Although he just heard Bai Jinfan say that he might become the head of the family, Bai Yichen knew that the key to whether he could become the head of the family was Lou Yun, and for Lou Yun, he also regarded him as his eldest brother and family member from the bottom of his heart.
, so after a fierce ideological struggle, he decided to put the temptation of the family master behind him.
Lou Yun is his eldest brother. He must not deliberately flatter Lou Yun in order to realize his wish. That would not only be an insult to himself, but also disrespectful to Lou Yun. Therefore, he could treat this matter as nothing.
If the same thing happens, continue practicing calmly.
But now that he heard Lou Yun's words, he suddenly opened his eyes. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately understood that the conversation between him and the head of the family just now must have been heard by Lou Yun.
Facing Lou Yun's sincere face full of smiles, Bai Yichen hesitated for a moment and then said: "Brother Lou, if you say you don't want to be the head of the family, that's a lie, but I also know that if you become the head of the family through some unfair means,
, I will definitely not be able to sit in this position for a long time, and everyone in the family will not obey me, so if I want to become the head of the family, I need to put in more effort to practice and improve my strength. As long as I am strong
If I have the strength, then I can become the head of the family in an upright and dignified manner!"
"good!"
Bai Yichen's answer made Lou Yun very satisfied. He also reached out and patted his shoulder and said: "Yichen, as long as you have this determination, then your efforts will definitely be rewarded. I am very optimistic about you.
Practice hard, and if you have any questions you don’t understand, you can ask me at any time. In addition, this is a little gift from big brother."
Five pieces of sixth-grade spiritual crystals appeared in front of Bai Yichen, and these were the gifts that Bai Jinfan had given to Lou Yun as the elder of the Bai family.
"this……"
Although Lou Yun didn't take the sixth-grade spiritual crystal in his eyes, for Bai Yichen, it was the first time in his life that he had seen it. How could he dare to accept such a precious gift? But as soon as he opened his mouth, he was
Lou Yun interrupted with a smile: "Okay, I don't need to be so polite with you, brother, I'm going to practice too!"
After finishing speaking, Lou Yun turned around and walked back to the room with a smile, while Bai Yichen stared blankly at the five sparkling spiritual crystals in front of him, his eyes becoming moist unknowingly!
…
After Bai Jinfan and the others left the courtyard far away, the master of the Bai family breathed a long sigh of relief.
Turning their heads, Bai Jinfan and Bai Jinfan looked at each other, and both saw the palpitation in each other's eyes.
Although Bai Jinming's challenge just now was a bit risky, it completely confirmed their guess about Lou Yun's identity.
A real soldier would appear in their family and take a fancy to a member of the clan. This was something they could not imagine.
Bai Jinfan asked in a deep voice: "Jin Ming, how did you feel during the fight with Senior Lou just now?"
Bai Jinming showed a wry smile on his face and said: "Strong! Senior Lou is too strong. I had already used all my strength just now. Even my father did not dare to catch the blow with my bare hands. However, Lou
Not only did Senior follow, but he did it so easily, brother, I guess Senior Lou is not just an ordinary soldier, but has reached a high level of soldier!"
Bai Jinfan had thought of this just now, but now he wanted to hear how his brother felt. He nodded and said, "Yes, I feel that way too."
Thinking of Lou Yun's young face and his miraculous weapon refining skills, both of them were filled with emotion.
At this time, Bai Fanmao secretly glanced at the two of them and said: "Master, Second Uncle, since Senior Lou has such a strong strength, can you please ask them to come forward for our Bai family and help us in this competition with the other two major families?"
What about winning?"
Bai Jinfan's face moved slightly, but he quickly shook his head and said: "Senior Lou is a soldier. With this status, how can he stand up for our Bai family? If he can agree to be the guest elder of our Bai family, he is already a gift to us."
It’s enough for our face.”
Bai Fanmao still refused to give up and said: "Master, Senior Lou is very fond of Yi Chen. If Yi Chen is allowed to plead, maybe he will agree?"
In fact, Bai Jinfan didn't want Lou Yun to stand up for the Bai family, but he still hesitated and said, "That's good, that's good, but I'm worried that Yi Chen can't speak. If he annoys him, it will cause trouble for the Bai family."
"disaster"
"Don't worry, head of the family, even though Yi Chen is not very talented, he can still do this kind of thing."
"In this case, you can ask Yi Chen to see me later, and I will tell him personally!"
Bai Fanmao respectfully agreed. The reason why he made this suggestion rashly was naturally because of what Bai Jinfan said just now. If his son can really persuade Lou Yun to stand up for the Bai family, then even if he does not
The son cannot sit as the head of the family, but his status in the Bai family will definitely improve.
…
Bai Fanmao waited patiently for two days before his son came out of seclusion. After he confessed to Lou Yun, he immediately took Bai Yichen to see Bai Jinfan.
