The Bai Mansion is not difficult to find, as the largest family in the city lord over the years, the Bai family is not only spreading its own influence in the Drifting Snow City, but also building its own house more and more atmospheric, and the tall mansion can be seen from afar. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
knocked on the door, and what came out was the housekeeper in the front yard, not as low-key as the Xue family, the housekeeper saw that although Xue An's face was handsome now, he didn't look like a person in a big family, and his attitude towards welcoming guests was a little cold. replied half-rejectedly, took Xue An's greeting, closed the door, and locked Xue An out.
After a while, the door of the White Mansion opened again, and the housekeeper's attitude was still indifferent, saying that he wanted to lead Xue An to meet the head of the family. Along the way, when Xue An looked around curiously, he would look at Xue An with a very sharp look, as if to say, "People from small families are so ignorant of the rules."
Although the Bai Mansion looks magnificent on the outside, it is still the house before its origins, and the inside is not as spacious as the Xue Mansion, which shows that compared with the ancient family, it is less rich after all. After only a few steps, he entered the main hall, and the head of the Bai family was looking at it with the greeting card handed by Xue An.
"Are you from the Meng family, and you want to see Uncle Chang Geng?" The Meng family is just a third-rate family in Drifting Snow City, barely counted in the category of the big family, and the younger generations of the Meng family came to visit him, the head of the family, who should not have come forward. It's just that the object of the visit is Bai Changgeng, who is the heaviest in the Bai family, and the Meng family has something to do with the old man of the sword in the Xue Mansion, so he has to pay attention to it. Originally, he wanted to refuse after such an eventful time, but he didn't dare to care about the affairs of Old Man Bai Changgeng.
"Yes, junior Meng Changsheng. Xue An didn't say much, lowered his head, and tried his best to be respectful and humble.
"What happened?"
"Studying. The Meng Mansion is down, the inheritance in the clan is not as good as the Bai Mansion, and several brothers died in the expeditionary army, and now the Meng Mansion is almost unable to support it. The elders in the family have an old relationship with the old man Bai Changgeng, so they want to send me to the old man to do tricks, at least so that the Meng family will not be ruined. β
The head of the Bai family stared at Xue An for a long time, and then said straight to the point:
"The elders in the family you are talking about are Xue Mansion Dao Yichuan?"
"Yes. Xue An didn't hide it, and he didn't explain much, he was just an ignorant teenager who was sent by his family to learn art.
"Alright, take it to my uncle. Remember to remind him not to run away, be careful of losing his life. The head of the Bai family waved his hand at the housekeeper, signaling that Xue An could be brought into the backyard. The Bai family's tricks are famous in Drifting Snow City, and some families related to their in-laws often send their juniors to learn some tricks as a trick to save their lives in the wasteland, after all, not every family's inheritance is as strong as the first-class families like the Xue Mansion and the Bai family.
After the housekeeper took Xue An out of the main hall, he said as if it was a routine:
"Remember the way I took you, someone will arrange food and lodging for you, don't walk around, it doesn't matter if you die, it's a big sin for the corpse to shock the female relatives of the family. β
Old Man Bai has actually never taught his disciples in person for many years, and even in the Bai family, few people dare to disturb Old Man Bai in ordinary times. The housekeeper also sent Xue An to the door of a quiet courtyard and stopped moving forward, and gave a deep salute to the courtyard before turning around and retreating.
Old Man Bai pushed open the courtyard door and came out, looking like he was just an ordinary old man, and he didn't want the old man to have the kind of strong temperament that could shock people's hearts. Even this old white man, who has been famous in Drifting Snow City for decades, looks much thinner than ordinary people, and he looks like he is about to fall when the wind blows.
"Dao Yichuan asked you to come, he didn't teach you himself, let me teach?" Bai Changgeng read the letter sent by the old man Dao, the letter was easy-going and even a little pleading, asking him to personally teach this Meng family boy the technique. If he hadn't recognized the old man's handwriting, he would definitely have thought that the letter was a forgery. A madman like Dao Yichuan has only been respectful to his master Xue Fan in his life, where can he be so polite when talking to him Bai Changgeng.
And he understands the old man of the knife, as long as he is not forced to do so, the old man of the knife will never ask for help.
"I was born with a bad soul, and I can't take the path of the old man who relies on his skills to get out of danger, but because my family is depressed and urgently needs someone to support the faΓ§ade, I asked the old man to recommend me to come to you to learn the trick. β
When Bai Changgeng heard Xue An say this, he snorted and spat out the cold air, and half-turned around:
"Are you insulting my vision? Your bones have obviously awakened, and you are strong and solid to be better than ordinary people, although you are a little clumsy, it is not a big deal. Look at your full spirit, your soul is almost vigorous, and it is obvious that your soul has also awakened. As long as you polish with the knife Yichuan for a few years, you are a good hand in the wilderness, where can you come to me to learn the trick?
Besides, others don't know, but I do. Dao Yichuan never asked for help in his life, although you are the younger generation of his maternal Meng family, he will not make an exception for you. β
"Senior Bai, I actually ......" Xue An opened his mouth to explain.
"Okay, no matter what the reason, I have long since stopped accepting disciples. For the sake of Dao Yichuan who saved me in his early years, I will find you another master of mechanical skills in Baifu to be your master. β
As he spoke, Bai Changgeng turned around and walked towards his small courtyard.
Xue An was also surprised to see that Old Man Bai refused so simply, but he couldn't think of anything to do in a hurry. It's just that when I think about it, a lie may not be as effective as telling the truth:
"Senior Bai, I want to learn from you how to kill and injure fierce beasts. β
"You can't learn that. Bai Changgeng didn't even reply, he had seen a lot of whimsical people like Xue An, and he thought that he could learn how to kill fierce beasts from him.
"I've slain beasts. β
"What?!" Bai Changgeng turned his head suddenly, his expression was very serious, and a pair of eyes stared at Xue An like an eagle, wanting to see if this little cub was talking nonsense.
"A snow lynx with a soul jade in its body. β
"How to kill it?" Bai Changgeng walked in front of Xue An in a few steps, still staring at Xue An's eyes tightly, observing every trace of emotion in Xue An's eyes.
"Smash its head with his hand. Xue An was very calm.
"Nonsense, impossible!" Bai Changgeng was very angry, he knew that he might be the only one who knew how to kill the fierce beast, but the method was by no means as simple as Xue An said. He has been living in seclusion all these years, in fact, he has been perfecting his method of hunting fierce beasts, and Xue An's understatement made him feel insulted by his hard work for so many years.
"I swear by the mercy of God to me and the souls of my fathers!" is almost the most solemn oath in the world, and if it is deceived by such an oath, the effect of the repercussion is extremely strong.
For a long time, seeing that Xue An was still standing straight in front of him and was not swallowed by the oath, Bai Changgeng's eyes lit up. He thought that after so many years of research, he had found the only way to kill the beast, but now it seemed that it was not.
"Do you have a wife, or a woman you love?" the old man suddenly asked coldly.
"Nope. "Xue An has only been in this world for half a month, so naturally he doesn't, and the love debt left by Xiaopang should not be counted on him.
"That's good, as long as you promise me that you won't marry a wife or have children in this life and this life, I will be your master. β
