With Bai Zhaoyang and Bai Qiyu present, the guards respectfully led the few people into a courtyard deep in the clan's territory.
After making tea for them.
"Guys, please wait here for a moment, the head of the family is on his way."
After saying these words, the guard left. After hearing this, Leng Yue asked in confusion.
"Aren't your father and grandfather here now?"
"This is the clan territory of the Kyoto branch. Naturally, my father and grandfather are not here, but it is considered a relatively safe place right now."
Bai Zhaoyang said, and then said to himself.
"But in Fox Moon Immortal Palace and so on, are those people really the extinct demon clan? If so, why did they find Qiyu?"
After hearing this, Leng Yue understood that Bai Zhaoyang knew very little about Fox Yue Ring and other matters, so she did not intend to be honest about it, but just waited quietly for the arrival of the insider.
Just before the person I wanted to wait for arrived, I suddenly heard a sound.
"Hey, sister Qiyu, brother Zhaoyang, what kind of wind brings you here."
"The annoying guy is here..."
Bai Zhaoyang murmured. Hearing that Leng Yue looked back but saw no one, he sensed the psychic fluctuations behind him and discovered that it was a young man who suddenly appeared.
With his long hair tied behind his back and wearing a Bai family uniform, he asked with a rebellious smile hidden at the corner of his mouth.
"There is another beautiful lady I have never seen before. May I ask her name?"
"..., Kaguya."
"In ancient times, there were Penglai pipa songs, and now there is a glorious night coming to the world. What a good name. I am a descendant of the Bai family, Bai Zangfeng."
As soon as this person appeared, Leng Yue noticed Bai Qiyu's undisguised expression of disgust and even said bluntly.
"What are you doing here?"
"Sister Qiyu, what are you talking about? This is my Bai family's clan, so I can't come. And as the master, I naturally have to welcome you."
Bai Zangfeng said and reached out to touch Bai Qiyu's cheek. Seeing this, Bai Zhaoyang grabbed his wrist.
"Please respect yourself."
"Haha, my family is just joking, why do you care so much?"
Bai Zangfeng said, a hint of jealousy flashed under his sarcastic smile, while Bai Zhaoyang was even more direct.
As the cold air stirred up, he felt his palms gradually losing feeling. Bai Zangfeng was shocked and hurriedly threw away Bai Zhaoyang's hand.
And looking at the wrists that were purple with cold...
"Brother Zhaoyang, even if I am protecting your little wife, this is too much."
"Nonsense."
Bai Zhaoyang flicked it out with one finger, and the teacup on the table instantly hit Bai Zangfeng's chest like a cannonball.
Seeing this, Bai Zangfeng didn't dare to be careless, so he grabbed the tea cup and saw the steaming tea that had not been spilled.
"I'll treat you with some tea. Brother Zhaoyang, you don't know how to praise me."
"It depends on who it is."
"Oh, if you say that, then you have to drink this tea whether you want it or not!"
Slapping the tea cup back with a palm, Bai Zhaoyang pinched it with his free hand, but unexpectedly, the tea inside splashed and turned into ice needles flying out.
Although this move will not cause serious injury, it will definitely make Bai Zhaoyang look ugly if it succeeds.
Fortunately, Bai Zhaoyang was not an idle person. He waved his hand and caught the ice needles in his hand, throwing them back with all his strength.
"Back to you!"
The sharp edge suddenly appeared. Bai Zhaoyang had no idea that Bai Zhaoyang would have such strength, so Bai Zangfeng dodged in a hurry.
But even though he dodged most of the attacks, the last ice needle still headed towards his eyebrows, forcing him to...
Snow Hidden Front (A)!
He pulled it out with his bare hands, and the long sword made of ice crystals entered his left hand.
The sword was swung to smash the ice needle, and Bai Zangfeng staggered back a few steps, but when he touched his stinging cheek, scarlet liquid flowed out, which turned out to be the wound scratched by the ice needle.
"How dare you make me look embarrassed?"
"If you are not good at studying, you can't blame others."
