In the evening, Gu Yan got the news from Papa Bai that he was able to walk, and was shocked for a while. "If I knew there was a prescription in that circle that could cure my second brother's leg disease, I should have asked for it a long time ago." Bai's father only said that the prescription was found by Baitang's master, and he used his internal strength to recuperate and cure it. Alright, I didn't reveal a single word about Baitang's mentality that is different from ordinary martial arts and the means of treating him. It's not that Bai's father can't trust Gu Yan, but for the safety of his daughter, it's better for one less person to know about this kind of thing. No one knows if there will be any special means in the world of martial arts to pry news from others.

"My legs are good morning and night, there is not much difference, so why should I ask you to do something you hate?" Dad Bai smiled and didn't care, "However, the old man really wants you to help the second brother once. "

"How to help?"

"Your father is the clearest. This time, I will trouble you to take me to City B. When I come back, my legs will be able to walk openly."

Gu Yan nodded with a serious face, "That's no problem, when does Second Brother want to leave?"

Papa Bai pondered for a while, and said, "Let's go there together after Tangtang and the others finish the exam. With Tangtang and Xiao Nan here, the old man won't think so much." The old man hopes that Gu Yan can go back, but if he and Xiao Nan If Yan went to City B alone, he might think too much, even in the name of treating his legs. But it's different with Tangtang and Xiaonan, these two children don't know anything about Xiaoyan's life experience, so they will naturally take them with them in the unfamiliar place of B City. And if there is anything abnormal, the old man can also ask something from Xiaonan.

"Baitang has just joined that circle, so it's not suitable to go to City B now." The disciples of aristocratic families and sects have always been arrogant when dealing with self-cultivation without background. When they encounter some conflicts, it will be more troublesome to deal with than ordinary aristocratic families. . In this regard, neither he nor the Bai family has an advantage.

"It's okay, we're just going to show it." After a pause, Dad Bai said again, "If something really happens, this road is chosen by Tangtang herself, and she should be prepared to meet any road she encounters. Frustration." As for whether he, the father, will intervene at that time, that's another matter.

"Then I'll make arrangements."

"I'm sorry, Xiaoyan."

Gu Yan's face softened a little, and he turned and left the study.

The weather is getting colder, and with the change of winter clothes, Bai Tang and Bai Nan also ushered in their first final exam at Qiming Middle School. On the day of the exam, Bai Feng clenched his fists and said "Come on" to the two of them. After Bai Nan also clenched his fists and touched him, he happily ran to the classroom. As for Baitang, Bai Feng wisely didn't ask this cousin and himself to do such childish behavior.

"Come on." Outside the examination room, Wang Yu encouraged her, but her tone was a bit teasing, "If you pass the exam, you won't be sad this year." When the Chinese New Year comes, the elders gather together to chat, and they, the juniors, become their talk. Therefore, during the Chinese New Year period, these juniors, no matter how good or bad they are, will become particularly obedient. In case something happens to embarrass the family, when the elders come back from visiting relatives and friends, they will suffer.

"You too."

After the two-day exam was over, all the students breathed a sigh of relief, and they started asking friends how to spend the holiday.

After Bai Tang and Bai Nan knew that Papa Bai would take them to City B together, they rejected all the invitations and concentrated on preparing their luggage. They flew to city B on the third day of the holiday. Before going, the siblings both talked to their homeroom teachers on the phone, expressing that they had something to do at home and would not be able to go on the back-to-school day, and an uncle at home would come and collect the report card.

As the head teacher of the mixed class, I am not used to this kind of leave, so I passed their leave without asking any questions.

"When we arrive in City B, do we have a place to live?" Bai Nan felt that no matter how rich his father was, he wouldn't have his own real estate in a place where he hadn't been around before. "Can we go anywhere?" When going far away, Bai Nan doesn't want to go back without visiting anything.

"Don't worry, your uncle has a house in City B, so he won't let you stay in a hotel." The last time he stayed in a hotel, Bai Nan and Bai Tang complained in private that he didn't like living in this kind of place. .

Bai Nan looked at Gu Yan with some embarrassment, and was a little surprised that the other party still had his own real estate in City B. "I don't know how long we'll be going this time."

"Half a month." Although half a month is still a bit tense, it is enough to deal with the old man's doubts. At most, he delayed the "healing" for a while. "You and your sister can think about where you want to go when you arrive in City B. Dad will accompany you as much as possible if he can."

