Chapter 531: To Repay a Favor
Chapter 531: To Repay a Favor
When the two shop assistants of Bai's rice shop saw the old woman, they immediately bowed respectfully and greeted her, "Patriarch."
The two were obviously a little surprised. They obviously didn't expect that the patriarch would take personal action on this matter.
But then again, looking at what happened just now, if the clan leader hadn't taken action personally, they would have definitely failed this time.
What clan leader? Chu Jingtang and the other two were stunned and had some guesses. Could it be?
They subconsciously looked into the distance. The dust was still rising and moving towards this side.
They were not wrong in their guess; the visitor was none other than Grandma Qi, the patriarch of the Bai clan.
Grandma Qi waved her hand to the two waiters to excuse them, then said to Chu Jingtang and the other two in a friendly manner, "May I know your names?"
The three of them looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed. They were confused about the situation and didn't know whether to lie to others or tell them their true identities.
The problem is that I feel that it may not be appropriate to lie to others. This person is the patriarch of the Bai family. He looks like a highly respected person. And looking at his actions just now, it was truly astonishing.
The three of them have not yet evolved to the level of Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang, who see mountains as mountains and water as water.
They are also easily blinded by the halo of status.
If it were Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang who couldn't figure out the situation, they would definitely lie first. At worst, they could apologize later. Anyway, they didn't think apologizing was shameful.
Fortunately, Grandma Qi was kind and amiable. Seeing the three people in trouble, she did not embarrass them and said with a smile, "Alright, if you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. But you have seen the current situation. It is not safe to let you leave like this. Contact Gao He. Since he knows that the people from the Extreme Fire Sect are going to take action, he should have someone to help. I will not feel at ease if I don't hand you over to the person who can help me now."
Chu Jingtang and the other two naturally knew who Gao He was. They were chosen by the sect to be entrusted with important tasks, so they were no ordinary people. When they heard the other party mention Gao He, their eyes met again and they all realized that this person's appearance was not due to his good relationship with the boss.
The other party obviously doesn't know that the person next to Wu Hehe is the real boss.
But this is not important. What is important is that the boss can provoke this person to rescue them without revealing his identity.
To be honest, they were quite touched that such a huge force could be mobilized for the three of them, and they felt more at ease unconsciously.
"Why, you must not tell me that you can't contact Gao He, or are you afraid that I have ill intentions towards you?" Grandma Qi added with a smile.
Although it was just a joke, it gave the three people inexplicable pressure.
Chu Jingtang thought about it and took out the mother-child talisman, turned around and sent a message to Shi Chun: The Bai clan leader is here in person, and she just helped us personally. She said that it might be dangerous if we leave now, and she wants to hand us over to the contact person in person, and asked me to contact Mr. Gao.
The last sentence was the key to the reminder. He felt that with the intelligence of the two people, they should be able to understand what it meant.
After sending the message, he pinched the mother-child talisman and put it back into his sleeve. He turned around and looked at Grandma Qi, bowed slightly, and said, "Thank you for waiting."
Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang, who were hiding not too far away, put their heads together to read the same message and were both very surprised.
"No way, Grandma Qi, the head of the Bai clan, came here in person to take action?" Wu Jinliang muttered, somewhat incredulous.
Shi Chun said slowly: "No wonder you can create such a powerful formation with just one move."
The intention of sending the request for help to Bai Qiru was indeed to stimulate the Bai family to send out experts to help, but he did not expect that it would stimulate the best of the Bai family to come out.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but wonder, "This is to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Can Huang Yingying be so important?"
Wu Jinliang also found it unbelievable. "They also said that Bai Qiru was expelled from the Bai Clan. This Bai Clan seems strange no matter how you look at it. I say, such a big commotion, it can't be a self-directed and self-acted one, right? The Jihuo Clan only arrested Chu Jingtang and his men, how could they send out such a master? This treatment is too exaggerated, why can't I believe it."
Shi Chun: "Even if this is just a show, I just want to ask you one question, do you want to save these three?"
