Early in the morning, there was a knock on Bai Yang's door. Bai Yang slept very deeply, but he knew everything about the outside world, and before the door rang, he felt that there was someone outside, and immediately opened his eyes.

"Young master, early. After opening the door, a famous and beautiful maid stood outside the door, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, a soft voice, and said eloquently: "The great patriarch invited you to meet in the council hall, and specially asked me to serve the young master to wash and change clothes." ”

"Great Patriarch?" Bai Yang heard this, knowing that this Great Patriarch must be Bai Xuanjing, after thinking about it, he said: "I know, there is no need to serve, you go down first." ”

The maid looked embarrassed, but in her heart she didn't think so.

The subordinates of the Bai family all know how to observe words and colors, and they are divided into factions. Bai Yang's identity and status, although there are not too many people talking about it in the Bai family, it is a well-known thing, this maid only thinks that Bai Yang really regards herself as the young master of the Bai family, holds the shelf, and after sneering a few times in her heart, she slowly retires.

Bai Yang looked at her back, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, turned back to the room, washed his face casually, and after getting dressed, he thought about it in his heart: "It seems that Bai Xuanjing can't hold it anymore, and wants to directly force me to make a relationship with Princess Ning Xi, otherwise he wouldn't have summoned me so eagerly." As soon as this thought arose, Bai Yang smiled coldly and said secretly: "I want to see what else you have in mind." ”

——————————————————————

In the conference hall, Bai Xuanjing, Bai Jian, and Bai Haoran were all there, in addition to them, there were several junior members sitting at the bottom, as if they were listening respectfully to the elders.

These little characters, a beautiful girl sitting at the top of the list, is Bai Xuanjing's youngest daughter Bai Hanyou, who is also a valuable genius that the Bai family focuses on cultivating.

And a young man in white sitting next to her is Bai Jian's son, named Bai Peng, who is also in the Gang Qi realm, although he is a few years older than Bai Hanyou, he still has unlimited potential to be tapped.

As for the juniors in the next rank, most of them are gifted geniuses among the side clansmen, although their elder status is not high, but fortunately, they themselves have great potential, so they can mix extremely well in the Bai family.

Bai Xuanjing picked up the tea, glanced at a few juniors with a smile, and then his eyes fell on Bai Peng's face, and said, "Peng'er, what's the confusion about Peng'er's recent cultivation? ”

Bai Peng hurriedly owed a debt to show respect, and replied: "Back to the uncle's words, the little nephew has reached the Gang Qi realm not long ago, and there are a lot of confusions, but on the way to cultivation, you still have to rely on your own comprehension, and the little nephew does not dare to take advantage of the uncle's wisdom." ”

"Well, you kid, there's some truth to what you're saying. That's right, I'm also a handful of age, and I don't have much to talk about with you young people, but you are the same age as Han You, but a few years older than her, you can usually get close to each other, communicate your cultivation experience, don't be rusty. Bai Xuanjing looked at Bai Hanyou again, the latter nodded, and said softly: "My daughter listens to you, and she will communicate with her cousin well." ”

The meaning of these words was as if he had been instructed to guide Bai Peng's cultivation. Bai Peng's face was immediately a little unbearable, and he forced a smile and looked at his father Bai Jian.

Bai Jian's face was pale, but it was impossible for him to have a seizure. Bai Xuanjing's words were obviously showing off his daughter's talent, but his own son was really not angry, and on such occasions, he would often hold him down and raise his head, and a breath of anger choked in his throat and could not be released. He coughed dryly, gave Bai Peng a look, and immediately smiled, and said: "Hanyou's talent is better than that of the dragon elephant, and the hope of the Bai family's future still depends on these two children." But big brother, the main purpose of our gathering here today is not to discuss this. ”

Bai Xuanjing squinted, but he didn't intend to dwell on this topic, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, I heard that Bai Yang's child returned home, so I notified the royal family, hoping to let Princess Ning Xi come to finalize the marriage. I called everyone here today just to be a witness, our Bai family and the royal family are close to each other, which is naturally a great joy. And I just received news from Elder Xu, and in about a while, he and Princess Ning Xi will arrive. ”

Speaking of this, Bai Xuanjing smiled and said to Bai Hanyou, Bai Peng and other juniors: "Bai Yang's child hasn't been home for a year, and later, you brothers and sisters will have to be close to him." ”

