Chapter 2269: Chapter 2269: Martial Hidden Order
Inside a two-story building in the Bai Residence.
"Father, please give me a Wu Cang Token!" pleaded Bai Bingli’s voice.
She was speaking to a refined-looking middle-aged cultivator, who was her father and the Bai Family Patriarch.
"Bingli, tell me, what do you need the Wu Cang Token for?" Bai Wentai looked at his daughter Bai Bingli with gentle eyes.
"Father, don’t ask so many questions, just give me a Wu Cang Token, okay?" Bai Bingli clutched Bai Wentai’s arm, acting coquettishly.
"Even if you don’t say, I know why you want the Wu Cang Token."
"You brought back that summoned cultivator a few days ago, and now you want the Wu Cang Token for him, right?" Bai Wentai snorted lightly.
Bai Bingli indeed wanted the Wu Cang Token for Jing Yan.
Jing Yan said he wanted to cultivate soul arts, and there were a few soul techniques available within the Bai Family, but they were all stored in the Martial Storage Tower. Ordinary people couldn’t enter the Bai Family’s Martial Storage Tower, and even Bai Family members needed a Wu Cang Token to enter and cultivate skills.
When Bai Bingli saw her father guessed why she wanted the Wu Cang Token, she stopped hiding and said, "Father, that person is called Jing Yan. He is the first cultivator I summoned from the Nine Days of Immortal Domain. Uncle Hai said he’s very young and has great potential."
"Father, just give me the Wu Cang Token! Isn’t it often bestowed upon family members? I’m your daughter, what could anyone say if you give me one?" Bai Bingli continued to plead.
"Nonsense!"
"How precious is the Wu Cang Token? The Martial Storage Tower is the foundation of our Bai Family. How can we let just any outsider in to cultivate skills? As for bestowing the Wu Cang Token to family members, it is only given to those with great contributions." Bai Wentai deliberately pulled a stern face.
The Wu Cang Token is indeed quite precious. It represents an opportunity, a chance to enter the Martial Storage Tower. Generally, even for Bai Family members, such chances are hard to come by unless they’ve made great contributions or shown outstanding talent.
Jing Yan is a summonee, an outsider from the Nine Days of Immortal Domain. Even if he vowed to serve Bai Bingli, how many days has he been at the Bai Family?
If a Wu Cang Token is given to Jing Yan just because of Bai Bingli, it would certainly cause much secret dissent.
"Father, if you don’t give me the Wu Cang Token today, I’ll take Jing Yan elsewhere to look for soul arts. If there’s none in Bai City, then to other cities. Iron Bay surely has places to buy soul arts." Bai Bingli stubbornly held her chin up.
"You..." Bai Wentai glared angrily at his daughter Bai Bingli.
He truly couldn’t do anything about this daughter of his.
He had indeed spoiled this daughter a bit. As the patriarch of the Bai Family, he always commanded respect. But his daughter Bai Bingli wasn’t afraid of him at all. If he didn’t give Bai Bingli the Wu Cang Token today, she might indeed take Jing Yan to other cities to look for soul technique texts.
He couldn’t send people to block Bai Bingli forever, could he?
"Alright, alright, I’ll give you a Wu Cang Token. But let me make it clear, just this once and it won’t be repeated. If that Jing Yan needs cultivation resources, don’t come to me, nor can you go find Uncle Hai for resources." Bai Wentai compromised.
He doted on this daughter of his too much.
He had only two children, a son and a daughter.
"Thank you, Father, I knew you would agree. You’re the best father ever." Bai Bingli said with a laugh, reaching out her slender jade-like hand.
Bai Wentai rolled his eyes in exasperation, but in the end, he handed over a dark red token to Bai Bingli. This token, the Wu Cang Token, allowed one entry into the Martial Storage Tower.
"Father, I’m leaving now." Bai Bingli happily bade farewell to Bai Wentai upon receiving the Wu Cang Token.
"Sigh!" Bai Wentai shook his head.
"Father!" Not long after Bai Bingli left, another figure dressed in white walked in.
This person was Bai Bingli’s older brother, named Bai Zhu.
Bai Zhu was much older than Bai Bingli, but overall, he wasn’t very old. He was already at the Immortal Charm Peak Level, not far from the Immortal Venerable Realm. Moreover, he was also a soul cultivator with an extremely outstanding talent in soul cultivation. His most powerful soul techniques could instantly kill most cultivators in the Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm.
In Iron Bay, Bai Zhu was quite famous.
"Hmm." Bai Wentai acknowledged Bai Zhu with a nod as he came in.
"Father, this girl’s too reckless." Bai Zhu frowned and said.
He had been outside just now when Bai Bingli asked for the Wu Cang Token and heard the exchange between Bai Bingli and their father, Bai Wentai.
"How can a Wu Cang Token be casually given to a summoned outsider? Moreover, this summoned person has only been with the Bai Family a few days and hasn’t contributed anything."
"I heard this summoned person is at the Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm cultivation level. Bingli really shouldn’t have brought him out from the Summoning Divine Hall. The Nightmare Magic Cube is rare; we should use it to summon Immortal Venerable Realm cultivators from the Nine Days of Immortal Domain."
After entering, Bai Zhu made several remarks.
At the time, when father Bai Wentai entrusted the Nightmare Magic Cube to Bai Bingli, Bai Zhu had advised against it. The Nightmare Magic Cube was a thing of great significance, and it wasn’t easy for the Bai Family to get such a summoning opportunity, so it should have been used wisely. Yet, due to a father’s love for his daughter Bingli, it was given to her.
Bai Zhu also cared deeply for his sister Bai Bingli, having watched her grow up. Many times, he was the one by her side, shielding her from the storms. If anyone dared to bully Bai Bingli, Bai Zhu wouldn’t stand for it.
But fair is fair; his sister was too indulged. Resources like the Nightmare Magic Cube and Wu Cang Token were crucial to the family’s development and should be used with caution.
"I already know what you’ve said."
"Mu Hai had reported the matter to me earlier that day." Bai Wentai said with a slight frown.
"You only have one sister, so be more tolerant. Moreover, though Bingli is a bit capricious, she knows the importance of matters at hand. While the summoned Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm cultivator may be somewhat lacking in strength, it’s still acceptable. Summoning a cultivator from the Immortal Venerable Realm is too challenging." Bai Wentai continued.
"But, Father... are we really letting that summoned person enter the Martial Storage Tower? I heard he wants to cultivate soul arts, and we only have a few soul arts in the Bai Family. He’s not from the Nightmare Clan; he’s from the Nine Days of Immortal Domain. The chance he can cultivate soul arts is very low. If he fails, won’t it be a waste of the energy within the soul technique texts?" Bai Zhu said, distressed.
