Chapter 379 Help
To be on the safe side, Bai Sihong contacted Xiaoling again and got confirmation from her.
The reason why I did not contact Bai Xiao directly but indirectly confirmed through Xiao Ling was that Xiao Ling acted as the "eye and ear" and it was a bit unfavorable to say it, and I was worried that my granddaughter would have an opinion on Xiao Ling.
Although Bai Xiao is actually aware of this matter - Xiao Ling's secret "report" behavior has not been once or twice. No matter what happened to her, Xiao Ling's "loyalty" will report it to Bai Sihong as soon as possible. This is a public thing in itself, and Bai Xiao doesn't care much about it.
But after all, acting as an "eye" still makes people feel a little bit of a double-faced. Bai Sihong naturally doesn't want Xiaoling to be difficult to do. Grandpa and grandson also have to be decent, which is like some things I know you did, and you also know I know you did this, but if they don't expose each other, they will maintain each other's face.
After hanging up the phone, Bai Sihong looked silent. Bai Sijin, who was familiar with his elder brother, knew that his elder brother was not calm.
"A Jin, it seems that Xiaoxiao's performance exceeded our expectations." After a long time, Bai Sihong sighed.
Bai Sijin nodded: "Maybe, this is just accumulating strength."
Bai Sihong glanced at him, didn't say anything, and turned into deep thought.
He doubted whether Bai Xiao's change would be related to her "adventure". After all, not many people knew about Bai Xiao's gender change because of a pocket watch. Even his younger brother, Bai Sihong, had concealed it. The weight of this adventure is a bit heavy!
At this time, Bai Sijin said: "Little Ling said that a man appeared beside Xiaoxiao, Mu Tianchen, who was Xiaoxiao's former classmate?"
Bai Sihong nodded: "The background of this Mu Tianchen is not simple, it comes from Beichen Palace."
Bai Sijin took a breath, "Beichen Palace?"
"Yes."
"No wonder, no wonder he has the strength of the Yuantai realm at a young age. According to Xiaoling, even she is not the opponent of the other party." As he said that, Bai Sijin said vigilantly, "What is the special purpose of that Mu Tianchen approaching Xiaoxiao?"
Bai Sihong shook his head: "There must be a purpose. After all, the signs of deliberate appearance are too strong, but there is no question of any malice. It should be because of Xiaoxiao's aunt."
"Speaking of this, what is Xiaoxiao's aunt named Shen Xiya, and what status does she have in Beichen Palace?" Bai Sijin looked confused.
"I don't know. We used to have less contact with her. Now, we have always ignored this big shot!"
Looking at Bai Sijin's slightly worried expression, Bai Sihong smiled and said, "But you don't have to worry too much. At present, Xiaoxiao's aunt will not be detrimental to her. On the contrary, with this kind of reliance, it is even more guaranteed for Xiaoxiao."
"That's right." Bai Sijin thought for a moment and nodded. After all, he was a close aunt. Judging from the various situations reported by Xiao Ling, this aunt is protecting Bai Xiao. As Bai Sihong said, this is a guarantee.
As Bai Xiao gradually emerged, Bai Xiao's status within the Bai family was also increasing. Establishing her as the "girlfriend" was the formal recognition of her by the family. But what followed was all kinds of disputes.
Of course, no matter how big the dispute is, Bai Sijin is not worried that someone in the Bai family will be detrimental to her. On the one hand, the Bai family's unity work is still good, and there are not so many things to do; on the other hand, with him and his elder brother, it is still not a problem to protect Bai Xiao. In addition, several old people in the Zong Lao meeting had a good impression of Bai Xiao, and would stand on Bai Xiao's side at the critical moment.
Now that Bai Xiao has broken through to the Yuantai realm again, and his personal voice is increasing, so there is no need to worry about internal problems. Among the younger generation, no one can challenge her. She has the absolute strength to be a "girl" and all kinds of criticisms will naturally disappear.
What Bai Sijin was worried about was the struggle between the family. After all, the identity of the eldest lady of the Bai family was equivalent to being pushed to the public. While enjoying the treatment, she also took on the responsibility of the family.
As a woman, there are too many ways to interfere with her. As Bai Sijin knows, as Bai Xiao's existence is exposed, several families in the Spirit Realm have expressed their ideas of marriage to the Bai family.
These families include the Yan family, which is as famous as the Bai family, and some large families with status that are not as good as the Bai family. Their intentions are self-evident, either with the idea of poaching or with the intention of establishing a relationship with the Bai family.
Of course, considering the importance of Bai Xiao to the family, their ideas were destined to fail. Without even Bai Sihong's authority as the head of the family, several Zong Lao Laos directly rejected the wish for marriage proposed by each family at the meeting.
All the elders of the clan are talented. Other girls in the family may consider marrying while respecting the wishes of the parties involved, but what is that going to be a marriage for the young lady with great potential? The Bai family was already embarrassed that there were enough people among the successors who could stand alone. After finally looking forward to a person like Bai Xiao, then marrying her out, wouldn’t it be a matter of self-destruction of the Great Wall?
So from a rational point of view, Bai Xiao will never be used for marriage, and the Bai family is unwilling to bear such losses at all.