This question was indeed annoying. Wu Jinliang couldn't help but point at the mother-child talisman in the other party's hand and curse, "Damn it, you're not at ease until you see the contact person. What are you saying? You're using the ready-made danger as an excuse. What should I do? It's like you're forcing us to go out and meet."
In fact, it is also possible that she really wanted to be a good person to the end, or maybe she was really worried, but he never thought of Grandma Qi, who was kind-hearted, as a good person. He didn't think of her as a respected person. He was not Chu Jingtang and others, so he would not buy into that. If it was weird, it was weird.
Shi Chun thought for a moment and said, "One will go to investigate the situation. If anything unexpected happens, the other will contact the Demonic Path to take action."
Wu Jinliang knew that the decision had been made and sighed, "I am the only one who is most suitable to go. She asked me to contact her, and it would be disrespectful for her if I didn't show up."
Shi Chun looked at him and asked, "Can you handle it?"
Wu Jinliang sneered, "Who are you looking down on? It's not like I haven't seen people more powerful than this old woman. Let's go!"
He left as soon as he said he would, and quickly jumped into the forest, turning in another direction to avoid exposing Shi Chun.
Shi Chun, who was watching them, seemed a little silent. The image of Wu Jinliang, who used to carry a big knife and fall behind when he encountered danger, gradually became blurred. The road was not far, and Wu Jinliang quickly jumped out from another direction and landed at the meeting point.
Be it Grandma Qi, the two shop assistants, or Chu Jingtang and the other two, they all turned around to look at the person who fell from the sky.
Wu Jinliang landed next to Chu Jingtang, nodded to the two rice shop clerks, and spent most of his time staring at Grandma Qi.
Seeing that Grandma Qi was also looking at Wu Jinliang, a shop assistant hurriedly introduced him, "Chief, he is Gao He from the rice shop."
Then he introduced to Wu Jinliang, "This is the patriarch of my Bai clan."
Wu Jinliang was so surprised that he bowed and said, "Excuse me, so you are the famous Grandma Qi. I apologize for your indecency."
Grandma Qi leaned on her cane and said with a smile: "How can it be impolite? This is quite polite."
I was secretly surprised. Wasn't he still staying at Zhulang Pavilion? How did he appear here? What happened to those extra guards? How could they misjudge such a big guy?
In fact, she recognized Wu Jinliang as Gao He at a glance. There was nothing she could do about it because she had heard other people describe Gao He's height.
As she spoke, she glanced around again. She didn't believe that this guy would come alone to support her, as he had attracted the help of the masters of the Jihuo Sect.
Wu Jinliang bowed again to express his disrespect, and suddenly raised his eyes to the two waiters, pretending to be confused and asked: "Clan leader? Are you also from the Bai family?"
The two guys looked at each other in silence.
Grandma Qi smiled slightly, knowing that this would expose a loophole in Bai Qiru's expulsion from the Bai family. However, since she could come in person this time, she had already planned to make it clear.
She was really helpless. If she didn't run into him explicitly, she would not have run into him at all. She knew that this guy had gone up the sacred mountain. When she ran up the sacred mountain, this guy ran away again, not giving her any chance to prepare.
With her status, could she still go to Zhulang Pavilion and meet him by chance?
In addition, she heard that the three people to be sent away this time were the most critical figures, and they had provoked the Jihuo Sect. In order to ensure that nothing could go wrong, she went out personally.
It was not easy for her to get out of the sacred mountain this time. With her status and position, she actually mixed in with the Bai family. If she was discovered, it would be more embarrassing for her to be so secretive.
She looked at the two speechless guys and said with a chuckle, "I will give an explanation to Brother Gao."
He raised his eyes and looked at the approaching dust curtain, "I am afraid that the remnants of the Extreme Fire Sect are looking for us. We should not stay here for long. How about changing to another place?"
Wu Jinliang asked, "Is this the residual power of grandma's attack?"
