of large clans.
"If it's a demonic Gu Master, we can just kill him. But if he was the young master of a big family, he had to be careful. If I provoke the revenge of the powers behind them and bring trouble to the Bai Clan, then I, Bai Mo Xing, will be the sinner of my clan! Fortunately, I'm strong and the enemy is weak. The situation is under my control. "
As Bai Mo Xing was thinking, Fang Yuan took a step forward and suddenly stood out.
He cupped his hands together and said, "I'm Guyue Fangzheng, the young master of the Guyue clan of Qing Mao Mountain. Greetings, Senior."
"Qing Mao Mountain?"
"The young master of the Guyue Clan?"
Everyone was astonished.
Bai Ning Bing was also surprised, but she slightly lowered her eyes to hide the flaw in her gaze.
She knew that Fang Yuan was starting to bluff. Now that the enemy was strong and they were weak, the only way to escape was to outsmart them.
She had a clear view of the situation. The tacit understanding she had developed over the past few days made her take a small step back and stand beside Fang Yuan. He was still glaring angrily, looking like a bodyguard who was unafraid of death.
"Young lad, you're lying! Qing Mao Mountain has long been destroyed. Do you think I don't know? "Bai Mo Xing's expression was cold as he shouted.
Fang Yuan smiled bitterly and spread his hands, "It is because Qing Mao Mountain has been destroyed that I am here. May I ask for senior's name? "
Bai Mo Xing was hesitating if he should say his name, but a young lad beside him already spoke, "Then listen carefully. We are the elites of the Bai Clan. This is our Bai Clan's number one elder, and also my clan uncle — — Lord Bai Mo Xing! "
At this moment, Bai Mo Xing wanted to kick his nephew to death.
The Bai Clan's operation this time was done with great fanfare, but other than the upper echelons of the clan, no one knew of their true objective. These people were also kept in the dark.
On the surface, they were out to hunt and train their young master's courage. But their true objective was to investigate the location of the spirit spring in Bai Gu Mountain and carry out the preliminary cleanup.
"However, I don't think they will be able to guess." Bai Mo Xing looked at Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing and quickly calmed down.
"As expected of the Bai Clan." Fang Yuan sneered in his heart.
From the appearance of these four Gu Masters, he already had a rough guess.
The Bai Clan's spirit spring was on the verge of drying up, thus they needed to find a new spirit spring and relocate the clan.
The matter of relocating the clan was extremely important and there was a lot of preparation work. At the same time, it had to be kept a secret.
Otherwise, if the enemy forces found out and sabotaged the work, the Bai Clan would be in danger of being exterminated.
It was just that Fang Yuan did not expect this Bai clan leader to have such foresight. Ten years ago, he had already started the preparations. He sent these clansmen to Bai Gu mountain from time to time to investigate.
There was indeed a reason for the Bai Clan's future prosperity.
The appearance of the Bai Clan's Gu Masters surprised Fang Yuan. This would no doubt have a huge impact on his following actions.
But on his face, Fang Yuan showed a slight smile and cupped his fists, "So it is a fellow Bai Clan member, nice to meet you!"
Then he turned to Bai Ning Bing, "Ning Bing, step down. Don't worry, the Bai Clan is not a demonic Gu Master. "
Bai Ning Bing heard Fang Yuan speak to her in such a gentle tone and almost got goosebumps.
She endured the annoyance in her heart and retracted her battle intent, taking a step back and remaining silent.
This action made the four Gu Masters let out a sigh of relief.
After all, Bai Ning Bing was a Rank three Gu Master.
"So her name is Ning Bing …" Bai Mo Xing's nephew muttered in his heart, his gaze somewhat dazed.
Bai Mo Xing squinted his eyes and probed, "It sounds like nephew Guyue met a demonic Gu Master on the way?"
"Yes. My heart still palpitates when I think about it. " Fang Yuan patted his chest, his gaze revealing a trace of fear, "But fortunately, the clan leader and a few elders arrived in time and killed that Rank three Gu Master."
"Clan leader and elders …" Bai Mo Xing's heart thumped and he quickly asked, "Don't tell me Guyue clan leader and elders are not far away?"
Fang Yuan shook his head and sighed, "We got separated from the main group."
