Although Lin Xu expressed his doubts, he still greeted the white bluebird:
"Miss Bai, what an honored guest! What brings you here?"
The white bluebird looked at Lin Xu with displeasure:
"I told you, don't call me Miss, call me Bluebird!"
Lin Xu smiled faintly and did not answer.
The white bird didn't dwell on the issue of addressing her and walked into the room without any hesitation, showing no sign of politeness whatsoever.
"Is this your room? It's smaller than my toilet! How can you live in a place like this all this time!"
Lin Xu's lips twitched.
"Miss Bai, you didn't come here just to compare my room and the toilet, did you?"
The white bluebird was still unhappy with how Lin Xu addressed her. She glared at him, snorted, and bent down to sit in a chair.
"I've heard that your combat talent is phenomenal! 100 points in mechanical talent, 200 points in supernatural talent..."
"As for his Pokémon talent, that remains to be seen!" When talking about Lin Xu's Pokémon talent, the white bird's tone was meaningful, and it looked at Lin Xu with a deep gaze.
Lin Xu's eyes flashed.
He finally understood why the white bluebird had come here.
It turned out that his talent had spread throughout the day.
Among the common people, Wang Lei's group spread the news, while among the nobles, the news likely came from Teacher Li.
Moreover, the shop's employees would probably pass on his information to the owner.
Judging from this, there must be quite a few people eyeing him, after all, a talent score of 200 is no small matter.
The fact that the white bluebird arrived so quickly means that it must have had people watching him the whole time, which is why it appeared so timely.
Lin Xu couldn't help but wonder, since the white bluebird knew all this, why did it come to his door?
Surely this woman doesn't want to recruit him into the Bai family, does she?
Given this woman's pride, she wouldn't likely do something like this—persistently pestering him, would she?
The white bluebird, with one leg crossed, looked arrogantly at Lin Xu.
It has to be said that this pose perfectly showcased her great figure, and with her cheongsam and makeup, it was easy for her to accidentally expose herself with this pose, leaving one of her long, white legs completely exposed, which made Lin Xu feel a little hot in his heart.
Seemingly sensing Lin Xu's change, Bai Qingniao's lips curled up, revealing a hint of arrogance:
"Lin Xu, what have you thought about my proposal? Don't you really want a woman like me?"
Lin Xu's eyes flickered; at this moment, he was indeed a little impulsive and just pounced on her.
Given the White Bluebird's personality, she would most likely respond fiercely to him.
However, even if Lin Xu really wanted to obtain the White Bluebird, he wouldn't do such a thing with his current status and position.
Because once he does it now, he'll be tied to the Bai family's ship, and his future development will be inseparable from the Bai family.
But his ambitions extend far beyond just the Bai family.
Therefore, in order to uphold his right to independence, Lin Xu shook his head:
"Miss Bai, I admit you are very charming. However, I still refuse."
Bai Qingniao raised an eyebrow and gave a light snort, but contrary to Lin Xu's expectations, the young lady was not too angry.
Instead, the white bluebird said in a clear voice:
"Alright, it seems your mind hasn't changed. Your will is unwavering; you truly are the man I've chosen. However, your talent is abnormal, which might cause some trouble. Those higher-ups are a bunch of corrupt and brain-dead idiots who have been spreading rumors that talent stats are evenly distributed. Now that they've been thoroughly humiliated, they must be feeling terrible!"
As the white bluebird said this, it chuckled.
This was the first time Lin Xu had heard Bai Qingniao speak so highly of the higher-ups.
Nowadays, the world's elite are only the great nobles.
So, the white bluebird didn't like those people either?
It seems that after he demonstrated even greater talent, the White Bird is also willing to share more of his own ideas.
The white bluebird looked at Lin Xu:
"You have great talent. As long as you survive, you will definitely achieve great things in the future. I can see that you are not without desire for me, so I am waiting for the day when you conquer me!"
Lin Xu raised an eyebrow, but before he could speak, Bai Qingniao suddenly tossed him a badge.
White Bluebird:
“This is my family’s noble badge. I’ve already accessed your records and made you a knight in my household, which gives you a nominal noble status.”
"Keep this badge safe. It's proof of your noble status. While it won't fool the real senior nobles, it'll do for fooling some minor figures."
As she was saying this, the white bluebird interrupted Lin Xu again:
"You don't need to worry about being branded with the Bai family's mark. I obtained this badge privately by using my personal power, and it has little to do with the Bai family. You haven't really joined the Bai family."
"Of course, if you'd like to join, you're always welcome!"
“I was just worried that some people might find you in their way and might try to harm you, so I took out this insurance in advance in case you die unexpectedly.”
As the white bluebird spoke, it tucked its long legs away, stood up from its chair, and walked out of the room.
As she was about to leave, she said calmly:
"Lin Xu, you must remember, only by surviving can you have a future. Never die!"
With that, the white bluebird pushed open the door and left.
Lin Xu silently watched the direction the white bluebird had left, and for the first time, his impression of this young lady had changed.
It turns out that this noble lady is quite charming if she truly cares about others.
She must have paid a high price to give up such a badge, but she didn't use it to ask for anything in return.
It has to be said that at this moment, Lin Xu truly felt a bit of affection for this young lady, rather than simply having desire for her.
Looking at the badge in his hand, still warm from the girl's body, Lin Xu put it into his personal storage space.
"It seems I really will have to accept some favors from this young lady."
Lin Xu felt that if things continued to develop in the future and he gained the qualifications to talk to the Bai family on an equal footing, it wouldn't be impossible for him to further deepen his relationship with Bai Qingniao.
He could even manage to make that engagement happen with himself.
Given his potential and resources, that day is not far off.
To be honest, the Bai family's badge is very helpful. At least when negotiating with those merchants, this badge will definitely give Lin Xu a great advantage.
However, in other aspects, this badge is not so useful, especially in the island world, where strength and connections are valued, and a badge cannot bring so much.
Lin Xu composed himself and prepared to continue planning his trip.
But before he could take a step, there was another knock on the door.
Lin Xu's face twitched.
Sure enough, he revealed some of his talent, which had both advantages and disadvantages.
For some, his value has increased again, which should have given many people the idea of coming to his door to squeeze something out of him.
After all, not everything is like the white bluebird, eager to be devoured by him.
Lin Xu knew that these people must have been waiting for some time, and as long as he was active in the main world, he would have no way to avoid them.
"It seems that it will take some more time for me to go out and discuss the deal today."
Lin Xu opened the door again.
"You're Lin Xu?"
An arrogant and cold voice came from outside the door.
This was an old man who looked like a typical butler, with a curly beard and a single-lensed glasses. His arrogance and disdain were etched into every muscle and wrinkle of his face as if carved by a knife.
Behind the steward were two guards.
Lin Xu frowned.
This steward must be a typical nobleman's servant.
His arrogant attitude is the standard way nobles treat commoners; it would be more unusual for someone like the White Bluebird to act that way.
Lin Xu looked at the butler:
"What's the matter?"
The butler frowned:
"They're not even inviting me in? Typical orphan commoner, utterly lacking in manners!"
