Upon hearing Qi Ling's words, Bai He exclaimed in surprise, " Qi Ling, are you really that confident that the Breaking Clan will join you? Yang Wudi has always been incredibly stubborn!"
"Clan Chief Bai He, please rest assured, I have my own way of getting the Breaking Clan to join," Qi Ling said confidently. "Also, Clan Chief Bai He, please accept these Tianhua Currency for now. Whether you join or not, I intend to lend them to you."
Looking at the Tianhua Currency, Bai He felt a little embarrassed, but he also knew that this was indeed a last resort; otherwise, they wouldn't even know what to eat this month.
"In that case, I thank Alliance Leader Qi Ling very much!" Bai He said, "But we don't need that many, only a thousand..."
"Oh, Chief Bai He Crane, why are you being so polite? Just take it, don't act like an outsider!" Qi Ling immediately and enthusiastically stuffed a handful of Tianhua Currency into his hand, saying, "If it's not enough, just ask, let everyone have something good to eat! Our good days are just beginning!"
Looking at the Tianhua Currency in his hand, Bai He couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. This alliance leader really seemed to be rolling in money; it was the first time he'd ever seen someone so eager to give money to someone else!
With everything going smoothly, Niu Gao, as the host, naturally had to host a grand feast for the Speed Clan. After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they all went to their rooms to rest, while Bai He pulled Tang San aside, presumably to acknowledge their kinship.
That evening, Qi Ling was in her room discussing the matter of dealing with the Divine Court with Qian Renxue. After all, Qian Renxue was the commander of the Holy Temple Knight Order, and her understanding of the Divine Court was far superior to that of others. The more information they had about the enemy, the greater their chances of winning the war.
Just as the two were having a pleasant conversation, there was a sudden knock on the door. Qi Ling went to open the door and was surprised to see that it was Bai He, the patriarch of the Speed Clan, standing outside.
"Alliance Leader Qi Ling, I hope I haven't disturbed you?" Bai He glanced at Qian Renxue in Qi Ling's room and said with a smile.
Qi Ling wasn't embarrassed at all. He had already considered Qian Renxue as one of his own, so he didn't care what others thought. He said, "It's nothing, Chief Bai He. We just have something to discuss. What brings you here?"
"I shouldn't be bothering you at this time, but there are some things I must tell you now. Please come out with me, Alliance Leader Qi Ling," Bai He said.
Qi Ling and Bai He arrived at the door. Bai He said, " The Breaking Clan will definitely arrive tomorrow. Since you want to win them over, Qi Ling, I have some information to tell you about Yang Wudi, the patriarch of the Breaking Clan."
Qi Ling said, "Please speak, Chief Bai He."
Bai He slowly said, "Besides cultivation, Yang Wudi has only one hobby: alchemy! And the most direct way to get him to comply is to start with the medicine."
As he spoke, Bai He took out a box from his person and handed it to Qi Ling. It was a pure white jade box, crystal clear, carved from the finest mutton-fat jade.
Qi Ling looked at the item in her hand and felt a surge of warmth in her heart. This was Bai He's family heirloom, the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, the king of immortal herbs, its rarity comparable to the Aromatic Silk Beauty.
"Chief Bai He, what's going on...?" Qi Ling asked in confusion.
Bai He said, "I've thought a lot about this today. Alliance Leader Qi Ling extended a helping hand when we were in our most difficult time. We have no way to repay such a great kindness. Please accept this Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng as our token of gratitude."
"If you want to recruit Yang Wudi tomorrow, all you need to do is present this item, Alliance Leader. I guarantee that old fellow will obediently submit, and things will be much easier. Please, Alliance Leader, do not refuse."
"However, this thing is far too precious. Even those tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coin are far less valuable than it. Chief Bai He Crane, you really don't need to do this," Qi Ling said.
Bai He smiled and said, "Alliance Leader, I'm giving you this not just to express my gratitude, but more importantly, I'm betting the future of the Speed Clan on you!"
Qi Ling quickly said, "Clan Chief Bai He, rest assured, I will never let your hopes be dashed. The future of Dragon's Glory will far exceed everyone's imagination."
"In that case, you'd better make sure you get the Old Goat by tomorrow," Bai He laughed. "Besides alchemy, the Old Goat has another weakness. If he's really determined not to come with us, you can use that as a starting point, Alliance Leader."
"Oh? Clan Chief Yang Wudi has other weaknesses?" Qi Ling asked in surprise. This was truly something new.
"That's right, Alliance Leader Qi Ling, you may not know this, but Yang Wudi's son died at the hands of the Divine Court. However, he actually had a granddaughter! She is the only direct descendant of the Yang family and is deeply loved by Yang Wudi," Bai He said.
Qi Ling was truly shocked by Bai He's words. When did Yang Wudi have another granddaughter? This was so surreal!
"What's Yang Wudi's granddaughter's name?" Qi Ling asked curiously.
" Yang Wudi's granddaughter is named Yang Tiexin. She's about your age, maybe two years older," Bai He said. "That girl is exceptionally talented. Among the Four Single-Attribute Clans, she is the most outstanding. Her cultivation has already broken through to the Soul King realm."
" Soul King Realm?" Qi Ling raised an eyebrow slightly. To reach the Soul King Realm at this age without the help of others was enough to be called exceptionally talented!
After all, Ma Hongjun received so much help from Qi Ling and Tang San, yet he's only at the Soul King level. Compared to him, it's truly infuriating to see someone like him so weak and unambitious!
"But, Chief Bai He, even if you know Yang Wudi has a granddaughter, what can you do?" Qi Ling asked doubtfully.
Bai He then said with a smile, "That girl is only focused on cultivation, even more so than the Old Goat. She knows absolutely nothing about relationships between men and women, as innocent as a blank sheet of paper."
"The alliance leader is young and promising, and even more so, a handsome young man. If he can win the favor of that girl Tiexin, it can be said that he has already succeeded halfway!"
"Of course, Alliance Leader, please rest assured. That girl Tiexin is incredibly beautiful and attracts many admirers. However, Old Goat treats her like a treasure and doesn't allow anyone to get close to her. You can tell at a glance, Alliance Leader."
Qi Ling was speechless. These old men, not one of them was decent! They were practically trying to pimp her out. Did she really think she was that kind of person?
Ignoring Bai He's strange smile, Qi Ling quickly sent him away. It made no sense that in this day and age, an alliance leader would need to sell their body to win people over. "Selling art, not sex," hadn't you heard of that?
Besides, who knows if the old man is telling the truth or not? As for his beautiful face, we'd have to see for ourselves to know!
