Seeing his expression that was different from the shadowy expression of the previous few times, Baitang knew that there had been a new development in the investigation of Zhao Zhongchen, and listening to what he said, he might have found some key information . "Uncle Zhou, you don't need to be so polite. You and my father are in a cooperative relationship now. If I help you, it's also my father's help."
Zhou Ting laughed, Baitang could say such a thing, but he couldn't take it seriously. After all, it was because of Baitang that he was able to reach a cooperative relationship with Bai Jingyu, and Baitang's help to him was before the cooperation. If he really took all this for granted as the other party said, he would not have to make any friendship with the other party in the future, and the cooperation between them would stop at this time. "Then it'll be a gift from Uncle Zhou to meet you."
After speaking, Zhou Ting took out a gift box and pushed it in front of Baitang. At the very beginning, Zhou Ting wanted to transfer the money to Baitang directly, but if there was a Bai family behind Baitang, would he be short of money? Naturally, he couldn't choose the vulgar way of thanking him by giving money. He also thought about giving away the borrowed villa, but he was afraid that the child would think it was too heavy and would not accept it. After much deliberation, he remembered that Baitang once asked him about antiques With the news, there is this thank you. "Open it and see if you like it."
If Bai Tang knew what he was thinking, he would definitely regret that he was not direct enough, after all, he wanted to get a fortune from Zhou Ting when he approached Zhou Ting in the first place. But after opening the gift box, her thoughts changed. It contained an antique object with spiritual power, and the concentration of spiritual power was almost as high as that of a middle-grade spirit stone.
If he was still in the realm of comprehension, Baitang would naturally look down on a piece of spirit energy with the concentration of a medium-grade spirit stone, but here, it is like a well in the desert. So, there was no concealment of the happy look between the brows.
When Zhou Ting saw it, he guessed that he had given the right thing, and he felt relieved. No matter how much money you send, how can it compare to the goodwill you get from investing in what you want? "Uncle Zhou bought it on a business trip. I don't know about it, so I don't know if it's worth buying." In fact, Zhou Ting procrastinated to get such an antique that was carefully treasured by the original owner.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhou." Baitang accepted the things generously, "I like this gift very much."
"As long as you like it." Seeing Baitang accepting the gift, Zhou Ting was completely relieved.
With the good medium of antiques, the following conversation was carried on happily by both of them. After leaving the coffee shop, Zhou Ting dared not underestimate Baitang even more. Baitang, a girl who has lived in a small town for more than ten years, has no generation gap when talking to him, and she can make him chat very passionately. , One or two points of view occasionally expressed are completely eye-catching.
Unknowingly, Zhou Ting's attitude towards Baitang changed again and again, until now, he has put Baitang in an equal position with himself in his heart.
As soon as Baitang came home, he went to his room and locked the door, then took out the antiques Zhou Ting had given him. Then, the boundary mirror was summoned again, but this time, the boundary mirror didn't respond at all to whether the antique was real, and there was no restriction inside, it was just an ordinary antique object with aura.
Bai Tang was not disappointed either, the Jie Jing was not needed, so it could be used as the center of the spirit-gathering formation when the jade was delivered on the weekend.
Soon the weekend came, early in the morning, Baitang was expected to take a medicinal bath, and Bai Nan went out hanging down. Cheng Bo was already used to the arrangement that the siblings, especially Baitang, had to go out every week, so he sent them out with a few simple words of concern.
Because they were going to Bai's father's villa, Bai Tang had nothing to hide, and directly asked the driver to take them to the gate of the villa.
After getting out of the car, Bai Nan took the key and walked over to open the door first.
Baitang still had the same arrangement as last week, the two went to their respective bathrooms to take medicinal baths and practice kung fu. After soaking, Han Shaozhe also sent the jade to this villa according to Baitang's changed address.
The first time he came to the door, Han Shaozhe didn't send other people to deliver things, he moved the bags of jade in the trunk to the storage room designated by Baitang by himself.
