Chapter 149 The White Crane's Conditions
Yu Tianyun cleared his throat and spoke slowly and deliberately:
"Chief Bai, as the chief of the Min clan, you wouldn't want to see your people living in poverty, without even the resources to improve their cultivation. Besides, I think Miss Xiangxiang has quite good talent, and you wouldn't want her talent to be buried and wasted away."
After speaking, Yu Tianyun stared intently at Bai He's face, but after a moment, he couldn't help but frown. Bai He, however, still wore a faint smile, leisurely savoring the tea that Bai Chenxiang had just brought over.
"Wait a minute, shouldn't the script have it that Baihe felt guilty after being touched on a sensitive topic, and ultimately had to reluctantly give up her beloved pet?"
Yu Tianyun was momentarily lost in confusion, filled with doubt.
"Young Master Yu, are you finished?"
The white crane asked in a calm tone.
In fact, if Yu Tianyun had said that earlier, Bai He might have truly felt guilty as he had expected. Of course, he also felt a little guilty at this moment, but he had already thought of a more appropriate way.
"That's all."
Yu Tianyun responded in a muffled voice.
"Then I'll begin."
Bai He glanced at Yu Tianyun, and seeing him nod, he put down his teacup and slowly said:
"I can give you the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, but you have to agree to one condition!"
"What are the conditions?"
Yu Tianyun's heart stirred, and he pondered to himself:
"That old guy is definitely up to no good! Let's see what he's going to say."
Bai He narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile, "I want you to marry my granddaughter. If you agree, not only will I offer you the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng with both hands, but I will also lead the Min Clan to join your Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect. How about it? My condition is very simple, isn't it!"
Bai He was secretly pleased. His granddaughter was beautiful and talented, and had a good chance of becoming a Title Douluo in the future. The people of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan were known for their lust, and he didn't believe Yu Tianyun wouldn't be tempted and agree.
Given the Bai family's current situation, it would indeed hinder Bai Chenxiang's cultivation and waste her talent. If the two families were to unite through marriage, Bai Chenxiang would certainly not lack cultivation resources, and would the Bai family ever lack money in the future? Of course not.
Furthermore, the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng is indeed somewhat of a liability to the Bai family, but even if they sell it for a million at once, they will eventually spend it all.
If he joins the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, he'll have a constant stream of resources. He, Bai He, can tell the difference between a full meal and a regular meal.
Moreover, he had seen the assistance the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect had given him over the years. They had truly been very kind to him. Over the years, Bai He had also let go of some of his pride. Joining the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect was not shameful!
But most importantly, he had his eye on Yu Tianyun's talent. Yang Wudi had told him that two and a half years ago, Yu Tianyun's cultivation was already close to that of a Soul Master, and at that time Yu Tianyun was only fifteen years old! If his granddaughter were to marry him, it would be a huge advantage. That was why Bai He made this decision.
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianyun instantly understood Bai He's thoughts, but he did not reply immediately. Instead, he frowned and pondered.
Although agreeing to this matter would not only grant him the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng but also a beautiful woman, he was unwilling to do so and did not want to force himself.
First of all, he now looks down on the Bai family because their Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan is getting stronger and stronger, and his own strength has reached the level of a Title Douluo. The Bai family's addition would be of little benefit to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan.
If it were the Breaking Clan, Yu Tianyun would have agreed without hesitation. The Breaking Clan is far more useful than the Agile Clan. Firstly, the Breaking Clan is capable of supporting themselves, so the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan wouldn't have to bear too much of a burden. Secondly, the Breaking Clan is a considerable force; Yang Wudi can be considered one of the best among Soul Douluos, far stronger than Bai He.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan isn't a charity; subduing the Min Clan is a sure-fire way to lose money!
Also, as I said before, although Bai Chenxiang is beautiful, she is not Yu Tianyun's type, and Yu Tianyun does not want to waste time trying to temper Bai Chenxiang's arrogant nature like he did with Ning Rongrong.
Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, Yu Tianyun clasped his hands and said:
"Chief Bai, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. Matters between men and women require mutual affection, and Miss Xiangxiang and I have only met once. If we act rashly like this, I'm afraid Miss Xiangxiang will also be dissatisfied."
The implied rejection in Yu Tianyun's words was quite obvious, and he didn't believe Bai He wouldn't understand.
Sure enough, Bai He frowned slightly, but quickly regained his smile and said:
"Don't worry, Young Master Yu, Xiangxiang will definitely agree."
"Sigh, it seems this white crane is determined to make me her sugar daddy. What a hassle!"
Yu Tianyun sighed inwardly, then said solemnly:
"Chief Bai, to be honest, I already have several fiancées. Aren't you worried that Miss Xiangxiang will suffer if she comes with me?"
Upon hearing this, Baihe was indeed somewhat displeased, but considering his own predicament, he couldn't help but sigh silently.
"Xiangxiang, Grandpa is sorry, but for the sake of the family, I hope you can understand Grandpa."
Then he took a deep breath and said:
"It's normal for men to have multiple wives and concubines!"
"Well, this white crane is really stubborn as a mule."
Yu Tianyun couldn't help but feel somewhat helpless, but he still wanted to struggle a little longer:
"Chief Bai, I can raise the price again, 200 million gold soul coins, is that alright?"
"The crystal blood ginseng can only be part of Xiangxiang's dowry."
"Chief Bai, what about 300 million gold soul coins? That's my bottom line!"
"Does Young Master Yu look down on me, Bai? Is this a matter of money?"
……
"Hmph, does Young Master Yu think my Xiangxiang is so worthless?"
Finally, Bai He suddenly stood up, his face flushed, and glared angrily at Yu Tianyun, his white hair flying wildly behind him even without wind.
Yu Tianyun's repeated rejections became unbearable for the already proud Bai He. His pride turned into anger, and a fierce pressure burst forth from his body. Although he mainly cultivated speed, he was still a Soul Douluo powerhouse.
Yu Tianyun met the white crane's fiery gaze with a calm smile; the white crane's oppressive aura was nothing more than a gentle breeze to him.
Then, Yu Tianyun said confidently:
"Chief Bai, how about this? I've always been extremely interested in speed. How about we have a speed contest? If I win, Chief Bai, you'll sell me the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, and I'll offer you the full 300 million Gold Soul Coins. If I lose, I'll agree to Chief Bai's terms and offer 100 million Gold Soul Coins as a betrothal gift. What do you say?"
Upon hearing this, Bai He was immediately tempted, but also somewhat resentful. Speed was the greatest asset of their Agile Clan. Although Yu Tianyun appeared calm and collected under his pressure, he absolutely refused to believe that he could lose to him in speed. Speed was Bai He's greatest pride, and he didn't think Yu Tianyun was qualified to compare with him. So he coldly snorted and said:
"Hmph, if Young Master Yu can surpass my granddaughter in speed, then come and compete with me."
His words actually contained a hint of cleverness. Although he couldn't sense Yu Tianyun's cultivation level, two and a half years ago he wasn't even a Soul Master, so now he was at most a High-Level Soul Master.
His granddaughter is currently a level 27 Great Soul Master; in terms of speed alone, she's no less impressive than a high-level Soul Grandmaster. Letting the two spar will give them more opportunities to interact, and who knows, maybe sparks will fly!