"Then I have to think about it." But after getting off the plane, Bai Nan still had no idea where to go for a stroll.

After leaving the airport, Gu Yan led them straight to a black car. After Papa Bai was settled first, Gu Yan and the siblings sat in the back seat together. Seeing that they were all sitting still, the driver stepped on the accelerator and drove the car out of the airport.

Bai Nan lay by the window all the way to watch the scenery passing by outside, turning her head to stop Bai Tang from time to time and whispering something to her. Baitang couldn't bear to spoil his interest, and chatted with him until we got off the car.

Gu Yan's house is in a villa area in a high-end community. The layout and size of the villa are similar to that of Baitang's villa, therefore, Bai Nan, who saw all the strange sights along the way, felt a little familiar with this villa.

"You can live in whichever room you like." Opening the door and entering, Gu Yan said to the siblings.

Bai Nan said a few words politely, then dragged Bai Tang up to pick a house. When they got here, Papa Bai no longer pretended to be in a wheelchair, and together with Gu Yan took the luggage of the four of them upstairs.

After everything was settled, Baitang received a call from Han Shaozhe. Knowing that they were coming today, Han Shaozhe still wanted to arrange someone to pick him up at the plane, but after learning about Gu Yan, he stopped thinking about it. Now counting the time, they should settle down, so they called to say hello.

"Senior, do you want to meet some of my people first, or go to Zhao's first?" During the call with Baitang, Han Shaozhe asked questions directly most of the time.

"Meet your people first."

Han Shaozhe was overjoyed, "I don't know when it will be convenient for senior?"

"tomorrow."

"Then I'll arrange it."

Bai Tang put away her phone and called Bai Nan over, "Tomorrow you and I will go to the same place."

"Just the two of us?" Bai Tang nodded, "Isn't it good to leave father and uncle behind?" Bai Nan didn't know the purpose of Bai's father bringing their siblings, but she also guessed that it was for a useful purpose. Now Baitang told him that he would act alone on the first day, and he was worried that it would conflict with Papa Bai's purpose.

"On the first day there will be no problem."

Seeing that she was sure of what she said, Bai Nan lost a little hesitation, nodded and agreed. Sure enough, after Baitang proposed this arrangement during dinner, Dad Bai agreed without any embarrassment. Instead, Gu Yan took a few more glances at them.

Therefore, when Gu Yan stopped him on the corridor, Bai Tang didn't feel too surprised. Leaning on the armrest, she raised her head slightly to look at Gu Yan who was looking down, and asked indifferently, "What do you want me to do, Uncle?"

"Are you going to see Han Shaozhe tomorrow?" Gu Yan asked with absolute certainty.

Baitang didn't deny it: "Uncle, do you have any good advice for me?"

Gu Yan was surprised by her frankness, frowned, and handed over the stack of documents she was holding behind her. "The water in city B is too deep. If you rush in so recklessly, you will be worried about the second brother. Besides, what kind of child is Bai Nan? You actually brought him in together."

Baitang scanned the text on the information, it was the information of several martial arts families of the Han family. It has only been two hours since the end of dinner, and this person has sorted out all the materials of several of their families. If he said that he hadn't prepared in advance, she wouldn't believe it at all.

Bai Tang stretched out his hand to take the information, and replied, "I have no right to decide my own path for others. Since Bai Nan has determined his own path, as a sister, I can only take care of him within the scope of my ability. What will happen after that is up to him to leave."

After hearing this, Gu Yan frowned and didn't know what he was thinking. After a long while, he dropped the last sentence: "If you encounter an accident, call me no matter what time it is."

Holding the document in his hand, Baitang pursed his lips while looking at Gu Yan's back.

Back in the room, she read the information one by one, and it was not much different from the information that Han Shaozhe emailed her earlier. Of the martial arts families passed down in City B, there are only four famous and powerful families, the Zhao family, the Han family, the Li family and the Sun family. Among them, the Zhao and Sun families are friendly, the Han family and the Zhao family have been hostile for a long time, and the Li family has always been neutral.

The strength of the four families is ranked, with the Han family being the largest, followed by the Li family, and then the Zhao and Sun families. As for the distribution of masters, each family has three innate masters in charge, and one of the Han family's innate fighters is only one step away from the peak. Now, there is a new young innate master named Han Shaozhe, For a time, the reputation in the martial arts family was in full swing.

