"My lord, this carriage is excellent in every way, except that the cultivation level of your mount is a bit too low."

Seeing Bai Cang frown, Ning Shuangrong suddenly said, "How about we replace this carriage with Master's Thousand-Headed White Crane?"

Within that thousand-crane carriage, the two white crane attendants leading it had both condensed their Yin Primordial Spirits, perhaps enough to prevent the young master from losing face.

Upon hearing this, Bai Cang clapped his hands and said, "That makes sense. I was wondering why something felt off."

When he seized these carriages, he had not yet attained the Dao and built his primordial spirit.

Even the "Primordial Heavenly Demon True Body" has not been forged, and various methods have not been upgraded.

Its actual combat strength is at most equivalent to a fake primordial spirit.

Therefore, in Bai Cang's eyes at that time, the Nine-Dragon Agarwood Jade Chariot, with the Nine-Headed Danjing Cloud Beast as its mount, was naturally very prestigious.

However, things are very different now. Bai Cang is now a "Great Dao Lord" who dares to fight against Golden Immortals who have achieved Dao Integration.

Therefore, from today's perspective, they would naturally look down on such a small show, feeling that it was "below their dignity".

After all, his "triumphant return home" was all about showing off.

As the saying goes: "Respect the clothes before you respect the person!"

For those "country bumpkins" who can't even imagine attaining the primordial spirit in ten lifetimes.

Just how powerful Bai Cang is is a concept that shouldn't even exist in their world.

Bai Cang would never go on a killing spree just because of someone's slight "disrespect" or lack of reverence.

That would be such a disgrace to "Bai Dao Da Jun" (a title implying great respect and authority), it would be an utter loss of face.

Therefore, Bai Cang felt it was very necessary to use some external "packaging" to show off his "awesomeness".

After all, his style of doing things has always been "honest and straightforward," and he would never resort to the old-fashioned and clichéd tactic of "playing dumb to fool others."

Let others underestimate you first, and then retaliate forcefully, showing off and slapping them in the face?

What kind of pig-nose operation is this, Your mother?

That's incredibly cheap and utterly shameful!

His main tactic, "Bai Dadao Jun," is to "do things in a low-key manner and show off in a high-profile manner."

Since I'm so awesome, I have to let you all know just how awesome I am.

Moreover, it's the kind of thing that's immediately obvious and directly pierces through one's moral bottom line.

Either don't pretend at all, or pretend to be the absolute best.

Just like his usual style of dealing with people: either don't do it at all, or do it thoroughly.

He doesn't easily make enemies, but once he does, he'll go after them mercilessly, wiping out their entire family and even the neighbor's dog.

I'll shake the egg until the yolk is broken, and I'll split the earthworm upright!

but……

"The Thousand Crane Carriage? It's not impossible, but it just feels like it's missing something."

Bai Cang gently stroked his chin, ultimately preferring the "Nine Dragons Agarwood Jade Carriage".

After all, it has the title of "Nine Dragons Incense Carriage," so it can cosplay as a certain ancient saint.

Thinking this, Bai Cang made another hand seal, and a corner of the "Pot Heaven" was reflected.

One of them, clad in golden armor and carrying two maces, was in seclusion, cultivating in seclusion.

It was none other than Bai Cang's "godfather": Zhang He.

"He is diligent in his practice, but unfortunately his aptitude is too poor, so no matter how hard he practices, it will be in vain."

Seeing this, Bai Cang shook his head and sentenced Zhang He to death.

Over the years, Bai Cang has gone from plotting to attain the Dao and become a "Great Dao Lord" who dares to confront Golden Immortals head-on.

Despite receiving much support from Bai Cang, Zhang He only reached the seventh level of the "Vajra Heavenly Dragon Technique," showing almost no significant progress.

Without Bai Cang's support, Zhang He would probably have to endure for another ten thousand years, until he died of old age, and still wouldn't be able to reach the edge of the eighth level.

But who could blame him for being lucky enough to meet Bai Cang, a "human golden finger" who was also Bai Cang's first "angel investor"?

Bai Cang's feelings toward Zhang He have always been quite complicated.

After all, when he had just transmigrated and was at his weakest, most lost and helpless, Zhang He was the first person to extend a helping hand to him and to support him "with all his might".

If Zhang He hadn't chosen to support Bai Cang back then...

Instead, she was in a bad mood and slapped him on impulse.

It's estimated that there would be no more events after that, and the book would simply end there.

Now, even the once-powerful "Bai Dao Da Jun" can only face the bleak reality of life once again.

"He died before achieving his goal," "He squandered his life before starting his business," and "He encountered another stroke of bad luck and died with regret."

Therefore, for a long time, Bai Cang regarded "Zhanghe" as an "anchor point".

This also explains why Bai Cang and Mingming did not actually develop a very deep "father-son relationship".

However, the reason why they were so distraught when they heard the news of Zhang He's "death" was...

In a sense, Zhang He was never a "person".

Or rather, it's not a specific, living "person".

Rather, it was a past event that Bai Cang remembered deeply, a kind of "stereotype" that existed in his heart.

People tend to idealize every act of kindness they encounter when they are at their lowest and most insignificant.

Just like every man, almost everyone has a "white moonlight" that they can never forget for the rest of their lives.

No matter how successful he becomes or how many "good women" he meets in the future, he will never be able to shake the position of his "white moonlight" in his heart.

Even if this "white moonlight" is not actually that good, and is just a very ordinary girl who is not outstanding in any way.

But in his mind, all the flaws of the "white moonlight" would be selectively forgotten, and the beauty and advantages of the other person would be infinitely magnified.

It's simply because for most people, what he remembers is not the "person" who is the "white moonlight".

It's not just that unforgettable beauty, but that intoxicating feeling.

One cannot simultaneously possess youth and the feeling of youth.

The "white moonlight" is the "youth" that every man keeps sealed in his heart.

That might not be entirely accurate, and it might even sound a bit crude.

However, Zhang He was a rough, unrefined man with such poor character that he was unbearable to look at.

In a sense, she is indeed Bai Cang's "white moonlight" in this life.

He still can't forget the time when the other party went around asking people to "borrow" money from him, and then "lent" it to Bai Cang.

The phrase "My father is Zhang He," followed by his domineering and tyrannical recollections, is one of the few "beautiful" memories in Bai Cang's mind.

This is a position that he can never replace, no matter how many "benefactors" he encounters.

It was only because of the "benefactors" he encountered later, whether it was Sun Hongbo, Han Qinhu, or "Teacher Tianhe," or all the other people who had helped Bai Cang in the past.

The fundamental reason they helped Bai Cang was because Bai Cang had already demonstrated his "value".

Zhang He clearly did not foresee that his momentary lapse in judgment would bring him such a "fate-defying" reward.

As for his past vow to become "Lu Bu of this world" and "use his halberd to stab his adoptive father," Bai Cang had long forgotten about it.

He has even selectively forgotten his original intention of treating Zhang He kindly; it was actually just a matter of creating a persona of "gratitude."

Thinking this, Bai Cang opened his hand, and a "Blood Pill" appeared out of thin air.

"You little old man, you must have been a very virtuous person who did good deeds in your previous eighteen lives to be able to meet me in this life!"
