Chapter 73
The Bai family, or a group that exists for protection.
Following Bai Jiuye to the Bai family, Tang Yan didn't feel excited at all.
Walking to the front of the huge building, a majestic palace thirty meters high appeared in Tang Yan's sight, this was definitely not an ordinary palace, she could almost be sure of this at a glance.
Although the palace is entirely wooden, and it is very likely that the material comes entirely from this giant wood forest, every part of the palace is covered with exquisite details, twelve carved columns, walls carved with frescoes on the entire side, and stacked hollowed-out sorghum. Everything here is a loud story of its own age and deep meaning.
As if he had long been accustomed to the existence of such a building, Bai Jiuye didn't even look at it, so he took Tang Yan around the tall building and walked towards the rear. After the construction, it is the real Bai family station.
Unlike the majestic and magnificent tall palace-like buildings, the entire Bai family seems too ordinary. Wooden houses with one floor and two floors are scattered a hundred meters away behind the tall buildings, like a small village in the deep forest.
As soon as she entered the 'village' gate, Tang Yan immediately saw two familiar faces-towards Bai Jiuye were the two brothers and sisters of Bai Egret and Bai Cheng.
The two of them were dressed in plain clothes, walking briskly, they hadn't seen each other for a year, except that Bai Cheng had grown a lot taller, the two of them seemed to be the same as before, the Bai family brothers and sisters had a good relationship with Tang Yan, Tang Yan saw the egret smiling from a distance, and the kind look in her eyes was cast.
"Little cousin." When Bai Cheng saw people, he immediately looked at Tang Yan and called him, for this girl who was the same age as himself, even shorter than his current self, but wanted to call his sister, he was reluctant at first, but when he was in the Tang family, this little cousin was too good to him, Bai Cheng was grateful, I don't know when, the title of little cousin he has already called it very smooth.
"Cousin, long time no see, you're finally here."
Bai Jiuye, who was particularly cold to her all the way, seemed to be infected by Bai Jiuye, who was also smiling, and turned to look at Tang Yan, "Tang Yan's little niece, you should go with me first, I will be reminiscing for a while, my father has been thinking about you for a long time." ”
This person's face changed faster than turning a book.
Tang Yan rolled her eyes, she knew that this person definitely didn't suddenly have a good impression of her, his ability to pretend was naturally familiar.
When he was in the Tang family, he pretended to have a bad temper in front of his father, and his words were tight again and again, so that his father quickly loosened his mouth and took her away.
Bai Lu listened to Bai Jiuye's little uncle's words, and she didn't dare to delay the person her grandfather wanted to see, "Cousin, then you go with your little uncle first, I'll let my brother pick you up in a while, and we'll get together again at lunchtime." ”
Tang Yan had no choice but to nod, "I'll see you later." ”
Following Bai Jiuye's footsteps passing by the inconspicuous and even some simple small houses of the Bai family, there was nothing special about the place where the head of the Bai family lived, at most it was larger than other houses, only one floor, and the area was not very small.
Walking into the door with double openings on the left and right, at a glance, a single chair was placed in front of the door against the wall, an elder who seemed to be in his fifties was sitting majestically, he was wide and broad, he seemed to be blessed because of his age, his body was fat, the elder's hair and beard were not yet white, and he was in good spirits, looking at Bai Jiuye and Tang Yan who entered the door with tiger eyes.
"Daddy." Beside him, Bai Jiuye called out the identity of the elder in front of him.
Tang Yan looked up at the person and shouted, "Grandpa." ”
Grandpa and granddaughter looked at each other, there was no family affection at all, but it was indescribably serious, the elder looked at Tang Yan silently for half a minute, and nodded slowly, "Your name is Tang Yan, right?" ”
"Yes." Tang Yan replied indifferently, she could see that the grandfather in front of her had no affection for her, so she didn't show the other party how happy she was to meet the elders.
"Disheng accepted you as an apprentice?"
This question made Tang Yan stunned, he was able to call Wu Zun by his name, and his grandfather's origin seemed to be not small.
"Yes." Hiding her thoughts in her heart, Tang Yan replied calmly.
At this time, the head of the Bai family seemed to be satisfied and nodded, "Being able to be favored by Emperor Sheng shows that you do have something that others don't have." He said in a slow tone, and Tang Yan listened carefully, so she continued, "But even if you have something outstanding, it's too risky to rush to that competition like this." ”
"Adventure?"
Tang Yan couldn't understand this, it was just a game, even if he lost, it was not strong enough, what does it have to do with taking risks? Is the Shikoku Grand Tournament a dangerous thing?
