Liyuan City, covering an area of 10,000 miles, is vast and wide, and it is also the core city of the Southern Wilderness, with many clans, and there are hundreds of large and small clans, but the real controller of Liyuan City is still the Bai family, which dominates thousands of miles and is powerful.

The Bai family's mansion stands in the northwest of the bustling street, at the magnificent vermilion lacquer gate, two sturdy and seemingly well-cultivated family members have sharp eyes, looking at the pedestrians on the street from time to time, like two door gods.

In front of the gate, it was actually decorated with agate, white jade as the step, and two huge and hideous stone carvings of Rui Beasts, all kinds of details showed the status of the Bai family at a glance.

Within the gate wall, the topography of the courtyard is even more complex and staggered, and you can vaguely see many small roads, there are some maids hurrying over with things, look at this appearance, the Bai family should be receiving a guest with a high status.

Follow the path all the way to the living room, and there is a faint burst of hearty laughter inside.

In the hall, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe, about forty years old, sat on the main seat, with a strong momentum, and there was a hidden majesty between his eyebrows. But at this time, he stretched his brows, and laughed loudly with the black-robed old man who was sitting in the guest seat: "Elder Xu, don't embarrass me, it's not that my Bai family is unwilling to form a family with the royal family, but that this kid has a strange temper and only wants to cultivate, although I am his father, I can't make decisions for his life." ”

"Hehe, Bai Patriarch, Bixia intends to marry the Bai family this time, I am an elder who runs errands and delivers letters, where do I dare to embarrass you. Ling Gongzi Bailong is like a talent, he is already a strong man in Dingyuan Realm at a young age, he is naturally only worthy of our Princess Ning Xi, I hope that the Bai patriarch will think about it, Bixia will explain that I must promote this good thing, so that the Bai family and the royal family will be close to each other. The black-robed old man stroked his beard and smiled, although his words were polite, but with a little dissatisfaction.

The man sitting on the throne is the current patriarch of the Bai family, Bai Xuanjing, and the old man in the black robe is a guest elder of the current dynasty, with a high status, and he came here today to represent the dynasty Bixia to marry the Bai family, and to marry his youngest daughter Ning Xi to the most outstanding genius of the third generation of the Bai family.

Now the sects are rising, restricting the imperial power, making the influence of the royal family not as good as before, and it is extremely decaying. The current royal family is just a slightly more powerful sect, and it is no longer like many years ago when it had the status to rule the continent.

Now that the Bai family is entrenched in Yuancheng and has extraordinary strength, that emperor Bixia will choose to do this, obviously also to attract powerful allies for the imperial family, in case it will be overthrown sooner or later.

Bai Xuanjing doesn't seem to care too much about the emperor's marriage, now that the royal family is in decline, there are major sects around in the front, and there are princes and princes in the back, it can be said that it is surrounded by tigers and wolves, and it is difficult to protect himself, how could Bai Xuanjing let his son have a relationship with a gradually declining shili?

However, although the imperial power is declining now, the royal family still has a certain influence, and Bai Xuanjing didn't want to directly refuse to offend the other party, so he smiled and said: "Elder Xu, do you know, the child of Long Xiang has now reached the Dingyuan realm, and some time ago suddenly had the momentum of awakening the bloodline, I am afraid that I will not be able to accept my heart and get married, and I will not refuse Bixia's good intentions, let me discuss this matter with Long Xiang again, how about it?"

Although it was said to be a discussion, the black-robed old man was not a fool, and he also heard the perfunctory words in Bai Xuanjing's words, so he showed a sneer, and said: "Patriarch Bai, the royal family is ruthless, this is the first time I have come, and I have come with the sincerity of Bixia. But if I had been allowed to go back for nothing, and when I visited again, I might not have been as polite as I am now. ”

Bai Xuanjing's eyes flashed, and he was a little cold. If the old emperor is still alive now, your royal family is still qualified to say this, but now the old emperor who used to be a strong man of Wuzun has long been gone, and now the new emperor is just a Diyuan realm, looking at the entire Southern Wilderness Continent, although the strong man of Diyuan is rare, but it is not invincible, without the royal family of Wuzun, who else will put you in his eyes?

Of course, Bai Xuanjing would only think about this kind of thing in his heart, no matter how lonely the current royal family was, it was once the master of the Southern Wilderness Continent, with a background that ordinary people could not imagine. I saw Bai Xuanjing smile and said, "Elder Xu is serious, I just said let's give the young man a little more time, and I didn't say that Bai Longxiang refused to marry Princess Ning Xi." Besides, what Elder Xu meant in his words, did he want to force the marriage to fail? I had always heard that the man forced the woman to marry, but Elder Xu's reversal of the move, he was not afraid of making Princess Ning Xi blame?"

The black-robed old man's face shook, and his face also showed a slight look of impatience, but he didn't have a seizure, stared at Bai Xuanjing and asked: "Patriarch Bai, is this going to delay time?" Hehe, it's better for us to think of a compromise method, the white dragon elephant can't do it, then the third generation of the Bai family also has a few outstanding children, since they have never been married, Bixia has a lot of children under his knees, whether you plan to marry or marry on the Bai family's side, you have to let the old man and I pay the errand." ”

When it comes to this point, it means that there is no room for reversal at all. The black-robed old man also showed his attitude extremely obviously, no matter whether the person from your Bai family is a white dragon elephant or not, even if you marry other third-generation clansmen, the royal family will tie the Bai family to the warship at any cost.

