Elder Zi Yanran, who had left the Heavenly Palace, had come to the Bai family, and there was no news before, this move made Bai Jian, who had just sat on the position of acting patriarch, a little worried, and hurriedly set up a banquet to entertain these guests from the Heavenly Palace, and at the same time personally attended the reception, everything was treated with the highest standard.

During the banquet, the atmosphere was quite heavy, although Bai Jian tried her best to liven up the atmosphere, but looking at the indifferent woman like an iceberg, the embarrassment on Bai Jian's face never disappeared.

"Hehe, when I met you ten years ago, you were just a family steward. Unexpectedly, now that he has climbed to the position of patriarch, it seems that Bai Xuanjing has made a big mistake?"

The old man named Hei Lao sat beside Zi Yanran, and although Zi Yanran, as the master, was silent, Hei Lao had to say something on her behalf.

For this black old man who has a special status in the Heavenly Palace, Bai Jian didn't dare to slack off, picked up his wine glass, and said with a smile: "After ten years, you are still very tough, my position as the patriarch is just a praise, if there is a more suitable candidate for the old man, I still have to abdicate and make way for Xian." ”

Speaking of which. Bai Jian paused, intentionally or unintentionally, to guide the topic to their intentions this time: "Anyway, Elder Yanran came to visit this time, but it was for the sake of that Princess Ning Xi?"

Glancing at Bai Jian, who was full of smiles, the old black man's face shook, snorted, touched a cup with him, and said lightly: "Our elders are here this time, mainly for some private matters. That unassuming Ning Xi, although she is a nominal nephew, it is not worth asking our elders to come in person. ”

"Oh, I don't know, what is a private matter? In this Liyuan City, no matter what it is, our Bai family can help. ”

Hearing that Zi Yanran's intention had nothing to do with Ning Xi, Bai Jian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and her tone became a lot more relaxed.

As long as she didn't come to stand up for her nephew, then Bai Jian didn't have to worry that her anger would involve the Bai family, as for other private matters, even if she turned Liyuan City upside down, the Bai family would have a way to protect herself.

Suddenly, Zi Yanran raised her eyes, looked at Bai Jian, and said, "I heard that the Bai family has some connections with the Ye family in the eastern capital, and it seems that the eldest lady of the Ye family has also been invited to be a guest." ”

"Miss Ye Family?"

Bai Jian's expression was stunned, revealing a little surprise.

Because he had heard of this family, but he had never heard of any connection between the Bai family and this mysterious family in the Eastern Capital, let alone inviting the eldest lady of their family to come to the family as a guest.

But......

Bai Jian suddenly seemed to think of something, groaned, and said, "I have heard that my nephew Bai Longxiang is about to return, and the eldest brother has found a good family for him. Perhaps, it will be related to the eldest lady of the Ye family. ”

"White Dragon Elephant? is the genius of your Bai family? The old man has also seen him once, and it looks like it's just so-so. There was a hint of ridicule in the black elder's cloudy eyes, "Bai Xuanjing has a good calculation, and wants to use his son to reach a marriage with the Ye family. ”

"Black Lao, that's enough. In response to Hei Lao's repeated ridicule, Zi Yanran was expressionless, but there was a trace of dissatisfaction in her tone.

Hei Lao was suddenly silent and closed his mouth.

Seeing that this once famous old man was so respectful and obedient in front of Zi Yanran, Bai Jian's heart suddenly increased Zi Yanran's danger by a few levels.

Just when Bai Jian was secretly thinking about something, Zi Yanran's emotionless eyes glanced at him and said, "I came to the Bai family this time, in addition to the matter of the eldest lady of the Ye family, there is another matter that needs the help of the Bai patriarch. ”

Hearing this, Bai Jian straightened up, his expression became serious, and he nodded, "Elder Yanran, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"I wonder if Patriarch Bai has ever heard of it, Nightmare Stream?"

Bai Jian frowned, chewed on these two words in his mouth, and after a while, he shook his head regretfully: "I'm sorry, this name, I should have heard of it for the first time." ”

"Yes, since Patriarch Bai doesn't know, then I bother you to tell me if you hear any news about the Nightmare Stream. Zi Yanran glanced at Bai Jian deeply, then slowly got up, showed a just right smile, and said, "I may be bothering here for a while, and everything will be troublesome to Patriarch Bai." ”

Seeing this, Bai Jian also quickly got up and said, "Where is it, I have already sent someone to prepare the guest room, if you have any requirements, just ask me." ”

"Well, it's hard work. ”

Zi Yanran nodded, turned around and walked outside, and the black old man who had a strange smell all over his body also stood up, grinned at Bai Jian, and followed Zi Yanran out of the door.

Looking at the two people who walked out of the door, Bai Jian suddenly let out a sigh of relief, but his back was unconsciously wet with cold sweat, and he was quite afraid: "This woman, weishenme will ask about the nightmare? Could it be that those monsters have come to the Southern Wilderness Continent?"

