Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 234 Xiao Bai, your smile is so cunning!

As soon as Zi Yan finished speaking, the air in the room froze.

Xiao Bai felt a chill run down his spine as he immediately sensed three pairs of eyes staring at him.

Cai Lin's eyes were sharp as knives, Yun Yun's gaze was meaningful, while Zi Yan blinked her big eyes with an innocent look on her face.

This brat who loves to stir up trouble

He glared fiercely at Zi Yan. When did he ever say such a thing? Even if that was what he thought, could he really say it out loud?

With a determined heart, he straightened up, suppressed his anxiety, strode over to the table, and boldly sat down next to Cai Lin.

The three people in the room were taken aback, and for a moment they were a little confused by Xiao Bai's actions.

Then Xiao Bai reached out, pointed to the empty seat beside him, and said loudly:

"Yun'er, come and sit down!"

Not far away, Yunyun, who was standing gracefully, was caught off guard by the sudden call of "Yun'er".

However, upon seeing a woman who was on the verge of breaking down, a smile flashed in her beautiful eyes. With a graceful sway, she walked over and sat down elegantly.

"Xiao Bai!"

Seeing this, Cai Lin's narrow, beautiful eyes burned with fury, her voice low and menacing, as if she wanted to slap the man beside her to death.

Xiao Bai pretended not to hear, picked up a teacup from the table, poured a cup of tea for each of the two people beside him, and said slowly with a serious expression:

"Since you're all here today, I'd like to discuss something with you!"

"Discuss?" Cai Lin crossed her arms and sneered, "Discuss what kind of 'tea-drinking' is going to happen?"

She and that woman had nothing to discuss, unless it concerned this bastard man.

"!" Xiao Bai.

"Ah Niu, what is it?" Yun Yun said, resting her chin on her hand, her voice gentle as water, "Is there anything you need me to do?"

"Vixen!" Cai Lin curled her red lips and snorted coldly.

Yun Yun covered her mouth and smiled, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!"

Feeling Cai Lin's sharp gaze, Xiao Bai felt helpless, but on the surface he remained calm.

"cough……"

He coughed lightly, trying to break the awkward silence.

Xiao Bai put down his teacup, his gaze shifting between Cai Lin and Yun Yun before finally settling on Cai Lin's cold and beautiful face.

"Cai Lin, listen to me, okay?" Xiao Bai's tone was steady and his expression was serious.

Cai Lin snorted coldly, crossed her arms, and stared at Xiao Bai with an icy gaze. She did not interrupt him, but simply stared at him coldly, waiting for him to continue.

Xiao Bai took a deep breath and continued, "What I'm about to say is extremely important to both of you!"

"Oh?" Yun Yun smiled slightly, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes. "Aniu, what is it that makes you so serious?"

Xiao Bai glanced at her, nodded to himself, and thought that Sect Leader Yun was much better off. He said:

"I intend to unite the Serpent People with various forces within the Gama Empire to form an alliance!"

This is currently the best way to balance the interests of all parties; otherwise, if any one of the various factions becomes dominant, there will be hidden dangers.

The snake-people are no good. If they were to take the lead, given the hatred between them and humans, countless petty squabbles would likely arise.

Humans won't work either, otherwise Cai Lin will be in a very difficult situation.

Therefore, it would be better to follow the original work and form an alliance.

Judging from the development in the original work, the formation of the alliance was almost entirely beneficial to both the Yunlan Sect and the Snake-People Clan.

Upon hearing this, Cai Lin knew he was talking about serious matters, and the anger in her eyes lessened slightly. She said thoughtfully:

"An alliance?"

Thinking of his recent promise to add Xing Tian, ​​he immediately understood that Xiao Bai's idea was not sudden, but rather something he had planned for a long time.

"If you were to handle this, given your current prestige in the Gama Empire, there shouldn't be any major issues. But could you elaborate on this alliance?"

Yun Yun pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, turned her head to look at the person beside her, her eyes smiling.

In the past, if anyone dared to suggest forming an alliance, the sect would be the first to object.

As a powerful sect with a long and illustrious history, the Yunlan Sect's status naturally attracted the envy and covetousness of countless forces, but no one was foolish enough to stand up and take its place.

But things are different now. If the man beside her really wants to do it, she believes that no one can stop him, and no one will stop him.

Upon hearing this, Cai Lin also looked at Xiao Bai, her eyes filled with curiosity, wanting to know what this alliance he was talking about was all about, and she was also a little annoyed.

That bastard kept it from her all along, but as soon as this vixen arrived, he blurted it all out!

