Inside that courtyard, Dongfang Shuo and Yao Hai were both in high spirits.
They were exceptionally excited when they learned of what had happened.
Luo Tian felt unhappy when he saw blood stains on their bodies. But the Bai family was no longer the Bai family of yesterday. Otherwise, he would make those people who tortured those two pay the price.
“What are you guys so happy about?” Bai Qi walked into the courtyard with a smile on his face.
Behind him was Bai Lingling and Bai Xiong.
Bai Xiong hurried over to Luo Tian and greeted, “Master!”
Luo Tian responded with a smile and nodded.
Dongfang Shuo and Yao Hai stood up and smiled politely at Bai Qi.
“I’m sorry for the suffering you two had to endure. This Bai is guilty of it.” Bai Qi clasped his fists at them when he saw the blood stains on them.
Bai Qi then continued, “Those Bai family disciples who tortured you in the dungeon have all been secretly executed by me. I will definitely take responsibility for this matter. Both of you, please rest assured that I will definitely give you back justice.”
Dongfang Shuo replied with a smile, “Forget it. Those that captured us are mostly dead already. This is considered paying the price.”
The two of them were clear that if it weren’t for Luo Tian, this matter wouldn’t be over so easily.
Dongfang Shuo’s loss of power in the Dongfang family was naturally very clear to Bai Qi. Even if he was killed here, the Dongfang family wouldn’t send a single person over for an explanation.
As for Yao Hai, no one would care.
Luo Tian understood this, too, and said, “Let’s put this matter to rest here.”
Luo Tian then turned to Bai Lingling, “Oh right, the mission has been completed. You should keep your promise, right?”
He needed money badly.
He needed a large amount of xuan coins if he wanted to unseal all the skills he learned in the Tianxuan Continent. He also had to level up those skills so that he could kill his way to the Misty Cloud City and fuck over the entire Hai family.
Luo Tian wasn’t embarrassed asking this right in front of Bai Qi.
Bai Lingling was feeling angry inside as she said to herself, “Humph~! I knew you were a money grub and haven’t forgotten about the xuan coins.”
When she was about to say what was on her mind, Bai Qi said, “I have heard about the mission she gave you. Little Brother Luo, you should know the Bai family has become very unstable after this upheaval. We might be swallowed up by the other families tomorrow.”
“Therefore… can we change the 150,000 xuan coins to something else?”
“Right! I heard you wanted to go to the Misty Cloud City, right?”
“I have a qualification spot for the Misty Cloud Academy selection. You can participate instead of a Bai family disciple. If you agree to it, then the 150,000 xuan coins will be offset by it. What do you think?” Bai Qi smiled at Luo Tian after saying that.
He looked like a sneaky thief with that smile.
Luo Tian could feel that there was some plot involved.
Bai Qi knew how dangerous it was in the Misty Cloud City. And he seemed to have figured out Luo Tian’s character. Even if he isn’t given the Misty Cloud Academy selection spot, he would still go to the Misty Cloud City by himself. If this was the case, he might as well enter the Misty Cloud City as a student of the Misty Cloud Academy. That way, the Hai family wouldn’t dare to deal with him out in the open.
Bai Lingling was stunned, “Father, that’s the Bai family’s quota. How can you just give it to an outsider like that?”
Bai Xiong grinned, “Master, that means we can go there together.”
Dongfang Shuo and Yao Hai were dumbstruck by this. “Agree to it! A selection spot is much higher than 150,000 xuan coins! A spot in the black market would be worth at least 300,000!”
Luo Tian stared at Bai Qi while thinking of his strongest little brother, Lin Dong. He then extended two fingers and said, “Two spots!”
Bai Qi smiled and replied without a thought, “Deal!”
“What the hell?!”
“Why do I feel like I fell for your scheme?” Luo Tian was a bit depressed. Looking at Bai Qi’s expression, the old fox must have planned this out already. Xuan coins were important, but the quota was also important for him.
There is no doubt about it.
Bai Qi said with a smile, “What schemes are you talking about? You are my son-in-law, so why would I scheme against you? Luo Tian, you know I only have this one daughter. If you don’t take care of her, I am not going to let you off.”
“Father…” Bai Lingling’s cheeks were red, and she stomped her feet.
Bai Qi smiled and said, “What’s there to be embarrassed about? Father knows what’s on your mind. Isn’t it because this kid likes Yi Yunmeng? Misty Cloud Academy’s heaven’s pride daughter, the iceberg queen. Not to mention him, any straight man would like her. Even though she is currently poisoned, there will certainly be a day when that problem is resolved. She will be the elder, and you will be the junior. The strong have always been surrounded by wives and concubines. It’s a very normal thing, so there’s nothing to be embarrassed about.”
Luo Tian was instantly dumbstruck.
Was this her biological father?
How did he manage to say such words?
Luo Tian was speechless, but he still spoke seriously. “Yi Yunmeng cannot be the eldest.”
“What?”
“Kid, you want my daughter to be the eldest? That’s even better! Hahaha…” Bai Qi started laughing. It was as if her daughter’s marriage wasn’t a big deal.
But he was clear that if he didn’t grasp this opportunity for his daughter, Bai Lingling might miss out for the rest of her life.
He knew Bai Lingling liked Luo Tian.
Therefore, as a father, he couldn’t let this good prospectus off.
There were black lines hanging across Luo Tian’s forehead. He really couldn’t understand how Bai Qi managed to be the head of the Bai family with this kind of character. He then glanced at Bai Lingling and said, “I already have women back in the Tianxuan Continent, and there’s more than one of them. The reason I have come to the Ancient World is to look for an antidote for something called the Soul Poison to save my woman. Once I find that antidote, I am going back to the Tianxuan Continent.”
“Good kid!”
“I knew you would have women in the Tianxuan Continent. I wasn’t wrong about you! Hahaha…”
“It’s not a big deal for an expert to have several women. It’s very normal. I believe my daughter won’t care too much about it.” Bai Qi didn’t feel the slightest bit surprised and acted like he was determined to push his daughter into Luo Tian’s arms.
Bai Qi then said softly, “Can you tell me how many? So I can at least know what number she is.”
“Nine of them.” Luo Tian was counting An Chunchun in.
What a beast!
Bai Qi was stunned by the number but quickly became excited once more. He looked at his daughter, whose cheeks were as red as a red pepper, and said in a serious tone, “Yi Yunmeng will be ranked ten, and you will be eleventh.”
“Old Eleven, you have to smarten up and listen to your big sisters, got it?”
Bai Lingling was so angry that tears were coming out of her eyes. She stomped her feet and looked at Luo Tian fiercely, “I, I, I’m not joining!”
Bai Qi started laughing, “Hahaha… Why are girls so shy? Hahaha…”
At this time, Dongfang Shuo’s brows furrowed as he asked Luo Tian, “Did you say Soul Poison?
