Seeing this, Bai Yu was stunned. He didn't expect Ye Qingyin to pull this trick on him.
He quickly helped her up and said to her:
"Aunt Ye, you don't need to be so polite. We're just getting what we need. You're making this harder than it needs to be!"
"Also, just like Aunt Ye said, 'Young Master Bai' doesn't sound very friendly. My name is Bai Yu, so Aunt Ye can just call me by my name."
As Bai Yu spoke, he sighed inwardly, realizing that it wasn't just Lingling's grandfather who was heartbroken.
Ye Lingling's father's death was a huge blow to Ye Qingyin!
Then he thought of his cheap father-in-law and mentally complained about Ning Fengzhi.
"Look at them, that's the attitude you should have when asking for help to solve a problem. And look at you, Ning Fengzhi? Sect Master? Bah! You're just a pure capitalist!"
However, this was just Bai Yu wanting to complain. The two families were in completely different situations. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was only limited in level, but the people there were still alive and well.
While pursuing the evolution of one's martial soul, it's not worth sacrificing everything.
The Ye family was rife with deaths, and the dead were all close relatives, which was hard to accept!
Ye Qingyin, unaware that Bai Yu had already gone off into the distance, covered her mouth and chuckled softly upon hearing his words.
"Hehe, since you've put it that way, then Auntie won't stand on ceremony with you. Your name is Bai Yu, so I'll call you Xiao Yu."
Bai Yu, who was mocking his father-in-law, suddenly felt a jolt when he heard Ye Qingyin call him Xiao Yu, and his eyes instantly cleared up!
"No, no, don't call me that. Aunt Ye, if you call me Xiao Bai, that's... never mind, let's just call me Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu is fine too!"
Bai Yu didn't want Ye Qingyin to call him Xiao Yu. He had a kind of stress reaction when he heard the name, and it reminded him of his teacher, Bibi Dong.
But Xiao Bai… that's even worse! If we call Xiao Bai, wouldn't that mean sitting at the same table as Dai Mubai and a dog? That won't do!
Seeing Bai Yu's incoherent speech, Ye Qingyin and Ye Lingling blinked in unison, looking at him strangely.
Is there some story behind the name "Xiao Yu"?
The two looked at each other with such curiosity that Bai Yu felt a little helpless. He quickly waved his hand and changed the subject.
"Ahem, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's go inside quickly and settle the terms so we can resolve the issue of your family's martial spirit inheritance!"
After hearing his explanation, the mother and daughter looked even more inquisitive, but now was definitely not the time to discuss this matter.
"Xiao Yu, you're right. Let's go in. Lingling's grandfather is inside."
Then Bai Yu and Ye Lingling followed Ye Qingyin inside.
"Master, Young Master Bai has arrived."
"Xiao Yu, these two are Ye Shan, the head of my Ye family, and Liu Yuan, the chief retainer."
Upon entering, Bai Yu saw two elderly people sitting inside. After hearing Ye Qingyin's address and introduction, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
"This humble one, Bai Yu, greets Elder Ye and Senior Liu Yuan!"
As he clasped his hands in a respectful greeting, he thought to himself:
"This Aunt Ye actually calls Ye Shan 'Head of the Family' instead of 'Father'? It seems that because her husband died, she has also taken a grudge against Ye Shan!"
Ye Shan, with his full head of white hair, looked sad upon hearing Ye Qingyin's address and let out a barely perceptible sigh.
He then turned his gaze to Bai Yu and said in a slightly hoarse voice:
"Young Master Bai, please don't stand on ceremony. Please have a seat! I apologize for not being able to greet you from afar."
Bai Yu chuckled, walked to the other side and sat down, waving to Ye Shan as she said:
"Elder Ye, what are you saying? Lingling and I are friends. If you really come out to greet me, that would be too much of a burden for this junior."
Bai Yu's words brought a smile to Ye Shan's face.
"Haha, Young Master Bai is so accomplished at such a young age. It's truly a blessing for Lingling to have a friend like you!"
"Since that's the case, then I won't waste any more words. Young Master Bai, please state your conditions. As long as it doesn't endanger the Ye family's survival, then everything is negotiable!"
When Bai Yu saw the old patriarch Ye, he went straight to the point, and surprise appeared in his eyes.
"Elder Ye is indeed a man of few words. However, I am curious, won't you ask me how confident I am of my chances of success?"
Upon hearing Bai Yu's question, Ye Shan shook his head, his face showing sadness and hatred.
"There's no need to ask. Asking will only make you uneasy. Whether it's 1% or 100%, it doesn't matter. Since we've already made up our minds, there's no reason to go back on our word!"
Ye Shan's words made Bai Yu nod in agreement. He was right. Since they had decided to take the plunge, they shouldn't hesitate and should just charge forward. The old man was very open-minded!
"Alright! Since Patriarch Ye is so magnanimous, then I'll get straight to the point. I only have one condition: after the problem is resolved, the entire Ye family must join my forces!"
Upon hearing Bai Yu's conditions, Yeshan nodded immediately.
"Alright, on behalf of the Ye family, I agree!"
"Patriarch! This...?"
Just as Liu Yuan was about to speak, Ye Shan raised his hand to stop him and turned to say:
"Brother, don't worry. As the saying goes, you can't raise a dragon in a shallow pool, and you can't find a giant beast in a small mountain. Some things can't be determined by talent alone."
"The number of forces capable of cultivating young talents like Young Master Bai on the entire continent, including overseas, cannot exceed five!"
Bai Yu raised his hand and scratched the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself that this old man was truly wise with age, and even his perspective on things was different.
Ye Shan was absolutely right. The knowledge of spirit beasts, martial spirit theories, and illustrations of rare and precious materials that Bai Yu learned, and even the references to the Soul skills of his predecessors when creating his own Soul skills, all came from the accumulation of generations of the Spirit Hall.
These are the foundations of a great power. Strength is temporary, but legacy is permanent!
Then Ye Shan looked at Bai Yu, his expression becoming serious.
"Young Master Bai, I agree to your conditions. If there are no other conditions, please go ahead and resolve my martial spirit problem first!"
Bai Yu raised an eyebrow, stood up, and said:
"No problem, Elder Ye, please wait a moment, I need to make some preparations."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yu took out hundreds of tiny soul power crystals from his soul tool.
He created these by inscribing spirit-locking array patterns on crystals and then infusing them with soul power.
He nailed these soul power crystals one by one to the floor. Then, his soul power surged, connecting all the crystals to form two complex array patterns, one large and one small.
At this moment, the four members of the Ye family looked at the array patterns on the ground with surprise and uncertainty on their faces. They had never been exposed to the inheritance of soul tools and had no idea what a magic array was.
"Xiao Yu, what is this thing? The fluctuations it's emitting are so strange, and these complex lines are making me a little dizzy after looking at them for a while!"
Hearing Ye Qingyin's exclamation, Bai Yu's lips curled up slightly. He liked it when people were so ignorant!
"This is a magic array, a calming magic array and a spirit-locking magic array. Because it is very painful to scatter and reassemble a martial soul, once you can't hold on, you will lose everything."
