In the evening, at the door of Bai Mansion, Bai Yinglan was looking forward to it.
She is waiting for Tianyang.
The Bai Mansion is hosting a banquet tonight to celebrate the Bai family's military achievements in the Fortress War and their acquisition of the operating rights to the two Frost Gold Mines in Dragon Throat Ridge in Black Star Fort.
Frost Gold Ore, also known as Tianshuang Black Gold, is a precious molten material. According to a specific formula, it can also be refined into a special alloy that is resistant to cold and high pressure.
Places like Hokuriku, where snow falls all year round and the weather is freezing cold, need a large amount of "Tian Shuang Wu Jin". If this metal is transported to Hokuriku, the profits will be staggering.
Unfortunately, the Bai family does not have such a long-distance caravan, but the representative of the Golden Court seems to have a way in this regard. He has signed a cooperation agreement with the Bai family in his personal name. He is responsible for transporting the frost gold to the North Continent, and the profits will be divided 40% and 60% between the two parties.
The Bai family holds 60%, which is not a large share, but it can establish a relationship with the representatives of the Golden Court. This value is enough to offset the profit from the transfer.
Furthermore, in this fortress war, Bai Wuji performed outstandingly, ranking 11th on the personal battle list, and his rank was promoted by one level.
Such a good talent should be valued.
Both Storm and Iron Wall extended olive branches to him. No matter which legion Bai Wuji joined, he would immediately be promoted to the rank of major.
In the last family competition, the Bai family suffered a heavy blow when it was revealed that the head of the family had colluded with the enemy.
Now that a fortress war has been won, the family is not much worse than the Yun family in terms of popularity and actual benefits. It can be said that they have regained their glory.
That's why the Bai family held a banquet to celebrate and invited many friends to take the opportunity to expand their influence again.
Therefore, at this moment, the Bai Mansion was filled with distinguished guests.
At this time, a magnetic car stopped near the gate. On the car was the emblem of the Shangwumen Gao family. The door opened, and a young man with a slicked-back face walked quickly around to the other side and opened the door. He lowered his body, bowed and nodded, looking like a servant.
A man got out of the car. It was Gao family’s grandson, Gao Yue!
Gao Yue looks radiant and well-dressed tonight.
As soon as he got off the car, he was immediately recognized. Although someone came forward to try to make friends, he was stopped by a family guard who came with Gao Yue.
This guard was about 40 people, with steady steps and a strong aura. Although there was only one person, when he stood forward, people dared not approach him.
So Gao Yue and his good friend Lu Jingye were able to walk over. When he saw Bai Yinglan, Gao Yue's expression moved, and with a smile on his face, he walked straight towards the eldest lady of the Bai family.
Bai Yinglan wore a white dress which was rare tonight, which slightly reduced her heroic spirit and made her look more gentle.
Gao Yue looked intoxicated and said with a smile, "Miss Bai, why are you here?"
Bai Yinglan glanced at Gao Yue calmly: "I'm waiting for someone."
The pale-faced young man Lu Jingye laughed and said, "Miss Bai must be waiting for our Young Master Gao."
Although this statement may seem like flattery to Gao Yue, it is not completely wrong. Bai Yinglan and Gao Yue are both from the same class, so what Lu Jingye said is somewhat reasonable.
Bai Yinglan suddenly looked at Lu Jingye, with a sharp light in her eyes. This young lady of the Bai family was a good fighter at level 4, and she was as good as any man in the fortress war.
Lu Jingye was just a lazy young man, how could he withstand her gaze that was as real as substance? He was immediately frightened by her stare and could not help but take a few steps back and lower his head.
Then Bai Yinglan asked calmly, "Who is this?"
Gao Yue's heart skipped a beat, knowing that Bai Yinglan was already unhappy. This was equivalent to saying that you, Lu Jingye, had no right to speak here.
"This is a friend of mine. He just said it unintentionally. Please don't take it to heart, Miss Bai."
Gao Yue changed the subject; "I wonder who Miss Bai is waiting for, could it be Brother Yunfeng?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yinglan smiled: "He's here."
Gao Yue and Lu Jingye looked out the door together and saw a blue magnetic car parked in the square in the distance. Then, a silver-haired boy got out of the car.
There was a fragrant breeze around him. Bai Yinglan had already left Gao Yue and the other person and went out.
Gao Yue and Lu Jingye looked at each other and exclaimed at the same time: "Is it him?"
Lu Jingye gnashed his teeth and said, "Why is it this little white-haired guy again? He's really haunting us!"
Gao Yue's face was even more gloomy: "I didn't expect that Bai Yinglan was waiting for him."
After leaving the church, Tianyang went back to his apartment, changed his clothes, took some gifts, and then came to the Bai family.
As soon as he got off the car, he heard Bai Yinglan's voice: "Tianyang, this way."
Tianyang looked at it and was a little surprised.
I'm used to seeing Bai Yinglan's heroic figure wearing armor and holding a gun, but now I see her wearing a skirt and jewelry, transforming into a graceful young girl. It's a bit strange.
Seeing the young man looking at him in a daze, Bai Yinglan's mind was slightly moved. He took the initiative to step forward, took his hand and said, "Come on, what are you standing there for?"
When Gao Yue saw Bai Yinglan actually holding Tianyang's hand and swaggering past him, the grandson of the Gao family felt very uncomfortable.
