Chapter Twenty-Three: A Tempting Offer
### 23
However, the things in the sky of Dragon City were not noticed by anyone, and at this time, the entire Zhenbei Houfu was filled with the joy and excitement of the celebration, although Jiang Ran had proposed that since Bai Qingluo had to be left, and his own life was also protected, then he didn't have to let Bai Qingluo continue to recruit himself as the son-in-law of the Zhenbei Houfu.
However, Jiang Ran's proposal was directly rejected by Marquis Bai, and the reason given by General Bai was that if his daughter could fully control her ability, then she would be proposed by many forces that he could not refuse, such as the imperial family. After all, now the imperial realm is also in a chaotic period of the transfer and replacement of new and old forces, and Zhenbei Hou is already an extremely seriously suppressed family, not only Bai Hou Ye has come down from the position of the general of the imperial Zhenbei Houfu, but even the thirteen cities in the Northern Cold Region that were once under the name of Zhenbei Houfu are now directly under the management of the empire.
Faced with such a situation, although Jiang Ran wanted to refuse directly, he couldn't help but be a little moved when he saw General Bai tell so sincerely, so Jiang Ran proposed to Bai Houye
"Then can you use the name of engagement to top the top for a while, wait for the new deal to blow over, I think you will be much better at that time?"
Jiang Ran obviously understands that the empire's rectification of these old families cannot shake its fundamentals, for forces like Xiangzhenbei Houfu, the most important thing is not military power, nor local forces, but Bai Houye's earth-shattering cultivation, as long as Bai Houye's strength is still there, then the empire must leave a hand no matter what it does, and dare not force it too urgently, that is to say, as long as Bai Hou Ye does not fall, Zhenbei Houfu will not fall.
After hearing Jiang Ran's proposal, Bai Hou Ye frowned slightly and thought for a while
"Actually, according to your inference, it is true that for the Zhenbei Houfu before Qingluo's treatment, the effect of engagement and marriage is indeed similar as you said, and our Zhenbei Houfu will not continue to be passive like this during this difficult period in the past, but"
When Bai Hou Ye said these words, he was full of confidence, but in the end, he still looked at Jiang Ran
"But now I have a plan"
Before Bai Hou Ye could tell the details of the plan, Jiang Ranque frowned and replied in a low voice
"Sure enough, you think so, but what about my interests?"
"Regardless of the old things, my mother and you are equal and reciprocal, and there is no one who owes whom"
"Bai Qingluo and I were the same before, although she and you saved my life together, but I also helped her a lot, and I also don't owe both."
"Then why should I accompany you to do the fake marriage bureau?"
Bai Hou Ye thought to himself, now Bai Qingluo has no hidden danger of ability at all, in the face of such a powerful genius, what the entire Zhenbei Houfu lacks the most is time, if there is enough time to drag Bai Qingluo to grow up, it will be the victory of the Zhenbei Houfu.
Bai Hou Ye continued to think in his heart, if he and Jiang Ran played the same good role as the previous idea, then he could successfully hide the eyes of the empire, and if Bai Qingluo's ability was evenly distributed according to the surface plan, that kind of Bai Qingluo would obviously not receive too much attention from the empire, and the matter of Bai Qingluo's cure itself could continue to be concealed.
Bai Hou Ye believes that in five years, it may not even take five years, his daughter Bai Qingluo will be able to achieve the same combat power as himself, and what the Bai family lacks most now is a helper who is about the same as his own combat power, so that in the next 'Imperial Cultivation Seminar' held by the empire, he and Bai Qingluo can participate together to fight for a bright future in the Beihou Mansion.
At this time, Bai Hou Ye was shocked by Jiang Ran's judgment again, he was the party concerned, so of course he would think about things more thoroughly, but Jiang Ran was an outsider, and he deduced his own ideas and strategies just from some simple understanding on the side, and the super ability that could have sealed other people's abilities made Bai Hou Ye put Jiang Ran in a very high position in his heart, but thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise Jiang Ran from his heart to a higher level.
Although he was surprised in his heart, Bai Hou Ye continued to inquire expressionlessly
"Isn't it the best reward for you to succeed in joining my Bai family, you must know that Bai Qingluo is the only descendant of our Bai family, and if you become a rich family, I will definitely not treat you as an ordinary son-in-law, I will give you resources to help you grow, Bai Qingluo She is dedicated to cultivation, and you will be the next generation of Zhenbei Hou, isn't this enough?"
Jiang Ran quipped as if he had heard something funny
"Bai Hou Ye, you are laughing, my pattern will be so small, in this strong Tianling Continent, just have one side of the force, how dare you say that you can be unrestrained, even if you are as strong as Bai Hou Ye, you will be suppressed by the empire, the game of all forces, this kind of life is not what I am looking for, the big husband should be determined to be in the heaven and earth, how can he be in the quagmire of power?"
General Bai couldn't help but be silent when he heard Jiang Ran's youthful and vigorous words, yes, although he was the umbrella of the Zhenbei Houfu, although he had great power, the same burden was also on his shoulders.
If it weren't for this, this heaven and earth would definitely be like when he was young, when Bai Lin had not inherited the power of Zhenbeihou, he was young and roamed the Heavenly Spirit Continent, adventuring everywhere, exploring the ancient relics and pursuing the opportunity to become stronger.
Thinking of this, General Bai suddenly felt that what he said before was a little ridiculous, but the responsibility could only persist again, so he said to Jiang Ran
"Five years"
"I'll give you a chance to stand tall in the world."
"The "Nanming Fire Talisman" is divided into two symbols, yin and yang, and only one of them is considered a fire treasure."
"What I lent to your mother more than ten years ago was the "Nanming Lihuo Yin Talisman", and there is another one that is the real heirloom of my Bai family for generations."
"Nanming Leaving the Fire Yang Talisman"
"Now I feel that the Yin Charm has been buried in your body by your mother to suppress the cold. ”
"If you agree, I will lend you the Nanming Fire Yang Talisman for another five years. ”
"Double conformity and combination will give you a great opportunity"
Speaking of this, Bai Houye's eyes were slightly crazy, and he sorted out his emotions a little and stopped talking.
Jiang Ran was naturally hung by Bai Houye, and his appetite was very uncomfortable, so he hurriedly asked
"What is the fate about, you must know if you want to come to Master Hou, or tell your son-in-law in advance?"
When Bai Houye heard the change in his name in Jiang Ran's words, he understood that Jiang Ran had already agreed to his proposal, thinking of the bright future of the Bai family in the future, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly and responded to Jiang Ran
"A Chance About the Order of Fire"
