Nimbus City Bai family.

The Young Bai Clan Leader returned in disappointment with the Bai family's Senior Elder.

“D*mn it, a Shang main clan elder came out of nowhere!”

The Young Bai Clan Leader sneered.

The Bai family's strength was no less than the Shang clan, but the only shame was that this Bai family in Nimbus City was just another branch clan too.

In the face of an elder from the Shang main clan, they could only temporarily evade the impending trouble.

“Feng'er, you're back.”

When the Bai Family Head saw Bai Feng returning, he went up to welcome him but soon after that he frowned. “What's the matter? Why isn't Shang Qingxue back with you?”

“Forget it, their main clan elder came.”

Bai Feng narrated the entire incident.

The Bai Family Head was somewhat surprised after hearing it. After a moment's pondering, he said in a deep voice, “Let's rest this case for now. Let me introduce you to an important person. This person hails from the main clan. I hope that you'd show some courtesy upon meeting him later.”

“Oh, someone from the main clan?”

“Young Emperor, Bai Xueyun!”

Bai Feng's expression changed when he heard that. “It's the Young Emperor! Why is he here at Nimbus City all of a sudden?”

“Haha, don't you think this is great news? All these years, your father, I, have contributed so much to the Bai family. Now, the main clan has decided to reward me and asked the Young Emperor to bring forth a supreme weapon for me.”

“Is that so? That's marvelous.”

Bai Feng was delighted.

He then walked into the great hall and saw that there was a young man dressed in black sitting there. This young man's face was pale, and he had a feminine look on him.

Meanwhile, behind him were two other beautiful maids.

This person was indeed the Bai family's Young Emperor, Bai Xueyun!

“Greetings, Young Emperor.”

Bai Feng bowed at Bai Xueyun.

“Alright, no need for over-courtesy. Bai Lin has mentioned you before. You have quite the talent. If you continue to work hard, I'm sure you'd have the chance to get into the main clan.”

The Bai Lin that he mentioned was, of course, the Nimbus City Bai Family Head.

Upon hearing such praise, Bai Feng was on cloud nine. If he ever got into the main clan, it would be an incredible achievement for him.

At the thought of that possibility, a fiery pa.s.sion suddenly ignited deep inside him. It solidified his desire to be in Bai Xueyun's good books.

He stole a glance at the maids behind his compatriot, and suddenly remembered the gossips that were spread in their clan about Bai Xueyun.

It was said that although this Young Emperor had an exquisite talent, he was often found to indulge in l.u.s.ts. Wherever he went, he would bring along a girl or two.

This made him inadvertently think of Shang Qingxue. He laughed to himself and said, “I heard that Young Emperor you have a unique taste in beauties. These two maids do have extraordinary good looks. I reckon of all Nimbus City, only Shang Qingxue from the Shang clan would be able to upend such beauty.”

“Shang Qingxue?” The Bai family's Young Emperor's eyes suddenly lit up.

“Indeed. This person that I speak of is deemed the number one beauty in Nimbus City. From that alone, you can tell that her looks would be something out of the ordinary.”

Bai Feng chuckled.

“If that's the case, why don't you bring her over so I can bed her?”

Bai Xueyun said nonchalantly.

Upon hearing that, the corner of Bai Feng's lips twitched uncontrollably.

Well was he supposed to say? Way to go, Young Emperor?

With such arrogance and rude demeanor, what made him think that if he wanted to bed her, she would surely agree?

“Young Emperor, this Shang Qingxue is quite an obstinate character. I'm afraid it's not that easy to get her to do as you want. Besides, a main clan elder arrived at the Shang clan today. If he catches knowledge of such a proposal, I doubt that he would agree to it.”

“Heh, it's merely a Shang main clan elder. The Shang clan are already finding it difficult to survive now, what else can this elder do to me? I, Bai Xueyun, have never failed when it comes to a woman that I desire.”

“Fifth Forefather, I guess I'll have to trouble you for this then.”

Bai Xueyun remarked calmly.

Out walked an elderly person from the void. This person was one of the forefathers of the Bai family, the current Protector of the Bai family's Young Emperor — the Fifth Bai Forefather.

