"The messenger has arrived!"
The loud voice interrupted everyone's discussion and made them all tense.
Under normal circumstances, they would never pay attention to the movements of an unknown person, but now, the other party has brought news that is of life and death to them, so they have to pay attention!
"Let him in!"
The Patriarch of the Bai family sat in the first seat with a calm expression, as if he was sitting on a throne of confidence, but his trembling fingers betrayed his inner thoughts.
"Meet the master of the house!"
When the Bai family's envoy appeared in front of everyone, he immediately caused a series of gasps.
The other party was covered in wounds and one of his eyes was broken. He looked in a very miserable state, which indirectly foreshadowed the outcome of the negotiations.
"What happened?"
"They accepted our property, acted very touched... and refused to withdraw!"
This concise sentence was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart hard.
"Damn it... They are pushing us too far. How dare they do that? They want to take advantage of us and won't give anything back. Are they planning to eat us all up? There is no such thing as a free lunch!"
Some people were indignant, their eyes were red, and their fighting spirit was high, as if they were determined not to give up even if it meant they would suffer the consequences.
When people are in desperate situations, they will indeed burst out with unimaginable courage and strength. As the saying goes, a trapped beast fights. If the red-robed general leads a large army to attack at this time, he might really suffer heavy losses!
But fortunately, the courage of these people will be useless under the leadership of the stupid head of the family!
"Be quiet, everything is under control!"
The head of the Bai family clapped his hands, and then saw the messenger again.
“Since they haven’t retreated or attacked, they must have made other demands, right?!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked up suddenly and stared at the messenger with sharp eyes, making the atmosphere in the hall become much weirder.
"You guessed it, they did make demands, and they were quite excessive!"
"Then we absolutely cannot agree to them!"
A high-level saint frowned and said that even among the top leaders of the Bai family, he was an important figure and his words were full of weight.
"We are bribing the enemy, which will easily cause our strength to be weakened. Bribing a little today, a little tomorrow. Our wealth is limited, but the enemy's greed is unlimited!"
"Sacrificing our own interests for a moment of peace is like a bubble in the water. The enemy will come back in the blink of an eye. By then, we will be helpless and can only be slaughtered!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell silent, and solemn expressions appeared on everyone's faces. It was obvious that they also agreed with what this person said.
"Hehe... You can't just guess what the master of the family is thinking. You just need to obey him. We have a lot to consider!"
Bai Qingyang said with a sneer, and then looked at the Patriarch of the Bai Family: "Don't pay attention to them, the arrow is on the string and has to be shot. As long as we act according to the plan, we still have a chance of survival!"
“You’re right…”
The head of the family responded, causing everyone present to despair.
"Tell me, they are asking for a huge price. What conditions have they put forward? Our Bai family will definitely meet them!"
Bai Qingyang seemed to be supported. He glanced at the other people present, his eyes full of pride and arrogance.
Being able to suppress all those in power by himself is a great achievement for him, enough to make him take off with pride.
Hearing this, the Bai family envoy trembled all over, but finally spoke slowly.
"They want your wife, and your legal wife!"
"What!!"
It was like thunder descending from the sky, or like a meteorite splitting the universe. The people present felt like they had been hit on the head with a heavy blow. Their heads were buzzing, and they even gave up thinking for a moment.
"What did you say? Say it again, is there something wrong with your mouth, or am I deaf!!"
Bai Qingyang's facial features were trembling rapidly, and his face turned pale in an instant. Not only him, but even the head of the family and everyone else couldn't believe their ears.
"My mouth is fine, and your ears are healthy too. The one with the problem is the enemy, to be more precise, Loulan. She proposed this condition, and the Red-robed Divine General agreed!"
The white-robed messenger repeated it tirelessly, killing Bai Qingyang's last bit of luck bit by bit.
"No... this can't be true, this is not okay!!"
In an instant, he was completely confused, and his hands, feet and scalp were numb uncontrollably.
Even for the most heartless and ungrateful beast in the world, it is difficult to be completely lustless and absolutely cold. Bai Qingyang is a typical example.
He could treat the Loulan mother and daughter as animals. Not to mention beating and scolding them at will, even if he watched them being killed, it would not make him feel the slightest bit disturbed.
He is even more mean and ungrateful to outsiders. He can give up the huge Bai family fortune at any time as long as it can bring him peace and safety.
But there is only one person who is the softest part of his heart that he cannot give up, and that is his first wife and his legal wife, a woman from the divine clan named Hong Ji.
However, people's joys and sorrows are not the same. Compared with his collapse, everyone else showed a sincere smile.
"Happy event! This is truly a great happy event!"
Some people didn't give any face at all and just cheered.
"What did you say? Say it again!!"
Bai Qingyang was furious and glared at him fiercely, but he didn't even get an expression from the other person.
The other party raised his arms and shouted, "I thought they would ask for a sky-high price, but they actually asked for a small price. Compared with the Bai family's wealth, a woman is nothing. Please make a decision quickly and negotiate with them!"
"Let's see who dares!!"
Bai Qingyang was like an angry lion, with his hair standing on end, and his fierce aura intimidating everyone around him.
"This condition is not acceptable. My wife is my family and cannot be used for trading or negotiation. They are going too far. I might as well just confront them!"
Hearing this, everyone showed a mocking expression.
"Didn't you say that for the sake of the family, you could even give up your cultivation to become an emperor? Why don't you agree now?"
"Hahaha…"
Even in such a serious situation, the crowd burst into thunderous laughter.
“Is that even a question?”
Someone gave the answer, "Because the chance of becoming an emperor is slim, and he really has a wife!"
“I see… That’s really insightful, hahaha!”
The laughter of the crowd rose one after another, and each one was like a steel whip, severely lashing his self-esteem!
"If anyone dares to laugh again, I will kill him!"
In the end, he released his aura without reservation. Not everyone could provoke a Saint at the eighth level. Even though he was injured, he still suppressed everyone.
“Hehe…”
At this moment, another laugh was heard, causing him to turn around abruptly, only to meet the gaze of the Patriarch of the Bai family.
"Qingyang... you have always been sensible. Moreover, this plan came from you. You should know how to do it. Please don't let me down!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Qingyang's face instantly lost all color, like a dried corpse!
