Douluo: Reviving the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan

Chapter 148 The Sensitive Clan

Feiyu City!
Since the Min clan's Bai family was abandoned by the Haotian Sect, Bai He brought the entire clan back to their ancestral home, Feiyu City.

This place is located in the central part of the Xingluo Empire, not too far from Cangyun City where the Yang family is located, about a thousand miles away. For the members of the Min clan, it is only about two hours' journey.

Because this place is located in the central part of the Xing Luo Empire and with the help of the Yang family, although the Bai family lives a hard life, it is relatively safe and is no longer bullied by the Spirit Hall.

However, the people of the Bai family have a flaw that attracts criticism, and that is that they are self-righteous!

He considers himself to be of noble status and looks down on the livelihood of ordinary soul masters, otherwise he would not be so poor. As a result, the Bai family is usually deserted and almost no guests come to visit.

But today, they are going to welcome a distinguished guest, Yu Tianyun!
After Yu Tianyun recovered his strength in the morning, he rushed all the way here. With his amazing speed, if he hadn't encountered thunderclouds on the way, he would have arrived yesterday.

It was noon now. Yu Tianyun did not rush to the Bai family. Instead, he tasted the local specialties in the most famous restaurant. After the meal, he walked leisurely towards the Bai family.

He thought that he would not be able to eat anything good at the Bai family, so this would avoid being disliked.

Arriving at the door of the Bai family, Yu Tianyun stopped to observe and muttered to himself:
"They don't look very poor. Could the intelligence be wrong? However, the two Min clan members guarding the gate do look a bit pale and thin."

The door of the Bai family looked no worse than that of the Yang family that Yu Tianyun had visited before. Both had the grandeur of a wealthy family. A huge plaque was hung on the tall gate tower, with only one vigorous and powerful word "Min" written on it. The overall layout and specifications were exactly the same as those of the Yang family.

"Could it be that the Yu clan built all of them? Yes, we are old brothers for many years. Niu Gao probably can't bring himself to ask Bai He for money. Even if he wants, he probably won't be able to pay."

"Who are you? What are you doing here? Get away!"

A girl's voice as clear as the song of an oriole sounded behind Yu Tianyun.

Yu Tianyun frowned slightly and turned around. He had already noticed someone approaching from behind, but the person was very weak, only at the level of a great soul master, so he didn't pay much attention.

He saw a girl of about eleven or twelve years old, tall and well-proportioned, with a very beautiful appearance. Although she was a little thin, her appearance was only half a point inferior to that of the wives in his family. Her eyes looked a little arrogant, but when she saw Yu Tianyun's face after turning around, her expression obviously changed.

"I am here to visit the owner of this house. What can I do for you?"

Yu Tianyun's tone was quite cold, and he had no feelings for the girl in front of him. He was not the type to just go after anyone he saw. Besides, the girl in front of him was not his type. He liked plump girls that were hard to hold in one hand. The girl in front of him was not even as good as his Rongrong and Lingling, so naturally he had no interest in her.

After hearing Yu Tianyun's cold words, the girl couldn't help but show a trace of anger on her face, and said:

"Humph, this is my home! Do you have a visiting card? If not, don't even think about coming in."

Yu Tianyun raised his eyebrows slightly, not caring about the impoliteness in the girl's words, and said slowly:
"I don't have a visiting card, but you can go and inform them that Yu Tianyun is visiting, and your family master will know."

The girl looked at him suspiciously and said:

"Just wait, I'll report it. If you lie to me, you'll be in trouble."

After saying that, he turned around and walked quickly into the mansion.

Yu Tianyun didn't care. He guessed that the girl was probably Bai He's granddaughter, Bai Chenxiang. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
"Without the influence of Rongrong's family and suffering from princess syndrome, she will inevitably get into trouble in the future. Most children raised by their grandparents will be spoiled."

Not long after, the girl hurried back. The arrogance on her face was gone, replaced by a bit of awe. She said:

"My grandfather wants to see you. Please follow me."

"Ok!"

Yu Tianyun nodded slightly and followed Bai Chenxiang into the Bai family.

Along the way, Bai Chenxiang secretly looked at him from time to time.

But Yu Tianyun didn't even look at her, which made Bai Chenxiang a little indignant.

Normally, she was the most beloved person in the family. With her beautiful appearance, she was the focus wherever she went. However, Yu Tianyun didn't even look at her. She couldn't help but say:

"Hey, my name is Bai Chenxiang, the clan leader is my grandfather, why are you looking for my grandfather?"

Yu Tianyun still looked forward and said in a calm voice:
"No big deal, just some small business talk."

"what business?"

