1. Pretending to fail
"You have to win this time, or you'll be betrayed, this world...... Is there anything worse than me?"
The young man was dressed in white, holding a sword in his right hand, pointing at the sky, as if he was not facing his opponent, but was about to cut through the sky with his sword. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The jade tree was in the wind, attracting the admiration of countless girls around the martial arts arena.
…… Well, in fact, it was his maids Phantom Qiao and Xiaorui who were covering their mouths and exclaiming, "The young master is so handsome", as for the other women of the Bai family, they all watched coldly, with expressions of disdain or disdain.
"Bai Luyuan, your hands are shaking again! Hold the sword steady, don't hit your feet!" The young man in Tsing Yi on the opposite side lazily pulled out a big knife that was also glowing with blue light, and looked at Bai Luyuan playfully and pityingly.
Bai Luyuan turned a blind eye to the overlooking eyes, his eyes froze, and a meaningful chuckle flashed at the corner of his mouth.
A trace of clear qi in the body was like a ray of heavenly light, surging from the limbs to the right hand, like an invisible cold light, quickly gathering towards the sword blade in the hand.
Good fast sword. There was obviously only one sword, but it was like three swords attacking the young man in Tsing Yi in front of him at the same time.
The swords clashed. One move wins and loses. Immediate opinion.
There was a sound of gold and iron breaking. Phantom and Xiaorui covered their mouths and forgot to shout. Those girls who were originally cold-eyed and full of disdain on their faces...... It has become even more disdainful!
"Cut!" someone shook his head in disappointment.
With just one move, Bai Luyuan's long sword was cut into three pieces by Bai Qiang, a young man in Tsing Yi!
This white road is far away, not only as always, but also even more hopelessly!
One of the middle-aged men sitting on the stone chair in the martial arts arena had angular facial features that were somewhat similar to Bai Luyuan. At this moment, he was staring at Bai Luyuan, who was standing in the center of the martial arts field, with a little disappointment and sadness in his eyes.
It wasn't until other martial arts teenagers appeared one after another that Bai Luyuan hatefully kicked the broken sword on the ground, turned around and ran off the field.
"Bai Qiang, you kid wants to kill me!" Running to a remote stone formation, Bai Luyuan grabbed Bai Qiang and said hatefully.
"Don't look at how many catties and taels you have, do you still need to be harmed like this?" Bai Qiang didn't bother to push Bai Luyuan's hand away, and said with a grin.
Bai Luyuan: "Say good things, are you going to admit it?"
"What are you talking about? The dignified son of the Baimeng Ridge Lord, he actually bought off the opponent's martial arts competition and cheated, and let me pretend to lose to you? Do you want me to report all this to the Bai Nan Ridge Lord and all the elders?!" The smile on Bai Qiang's face froze, and the color of contempt was even worse.
"Bai Luyuan, how could the Bai family come up with such a cowardly bag like you!" Bai Qiang continued to sneer, "Not only is the physique very rubbish, but even the IQ is rubbish! I really don't know what the Lord of Bai Nanling and the elders think, the Bai family wants to rise, relying on a future strong man like me, not relying on you to sell yourself as a son-in-law in exchange for the protection and salvation of other tribes!"
Speaking of this, Bai Qiang's face was righteous and stern. Bai Luyuan's face twitched when he heard this.
"You have a point! I don't want to be that son-in-law. Bai Luyuan agreed, "But ...... Since you gave up the transaction, should you return the hundred red dragon silkworms you accepted from me?!"
"Yes?" Bai Qiang scratched his head, "Who can prove that I have received a hundred red dragons from you?"
There was a sound of footsteps, and the maids Phantom and Xiaorui had already walked towards the side of the stone henge. Bai Qiang snorted and swaggered away, leaving Bai Luyuan with a painful expression on his face.
That's a hundred Red Dragon Silkworms! If you put them in the outside world, they can all be used to change a beginner exercise! You know, just a few thousand Red Dragon Silkworms are enough to make a small tribe in the outside world feel hot, and even a scramble or even a small brawl will occur.
These 100 dragon silkworms are all prepared by him for many years to forge the first battle suit in his life after reaching the realm in the future!
Now, Bai Qiang reversed his word and did not help him get by, but he took away his hundred dragon silkworms with peace of mind.
"Young master, your face is so ugly. It's still much more handsome in the martial arts arena just now!" The maid Xiaorui had already approached and smiled.
"Young master, don't worry too much, that girl of the Yun family is a little ugly, maybe there are many advantages that we haven't discovered yet!"
What a world? Now even these two little maids have learned to tease him!
"Don't mention that ugly woman to me!" As soon as the ugly girl surnamed Yun was mentioned, Bai Luyuan wanted to die.
