This made him smell something unusual. At this moment, when he saw Bai Qing's hypocritical and sincere look, he immediately confirmed his previous guess. Damn it, he was used by him again.
To be honest, this feeling made him very uncomfortable. He always felt that he had been schemed against, but no matter how uncomfortable he was, he could only wait and see before he figured out the whole story.
If it were in the past, Ding Ning would definitely fly into a rage and directly fall out with him. But after experiencing so many things, Ding Ning had become more mature and did not show his inner dissatisfaction. Instead, he greeted Bai Qing with a sincere smile and said sarcastically, "Second Brother, you are so busy that it's normal for you to be careless."
Before he came to Yan Jing, his sister once said to him, "People living in this world have their own value. It's not terrible to be used by others, because it shows that you still have value to be used by others. Therefore, people who are used by others should not be angry or angry, but should learn how to protect themselves while feeling proud. Most people in this world are chess pieces, and only a few people are qualified to be chess players. If you don't want to be used by others, you should strive to be a chess player."
Ding Qianlie said this sentence with deep meaning. Ding Ning did not know what she wanted to express, but he really heard it and kept it in mind.
His father and several Shifus taught him martial arts, medical skills, culinary skills, they taught him how to be a man, they taught him all kinds of Jianghu experiences, but they did not teach him how to conduct himself in society and how to get along with people.
His sister must have said this for his own good, so he kept it in mind seriously and constantly combined theory with practice. Even when dealing with things, he became more mature and steady.
"Brother, don't be angry. I have no choice. The current situation is very unfavorable for me, so I can only take advantage of it. When it's over, I will explain to you. You can punish me or punish me. We are sworn brothers, so you can't just watch me die."
Hearing the dissatisfaction in Ding Ning's words, Bai Qing gave him a big bear hug and took the opportunity to quickly say in his ear with a wry smile and a sincere tone.
This was Bai Qing's cleverness. If he stubbornly refused to admit it or played dumb, Ding Ning would gradually alienate him and eventually cut off contact with him, though he might not condemn him.
He knew that Ding Ning was a person who valued friendship and righteousness, so he told him frankly without concealing anything. He even put himself in a weak position to ask for help, and used their brotherhood to move Ding Ning, which made Ding Ning's anger dissipate for the most part.
"If there's anything you can't tell me in advance, how can I not help you? Why did you have to come up with these schemes and put me in such a passive position? Now, how do you think I should clean up this mess? "
Although the anger in his heart had dissipated, Ding Ning could not help but complain in a low voice.
Bai Qing smiled bitterly. When he let go of him, he looked at him apologetically and said quickly in a low voice, "Leave the rest to me. I'm here to clean up the mess."
Rays flashed in Ding Ning's eyes and he nodded slowly. It seemed like his show was almost over. But how was he going to explain to the old master that Bai Qing messed up the old master's birthday banquet like this?
Bai Qing turned around and clasped his fists at Tian Xuanzi, "Greetings, senior. My family has been disrespectful before, please forgive me."
Tian Xuanzi rolled his eyes and waved his hand casually, "Little kid, you are much more polite than that old thing. I'm a magnanimous man. I will forgive your Bai Clan for my brother's sake."
"Big brother, you are so magnanimous. No wonder you are the Heaven's Favorite in the Pugilistic World."
"Of course. Who in the Pugilistic World doesn't know that big brother is handsome and charming? Even the Vatican's Saintess fell in love with him. This is a great story in the Pugilistic World."
"Isn't that so? Big brother even won the Vatican's Saintess and she even gave birth to a child for big brother. This is definitely an honor for the country."
The three worshippers started to flatter Tian Xuanzi again and this time, Tian Xuanzi fell for it. Especially when the Vatican's Saintess gave birth to a daughter for him, it was the proudest thing in his life.
Thus, even though he knew that the three worshippers were exaggerating, Tian Xuanzi still raised his chin up and started to boast, "That's nothing. She is just a Vatican's Saintess. Not that I'm boasting, but if it weren't for the fact that I was busy back in the divine continent, the Snow Lady and Wolf Belle from the Dark Parliament would have already thrown themselves into my arms."
Ding Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this shameless man but he was curious about who the Snow Lady and Wolf Belle were.
"Hiss!"
The three worshippers all took in a deep breath and they stared at Tian Xuanzi with a gaze that sent chills down Ding Ning's spine. Immediately, they started to flatter Tian Xuanzi, "Oh my god, boss, you are so amazing! You even managed to win over the Snow Lady and Wolf Belle! They are the most famous beauties in the west!"
"That's right! Boss, you are so amazing! The Snow Lady, Wolf Belle, the Saintess, and the Golden Clan's dragon lady are the first in the history of the west to be listed in the Pugilistic World's Beauty Board. So many people want to see them but they can't. Who would've thought that you managed to win over the Saintess and the other two beauties are also interested in you?
"Boss, even if you eat meat, you should give us some soup. When you go to the west again, bring us along. We don't dare to hope for the beauties to fall for us, but if we can take a look at the beauties on the List of Beauties, we can die without regrets."
…
Ding Ning was dumbfounded and he couldn't help but ask, "What is the Pugilistic World's Beauty Board?"
"You don't even know this? One look and I can tell that you are just a … rookie in the Pugilistic World."
