The Bai family.
In the side hall, a beautiful woman was sitting on a chair, staring blankly at the outside of the hall, seeming somewhat absent-minded.
She is the mother of the Bai family and also the biological mother of Bai Ruoxi, Bai Yuanfeng.
She was wearing a pink and white blouse with a light colored skirt, with a mid to high beauty.
It's hard to imagine how such an ordinary looking woman gave birth to such a beautiful woman as Bai Ruoxi.
There are two cups placed next to the table, and the tea has already cooled down.
Bai Yuanfeng has been waiting for news from her daughter in this side hall for almost an hour,She has been suffering a lot during this period.
Nowadays, the Bai family is no longer as spirited as it used to be. They have been secretly suppressed by the Gongsun family and the Dawn Chamber of Commerce. Not long ago, a servant reported that their husband was attacked by three mysterious cultivators on his way back from the neighboring city and is now seriously injured.
Until now, the head of the Bai family is still undergoing rescue efforts.
This also made Bai Yuanfeng even more anxious in her heart.
The only thing they can rely on now is the help of the Mu family.
Whether all of this can succeed depends on whether the daughter's negotiations are successful.
Just as she was anxiously waiting, a figure faintly appeared in the field of vision outside the hall. A glimmer of expectation flashed through Bai Yuanfeng's beautiful eyes, and she stood up to greet her, saying:Ruoxi, what do the members of the Mu family say
Being stared at so intensely by her mother, Bai Ruoxi, who was already under immense psychological pressure, found it difficult to speak up and moved her gaze away from her mother.
It wasn't until a long time later that she whispered, "He didn't agree
Bai Yuanfengguang was momentarily stunned and suddenly collapsed onto the chair.
Bai Ruoxi seemed a little reluctant to see her mother look like this and slightly turned her face away.
What did Young Master Mu say? "Bai Yuanfeng reluctantly raised her eyes, her gaze appearing somewhat dim.
Bai Ruoxi seemed a bit hesitant to speak up, lightly biting her lip and whispering, "He wants the Tongmai Pill
No! "The beautiful woman's eyes immediately became sharp, and her voice suddenly rose a few points, saying:The Tongmai Pill is the most important treasure for my Bai family to be promoted to the first family. With it, our Bai family has hope of becoming the first family of Tenxuan Castle in the future. Handing over the Tongmai Pill to the Mu family is like cutting off our arms
Bai Yuanfeng paused for a moment and looked at his daughter, suddenly doubting, "If I remember correctly, the young master of the Mu family has been pursuing you, right? How could he refuse your request so directly
Bai Ruoxi lowered her gaze slightly, her slender eyelashes holding onto the light and making her fair face even more charming.
She whispered, 'If he wants to help, he should offer corresponding benefits, either Tongmai Pill or...'
Bai Ruoxi paused for a moment, lightly biting her lip and whispering, "I... I At this point, she lifted her eyes slightly and looked at her mother with a hopeful gaze.
Bai Ruoxi has always been regarded as the apple of the Bai family's eye, and the head of the Bai family loves Bai Ruoxi even more. However, Bai Ruoxi is not sure what decision the Bai family will make in the current situation.
At this moment, she heard Bai Yuanfeng's murmuring voice:
Right, that's right... I knew Master Mu wouldn't give up on you
Upon hearing these words, Bai Ruoxi's heart sank, while on the other hand, the beautiful woman seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and continued
How did you answer him
I haven't answered yet... What does my mother think we should do? "Bai Ruoxi's clear eyes stared straight at the beautiful woman.Bai Yuanfeng glanced at his daughter and smiled, "Young Master Mu is still young, very handsome, and you know his family background... If he can marry into the Mu family, it will be good for you and our Bai family
After a moment of silence, Bai Ruoxi looked back into his mother's eyes and said coldly, "The entire Tianxuan City knows that this young master of the Mu family has committed many evil deeds in his daily life. It is said that he even fell in love with a woman from a certain family a while ago. I don't want to marry such a person
The words of the matchmaker, as ordered by the parents, are beyond your control! "Bai Yuanfeng's tone suddenly became a bit stern.
Bai Ruoxi's mouth slightly opened, as if she wanted to say something.
But in the end, he stubbornly swallowed back what he wanted to say.
Bai Yuanfeng could see all the changes in her daughter's expression, and her tone softened, Reaching out and gently grasping her daughter's soft pussy, her voice softened a bit:
Ruoxi, you are the last hope of our Bai family. Besides the Mu family speaking up, who else can save our Bai family? Do we have to rely on your childhood sweetheart
If it were him a few years ago, there might have been some opportunities, but now... hmph, "Bai Yuanfeng sneered disdainfully." I've long disliked that Ye Yu. The Bai family has become like this. It's hard to say it's that unlucky guy who brought bad luck to our Bai family
Yes, it's definitely that unlucky guy who caused it! His cultivation level was not enough after being harvested by heaven, and now it's causing trouble for our Bai family! That guy is just a useless broom star
Mom, stop talking! "Bai Ruoxi only whispered to stop her mother, but did not refute.
