Chapter 468: Everyone in the World Is Stupid
Old Lady Ji looked at Bai Hao, and then looked at Ji Jing with a bewitching appearance like Ouyang Yu in her beauty and couldn't help but pause for a moment, before she sighed slightly and said, "Jing'er, you go upstairs first, I have something very important to discuss with Bai Hao alone." ”
"Oh......" Ji Jing first glanced at his father, and then flattened his mouth, put his legs down and was about to put on slippers, but was pulled by Bai Hao: "Huh?"
"Is there anything you can say to me, an outsider, that you can't tell your granddaughter about it!" Bai Hao's words were a little mocking, and his eyes looked at Old Lady Ji with some teasing.
Ji Jing wanted to spend a while with Bai Hao because she hadn't seen him for a long time, but her grandmother had already spoken, and she didn't dare to say no directly, but since Bai Hao wanted her to stay, it would be another matter, so although she didn't speak, she didn't leave obediently, but looked at Mrs. Ji pitifully.
"Bai Hao, what I want to say is what interests you the most, and I have already decided to compromise before I called you. Old Lady Ji said very implicitly, but she accentuated the word compromise, she was sure that Bai Hao would definitely understand what she meant, and she could also figure out what she was worried about.
After all, getting Ji Jing to avoid hearing their conversation was also a way to protect the ancient book, however......
"Come on, I know what you're worried about, but what does it matter, you let me here because you trust my judgment and thoughts, don't you? Bai Hao looked at Mrs. Ji, and also didn't say it clearly, but the meaning was already very clear, Mrs. Ji, the head of the family, was not done for nothing, she should understand what he said!
Old Lady Ji couldn't help frowning slightly when she heard Bai Hao say this, looking at the latter's determined look, Ban Xiang made a compromise again, and said, "Okay, that's the case, I've thought about what you said before, and I think what you said makes sense." ”
"I think I have a point. Bai Hao nodded, responded unceremoniously and asked, "Then you said that I would be interested in something, does it mean that you have thought about what to do?"
"Yes. Old Mrs. Ji looked at Bai Hao, although the excitement and expectation she expected from Bai Hao and even the bright look in her eyes did not happen, but she still had to do what she had thought about before, so she said again: "I decided to give you that set for free!"
Old Mrs. Ji made up her mind to say what she said, but in Bai Hao's ears, she only smiled at him, and she didn't even speak, her indifferent expression seemed to have known that there would be such a result, and she didn't feel happy at all.
And his reaction made Mrs. Ji puzzled: "What do you mean by this reaction?
"Of course not. Bai Hao shrugged, snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and said: "I already knew that there would be a day when I talked to you last time, smart people know it in their hearts, and you, as the head of the family, will of course choose the best choice to support the entire Ji family, should I be surprised?"
Bai Hao's organization is very clear, and the tone of his speech has not changed at all, but his faint smile has a sense of profundity that can be perceived.
"Good boy, the psychological element is good enough. Old Mrs. Ji smiled helplessly when she heard Bai Hao's words: "That's why you dared to destroy the scroll last time, right?"
"It doesn't matter with the psychological element, it's just that because I've memorized the content and can even memorize it backwards, it's dispensable to me. Bai Hao didn't deliberately hide it, his memory is already very amazing, as long as he has read it once, he can remember it clearly, not to mention that he has read the content of that book more than once, and now even if he asks him to draw one, there is no pressure.
You can squander what you don't care about!
"I wonder what you're going to do with the gift I gave you. After Mrs. Ji heard Bai Hao's words, the worry in her heart couldn't help but surface.
She was worried that if one day Bai Hao also memorized the content of the next volume, would she not care about the next volume...... And although Bai Hao can not care about this matter, but their Ji family has the responsibility and obligation to protect these two books, and it may be good to destroy them as a last resort, but if it is made public and causes trouble, it will be difficult to escape the blame......
Mrs. Ji still had a lot of worries, but because Bai Hao didn't let Ji Jing leave, and she had to say a little more restrained, she couldn't help frowning for a while, her back was straight, and she looked a little impetuous.
"Heh, since you said that you were going to give it to me, of course it was up to me to decide that thing, and all the guarantees I gave you at this time were just red mouths and white teeth, does it make sense to say it?" Bai Hao said indifferently: "I have the purpose and reason for wanting these two books, but as for what I want to do, there is no need to say it now." ”
"Aren't you worried that talking like this will make me change my mind?" Old Lady Ji's brows were still tightly wrinkled, every time she talked to Bai Hao, she felt very tired, this kind of battle of wits and courage made her exhausted, especially this time, in the face of Bai Hao's carelessness, she felt powerless and helpless.
The sense of powerlessness came from Bai Hao's refusal to even say a word that reassured her, and the helplessness was because although Bai Hao was so careless and inappropriate, the only person she could think of so far was Bai Hao, and there was no better choice......