Bai Yinglan was cold to him, but was actively enthusiastic towards Tianyang. This contrast was too strong, so strong that he couldn't swallow it.
"Master Gao, this little white-haired boy is too arrogant. He actually held Miss Bai's hand in public. What does he mean by this!"
Lu Jingye has already stood up for Gao Yue.
Gao Yue raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Bring the gift and let's go in."
When we arrived at the hall, we saw Bai Shengjie personally welcoming guests.
Bai Yinglan directly pulled Tianyang to the front of the Bai family's patriarch: "Dad, look who's here."
Tian Yang exclaimed in his heart, looking back and forth between Bai Yinglan and Bai Shengjie. In the previous family competition, when he transformed into the "God of Death", he heard Bai Yinglan call the current head of the family uncle, and he didn't expect that they were actually father and daughter.
Bai Shengjie laughed and said, "Yinglan, this is the friend Tianyang you mentioned, right?"
"Yes, he is Tianyang." Bai Yinglan gently pushed Tianyang from behind, pushing him towards his father.
Tianyang quickly said, "Hello, uncle."
Bai Shengjie was about to exchange a few pleasantries with him when he heard a voice indifferently say, "Are you calling me uncle too?"
Hearing this voice, Tian Yang had already pictured Gao Yue in his mind. Turning back, it was indeed him.
Gao Yue walked over, bowed slightly to Bai Shengjie, and said with a smile: "Uncle Bai, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look younger and younger."
Bai Shengjie laughed: "So it's Xiao Yue, you are still so eloquent."
Gao Yue smiled faintly and gestured. Lu Jingye came up with a gift box and opened it. Inside were eight pieces of star crystals. Each piece was the size of a palm and of high quality. When the box was opened, a hazy glow suddenly appeared, attracting a crowd of people.
Amazing.
Gao Yue smiled and said, "This is a small gift from my nephew. Please accept it, Uncle Bai."
Bai Shengjie did not refuse, but just said politely: "How can I be so embarrassed to let you spend money, Xiaoyue."
Gao Yue smiled and said, "Of course I should."
After the Bai family accepted the generous gift, Lu Jingye glanced at Tianyang and smiled gently: "So this is Miss Bai's friend. He actually asked Miss Bai to wait at the gate in person. They must be close friends. I wonder what gift this gentleman has prepared. Can you let me see it?"
Bai Yinglan immediately looked at Lu Jingye and said, "I am a guest of the Bai family, it is not your turn to talk nonsense here!"
Gao Yue quickly stood in front of Lu Jingye and said calmly, "Jingye, this is Bai's house, not a place where you can talk casually. Apologize to Miss Bai quickly."
Bai Yinglan turned away: "No need, I'm not so magnanimous as to be so magnanimous."
Bai Shengjie laughed and tried to smooth things over: "You are all young people, and young people speak frankly. Yinglan, don't take it to heart. Help me take Xiaoyue and his friends to their seats."
Just as Bai Yinglan was about to agree, he heard Tianyang say in a clear voice: "Uncle Bai, I didn't prepare any big gifts, I just brought a reward item from this war, please accept it."
Tianyang held a long silver-gray box in his hand, opened the box, and saw a long sword inside.
Bai Yinglan just saw him carrying a box, which he thought was a weapon, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a gift.
Bai Shengjie looked at the sword carefully: "What is this?"
Tian Yang briefly introduced: "This sword is called Ba Xia. Although it has the specifications of a straight sword, it has the weight of a heavy sword. Its inherent ability is called coercion, which can create a suppressive force field, affecting the actions of the opponent within the force field."
As the head of the Bai family, Bai Shengjie naturally had a broad vision and knew that the power of this material weapon was very ordinary. However, this was a reward that Tianyang got in the fortress war, so it had some commemorative significance and was considered to be of some value.
Just as he was about to accept it, someone laughed and said, "How dare you take out a piece of scrap copper and iron to show off your ugliness? Little brother, you really look down on the Bai family."
Tian Yang looked over and saw a fat man with a fat head and big ears and fair skin came out. He moved slightly towards Gao Yue and said, "It's a rare opportunity to be invited by Miss Bai, so I asked you to take out eight pieces of high-quality star crystals like Master Gao. At least, you should take out half of them. In the end, you only brought such a broken sword. It's a pity that you can bring out such a good sword."
After saying that, the fat man looked at Gao Yue with a flattering smile: "Master Gao, don't you agree?"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the room shouted, "You farted!"
The fat man's expression froze, and he shouted, "Who is it? Come out if you dare!"
The crowd parted, and a middle-aged man reeking of alcohol came out. Tian Yang was stunned. What the hell, the banquet hasn't even started yet, and you're already so drunk
The middle-aged man strode up to the fat man and poked his chest with one finger: "You blind man, what do you know!"
He looked at Tianyang again: "Boy, do you think this sword was obtained from Black Star Castle?"
Tian Yang nodded and said, "I found the collection room in the main building of Black Star Castle. Chief Dong Fang of Iron Wall gave me this as a reward. What's wrong?"
The middle-aged man laughed and said, "That's right!"
He pointed at Ba Xia fiercely: "This sword was once the weapon of Beichen, the Lord of Black Star Castle!"
Bai Shengjie's eyes suddenly lit up.