If you can get the genius of the White Dragon Elephant, it is the most haode result, and if you can't get it, you don't have to force it.

Seeing that the old man had already said it to this point, although Bai Xuanjing frowned in his heart, it was not good to continue to shirk the perfunctory, but he was also secretly worried, the third generation of the Bai family, both men and women, were talented, and if they made such a hasty decision, they would inevitably cheapen the royal family in vain.

At this moment, Mrs. Bai, who sat down and never spoke, smiled slightly, and said softly: "Master, you are really confused, have you forgotten that child in Bai Yang?"

"Huh?" the black-robed old man raised his eyebrows and looked at Madame Bai. Madam Bai smiled and stopped talking, but her words had already served as a reminder, Bai Xuanjing was overjoyed, remembering the nephew who had been sent to the Xuanjian Sect for almost a year, he smiled and said, "Look at my memory, Elder Xu, I think, we are really going to kiss in the future." ”

"Oh, how do you say that?" The black-robed old man didn't understand why Bai Xuanjing's attitude was so different.

Bai Xuanjing tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and said with a smile: "I have a nephew named Bai Yang, who should be sixteen years old if you count his age, which is the marriageable age, and he is also the same age as Princess Ning Xi, so he should be very compatible." ”

"Bai Yang, why have you never heard of such a person in the third generation of the Bai family?" the black-robed old man looked suspicious, for fear that there would be fraud in it.

At this time, Madam Bai spoke again: "Elder Xu, this child Bai Yang has grown up under my watch, he is down-to-earth, he has been diligent since he was a child, and now he is still a disciple of the Xuanjian Sect, and he can be regarded as a talent. ”

"yes. Bai Xuanjing was very happy in his heart, but on the surface, he remained silent, and nodded with a smile: "Bai Yang, this kid is definitely worthy of Princess Shangningxi, Elder Xu can rest assured." ”

The black-robed old man was still suspicious in his heart, so he proposed. "Hehe, since that's the case, then I'll rest assured that I'll go back and pay the errand, within a month, Bixia will send someone to send Princess Ning Xi's dowry, why don't you find a time to meet and communicate with each other recently, what does Patriarch Bai think?"

"Old fox!" Bai Xuanjing scolded secretly in his heart, but on the surface, he was a little embarrassed: "Bai Yang has been practicing in the Xuanjian Sect, and he hasn't been home for more than a year, I don't think it's very convenient." ”

The old man waved his hand and said, "What's this, as far as I know, the Xuanjian Sect has never been too much of a restriction on the freedom of its disciples, as long as you write a letter to the Xuanjian Sect, this kind of big thing, I don't think the Xuanjian Sect has any reason not to let go." Okay, I'm an old man who has passed the word, and I'm done instigating, Patriarch Bai, after this time, you and the royal family will be close to each other, and the entire Liyuan City, or even half of the Southern Wilderness, may be in the bag of the Bai family, so let's do it yourself. ”

After sending the old man out of the living room, he called someone to lead the way to see off the guests, and he stood on the steps staring at the back of the black-robed old man, with a sneer on his face.

"Master, Bixia wants to drag our Bai family into the water, how can this be good. Madame Bai followed, and her beautiful face, which looked to be in her early thirties, was full of sorrow, and she sighed: "Fortunately, my lord, you insisted on refusing his marriage to Long Xiang, otherwise it would ruin my son's life, so what can I do?" ”

"Hmph, what kind of character is Princess Ning Xi, and she is also worthy of marrying Long Xiang? I want to use my little daughter to tie up Long Xiang and the Bai family, Ning Tianji has a good calculation. Bai Xuanjing sneered and said: "Now that the imperial power is in the middle, if the old emperor does not appear again, the royal family will perish sooner or later, but we are not good to offend too much, thanks to your reminder before, let me still remember Bai Yang, presumably he has not gained anything in the year of Xuanjian Sect, and sent someone to send him a letter from home, and now it is time for him to repay the Bai family for more than ten years of nurturing." ”

When Mrs. Bai heard this, she responded, and then said with some hesitation: "Master, father, do you want to inform me too?" After all, although he is indifferent to Bai Yang's grandson, he can be regarded as taking good care of him......

"No need, the third brother and that woman don't even have a name, to put it bluntly, Bai Yang is just an illegitimate child, how can his father care about him? Not to mention that this is not a bad thing for him, although Princess Ning Xi is rude, but she is also a beautiful embryo, immediately send someone to send a letter to the Xuanjian Sect to Bai Yang, telling him to rush back within a month. Bai Xuanjing waved his hand and decided the matter.

Although it is true to say this, Bai Xuanjing knows very well in his heart that this kind of marriage involving interests, the weak party often has to make sacrifices. What's more, Bai Yang is just a waste illegitimate child who can't cultivate, and when his identity is exposed, the royal family will definitely not dare to trouble the Bai family, but Bai Yang's fate will definitely be very miserable.
