Chapter 84

Several figures fell from the sky, and the sharp-tailed swallow martial souls behind them retracted.

"I've seen Grandfather Yang, Grandfather Niu!"

They recognized the Breaking One Clan rune on the carriage and appeared immediately.

Moreover, the ones driving the carriage were precisely Yang Wudi and Niu Gao.

"Xiangxiang, hello! Long time no see, you've become even more beautiful." Yang Wudi and Niu Gao praised the leading girl before them.

This person is the eldest daughter of the Agile One Clan, the beloved granddaughter of White Crane, and also their niece, Bai Chenxiang.

Bai Chenxiang was delighted by the praise, giggling: "You two grandfathers suddenly visited; you must be looking for my grandfather, right?"

"Yes, there is an important matter I need to discuss with your grandfather, concerning whether your Agile One Clan can become prosperous in the future." Yang Wudi nodded and said.

"Prosperous?" The crowd's eyes showed doubt and a hint of anticipation.

Under Bai Chenxiang's guidance, everyone smoothly entered the Agile One Clan manor.

"Young master, we have arrived." Yang Wudi and Niu Gao said to the inside of the carriage.

"Young master?" Bai Chenxiang looked puzzled, and everyone also turned their gaze to the carriage.

To be called "young master" by two Titled Douluo grandfathers, this person's background must certainly be not small.

Li Fei walked out from within.

That extraordinarily handsome, ethereal bearing, resembling a banished immortal's visage, his figure left the present members of the Min clan astonished.

So handsome!

So handsome!

Everyone's first impression was exactly that.

Bai Chenxiang's heart raced, her face flushed slightly, inexplicably a bit shy, she dared not meet Li Fei's gaze, and upon seeing her own family circumstances, she instantly showed an inferiority complex before Li Fei.

Such a talented person must be a powerful existence of the clan; compared to him, I am nothing but a country bumpkin.

Li Fei gave Bai Chenxiang a slight smile: "Hello, Miss Bai Chenxiang, I'm Li Fei; please guide me." He extended his hand for a handshake.

"You... hello." Bai Chenxiang stammered, shy, not daring to look, she extended her little hand and shook Li Fei's.

From start to finish, she never dared to meet Li Fei's gaze; his aura was simply too overwhelming.

Soon, everyone entered the reception hall; Bai Chenxiang hurriedly left to inform her grandfather, as she alone couldn't bear it—the pressure was too great.

"Haha, young master, your aura is still so strong; even Xiangxiang can't withstand it."

"Young master, you're too handsome; even Xiangxiang is shy."

Yang Wudi and Niu Gao had naturally noticed this already, but since Bai Chenxiang was just there, they didn't directly expose it, otherwise it would make Bai Chenxiang even more embarrassed, to the point of wanting to disappear.

"Ah, what a fine clan it is, a pity poverty blocks its progress; this clan chief is incompetent, letting the whole clan suffer." Li Fei took a sip of tea, seemingly offhandedly saying this.

"Old Baihe and the people of this clan are especially proud; if he could just set aside his pride a little, as a hallowed Soul Douluo, he wouldn't have to let the clan suffer so much." Yang Wudi sighed.

"Heh, letting the clan come to this, the younger generation is malnourished and feeble; once he's gone, the Min clan will quickly head toward destruction."

"What a foolish pride this is."

Li Fei looked down on this clan from the bottom of his heart.

But the other party's martial soul is a professional suited for intelligence work.

Until a perfectly suitable martial soul is found, for now we should still look at the Min clan.

If the Min clan truly refuses to join, then he'll have to resort to the second plan, which might be somewhat cruel and inhumane.

He has always been courteous before resorting to force.

"They two didn't even give me a heads-up before coming?"

"Opportunity for wealth?"

"Mysterious young man? Still called young master?"

"What's going on?"

In the study, an old man with a weathered face heard Bai Chenxiang's words and showed a look of astonishment. This person was the Min clan's clan chief, Baihe.

"I don't know either, grandfather, go take a look." Bai Chenxiang shook her head.

Setting down the book in his hands, Baihe led Bai Chenxiang toward the reception hall.

As soon as he entered, his gaze locked onto the two, and Baihe showed a look of surprise.

The two's aura had grown stronger, their soul power had improved, and most importantly, Yang Wudi and Niu Gao appeared younger, showing no signs of age, with vigorous vital energy—whether it was his old eyes failing, he couldn't tell.

Finally, his gaze settled on Li Fei, the white-clad handsome youth.

"What a handsome, graceful young master—even Old Yang and Old Niu call this kid young master; he must be extraordinary. Could it be that behind him lies the power of a family with a Titled Douluo? Have these two old fellows joined?" Baihe thought in astonishment.

Then, with a smile, he said: "You two fellows, showing up unannounced leaves me unprepared—really not kind."

"Alright, since you're not outsiders, I won't beat around the bush—I'll lay it out straight."

"Old Bai, this time your clan's chance for prosperity and rise has come!"

Yang Wudi and Niu Gao exchanged a glance, rose, and laughed.

Then they pulled Baihe aside and began to brainwash him.

Meanwhile, Li Fei quietly sipped his tea, awaiting the result.

Bai Chenxiang stood to the side with her fingers interlaced, like a little maid pouring tea, occasionally stealing glances at the handsome Li Fei with the corner of her eye.

The more she looked, the more she sank into infatuation.

At her age, it's just the time for youthful romance.

Seeing the person she likes, she naturally becomes shy.

The moment she saw Li Fei, she fell in love at first sight, her heart stirred.

But she also knew that her lowly status and lack of wealth made it utterly impossible to marry someone like him.

At this moment, she inexplicably felt a rising desire for wealth and strength.

On the other side, Bai He had already finished listening to Yang Wudi and Niu Gao's words, and also understood that their coming was to rope him in as well to serve that mysterious Li family.

Upon hearing that the benefits were actually so abundant, he was indeed tempted.

Over these years, he also realized that his clan's so-called pride was simply ridiculous, for pride had made the clan impoverished, cultivation resources could not keep up, and even originally talented juniors could only become ordinary soul masters.

Their branch lacked strong attack means, they could only engage in information-related work, and could not do anything else.

But because of pride, they did not become vassals to anyone, merely taking odd jobs as they felt like it, which led to their poverty.

They didn't know where their next meal would come from.

Actually, while reading books in the room, he also had the idea of wanting to change the current state of the Min clan, but he could find no way out.

He also did not want to trouble his three old brothers, after all they too had clan members to support.

Moreover, over these years, their clan's finances have survived only thanks to the support of those three old brothers.

"Let me think about it." Bai He put on a deep airs and did not directly agree.

Although he wanted his clan to live well, his long-standing pride could not be easily set aside.

Previously, affiliating with the Clear Sky Sect was because their strength was truly great, and at the same time his relationship with the Clear Sky Sect also involved blood ties of kinship.

But this Li family are neither relatives nor acquaintances, yet they are also a family, and he himself is a Soul Douluo, so he truly cannot easily bow his head.

"If you want me to join, that's fine; I excel in speed, as long as you beat me in speed, I'll join." Bai He said.

"Old Bai!"

Yang Wudi and Niu Gao were startled upon hearing that.

This isn't some alternative way of making things difficult; you just don't want to join, do you?

Anyone with clear eyes can see that.

Moreover, in their view, Li Fei could not possibly possess such formidable speed.
