Chapter 1252 - 1252 Bai Zhiyu, You Miscalculated (3)
“What… do you mean…” Bai Zhiyu didn’t quite understand what the Master of the Jiang family said, but when he turned around and looked, he saw that the person who slowly came over was the Second Elder of the Yun family! Bai Zhiyu’s entire body froze there. What was the Second Elder of the Yun family doing here?
The Second Elder of the Yun family approached and the Master of the Jiang family snorted coldly. “The Yun family is quite lucky.”
The Second Elder smiled lightly and didn’t say anything. He looked at Bai Zhiyu with his black eyes. Bai Zhiyu was completely dumbfounded right now, but fortunately, he thought quickly. “Second Elder, why are you here?” Bai Zhiyu put on a stiff smile. The Second Elder chuckled. The Master of the Jiang family said coldly, “Master Bai, your question is a bit stupid. They’re here to participate in the selection convention, right?”
Bai Zhiyu couldn’t help but sweat. The Yun family came here to participate in the selection convention, but where did they get a hundred ultimate ores? And they got them in such a short time!
“People outside, come in!” A melodious voice came from inside. The Master of the Jiang family pushed the door open and entered first, followed by the Second Elder of the Yun family. Bai Zhiyu also walked in with a gloomy face. After the three of them walked in, the door automatically closed.
“Oh, I didn’t expect to see the Yun family this time.” The person sitting there said lazily as he glanced at the Second Elder of the Yun family. The Second Elder only smiled and didn’t say anything. He stood there with his body straight, looking arrogant.
“Alright, since you’ve come in, the hundred ultimate ores must be ready.” The person said again. The Master of the Jiang family flipped his wrist and took out a ring, handing it over. Bai Zhiyu did the same. The Second Elder of the Yun family also took out a ring. Bai Zhiyu’s eyes widened. They really had the ultimate ores! W-What exactly was going on?
After the three families handed over the ultimate ores, the person examined them one by one and smiled in satisfaction. “Not bad. Precisely a hundred ultimate ores. All three of you have been given the chance to participate in the selection this time. The selection will be held in twenty days. By then, you must perform well, or you’ll be ostracized again very soon even if you go to the Inner Region. Second Elder of the Yun family, it won’t be good if you try too hard.”
Coldness flashed through the eyes of the Second Elder of the Yun family as he said the first sentence, “You don’t have to worry about that. Just do what you should do.”
The person immediately looked gloomy. The Master of the Jiang family and Bai Zhiyu were also shocked in their minds after hearing that. In this place, only the three elders of the Yun family had the courage to scold someone from the Inner Region. They wouldn’t have the courage to do so even if they were given the chance!
“Humph! I’ll see what the Yun family will do this time! Alright, let’s get out!” The person sneered. He didn’t use the identity of the Inner Region to suppress the Second Elder of the Yun family. He probably didn’t dare to. The three family masters walked out. The Jiang family’s master immediately went back without looking back. The Second Elder of the Yun family was about to leave, when Bai Zhiyu stopped him. “Second Elder!”
“Master Bai, what’s the matter?” The Second Elder of the Yun family asked casually. Bai Zhiyu glanced at him suspiciously. “Didn’t the hundred ultimate ores of the Yun family disappear? You…”
The Second Elder of the Yun family sneered. “We certainly have our ways. Anything else?”
Bai Zhiyu gritted his teeth secretly. The Second Elder of the Yun family turned around and left. Looking at his back, Bai Zhiyu gritted his teeth. How exactly did the Yun family gather another hundred ultimate ores? He took out all of them. Did something go wrong? Or did a master help the Yun family secretly? If there was really a master, it was impossible that he couldn’t find out. It was impossible that he didn’t know what was going on! Without the threat of these hundred ultimate ores, Bai Zhiyu could be said to have taken a huge step wrong. The Yun family participated in the selection this time. If they really returned to the Inner Region, how would the Bai family do anything?
The Master of the Bai family returned home in anger. He just didn’t know what went wrong. Everything should have gone according to his plan, but why did the Yun family… “Father!” Bai Qingfeng pushed the door open and entered. He saw that the Master of the Bai family looked gloomy. His black eyes couldn’t help but glitter as he lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, “The Yun family is still the same as before. Yun Feng is still the target of everyone.”
“No!” Master Bai suddenly shouted. Bai Qingfeng’s body couldn’t help but tremble. Master Bai looked at Bai Qingfeng with anger in his eyes. “Something must have happened to the Yun family!”
Bai Qingfeng stood there and didn’t say anything. The Bai family’s master paced back and forth anxiously and kept mumbling, “What went wrong? Everything was supposed to be under control. What went wrong?”
“Father, what exactly happened?”
“I wonder who gave the Yun family another hundred ultimate ores. The Yun family will be qualified to participate in the selection this time!” Blue veins appeared on Bai Zhiyu’s forehead when he said this with a hateful look. Bai Qingfeng couldn’t help but feel startled. “The Yun family might not be able to enter the Inner Region even if they participate in the selection…”
“How can the Yun family not enter the Inner Region with their qualifications?” Bai Zhiyu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. “I forgot that the selection this time doesn’t only rely on strength, but also on many other aspects. Even if the Yun family has that four-element summoner, so what? There’s a potion competition in the selection this time. Hahaha! Alright!”
Bai Qingfeng remained silent. Bai Zhiyu finally looked better. “You must keep an eye on the Yun family. Report to me as soon as you hear anything!”
Bai Qingfeng nodded and pushed the door open. He walked to an empty corner and took out a Sound Badge. The Sound Badge flashed a few times and was picked up. Bai Qingfeng said in a low voice, “Father will send someone else to keep an eye on the Yun family.”
The Sound Badge flashed a few times. A clear voice came. “Got it.”
Bai Qingfeng was silent for a while and finally asked, “Are you really confident about what you said?”
The Sound Badge flashed and a low laugh came. “Bai Qingfeng, you should have some confidence in yourself.”
Bai Qingfeng’s expression eased, and then became much more serious. “I don’t care about other people. I only care about Xiao Xiang.”
