"As an alchemist, the most important thing is money. If you want to impress him with money, how can you succeed?"
"Then how can we keep him as a guest of our Bai family?"
"Girl, you have to understand that it doesn't actually matter whether you keep this person or not. A rare talent like him cannot restrain himself for money. You must remember that with a person like this, you can only make friends and never make enemies. To protect him,
There is no guarantee that one day he will shine brilliantly, and we, the Bai family, will also be able to benefit from it. Things are unpredictable, and who can say for sure!"
Bai Qiqi nodded as if she understood.
Bai Qiye said lovingly, "Okay, you are tired after playing all day today. Go back and have a rest!"
"Well, then you should rest early." Bai Qiqi nodded obediently, then ran away.
Master Bai Qi chuckled when he saw his daughter bouncing around, and then walked back to his room.
As soon as I walked to the entrance of the garden, a familiar scent came from the sky.
Just as Bai Qiye turned around, a figure fell from the sky, and the falling trajectory was filled with bright colors.
"Second brother?" When he saw the person coming, Bai Qiye couldn't restrain his joy. He ran up and asked, "Why are you here!"
"Brother, how are you doing after not seeing you for several years?"
The man's voice was strange, sharp and harsh, making the listener feel very uncomfortable.
I saw him holding orchid fingers and constantly playing with the hair hanging down his shoulders. His long eyelashes were dense but not thick. His face was as delicate and smooth as a knife-cut melon seed. His slender waist could be covered with two palms.
However, his snow-white skin was so delicate that even a woman would be inferior in front of him.
Even though he is now in his forties, his appearance is that of a twenty-year-old man, and there is no trace of the wasted years at all.
He is Bai Xiao, the biological brother of Bai Qiye.
When he was young, he devoted himself to pursuing the way of cultivation. Later, by chance, he practiced martial arts. When he first started practicing, he didn't notice anything unusual. But as time went by, he was surprised to find that he was getting younger and younger, and then
His voice began to become shrill, then his skin began to become smooth, and finally he became this neither male nor female, and even his personality underwent a huge change.
The sudden blow made him ashamed and angry. In order not to shame the Bai family, he chose to stay away from his hometown and the Bai family.
Later, for some unknown reason, he actually started serving the royal family. Now, he is considered a very important figure in the Gu Ming Kingdom. It can be said that one person is inferior to ten thousand people.
With him secretly supporting the Bai family, the Bai family's business is booming. In just a few years, it has surpassed the Liu, Xie, and Tan families, and is considered a famous family in Gu Mingguo.
Bai Qiye came to Bai Xiao and asked in surprise, "Second brother, haven't you been serving the emperor in the palace? Why did you suddenly come back today?"
Bai Xiao's eyes were charming and delicate. He twirled the orchid and pretended to be angry, "We haven't seen each other for a long time. Do you just want to catch up with me here and not invite me in for a cup of tea?"
Master Bai Qi was accustomed to his second brother's eccentric temperament, so he sneered and quickly led Bai Xiao to the living room where guests were receiving guests.
The servant made tea for the two of them and then retired, leaving them alone to reminisce about old times.
Bai Xiao picked up the tea cup and blew gently, then took a reserved sip.
Bai Qiye and he were sitting together in the high hall. The former took a sip of tea and put down the teacup and asked, "Second brother, after not seeing each other for so many years, your breath has become so good again. It's really gratifying!"
Bai Xiao put down the teacup, covered his mouth and wiped it. There was sadness in his eyes, and he raised his orchid fingertips and said angrily, "What's the use of having a higher level of cultivation? If I hadn't been greedy for the Xuan-level martial arts Bingxin Jue, how could I have done it?"
It will make this person look like a ghost or a ghost."
As he spoke, Bai Xiao began to swallow more, and the silk scarf in his hand was wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Just when Bai Qiye wanted to comfort his younger brother, Bai Xiao threw back the silk scarf in his hand, changed his sad expression and asked with a smile, "Where is my little niece? Why don't you see her?"
This turn was so fast that Bai Qiye almost dodged his waist. The black line on one end said with a smile, "This girl is exhausted after a day of playing today. I just asked her to go back to rest. I will bring her here to greet you tomorrow morning."
.”
Bai Xiao raised her orchid fingers and shook the silk scarf in her hand forward and said, "Excuse me, I'll leave after I talk to you."
Bai Qiye wondered, "Why are you in such a hurry, second brother? You have to leave before I even have time to pick up the wind for you."
Bai Xiao stood up and took a few steps forward and said, "I came out this time because Gu Mingguo has not been in peace recently, so the emperor sent me out to investigate."
"Oh?" Bai Qiye also stood up and stepped forward to ask, "What happened? The emperor actually wants you to take action personally."
Bai Qiye knew the importance of his second brother in the court. In addition to being responsible for the emperor's food, clothing, housing and transportation, his responsibilities were to protect the emperor personally.
Although there is no shortage of people with advanced cultivation in the palace, there are very few strong people like Bai Xiao. It is easy to imagine that it is not easy to let such a person leave his side.
"In recent months, there have been frequent disappearances of cultivators. At first, everyone didn't take it seriously, but later they realized that things were unusual. Most of the missing people were martial arts experts." Bai Xiao turned around and looked at Bai Qi.
He opened his eyes and said slowly with a solemn tone, "Including the three powerful Martial Kings, there is still no news."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Qiye looked unbelievable and said with some uneasiness, "Is this impossible? Who in the Gu Ming Kingdom has the ability to kidnap so many people, and they are all Martial Spirits and Martial Kings.
Strong man, this is incredible."
"Who says it's not the case? These people all come from different places. By the time I received the news and rushed over, it was already too late. I didn't even find any traces of fighting. It's really weird!" Bai Xiao said.
He had a horrified expression on his face, as if he was extremely frightened.
Bai Qiye quickly asked, "Did the second brother find any clues when he came here this time?"
"Hey, there are no clues. I don't have any clues yet. I'm really anxious." Bai Xiao sighed, and then solemnly reminded, "I came here this time to remind you to be careful. Now the strong men of King Wu are starting to
He disappeared inexplicably, as King Wu, you must be more careful!"
Bai Qiye said gratefully, "Thank you second brother for your concern and concern. I just need to pay more attention during this period!"
