After hearing Zhan Changkong's words, it would be a lie if Ren Baqian said he wasn't moved.
He didn't care about the rest, except for the girl. Not only was she beautiful, but her eyes were also as clear and transparent as a lake. There was also the innocence in her eyes, as well as the curiosity of a baby. To men, this was a fatal temptation, and they wanted to protect that innocence.
However, thinking about the empress who was still waiting for him to feed her and his identity, Ren Baqian shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I appreciate it."
"Why? You don't like her?" Zhan Changkong couldn't help but ask. At this moment, his mood was extremely complicated. If Ren Baqian accepted directly, he would be worried. But if he rejected it, he would be unhappy. How could he reject his own daughter? Was this person blind?
"I'm here to form an alliance and have no interest in anything else." Ren Baqian still rejected.
After he rejected, he realized that those attendants were relieved, but Zhan Changkong was very unhappy. This made him wonder if Zhan Changkong really liked to give away his daughter. Also, why did those attendants feel relieved? Just now, you even said something to stop me. Could it be that your lover is inside?
As the dance ended, these women left one after another. Ren Baqian felt a little regretful because those eyes were really unforgettable.
At night, when Ren Baqian went back to rest, Zhan Changkong and Painting Fairy returned to their room.
"Are you really in such a hurry? Aren't you afraid of entrusting her to the wrong person? " Painting Fairy asked after entering the room. Previously, she acted as if she didn't hear anything, but now that she was back, she immediately spoke. It was obvious that she wasn't calm.
"Although you mentioned this before, I didn't expect you to be so anxious. We just met, and you don't even know his temperament. You actually want to entrust Xian 'er to him."
"Time waits for no man. Qi Zixiao has already arrived in Gu City. At this time, she isn't in Lan City, but is here. It's hard to predict her intentions. "Zhan Changkong sighed.
"What?" Painting Fairy was shocked when she heard this. Everyone in the entire Tianjing Basin feared and hated that famous woman.
"Is this true?"
"It can't be wrong," Zhan Changkong said. "Therefore, even if I don't understand this person, I can't care too much. If there are unforeseen circumstances, it will be too late to consider this matter. Moreover … "
Dayao wasn't scary.
What was terrifying was the endless number of barbarians in the Sixty Thousand Mountains.
Even if they managed to get out of the valley, he did not know if they would be able to chase the barbarians back and block their counterattack. He did not know how many people would die and how many would survive.
"What's more, Caixian is too pure. If something happens to us, I'm afraid that she will suffer a lot in the future. Since that was the case, he might as well find a backer. We don't have that much time and opportunity to slowly choose, "Zhan Changkong said after a pause.
Under normal circumstances, his daughter's looks would naturally be the target of countless pursuers.
But in times of chaos, it became her disaster.
In addition, she was innocent and ignorant of worldly affairs. Whether or not she could protect herself in this chaotic world was truly worrying.
Rather than that, it was better to find a backer. No matter how bad it was, it wouldn't be that bad.
After listening to Zhan Changkong's words, a complicated expression appeared on Painting Fairy's face. Although she was reluctant, she didn't speak anymore.
"What now?"
"Tomorrow, the mansion will send someone to send him to Heavenly Cloud Mountain and have Cai Xian go with him. With Cai Xian's talent, looks, and temperament, no man will not be tempted after interacting with her for a few days, "Zhan Changkong said with a complicated expression.
After a long time, Painting Fairy sighed, got up, and left the room.
…
The next morning, Ren Baqian woke Lin Qiaole up after washing his face. In order to keep her awake, he played a little game with her.
He threw the candy to the left, and Lin Qiaole appeared in the air like a gust of wind.
Then, Ren Baqian took out another candy and threw it to the right.
After catching five or six candies, Lin Qiaole couldn't help but say faintly, "Why do I feel that something isn't right?"
"You eat and sleep every day. You will get fat and your body will rust. You need to exercise." Ren Baqian threw a candy behind him, and Lin Qiaole immediately disappeared from his sight.
"Cough, cough." Ling Zekuan, who had been standing in front of the courtyard for a long time, didn't know how to react. Finally, he coughed.
"Mister Ye, please have breakfast."
Following Ling Zekuan's words, a few maids brought their breakfast to the courtyard.
"If there's anything you don't like, just tell me."
"When do we set off?" Ren Baqian asked.
"We can set off after breakfast."
After breakfast, Ren Baqian packed up his things and waited for someone to call them.
