Chapter 591: Bai Li Appears (Part 1)
This was the first time Ruan Qi knew about the existence of a confidentiality agreement.
She hesitated for a moment and asked worriedly, "Will signing a confidentiality agreement have any negative effects on my family? For example, shortening their lifespan or affecting their fortunes..."
Bai Li couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this.
"You little bastard, I'm an orthodox divine weapon, not one of those shady ones. It's just a contract. As long as your family doesn't reveal the secret, the contract won't have any effect on them."
Ruan Qi felt relieved when he heard this.
She exited the system and said to Ruan Fengmian and the others, "Dad, actually, that old man has been following me all along."
"?" Ruan Fengmian was stunned for a moment, "Has been following you? Is he your ghost?"
Ruan Qi: “…”
Her father must have read too many ghost stories to have such a wild imagination.
"He's not a ghost, nor a spirit. He's a spirit." Ruan Qi explained helplessly, "I just discussed it with him. He said he can meet with everyone, but Dad, you must sign a confidentiality agreement."
Ruan Fengmian: "Confidentiality agreement?"
"Yes." Ruan Qi nodded. "The confidentiality agreement is signed with spiritual power. If the signer leaks the secret, he will be struck by lightning."
A mortal body may not be able to withstand a single thunderbolt, let alone five thunderbolts.
Ruan Qi wanted everyone to think about it again, but Ruan Fengmian nodded and agreed without even thinking about it.
"Sure, I'll sign. What about you, wife?"
Yang Liu, who was sitting next to him, had not yet recovered from the shock of Ruan Qi's death.
Her eyes were red, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Of course I have to sign. That old man is Xiao Qi's savior. Even if he doesn't sign, I won't reveal his secret."
"I'll sign too." Ruan Munan followed his mother and said, "I want to thank him in person for saving my sister."
None of the three members of the Ruan family hesitated.
It was even more impossible for Nie Beilou and Xi Jiu to miss this opportunity to communicate with Bai Li.
Seeing that everyone had made up their minds, Ruan Qi used his mental power to contact Bai Li.
"Uncle Bai Li."
"I heard you." Bai Li's voice rang in her mind, "I'll make the contract right away."
Not long after Bai Li finished speaking, several mental powers rushed out of Ruan Qi's body.
They split into five directions, rushed towards Ruan Fengmian, Xi Jiu and the other four, and then drilled straight into their eyebrows.
In an instant, the contract was formed, and the spiritual imprint of the Baili artifact was imprinted in the sea of memory of several people.
It all happened so quickly, only a few seconds from beginning to end, and Ruan Fengmian and the others hadn't reacted yet.
At this moment, they suddenly heard a strange voice coming from the study.
"Seventh girl, get me a chair. I want to sit down."
The voice sounded like that of an old man, but the tone was very lively.
Ruan Qi couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard Bai Li's request: "Uncle Bai Li, you are a spirit, you are not tired, why are you sitting on a chair?"
"What's wrong with the spirit? Can't the spirit sit? Go, go! Get me a chair!"
The Ruan family members who were stunned there finally realized who the voice came from.
Ruan Fengmian quickly pushed Ruan Munan and said, "Munan, go outside and bring a single sofa over."
Ruan Munan stood up and was about to leave.
But before he could take two steps, he was stopped by an invisible force.
"No need to make such a fuss, just get a chair." Bai Li's lively and casual voice sounded again, "It's the one by the wall, Ruan family boy, help me get it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the invisible force that was blocking Ruan Munan dissipated.
Ruan Munan suppressed the shock in his heart, walked quickly to the wall and moved the chair.
Bai Li: "Just put it next to the seventh girl. Oh, right, right, just put it there. Ruan family boy, please move aside, I'm coming out."
Ruan Munan immediately stepped aside.
The next moment, a white light suddenly appeared in the study.
The white light is not dazzling, but has a holy gentleness.
Everyone in the Ruan family held their breath and watched. A vague figure slowly emerged from the gentle white light.
The figure was ethereal, and only the outline and facial features could be vaguely seen. He walked out of the white light, floated over to a chair and sat down.
"Hello everyone. It's our first time meeting. My name is Bai Li."
Bai Li's voice is very easygoing, with a bit of playful liveliness, and very familiar.
But no one from the Ruan family responded.
They were all shocked by Bai Li's not-so-materialistic way of appearing.
However, the Ruan family had experienced many storms and quickly recovered from their shock.
Ruan Fengmian was the first to step forward: "Um... Senior Bai Li, hello. I am Xiao Qi's father, Ruan Fengmian."
As he said this, he was about to extend his hand and shake hands with Bai Li politely.
But just when he stretched out his hand halfway, Ruan Fengmian suddenly remembered that Bai Li was not a physical entity.
...This is a bit embarrassing.
Ruan Fengmian showed a hint of apology on his gentle and handsome face.
Bai Li waved her hand nonchalantly, "We're all family, so there's no need to worry about these details. I don't have enough spiritual power right now, so I can't condense it into a physical entity. When I can condense it in the future, you can hold it as long as you want."
Ruan Fengmian couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard this.
The old immortal seems very easy-going and would not easily unbind himself from his daughter.
Just don't unbind it.
As long as his daughter can survive, he is willing to recognize Bai Li as his ancestor.
For the sake of his daughter, Ruan Fengmian put on no airs in front of Bai Li. He greeted Bai Li and prepared to introduce the Ruan family.
Bai Li interrupted him.
"No need for introductions, I know all of Qi Yatou's family members. Qi Yatou and I are bound together, and I can see everything that happens to her outside. You are all very good people."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Fengmian swallowed the words of introducing his family and prepared to thank him for saving Ruan Qi's life.
Bai Li seemed to know what he was going to say and interrupted him again.
"There's no need to say thank you. I've lived for tens of thousands of years, and Seventh Girl is the only one who binds me. The relationship between me and Seventh Girl is the same as the relationship between you and her. I treat her as one of my own family, and saving her was my own will."
"So you all don't have to be so reserved. I'm a casual person, and I'm uncomfortable if you're too reserved."
Old man Bai Li always said what he meant, and Ruan Qi echoed him, "Uncle Bai Li is right. Dad, don't be so nervous. Uncle Bai Li is not a cannibal. He has a very good temper. I even pulled his beard a few days ago."
Bai Li: “…”
That goes without saying.
Can you leave some underwear for the old man?
After Ruan Qi's ruthless exposure, the Ruan family finally understood Bai Li's true character, and their hearts finally settled down.
"Since Senior Bai Li has said so, we won't be polite with you. Um, Senior Bai, can you eat some fruit? I'll wash some for you."
Bai Li's eyes suddenly lit up.