"I plan to integrate the Serpent People, the Cloud Mist Sect, the Gama Royal Family, the Alchemist Guild, and the Mittel Family into an alliance."

Meeting two pairs of beautiful eyes, Xiao Bai smiled slightly and began to explain the initial outline of his plan.

Cai Lin and Yun Yun's gazes were simultaneously focused on him. One was as cold and aloof as ice, and the other as gentle as water, but both of their eyes carried a hint of inquiry and contemplation.

Cai Lin narrowed her long, beautiful eyes slightly, her tone carrying a hint of doubt:

"Use the snake-people as the backbone? Xiao Bai, do you know how deep the hatred between the snake-people and humans is? Even I cannot completely suppress the dissenting voices within the clan."

Xiao Bai nodded, his expression serious: "Of course I know, but that's precisely why I hope to gradually resolve the conflict between the snake people and humans through an alliance."

"The alliance was not formed for anyone to suppress anyone else, but for common interests and survival."

Yun Yun nodded gently and said softly, "A Niu is right. If we can join forces, we can not only strengthen each other, but also be more secure should any future crises arise!"

Seeing Cai Lin's slightly furrowed brows, Xiao Bai took one of her slender hands, squeezed it gently, and smiled:

"In the early stages of the alliance, the Serpent People can maintain relative independence, only needing to cooperate with other forces at crucial moments."

"As for the dissenting voices within the clan, I believe your prestige is enough to suppress them."

He sighed inwardly. This silly queen, if it weren't for her and Yun Yun, why would he bother with these trivial matters?

This was out of concern that if he were not around, and if they encountered the guardians of the Soul Palace, they might feel some protection.

The only redeeming benefit of this alliance for him is that it provides some protection for the Xiao family's safety; otherwise, it is utterly useless!

"My Yunlan Sect has no problem with this, but you must be the leader of the alliance, otherwise those old fogies in the sect might disagree!"

Yun Yun glanced at the two holding hands, her expression unchanged, and said softly.

"snort!"

Cai Linyu struggled slightly with her jade-like hand, but couldn't break free. Too lazy to bother with this rogue, she turned her head slightly away.

"I can grant your request, however..."

"I want to be the vice leader!"

As she spoke, seemingly afraid that Xiao Bai would misunderstand her, she glanced at him, lowered her eyes slightly, and said calmly:

"You should understand what I mean: the interests of the snake-people need to be protected!"

"Vice Alliance Leader?"

Seeing this arrogant queen, Xiao Bai's eyes were amused, and he stroked his chin and smiled:

"That's not right. Yun'er just said that I must be the leader of the alliance. If you are the vice leader, wouldn't this alliance become a one-man show for our family?"

"You are you, and I am I!"

Hearing him call that woman Yun'er again, Cai Lin's beautiful eyes darkened slightly, a nameless anger rising in her heart, and she said coldly:

"There is absolutely no relationship between you and me now!"

"Alright!"

Releasing Cai Lin's jade-like hand, Xiao Bai picked up his teacup, took a sip, and nodded in response, concealing his excitement.

Just now, he deliberately addressed Sect Master Yun as Yun'er in front of Cai Lin. Although she seemed very angry, she did not do anything excessive.

As for Sect Master Yun, he deliberately held Cai Lin's hand to test her attitude, and it seemed that there was no problem.

That's interesting.

At this moment, his eyes were bright, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a mysterious smile.

"Xiao Bai, your smile is so cunning!"

Sitting opposite her, Zi Yan, who was resting her chin on her two little hands and looking rather bored, rolled her eyes and said in a crisp voice.

The latest novel is first published here!

In an instant, two pairs of eyes turned to look at him, and Xiao Bai's smile froze.

This brat, she's not going to stop until she's completely destroyed today, is she?

Wasn't it just that she wanted to go to Yunlan Sect together that day, and he didn't agree to it?

"nonsense."

Facing two suspicious gazes, Xiao Bai calmly put down his cup, glanced around, and smiled:

"Yunzhi, what are your requirements?"

Yun Yun gently shook her head and chuckled:

"I trust you. Do you really think you'd let me suffer a loss?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than a murderous gaze swept over her. Cai Lin's narrow eyes were as cold as ice from the deepest hell.

Xiao Bai was taken aback. Seeing her expression, he immediately knew that she was really angry.

He smiled bitterly to himself, then reassured her, "I believe you. Yunzhi didn't do it on purpose!"

Yun Yun then realized that there was indeed something wrong with what he said; it seemed like he was trying to sow discord between the queen and the king.

The latter had just finished saying she wanted to be the vice leader of the alliance when she said she believed in Xiao Bai, making it seem as if she didn't believe in Xiao Bai.