It was also because of Han Shaozhe's change that the balance of the situation was broken. During this period of time, even the disciples of the Li family, who remained neutral, had several conflicts with members of other families. It can be said that the situation was the most chaotic, because the situation changed only recently, and Gu Yan was unaware of it. If they knew, they would never let Bai Tang and Bai Nan go to see Han Shaozhe.

Baitang put down the information, besides these four families, there are three other martial arts sects, the Golden Sword Sect, the Yunxiao Sect and the Tianshan Sect. Compared with the masters of the three-person family of the family, there are so many masters of the innate realm of the sect, and each realm has them. However, no matter whether they are strong or weak compared to the aristocratic family, the strengths of the three sects are all equal. Therefore, there has never been a case of a sect annexing the power of the aristocratic family.

Now that the situation is on one side, I'm afraid that the three sects will also be ready to move. Maybe, there has long been a connection between the aristocratic family and the sect, but it has not been made public.

Baitang thought for a while, and Yuan Xun, whom he had met once, came to mind. According to Han Shaozhe, this is the proud disciple of Yunxiao Sect, and he is currently hovering at the critical point of the Xiantian realm. It's no wonder that a seventeen-year-old half-step innate realm martial artist would be confessed like a baby.

Baitang had a premonition that she would definitely meet this Young Master Yuan again during the half month she was in City B.

The next day, Gu Yan drove the siblings to the teahouse agreed with Han Shaozhe. Han Shaozhe waited at the door early. After Gu Yan sent the siblings off the car, he didn't go back immediately, but walked in front of Han Shaozhe.

Seeing his appearance, Han Shaozhe was stunned for a moment, and then put on a polite smile in front of others, waiting for this young man who resembled someone to speak. When Gu Yan met his gaze, he knew that the other party saw the signal from his face, so he said directly: "I am Gu Yan, and the two children call me uncle."

Han Shaozhe was taken aback again, and subconsciously glanced at Baitang. The latter shook his head at him, and immediately realized that Gu Yan, who had warned him, had no idea about Baitang's details, and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Gu." , if any accident happens to these two children, you or the person behind you can come to my Han family to find me."

Gu Yan and him looked at each other for a few seconds, then turned around and returned to the car, without looking at the siblings again.

When the car drove away, Han Shaozhe changed his politeness just now, and took Bai Tang and Bai Nan to the private room upstairs. In the private room, there were four people, three men and one woman. Except for the oldest one who was a warrior of the Xiantian realm, the others were all warriors of the Acquired realm. The youngest one is the only female warrior, about the same age as Han Shaozhe.

"This is Senior Baitang whom I mentioned to you all." After closing the door, Han Shaozhe introduced Baitang to the four of them.

The four stood up together after he came in, and even the old man in the Xiantian realm did not show any dissatisfaction, which shows Han Shaozhe's ability to control people, especially this old man is a level higher than him.

Baitang glanced at the four of them roughly, and matched their information with the information given by Han Shaozhe. The old man in the Xiantian realm is called Han Jian, an elder of the Li faction in the Han family; the two male warriors in the middle stage of the Houtian realm, the tall and fat one is called Han Wujin, and the tall and thin one is called Han Min, a high-level member of the Han family's foreign business line, who is in charge of Han Min. The coach trained by the family's disciples; the last female warrior is Han Xuan, the daughter of the current patriarch.

When he first saw the profiles of these few people, Baitang had to lament that Han Shaozhe chose his own people's vision, and he really didn't let go of any resources. After reading these materials, Baitang said, "Everyone sit down."

Han Jian was the first to resist, and the other three saw that he was not moving, so they followed suit. Bai Tang smiled lightly, pulled Bai Nan over to sit down, and the moment before she sat down, the four of them were pushed back to the chairs by an invisible force. The four of them looked at each other, and they all saw the horror in each other's hearts. Especially Han Jian, this kind of thing is often felt more deeply by people with higher cultivation bases. This method, even the masters of the three sects can't come up with it. Previously, they only heard Han Shaozhe tell how powerful Baitang was. None of them took a little girl who was a doctor seriously, thinking that Han Shaozhe was just being grateful for her bragging. Served for a little refreshment. Now that he sees a real person, he knows that what Han Shaozhe said is not even involved. This is a master whose cultivation has really broken through the shackles of the innate realm. Suddenly, my heart became hot.

"This is my younger brother, Bai Nan." After sitting down, Bai Tang introduced Bai Nan's identity.