Bai Mo Xing immediately relaxed.
Then Fang Yuan's next sentence made his heart skip a beat, "But I believe that not long later, we will meet up with the main group. Because our destination this time is the White Bones Mountain. "
Bai Mo Xing immediately tensed up, "Bai Gu mountain? What are you doing at Bai Gu mountain? "
"This …" Fang Yuan purposely hesitated and did not say it.
Bai Mo Xing snorted, a bad answer appearing in his heart.
Qing Mao mountain was already destroyed, what did Guyue clan's remnant members do first? Of course it was to set up camp and rebuild their homes!
"Don't tell me they also chose Bai Gu mountain? Damn it! "In an instant, Bai Mo Xing's heart surged with intense killing intent.
According to his conjecture, Qing Mao mountain's main group was his Bai clan's enemy.
But he quickly restrained his killing intent.
He was already old, he was not as impulsive as youngsters.
Old people always prioritized safety when dealing with matters.
He calmed down and thought carefully, even if he killed these two immediately, it would be useless!
Killing them would not stop Qing Mao mountain's remnant members from coming to Bai Gu mountain. Instead, it would make the situation worse, first, it would create a group of enemies.
And this group of enemies, although they did not have any foundation, they were very strong. Didn't you hear what Guyue clan's young master said? There were clan leaders and elders in the main group. What was even more frightening was that these people were even more determined to die in battle when they were in a desperate situation.
Secondly, even if they attacked now. That girl called Ning Bing was a genuine rank three Gu Master. And on his side, although they were strong, there would still be casualties.
Furthermore, such an important matter should not be decided by himself. The clan leader was not far away, why not ask her for instructions?
Thinking of this, Bai Mo Xing decided to stabilize Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing first.
He smiled, saying passionately: "This is such a coincidence, nephew. Our Bai clan's main group is nearby, we are holding our annual big hunt. Our Bai clan is like half the host, nephew must come and be our guest, let us do our best to be the host. "
"This …" Fang Yuan purposely hesitated.
"Come, our Bai clan's roasted lamb leg is top-notch." Bai Mo Xing's nephew also persuaded, but his gaze was fixed on Bai Ning Bing.
Fang Yuan rubbed his belly, showing a difficult expression. He seemed to be somewhat apprehensive, but also somewhat eager.
Bai Mo Xing's eyes shone brightly, laughing loudly: "Nephew, don't hesitate, if you continue to hesitate, you are not giving me face."
Fang Yuan bowed: "Then I shall trouble your clan."
…
A banquet was prepared in a spacious tent.
Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing each had a banquet, sitting next to each other.
A few clan elders sat opposite, and the main seat was Bai clan leader.
The top of the tent was opened, and the blue sky could be seen. In the center, a lamb was being roasted, and the fragrance had already filled the tent.
"Come, the lamb leg is the most tender. Guests from afar, please enjoy. "Bai clan leader said passionately.
She was a middle-aged woman. Under her signal, the servant in charge of roasting the lamb first cut the lamb leg and offered it to Fang Yuan. Then, he cut another leg and placed it on a silver plate, placing it in front of Bai Ning Bing.
The lamb leg was giving off steam, Fang Yuan took a bite, it was crispy and tender. If it was dipped in some honey or cumin, it would be even more delicious.
"It is indeed a delicacy, not inferior to the grass skirt monkey brain." Even Bai Ning Bing praised after eating.
"The guest likes it, that is what makes the host the happiest. Hahaha. "Bai Mo Xing laughed.
As Fang Yuan ate, tears flowed down.
Everyone was shocked, and Bai clan leader hurriedly asked: "Nephew Fangzheng, why are you crying?"
"The delicacy is truly too delicious, but thinking of how Ning Bing and I have been in danger these days, wandering from place to place, and thinking of how our clansmen are barely clothed and starving, I cannot help but feel heartache, I hope clan leader can forgive me." Fang Yuan stood up and cupped his fists.
The few clan elders looked at each other and sighed.
Bai clan leader asked: "My clan deeply sympathizes with Guyue clan's disaster. Can Nephew tell me what actually happened on Qing Mao Mountain? "(To be continued). If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Yisou.