"You wouldn't have changed your mind about such a big matter, or you wouldn't have let me come before, and I believe you didn't call me here for repeated temptations. Bai Hao looked at Mrs. Ji and said very surely, and after seeing the latter pull out a helpless smile, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.
He knew that even if Mrs. Ji really wanted to believe in herself, she wouldn't be so happy, and he didn't know if this half box of cigarettes would last until she took out the ancient books.
"Jing'er, you go upstairs first, otherwise go to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee for Bai Hao." Mrs. Ji gave Ji Jing two choices, and the meaning of these two choices was obviously to break her up.
"Coffee and half sugar, thank you!" Bai Hao squinted at Ji Jing according to the meaning of Mrs. Ji, and looked at the figure of the latter running to the kitchen and did not rush to speak, he knew very well in his heart that the old lady in front of him had a lot of words waiting to be said in her stomach.
"Aren't you worried about Ouyang Yu knowing about this matter?" Old Lady Ji finally asked this out, her voice was very low, for fear of being heard by Ji Jing, although she loved her little granddaughter very much, but she was Ouyang Yu's daughter, and the mother-daughter relationship was deep, so she had to think about it.
"What is there to worry about! If she knew about this, she wouldn't have been staring at your Ji family, isn't that good? You are this age, don't you want to live a few days of comfortable life?" Bai Hao shrugged his shoulders and smiled calmly, but he also lowered his voice.
Not only did Mrs. Ji not want this to be heard by Ji Jing, but he also didn't want Ji Jing to be affected by this, after all, Ouyang Yu, the invincible mother, could be said to be a superwoman in Ji Jing's heart, and even her idol, and he had no intention of ruining the dream of a simple girl.
Even if Ouyang Yu was already wrong in his opinion, he still wouldn't involve Ji Jing in it, let alone provoke their mother-daughter relationship!
"I made the Ji family what it is today, just to better protect these two books! To put it bluntly, I don't care about this matter until I die!" Old Lady Ji sighed slightly, glanced back at the kitchen, and then whispered: "Ouyang Yu is now setting up another portal, and even threatening me with ancient books, how can you let me not think about it!"
Bai Hao pursed his lips, put the unfinished half of the cigarette on the edge of the ashtray, and said very seriously: "You know my ability, it's no problem to protect these two books, let Ouyang Yu know that the ancient books are in my hands, can't you leave the life you were stared at before, why not!"
Bai Hao didn't elaborate on his thoughts, but letting the Ji family completely avoid this matter was something he had been thinking about, after all, the more people involved in this matter, the more troublesome it was, and it was better for him to control it alone, so it would be easier to improvise.
"Compared with the development of my Ji family, I care more about the safety of ancient books. Old Mrs. Ji still lowered her voice, and when she asked about the aroma of coffee, she sped up and said, "Why don't you take the book away first, so that Ouyang Yu will always think about the Ji family, so ......"
"I have my thoughts. Bai Hao interrupted Old Lady Ji's words and shook his head and said, "There is no record of the location of the dragon seal in the second volume of the ancient book, what are you worried about?"
Bai Hao left Ji Jing in order to let Ouyang Yu know that the ancient book had arrived in his hands, but looking at Old Lady Ji's reaction at the moment, it was obvious that she would not agree with him doing so, so if he wanted to get the ancient book quickly, he would probably need to spend some effort.
Thinking about it, she picked up half a cigarette and took a puff, slowly spit out a smoke ring, and looked at the old lady Ji opposite and waited for her to express her concerns.
"Although the location is not recorded in the second volume of the ancient book, some of the words imply the approximate location of the place, if I understand correctly...... I'm afraid that the deadline for keeping the dragon seal is about to expire......" Old Lady Ji sighed slightly: "There are not one or two people staring at the dragon seal, if the dragon seal comes out, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"When is the shelf life?" Bai Hao couldn't help but wonder when he heard Mrs. Ji's words, this ancient book should have been there a long time ago, but the dragon seal was still in his father's hands, how could it be that the dragon seal would be hidden somewhere after the ancient book......
There was an obvious time difference in this matter, which made Bai Hao can't help but have some doubts about the authenticity of it.
"It should be less than two years. Old Lady Ji pursed her lips slightly, and said in a lower voice: "Although I believe in your strength, but the dragon seal is not something that anyone can take, according to ancient books, the dragon seal has already recognized the lord a long time ago, except for the dragon family, whoever gets the dragon seal is useless, and it may even bring disaster." ”
"Oh?" Bai Hao raised his eyebrows, noncommittal about the truth of his words, but even if it was true, what if it was?
"Everyone is stupid, and that's the main reason why I have to protect ancient books from being seen by anyone. And after Mrs. Ji sighed at this, Bai Hao frowned!