But what if the party who proposed the marriage was a family that was stronger than the Bai family?
If the other party can't afford to offend the Bai family, will Bai Xiao be sacrificed at this time?
Of course, the Bai family is not short of bones, but when faced with such a big thing, there will definitely be some noise inside. Maybe someone will advocate sacrifice of Bai Xiao for the sake of the overall interests of the Bai family. The absolute rational one is not emotional. What choice will Bai Sihong, as the head of the family, make then?
Bai Sijin dared not think about it. Even if the elder brother withstood the pressure, it might not be a good thing for the Bai family. It is hard to say whether the elder brother can still hold the position of the head of the family.
Of course, the premise of all this is based on someone who wants to break up with the Bai family, which is a low-probability event in itself.
Unless the entire Spirit Realm undergoes fundamental changes, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a worry.
But no matter how small the probability is, it is worrying.
It's different now. Bai Xiao unknowingly became involved with Beichen Palace. Her aunt seemed to have a very strong position in Beichen Palace.
You must know that it is Beichen Palace, which is enough to intimidate the entire spiritual world!
After getting in touch with the middle and senior management of Beichen Palace, Bai Xiao added a talisman. At least those who know the name of Beichen Palace dare not take her into easy thinking. The right to speak is ultimately based on strength.
"Look, it was really wise to arrange Xiaoling to Xiaoxiao. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have known these things." Bai Sihong said with a smile. At that time, there were oppositions in the clan. He felt that it was a bit useless. Xiaoling should be trained into a future Zong Lao, rather than a "follower" of one person. It was Bai Sihong who asked Xiaoling for his own ideas in front of all Zong Laos.
Bai Sijin was speechless, but she also agreed with her elder brother's words.
Although Xiaoxiao is the third-generation direct descendant of the Bai family, it has to be said that when he grows up, he still has many of his own ideas. When encountering some secret things, he also thinks about them and has his own opinions, rather than reporting everything to the family. For example, today's affairs, if it weren't for Xiaoling, he and his elder brother would have been kept in the dark.
"Okay, Xiaoxiao's breakthrough is always a good thing. Our Bai family also needs to make some changes in the future plan." As he said that, he looked at Bai Sijin, Bai Sihong rubbed his thumb and rubbed the handle of the crutch and said, "...Call the elders of the Zong to come for a meeting, let's announce the news of Xiaoxiao's breakthrough."
"Okay, I'll inform you now." Bai Sijin nodded and replied. He was the equivalent of a "conference convener" within the Bai family, responsible for some fragmentary affairs within the family.
"By the way, let's ask someone to inquire about Mu Tianchen's situation and see his intention to approach Xiaoxiao." Bai Sihong said immediately.
"Then Chen Xiya..."
"Don't involve her for the time being." Bai Sihong raised his eyebrows, and a glimmer flashed in his deep eyes. "After all, he is from Beichen Palace. If you can do it, don't provoke it. I will personally understand Lao Shen, although I guess that old guy won't know much. But it's still necessary to inquire about it."
"Well, I'll make arrangements now."
After Bai Sijin left, Bai Sihong stood there, looking at the clear sky in the distance, feeling that the weather was getting more pleasant.
He put away the hiking pole in his hand and carried it in his hand. While walking into the ancestral hall, Bai Sihong found Bai Zhendong's number from his mobile phone and dialed it out.
Although Bai Xiao's temperament is relatively restrained and doesn't like to promote it everywhere whenever he achieves a little, he will still take the initiative to inform his closest relatives.
After all, the grandfather and grandson are separated by a father, and the grandfather is the head of the Bai family, so he can be regarded as "very powerful", so the only person Bai Xiao can share his achievements is her father Bai Zhendong.
After transforming, the relationship between father and daughter has improved significantly. In addition, they inherited a lot of property from their father, and their relationship has become closer. I don’t know if Bai Xiao was bribed by money or if he really realized his father’s care for her. In short, the relationship between father and daughter is no longer as stiff as before.
Bai Sihong called to find out that Bai Zhendong had not obtained the news that Bai Xiao had made a breakthrough. If he didn't know, he had to tell him the news and make him happy.
...
Bai Zhendong naturally knew that just before receiving the call from his father, he had just answered Bai Xiao's call. During the call, Bai Xiao briefly told the fact that he had made a breakthrough. Although his tone was quite plain, as if there was no psychological fluctuation, Bai Zhendong, as his father, still heard some arrogant meaning from it.
Isn't this girl calling this to show her achievements, but she pretends to be indifferent. For some reason, Bai Zhendong's ex-wife Chen Xiyan appeared in his mind, and the mother and daughter seemed to be somewhat similar in personality.
He shook his head and sighed softly. Bai Zhendong was as if he was impressed by the fire. He naturally praised Bai Xiao via phone. Of course, he was also sighing in his heart that his daughter's progress was indeed beyond his expectations.
Bai Xiao was relieved when he hung up the phone. Bai Zhendong soon received a call from Bai Sihong.
After hanging up the phone, Bai Zhendong received several calls in a row, all of whom expressed his congratulations.
Bai Zhendong thought his daughter was going to get married.
