Hearing Han Muye’s words, the few Divine level experts of the Bai family looked at each other and chuckled.
Han Muye might not care about origin coins, but the Bai family couldn’t afford not to give them.
Not only did they have to give, but they also had to give more.
Master Han’s t.i.tle had already been decided, and he was just waiting for the announcement of the core Elder position. To the Bai family, these were things beyond the measure of origin coins.
If they could establish a relationship with Master Han, the Bai family might have the support of such a powerful figure as a core Elder in the future.
“Master Han, please”
Bai Shiju slightly bowed and gestured forward.
Despite his position in the alliance, he was naturally inferior to Han Muye.
A few Divine level Elders escorted Han Muye into the hall.
The head of the Bai family, Bai Jingting, did not follow.
His cultivation had yet to reach the Divine level, so he wasn’t qualified to accompany these mighty figures.
To these aristocratic families, each level of cultivation was a different realm.
The Divine level truly controlled the family’s power.
As for the Family Head, he could make decisions on ordinary matters but wasn’t qualified to partic.i.p.ate in the dealings of Divine level experts.
Bai Jingting stood outside the hall, watching the door slowly close. He turned around and looked at Wu Zhao, standing not far away.
He quickly walked over to Wu Zhao.
“Young Friend Wu”
Just as he spoke, Wu Zhao hurriedly bowed, “Wu Zhao pays respects to Patriarch Bai. Just call me by my name.”
Wu Zhao did not dare to address Bai Jingting as a young friend.
Although he wished to be called so, allowing him to brag in Wuyun Alley for a lifetime, he knew he wasn’t qualified.
The aristocratic families in Wuyun Alley were not something a mere Level 5 Armor Master like him could meddle with.
“Haha, Young Friend Wu, you are Master Han’s loyal follower. Naturally, I have to call you young friend.” Bai Jingting smiled as he took a step forward and handed a jade token to Wu Zhao.
“Young friend, this is a voucher for one million origin coins from the Jujin Trading Company, a small gift from the Bai family.”
One million origin coins!
Wu Zhao’s body trembled.
The head of the Bai family casually gave him a million origin coins, a fortune he couldn’t even dream of.
Wu Zhao was about to refuse, but Bai Jingting pressed his hand down and whispered, “Young friend, tell me, which aristocratic families did Master Han visit along the way?”
Wu Zhao couldn’t retract his hand and had to hold the jade token.
After hesitating, he nodded.
“Master, I accompanied Master Han to the w.a.n.g family, but…”
He recounted his encounter in Wuyun Alley in a low voice. Although Bai Jingting’s expression remained unchanged, a strange light flashed in his eyes.
“Patriarch, Patriarch w.a.n.g is here to visit,” reported a cultivator on duty nearby.
Bai Jingting nodded with a smile and then patted Wu Zhao’s shoulder. “Young Friend Wu, being able to follow Master Han, your future is limitless.
“You must seize this opportunity.”
With that, he walked towards the courtyard with his hands behind his back.
Wu Zhao held the jade token, his expression changing before he lightly nodded.
“Thank you for the reminder, Master Bai.”
He could accept the gift but couldn’t hide it from Master Han.
This was a reminder from the Bai Family Head.
Wu Zhao heaved a sigh of relief. A hint of excitement appeared on his face, but he suppressed it.
Unknowingly, he was no longer the ordinary low-level cultivator with no future in the city.
He would have more opportunities like today in the future.
As long as he kept his bottom line, knew what to say, what not to say, what to take, and what not to take.
At the entrance, Bai Jingting greeted the figure standing on the stone steps with a smile.
The head of the w.a.n.g family, w.a.n.g Zijin.
“Haha, Brother w.a.n.g, today’s winds are really favorable. We’ve just received a distinguished guest, and now Brother w.a.n.g is waiting for us…” Bai Jingting saw w.a.n.g Zijin’s expression change when he heard the word “distinguished guest” and deliberately stopped talking to laugh.
w.a.n.g Zijin took a deep breath and put on a calm expression.
He cupped his hands and said, “Brother Bai, our w.a.n.g and Bai families have always enjoyed a harmonious relationship and are on the same side.”
These words made the smile on Bai Jingting’s face widen.
In the past, the Bai family and the w.a.n.g family never got along. Where did this harmony and camaraderie come from?
“Yes, Brother w.a.n.g is right.” Bai Jingting raised his hand and gestured. “It’s rare for Brother w.a.n.g to visit. I will hold a banquet to entertain you alone.”
When he heard there was a banquet, w.a.n.g Zijin’s expression remained calm. But when he heard it was a private treat, his expression changed again.
He stared at Bai Jingting and took a deep breath. He lowered his voice and said, “Brother Bai, I won’t beat around the bush. Didn’t you receive that esteemed guest?”
If they were to entertain him alone, what about the Divine level experts in the clan?
No matter what, he, w.a.n.g Zijin, was the head of a family. He was qualified to sit with Divine level experts.
Unless the Bai family had another important matter.
“How can I, Bai Jingting, be qualified to receive such an esteemed guest? Of course, all the Elders in the family will accompany him.”
Bai Jingting quickly explained.
All the family Elders accompanying him!
What kind of person was this!
w.a.n.g Zijin trembled.
“What? Brother w.a.n.g doesn’t know the ident.i.ty of that esteemed guest?” Bai Jingting could no longer suppress the smugness in his heart. He smiled and took a step forward. “Brother w.a.n.g, this person went to your w.a.n.g family first…”
w.a.n.g Zijin wished he could punch this fellow in the face.
However, he knew that now was not the time to be angry.
As the head of the family, he needed to be flexible.
“Brother Bai, I’ve embarra.s.sed myself in front of you.” He cupped his hands and lowered his voice. “I hope Brother Bai can tell me who this person is…”
This time, Bai Jingting did not hold back at all and said directly, “This is Master Han. He’s the only Master Han in the world, the 19th core Elder of the Alliance of Refining Masters.”