Bai Chenxiang asked subconsciously out of curiosity.

Yu Tianyun shook his head slightly, did not answer, and continued walking forward. Bai Chenxiang stomped her feet slightly in anger, but still led the way obediently.

Her grandfather had just told her that the stern man in front of her was from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan and had a very high status. He was not someone they could afford to offend. She, Bai Chenxiang, was not stupid enough to deliberately offend Yu Tianyun.

When I arrived at the main hall, I saw a tall and well-proportioned old man sitting in the main seat, looking at Yu Tianyun with sharp eyes.

This old man was Bai He. His head was full of silver hair, casually draped behind him, but his face was as rosy as a baby's, and it was obvious that he had not suffered much.

Although Yang Wudi has black hair, his skin is much worse than Bai He's. His body is covered with scars and his face is full of wrinkles.

Bai He laughed loudly, stood up and clasped his fists, saying:
"I didn't know that Master Yu was coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I hope you can forgive me."

Yu Tianyun also bowed in return, and asked with a hint of doubt:

"You are too polite, Chief Bai. Do you know me?"

If other young people from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan came, he would not be so enthusiastic. This was revealed to him by Yang Wudi at the last gathering of the four clans. Bai He kept a smile on his face and said enthusiastically:

"Master Yu is extremely talented. I have heard of this before. Come and sit down. Xiangxiang, go and serve the tea."

Bai Chenxiang responded reluctantly and turned to leave.

Bai He turned to look at Yu Tianyun again and asked:
"Mr. Yu, I heard you were here to discuss business. What is it?"

After Yu Tianyun sat down, he got straight to the point and said:

"Chief Bai, I came here this time because I got a piece of news that the Min clan has a treasure, which is a medicinal herb called Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng. The business I want to discuss with you is about this medicinal herb. Please name a price, Chief Bai." When Bai He heard about the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, his expression changed. The smile on his face disappeared immediately and became a little cold. The Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng was something he regarded as a family heirloom. He had not even revealed it to Yang Wudi. How could he sell it easily, no matter how much money he offered? Even if he, Bai He, starved to death and ended up on the streets, he would never sell it!
"Master Yu, although I don't know where you got the information from, my Min clan will definitely not sell the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng!"

Bai He said this with a firm expression, as if there was no room for negotiation.

Yu Tianyun smiled slightly and said:

"Then I'll make you an offer, how about that?"

"No matter how much money it is, this is not about money!"

Bai He shook his head upon hearing this.

Yu Tianyun didn't care and quoted the price:
"Fifty thousand gold soul coins."

"Sigh~"

A barely perceptible gasp came from Bai He's mouth. Even though the sound was very light, it was still noticed by Yu Tianyun, who was obviously very shocked.

Ever since Bai He led his family to leave the Haotian Sect, the Min clan has no way to make money and has been relying entirely on the other three clans and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan for support in recent years. However, the help provided by the other three clans and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan is limited, and can only maintain basic living necessities such as food and drink. After all, a little kindness is repaid with a big kindness, and this is an unchanging truth in the Douluo Continent.

(The entire clan combined doesn’t even have a thousand gold soul coins in their pockets. Five hundred thousand gold soul coins is simply an astronomical figure for them, just like the village chief of a small village with dozens of households compared to the top ten richest people in the country.)
But Bai He still tried to appear calm, and after taking a breath, he said:

"Master Yu, this is really not about money."

Yu Tianyun noticed that his breathing had become a little faster, and he smiled and spoke again:
"One million gold soul coins!"

"Sigh~"

Bai He couldn't hold it in any longer. He failed to control his facial expression. His heart was bleeding. He roared in his heart:
"The people in this big family are really unkind. I want to break a dollar into two halves to spend, but they ask for 500,000 or 1 million yuan at a time. I'm so angry! I really want to slap this brat to death!"

Today, Bai He saw what a rich person was. He felt that he had been a failure in his life. Even when he was in the Haotian Sect, he had never seen so much money. But he was still unwilling in his heart. He didn't want to hand over the crystal blood dragon ginseng just like that.

He paused for a moment and suddenly realized something was wrong. Why was Yu Tianyun so concerned about the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng?

In fact, he himself did not know the correct way to use the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng. He only sensed that it contained a lot of energy and must be very precious. However, medicine is three-point poison, so he did not dare to use it rashly. So he made up his mind and prepared to test it:
"Master Yu, no one knows how to use this crystal blood dragon ginseng, so why are you wasting money on it?"

When Yu Tianyun heard this, he knew what Bai He was planning. Bai He didn't dare to reveal to Yang Wudi the slightest knowledge that he had such a treasure, so naturally he didn't know how to use the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.