"This is the agreed deposit." Putting down his things, Han Shaozhe turned to Baitang, unable to hide the eagerness in his eyes. He already knew that Zhao Zhen's internal injuries were half healed, so he didn't need to confirm what that meant. This trip to S City on a whim should be his blessing.
Baitang didn't open the bag to check it. She used her soul to sense it in it just now. Although the aura was weak, it proved that this method is feasible. "I still have a serving for one person, do you want to try it here?"
Han Shaozhe was waiting for her words, and immediately nodded without hesitation, without any doubt or guard against her.
Bai Tang glanced at it, didn't say anything more, and led him to the guest room on the second floor, where there was already a medicinal bath prepared for him. She was sure that Han Shaozhe would not refuse her proposal, and the other party's performance did not disappoint her. If the other party's reaction just now was a little hesitant, or did not show enough trust in her, she would take him to another room Reconstitute a medicated bath that is twice as effective as this one.
"You just need to practice and maintain it for an hour."
Han Shaozhe was taken aback, "It's that simple?" Seeing Baitang nodding, he asked again, "Don't you need to use silver needles?" Ordinary medicated baths help with traumatic injuries, but he thought it would be easier to improve martial arts. It is very complicated, such as needing silver needles to help absorb the medicinal effect.
Baitang glanced at him up and down, and asked in a very calm tone: "You can use silver needles if you want, but which position do you want to have a few needles?"
Han Shaozhe understood from her expression that if he nodded his head, the other party would give him an internal injury so that he could give him the needle as he wished, so he shook his head immediately. "I'm going in." Regardless of whether the procedure is too simple or not, the decision will be made in an hour, maybe it won't take an hour for him to know whether the bet is worth it or not.
Bai Tang waited for him to go in and closed the door before walking out of the room. When he came to Bai Nan's bedroom, Bai Nan had already changed into clothes that were convenient for squatting. When he saw her coming in, he asked suspiciously: "Did someone come just now?" But who would come
"Don't worry about the one who came to deliver materials to us." Regarding Han Shaozhe's introduction, Bai Tang directly omitted his name, "After squatting on the horse, continue to swing the sword."
"Give me a decent sword." Bai Nan muttered, and started to walk in the yard downstairs.
Baitang didn't follow to keep an eye on people, and went downstairs to the storage room. Opening the bags brought by Han Shaozhe one by one, Baitang didn't pick out the jade stones with spiritual power one by one, and directly used the power of Yuanhun. The next moment, more than a dozen pieces of jade stones floated into the air from inside.
Baitang looked at the dozen or so pieces of jade and frowned. With just this concentration of spiritual power, a dozen yuan is not enough for her to hold on to the breath. Baitang couldn't help feeling sorry for his interspatial ring that was blown up in the black hole.
Walking out of the storage room, Bai Tang looked towards the yard for a while, and Bai Nan squatted there intently, then went upstairs again. Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Baitang began to sort out his memory again, trying to find out a set of mental methods that can be used without a lot of spiritual energy. However, Daomen's exercises all pay attention to steady and steady, step-by-step progress. If you want to achieve quick success, only the Demon Sect has it.
Baitang never rejects the techniques of the Demon Sect, not to mention the qi-training mentality of the beginners. Once she gets into the sect, she can switch back to the Qingyun Sect's mentality and continue to practice.
Bai Tang thought it easy, but he knew that this transition would not be so easy, and there might be a danger of losing his Dao Xin. But now that she's in this situation, what else is there to be afraid of
In the end, Baitang came up with a set of relatively less radical magic methods. But even with Momen's heart method, the dozen or so pieces of jade are still not enough for her to breathe. She got up and walked to the balcony outside the door, standing and watching Bai Nan squatting below.
After Bai Nan's first stance training was over, Han Shaozhe also came out of the guest room. As soon as he came out, his mental outlook was a little different from before he came in, and his momentum was more restrained.
"The little doctor's medicated bath is really extraordinary." After soaking once, he felt the signs of loosening his current realm. In his heart, he couldn't believe such a quick effect, because the effect was so good. "I will bring another batch of jade over tomorrow."
