Chapter 90 Going Home (please ask, monthly pass,
Bai Zhendong nodded gently: "The old man attaches great importance to Xiaoxiao's affairs. You also know that there are not many people as talented as Yuchen in the third generation!"
"So second brother, what do you mean is that Xiaoxiao's talent is comparable to that of the eldest brother's son Bai Yuchen?"
Bai Xia's bright eyes suddenly looked at Bai Xiao. Judging from what the second brother meant, it should be that's right.
Sure enough, Bai Zhendong nodded.
"Okay, Xiaoxiao, you are about to rise!" He patted Bai Xiao's shoulder vigorously, and Bai Xia, the sister-in-law, looked even more excited than the person involved.
Then she thought about something, and she suddenly frowned slightly and suddenly became silent.
In fact, she thought of a problem in her mind. It is said that there was a gap in the talent reserves of the Bai family. Although she is not a spirit controler, and because of her daughter, she is not sure what the specific situation is, but judging from the old man's eager recall of Bai Xiao this time, I'm afraid the matter is really serious.
The continuous inheritance of a family is not just about looking at the number of incense. The large number can only be said that this family can be born! Apart from this, it has no meaning!
What truly measures the potential and future prospects of a family depends on whether the family's tribe can produce some talented descendants.
In ancient times, it was fame and fortune! It depends on how many scholars, juren, even a few tribute students, and a few Jinshi, and how many people became high-ranking officials! In modern times, although there is no longer any imperial examination and Jinshi, the academic performance of children and the career and career of adults are still important criteria for measuring the prosperity of the family in addition to the number of people.
As a family of Yuling, the Bai family has played an important role in the Yuling Realm. So whether there are a few people who can carry the tripod among the offspring is the key to whether the family can continue to maintain this "leading momentum".
As far as Bai Xia knows, there are currently more than 1,000 people in the Bai family. To be precise, there are more than 1,360 people in the family surname recorded in the genealogy.
If these Bai surnames are divided according to generations, except for the older generation with a relatively small number, each generation will basically remain in the scale of 300 to 400 people; and by year, there are about twenty new Bai family children born every year.
Among these newborns, about a small number of them have the opportunity to become spirit controlers, and most of the others can only engage in other industries step by step, just like Bai Xia and Bai Xiao in the past, supplementing the various absents of the Bai family from other fields.
Of course, if we just look at the number of spirit controlers, the Bai family is definitely very prosperous. After all, the Bai family has only a thousand people. Including the elderly, weak, women, children, and foreign surnames, the total population is less than 3,000. There are as many as 100 to 200 spirit controlers. How can we not move people?!
But then again, the amount of quantity is not a decisive factor, and the quality is the most important. Just like ordinary spirit controlers such as Zhu Gewen, many of them will find it difficult to enter the realm of "half-step Yuantai" throughout their lives, let alone the Yuantai realm and the higher Mingzun realm.
Although this kind of spirit controler who finally stopped at Tongxuan Realm is also a rare talent, it is obviously only enough to protect the house in terms of martial arts.
As an old-fashioned spiritual family, what the Bai family really lacks is not the spiritual master in the Tongxuan realm, but a powerful man who can truly stand alone in the Yuantai realm or Mingzun realm!
That is where a family is confident!
But the problem lies in this. In recent decades, the Bai family has lagged behind in the number of outstanding spirit controlers, which has seriously dragged down the Bai family's savings in cutting-edge power, resulting in the Bai family's current status as the "five major spirit control families" has become slightly loose.
If the Bai family is expelled from the five major Yuling families one day, will the Bai family still have shame?
It is precisely because of the family's face that Bai Sihong and the family's elders, to Bai Zhenye, Bai Zhendong, and even some senior members of the family are worried about this.
Now Bai Xiao has shown talent that is similar to Bai Yuchen and even higher than Bai Yuchen. No wonder Bai Sihong was so anxious after learning the news and did not hesitate to change the idea that he had asked Bai Zhendong to stay in Binhe City to teach her... Maybe it was really because of the external situation.
The white Alpha was driving steadily. When Bai Xiao saw that his father and sister-in-law stopped talking, he could feel a dull aura in the air.
She took out her cell phone and compiled a text message for Lin Shan. She first thanked her for taking care of herself last night, and then shyly said something like hoping that she could forget her ugly appearance yesterday, followed by a "shy" expression.
Soon, Lin Shan returned the message, with a big smile with a grinning face, followed by the word "OK".
Seeing that she agreed, Bai Xiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then she sent a message to the class director and explained to her the request to go home for several days if she had something to do.
Bai Xiao’s class director is a female lecturer. She is in her early thirties and is easy to talk to. After Bai Xiao sent her the news, she quickly got her consent and asked Bai Xiao to pay attention to safety and other things on the way.
"By the way, Xiaoxiao, I forgot to tell you yesterday. In order to celebrate your deep love between father and daughter, I have specially prepared a gift for you..."
Looking at Bai Xiao who was playing with his phone, Bai Xia suddenly broke the silence and said with a smile.
"What gift?" Bai Xiao looked at her in surprise.
"Secret! In short, you will know when you come back from the capital!" Bai Xia narrowed her eyes cunningly and kept her in a silence.
Bai Xiao shrugged his shoulders speechlessly, and drifted over his eyes. He had to keep a gift in a silence, so he kept it mysterious... But he was vaguely looking forward to gifts.
Binhe City International Airport.
Under Bai Xia's farewell, Bai Xiao, Xiaoling and Bai Zhendong dragged their luggage to prepare before boarding, handled their boarding pass, security check, and then waited for the plane. At 11 o'clock, a large passenger plane flying from Binhe City to Beijing took off from the runway.
This is not the first time Bai Xiao took a plane, but it is obvious that Xiao Ling, who was sitting next to her, should be the first time. Before the plane took off, she looked at the plane engine outside the window, looking extremely excited. When the plane glided and raised, her face was solemn and bit her lip lightly. It was not until the plane flew again that she felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss, it turns out that this is how I feel when I take a plane..." The little girl began to be energetic again.
Bai Xiao smiled and recalled his feelings when he first took the plane. It wasn't the same as Xiaoling now. After that, their lunch was settled on the plane. At 1:00 pm, the plane landed smoothly at Beijing International Airport.
After a busy schedule, they passed the security check and walked through the passenger passage, and several people came out of the airport. Bai Zhendong waved his hand and stopped a taxi, reported a string of addresses, and the Beijing taxi driver with a strong Central Plains accent drove the car and took Bai Xiao and the others toward their destination.
When he returned to the capital this time, Bai Xiao and the others did not immediately go to Baixian Village where the Bai family base was located, but went back to Bai Zhendong's home in the capital first. Of course, it was also Bai Xiao's home.
