Chapter 91: Gave Too Much
🕑 Added 2025-03-11 10:04:00 +0000 UTC“City Lord, to be honest, because of the betrayal of the Clear Sky Sect, my old buddies are not easy to talk to.” Niu Gao said with some embarrassment: “As for persuading them to join Baiyun City, I can only try my best. I can’t guarantee whether it will succeed.”
“No problem.”
Ye Cheng waved his hand and said calmly: “If it can succeed, it would be the best. If it can’t succeed, there is no need to force it.” Anyway, his main goal was the Yu clan, and the other three clans were at most just extras. It didn’t matter whether they were there or not.
“Okay, these two days happen to be the gathering of our four clans every two years. According to the time, they should arrive one after another within these two days. The city lord may as well wait in my house for two days and then discuss in detail after they arrive.” Niu Gao said.
Ye Cheng naturally agreed. It is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. It only takes two days, which saves him from running around.
The next day.
Ye Cheng had just woken up in the upper room and after washing up, he was informed by Niu Gao that a family had arrived.
The first to arrive was the Min clan, which specialized in speed among the four families.
With his status, it was impossible for him to go out to greet them like Niu Gao did, so he sat in the main seat in the reception hall, waiting for Niu Gao to bring people in.
Soon, Niu Gao led the people of the Min clan in. This time, there were more than a dozen people from the Min clan.
The leader was an old man, who was tall and thin, but looked very well-proportioned, with long white hair draped behind him. Judging from his appearance, he looked even older than Niu Gao. This man was the patriarch of the Min clan, Bai He.
Although the name of the clan leader contains the word “crane”, the martial spirit of the Min clan is not the crane, and the flying speed of the crane is not fast. The reason why they choose the all-agility route is also closely related to their own martial spirit. The martial spirit of the Min clan is a bird with the fastest flying speed, called the Sharp-tailed Swift. It is precisely because of this martial spirit that the Min clan has taken the pure agility cultivation route.
Next to Bai He, there was a girl who looked about the same age as Zhu Zhuqing. The girl was tall and well-proportioned, with a very beautiful face and lavender low ponytails. Although she looked a little thinner, her delicate features had not yet fully grown. It was conceivable that she would be a stunning beauty when she grew up.
Her eyes looked somewhat arrogant. She held Bai He’s arm and looked around with her beautiful eyes, as if she was very interested in everything around her.
Led by Niu Gao, as soon as these people entered the reception hall, they found that someone was already sitting in the main seat. Bai He frowned subconsciously, thinking that it was some young man who was sitting randomly. But when he saw who was sitting in the main seat, he swallowed the words he was about to question.
At this time, Ye Cheng did not change his appearance, but maintained his original appearance. Therefore, his highly recognizable face allowed people who saw him to recognize his identity at a glance.
“Ah! You, you are Ye Cheng!” The girl following Bai He looked at Ye Cheng sitting in the lobby and couldn’t help but exclaimed.
“Xiangxiang, don’t be rude!”
Bai He frowned and immediately scolded.
Then, she bowed to Ye Cheng apologetically and said, “I never thought that it was Your Majesty who was here in person. I, Bai He, am so polite. I hope Your Majesty will forgive my daughter’s impoliteness.”
Calling a Title Douluo by his name in front of him. This matter can be big or small, some people don’t care about it. Some people will feel offended, so Bai He knows that no matter what, it is right to admit the mistake first. Show your attitude so that no one can find fault with it.
“No problem.”
Ye Cheng, who was sitting in the main seat, naturally didn’t care about it. Isn’t the name given to people to call? There is nothing rude about it.
Seeing that he was not angry about this, Bai He felt relieved. Fortunately, the man in front of him was not the kind of overbearing and unreasonable strong man, otherwise his granddaughter would be in trouble today.
“Hahaha, old white bird, why are you so tense?” Niu Gao noticed that the atmosphere was a little tense, so he stepped forward to smooth things over, “Come on, everyone, take a seat first, and then I’ll introduce you to each other.”
Although Bai He still had doubts in his heart, he sat down at his invitation.
“City Lord, this is the patriarch of the Min clan, my life and death brother Bai He!” Niu Gao first introduced Bai He to Ye Cheng who was sitting in the main seat.
“Old White Bird, I’m sure you know this person’s identity, so I won’t say much.” Niu Gao turned to Bai He and said, “What I want to tell you is that I have now led the entire Yu clan to join the city lord’s army.”
“What?!”
Even though he had vaguely expected it when he saw Ye Cheng sitting in the main seat, Bai He still couldn’t help being shocked when he actually heard Niu Gao say in person that the Yu clan had already surrendered to Ye Cheng.
“Old Rhino, you actually…” Since Ye Cheng was present, he didn’t say the rest of the words.
But Niu Gao had known Bai He for many years, so he naturally knew what Bai He wanted to say. So he sighed and said, “Old Bai Bird, I made this decision after careful consideration (the most important thing is that the city lord gave too much).” He did not say the words in brackets.
“You are also aware of how our four clans have been doing over the years. To put it bluntly, under the suppression of the Spirit Hall, we are all just barely surviving.” Niu Gao’s face was heavy and his tone was dull.
Bai He’s expression was also extremely embarrassed, because he knew that what Niu Gao said was right. The Min clan was the worst off, and they had to rely on the other three clans for help to barely survive.
“Old White Bird, what do you think will happen to our four clans if we continue like this?” Niu Gao asked a very practical question.
Bai He did not reply, but he knew it well. If nothing unexpected happened, the four clans, especially the Min clan, would become weaker and weaker in the future, with fewer and fewer people. Until they were completely extinct!
This was not an exaggeration, because the Spirit Hall had been suppressing them openly and covertly for many years. Otherwise, as spirit masters, no matter how miserable they were, they would not have ended up like this. With all their strength, is it difficult to make money?
“We are weak and need a backer!”
Niu Gao said directly: “So I joined the city lord!”
Bai He was speechless, and even felt a little envious in his heart. He envied Niu Gao for finding such a powerful backer!
If their Min clan could also join this man’s army… I believe all the current difficulties could be solved.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Niu Gao continued, “Of course, our four clans are of the same blood, and brothers will naturally not forget you. In addition, the city lord is in need of people at the moment, so I recommended you to the city lord. Old Bai Bird, you have to thank me very much.”
What?!
When Bai He heard that there was such a good thing, he instantly lost his composure.