But Baitang shook his head. Seeing her reaction, Han Shaozhe suddenly raised his heart, "Did I do something that misunderstood the little doctor?" He had just realized the benefits of medicinal baths, so how could he give up just like that? .
Baitang spread out his clenched right hand, on which lay a piece of jade with spiritual power. "I need this kind of jade, fifty yuan." The further she goes, the more jade she needs, so she can't ask Han Shaozhe to bring a large number of jades over every time to pick out the jade with spiritual power in it. Too low and too obtrusive.
Suspiciously, Han Shaozhe took the jade thrown by Baitang into his hand. At their level, the difference between this piece of jade and ordinary jade can of course be clearly distinguished. However, in Han Shaozhe's perception, although he can vaguely feel that the jade has some special aura in it, to them, this kind of aura is like jade can support people after a long time, and it is of no use. It's just that occasionally there will be one or two pieces that can nourish the mind so that they will not be so restless when they practice.
"I want to take the liberty to ask." As Baitang raised his gaze to meet his, Han Shaozhe felt a pressure enveloping him, and his somewhat lazy standing posture straightened up, "little doctor Do you need this kind of jade for a long time?"
Baitang didn't speak, but kept looking at him with calm and calm eyes, and at the same time, there was a mental pressure that gradually piled up.
Han Shaozhe didn't understand why the originally friendly scene suddenly became serious, but after staring at Baitang's eyes for a while, he gradually noticed something different from it, and an idea rose in his heart uncontrollably. Immediately, without changing a single movement, he forcibly resisted Baitang's increasing pressure.
A few minutes later, Han Shaozhe was already sweating profusely, and even the clothes he had just changed into were soaked. His straight legs didn't look stiff at all, but in fact they could soften with a light poke. Will rely on will to stay there.
Han Shaozhe didn't seem to feel anything about these things, and he still stood there straight and motionless. And in his heart, the awe of Baitang has risen to a high level that even the elders of the family can't replace. In his capacity, he has seen the hidden masters in the family a long time ago, but no one can bring him as great danger as the other party. He has no way to describe this paradoxical feeling, but he is inexplicably certain that even the Supreme Elder who is the most hidden in the clan and is their Han family's trump card may not be the opponent of this little girl.
But would an old man who had reached the innate realm be a match for a teenage girl? Han Shaozhe's heart sank, he couldn't believe it, but this little girl became more and more mysterious and unpredictable in front of him.
In the end, Baitang put away his overpowering momentum, Han Shaozhe immediately let go, but his body staggered for several steps before regaining his footing. He raised his head and smiled wryly at Baitang: "Little doctor, after all, we are also a cooperative relationship of fair trade. Are you being too ruthless?"
"Han Shaozhe." Baitang ignored his complaint and called his name in a cold voice. At this time, Baitang's whole body did not show any momentum, even his eyes and expression were similar to those of an ordinary female student. But such an ordinary girl who is so ordinary that people will only look at her pretty face a few more times before people will pay attention to her when she is thrown in the crowd, on the contrary, Han Shaozhe clearly felt the innate love Lofty above—awe-inspiring and inviolable. "Has anyone in your Han family broken through to a realm higher than the innate realm?"
Hearing this, Han Shaozhe was shocked, and even had a little fear of the meaning behind this question. "Little doctor, what do you want to say?" It was extremely difficult for Han Shaozhe to answer a sentence of less than ten words.
"You, do you want to be the number one person?" Baitang looked him in the eyes and asked word by word.
Han Shaozhe no longer knew how he was able to remain calm and stand here. At this moment, he heard his heart beating so violently that he couldn't control it. He exhaled with difficulty, and looked back into Baitang's eyes, "Why do you make me believe it?"
Breaking through the shackles of the innate realm, who in the entire martial arts world would not want to, but how many people dare to think about it
This possibility is not so much a huge temptation as it is a huge storm that will cause turmoil in the martial arts world.
After hearing what he said, Baitang smiled slowly.