Yu Tianyun thought for a moment and decided to tell him. After all, he would definitely ask Yang Wudi about it afterwards. If it got out then, people would say that Yu Tianyun deceived an old man, which would undoubtedly damage his reputation.

"Hmm? No, why don't I have any evil thoughts this time?"

Yu Tianyun suddenly realized that if he followed his idea when he just left Tiandou City, he would definitely kill people to silence them and rob them directly. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
"Sure enough, the heavenly thunder can indeed restrain evil spirits. Now I should not be affected by the evil spirit of the Dark Demon Evil Tiger. I told you that I am a pure and kind person. How could I possibly have such evil thoughts?"

Yu Tianyun was in a very good mood at this time, and said to Bai He with a smile:
"Patriarch Bai, this crystal blood dragon ginseng is only a medicine for replenishing qi and blood and improving physical strength. Moreover, the energy contained in it is enormous. It will do harm to people below the Soul Saint level, and people above the Soul Saint level are too old to take it."

Hearing this, Bai He frowned and couldn't help but said:
"Hearing what Master Yu said, this Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng is useless, so why did Master Yu spend so much money on it?"

Yu Tianyun smiled calmly and said, "Patriarch Bai, this crystal blood dragon ginseng has the word 'dragon' in its name, so it is naturally very useful to soul masters with dragon martial souls. As long as a soul master with dragon martial soul has the cultivation level of a soul master, he can absorb the medicinal power from it. And only our Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan has a true dragon martial soul on the continent, so I am in urgent need of this herb."

When Bai He heard what Yu Tianyun said, he felt that it made sense, but he still had doubts in his heart. He was afraid that Yu Tianyun was deceiving him, and he was hesitant for a while.

At this time, Yu Tianyun saw his appearance and spoke again: "Patriarch Bai, I heard that Patriarch Yang of the Poyi Clan is proficient in pharmacology. He must recognize this herb and know its efficacy. If Patriarch Bai does not trust me, you can go ask Patriarch Yang."

After hearing this, Bai He frowned even more. He didn't dare to ask Yang Wudi. If Yang Wudi knew, he would scold him to death. Yang Wudi would definitely say: I treat you as a brother, but you hide it from me? I have helped you for so many years in vain. Don't contact me anymore.

In fact, every word Yu Tianyun said was true. His words were all written on the list of immortal herbs given to him by Yang Wudi.

At this time, Bai Chenxiang came in with tea. After putting it on the table, she noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange, so she looked at the two of them.

Yu Tianyun also raised his head at this time, and his eyes met Bai Chenxiang's. Neither of them looked away.

Bai Chenxiang has always been arrogant. When she looked at other people of the opposite sex, she would always look away first. But now Yu Tianyun's unscrupulous gaze made her feel a little embarrassed and annoyed. She complained in her heart:
"How can this guy be so shameless, staring at me all the time? Even though he is really handsome, he can't be so presumptuous, why doesn't he look away…"

Yu Tianyun didn't know what Bai Chenxiang was thinking, but when he saw Bai Chenxiang, he suddenly knew how to continue to promote this deal.

At this time, Bai He also raised his head and saw the two people looking at each other. Suddenly, an idea popped up in his mind, and this idea kept growing. The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

next moment,
"Clan Chief Bai..."

"Master Yu..."

"Hmm?" Both of them were slightly stunned. They didn't expect that they would speak at the same time.

"Ahem, Mr. Yu, you speak first." Lily coughed and stretched out her hand to signal Yu Tianyun to speak first.

Yu Tianyun did not refuse. He glanced at Bai Chenxiang again and said, "Patriarch Bai, could you please ask Miss Xiangxiang to step aside for a moment?"

Yu Tianyun's next words might cause discomfort to the proud little princess of the Min clan, and he was afraid that she would get in the way again.

"You..." Bai Chenxiang glared at Yu Tianyun. This was her home, and he asked her to leave. It was simply unreasonable. But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Bai He.

"Xiangxiang, go out first," Bai He said in a deep voice. What he was going to say was not suitable for his granddaughter to hear in person, otherwise it could easily lead to bad things.

"Grandpa, you..." Bai Chenxiang said with his eyes wide open in disbelief, but before he could finish his words, Bai He said in a more majestic voice:

"Xiang Xiang, get out and don't act so tantrum."

Bai Chenxiang turned around and left the main hall feeling aggrieved and angry, not forgetting to glare at Yu Tianyun as she left.

Seeing his granddaughter leaving, Bai He looked at Yu Tianyun expectantly and said, "Master Yu, you can tell me now."
