Chapter 533 Bai Tianhao kneels down to apologize, losing face
Nangong Yunhe's smile froze, and he knew it was too early to be happy. How could it be so easy to take advantage of Xiao Ying?
Kneel down and kowtow to apologize? Haha, you are so bold.
He and Bai Tianhao looked at each other secretly, and both felt that Xiao Ying was bluffing just to make them give up.
The more this happens, the more they cannot give up.
"Since Fellow Daoist Xiao is so aggressive, let me ask you, what will you do if you find it?"
Bai Tianhao was unwilling to retreat. He was very sure that the assassin was in this yard.
Moreover, it is very likely that he is the guard named Ling Yun beside Xiao Ying.
Xiao Ying looked at him strangely and said, "If you really find it, then of course I have to thank you for getting rid of this evil for the people."
The two of them choked again. Was she really not afraid?
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, aren't you afraid that the assassin is someone you know? Or perhaps it's your bodyguard?"
Bai Tianhao was already a threat, and the repeated setbacks had made him deeply resentful.
"Since Old Ancestor Bai is so interested, let's go in and search."
Xiao Ying didn't buy his trick at all and remained calm.
"Speaking of which, we've wasted so much time here. The assassin you're looking for might have already escaped."
Bai Tianhao immediately looked at Nangong Yunhe, but Nangong Yunhe shook his head.
Although there were no late-stage Qi-refining warriors watching over Huitong Hall, there were quite a few nearby, making it difficult for the assassin to escape.
Seeing his statement, Bai Tianhao felt much more at ease.
But kneeling down to apologize is still too insulting. What if the result is not found?
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, please forgive others when you can." Nangong Yunhe smiled and tried to smooth things over. "Why don't you state another condition?"
Xiao Ying said, "It seems that you two are not sure that the assassin is really inside. You are doing this just because you think we are easy to bully."
"Fellow Daoist Xiao really misunderstood."
Nangong Yunhe was also speechless and wanted to stop searching.
Seeing that the wedding is approaching, he actually doesn't want to cause any trouble.
"Brother Bai, how about we just let this matter go?"
Bai Tianhao suddenly widened his eyes and was filled with anger.
"How can we let it go? That assassin wants to kill the princess of our Anlan Kingdom!"
He stared at Nangong Yunhe in disbelief. What on earth did this old man mean?
Xiao Ying also said: "Yes, how can we let it go? You must go in and search, so that we can be cleared of all charges."
Nangong Yunhe rolled his eyes secretly, and it became his fault.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, what about these conditions..."
"Well." Xiao Ying pondered for a moment, and finally said generously: "Then I'll change it."
Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but before they could even relax, they started laughing again.
"Then let's cancel the marriage between the two countries."
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, please don't go too far!"
Bai Tianhao's face turned dark, and Nangong Yunhe couldn't smile either.
But the two also realized that Xiao Ying wanted to prevent their marriage, which showed that Yue Kingdom was afraid.
"Am I going too far?" Xiao Ying's face darkened, his expression frosty. "Oh, it was you who kept saying there was an assassin, and you even broke into my yard and wanted to search it."
"What? You want to take advantage of us without paying any price?"
"I have two conditions today. If you can't find the answer, either you kneel down and apologize, or the marriage between our two countries will be cancelled."
"Otherwise, I'll see who dares to take a step forward!"
Yu Qianli's sword suddenly whistled, and a cold light flashed in the moonlight.
The atmosphere became tense again. Nangong Yunhe knew that Xiao Ying would not retreat again, so he could only look at Bai Tianhao.
Bai Tianhao's face twitched and he was about to say something when he saw Bai Xuening stand up.
"This matter is caused by me. If I can't find it, I will kneel down and apologize."
Bai Tianhao nodded slightly. Xue Ning is a responsible child.
Xiao Ying was not happy: "You? You are not qualified."
These words made Bai Xuening blush and feel ashamed, and she hated Xiao Ying even more.
"Old Ancestor Bai, what do you say?"
Xiao Ying called out Bai Tianhao again, insisting that he express his stance.
Bai Tianhao clenched his fists, his eyes burning with fire.
"Okay, if I can't find it, I'll kneel down and apologize to you."
"But if I find him and he's yours, I'll make you pay!"
Xiao Ying nodded: "That's fair. Then, everyone, please come in."
The courtyard gate was suddenly opened, and Bai Tianhao was the first to walk in angrily.
Nangong Yunhe sighed lightly and followed him in.
Nangong Jingyan did not move. Based on his understanding of Xiao Ying, if he dared to let people search, it meant that he was confident that no one would find him.
I'm afraid that Patriarch Bai and Master will return empty-handed this time.
really.
A quarter of an hour later, Bai Tianhao and Nangong Yunhe walked out with grim expressions, having found nothing.
Seeing the two of them like this, Bai Xuening's heart sank.
Xiao Ying raised the corner of his lips. Ling Yun entered the Immortal Palace as soon as he came back. It would be strange if these two people could find him.
Even the injury was inflicted on purpose, just to give Bai Tianhao the confidence to come find someone.
She asked Ling Yun to assassinate Bai Xue Ning, and it was no joke.
If given the chance, Ling Yun would really kill Bai Xue Ning. Once Bai Xue Ning died, this marriage would naturally be broken.
If we can't kill him, it would be a good idea to lure out the masters of Anlan Country like we are doing now.
By the way, he would reveal his own strength appropriately to reduce the vigilance of Nangong Yunhe and others.
"Fellow Daoist Nangong, Old Ancestor Bai, have you found the assassin?"
Xiao Ying asked knowingly and deliberately rubbed salt into the wound.
Nangong Yunhe smiled awkwardly: "Maybe Brother Bai is mistaken, there is no assassin inside."
Bai Tianhao had a sullen face and said nothing, gritting his teeth secretly.
"In that case, shouldn't Old Ancestor Bai also fulfill his promise? Kneel down and apologize to us?"
Xiao Ying asked Bai Tianhao with a smile, but she would not let him go just because he was older.
"etc!"
Bai Xuening suddenly spoke, glaring at Xiao Ying fiercely.
"What? Do you want to go back on your word?" Xiao Ying was displeased.
Bai Xuening said coldly, "It's not that we want to go back on our word, but there are still two people we haven't checked."
"Master Xiao, you and Young Master Yu are also suspects. Please show me your arms so we can take a look."
At this point, she no longer cared about offending Yu Qianli.
"Yes, and you two."
Bai Tianhao was stunned, but then he felt a little hope. The person he suspected at the beginning was Yu Qianli.
"In that case, I will make you kneel down and admit your guilt."
Yu Qianli glanced at Bai Xuening coldly. Bai Xuening felt a pain in her heart and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
After saying that, he and Xiao Ying rolled up the right sleeve of their robes, revealing their smooth arms.
Everyone could clearly see that there were no scars on the arms of the two men.
They are not assassins.
At that moment, Bai Xuening's face turned pale, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
She guessed wrong, it wasn't these two people.
Bai Tianhao fell from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley again and couldn't help but close his eyes.
"Ancestor Bai, what do you say this time?"
Yu Qianli ignored Bai Xuening and just stared at Bai Tianhao.
"I am willing to accept the loss of the bet."
Bai Tianhao sighed deeply, as if he had exhausted all his strength.
