Ye Zhanhua had seen his fair share of the world, yet he was still intimidated by that Golden Saber.
He was already powerful enough, being the commander of the East Sea Theater, with hundreds of thousands of brave soldiers at his disposal, making nurous nations within the Eastern Sea Domain tremble at the re ntion of his na.
But even with all his strength, he was just an ordinary person. Even if he practiced inner force, he could not compare to those true Martial Arts Masters.
The prowess of real Martial Arts Masters had already surpassed what ordinary people could imagine; feats like scaling walls and picking flowers with hidden weapons to harm people were re trifles.
Top-tier Martial Arts Masters, if they wanted soone dead, and if that person was not protected by another master of equal caliber, would not spare them—even if they were amidst tens of thousands of troops.
That’s why many heads of powerful nations always kept top-tier Martial Arts Masters for protection.
The Bai Family represented the most elite Martial Arts legacy of the Dragon Sumr, enduring a thousand years without waning, with a constant ergence of masters within the clan.
The most influential people at the core of Beijing’s power pyramid never lacked mbers of the Bai Family for protection.
Astonishing in Martial Arts prowess, with the ability to easily take lives amidst thousands, they were also on excellent terms with many magnates, maintaining amicable relationships with nurous families, their connections spanning across the world.
For this reason, despite never engaging in politics or military affairs and treating business as a re pasti, the Bai Family held untouchable status within the country.
The current Family Head of the Bai Family, the elderly matriarch, was known for her gentle nature and rarely made enemies.
But she was also famously protective of her own, and anyone who dared cause trouble for a mber of the Bai Family would not be spared, no matter how high-ranking the opposing family might be.
It was said that her discernnt in choosing her successor was particularly ticulous, which explained why no young mber of the Bai Family had ever caught her eye, and hence, no heir had been nad for years.
Who would have thought that the Bai Family Matriarch would actually bestow the Golden Saber upon Xu Qianli, indicating her choice of him as the heir to the Bai Family!
That young man truly was full of surprises.
After finally coming to his senses, Ye Zhanhua said, "Tell , out of Bai Yanran, Bai Jinse, and Bai Muqing, which one did you manage to win over?"
The Bai Family had many outstanding descendants, but if one were to talk about closeness to the Patriarch and superior rit, Bai Yanran, Bai Jinse, and Bai Muqing would be at the forefront.
Bai Yanran, the jewel of the third generation of the Bai Family, was young, beautiful, and had an exceptional deanor, carving a path through the business world and was the beloved granddaughter of the Family Matriarch.
Bai Jinse was another cherished granddaughter, irresistibly adorable, loved by everyone in the Bai Family. They held her in high esteem and believed that the Bai Family would flourish even more with her as the future head.
As for Bai Muqing, although she was not a direct granddaughter, she was a Bai Family descendant and the strongest among the younger generation, with many in the Bai Family favoring her.
Xu Qianli, an outsider, was sohow able to attain the Bai Family’s Golden Saber. There was only one possibility: he had ford a relationship with one of the three most outstanding won of the Bai Family, obtained it as a son-in-law.
This rascal had already gotten his own daughter, and now he had even involved himself with the prized daughters of the Bai Family; he really had so nerve!
Faced with Ye Zhanhua’s question, Xu Qianli responded, "What if I told you that all three of them are my fiancées?"
Pfft...
Ye Zhanhua was drinking tea at that mont, and he couldn’t help but spit it out.
What, the three heroines of the Bai Family’s younger generation were all Xu Qianli’s fiancées?
Logically speaking, it was impossible, and Ye Zhanhua would never believe it.
But Xu Qianli just so happens to have the Bai Family’s Golden Saber in his grip, solid evidence indeed!
Taking a deep breath, Ye Zhanhua said with utter seriousness, "You, my boy, are truly a scourge!"
Xu Qianli replied with a smile, "Thank you for the complint, Uncle Ye."
"I’m scolding you, when did I ever complint you?"
"You already have my daughter ixin, and yet you still entangle yourself with the Bai family’s precious daughter, eating from your bowl while eyeing the pot; you even dared to grab the pot! With the way you are, how can you be worthy of my daughter?"
"No, with goods like you, how can I rest assured handing over ixin to you?"
"Listen to , either break it off with the Bai family, or, you break up with my daughter ixin!"
Ye Zhanhua was truly infuriated. This kid playing around with a few pretty won outside was one thing, but to get involved with one of the young elites of the Bai family, he really could pull it off!
With such goods, how could he feel at ease giving his daughter to him?
Xu Qianli put away the Golden Saber, took out a cigarette, and lit one up. While smoking, he looked at his future father-in-law with a smile.
It was quite amusing to get him riled up.
Ye Zhanhua, observing Xu Qianli’s attitude, grew even more unhappy. He slamd his hand down hard on the coffee table, raising his voice a few notches, "What are you looking at, you rascal? If I tell you to break it off with the Bai family, either agree or disagree, say sothing!"
"Uncle Ye, regardless of your intentions, you must recognize one thing."
"While it’s true you are ixin’s father, I don’t deny that; after all, you share a blood relation."
"But when it cos to affection, I believe that you, who never raised ixin for even a day and even abandoned her because of certain matters, probably don’t weigh as much in her heart as I do."
"I didn’t co here because you’re from the Ye family, nor did I co to suck up to you because of your status as commander of the East Sea Theater. I simply ca to accompany my girlfriend to visit her family."
"If you try to tear apart and ixin again, I wouldn’t mind making her cut ties with you for life."
Xu Qianli said this quite indifferently. What right do you, Ye Zhanhua, have to break up and ixin? Have you raised ixin for a day? Have you fulfilled even a bit of your responsibility as a father to ixin in these twenty years?
Nothing, absolutely nothing. What right do you have to dictate to about my relationship with ixin?
Ye Zhanhua sprang to his feet, glaring furiously at Xu Qianli, "Are you threatening ?"
As the Hundred Battle Commander, holding a high position as the commander of the East Sea Theater, Ye Zhanhua’s anger was terribly formidable. He stood like a raging lion, fixating on Xu Qianli.
Faced with the furious Ye Zhanhua, Xu Qianli said, "It’s not a threat. I’m simply reminding you that you don’t have the right to tear and ixin apart, because you don’t deserve to!"
That single phrase, "you don’t deserve to," pierced into Ye Zhanhua’s heart like a sharp sword, instantly deflating his will, causing him to slump backward onto the sofa.
Yes, he doesn’t deserve to; what right does he have to ddle in his own daughter’s affairs?
After a long while, Ye Zhanhua finally regained his composure, looking a decade older. He sighed and looked at Xu Qianli, managing a wry smile, "Regardless, treat her a bit better in the future."
"She’s my girlfriend, and she’s going to be my official wife in the future; of course, I’ll be good to her. There’s no need for you to worry about that, Uncle Ye."
"Oh, right, my parents have written two letters, one for Uncle Ye and the other for Aunt Qin."
Finally managing to deal with the situation, Xu Qianli took out the two letters written by his parents and handed the one written by his dad to Ye Zhanhua.