Bai Jiuye saw Tang Yan's doubts, he glanced at his father, and got a nod of agreement from his father, so he transferred the right to speak to himself, "Little girl, don't think that this competition is so simple." ”
For Bai Jiuye, Tang Yan didn't feel that he was an elder and needed to be respected, his age was about the same age as his brother Tang Feng, the old man of the Bai family could be regarded as an old man with this son, and not only because of his age, but also because he himself was not respectable, his personality was unpredictable, and there were too many masks on his face, who knew what kind of person he was?
"Only three people won the previous game between the Xuanjing Empire and the Fire Flame Empire, breaking the previous rule of advancing seven people, you must know about this matter, but what you don't know is how strong those three people are." Bai Jiuye's face was extremely serious when he spoke, and he seemed to know more about this matter than Tang Yan had received.
"So what? Tournaments are inevitable and must be visited. Tang Yan replied indifferently.
"I'm going, but it's not like you." Bai Jiuye didn't speak, and the incomprehensible one in front of Tang Yan spoke openly.
He looked at Tang Yan, Tang Yan also looked at him, the two looked at each other, but the other party did not continue the topic just now, he glanced at Bai Jiuye sideways, and ordered, "Take her to meet Yunshang first, as for those things, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”
Bai Jiuye pursed his lips unhappily when he heard this, "Come with me." ”
After speaking, he left his back to Tang Yan again......
It has been a few days since Bai Yunshang returned to the Bai family, two days ago, his father Bai Shishi suddenly proposed to see his daughter, Bai Yunshang was 10,000 happy to this, and his father wanted to see his own granddaughter, does that mean that he forgave him for eloping with his husband and leaving the Bai family? If the father can accept his daughter, it can be regarded as a matter of Bai Yunsheng's heart.
At this time, out of her grandfather's house, and followed Bai Jiuye out of the Bai family's 'village' Tang Yan knew that her mother did not live here at all, thinking of the caution and guilt when her mother mentioned the Bai family at home before, she understood what the situation was now.
It seems that the Bai family does not regard her mother as a family now, otherwise she would not be excluded, and she would not even live together.
Tang Yan was in a very bad mood, and was brought to this place inexplicably, Bai Jiuye also had a face as if he owed him how much money he owed, how to look at it was unpleasant.
"Are you really my mother a sister?" Tang Yan's voice suddenly remembered from behind, Bai Jiuye was stunned by this sudden question, and at the same time stopped and turned around, returning a cold face.
Seeing that he didn't plan to say anything to himself, Tang Yan narrowed his eyes, and suddenly the corners of his mouth hooked up a little, but there was no smile in his eyes, "Listen to Cousin Egret and Cousin Bai Cheng, little uncle, you are one of the best geniuses in the Bai family, right?" ”
Suddenly diverted the topic and said this, which Bai Jiuye did not expect in advance. Especially the redundant little uncle, it seems to be ironic about him.
"What the hell are you trying to say?" He looked at Tang Yan impatiently, clasping his hands in front of his chest, with a stinky face.
Tang Yan said lightly, unhurriedly, "I suddenly want to try how many catties and taels the Bai family has on the first day." ”
This kind of similar and provocative words came out of Tang Yan's mouth, but it aroused Bai Jiuye's interesting psychology, "There has never been a junior who has spoken to an elder like this. ”
"Hehe~" Tang Yan sneered, "Then do you think you are qualified to be an elder yourself?" ”
Without waiting for Bai Jiuye to argue, she blocked Bai Jiuye's mouth with another sentence, "I want to talk to the Bai family on the first day, you should want to give me this opportunity, right?" ”
From the moment she received her silver needle from Bai Jiuye of the Tang family yesterday, she could feel the temptation in his eyes when he looked at her, as well as a hint of war. Although the war intent is not strong, it can also expand the war intent several times because of a few words, such as the current scene.
Bai Jiuye grinned, "Okay, then let's come." ”
His character is not the kind of person who likes to drag mud and water, and when he said it, the moment his words fell, his body had already moved, and he walked towards Tang Yan's direction.
At the same time, Tang Yan smiled faintly, she didn't choose to dodge, but went head-on, she also wanted to experience what the Bai family's genius killer was capable of.
The two figures, one white and one black, met in an instant, and then, a dazzling move had been divided and combined more than a dozen times in an instant, Tang Yan's flying cloud step body was agile and elegant, so fast that people could only see the white shadow skipping by, and Bai Jiuye was not bad, although his figure was not as fast as Tang Yan, but his accurate judgment allowed him to dodge all of Tang Yan's attacks in an instant.
The two people are purely hand-to-hand, relying on their body skills and experience, and the competition is completely whose killing is higher. A move to lock the throat, cut the bone, and shoot towards the opponent's vital point, but at the same time, the opponent's body is neatly dodged.
In the high-speed movement, Tang Yan smiled, but she had a slight regret in her heart, her clothes were really too unsuitable for hands, but fortunately, Bai Jiuye's body was good, and her reaction was fast enough, and this skillful fighting could also bring her some fun.