She paused and whispered I'll go and test Master Mu's ideas later
At this point, Bai Ruoxi instinctively clenched her delicate jade hand hidden in her sleeve, her eyes filled with complexity.
She didn't know if it was her own illusion, but she always felt that when she was talking to Mu Zhi'an today, the other person's gaze towards her was no longer as explicit as before... and her temperament seemed to have undergone a significant change.
If someone is not familiar with him, they may be attracted by his elegant and charming demeanor today, and even develop feelings of admiration
Bai Ruoxi lowered her head and looked at the beautiful woman sitting in the chair, then glanced at the desolate hall.
Normally today, there should be many visitors in the hall, as well as maids serving tea and water.
But now, most of the maids have run away, while those guests,I also stopped visiting the Bai family to avoid suspicion.
The entire vast Bai family appears so empty and desolate.
Bai Ruoxi scanned the hall with complex eyes. After a long time, her tightly clenched pink fist slowly relaxed, and her green jade fingers gently caressed her towering chest, as if she had made up her mind.
...
Mu Jia, training ground.
Hey
At this moment, Mu Zhi'an held a long sword in his hand and kept swinging it towards Wei Mengrou, who was standing opposite with a negative sword.
Wei Mengrou always maintained a calm demeanor, avoiding Mu Zhi'an's attacks lightly every time.
A few times down,Mu Anzhi was already exhausted and began to gasp for breath, but Wei Mengrou, who had a curvaceous figure, said calmly, "Let's take a break first. She did pretty well today
Usually, after training for a stick of incense, Mu Zhi'an would start shouting about hardship and exhaustion. However, today he has persisted for an hour, which really surprised the maidservants.
Looking at the boy sitting on the ground, Wei Mengrou hesitated for a moment and continued to ask, "Did something happen
Although I don't really like what Mu Zhi'an did during the day, this child is still from her own family. If Mu Zhi'an is bullied outside, she will still lend a helping hand.
Mu Zhi'an shook his head and smiled, "I just want to have such a rare expert to guide my cultivation. It would be a pity not to persist a little longer
Wei Mengrou gave Mu Zhi'an a sideways glance,A faint 'oh' sound was heard.
Why haven't I seen him persist more before? Something must have happened to provoke this guy.
Otherwise, he just wants to attract his attention in this way... Mu Zhi'an has done this before, but it was seen through by Wei Mengrou at a glance.
Looking at the cold expression on the maid's face, Mu Zhi'an just smiled and didn't say much.
What he just said is indeed true. Wei Mengrou is also a cultivator in the realm of refining gods, and it is rare to be able to get her guidance. In the past, she was purely in a state of happiness and did not know what to do.
However, the impression of the playboy from the past has become deeply ingrained in people's hearts, and it is unlikely to change Wei Mengrou's impression in a short period of time. We can only take our time.
Mu Zhi'an let out a deep sigh,After resting for a while, he got up and continued to receive training from Wei Mengrou.
Time passed silently, and before I knew it, it was evening.
The beautiful maid shook her sword flower and looked down at the boy sitting on the ground panting, sighing with some regret in her heart.
If the young master can persist like this every day, his future achievements will definitely not be low... It's just a pity that this state of mind is probably only a three minute heat.
After all, Mu Zhi'an had several experiences where he worked hard for a few days at the beginning of training, but his enthusiasm gradually faded away.
Without persistence, there will be no achievement in cultivating immortality.
After training for nearly two hours, Mu Zhi'an left the training ground, had dinner, and then went back to his room to rest.It seems that due to training for too long today, as soon as Mu Zhi'an lay in bed, a feeling of fatigue flooded into his mind.
But Mu Zhi'an did not immediately fall asleep, instead sitting cross legged at the head of the bed. Every time he exhaled, he infused the spiritual energy between heaven and earth into the "cauldron" in his body.
Today's sparring with Wei Mengrou gave him some insights. His current state is hot and the best time for cultivation.
That night.
It started pouring rain outside, and Mu Zhi'an was still sitting cross legged at the bedside. It had been almost two hours since then, and it was already nightfall before anyone knew it.
Dong dong dong.
A faint knocking sound came from outside the house.
Mu Zhi'an slowly opened his eyes and said:
What's up
Young master, Miss Bai Ruoxi is seeking an audience in the hall
The guards outside said with a hint of respect.
Bai Ruoxi?
Coming to see me so late, I can't figure it out... "Mu Zhi'an pondered for a moment and said," Let her wait for me in the hall, I'll change my clothes and go over.