This time, unlike the cold scene when they just came in, the four of them enthusiastically introduced themselves to Bai Nan.

Bai Nan was confused about their changes, and then vaguely guessed that Bai Tang must have done something secretly, and she became more and more aware of the reality brought about by strength.

"Senior, you know the current situation, what do you think we should do next?" Han Shaozhe asked Baitang to meet his confidants, one of the purposes was indeed to deter them, and he also wanted to give them a hand. Another purpose is also the most important purpose, that is to know what special plan Baitang has in this changing situation.

"Yi Lao..." Thinking of Baitang's cultivation, Han Jian couldn't tell the self-proclaimed old man who was a bit dependent on the old, and abruptly changed his words, "In my opinion, let the relationship between the Zhao and Sun families be broken first, and when the time comes , are all single-family, and it will be easier to annex any one." Standing on Han Shaozhe's boat, they decided that Han Shaozhe would be the only voice of the Han family in the future. Now with Baitang's support, they have no doubt about this result. Therefore, the more the Han family's territory expands in the future, the more they can gain.

"Did the second elder forget those three sects?" Han Wujin is a businessman, and he is always sensitive to the intricate relationship. "We can't really eat the power of a family quietly. At that time How could the sects that always thought they were superior to our family see our Han family grow up and threaten their status?"

"Brother Wu Jin, what do you mean we need to deal with the three sects first and then deal with the younger one?" Han Xuan asked back with a frown, "Although the three sects have clear positions, once we make an attempt to annex one of them, these three sects will definitely They will unite and eat our Han family first."

"Senior, do you have any suggestions?" Han Min has never been good at thinking about these negative things, so he changed the topic to what Han Shaozhe said at the beginning. It was only then that Han Jian and the three realized that their discussion seemed to have ignored this senior who didn't know what kind of temperament he was, so they couldn't help but shut up a little embarrassingly.

Baitang didn't say anything specious to them to highlight his profoundness, and said bluntly: "As long as you control a family's innate realm master, several of your problems will be solved."

"Uh-"

Sure enough, it is a masterful demeanor, and the solution he said is so simple and rude. At this moment, several people present thought so, and then looked at Baitang eagerly, the expectation in it was self-evident.

Han Shaozhe couldn't stand it, of course Baitang could make a move, and once he made a move, there would be no unexpected death. But in this way, is he still useful to seniors? At that time, all the forces will be merged, and there will be some innate masters who can be driven by the seniors. Compared with those innate masters of the older generation, his cultivation is not enough. "Senior, there is no need to trouble you for such a trivial matter."

The four people didn't understand, Han Shaozhe didn't explain their confusion to them, and continued to say to Baitang: "Previously, seniors mentioned that they wanted to visit Zhao's house. If there is something that needs to be done, the juniors can do it for them."

Having said that, several people reacted. Han Jian was the first to agree: "Yes, as a senior, you can do whatever you need, and leave it to us. Even if we are in the Xiantian realm, Shaozhe and I can still stand up to each other."

Except for the introduction at the beginning, Bai Nan, who couldn't get a word in from the beginning to the end, was stunned from the sidelines. Gradually, he understood the purpose of Baitang bringing him here.

Bai Tang took the time to pay attention to Bai Nan, saw the change in his expression, knew that the child had figured it out, so he took his eyes back. "I have other arrangements for the Zhao family. When I go to the Zhao family, the situation here may have to change. You just need to pay attention to whether the other families have private contacts with the three sects. The rest is up to you plan."

Han Shaozhe was the first to figure out the information represented by Baitang's words. The current situation is caused by his breakthrough, so there will be another change, except that the breakthrough is from a master to a disabled person or directly into a dead person. Based on the Zhao family's design for the senior, could it be the former? Naturally only the latter.

The fall of a congenital master is probably not just a simple change in the situation, but also changes in the three sects. Standing on the top for a long time, these people who treat low-level warriors as ants, no one would have thought that the defeat of a natural master would be so simple, and I don't know if they will be more afraid or...

Han Shaozhe thought about it for a while, and felt that it was more likely that Baitang would abolish a congenital master of the Zhao family. It's not terrible to kill people by leapfrogging. There are always ways to pile up an opportunity, but to abolish an innate master will make the innate warriors of the same level feel uncomfortable.

"Senior, I know what to do." Han Shaozhe didn't know if Baitang's plan had given him a chance to stand out, but he absolutely couldn't watch a great opportunity slip away from him.

