On this day, although Bai Zhengqi's defeat caused a great sensation, he had become a loser after all, and he had not yet been recognized by the family leader.
So this incident was quickly forgotten after it happened. After all, the competition is still going on, and there are so many exciting duels later. Who will remember Bai Zhengqi?
However, what others didn't know was that just after the day's competition, Bai Zhengqi was invited to Yunshou Peak.
Bai Zhengqi was sitting alone in the small hall.
He knew that this was where the master of the house received guests privately, and not everyone could be received by the master of the house here. Only people with a certain status could do so.
While Bai Zhengqi was fidgeting in the small hall, a maid came in with tea.
"Mr. Bai, please have some tea!"
"Um... Excuse me, is it really the head of the family who is looking for me?" Bai Zhengqi felt a little flattered when the woman was so polite.
After all, he didn't think he was an honored guest. Being brought here alone, he couldn't help but feel very nervous at the thought of facing the head of the family.
"Only the master of the house can receive guests here, I think there is nothing wrong with that!" The slave thought for a while and said.
She was just a maid serving tea and water. How could she know this?
However, she knew that ordinary people were not qualified to come here. Unless the head of the house had guests, they would serve tea and water here.
So from this point of view alone, what she said is certainly correct.
After the maid went out, Bai Zhengqi carefully picked up the hot tea and smelled the faint green fragrance in it. His heart seemed to slowly calm down.
"This tea is so extraordinary!" Bai Zhengqi saw that the tea was so powerful just by smelling it, so he couldn't help but drink it out of curiosity, and immediately felt that he was much more relaxed.
After all, he is a monk in the early stage of Mahayana. If it is just ordinary tea, it will not have much effect on a person of his level.
But the effect of this tea is very fast. It can be seen that the tea here is not simple. It is worthy of being the place where the owner of the house receives distinguished guests.
At this moment, his heart suddenly became much calmer, and there was even a surge of blood in his body.
"It would be great if one day I could reach such a height like the head of the family!" Bai Zhengqi put down the tea and said softly.
"No one's success happens for no reason. If a person doesn't have confidence in himself, how can he succeed?" At this time, Cheng Yu walked out of the small hall.
"Bai Zhengqi has met the head of the family!" Seeing the head of the family appear, Bai Zhengqi quickly put down his tea cup, stood up and knelt down to salute the head of the family.
"Get up!" Cheng Yu sat down and said.
Seeing the head of the family, Bai Zhengqi's originally calm mood suddenly made him nervous again, and he sat there a little awkwardly.
"Are you afraid of me?" Cheng Yu saw the other person's embarrassment and asked.
"Master, I..."
But in Bai Zhengqi's mind, Cheng Yu is the god of the Cheng family, a man who combines all the glory into one body.
There is no one in the entire Cheng family who does not admire Cheng Yu, but it is precisely because Cheng Yu's image in his heart is too tall.
Therefore, Bai Zhengqi always felt that he was too humble in front of the head of the family.
More importantly, with everything that happened to Xiao Bishang during this period, he always felt that the head of the family seemed to be targeting him. He was inevitably worried about whether the head of the family had any objections to him, and he became even more nervous.
“A person should stick to his true intentions no matter what he does. As long as it’s not a bad thing, then what’s there to be afraid of?
The Cheng family suffered a great disaster, but I remember that you were more confident then than you are now.
Now that the Cheng family is far from what it used to be, why are you not as good as before? "Cheng Yu said.
"Master, I...I...I want to know why?"
Hearing Cheng Yu's words, Bai Zhengqi seemed to suddenly recall the scene when he met the Cheng family in the secular world, and was a little moved in his heart. He didn't expect that the head of the family still remembered this incident, so he felt guilty and took courage. said.
"What do you mean?" Cheng Yu smiled.
"Why didn't the head of the family give me a chance even though I won so many battles?" Bai Zhengqi finally asked the question he wanted to know most during this period.
At this time, he was both nervous and looking forward to it.
He didn't know what kind of answer the family leader would give him. After all, he still hoped in his heart that he could get guidance from the family leader.
If a person as high as the head of the family can get his guidance, his strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds, making him even more powerful.
"Didn't I already say it before the competition? I will choose disciples with good talent or great potential. So in the competition, winning or losing does not seem to be the reason why I choose them." Cheng Yu had a faint expression on his face smile.
