"It was an oversight on my part that this happened. Fortunately, Mr. Bai discovered it in time, otherwise it would have been very difficult for the Demon Sect to develop outside the city.
Lord Bai, don't worry, I will order some martial arts masters from the Xicheng Army to be mobilized by your Lordship. "Xiao Wenchen said with a solemn look on his face.
"That's how I thank you, Mr. Xiao." Bai Xiuqi cupped his hands and said.
"Mr. Bai, you're welcome. This is what I should do." Xiao Wenchen returned the greeting.
"By the way, I heard that Mr. Xiao's niece Xiao Qing had dealt with people from the Netherworld Sect a few years ago and is familiar with the devil's way of doing things. Do you think you can lend Miss Xiao Qing to me temporarily?" Bai Xiu Qi seemed to have just suddenly remembered Xiao Qing and added.
The expression on Xiao Wenchen's face froze slightly, then returned to normal, and said: "Since Lord Bai needs it, I will order someone to call Xiao Qing."
As soon as Xiao Wenchen finished speaking, Xiao Liu appeared at the door with an angry face. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Bai Xiuqi was there, his face changed slightly, and he quickly retracted his raised foot.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Bai Xiuqi seems to be a righteous man with a moral integrity. Some evil monsters in the city are causing trouble, and they all rely on him and his men to deal with them.
But the children of big families like Xiao Liu knew very well that this old guy was a big pervert. She even suspected that he was in his early forties even though he was in his sixties. In all likelihood, he was a student. He learned the Taoist technique of collecting yin and replenishing yang in the room.
Therefore, Xiao Liu was naturally afraid of such a person.
"Xiao Liu, why don't you meet Master Bai soon!" Xiao Wenchen saw that his daughter had already appeared at the door and hurriedly tried to dodge. He was afraid that Bai Xiuqi would be surprised, so he hurriedly shouted.
"It turns out to be Master Bai. Xiao Liu has met Master Bai!" Xiao Liu had no choice but to go in and bow to Bai Xiuqi.
"As expected, she is a tiger father and a dogless daughter. She is already a Ningjin martial artist at a young age. Not bad, not bad!" Bai Xiuqi stroked his beard and smiled, looking like an elder without darting his eyes.
Compared with Xiao Qing, Xiao Liu's style is still a lot worse, and Bai Xiuqi also knows that Xiao Liu is a powerful martial artist and Xiao Wenchen's daughter. Even if he likes her, Xiao Wenchen can't give her daughter to him as a waiter. concubine.
Xiao Qing, on the other hand, is already a ruined genius and the legitimate daughter of the weakest member of the fourth family. Bai Xiuqi thought that as long as he revealed his meaning more clearly, the Xiao family would not reject him given the current situation. .
Bai Xiuqi felt a little excited when he thought that a proud woman like Xiao Qing, who was once so high above the world, was now whining and begging for pleasure under her body.
"Thank you, Mr. Bai!" Xiao Wenchen said modestly after taking the words, and then said to Xiao Liu: "You came just in time. Mr. Bai wants to second Xiao Qing to help him investigate the case, so go and call Xiao Qing."
When Xiao Liu heard this, he couldn't help showing a look of relief and gloating, and he quickly said happily: "Okay, father, I'll call Xiao Qing over right now."
After saying that, Xiao Liu bowed slightly to Bai Xiuqi and said goodbye, then turned and left.
Seeing Xiao Liu turn around and leave, Bai Xiuqi picked up the tea cup, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes fell on Xiao Liu's swaying hips through the slits of his eyes.
"This old pervert!" A flash of anger flashed deep in Xiao Wenchen's eyes, but he pretended not to notice anything with a faint smile on his face.
Xiao Liu soon arrived at Qingzhu Xiaolou.
At this time, Xiao Qing had returned and was spreading fish food into the pond in the corridor, but she was thinking about how to show off with her uncle and other core family members in order to gain maximum power and benefits.
In the past, Xiao Qing was devoted to her family and had no ambitions for power and interests. However, after these seven years, she has already seen clearly the warmth and coldness of human relationships. Especially the recent events have completely chilled her. Heart.
Therefore, this time, she must fight for the maximum power and interests, even if it is not for herself, she must do it for Brother Qin.
Although her eldest brother Qin did not ask for anything in return from her, it was precisely because of this that Xiao Qing had to strive for the greatest power, because only with strong power could she repay her eldest brother Qin to the maximum extent.