The great worshipper looked at Ding Ning in disdain. He wanted to mock Tian Xuanzi for being a brat but he suddenly remembered that Tian Xuanzi was his brother. Thus, he quickly changed his words and explained in a fawning tone, "Brother, you might not know this but the Pugilistic World's Beauty Board is a ranking of the beauties in the Pugilistic World. It only records the beauties with cultivation base. The list will be updated once every 20 years and only the top ten will be announced each time. Those who can enter the list are all beauties of the world. The Pugilistic World's Pugilistic World's Pugilistic World's Beauty Board was created by the Divine Continent's Pugilistic World's Pugilistic World's Pugilistic World's Beauty Board. The Saintess, Snow Lady, Wolf Belle, and Dragon Lady are the first western beauties to be listed on the list.
Beauties, you can tell how beautiful they are. Boss, you are able to win over beauties and even have a relationship with the Snow Lady and Wolf Belle. What a hero! "
At the end of his speech, the high priest did not forget to flatter Tian Xuanzi, causing Tian Xuanzi to stroke his beard happily.
Bai Qing was not a man of Wulin, so he was not interested in these things. He nodded slightly to the Three Great Gods, then turned around and walked toward the White Crane, who had been lying on the ground in a daze.
Noticing that Bai Qing had walked up to him, Bai He raised his blank eyes and looked at him without saying anything.
"Bai He, you've violated the laws of the country by holding a gun in the middle of the street. Now I'm going to hand you over to the police. Do you have any objections?"
Bai Qing looked at the white crane and said in a deep voice.
"Young Master Qing, you can't. Although Bai He acted on impulse, he is still a disciple of our Bai Family, and the grandson of the Family Head. If we hand him over to the police, wouldn't all the disciples of the Bai Family look down on us? Who would be willing to work for the family?"
A trace of cunning flashed in Granddad Zhong's eyes. He took a step forward and said righteously. Whether Bai He was dead or alive had nothing to do with him. He just wanted to arouse the common hatred of the Bai Family and attack Bai Qing's prestige.
"Who are you?"
Bai Qing's eyes were as sharp as knives. He stared at Granddad Zhong coldly and shouted.
"I … I'm Li Zhong, the butler. I'm afraid that everyone here knows me. Young Master Qing, what do you mean? Have you been in Ninghai for so long that you don't even know me? "
Granddad Zhong's face darkened. Previously, he had been ignored by Bai Qing, so he was full of anger. At this moment, seeing that Bai Qing pretended not to know him, he was instantly furious. He stared at Bai Qing fearlessly and said proudly.
The people of the Bai Family smelled the strong smell of gunpowder. Instantly, they kept silent and lowered their heads, not daring to get involved. After all, although Granddad Zhong was only a butler of the Bai Family, he was deeply favored and trusted by the Family Head. It was not an exaggeration to say that Bai Jing was Bai Jing's spokesperson. Although Bai Qing was highly valued by the Old Master, before he took over the position of the Family Head, he had to obey the orders of Bai Jing, the Family Head. This was the rule of the aristocratic families, which was not allowed to be broken.
"Li Zhong? Isn't your surname Bai? I thought you were the Family Head of the Bai Family. "
Bai Qing showed a look of sudden realization, but he casually put a big hat on Li Zhong.
Granddad Zhong's old face flushed. How could he dare to accept this hat? He said with grief and indignation, "My loyalty to the Bai Family can be proved by the sun and the moon. I always put the interests of the Bai Family first. Young Master Qing, don't talk nonsense and mess up the hierarchy of the Bai Family."
"Hierarchy? You also know the hierarchy?"
Bai Qing suddenly said harshly, "Looking at your behavior, people who don't know might think you are the Master of the Bai Family."
"Young Master Qing, don't make irresponsible remarks and slander me. I, Li Zhong, have always been loyal to the Bai Family. How can I not know the hierarchy?"
With tears in his eyes, Li Zhong passionately defended himself and tried to let everyone see Bai Qing clearly.
The corners of Bai Qing's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a strong sense of irony. "Slander. Since you say you know the hierarchy, do you know who I am?"
"You … you are Young Master Bai Qing of the first branch."
Li Zhong maintained the superficial respect, but a disdainful and cynical light flashed in his eyes.
"Oh, since you know who I am and that I am the lineal Young Master of the Bai Family, as the steward of the Bai Family, why did you openly oppose me when I made the decision to deal with Bai He? Is this what a steward should do? Tell me where is the hierarchy? "
Bai Qing's words were sharp, and he shouted like a sharp knife.
The onlookers immediately talked about it. "Right. Since Li Zhong is only a steward and a servant of the Bai Family, what qualification and power does he have to openly oppose the lineal Young Master when he makes a decision? This is obviously a behavior of not knowing the hierarchy."
"This …"
Hearing the whispers of the crowd, Li Zhong suddenly felt flustered, tongue-tied, and did not know what to do.
Speaking of it, relying on Bai Qing's favor, he had never taken Bai Qing seriously. That was why he thought himself clever and rashly interjected and openly opposed Bai Qing's opinion, leaving behind the accusation of not knowing the hierarchy.
In fact, Bai Qing was deliberately taking advantage of his mistakes and using his words to draw out the idea of the hierarchy, creating an impression among the onlookers that Bai Qing was a slave who bullied the master.
If it were an ordinary family, this kind of thing could not be established at all. After all, it was a new society where everyone was equal, and there was no distinction between nobility and inferiority.
But what kind of people were qualified to watch on the sidelines? They were all the privileged classes that were either rich or noble. In these aristocratic families, the concept of the hierarchy absolutely existed.