Thinking of this terrible possibility, Bai Jian felt like she was on pins and needles, and she couldn't stay any longer, so she hurriedly rushed out of the door to report this matter to Old Man Bai.

The Nightmare Stream comes from the Demon Gate Divine Sect of the Eastern Capital Continent, and most of this shili are some demon beasts with advanced cultivation and bloodthirsty. If they invade Liyuan City, it is estimated that the city will be destroyed in an instant, and now except for Bai Bushi in the Tianyuan realm, there are not a few strong people in the entire Liyuan City who can take on this matter.

Although the Earth Yuan Realm is powerful, in the face of demon beasts in the same realm, it is still a lot behind in nature.

"Elder, that Bai Jian is obviously lying, don't you debunk him?"

Following behind Zi Yanran, Hei Lao was a little puzzled by Zi Yanran's indifference.

Zi Yanran raised her chin and said lightly: "Since he knows about Nightmare Flow, but he doesn't tell the truth, it means that the Bai family also knows the horror of Nightmare Flow." From the Heavenly Palace guarding the border of the Southern Wilderness, the most direct harm of those monsters is us. Remember the purpose of our coming to the Bai family this time, if we can't find the eldest lady of the Ye family, we must at least kill the demon beast hiding here. ”

Hei Lao looked at Zi Yanran's delicate side face, a touch of pampering and distress flowed in his eyes, he lowered his head, and sighed: "This kind of thing, you should discuss it with the palace master and Zi Ye, instead of fighting it alone." ”

Hearing Hei Lao's inadvertent change of title, Zi Yanran's body trembled slightly, and she turned around, without any emotion in her voice: "I am Zi Yanran, the established chief elder of the Heavenly Palace, it is my responsibility to calm down potential hidden dangers for the sect, this kind of thing, don't say it again in the future." ”

"Yes......" The old black man leaned over and bowed his head to stop talking.

Suddenly, Zi Yanran seemed to feel something, looked towards the other side of the corridor, and after looking at it for a while, she asked lightly: "Elder Xu of the royal family is also here, you and him, you should be an old friend, right?"

"Hehe, that old dog, who coveted our [Litian Treasure Jian] from the Heavenly Palace, actually wanted to steal the upper part of the treasure book, was broken by me, ran thousands of miles to the royal family, and has been a dog slave for decades. Do you want to cut the grass and eradicate it?"

There was a disdainful expression on the face of the black elder, obviously extremely disdainful of the royal family's Elder Xu.

When Zi Yanran heard this, she shook her head: "Anyway, when you get to the Bai family, let's solve the trouble for my nephew, you go and find out what the young man named Bai Yang is, if it's really a waste, find a way to solve the marriage contract." As for that Elder Xu, if he has learned well over the years, let him go, and if he still has any conspiracy, bring his head back to the torture hall to receive the reward. ”

"Understood. The black old man smiled dumbly, and a thick black true qi as thick as ink appeared all over his body, and the whole person disappeared directly into the shadows.

When Hei Lao left, Zi Yanran sighed, bit her lip, and muttered, "This is the fate I have to bear." ”

With that, she looked up at the sky, took out a delicate black token, and held it in her hand to look at it carefully.

At this time, Bai Yang walked over from the corner of the corridor, and happened to bump into Zi Yanran who was in a daze there, and after a while, he saw the black token she was holding, and suddenly, Bai Yang's face changed, and his muscles were a little tense.

"Huh?" Sensing that someone was approaching, Zi Yanran glanced at Bai Yang, and found that it was just a teenager, so she put away the token in her hand and said lightly: "Are you from the Bai family?"

"Well, sort of. Bai Yang retracted his shocked gaze, and then found that the woman in the purple robe in front of him was actually the big man from the Heavenly Palace that he had seen in the auction house, and after thinking about it, he asked her, "You are Elder Zi Yanran?"

When Zi Yanran heard this, she glanced at Bai Yang with interest, "Do you know me?"

"I heard that there was a big man from the Heavenly Palace who came to visit today, but I didn't expect that the legendary Elder Yanran was so beautiful. ”

Bai Yang touched his nose and said with a smile.

"Hehe, you kid, you have a very good mouth. Well, the qualifications seem to be good, the qi and blood are fused into a furnace, the bones are like steel, and the flesh is small and perfect...... In addition to the white dragon elephant in the Bai family, there is actually such an interesting kid as you. Zi Yanran saw through Bai Yang's details at a glance, although she couldn't detect his cultivation, she saw the physical realm clearly.

Immediately, Zi Yanran moved her steps and walked in front of Bai Yang, because of her height, she raised her eyes slightly and looked at Bai Yang: "Say, what makes you brave enough to talk to me." ”

Although his careful thinking was seen through, Bai Yang did not feel embarrassed at all, but said bluntly: "The brand you just held in your hand, I seem to have seen it somewhere, I don't know where it came from?"

"Oh, have you seen the [Nightmare Beast Order]?"

Jade flipped her hand, and the black token appeared in her hand again.

Zi Yanran handed the token to Bai Yang, and her expression was also solemn: "You can take a good look at it?"