Bai Peng and the others didn't feel anything, and they didn't have a deep impression of Bai Yang, but when Bai Hanyou heard Bai Yang's name, a mocking sneer bloomed on the corner of his lips. Moreover, when she remembered that when she was a child, she passed by Bai Yang and deliberately fell, and Bai Yang was almost broken a leg, the sneer on the corner of her lips was even more mocking, and she said lightly: "I haven't seen my cousin for so long, I miss him too, Dad, or you think about it, and find him such a haode relative." ”

"Huh. Bai Xuanjing smiled slightly.

As time passed, many core members of the Bai family came in in the huge meeting hall, in addition to the main family's Bai Xuanjing, the elders of the separate family, and some cousins with the same surname Bai gradually came. The engagement between the Bai family and the royal family is a major event of the Bai family in recent years, don't look at the royal family is not as strong as it was back then, but it is still the former overlord of the Southern Wilderness, and it is also a powerful shili of orthodoxy. Being able to establish a long-term chain of interests with such a shili will be a good opportunity for the Bai family to expand rapidly.

Of course, the idea of the second generation of the Bai family is probably like this, but those small characters of the third generation of the Bai family are all here to see the excitement. Because Princess Ning Xi is arrogant and willful, and Bai Yang is the famous bastard child of the Bai family, everyone knows that the engagement between the two of them will be a rare show.

"Why hasn't Bai Yang come yet, big brother, you shouldn't have informed him. Bai Haoran glanced at the hall that was almost full, and said in a strange way.

Bai Xuanjing waved his hand, "Wait a minute, young man, it's also appropriate to have a little shelf, hehe." ”

"This kid is getting more and more disrespectful, yesterday my sixth uncle went to him in person, and he didn't take me seriously, he really looked like his mother of unknown origin. Bai Haoran licked his lips, and what he said became worse and worse, Bai Xuanjing and Bai Jian were both too lazy to answer, this kind of brainless words, only Bai Haoran's character could say it, but he didn't know that some of the elders around him who were secretly guilty about the things of the year were already looking at him with an extremely disgusted look.

Suddenly, the younger brother of the former patriarch of the Bai family, that is, the uncle of Bai Xuanjing and the others, touched his beard and asked, "Princess Ning Xi's side, it's almost there." ”

"Elder Xu is almost there. Bai Xuanjing nodded.

"Haha, let the Bai people wait for a long time, the old man and Princess Ning Xi came to visit. ”

At this time, there was a burst of laughter outside the conference hall, and everyone looked at it, it was Elder Xu in a wide black robe who walked slowly, looked at the situation in the hall, showed a strange smile on his face, arched his hand in all directions, and said, "Let you wait for a long time, sin, sin." ”

Bai Xuanjing and some old people of some seniority immediately stood up to greet each other and gave enough face. Bai Xuanjing stepped forward and said with a smile: "Where is Elder Xu, this is Princess Ning Xi, right?" As he spoke, he looked at the arrogant girl beside Elder Xu who was wearing a purple and gold skirt robe and had delicate facial features, and said with a smile: "It's better to be famous than to meet, Princess Ning Xi really has a flower and moon appearance, and Bai Yang's child will be blessed in the future." ”

At the mention of this topic, Elder Xu immediately restrained his smile and kept silent, as if he hadn't heard it. Bai Xuanjing sighed in his heart, secretly snorting badly.

Sure enough, I saw Ning Xi flick his slender fingers, raised his eyes and swept everyone in the council hall, that condescending gaze only stopped on Bai Hanyou's body for a moment, and then turned back to Bai Xuanjing's face, and said lazily: " Uncle Bai, I don't want to beat around the bush and say some polite nonsense, as far as I know, only one white dragon elephant in the third generation of the Bai family can handle it, this time my father wants to marry the Bai family, I thought I was going to marry the white dragon elephant, and I didn't have much resistance in my heart, but what is this Bai Yang who came out halfway? He is also worthy of being my husband?"