"But being able to win all the time, isn't it also a sign of talent and potential? If the people chosen by the family head can't beat their opponents, how can they prove that they have more potential than their opponents?" Bai Zhengqi argued.
"Having talent and potential doesn't mean they are strong, it's just because they lack a chance to be discovered. That's why I picked them out and gave them a chance to develop their talents and unleash their potential!" Cheng Yu said matter-of-factly. .
"Does the head of the family mean that my talent and potential are not as good as theirs?" Bai Zhengqi said, completely unable to agree with the head of the family.
Even if what the head of the family said is right, at least he doesn't think that he has no talent. At least his talent is no worse than others!
Therefore, he is not convinced!
"What do you think?" Cheng Yu asked.
"I... although I dare not say that I am more talented and have greater potential than those chosen by the head of the family, but I will never admit that I am not as good as all of them!" Bai Zhengqi also risked his life.
Anyway, he has already had a showdown with the head of the family, so he has no way out. He might as well open the skylight and speak out and speak out what is in his heart.
"But what if I still don't want to choose you?" Cheng Yu asked with a smile.
"Master, is it really because of the matter between me and the eldest lady that the master is so prejudiced against me?" Bai Zhengqi felt that his courage was getting stronger. At this moment, he seemed to have nothing. Scared.
He just wants a reasonable explanation!
"Do you like the eldest lady very much?" Cheng Yu asked lightly.
"I... of course!" Bai Zhengqi was stunned and thought for a while, but he still said it with certainty.
"Do you think you are worthy of the eldest lady? You can't even win a small competition in the Cheng family. What qualifications do you think you have to be with the eldest lady?" Cheng Yu continued to ask.
"I know that my current strength is not enough to protect the eldest lady, but I have confidence in myself, and I will definitely become stronger." Bai Zhengqi said loudly.
"Why should I believe what you say? What's more, it's impossible for you to surpass the eldest lady in strength.
Because even I can't match her cultivation speed. Maybe it won't be long before her strength surpasses mine. How many years do you think it will take for you to be qualified to protect her? "Cheng Yu looked at Bai Zhengqi and said.
He really wasn't deceiving Bai Zhengqi by saying this. Coco was a Yuanling Dan body, and no one else could copy the way that Coco could improve his strength.
So even he can't really practice faster than Coco.
Think about it, Coco's cultivation speed is much shorter than him, but what? In just so many years, Coco's strength has become second only to him in the entire Cheng family.
He wasn't sure how long it would take before Keke might really surpass his strength.
And he believed that the only way his strength would not be surpassed by Coco was if he found a way to awaken the blood of the Saints.
However, if he fails to find a way to awaken, Coco will be stronger than him sooner or later!
"This... how is this possible! How can the eldest lady be stronger than the head of the family?" Bai Zhengqi was shocked. He felt that this was simply impossible.
"So you are not worthy of the eldest lady at all. She is much more powerful than you think. I advise you to give up on this idea!"
As long as you are willing to no longer be with the eldest lady, then I can put you on the list and get my personal guidance! "Cheng Yu said.
"This is impossible, I am sincere to the eldest lady. Even if it is as the head of the family said, the eldest lady is very powerful, so powerful that I will never be able to catch up with the eldest lady's strength, I will still protect her with my life!
If I want to use my relationship with the eldest lady to gain my achievements, then I would rather not. "Bai Zhengqi decisively rejected Cheng Yu.
"Are you sure you have feelings for the eldest lady?" Cheng Yu asked.
"certainly!"
"Are you even willing to die for her?" Cheng Yu asked again.
"I do!" Bai Zhengqi, perhaps not wanting to be looked down upon by Cheng Yu, took a few steps forward and said firmly.
"Okay, I'll make it happen for you!" Cheng Yu said.
"Master...you agreed?" Bai Zhengqi asked in disbelief.
"I mean, I will help you and let you die for the eldest lady now!" Cheng Yu said lightly.
"This..." Bai Zhengqi was stunned. He didn't expect that the head of the family actually meant this.
"I will give you another chance now. If you walk out of this door now, I will let you go. If you insist, then I can only help you!" Cheng Yu's voice was a little cold, and even the whole small hall It felt like a layer of frost had fallen inside, making people a little breathless.
"I...I...I won't leave until I die!" Bai Zhengqi didn't expect that the head of the family seemed to be serious, but he still didn't want to leave.
If he really leaves at this time, then it is really impossible for him to be with the eldest lady!
