Bai Yu grinned, thinking to himself that Lingling's grandfather really hated his martial soul. Even if he didn't know what lay ahead, he still wanted to try.
That's pretty ruthless, wow, five Soul Douluos? To be honest, Bai Yu would rather fight a Titled Douluo than provoke five Soul Douluos.
His ultimate move consumes too much energy. If he doesn't kill everyone before his soul power is exhausted, he'll have no choice but to run away through a dog hole!
If others were to desperately try to stop him, wouldn't he be left only to pay homage to An Lan? Should he shout to the heavens, "Silver Dragon King, save me?"
Thinking of this, Bai Yu shuddered slightly and suddenly didn't want to go to the Ye family anymore.
Seeing Bai Yu's appearance, Ye Lingling narrowed her eyes and let out a silvery laugh.
"Hehe, Bai Yu, you're not really scared, are you?"
Ye Lingling's teasing made Bai Yu straighten his expression, cough lightly, and think to himself, "This girl has a diary copy now, and she's even more confident than me. She's almost out of the self-isolation zone!"
"Hey, what's there to be afraid of? If I can't beat them, I can't just run away. Besides, I'm not going to fight. The problem will be solved soon!"
"But speaking of which, you've just revealed all your family's backup plans like that? Aren't you afraid I might have ulterior motives?"
Upon hearing Bai Yu's question, Ye Lingling blinked and thought to herself, "Oh no!"
The fact that her martial soul problem could be solved made her so excited that she even revealed her cunning side. Now that she's been caught red-handed, what should she do?
"Well... aren't you Yanyan's boyfriend? And I'm Yanyan's best friend. If you even scheme against me, how can you face Yanyan!"
"And it's also to tell you that if you're not confident, don't go. I don't want Yanyan to break off our friendship."
Ye Lingling's explanation made Bai Yu raise an eyebrow and smile slightly. He hadn't realized that this introverted girl was quite interesting after leaving her shell!
(TL: I slightly changed the text, mc keeps calling her autistic but it's the wrong word, shes introverted not autistic. Im not usually too sensitive of people saying autistic or retarded but its clearly used wrongly here….)
"Tsk, you have a point. Let's go then. Take me to the Ye family and resolve this matter as soon as possible, so your family won't have to live in fear."
Ye Lingling nodded excitedly and followed Bai Yu out.
She didn't expect him to go to the Ye family so soon. It seems that he definitely found the Silver Dragon King this morning!
"Thank you, Bai Yu. I originally thought this was the fate of our Ye family, unchangeable. You have given me new hope!"
Bai Yu turned her head, looked at Ye Lingling whose eyes were shining, waved to her, and said with a smile:
"Just like you said, for Yanyan's sake, I have to help you if I can. But your family's situation is just a transaction, so you don't need to thank me."
Bai Yu's answer brought a smile to Ye Lingling's face behind her veil. Hearing him mention the Ye family reminded her of something.
"By the way, Bai Yu, my mother was supposed to come with me, since I asked you for help, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to come alone."
"But I turned her away. I was afraid she wouldn't trust you and would question you, which would make you resentful."
"That's why I didn't let her come. I hope you don't mind!"
Seeing Ye Lingling's somewhat flustered appearance, Bai Yu smiled and said casually:
"It's alright, I'm not one to care about appearances. And Lingling, you still don't understand the meaning of the title 'Patriarch'!"
"You should know that people who can become the heads of large families are not all perfect in every way, but they are all pretty good."
"Since your mother was able to become the acting head of the Ye family, it proves that she has the ability."
"So no matter what she says about me behind my back, she'll always have a beaming smile on her face when she's with me, believe it or not?"
Ye Lingling blinked in surprise, and after thinking about it for a moment, it seemed that it really was true.
Just as Bai Yu said, no matter how much her mother gossiped behind her back, when she met that person again, she could chat with him like a friend for a long time without showing any impatience!
(TL: no no I think that's just her talent as a woman in general, not as a family head)
The two chatted and laughed all the way to a large mansion.
As Ye Lingling stepped forward and knocked on the door, a beautiful woman in her thirties wearing a black dress appeared and led the two inside.
This residence is not the Ye family's property, but rather a property of the Ye family in Tiandou City, and also the place where the main branch of the Ye family conducts its daily activities.
"Hehe, this must be Young Master Bai. No wonder my Lingling can't forget him. He is indeed handsome and a man of great talent!"
The beautiful woman in the black dress glanced at Bai Yu and chuckled softly, covering her mouth as she looked at him.
Bai Yu looked a little embarrassed. He hadn't expected that Ye Lingling's mother had such a devilish air about her. It seemed that Ye Lingling's cunning nature was something she had learned from her mother!
(TL: where tf is Lingling cunning? lol)
"Patriarch Ye is joking. Lingling is my friend. I also need to solve the martial soul problem for the Ye family. It's normal that she mentioned me a few more times."
Ye Lingling's eyes also flashed with embarrassment and annoyance. She tugged at her mother's arm, thinking to herself that she couldn't keep this mother anymore, as she was always so unreliable!
"Mom, what are you saying? What do you mean by 'still thinking about'?"
The beautiful woman in the black dress pushed Ye Lingling's hand away, completely ignoring her daughter, and continued speaking to Bai Yu:
"Don't call me Patriarch Ye anymore. My name is Ye Qingyin. Since you're Lingling's friend, you can call me Aunt Ye."
"Otherwise, always addressing me as Patriarch Ye would seem too distant!"
Bai Yu's lips twitched slightly. These people are so cunning and difficult to deal with!
After Lingling's grandfather approved the task of getting him to handle the Ye family's martial spirit inheritance, she immediately tried to build a closer relationship with him and make sure he would do his best!
Okay, okay, so this is how you play it? In that case, I'll... accept it!
"Very well, since Aunt Ye has said so, I shall respectfully comply."
Ye Qingyin chuckled and said with narrowed eyes:
"That's more like it. Aunt Ye's voice is so lovely. As for Patriarch Ye... it always makes me feel like an old lady."
"By the way, I still don't know which family Young Master Bai is from? I heard from Lingling that you are only seventeen years old, but your cultivation has already reached the Soul Saint level. It's truly astonishing!"
Upon hearing Ye Qingyin's question, Bai Yu chuckled and shook his head, saying:
"Let's talk about that later. I'm helping the Ye family resolve their martial soul inheritance issues, but I also have a request. When we discuss the terms later, Aunt Ye will naturally know where I come from!"
Bai Yu's words made Ye Qingyin's eyes gleam. She didn't pay attention to the words "having a need," because it would be abnormal if there were no needs.
What she was concerned about was that Bai Yu was so confident in negotiating terms, without even considering the possibility of failure. Did that mean he was absolutely certain of success?
"Hehe, now that you say so, Young Master Bai, I'm even more curious. But it won't make a difference if I wait a little longer."
"The rooms we've prepared are just ahead. If you need anything else, please let us know in advance, Young Master Bai."
Bai Yu waved his hand and shook his head, saying:
"Aunt Ye, there's no need to trouble yourself. I've already prepared everything that needs to be prepared. If the terms are agreed upon, we can start working on the Martial Soul issue immediately."
As soon as Bai Yu finished speaking, Ye Qingyin walked in front of him and bowed to him.
"Ye Qingyin, on behalf of the Ye family, thanks Young Master Bai for his great kindness. If you can truly change the Ye family's martial spirit inheritance, we will do everything we can to help you in the future!"
