Chapter 139: Pretty Boys Scheme

The visiting members of the Bai family this time consists entirely of direct bloodline members, meaning all twenty individuals in this group are blood relatives, a real family.

For such ancient clans, as long as they haven't officially recorded a dual-cultivation partner in the family genealogy, they are considered unmarried. The people brought by Bai Changge are all unmarried individuals.

Before coming, Bai Changge explained the profound principles of sacrificing for the family. Everyone has prepared themselves for the possibility of sacrificing their lives. Besides, whoever marries that Granny becomes the next head of the Bai family. They're not particularly unwilling, considering that in the long years of Dao cultivation, having or not having a cultivation partner doesn't make much difference. Moreover, this person is called Granny, so she's definitely of a considerable age, yet remains a low-level cultivator-- her innate talent must be limited. They're all young, so why not? They should live longer than Granny, right?

To show sincerity, the Bai family members are refraining from using their divine senses to probe and instead crane their necks to look. They see the woman under the pile of white skin that is the Word Spirt, rubbing its belly. She suddenly lifts her head. Her flowing sleeves are rolled up to the elbows, and she has tied the sleeve cuffs with flexible twine, making it more convenient.

After lifting her head, she wipes the sweat off her forehead with the back of her hand. Her face is flushed from the sun. Not as aloof and elegant as the female cultivators from the Upper Realm, but there's an indescribable beauty about her.

"Um, is that the Granny mentioned by the Word Spirit?" If there were some reservations in their hearts before, seeing the real person now, the young people are excited and can't wait to whisper to each other.

"She's really beautiful. I think she could make it to the list of beauties in the True Immortal Realm," says a young clan member.

"Much more beautiful than I imagined," another person whispers. He glances at Bai Su and continues, "Before coming, someone kept downplaying the master of the Word Spirit. Was it to prevent us from competing with him?"

Bai Su chuckles but remains silent.

"Just doesn't seem like a typical female cultivator, dressing so messily, and her movements are a bit rough. Beautiful, yes, but she lacks some elegance in temperament."

The group critiques Su Tingyun from head to toe. Bai Changge clears his throat and then says expressionlessly, "The material of the ring on her hand can't be discerned; it's definitely not ordinary. The twine she uses to tie her sleeves is the root of the Kunlun Divine Tree. The spirit beast she's rubbing is the Word Spirt. Even the formation of this Obliteration Sword Tower, haven't you noticed? It is fundamentally unbreakable?"

They’re so busy scrutinizing others, unaware of their own current position.

Initially, Bai Changge thought this person was just lucky in taming the Word Spirit, but now, upon meeting the real deal, realizes it's not that simple.

"Remember, it’s the other party choosing you now, not you choosing her. " Bai Changge snorts coldly, then brushes his sleeve and respectfully bows, saying, "The Bai family from the True Immortal Realm ventures to visit, and we hope for your understanding."

This group of people has high cultivation levels, and the cultivators from the Upper Realms usually don’t use spiritual energy when they come to the Lower Realm. Su Tingyun's group is entirely unaware of the newcomers outside. Now, startled by the sudden voice, they are all frozen in place. Even the soft leaves on Big Bai's head immediately stand on end. Everyone looks in the direction of the sound and, lo and behold, sees a circle of handsome men.

Su Tingyun's inner turmoil is evident. She feels like she's developed face blindness; everyone looks so good that she can't distinguish one from the other. Scanning over one person, she finds him familiar, but still can't recall where she has seen him before.

In the end, it's Big Bai who chirps and greets Bai Su, "Oh, Bai-something, you're back!" The Orchid Tongue Grass on her head shakes twice. "Look, here’s Little Bai, it's big and round, better than Little Lan."

"By the way, Old Bai, where have you been lately?" Big Bai is quite talkative. She couldn't speak under the cliff back then, but now that she sees an acquaintance, she definitely wants to have a good chat. In reality, she just wants to convey, "I can talk now." Of course, she has forgotten Bai Su's name, but since she's called Big Bai, the Orchid is Little Bai, let's just call him Old Bai. They share the same surname anyway.

The name spoken by the Word Spirt can actually accompany Bai Su throughout his life...

As soon as it speaks, the Bai family members collectively go wild again.

Is this the Word Spirit beast that seldom speaks, yet when it does, its words determine everything?

Will these words really appear on the Mirror Tablet? If it continues like this, will the Tablet become densely covered in a few days? But since it hasn't stirred up the spiritual energy of the world, it probably won't be recorded.

Bai Changge's mind is almost at the point of collapse. He clears his throat twice, signaling Bai Su to step forward and speak.

As a result, Bai Su directly enters the Obliteration Sword Tower. His name on the obelisk, so he is not restricted by the formation; entering it is a breeze.

"M’Lord." Bai Chengyu, no longer fanning, runs to Bai Su's side, exclaiming, "My Lord, you're alive! Are you healed? That's great; we were really worried about you."

Worried? It didn’t seem like it. Bai Su glances at the cultivators in the Obliteration Sword Tower, then slightly curls his lips.

However, he also knows that the cultivators of this sect are the most optimistic and open-minded group he has ever encountered. Even if life is difficult, they will live each day happily.

"Ah!" Su Tingyun exclaims, realizing, "It's Bai Su! No wonder he looked familiar just now."

She stands up, jog-walking to Bai Su with a smile on her face. Her gaze subconsciously glances at Bai Su's chest, where the feathered arrow pierced through his back and exited through the front chest. She wonders how well he has recovered by now.

"Are you feeling better?" At that time, she was genuinely worried, but seeing that his name on the stone hadn't gone gray, she breathed a sigh of relief. She knew Bai Su should have returned to the Upper Realm. She had thought of waiting until she could cross the lake and go to the Upper Realm to find him. Unexpectedly, he’s come back.

At this moment, Zhan Yu has already activated the formation to let Bai Su's relatives in. He greets them with a smile, ushering them into the Obliteration Sword Tower. Su Tingyun overhears Xiao Budian, Wuyou and Wulu murmuring, "Is he here to propose with his family? Will there be a lot of betrothal gifts..."

"Their family members all look so good." Wuyou and Wulu remark.

The Bai family members: "..."

They are here to compete for the position of the family head, not for a marriage proposal!

"They are?" Seeing a group of tall, handsome men with diverse styles approaching, Su Tingyun still feels a bit pressured.

"Ninth Elder, Third Uncle, my cousin, my younger cousin, my relatives, grandnephews..." A pile of relatives with a huge age difference and several generations of separation in seniority.