"You find someone who is not eye-catching, and take us to find a nearby scenic spot for a tour."

Knowing that Baitang didn't intend to stay any longer, Han Shaozhe didn't force him to stay, and said respectfully, "Yes, senior."

Hearing this request, Han Xuan intentionally wanted to recommend herself, but was stopped by Han Shaozhe's suggestive eyes. After Han Shaozhe asked the Baitang siblings to leave, Han Xuan expressed the question in her heart: "Senior and I are both women, so it's not conspicuous for two women to take a child shopping?"

"But your identity is obvious. Where in City B, when you meet someone who knows you, what do you make them think of Senior?"

"Then why don't you pick people up at the door yourself?"

Han Shaozhe didn't care about Han Xuan's repeated retorts, and calmly said: "Senior and I have known each other since we were in S City. Seeing us together, they at most found out that Senior is a doctor. After all, the Zhao family's affairs are hidden It won't be long. But your identity is different, and if you get too close to senior, you will mark senior as our Han family's mark. You have also seen the attitude of senior just now. Senior will not take the initiative to intervene in the encroachment of power between families Since it is this position, if you do that, I'm afraid you will provoke the wrath of the seniors."

Han Xuan was silent for a moment, and said frankly: "I was too eager, but I stayed in this realm for too long." So long that she thought that there would never be another day of breakthrough in her life.

"The bottleneck, which one of us present has not experienced it?" Han Jian stretched out his hand and patted her on the shoulder to comfort her, "If you want to say anxious, I am more anxious than any of you." Knowing whether the future will suddenly open up, and then rush to the top without bottlenecks all the way. As for him, he is getting older, his potential is getting less and less, and he has almost no chance of breaking through.

"Uncle Jian."

Han Jian waved his hands, showing a relieved smile, "But it's different now, as long as this senior is willing to help, what is the Xiantian realm?" At his level, no warrior can refuse the temptation to break through the Xiantian realm, so he He understood Shaozhe's low profile towards that senior. "At that time, the martial arts world was in the hands of our Han family."

"The second elder is right. In terms of cultivation, we can't help senior, but there are other places where we can help this senior, and then gain her favor." Han Wujin said slowly, "Shao Zhe was not able to help the senior before." How did you get on the line with the senior, we will continue to do what we like in this regard, after a long time, it will not give us a little bit of benefits, right?"

Several people's eyes lit up, realizing that their previous train of thought had gone astray, and they actually let this great opportunity go unnoticed. "However, Shaozhe, do you know what the senior wants these special jades for?"

"Could it be used for cultivation?" As the instructor, the first thing Han Min thought of was cultivation, "But I've never heard that jade can also be used for cultivation."

"Could it be that you can use it for cultivation after reaching the level of seniors?" Han Xuan boldly hypothesized, "If this is the case, do you think we will also leave a copy for ourselves for future contingencies? ?”

This plan was vetoed by Han Shaozhe and Han Jian together, and it was Han Shaozhe who explained: "Let's not talk about whether the function of jade is what we guessed, even if it is, this realm is far away from us. Listen to me, all of you." Now, if anyone wants to take actions that may affect the breakdown of the relationship between us and our seniors for the sake of this invisible benefit, don't blame me, Han Shaozhe, for turning my face against others."

Several people, including Han Jian, were stunned and responded in unison.

On the other side, Bai Tang and Bai Nan arrived at the nearest tourist attraction, which is an ancient house. The tour guide for them was a female college student in her twenties named Lu Xiao. Lu Xiao has a sweet voice and knows a lot. Every scenic spot he passes by can tell them a lot of allusions, and it won't make the two of them boring.

Originally, Bai Nan didn't like to visit tourist areas with boring buildings like ancient houses, but she explained that she became very interested in the history of this house. Catch her asking questions now and then. Lu Xiao didn't bother him either, and patiently answered him one by one. In the end, both of them exchanged cell phone numbers.

Bai Tang didn't stop it, it was her skill that the other party could make Bai Nan develop a certain liking for her in such a short period of time. "Let's go out to eat first."

"There is an authentic local restaurant in front, do you want to try it?"

"OK."

As soon as he arrived at the restaurant, Bai Tang bumped into Yuan Xun who came out of the restaurant. Yuan Xun didn't expect the two to see each other so soon, he was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled: "Hello, I'm Yuan Xun."