"Okay, then let me see what progress you have made over the years. Let me see what you can do!"
Bai Zangfeng came forward with an ice sword in hand, and Bai Zhaoyang threw out his ice sword to meet the enemy.
The blades collided, and the two sides went back and forth, but it was Bai Zhaoyang who suppressed Bai Zangfeng more.
Leng Yue was deeply puzzled by this and asked Bai Qiyu beside her.
"Hey, what on earth is going on?"
"Don't worry about Leng Yue. Let Brother Zhaoyang teach this scumbag a lesson. I don't think anyone can protect him without his father."
Bai Qiyu gritted her teeth and said, that angry look was definitely not ordinary hatred.
At the same time, Bai Zangfeng had been forced back step by step by Bai Zhaoyang, and was finally forced to a point of no return.
"Damn it, you forced me to do this, let's see what you do!"
A sword was swung out, and Bai Zhaoyang blocked it calmly, but unexpectedly Bai Zangfeng swung his right hand.
Swish, swish, swish!
Ice needles flew out one after another, Bai Zhaoyang's pupils squinted, and then he blocked it with a side knife, but the ice needles continued to fly towards Bai Qiyu behind her. Seeing this...
"Oops!"
It was during this moment of confusion that Bai Zangfeng seized the opportunity.
"You're careless!"
Taking the initiative to break the blade, Bai Zangfeng slashed out with the broken sword of his left hand. Bai Zhaoyang hurriedly ducked down to avoid it, but his long hair was also cut off.
He raised his foot and kicked Bai Zangfeng back, and he landed gracefully on the table, as for Bai Qiyu and Leng Yue.
"Qiyu, how are you?"
"Don't worry, I'm still here."
Leng Yue said, and then he saw a shuriken nailed to a tree trunk in the courtyard, and there were several broken ice needles passing by. Apparently Leng Yue took action to resolve the crisis, but...
"Hmm~" Putting a strand of hair in his hand to the tip of his nose and sniffing it, Bai Zangfeng mocked. "Brother Zhaoyang, you are so ridiculous that you are neither male nor female."
Being so humiliated, Bai Zhaoyang, with his long hair disheveled, wanted to fight back, but he didn't wait for her to move.
"I don't know what kind of hatred there is between you, but as a host, it's a bit uncomfortable for you to greet your guests like this."
Leng Yue spoke out, and after hearing this, Bai Zangfeng spoke frankly.
"Oh, of course you, this beautiful young lady, can be a guest, but as for other people... I don't know, what do you think, do you want me to show you around the Bai family manor?"
Bai Zangfeng's evil smile appeared, and Leng Yue snorted lightly when he saw it.
"I'm not responsible for him being injured."
"It doesn't matter if you die."
"Okay~"
Leng Yue said, gently hooking her hands.
Just when Bai Zangfeng thought that the other party was going to take action against him, he suddenly saw a girl walking towards him with graceful steps.
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Didn't you say you wanted to take me for a walk?"
"..." Confusion flashed briefly in his eyes, and then Bai Zangfeng seemed to be possessed by a demon. "I wish you all the best!"
He reached out to grab the girl, and when her soft and delicate body fell into his arms.
Magical Tree Binding Killing!
Click, click, click!
Leng Yue's phantom body turned into a tree, and the vines extending out tightly bound Bai Zangfeng in place.
"What...what is this?"
Before he could react, he suddenly saw sharp thorns stabbing him. The severe pain on his body made him cry out in pain. Then he looked at the sharp branches of dead branches heading straight towards his eyes...
"!!!"
At the critical moment, I suddenly heard a loud shout.
"Who caused trouble in my Bai family!"
It was this chilling sound wave that caused Bai Zangfeng to immediately recover from the illusion.
As cold sweat soaked his back, he gasped and knelt down weakly, and then Leng Yue closed her eyes tightly.
Shinra Tianzheng!
No one saw the strange look in her eyes, only the repulsive force spreading rapidly.
At the same time that the sound wave was broken, Bai Zangfeng was hit hard and flew backwards with blood oozing from his mouth.