It was not the first time that the Fifth Bai Forefather had heard of Bai Xueyun desiring a woman, so he nodded and agreed to it almost immediately.

“Why don't you show the Fifth Bai Forefather the way. I want this Shang Qingxue in my bed tonight,” Bai Xueyun smacked his lips and said.

“Yes.”

Bai Feng nodded, feeling slightly gutted.

Shang Qingue was also a woman that he wanted. However, for the purpose of building good relations with Bai Xueyun, he could do nothing but to endure this pain.

Nimbus City Shang clan.

Chu Kuangren laid in his room, seemingly deep in thought.

“The White-Robed General requested me to look after his descendants, but what would be considered as looking after? Hmm… That Shang Qingxue has the Deep Freeze Physique in her but it hasn't been activated. What if I help activate it? It would count as looking after I think?”

Chu Kuangren thought to himself.

A golden pill appeared in his palm.

This was a pill called the Enlightenment Pill. It could plunge someone's cultivation into the Enlightenment Stage, and at the same time, awaken some Daoist Physiques too

It was a Gold-grade item.

However, this pill was almost useless to him. Since it had always been kept inside his inventory, he felt that it would be appropriate to give it to Shang Qingue.

“Lan Yu, help me call Shang Qingxue over.”

Chu Kuangren said.

Lan Yu was stunned when she heard that, but she nodded almost right away.

She found her way to the great hall, where Shang Long and his people were still gathered. She looked into the eyes of Shang Qingxue and said, “My Master is looking for you. Come, follow me.”

Upon hearing what she said, the few elders were first astonished, but then they glanced at each other and noticed the gleam of joy in their respective eyes.

Did Chu Kuangren have an interest in Shang Qingxue?!

If that was true, it would be incredible news. Just earlier, they were cracking their heads as to how to gain Chu Kuangren's favor.

“Dear Qingxue, Sect Leader Chu wants to see you. You should go.”

“Remember to behave well.”

“That's right.”

Shang Long's face turned pale as he quickly added, “Pardon me but why is Sect Leader Chu looking for my little daughter?”

“No idea, but all I know is that I have to bring her to my Master. Just follow me there.”

“But…”

Shang Long seemed like he wanted to add more.

Yet before he could, Shang Qingxue beside him swiftly agreed, “Sure, let's go.”

“Qingxue.”

“Father, don't you worry. I believe Sect Leader Chu won't do anything to me,” Shang Qingxue replied with a gentle smile.

She had another statement to add on, which was that even if Chu Kuangren wanted to do something to her, what could the Shang clan do?!

Since they could not resist it, it was better that she just obliged.

“Hehe, I feel you should be delighted instead. Don't you know what kind of character Chu Kuangren is? If your daughter ever catches his eye, it should be the good karma that you've acc.u.mulated from your past eight lives,” the main clan elder said admirably at one side.

Shang Long and Lou Yun exchanged glances, both feeling helpless.

They were just too frail.

In face of such a strong presence, they were not in the position to say no.

On their way to meet Chu Kuangren, Lan Yu swept a glance at Shang Qingxue and noticed that she looked very nervous, so she a.s.sured, “Don't worry, Master doesn't have that kind of interest that all of you are thinking of.”

She knew Chu Kuangren very well.

In fact, it could be said that besides Chu Kuangren himself, she should be the next person who understood him most.

If Chu Kuangren was the kind of person who indulged in l.u.s.ts, something would have already happened between him and her all these years.

“Instead of worrying about my Master, I think I should be advising you to not have any sort of wishful thinking towards him.” Lan Yu then added another sentence.

Shang Qingxue was quite embarra.s.sed at that. For a beauty like her, it was generally others who would have wishful thinking towards her.

However, when she imagined Chu Kuangren's otherworldly and fairy-like good looks, demeanor, and influence, she found it difficult to rebut what Lan Yu had said.

For a person like Chu Kuangren, even she would be underqualified to be with him.

Soon.

She arrived at Chu Kuangren's room. Watching this charming figure in front of her, Shang Qingxue started to feel a sense of shame and said, “Sect Leader Chu, I wonder why you're looking for me?”

Chu Kuangren took out the Enlightenment Pill. “Take this pill.”