After about two hours, Ren Baqian was a little impatient when Ling Zekuan finally arrived.
"Mister Ye, everything has been arranged. Please follow me."
As Ling Zekuan walked out, they realized that they were on the way to the mountain gate. When they were near the gate, they saw a large group of people in the distance.
"Mister Ye, I have already arranged for someone to bring you there. There will be someone to take care of things along the way, so you don't have to worry." Zhan Changkong turned around and cupped his hands when he saw Ren Baqian.
"Thank you." Ren Baqian cupped his hands.
Then, the crowd split into two. In front of them were six horses and a rather gorgeous carriage, as well as the ox cart that Ren Baqian came with.
"Mister Ye, let's cut to the chase. We will meet again in the future. Let's drink and chat merrily when we meet again. "Zhan Changkong cupped his hands.
"Let's meet again." Ren Baqian cupped his hands, thinking that when they met again, they would probably want to swallow him alive. Since that was the case, it was better not to meet again.
At least after staying at the Golden Ring Sect for a night, he didn't have a bad impression of this place. Unfortunately, they were on different sides and were destined to be enemies. There was nothing much to say.
"Let's meet again." Everyone cupped their hands.
Ren Baqian looked at the two carriages in front of him. Seeing that no one wanted him to get on the carriage, he got on his own ox cart.
Then, eight people came out from the crowd and got on their horses. Two of them were responsible for driving the carriage. One of them was the elder in charge of external affairs, Ling Zekuan. As for the two people from the Nine Blades Sect, he didn't see them.
"Mister Ye, just let me know if anything happens along the way." Ling Zekuan smiled at Ren Baqian as he sat on the horse.
His smile was complicated.
Ren Baqian nodded, turned his head, nodded at Zhan Changkong and the rest, and entered the ox cart.
When the ox cart started its journey, Ren Baqian began to ponder about the carriage behind. When he first saw it, he thought it was prepared for the two of them. He didn't expect it to be completely different, which made him feel a little strange.
Could it be that there was something on this carriage?
Ren Baqian's mind raced. Could it be that the dancers from yesterday were on it?
He didn't know if that woman was among them.
However, even if there was, he wouldn't dare to accept them. If he did, the empress would skin him and hang him on the city wall to dry him like bacon.
He was very clear about the empress's temperament.
If he went to a brothel to drink in Lan City, as long as he didn't go overboard, the empress might turn a blind eye. Moreover, there was Tong Zhenye, the old bastard, to take the blame for him. The empress seemed to be more interested in beating him up.
However, if he wanted to keep a mistress in his golden house, hehe.
Ren Baqian thought for a while and didn't think too much about it. At most, he would ask Ling Zekuan to bring her back when they reached the destination.
Whoever wanted her could have her, but he didn't dare to.
They traveled all the way until noon, when everyone stopped to take a break.
Ren Baqian had been paying attention to the movements of the carriage. Sure enough, when the carriage stopped, a hand reached out to the side and pulled open the curtain. A girl's face appeared from behind the curtain.
It's really her, Ren Baqian thought. It was the girl from last night, whose eyes were as clear as the bottom of a lake and who gave people the feeling that she was ignorant of worldly affairs.
At this moment, she was wearing a light green dress and had her hair combed into a young girl's bun. Compared to yesterday, she looked more lively.
"Mister Ye, father asked me to send you to Mount Tianyun." That girl imitated others and cupped her hands at Ren Baqian. Following which, she grinned innocently.
"Your father? Is he …? "Ren Baqian immediately caught this word.
"Third Miss." Ling Zekuan nodded at the girl and said to Ren Baqian, "She is the youngest daughter of the chief. This time, she will accompany me to send Mister Ye to Mount Tianyun."
Ren Baqian looked at that girl and couldn't wrap his head around it. Yesterday, Zhan Changkong almost gave those dancers to him, right? Didn't that include her?
Or did he misunderstand something?
He must have misunderstood something. Yesterday, she shouldn't have been included. It was just the others. However, that didn't make much sense. The other girls from last night could only be said to be good-looking, nothing more. For Ren Baqian, who was used to seeing the empress and Li Yuanzhu, they weren't attractive at all.
Compared to the flat-chested girl, Lin Qiaole, she was a little inferior.
He really didn't expect that the chief of the Golden Ring Residence would actually let his own daughter dance.
Ren Baqian pondered and felt that he might have misunderstood yesterday.
