After lunch, the group chatted casually again. Tai Tan casually asked, "Hey, when are those guys from the Speed Clan arriving? Isn't Old White Bird always the most punctual? Why have they kept us waiting so long this time?"
Niu Gao laughed and said, " Old White Bird is always punctual; you just arrived too early! Who knew what was wrong with you this year, arriving a full three days earlier than usual!"
Tai Tan smiled helplessly. It was all thanks to Qi Ling's Soul Beast horses that they were three days ahead of schedule.
"Since we're on the topic of the Old White Bird, the Old Gorilla, and the alliance leader and young master, let's be frank," Niu Gao said bluntly. "Your visit this time wasn't just to win over our Defense Clan, was it?"
Qi Ling smiled and said, "Elder Niu is indeed clever. That's right. We're not here just for the Defense Clan. We don't intend to let any of the Four Single-Attribute Clans go."
"Hahaha, good heavens, they're trying to wipe us all out!" Niu Gao laughed. "That's not bad either, it'll be perfect to bring Old White Bird in too, so we can all share the good fortune!"
"Just what I was thinking, Old White Bird is about to go under too. With his personality, he'd rather starve than bow down to anyone. But with the Alliance Leader's help, he shouldn't starve."
Qi Ling immediately replied, "Of course, Elder Niu, please rest assured that Dragon's Glory will provide everyone with ample assistance until things settle down. After all, Dragon's Glory's future depends heavily on everyone."
Tai Tan laughed, "Hehehe, since that's the case, we can consider how to scheme against him! Making that old guy furious is my favorite thing to do!"
"Great minds think alike! Old Gorilla, what do you think of this...?"
Seeing the two wicked old men plotting, everyone around felt helpless. Tai Long was even more astonished. He had never seen his dignified grandfather scheme against others like a child.
After everyone had discussed it, it wasn't until the evening of the third day that the Speed Clan finally arrived. More than ten members of the Speed Clan arrived at the gate of the Defense Clan, looking travel-worn. Everyone went out to greet them.
Bai He, the patriarch of the Speed Clan, is an 82-level Agility Attack System Soul Douluo. His Martial Soul is the Sharp-Tailed Swift, which the Speed Clan is proud of. His speed is unmatched among all Soul Master.
Beside the Bai He was a girl who looked about the same age as Qi Ling and the others. She was very clever and had bright, lively eyes.
Upon seeing this beautiful young woman, Ma Hongjun's eyes widened instantly, his mouth agape, practically drooling.
Oscar, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand it anymore and quickly punched him, saying, "Fatty, are you serious? It's only been a few days since you've been with a woman, and you're already craving her!"
"No, don't talk nonsense, Xiao Ao, this time is different!" Ma Hongjun hurriedly said, "Do you believe in love at first sight? This time, I really felt it!"
Oscar naturally didn't believe Ma Hongjun's explanation, thinking it was just an excuse he used to seduce the young girl, and he mocked him.
" Xiao Ao, don't be so skeptical. Fatty is a Phoenix after all; he's a good match for a little bird," Qi Ling said. "Fatty, maybe this is your destiny!"
"Really? Haha, Boss Qi, then I'll take your good wishes!" Ma Hongjun said happily, almost jumping for joy.
The girl over there, naturally Bai He's granddaughter, Bai Chenxiang, watched as several boys gathered together, seemingly discussing her. She couldn't help but purse her lips and say, "Hmph! Childish!"
In her opinion, Qi Ling, who was with Ma Hongjun and Oscar, looked like a playboy who didn't do anything productive. No wonder he had such a handsome face; he must be using it to deceive girls!
As for Ma Hongjun and Oscar, they were Qi Ling's subordinates who helped him commit evil deeds and forcibly abduct women! In contrast, Tang San, who remained quiet and didn't say a word, actually won Bai Chenxiang's favor even more.
As the three elders entered the hall, the same scene as before was staged again. With Niu Gao's addition, Tai Tan's acting skills improved dramatically. Qi Ling felt that he could beat the Oscar into little golden statuettes and give them to the two elders.
After a few moments of feigned sympathy, Bai He understood what the two meant. They had now joined an organization called Dragon's Glory and belonged to one of its branches, the Tang Sect! They would even be setting off for Heaven Dou City soon.
After Bai He expressed his understanding, Niu Gao and Tai Tan cleverly lured out Tang San's Hidden Weapon, which made Bai He's heart flutter.
"How much are these Zhuge Repeating Crossbow? I need two hundred," Bai He said to Tang San.
Tang San smiled slightly and said, "Senior Bai He, since you and Clan Chief Niu Gao are friends, I'll give you a friendly price for this: one Gold Soul Coin!"
The value of Gold Soul Coin today is only about one-tenth of what it used to be. In other words, one Gold Soul Coin today are roughly equivalent to one hundred Gold Soul Coin in the past.
Upon hearing Tang San's offer, Bai He said with a sigh of relief, "Alright, I'll buy it!" As he spoke, he reached into his Soul Tool and pulled out a Tianhua Currency with a face value of one thousand.
Upon seeing this Tianhua Currency, everyone couldn't help but think of Qi Ling's identity and turned to look at him.
Seeing the crowd's expressions, Bai He assumed they didn't believe him and said, "This Tianhua Currency was personally obtained by me from Tianhua Bank; it can't be fake."
Qi Ling stepped forward, glanced at the Tianhua Currency in Bai He's hand, and smiled, "Senior Bai He, although it's regrettable, I still have to tell you a cruel fact—this Tianhua Currency of yours is fake!"
"What?!" Bai He exclaimed in surprise, "This is impossible! How could this be fake!"
Bai Chenxiang, who was standing nearby, then said, "Hey, look closely. This Tianhua Currency has always been kept by my grandfather. How could it be fake? What makes you think it's fake?"
"I don't know why this Tianhua Currency is fake, but I can tell you for sure that it's fake," Qi Ling said. "If you don't believe me, take a look."
As Qi Ling spoke, she took out a stack of Tianhua Currency from her Infinite Space. The denominations varied, ranging from one hundred to ten thousand, and there were at least ten of each kind.
The pile of Tianhua Currency coins spread out on the table, amounting to at least tens of thousands, made Bai He and Bai Chenxiang's eyes widen in astonishment. They probably had never seen so much money in their lives.
Qi Ling seemed unaffected by this, casually taking a bowl of wine from the side and pouring it all over the Tianhua Currency.
"Ah! What are you doing!" Seeing Qi Ling pour wine onto so many Tianhua Currency, Bai Chenxiang couldn't help but cry out in distress. Each of these coins was enough to support their entire clan for a long time!