After landing, he looked at Leng Yue in horror. The next second, a man landed in front of him from the sky.
"Father...Father!"
"Um!"
Seeing his seriously injured son, Bai Luo frowned. When his anger showed, he turned his attention to Leng Yue and others.
But after seeing two of them, he was shocked.
"Qiyu! Zhaoyang!"
"Uncle Luo, you're fine."
Bai Zhaoyang said, Bai Luo probably understood something after hearing this, so he yelled behind him.
"Idiot, you still won't back down."
"Father, they..."
Bai Luo glared at him, and Bai Zangfeng could only grit his teeth angrily and leave, but the vicious look in his eyes before leaving made Leng Yue feel a little uncomfortable.
To be honest, they are both members of the Bai family, so when they meet, they feel like they are meeting the enemy who killed their father.
However, Leng Yue did not expect that he was half right...
"The family members of the clan are here. The head of the branch family, Bai Luo, is a little disappointed in his welcome. I hope you will forgive me."
Bai Luo said respectfully, after all, for a family with a strict hierarchy like the Bai family, the clan and branch families are inherently class-repressed.
However...this is only a superficial effort. Judging from Bai Luo's calm expression, times seem to have changed.
Because the head of the branch family actually calls himself the head of the family?
Could it be that the Bai family has two heads, Bai Qianshan and Bai Luo? This is no joke, so Leng Yue guessed something based on this, and Bai Zhaoyang did not lose the majesty of the clan at all.
"Uncle Luo, how could it be your fault that I came without telling you? It's Brother Zangfeng..."
"You don't care what an idiot does."
"Idiot? I don't think he is stupid."
"So, young master, you think that I, Luo, am deceiving you."
Bai Luo no longer showed weakness and chose to confront Bai Zhaoyang tit for tat.
After all, this is the Bai family in Kyoto, not the Bai family in Yangdu!
It's a pity that he neglected a little bit...
"Brother Luo, I haven't seen you for a long time. Your strength has not improved much, but your temper has improved a bit."
A sound came from outside the courtyard, and Bai Luo could be heard frowning.
Followed by a group of descendants of the Bai family, Bai Qianshan ignored the many guards of the branch and rushed in directly.
"Bai Qianshan!" When he called out the name, Bai Luo rolled his eyes and then resumed his fake smile. "Haha, brother Qianshan is laughing. We haven't had much contact with each other recently, and suddenly he didn't even say hello."
"When I return to the Bai family, do I still need to say hello to my family?"
"That's natural." Bai Luo apologized, explaining what it means to hide a sword in a smile, and asked again tentatively, "May I ask if the clan leader is here with you?"
"Father is already waiting in the reception room. Oh, I forgot to mention that you have not neglected the distinguished guests that father is waiting for."
"Brother Bai is right. I have a lot of misunderstandings just now. I would like to thank Haihan."
Bai Luo was convinced, and Leng Yue didn't say anything about it.
And Bai Qianshan surrendered.
"This is Miss Kaguya. I apologize to you on behalf of the Bai family. My father has been waiting for a long time. Please come with me."
"good."
After Leng Yue gave Bai Qianshan this face, Bai Luo's face turned even darker. Doesn't this mean that he cannot represent the Bai family?
Seeing several people leaving, he understood that it was his stupid son who had done something good, and he cursed secretly.
"You cause trouble for me all the time. When you get back, I will deal with you, you brat."
After saying that, several people moved into the living room and took their seats.
Bai Qiyu was taken away alone by Bai Qianshan, and there were only Leng Yue and Bai Zhaoyang in the room, so she took the initiative to ask.
"I didn't expect that even your grandfather would be alarmed."
"It's a very important matter at this time. After I informed him, he hurried over as a frost and snow flying eagle."
"He does care about you and Qiyu."
Bai Zhaoyang did not comment, but Leng Yue asked again.
"What is the relationship between Bai Luo and his son and you? Why are we both members of the Bai family? When you meet, it's like you are meeting enemies."
