Chapter 1526: Bai Qing Shuang speaks of the marriage alliance, Bai Xinlan's heart is in turmoil

"This bastard's wishful thinking is beautiful, even wanting our master-disciple pair, he's too greedy." Bai Xinlan said angrily.

It's obvious she was provoked, her heart full of anger; if Qinglong Daoren were present, she wouldn't mind striking to cripple her, that insatiable wretch—one Bai Meng isn't enough, he also wants to add her, how unreasonable; thinking this, Bai Xinlan became very angry.

Bai Qing Shuang stood aside, watching Bai Xinlan vent, saying nothing and not stopping her, just quietly watching; after Bai Xinlan finished venting, Bai Qing Shuang then began to speak.

"Still considering the marriage alliance?"

Bai Xinlan took a deep breath, bitterly saying: "I naturally want the marriage alliance, but the problem is he wants me to enter the alliance, I also want it, Bai Meng also wants it, what should I do, Patriarch?"

"This matter can't be done; she doesn't want to become the marriage alliance's partner, nor does she want to marry Qinglong Daoren together with Bai Meng; this matter is absolutely impossible, no one can make it work, even if the Patriarch personally comes to persuade, she would not…… agree."

"Patriarch, no need to persuade me, I could never agree to him; this person is just too greedy, wanting everything, pushing forward, if we don't give him a little color to see, he won't know life or death."

"Our Luotian White Snake Clan doesn't absolutely need him; does he really think he's that important? Hmph."

Bai Xinlan was truly angry, unable to help stamping her foot, causing the whole ground to tremble; Bai Qing Shuang stood with arms crossed, looking at her, saying: "Your anger shouldn't be about this, right? Is it that he took a liking to you and also wants Bai Meng?"

"Both of them together took a liking, not just one person; if only Bai Xinlan were taken a liking to, she would be very pleased, after all her charm is still strong, something many men cannot refuse; Qinglong Daoren taking a liking to her shows his good eye."

"She had long harbored such thoughts, but Qinglong Daoren is very greedy, wanting everything, which provoked her anger."

Bai Xinlan nodded, saying: "For the clan, I can enter the marriage alliance, but wanting me and Bai Meng together is impossible, absolutely impossible."

Bai Qing Shuang knew this, this disciple's thoughts, she was very clear about them.

"Then what if you were to go into the marriage alliance? Would you be willing?" Bai Qing Shuang tilted her head, asking Bai Xinlan.

Her eyes were very calm, without ripples; she stared straight at the woman before her—her disciple, whom she had raised single-handedly, also a disciple she had nurtured, equivalent to her daughter; the daughter had grown up and should marry, finding a good home is still a good choice.

Bai Qing Shuang didn't want her to be too tired; actually, at first, Bai Qing Shuang wanted the marriage alliance's object to be Bai Xinlan, not Bai Meng; this daughter is outstanding, if she obtained abundant medicinal resources for cultivation, she would quickly complete her transformation, completing nine transformations, advancing to become the strongest bloodline of the Luotian White Snake Clan.

Rather than staying here, constantly toiling for the Luotian White Snake Clan, wasting her talent in vain.

She had calculated that place is where the fated opportunity of both Bai Xinlan and Bai Meng lies, not just one person's.

"Me?" Bai Xinlan pointed at herself, looking bewildered at Patriarch Bai Qing Shuang, somewhat puzzled.

Bai Qing Shuang nodded, saying: "Not bad, it's you; actually, from the start my choice in mind was you, not Bai Meng; I also calculated for you, your future lies on Longshe Shan, closely related to that person."

"Your nine-layer white dragon transformation also resides on him; following him, it's possible to swiftly complete the nine transformations, then advance to become the strongest bloodline of our Luotian White Snake Clan; at that time, you will become the mightiest existence of the Luotian White Snake Clan, surpassing any of our Patriarchs."

"Xinlan, I'm saying this—are you willing to enter the marriage alliance?"

"All this is for her good; as for Bai Meng, she can stay behind, and naturally can also marry over."

"Entering a marriage alliance naturally means giving full sincerity, and it's also to let that person nurture Bai Xinlan and Bai Meng; her calculations won't be wrong, having seen a hint of fate and sensed the future, which is what she had previously deduced, exhausting all calculations."

"I originally thought she would perish here; before her demise, seeking a new path for the Luotian White Snake Clan, I didn't expect she would survive and even break through."

"She didn't conceal this matter, told Bai Xinlan, and waited for her response."

Bai Xinlan froze, staring fixedly at Patriarch Bai Qing Shuang for a long time, then asked: "Patriarch, are you certain?"

"There will be no mistake; that is my first ever such straightforward perception, the first time I so clearly sensed the guidance of fate; Xinlan, you know the Patriarch would never joke about your future; this matter, I, the Patriarch, have told only you."

"Otherwise, you might think why I want the marriage alliance—it's not because I fear Diewumeng, nor because of external pressure; those are secondary conditions, the true core reason is that side hides secrets, hides opportunity; I want you to give it a try, even if mistaken, it doesn't matter."

"If it succeeds, it brings infinite benefits to you, to Bai Meng, and to the Luotian White Snake Clan; as for whether to agree or not, that lies with you."

"She does not force this disciple, but asks for Bai Xinlan's opinion."

"Whether willing or not is up to them; if willing, then go ahead and handle this matter; if not, then treat it as if it never happened."

Bai Qing Shuang waited for this disciple's answer—whether she would agree or refuse.

Bai Xinlan stood stunned in place, long without regaining composure, or rather, she couldn't imagine the Patriarch had calculated this, not to win over Qinglong Daoren, not for the secret of Longshe Shan, nor for those medicinal pills, but…… for their future.

"The Patriarch's ability, she still knows; it is the Patriarch's talent, also a special secret art the Patriarch cultivated, called Luotian Calculation, which can predict a bit of the future and also find that hint of vitality; precisely because of this, the Patriarch can lead the Luotian White Snake Clan to survive."

"Being able to survive to today, one could say the Luotian White Snake Clan's present existence is thanks to the Patriarch."

"Patriarch, is this matter true?"

"She still felt a bit worried; once this matter goes wrong, there's no turning back."

"She also lacked confidence she could bewilder Qinglong Daoren, making him heed her words and thus turn toward the Luotian White Snake Clan."

"Elder Xinran and True Person Tianlian are both excellent, also quite good, yet unable to let that person completely change; my own words also lack certainty."

"What do you say?" Patriarch Bai Qing Shuang gave a speechless smile, saying: "For the purpose of calculation, that time I almost died."

"If not for a lucky breakthrough, if not for you bringing the Luotian Pill and the Snake King Pill, I might have died long ago."

"She felt she was about to die, had given up hope; unexpectedly, a turn of fate, a sliver of vitality she found, thus she took that step."

"And this matter should also be told to this disciple, letting her decide for herself."

Bai Xinlan fell silent.
