C5 Absolute dead end
Bai Ruyue did not continue listening to him, but turned and walked back silently.
She wanted to stand out and say that she would be the one protecting Bai Family, but would she be the guard? What did she use to protect him?
She did not truly understand the situation with Bai Family. The original owner's memories could only contain three things:
The Bai Family was guarded by a Herb Mountain for generations.
As the Chief's father, he was injured by the monster half a year ago and was saved by it. However, his meridians were damaged and he was unable to condense any battle qi.
During the Thirteen Cities Conference, the other twelve families would definitely take away Bai Family!
"Miss? Why did you come to the outer court? " When the old butler just returned from sending the guests off, he saw that Bai Ruyue was already outside the door.
"Uncle Yuan, I want to go to the Herb Mountain. If you're not busy, why don't you accompany me?"
The original owner had been to the Herb Mountain before, and had gone there more than once. However, he had only gone to a medicinal garden in the Herb Mountain to identify some medicinal herbs, and did not have much contact with them.
Bai Ruyue could head there on her own, but since she had met the old butler, she hoped to obtain some useful things from him.
"Sure, I'll accompany you."
As the two of them walked forward, Bai Ruyue talked to the east and the west as she gradually got a better understanding of some of the things around them.
Cloud Sea Island was an alliance that had been tied together ever since it was established.
They were originally strong armies under the Demon Suppressing King. After killing all the Demons of the Cloud Sea Island, they followed the Demon Suppressing King's instructions and took root in the ground of the Cloud Sea Island, establishing the Thirteen Cities of Clouds.
This was because there were a total of thirteen major surnames in the army. The ones with few surnames could only rely on these thirteen surnames.
In the area that the Bai Family occupied, there was a mountain that was filled with spirit energy. Bai Ruyue's great-grandfather's generation grew medicinal herbs on the mountain.
Pills had always been an extremely precious item within the Nine Realms, so naturally, their raw materials were extremely precious as well.
Thus, after a few generations of cultivation, Bai Family was distributed at once. This time, the other families in Thirteen Cities of Clouds were not very comfortable.
Half a year ago, when the Herb Mountain was attacked by the demon, although Bai Changwu repelled the demon, he was still heavily injured, and became a cripple with no power to defend the mountain. The other twelve families who were lusting after him naturally seized the opportunity to take away the authority to manage Herb Mountain.
This was the only chance for them and it was also the Thirteenth City Meeting. Because on that day, everyone could completely use Thirteen City's overall interests to coerce Bai Family to give out this Herb Mountain ?
Therefore, the only hope for Bai Family was naturally on Bai Ruyue, but unfortunately ?
"Sigh!" Bai Ruyue sighed, at least she understood why the original owner couldn't handle Shi Mai and directly died.
It seemed that Bai Family were like meat on the chopping block. Everyone wanted to divide the meat, but they had no way of resisting.
"Miss, the thirteenth city in the day after tomorrow will be the day of Bai Family's suffering. At that time, you better tell Young Master Lu Family well, and at the most critical moment, let Lu Family pull us!"
"Oh ?" Bai Ruyue responded, but in her heart, she was complaining:
And a tug? It was already good that he did not push her! He only hoped that his father would be sensible and not find trouble with her!
"Father!" You have to take revenge for this child! "
Lu Zhenghai lied on the bed. Other than his head, his entire body was covered with medicine, and was wrapped tightly like a cocoon.
"Hmph, I still need you to say it! Our Lu Family's faces have been completely thrown away by you disappointing thing! Can I not? "
"Someone come!" "Hurry and gather all the servants!" Lu Hu, who was sitting next to the bed, immediately wiped his tears and greeted her.
"Wait!" What do you want from the gatekeepers? " Lu Yuan looked at Lu Hu.
"Of course to drag Bai Ruyue out from the Bai Family and break her bones!" Just as Lu Hu said that, Lu Yuan slapped her face!
"Stupid!" Lu Yuan glared, "Truly, a mother must have a son. The two of them are equally stupid!"
"Master ?"
As a son, he clearly has a seventh stage battle qi, but he was beaten to such a state by a stone vein. Why is that?" As a mother, would she really attack the Bai Clan if she didn't understand the situation? Do you want to be beaten like a pig's head on the Bai Clan's land?
"I, I don't want to." Lu Hu covered her face: "But our son must be punished for being bullied like this!"
"You don't have to come personally to make a decision!" Lu Yuan glanced at Lu Zhenghai as he spoke:
"Although it's understandable for Little Hai to break off the engagement in public, he didn't give him any face due to Bai Family. What's wounded is the friendliness of Thirteen Cities, it's not suitable anywhere. This matter needs to be settled by a different path!"
"Old master, you mean ?"
"Someone come!" Go visit Bai Family number two and tell him, because Bai Ruyue is a business and my family's Little Hai cannot marry Bai Ruyue, but Lu Family and Bai Family have always been close, so my family's Little Hai is willing to take Bai Ruyue as her wife ? "
"Old master!" Lu Hu's eyes widened.
"Father!" Lu Zhenghai screamed miserably.
"Of course, Bai Changfeng has to become the Patriarch of Bai Family, otherwise if he can't protect the Bai Family, my son wouldn't need to marry Bai Family as a wife." Lu Yuan waved his hands after saying that, and the butler left immediately.
"Father, that Bai Ruhua isn't beautiful!" Lu Zhenghai unhappily emphasized: "You want to ruin my son's happiness!"
"That's right, old master, the Bai Family is in danger right now, do we need to surround the Bai Family anymore?" Lu Hu also quickly expressed his opposition.
"Two idiots!" Lu Yuan glared at them: "I want them, the Bai Family people, to teach themselves a lesson, don't you? What was Bai Ruhua afraid of? Clown, that's why you're not picky, you just didn't want that Bai Ruyue for the sake of your Lu Family! "
"But son ?"
"Don't worry about her! If Bai Family number two really obtains the qualifications to the Herb Mountain, our plan will remain the same! You marry openly! Then, letting Bai Ruhua become a living corpse, wouldn't Herb Mountain be our family's? "
"Hey, what should I do?"
Inside her room, Bai Ruyue had a face full of worry.
She spent most of the day walking around the Herb Mountain, and then ? She was speechless.
A portion of the medicinal herbs cultivated by the Bai Family belonged to spirit herbs. Those so-called high and medium quality medicinal herbs were actually just low-grade spirit herbs.
The medicinal properties of a pill made from such medicinal herbs were unstable, thus the success rate was low. It was a type of pill which she had never come into contact with in the past.
But even so, the price was not cheap, so the Herb Mountain of the Bai Family had planted them.
However, all the spiritual herbs would release their spiritual energy, attracting the monster to salivate and devour it.
That was the reason why Father Bai Family was injured by the demon.
And as the Spirit Grass grew, in the future, more monsters would invade. With the current state of the Bai Family, he was truly unable to guard the Herb Mountain.
If she wanted to protect her Herb Mountain, the only way would be to let her Bai Family possess the secret recipe for pill refining.
She had the secret recipe, but she could not spread it to others. She could only concoct pills herself, but the problem was that this body was Shi Mai!
He was so crippled that he couldn't even condense battle qi. How could he use his battle qi fire to refine pills?
A dead end, this was definitely a dead end.