After leaving his courtyard and following his father towards the depths of Baijiazhuang, Bai Yichen immediately noticed that the people of the Bai family he met along the way looked at him very differently from before.
Not only did no one dare to look at him with contempt anymore, but everyone who saw him was respectful and extremely humble. This was not because they knew that Bai Yichen might become the head of the Bai family, but because Bai Yifan was killed.
The news about Yun's lesson has spread throughout the Bai family.
Although Bai Yichen could not completely forget how he was treated in the past, after all, we are all a family, so he did not become really arrogant just because he had Lou Yun's support now. On the contrary, he treated everyone just like before.
, they are all very polite and smile and say hello.
Arriving at Bai Jinfan's courtyard, he walked in without any obstruction, but Bai Jinfan, the head of the family, had been standing in the courtyard waiting for a long time.
The moment he saw Bai Yichen, a trace of surprise flashed across Bai Jinfan's face, because he discovered that in just two days, Bai Yichen's cultivation had improved significantly, and he had already reached the peak of Advanced Three Stars.
You will soon be able to break through to the advanced four-star level. You must know that Bai Yichen only has three days to enter the advanced three-star level!
Bai Jinfan's face was full of smiles, he looked at Bai Yichen and said: "Yi Chen, you have made great progress in the past two days of retreat. It's not bad. I really don't know how Senior Lou trained you!"
Bai Yichen answered honestly: "The master of the house, Mr. Lou, did not teach me, but he gave me half of the ten spiritual crystals you gave him!"
Originally, Bai Yichen wanted to call Lou Yun his eldest brother, but since the head of the family called Lou Yun his senior, how could he have the courage to call him eldest brother, so he temporarily changed the title.
"Senior Lou gave you five pieces of sixth-grade spiritual crystals?"
Bai Yichen's answer made Bai Jinfan full of surprise again. Although the sixth-grade spiritual crystal is not the top and best spiritual crystal, it is still valuable. Most people regard it as a treasure, but Lou Yun doesn't care at all.
Give half to Bai Yichen!
Such a generous investment made Bai Jinfan realize that Lou Yun was not only a highly skilled man, but also a weapons refiner, and his net worth should also be extremely rich!
However, it can also be seen from Lou Yun's actions that Lou Yun really values Bai Yichen, so the hesitation in Bai Jinfan's heart was finally dispelled.
Next, Bai Jinfan became an amiable elder and began to ask about Bai Yichen's daily diet and living conditions with concern. Although Bai Yichen knew that this was all thanks to Lou Yun, he was still inevitably extremely moved.
Finally, Bai Jinfan changed the topic and finally revealed his true purpose, which was to hope that Bai Yichen could help plead with Lou Yun to stand up for the Bai family and participate in this martial arts competition!
Although Bai Yichen felt extremely embarrassed, this matter related to the interests of the entire Bai family, so he could only bite the bullet and agreed.
After returning to his room, Lou Yun didn't ask him what he was doing when he left. He just asked him to continue practicing. However, because he had something on his mind, Bai Yichen couldn't calm down at all, and naturally he couldn't hide all this from Lou Yun.
Frowning slightly, Lou Yun asked: "Yi Chen, what's on your mind?"
Following Bai Jinfan's instructions, Bai Yichen suddenly turned over and knelt down in front of Lou Yun and said: "Brother Lou, I do have something on my mind!"
After getting along with each other in the past few days, Lou Yun had already asked Bai Yichen not to pay such a big courtesy to him. Unexpectedly, Bai Yichen knelt down again. Unexpectedly, he had no time to stop him.
However, he did not immediately pull Bai Yichen up. He frowned more tightly and said, "Yichen, since you and I are brothers, your affairs are naturally my affairs. If you tell me what is on your mind, as long as I can
If you can help, you will never sit idly by!"
Bai Yichen felt a little relieved and said quickly: "Brother, I am worried about the competition in a month. If our clan is defeated, the area occupied by our Bai family will be reduced again, and we may even be driven out of Dongjun."
Lou Yun was slightly startled and said: "What kind of competition?"
So Bai Yichen hurriedly told the whole story in detail.
It turns out that in East County, the areas occupied by the three major aristocratic families are not static. The three major aristocratic families will compete every ten years, and the winner will divide half of the area originally owned by the loser.
Except for the Gongsun family, which is the most powerful, the Bai family was actually on par with the Xu family. However, ten years ago, the Xu family defeated the Bai family and took away half of the Bai family's territory. Now, ten years have passed.
, According to the Bai family’s understanding, the strength of the people from the Xu family participating in the competition this time is also higher than that of the Bai family, so the Bai family’s winning rate is not high.
But if the Bai family loses again this time, half of Baiyun City will be given to others. Then the area occupied by the Bai family in East County is too small, and it is very likely that the Bai family will be driven out of East County.
After hearing this, Lou Yun frowned again and said, "Who are the people from the three major families participating in the competition? Are they the strongest or ordinary disciples of the clan?"