Han Shaozhe felt a very gentle force enveloping him, and then he saw his feet were lifted off the ground, and floated into the air bit by bit, until he stopped in mid-air at a height of half a person. "This...how is it possible! It must be because of my dazzled eyes." For Han Shaozhe, this kind of method was no longer within his comprehensible range, and even the self-deceiving words like dazzled burst out of his mind.
At this time, Baitang's voice sounded again: "Now, tell me, do you want to be the number one person?"
Han Shaozhe woke up from this voice, he bowed his head in silence for a while, and when he raised his head again, a smile so bright as to sway appeared on his face: "Apart from me, who else can be the number one person? "
Regardless of whether it will bring a storm or not, this is his opportunity for Han Shaozhe, and no one can take it away. "Little doctor, no, senior, please accept me as an apprentice." After regaining consciousness, Han Shaozhe's stagnant thinking started to work again. There are many higher realms above the realm, and those powerful ones even have the power to fly with a sword and overwhelm mountains and seas.
And how far is his current state from the Yujian flight mentioned above? For a moment, Han Shaozhe felt that the opportunity he had bumped into was frighteningly great. If he didn't still have a sense of reason, he might not be able to face Baitang normally.
"Want to be my disciple?" Baitang chuckled and sent Han Shaozhe back to the ground. When Han Shaozhe heard her laughter, he didn't know why he felt a sense of crisis.
"Maybe my aptitude is not in your eyes, senior, but I am willing to work hard and know how to do things. I will never let you worry about ordinary things." Said, Han Shaozhe kneeled down to Baitang Li, "Master, just accept the disciple."
"Your qualifications are too poor."
Han Shaozhe choked, he didn't expect that the other party would really block him with qualifications. "Senior, the hand you showed today must be something that needs me. With your help, senior, I can take down the entire Han family in a few years. At that time, I am willing to represent the entire Han family at the senior's disposal."
Only then did Baitang's expression change, "Follow me."
Han Shaozhe's enthusiasm was broken by these words, and he happily followed Baitang to the study.
Baitang took a blood contract that he had prepared long ago from the bookshelf and spread it out on the table, "This is a contract." Other than that, Baitang didn't give half an explanation.
Han Shaozhe read the content of the above contract, turned his head and said to Baitang: "I am willing." He was numb to every time Baitang used methods that were different from those in the martial arts world, even though the above content was a lot of disadvantages to him. Some, even completely rely on each other's cooperation, but in the face of future rewards, they are all worthwhile.
Baitang didn't talk nonsense, and instructed Han Shaozhe word by word how to complete the contract.
After all this was done, Han Shaozhe raised his request for apprenticeship again, and Baitang looked at him with a smile that was not a smile: "It's fine to be an outer disciple with your aptitude, but it won't be too late until you sit in that position." .”
Han Shaozhe was satisfied with this answer, and at the same time he was also shocked by Baitang's division of disciples, but this strengthened his determination to go in. After seeing the world that Baitang showed him, the world he sees now is too small, if he has a chance to climb higher, he will try his best to climb it without a ladder.
"I won't disturb senior's rest today, I will send the jade that senior needs as soon as possible." Han Shaozhe bowed respectfully, and exited the study.
After he left, Baitang sat on the chair. She was thinking about whether the step she had taken was right. This was the plan after seeing Han Shaozhe's ambition, and he made up his mind after the other party asked about the demand for jade. Of course, she can find Papa Bai to solve the jade problem, but Papa Bai's family is not owned by Papa Bai alone. Besides, how can the resources and contacts accumulated by the martial arts family be comparable to that of ordinary wealthy businessmen
If she wants to cultivate, the more she goes up, the more she needs. It is impossible for her to spend time looking for it every time to judge whether it can be used. Then, controlling a family is the safest and most convenient way.
Han Shaozhe, with both ambition and status, is the best candidate for her.
But in terms of controlling people's hearts, the methods of the Demon Sect are more reassuring. Baitang took the contract and got up and left the study. For a young martial artist who hadn't stepped into the innate realm, even this kind of inferior contract that could be called an imitation was enough.
By the next day, Baitang knew that her choice was right—Han Shaozhe sent over the jade she needed in the afternoon.