"Xiao Qing, my father wants you to go to the family living room. Mr. Bai Xiuqi Bai specially called your name and asked you to help him investigate a case." Xiao Liu looked at Xiao Qing and said with a look of gloating.
"Tell uncle and Master Bai that I have been ill recently and need to rest, so I won't go." Xiao Qing replied lightly, then turned her head and continued to scatter fish food into the pond.
"I'm afraid it's not up to you, right?" Xiao Liu saw Xiao Qing's attitude of not taking her seriously, and couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said angrily.
She is about the same age as Xiao Qing, but since childhood, her light has been completely eclipsed by Xiao Qing. Not only did her grandfather only have eyes for Xiao Qing, but her father also treasured Xiao Qing and gave her any good things and resources, as if Xiao Qing was the eldest granddaughter of the Xiao family.
Therefore, Xiao Liu has always been jealous and can even be said to hate Xiao Qing.
"I'm not on duty at the Yamen, so why can't you help me? Okay, I'm tired, I'm going back to my room to rest." Xiao Qing said coldly, got up and walked to the building.
"Hmph, let's see how long you can still show off your pride!" Xiao Liu's face darkened when he saw this, and he turned and left.
In the living room, Xiao Wenchen saw that only his daughter had returned, and something was obviously wrong with his expression. He couldn't help but change his face slightly and said, "Where is Xiao Qing?"
When saying this, Xiao Wenchen specially winked at his daughter.
However, Xiao Liu seemed not to have seen the look Xiao Wenchen sent him, and replied: "Xiao Qing said that she is ill and cannot help Mr. Bai investigate the case."
When Bai Xiuqi heard this, his expression suddenly dropped, and he stood up and said, "In that case, Mr. Xiao, I will take my leave first!"
Seeing that Bai Xiuqi was annoyed, Xiao Wenchen did not bother to blame his daughter, but quickly stood up and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Bai, I will go see Xiao Qing later, and I will definitely ask her to report to you tomorrow morning."
"It depends on Miss Xiao Qing's physical condition. If you are really uncomfortable, there is no need to force it." Bai Xiu said with a smile, then waved his sleeves and walked away.
"This old man, if my Xiao family hadn't declined now, how would he dare to show off to me like this!" After Xiao Wenchen sent Bai Xiuqi away, he couldn't help but turn blue with anger when he thought of his flamboyant attitude just now.
Back then, the head of the Xiao family was a master of bone refining and in charge of the army. Even though Bai Xiuqi was Si Tian's supervisor, he would never dare to put on airs in front of the head of the Xiao family!
"It's not because Xiao Qing thinks he's noble and doesn't know how to appreciate others!" Xiao Liu pouted.
"Shut up! Didn't you see me winking at you just now? Won't you say that Xiao Qing is not here? Don't think that I don't know your little thoughts!" It was a good thing that Xiao Liu didn't interrupt. This interruption made Xiao Wenchen angrier.
"Father, my daughter clearly didn't notice just now! Moreover, this matter is still Xiao Qing's problem in the end. Why do you blame me instead?" Seeing Xiao Wenchen reprimanding herself, Xiao Liu immediately said with a slightly red eyelid, looking aggrieved.
"My father knows that you have loved to compete with Xiao Qing since you were a child, but now you are also a powerful martial artist. As for Xiao Qing, she fell into an iron warrior and was forced to be sent out for the sake of the family.
What else do you have to argue with her now? It's better to be more open-minded. "After all, she is her own daughter. Seeing Xiao Liu's aggrieved look, Xiao Wenchen couldn't help but soften his heart and sighed.
"I know, but Xiao Qing is so proud! Does she think she is still the Xiao Qing she was seven years ago? Does the entire family want to revolve around her?
She is just a martial artist now. If she didn't have a family to support her, would she be able to make her business so big? Can she still be safe and sound after all these years?
But she thought that all this was due to her ability. Today I was going to take over the property under her name, but as a result, I ran into obstacles everywhere, and she even gave me a look in public!
Father, please tell me, you are the head of the family now, and I am your eldest daughter, the eldest daughter of the family, and I am also a powerful martial artist. According to family rules, is she considered guilty of the following? "The more Xiao Liu said, the more confident he became.
"After all, you are peers, and Xiao Qing's situation is also special. Well, don't rush to take over the property under her name to avoid conflicts. I will go to Qingzhu Xiaolou in person now, and I will personally follow up on these matters She said that." Xiao Wenchen said.
After saying that, Xiao Wenchen turned around and went to Qingzhu Xiaolou.