"This ......" Bai Xuanjing's face stiffened, and he immediately responded like a stream, and said with a smile: "Bai Yang, this kid has a good heart, I dare to guarantee that he will never succumb to you." ”

"Guarantee? Uncle Bai, isn't it that Ning Xi is too demanding, a waste who can't even protect his family's status, what guarantee will happen after marriage? After all, marriage is a lifelong event, although Ning Xi obeys his father's will, but the husband he chooses must at least be as handsome as Bai Longxiang, is it possible that the Bai family will come out with a cat and a dog, and I have to marry willingly? Ning Xi's teeth were sharp, and his voice echoed in this hall, making many Bai family teenagers blush, faintly angry.

Because of her words, although she was targeting Bai Yang, she scolded all the third generation of the Bai family, which meant that except for the white dragon elephant, the younger generation of the Bai family had no other decent talents, which was simply a slap in the face and a slap in the face, making the cheeks hurt.

As for Bai Jian and the others, they were even more angry, even if they were squeezed by Bai Xuanjing before, Ning Xi's words simply made his old face hot, as if someone had uncovered a scar.

Elder Xu looked at the Bai family in the hall and seemed to be a little dissatisfied, he smiled, and said in a dark voice: "Everyone, in fact, I don't blame our princess for speaking badly, I, a minion, have inquired before, although Bai Yang's son is indeed a person, but his status in your Bai family is a little delicate." Hey, an illegitimate child, he wants to make our princess commit to marrying, and at the same time, let most of the resources of the royal family be poured into him, but the Bai family has not paid anything, this is really a good calculation?

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly suffocated. Those of the older generation seemed to remember the horror of the royal family, and they all changed their faces, and then stared at Bai Xuanjing and waited for his response.

However, Ning Xi suddenly raised his hand to stop Elder Xu's trouble, revealing a hint of ridicule: "Uncle Bai, the marriage between the Bai family and the royal family is a good thing and a happy event, Ning Xi naturally will not dismiss the wishes of the two families." However, as my husband, Bai Yang can't always be a mediocre person, it's better to be like this, there is still half a month before the engagement period, I will live in the Bai family, whether it is Bai Yang or anyone else, as long as I am confident that I can walk a few rounds in my hands, I will agree with him. As he spoke, Ning Xi's slender fingers were coiled with a smoke-like aura, exuding a dazzling pale gold.

Bai Xuanjing, Bai Jian and the others changed their faces at the same time. Bai Hanyou and some of Bai Peng's juniors also showed expressions of disbelief.

Since the Gang Qi has reached the realm of smoke and mist, it proves that Ning Xi's immersion in the Gang Qi Realm has some heat, at least it must be the second or even the third stage of the Gang Qi! This means that the third generation of the Bai family, except for the White Dragon Elephant, really no one is her opponent!

Bai Hanyou stood up, his eyes were full of fighting intent, but he was stopped by Bai Xuanjing with his eyes, and then said to Ning Xi with a smile: "Since the princess is so interested, then when Bai Yang comes, you two will have a good discussion in private, and we old things will not care." Elder Xu, what do you think?"

"Patriarch Bai, don't try to fool the past, what is Bai Yang, you Bai family people know best. Being sent to the Xuanjian Sect by you for a year, and being able to be summoned back so suddenly, it can be seen that his status in the sect is not high, you know, there is still a period of time before the new inner disciples of the Xuanjian Sect go out to practice, and he has not yet become an inner disciple after a year of entry, so it can be seen that his talent is simply a waste of a thousand miles!" Elder Xu sneered for a while, and said slowly: "All in all, since Princess Ning Xi has decided to try that waste's skills herself, it's not easy for me to say anything as a minion." If he is really a mud that can't be helped, hehe, Bai Patriarch, let's come to the future!"

The words have come to this point, Bai Xuanjing narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "It seems that there is really some misunderstanding here, in this case, Bai Yang's kid will arrive soon, wouldn't it be better to let him explain it himself?"

In a word, Bai Xuanjing put all the responsibility on Bai Yang and took himself and the Bai family out.

"Yes, this Elder Xu, don't be angry first, wait for Bai Yang's kid to come. Young people's affairs naturally need to be solved by their young people. The younger brother of the old man of the Bai family also spoke.

Some of the elders of the Bai family immediately chimed in and pushed all the responsibility on Bai Yang, for fear that Elder Xu would hold a grudge against this matter.

