Zhou Tai was definitely not hallucinating this time.
The smile gradually faded, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
And the faces of everyone around him were filled with astonishment.
Everyone couldn't understand why Bai Yan refused such a good thing?
But they were surprised. This result was what they wanted to see.
Someone deliberately cursed: "Yanbai, you are so brave. The county governor thinks highly of you, but you dare to refuse."
These words are obviously suspected of provocation.
But Zhou Tai ignored it.
He looked at Bai Yan again and said, "Give me a reason."
"My father's whereabouts are unknown now. Yanbai once vowed to find him. Before finding my father, it would be unfilial to recognize someone else as my father.
Iwanbai doesn’t want to be an unfilial person.”
Bai Yan's expression was extremely serious, and his look showed just the right amount of sadness when he spoke.
He added: "So, I hope the county governor will forgive me!"
Hearing this, Zhou Tai looked deeply at Bai Yan for three seconds, and his expression softened slightly.
What Bai Yan said was the truth, and it was a true expression of his true feelings. Naturally, Zhou Tai couldn't see the flaw.
"So, Zhou is being abrupt."
Another smile appeared on Zhou Tai's face.
Although it was a bit embarrassing, he could already accept the reason given by Bai Yan.
Then he said: "In that case, I won't embarrass you, but if I invite you to be my guest in the governor's house, you can't refuse."
Zhou Tai is determined to infiltrate the Lingxi Sect.
Therefore, even if Bai Yan cannot be adopted as his adopted son, he must be tied to the warship of the governor's mansion.
But this time Bai Yan obviously had no way to refuse.
"Then thank you, Lord Sheriff, for your kindness." Bai Yan nodded in agreement.
If he refuses again, he will undoubtedly offend the county governor, and if he offends the aristocratic family and the county governor at the same time, then his situation in Dongling County will be difficult.
"Hahaha, okay, this county governor announces that from now on Yan Bai will be a senior guest of my county governor's house, and he can enter and leave the county governor's house at will.
Enjoy the salary of the county governor."
Seeing Bai Yan nodding, Zhou Tai immediately said loudly in public.
In front of so many important people, it was considered as an announcement to the whole city.
From then on, Bai Yan was labeled as the Sheriff's Mansion, giving him an extra layer of protection.
Moreover, in the eyes of everyone, Bai Yan, a high-ranking guest official, is actually not much different from an adopted son.
"Congratulations, Lord Sheriff!"
Everyone had complicated expressions, but at this time they could only say congratulations.
Through Bai Yan, the Sheriff's Office has officially reached out to the Lingxi Sect.
Moreover, with the support of the Sheriff's Office and the news that Bai Yan has mastered the Nine Thunder Zhengtian Jue, Xizhao Peak may immediately change its previous decline.
"Brother Yan, congratulations."
Bai Yan returned to his seat and Lin Huoer said with a smile.
Bai Yan smiled and said nothing more.
At this moment, he felt very strange in his heart.
As a result of this incident, the two sides, who were supposed to be fighting each other to the death, are now on the same front.
He was wondering if Zhou Tai would be so angry that he would vomit three liters of blood if he knew the true cause of Zhou Yuan's death in the future.
"We can't be exposed now." He thought to himself.
No one will challenge Bai Yan again, and no one wants to show themselves.
Singing and dancing resumed in the venue. Although the atmosphere was warm, everyone had their own thoughts at this time.
If it weren't for the need to give face to the county guard, many people would have left long ago.
What happened today was so shocking that many people needed to go back and prepare.
The banquet lasted until sunset, when people started bidding farewell to Zhou Tai.
At this time, Bai Yan also came over. Before he could speak, Zhou Tai smiled and said, "What? Are you leaving too?"
You are now a guest of the county government, and you have a place to live in the county government."
Bai Yan smiled and said, "No, my daughter is still waiting for me to go back, and I'm used to living in Xizhao Peak."
"Okay, come back and sit here often when you have time."
He did remember that when he met Su Yuexi and Bai Yan in Daqingshan, Bai Yan was indeed holding a little baby.
Then he added: "Since you have become a guest of my county governor's mansion, the Xizhao Peak where you are located cannot be too shabby. I will arrange for someone to send you a batch of resources there."
Investment is the first step to penetration.
Once the resources are available, Zhou Tai will definitely start arranging for some people from the county governor's house to go in.
With the Sheriff's Mansion as the background of Sunset Peak, it can be said that taking off is inevitable.
"Thank you so much, Lord Sheriff, I'll take my leave now." Bai Yan smiled again.
"Go ahead."
"Grandpa, Brother Yan and I have gone back to Lingxi Sect. You can go home alone."
At this time, Lin Huoer also said to Mr. Lin who came over.
"You girl, go ahead and practice hard." Mr. Lin said with a smile.
.......
Bai Yan was also a little helpless, ever since she told Lin Huo'er about the Nine Tribulations Reincarnation Pupil on the ladder.
The two of them knew each other's secrets, so Lin Huo'er naturally became much closer to him and became somewhat dependent on him.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the county gate, a figure stood in front of them.
It's Su Jinlong.
He carried a broad sword on his back, and his temperament was sharp and cold.
Su Zhenxiong and Su Yingxia were not there, so Bai Yan walked over with a frown on his face.
Asked: "Are you waiting for me?"
"good."
Su Jinlong looked at him without any emotion in his eyes.
Bai Yan said again: "You want to fight with me? Why didn't you challenge me directly in the manor before?"
Su Jinlong shook his head: "I don't want to be the sword used by the county guard to test you, and you are too weak now.
Ten days, I am giving you ten days. In ten days, you and I will fight at Lingxi Sect Fengyuntai. I hope you can come.
Let’s fight to resolve the grievances between the Su family and you.”
After saying this, the aura on Su Jinlong's body was revealed for a second, and it actually reached the level of the ninth level of the sea. It was even half a step stronger than the ninth level of the sea. It should be half a step to the spiritual platform.
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Jinlong turned around and left.
Bai Yan and Lin Huo'er were left with a cold and unrestrained figure.
"Tsk, tsk, it's really embarrassing."
Looking at Su Jinlong's back, Bai Yan chuckled.
He thought to himself, "Do you think my cultivation level is low? But a half-step spiritual platform is also very weak in my eyes."
Lin Huo'er on the side sighed: "As expected of the master of Jianfeng Peak, Su Jinlong is one of the most powerful among all the aristocratic families in Dongling City."
Hearing this, Bai Yan said: "His cultivation is pretty good, but he is also the oldest among the younger generation."
"That's true, take the Su family as an example. With Sister Yue Xi's talent at his age, she should be better than him." Lin Huo'er nodded.
He added: "However, sometimes in martial arts, age is also an advantage. In a battle, strength is what matters after all."
"What about you?" Bai Yan asked with a smile again.
"I can surpass him next year at most." Lin Huoer is full of confidence in herself.