In the past few years, the mulberry field of Baimengling has been coveted by the outside world, Bai Nan led several elders to resist several waves of provocation and harassment before and after, as the provocateur force is getting stronger and stronger, the Bai family has been obviously weak to deal with recently, and there is a tendency to be precarious.
What's even more serious is that some slightly stronger elders are passing away one after another, and most of the younger generation of the Bai family have mediocre qualifications, and those who are slightly outstanding, such as Bai Qiang and Bai Yeping, are only relatively top-notch in the clan, and they are only middle-level and lower-level assets in the outside world.
In desperation, I don't know which of the second elders came up with an idea, saying that instead of being eaten up and annexed by the strong clan, it is better to take the initiative to contact some strong clans with good strength and reputation, and cooperate with them.
If it is annexed, the industry of Baimengling will be carved up, and the Bai family may be wiped out. And joining forces with the strong clan and getting the protection of the strong clan is just a certain proportion of the distribution of benefits, and Baimengling can still operate normally. With the growing demand for battle clothes and armor in recent years, Baimengling can still maintain a high income after being divided, maintaining the survival and development of the whole clan.
Supposedly, this is indeed a wise choice. However, there is another elder who is even more second, and he proposed that in order to achieve a truly stable and solid alliance, it cannot only rely on sharing, and if it can add the relationship of in-laws, it will be perfect!
What's even worse is that his father Bai Nan really agreed to this egg-hurting plan! Because, it just so happened that Bai Nan befriended a man surnamed Yun who was said to be very righteous. Knowing the Bai family's plan, Yun Xiaojiang, the master of the Cloud Gate, didn't blink his eyes, and immediately agreed.
The elders of Baimeng Ridge were overjoyed. According to rumors, Yun Xiaojiang broke through the "Flood Cultivation" and directly entered the realm of "Fengyun Cultivation"!
You must know that his father Bai Nan has been in the realm of "Flood Wilderness Cultivation" for so many years, not to mention several elders. Yun Xiaojiang's strength was completely one order higher than them, and with his help, the Bai family didn't have to worry about anyone in the entire Kuling Realm anymore.
Yun Xiaojiang not only agreed to cooperate and share, but also directly agreed to the marriage.
Doesn't this allow Bai Luyuan to sell himself in exchange for asylum? As a ...... who stands up to the sky and the earth? Cowardice is also dignified. Therefore, from the very beginning, Bai Luyuan lodged a serious protest to his father.
It wasn't until later that Bai Luyuan happened to meet the legendary Yun Xiaojiang at a trading conference, and was fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of the daughter of the Yun family behind him...... Bai Luyuan's protest was even more resolute.
Bai Luyuan dared to swear by the personality of a coward, that girl was definitely the ugliest girl he had ever seen when he was so old! Persimmon face, triangular eyes, garlic nose...... He was sure that if it weren't for the identity of the Yun family's daughter, she wouldn't have been able to enter the door of the trade fair at all.
If you can choose between marrying her as a wife and Zigong, Bai Luyuan will definitely choose Zigong!
Hunger strike, exodus...... The way he can think of, Bai Luyuan has tried it.
Seeing that he was very determined to refuse to marry, his father finally made accommodation.
That is, as long as he cultivates well, at least ...... In the martial arts arena half a year later, if he can go through ten moves in the hands of Bai Qiang of the same age, his father can reconsider the marriage.
Father's so-called accommodating behavior is simply difficult in Bai Luyuan's opinion. Everyone knows that he has not been cultivating since Bai Luyuan hit his mother's womb.
When the teenagers of the same age in the clan had already refined to the seventh-line heaven, he was only the third-line heaven;
When the teenagers of the same age in the clan had already refined to the tenth-line heaven, he was only the third-line heaven;
When the teenagers of the same age in the clan had already broken through to the realm of "Qianmo Cultivation", he was only a third-tier sky;
When a few teenagers in the clan had already touched the higher "Shuimu Xiu", he was still a thunderous third-line sky!
Bai Qiang is one of the few teenagers in the clan who has touched "Shuimu Xiu"! The gap between Bai Luyuan and him is not an exaggeration to describe the difference between heaven and earth.
It is precisely because of this that a pure and good boy like Bai Luyuan was forced to make crooked moves. In order to become a husband and wife different from the cloud girl who was so ugly that it affected world peace, Bai Luyuan did not hesitate to take out a hundred red dragon silkworms, bribe Bai Qiang's subordinates to show mercy, and help him get through the competition in the martial arts arena.
Although it is inevitable that he will be exposed by his father afterwards, it is also a good thing to be able to delay the engagement when the time comes.
"Bai Qiang, do you want to take advantage of the fire to rob it? I'm afraid that those hundred red dragons will only be kept in your hands for three days, and they will be returned to their original owners!" Bai Luyuan's originally painful face was a little relieved.