"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant!" Yun Yun said earnestly. She had witnessed firsthand how much the queen cared for Xiao Bai that day on Yunlan Mountain.

Cai Lin then withdrew her gaze, glared at Xiao Bai, and snorted coldly.

Seeing the somewhat somber atmosphere, Xiao Bai sighed softly and frankly said:

"One of you is the king of the snake-people, and the other is the head of a sect. This so-called alliance is something I only conceived because of the two of you!"

Seeing the two looking at him, Xiao Bai sat up straight and decided to lay things out, slowly saying:

"The Soul Palace, you must have seen it that day. It's a behemoth, with its minions scattered across the continent. Although the Gama Empire is remote, their influence is not lacking in the surrounding area!"

"Don't let that Protector Wu's strength fool you; he's nothing special within the Soul Palace. Once things are settled here, I'll leave the Jia Ma Empire as soon as possible!"

"The purpose of establishing this alliance is simply to provide assistance when I'm not around, in the event of danger. I don't care about any of that talk about an alliance leader or vice-leader!"

As he spoke, Xiao Bai tilted his head slightly, his eyes deep and his expression serious:

"Cai Lin, I know you're only asking because of the Snake-People, but even if you only want the position of Vice Alliance Leader, I'll still give it to you!"

"So, you don't need to worry about what I might think or anything like that. In my eyes, none of that matters as much as a single hair on your head, you know?"

Cai Lin was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

A complex look flashed in her narrow, beautiful eyes. She hadn't expected Xiao Bai to say those words so bluntly.

The line, "These things are not even as important as a single strand of your hair," in particular, sent a shiver down her spine.

She pursed her red lips, and the coldness in her eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a barely perceptible gentleness.

She turned her head away, her tone carrying a hint of arrogance:

"Hmph, glib tongue!"

Watching the interaction between the two, Yun Yun's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, but she quickly concealed it, put down her cup, and said softly:

"Ah Niu! You're injured, so please rest well. There are still many things to do at the sect, so I'll head back now. I'll come see you again tomorrow!"

"Let's go! I'll see you off!"

Xiao Bai stood up, glanced at Cai Lin, and saw that she only glanced at him slightly without saying a word. A smile flashed in his eyes.

"Um!"

Yun Yun responded softly, stood up, smiled at Cai Lin, then winked at Zi Yan and said with a smile:

"Little Ziyan, if you're bored, you can come and play at the Yunlan Sect!"

"Okay, goodbye Sister Yunyun!" Ziyan waved and a big smile appeared on her face.

The two walked out of the house and into the courtyard.

"Ah Niu."

"Let's call him Xiao Bai!"

Seeing Yun Yun shake her head in refusal, Xiao Bai looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"There are many Xiao Bais, but for me, there is only one A Niu!" Yun Yun gazed at him for a moment and smiled.

Xiao Bai immediately understood what she meant.

Xiao Bai could belong to many people, but A Niu belonged only to her.

Like Xian'er, Xian'er always called him Xiaobai.

Seeing that he understood her meaning, Yun Yun chuckled, came to his side, gently raised her slender hand to straighten his slightly wrinkled robes, and said softly:

"There's no one in charge at the sect, so I can't stay too long. If you have time, you can come find me anytime!"

"I will go!" Xiao Bai nodded and smiled.

Thinking of the strange feeling that arose in his heart when he saw the stone gate behind the Yunlan Sect when his vertical eye was activated, he made up his mind to go and take a look after his soul power recovered a bit.

"Then I'll be going now!" Yun Yun took a step back, gave him a deep look with her beautiful eyes, and energy wings appeared behind her.

Xiao Bai smiled, then suddenly reached out and grasped her delicate hand, applying slight pressure.

"you"

Yun Yun nestled in Xiao Bai's arms, a blush rising on her exquisite face. She glanced around, and finding no one nearby, breathed a slight sigh of relief, then said with a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance:

"You little brat, let me go!"

Xiao Bai ignored her struggles, lowered his head to her ear, inhaled a faint fragrance, and whispered:

"My Yun'er, every strand of her hair is equally important!"

Yun Yun was taken aback, then instantly realized what he meant. This philandering bastard was really thoughtful.

He had captured the fleeting emotions that had crossed her face.

"Who cares how important you are!"

Yun Yun gently pushed him away, a hint of reproach on her jade-like cheeks, her eyebrows slightly raised, and a trace of shy joy hidden in her fierce tone.

She tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear, gave him a coquettish glare, and let out a soft snort:

"Alright, you annoying little rascal!"
