I've already been given the title of Douluo, and you want me to be reasonable?

"This soul bone can grant extremely rapid paralysis ability. Even a titled Douluo would find it difficult to escape unscathed from the White Crane Clan Chief's surprise attack."

The commotion spread like a tide among the clansmen, and the young warriors, their eyes bloodshot, were almost unable to contain themselves and rushed forward to seize the soul bone.

Although the older elders had gloomy faces, their eyes could not hide their greed.

The one-eyed elder, his neck stiff, retorted, "There's no such thing as a free lunch! What exactly do you want us to do? Be your lackeys?"

"running dog?"

Lin Yuan sneered, and a golden light suddenly flew out from his sleeve, transforming into a map of the Heavenly Dou Empire that floated in the air.

"I want the Min clan to become the eyes of the Heavenly Battle."

"Eye?"

Bai He frowned slightly, looked at Lin Yuan in front of him, and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

"Clan Chief Baihe, there's no need to be nervous. The Spirit Hall is making moves, and the Star Luo Empire is secretly amassing troops. If you continue to work in isolation..."

Lin Yuan glanced at the swift totem on the dome and said indifferently, "No matter how noble a martial spirit is, it is nothing more than fish on a chopping board."

The white crane stared at the soul bone, then looked at the restless clansmen. The allure of the ten-thousand-year-old soul bone was enough to make up for the Min clan's biggest weakness.

But once an alliance is formed, there is no turning back.

Bai He looked at Lin Yuan before him, and after much deliberation, slowly said, "Your Majesty Lin Yuan, could you allow us to discuss this and give you an answer in a few days?"

Lin Yuan was not in a hurry. He nodded and said, "No problem. In that case, I will wait for you here for a while. However, I would like to advise you, Chief Baihe, that it is the way to live a long life if you are wise and protect yourself."

Upon hearing this, Bai He stroked his beard and finally nodded, saying, "This junior understands."

After Lin Yuan left, a clear voice suddenly rang out from not far away.

A young girl was seen flying rapidly towards this place.

The girl looked to be about the same age as Tang San and Ma Hongjun. She was tall and well-proportioned, with a graceful and slender figure. She was extremely beautiful, although she was a little thin. However, her appearance was only slightly inferior to Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing.

Her eyes looked somewhat arrogant, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be looking around with great interest in everything around her.

"Grandpa, I'm back."

This person is Bai He's granddaughter, and also the future patriarch of the Min clan, Bai Chenxiang.

Seeing her grandfather looking so worried, Bai Chenxiang asked with a puzzled expression, "Grandpa, what's wrong? Why do you look so worried?"

Bai He sighed softly, looked at Bai Chenxiang in front of him, and slowly said, "Chenxiang, there is something Grandpa wants to ask you, and you must answer truthfully."

Bai Chenxiang sat in the chair. Although she didn't know what her grandfather wanted to ask, judging from his appearance, it was clear that the matter at hand concerned the family.

"If our Min clan chooses to pledge allegiance to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, will you... agree to it?"

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy?" Bai Chenxiang pursed her immature lips and said, "Is the Heaven Dou Royal Academy that Grandpa mentioned the one that recently won the championship of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament?"

“That’s right.” Bai He nodded: “The Heaven Dou Royal Academy belongs to the Heaven Dou Empire. The academy has several Soul Douluos and a few Title Douluos.”

"Just now, the Imperial Tutor of the Heavenly Dou Empire, His Majesty Lin Yuan, visited our Min Clan and wanted us to join the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy. Therefore, I would like to ask your opinion." Bai Chenxiang frowned slightly.

Although she hadn't paid attention to this matter, she had heard about the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, especially about His Majesty Lin Yuan, who was the youngest Title Douluo powerhouse in the Douluo Continent.

For such a gifted Soul Master to personally grace their Min Clan with his presence is already an honor for the clan.

If you refuse, it will be incredibly difficult to get on the good side of this powerful figure in the future...

Bai Chenxiang looked at her grandfather, Bai He, and asked, "Grandpa, what do you want to do? Do you want to directly..."

At this point, Bai Chenxiang fell silent, after all, she couldn't represent the entire family.

"I want to ask for your opinion. As for the conditions, His Majesty Lin Yuan has sent three soul bones that are over 50,000 years old. So, you should discuss it. If we can make the Min Clan the strongest clan, we will agree to become His Majesty Lin Yuan's exclusive clan."

"Three pieces of soul bones that are fifty thousand years old..."

Bai Chenxiang's expression also froze for a moment.

He subconsciously glanced at the expressions of the clan's powerful members and understood that even if he disagreed, those old guys probably wouldn't let it go.

After all, the value of three soul bones is extraordinary. Looking at the entire Douluo Continent, the only ones that could probably offer them are the three upper sects and the Spirit Hall.

Bai Chenxiang pursed her immature lips and said, "I understand, Grandpa. I'll go see if I can get His Majesty Lin Yuan to give my Min clan some more support."

Bai He nodded in satisfaction and patted Bai Chenxiang on the shoulder: "If necessary, if we can use a honey trap... that would be acceptable."

Two blushes instantly rose on Bai Chenxiang's cheeks, like the sunset glow scorched by the blazing sun. She stamped her feet and scolded, "Grandpa! What are you saying!"

She frantically twisted her skirt, her earlobes turning bright red as if they were about to bleed. "What kind of elder would incite their granddaughter to use such methods? I am the future patriarch of the Min clan, how could I... how could I do such a thing!"

Bai He stroked his beard and laughed heartily, a sly glint in his eyes: "Grandpa is planning ahead. Chenxiang, you are naturally beautiful. If you can bring greater prospects to the family, it will be a great use of your talents."

He deliberately dragged out the last syllable, looking at his granddaughter's agitated expression, his tone carrying a teasing elder's tone, "Besides, His Majesty Lin Yuan is young and promising, perhaps..."

"grandfather!"

Bai Chenxiang suddenly stood up, the silver ornaments in her hair jingling. "If you keep talking nonsense, I... I won't talk to you anymore!"

As she spoke, Bai Chenxiang turned to leave, her hair brushing against Bai He's wrinkled hand, bringing with it a sweet scent unique to young girls.

She had only taken two steps when she suddenly turned back, glaring angrily at her grandfather, "You always make fun of me! Wait until I've secured the deal, then let's see if you still dare to talk about me like that!"

After saying that, she lifted her skirt and jogged away, leaving Baihe standing there shaking her head and chuckling softly, her aged eyes full of relief and anticipation.

After all, being able to become Lin Yuan's woman would mean limitless achievements for the Min clan in the future, and there are very few Soul Masters in the entire Douluo Continent who can rival them.

If one could marry His Majesty Lin Yuan, it would be a blessing not only for the family, but also for Bai Chenxiang herself.

"Agarwood, agarwood, the future of our family rests on your shoulders. If you can truly be with His Majesty Lin Yuan... our family will surely rule the entire Douluo Continent!"