Leng Yue asked, not mentioning it, but after mentioning it, murderous intent suddenly appeared in Bai Zhaoyang's eyes.
"It's not an exaggeration for me to kill that scoundrel and his thief father."
"!!!"
Leng Yue was slightly surprised. If it were the ordinary Bai family, no one would mention this past event. However, Bai Zhaoyang was different. As a witness with his own eyes, he spoke frankly.
The Bai family has been divided into two clans since ancient times. People cultivated by the clan will join the branch family except those who are directly related by blood. The responsibility of the clan branch is to maintain the status of the clan family. However, as the Bai family branch grows stronger, the balance is broken.
.
By dividing the clan and recruiting side clans, they, who were originally weak, gained the right to speak against the Zong family, and with tolerance, they used the manpower and resources that the Zong family continuously sent to them to develop, so that they have reached the current scale.
And if you have strength, you will use it to seek power, and the control of the clan is bound to conflict with it. This long-awaited explosive barrel was triggered by an 'accidental' fuse during the last ancestor worship ceremony of the clan, division, and three neighboring families.
Burned.
Everyone in the Bai family knows that the daughter of Bai Qianhe, the head of the Zong family, has acquired a strong bloodline. With her, she will gain the majority of the Bai family's say. For this reason, many young talents from the Bai family have flocked to the family, including some of them.
The legitimate son Bai Zangfeng.
After failing to get married according to the family contract, he felt humiliated and broke into Qiyu's room under the influence of alcohol. He was about to commit an obscene act, but was stopped by Bai Zhaoyang, who was protecting Bai Qiyu.
Everyone was outraged by such an act of sloppiness. Bai Qianhe chilled the right hand of Bai Zangfeng, the legitimate son of the branch family, on the spot, so that his right hand could no longer hold the "Snow Realm Zangfeng" that the branch family was proud of.
As a result, although the time has not yet come, the leader of the branch family, Bai Luo Yifen, is eager to protect his son, and the two other families are trying to protect Bai Zangfeng. As a result, his thoughts are exposed, and the clan, Fen, and the other three families gradually drift apart.
The clan family lived in the central capital, and the branch families lived in Kyoto to win over the Li family in Kyoto to gain a place.
But at this time, there was apparently only one family head, until Bai Qianhe's death.
When monsters attack, the descendants of the Bai family rush to help Lancheng, leaving Bai Qianhe alone to guard the central capital.
Bai Luo promised to support him, but he refused to leave Kyoto on the pretext of being blocked by monsters. As a result, Bai Qianhe, a new-generation S-class psyker, died in the battle to protect the people of the capital.
But in the end, the behemoth of disaster that he subdued fell into the hands of the Bai family members who saw the opportunity and arrived later.
Using the excuse of 'preventing the disaster beast from causing trouble', Bai Luo took away the disaster beast and returned to Kyoto, leaving only the descendants of the Bai family who had come to the rescue in front of the ruined ancient city of Central Capital to cover their faces and weep.
At this point, the clan divisions were completely broken, and the Bai family in the central capital was nominally the orthodox one. However, over the years, relying on the prestige of 'sealing the disaster beast', the Bai family in the capital had gained a status that was not inferior to it, and even had the intention to replace it.
It's a pity that the Zong family still has a "Sword Master Bai Yi", and he has nothing when he separates the family.
But as Bai Yi gets older and older, the branch family becomes more and more active. It is conceivable how bad the situation of the Bai family will be after the death of these two generations of S-level masters.
Maybe this is the reason why Bai Qianshan wants to get the power from Bai Qiyu's body even if he violates the group training.
After all, this may be the last line of defense to protect the Bai family, otherwise...
Bai Luo's helplessness back then may have fallen on him, Bai Qianshan, the head of the family who was forced to take over after the death of his brother.
After listening to Bai Zhaoyang's story, Leng Yue had to sigh with emotion.
It seems that the so-called aristocratic family is not as glamorous as it seems on the surface...
Just as she was thinking, footsteps came from outside the door.
