Chapter 1713: Bai Qing Shuang: Bai Meng, Elder has agreed

At the mountain's base.

The two who had left Longshe Shan couldn't help but look back, and Holy Maiden Bai Meng asked, "Elder, is this really alright? Will Master blame us?"

This mission, Elder completed it excellently—no, actually exceeded expectations, completely surpassing Holy Maiden Bai Meng's expectations; she thought Elder would relent, but Elder was even more enthusiastic and supportive of this marriage alliance than she was.

Thus, Master was left on the mountain and could never descend, becoming entirely Chen Chuyang's woman; from now on Master's status would change—no longer clan chief of the Luotian White Snake Clan, but one of Longshe Shan's mistresses and one of Chen Chuyang's wives.

And she, Holy Maiden Bai Meng, automatically advanced to clan chief, yet she felt no joy or excitement from the promotion, only worry for Master—would Master, left alone on the mountain, be bullied? Be punished?

Can Master alone handle Chen Chuyang? The Luotian White Snake Clan is somewhat special, but Chen Chuyang looks strong—nothing like a weakling; from the reactions of Elder Xinran and True Person Tianlian, we see Chen Chuyang can conquer two women, so naturally he can conquer Master.

Master might suffer; in the days ahead, she need not guess to know Master will meet a terrible fate, surely to be subdued completely.

"No, she will even thank us, Bai Meng—you also know my earlier calculations; I can confirm your Master's noble person is Chen Chuyang, impossible to be wrong. Initially I was mistaken, thinking it was Qinglong Daoist, believing he wasn't Xinlan's noble person."

"Only after seeing Chen Chuyang today can I be absolutely certain: this person is your Master's noble person, definitely no mistake."

"Chen Chuyang is outstanding; with Xinlan following him, her future achievements will not be lacking—whether our Luotian White Snake Clan can rise with him, surpassing the past, hinges on this."

"Bai Meng, if you also wish to marry into Longshe Shan, Elder, I permit it."

Bai Qing Shuang stared excitedly at Holy Maiden Bai Meng; this Holy Maiden and Bai Xinlan are alike—their noble persons are on Longshe Shan, their destiny the same; future Bai Meng and Bai Xinlan will soar, only lacking that noble person—now Bai Qing Shuang has found it, certain it's Chen Chuyang, no mistake.

She wished Holy Maiden Bai Meng would also marry over, to serve Chen Chuyang together with Bai Xinlan; the two joining hands, she assured, could certainly capture Chen Chuyang, keeping his body and heart with their master-disciple pair, not taken by other women.

Bai Xinlan alone could not bind Chen Chuyang's heart; she knows Bai Xinlan well—once encountering a Strong One, she quickly becomes a simpering woman; in this regard she falls short of Holy Maiden Bai Meng, who is calm and knows how to assess the situation; with her, the future of the Luotian White Snake Clan will not be lacking.

"Elder, you agreed?" Holy Maiden Bai Meng looked at Bai Qing Shuang in some surprise—wasn't it previously disagreed?

Why the sudden change of mind, and moreover so agitated, almost wanting to send her to Longshe Shan immediately—this shift is too fast.

Holy Maiden Bai Meng found it hard to adapt, looking doubtfully at Elder Bai Qing Shuang, fearing the elder would lie.

"Elder, this cannot be spoken nonsense; the Luotian White Snake Clan still needs me—Master has married over, but disciples cannot marry over, otherwise who will lead the clan in the future?"

"'Don't worry about this; at worst I, Elder, will toil a few years to manage the Luotian White Snake Clan in your stead.' Bai Qing Shuang had thought it through—she would endure a little hardship for the clan's future, for theirs, what's a bit of toil?"

"'When you have children, later let your offspring return as clan chief; you, stay peacefully on Longshe Shan—I will handle everything in the clan.'"

Holy Maiden Bai Meng looked doubtfully at Elder Bai Qing Shuang; it was clear she wasn't joking, her words were sincere.

"'Elder, let's discuss this later.' Holy Maiden Bai Meng felt moved, but she knew such matters require careful planning, not rash impulse."

Go at once and tell Chen Chuyang you also wish to marry him—wouldn't Holy Maiden Bai Meng be too cheap then?

A woman should maintain some reserve, not be too cheap; the Luotian White Snake Clan is not unwanted—many demonic beasts favor Holy Maiden Bai Meng, yet she hasn't taken a liking to any.

"'Bai Meng, when you return think it over—Chen Chuyang is no ordinary person; I see he's not old, rather quite young, not over a hundred years old; consider that, under a hundred, to have such cultivation—his future will be terrifying.'"

"'Cangzhou cannot hold him; in the future he will surely head for the Central Lands.'"

"'If you follow him, in the future, following him to leave Cangzhou for the Central Lands, could our Luotian White Snake Clan also go along to the Central Lands—that is our clan's dream.'"

"'Since the Luotian White Snake Clan has been stationed in Cangzhou's Mangshan Mountain Range, we have always had one dream: to set foot in the Central Lands.'"

"'For countless years, for this dream, the ancestors of the Luotian White Snake Clan have given how much, sacrificed how many, yet the result remains—still stuck in place, unable to leave Cangzhou; now there is an opportunity, fleeting, if seized, the Luotian White Snake Clan will soar.'"

"'Bai Meng, Elder does this for your own good—on this matter Elder hasn't even told your Master.'"

"'When you return, think it over—this affair is better sooner than later.'"

Elder Bai Qing Shuang took Holy Maiden Bai Meng's hand, speaking earnestly, hoping she would think it well—for herself, for the clan, for their dream, to weigh pros and cons.

She also feels fondness for Chen Chuyang; Bai Qing Shuang knows this girl very much wants to marry into Longshe Shan—if she doesn't help a bit, she can't justify it.

"'Elder, I will think it well.' Holy Maiden Bai Meng naturally had this idea; upon seeing Chen Chuyang in person, she knew it was him, this man."

The one she chatted with before was him, not Qinglong Daoist.

Different, that feeling was quite unlike before—Holy Maiden Bai Meng always felt something off, but couldn't pinpoint it; upon seeing Chen Chuyang, she knew where that feeling came from.

Looking back at Longshe Shan, Holy Maiden Bai Meng silently thought: 'Master, please take good care of yourself.'

"'Chen Chuyang, Longshe Shan—the person I've been trading with all along is him, not Qinglong True Person.'"

"'I'm not mistaken—it's him, that gaze, exactly his gaze.'"

That gaze is very familiar, yet quite different.

She inwardly confirmed one matter: the relationship between Qinglong Daoist and Chen Chuyang is not ordinary; very likely they are the same person.

When this idea came up, Bai Meng Holy Maiden first denied it, but she could not dispel this idea no matter what; instead, it grew stronger, her intuition told her that her idea was right.