Grandma Qi smiled bitterly and shook her head, "To be honest, I wanted to quietly wipe out the traces, but who knew that the other party had a fifth-grade magic weapon. It makes sense. The Jihuo Sect is the number one weapon refining sect in the demon world, so it's not surprising that there are precious treasures. Fortunately, I came here in person, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
A magic weapon that can break the fifth rank? Wu Jinliang was slightly surprised, but then he continued to flatter her, "Thank goodness it's a master like grandma who came to help. Thank goodness."
Grandma Qi waved her hand modestly again, "I can't say I'm an expert. If I were an expert, I wouldn't be unable to control my strength and cause such a big noise. It's just a joke. Let's not talk about it. Let's go to another place to talk."
Having said that, without waiting for anyone's agreement, he waved his sleeves and instantly wrapped up everyone present and disappeared. This opened the eyes of Wu Jinliang and others who were experiencing the celestial realm for the first time.
Shi Chun, who popped his head out to watch them leave, did not dare to stay here for long and left quickly and stealthily.
They flew across thousands of mountains and rivers, and who knows how far they had flown. Grandma Qi led the group to land on a mountaintop. A wave of magical power emanated from her body. After exploring the surroundings, she asked Wu Jinliang, "Can the others step aside?"
Wu Jinliang was secretly on guard, but he felt that it was useless to be on guard against such a master, so he immediately nodded to Chu Jingtang and others.
Chu Jingtang and the other two left the scene on their own accord, and the two waiters followed them immediately, not knowing whether they were avoiding them or staring at them.
There was no one on the top of the mountain. Grandma Qi, who had walked a few steps with a cane, sighed: "In fact, the story is simple. Before the Bai family's ancestor became rich, he was just a small demon who ran a rice shop in Dacheng. By chance, he met Huang Yingying's ancestor and followed and served him. Huang Yingying's ancestor was very remarkable. His name was Jin Zhan. You may have heard of him. He was the supreme demon in the world at that time. Thanks to his grace, the Bai family came into being.
However, things happen unexpectedly, and the devil is rampant. But a strong man like Jin Zhan would not surrender easily. In the end, he fought with the Demon Ancestor and was unfortunately defeated and died.
Without Jin Zhan, the Golden Rat Clan suffered from yet another misfortune. The Phoenix Clan, which they had oppressed as slaves, launched a rebellion, and with the help of external forces, they turned the tables in one fell swoop.
The Phoenix Clan originally wanted to exterminate the Golden-haired Rat Clan to prevent future troubles, but Bai's ancestor was quick to seize the opportunity and defected to the Phoenix Clan. In order to save the Golden-haired Rat Clan, he did not hesitate to offer the Phoenix Clan a bad plan, and to give the Phoenix Clan a taste of their own medicine in order to avenge himself.
The Phoenix Clan deeply believed this, which is why the Golden-haired Rat Clan became slaves in the sacred mountain forever.
Although the Golden Rat Clan was saved, the ancestors of the Bai family fell into deep self-blame when they saw the suffering of the descendants of the Jin War. Therefore, waiting for an opportunity to rescue the Golden Rat Clan became our ancestral precept, and only those who can uphold this ancestral precept can take over the position of clan leader. However, the Phoenix Clan has been enduring for a long time, and our Bai family has limited ability. We can only deal with the ups and downs of the years. Even if we can't save them, we must try our best to protect the Golden Rat Clan from being exterminated.
For this reason, my Bai family has tried every means to please the Feng family, generation after generation. In my case, I even went so far as to join the Feng family and become a nanny, which is why I got the nickname Grandma Qi.
Huang Yingying was freed by chance after saving someone from the Phoenix Clan. He was stranded in the Great City, bullied, and even faced life-threatening situations. It was not easy for a person to come out, and he was the hope for the Golden Rat Clan to continue living outside. How could he be allowed to die so easily? However, they wanted to protect him, but it was not easy to do so openly, for fear of arousing the suspicion of the Phoenix Clan and backfire. This is why Bai Qiru was expelled from home and married Huang Yingying because of his anger with his family. "