After all, the deterrent power of the royal family is still there, if Ning Tianji really knows that Bai Xuanjing actually wants to empty the white wolf, and plans to punish the Bai family in anger, even if the Bai family does not die, they will have to shed their skin, and those big families near Liyuan City are not vegetarians, they will definitely fall into the well and beat the Bai family into the abyss.

Of course, there are some kind-hearted old people who can't bear to see them harm a child like this, but the trend of the times is the same, and they can only remain silent in desperation.

Looking at the faces of these Bai family members, Ning Xi smiled even more disdainfully, and slowly found a seat and sat down, under the purple and gold luxurious long skirt, the delicate figure loomed, especially the pair of overlapping and seductive long legs, which attracted many young people of the Bai family to look at her intentionally or unintentionally.

Ning Xi held his chin and said lazily: "Uncle Bai, if you really don't have any decent people in the Bai family, it is better to hand over Bai Yang to me, and after I get angry, I will naturally not pursue this matter." If my father still wants me to marry the Bai family, let the white dragon elephant come to the door to greet me, other people are not qualified. ”

"Patriarch Bai, what the princess means, that's what I mean, we don't have to pursue this matter, but that Bai Yang, hehe. Elder Xu shook his head, put his hands into his sleeves, looked like a gloomy servant, and kept silent.

"This ...... Xuanjing, what the hell is going on with Bai Yang? Go and find him, such a big thing is still late, he really wants to kill our Bai family before he will give up?" The old man with the highest rank was so angry that he almost slapped the table and scolded.

Bai Xuanjing was also a little angry, in this situation, every second of delay was very unfavorable to them, so he called his subordinates with a gloomy face and asked him to urge Bai Yang.

"No need. ”

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the hall, and then, under the gaze of everyone, a young man in black stepped on the steps, his eyes swept over everyone in the hall, and then said to Bai Xuanjing: "I've seen uncle." ”

This black-clothed boy is naturally Bai Yang!

"You are Bai Yang?" Ning Xi tilted his head, looked up and down, and then sneered: "Why did you marry me?"

In the entire conference hall, dozens of pairs of eyes brushed down on Bai Yang's face.

Elder Xu's fingers rubbed for a while, turned his gaze to look at Bai Xuanjing, and said with a smile: "It's really a talent, but it's a pity that it's an illegitimate child." ”

There were immediately several laughs in the hall.

Bai Yang looked at it one by one, and the people who laughed were all old stubborns who refused to give his mother a name, including the younger brother of the old man of the Bai family, the old man who should be called the second grandfather!

"Bai Yang, you're just in time. Bai Xuanjing nodded, didn't instigate, and went straight to the point: "This is Princess Ning Xi, your fiancée." But now there are some troubles, you have to solve it yourself, Princess Ning Xi doesn't want her husband to be a mediocre person, I want to have a few tricks with you, I think you should have made great progress in the Xuanjian Sect this year, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, now is a chance for you to prove yourself. ”

Ning Xi, who was sitting there, tilted his little head and stared at Bai Yang's face, the color of ridicule was even stronger, and among the idle slender hands, the pale golden Gang was swirling, like a naughty elf, but anyone who ignored it would suffer a terrifying blow.

The atmosphere in the council hall seemed to be a little frozen, except for the occasional sound of breathing, no one spoke openly, because most of the people were waiting for Bai Yang to lose his ugliness, and they all knew in their hearts that for Princess Ning Xi, who was above the second stage of Shanggang Qi, Bai Yang would already be regarded as having succeeded in his studies in the Xuanjian Sect if he was not beaten to the ground, as for the other endings, unless a miracle happened, no one expected Bai Yang to have a special performance.

"What, could it be that you are so scared that you can't even speak?" Ning Xi crushed the qi in his hand, stood up, looked at Bai Yang who was silent, and smiled sarcastically: "It seems that you are really a waste as rumored!"

"What the hell is going on with you?"

Suddenly, four words popped out of Bai Yang's mouth coldly, causing the scene to fall into a deathly silence again.

"What did you say?!!" Ning Xi's face changed and he said in a deep voice.

The corners of Bai Yang's mouth curled slightly, turned his head to look at her, and sneered: "Am I a waste of your business? I really think of myself as a princess that everyone wants to hold? Put away your superiority, I am not your father, there is no need to get used to you!"
