After listening to Bai Enling's words, Chen Ping pondered for a moment before saying, "Speaking of which, was this test conducted in secret? Or was it something your Bai family all knew about?"
Bai Enling: "This is something that the entire Bai family must know, otherwise why would there be any test? Our Bai family's younger generation, well, those who can advance to the level of a main god before the age of a thousand, will be put through a test."
"Huh? No, Chen Ping, what you mean is..."
Bai Enling looked at Chen Ping with disbelief in her eyes. Could it really be what he thought?
Chen Ping: "That's right, just like you think. I think maybe someone doesn't want you to pass the test? Besides, what's the difference between passing the test and not passing it?"
Bai Enling's expression immediately turned ugly. He first sounded the alarm, and then spoke in an uncertain tone.
Bai Enling: "Our Bai family has a rule from our ancestors that no one who fails the test can become the head of the Bai family. My father is the head of the Bai family, so if I fail the test, then the next head of the family will be..."
Chen Ping: "Oh, power is so alluring. So, these Nora pirates might have been planted by your enemies?"
Upon hearing Chen Ping's words, Bai Enling's expression became even more solemn. He frowned, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "What you said isn't impossible. After all, internal family struggles are often brutal, but we can't make a judgment based solely on speculation. While I haven't ruled out such a possibility, I also can't doubt every family member because of it."
As for the Nora pirates, their actions are unpredictable and erratic, and even if there are enemies interfering, it would be difficult to find conclusive evidence. However, whether it is an external threat or internal strife, I must deal with them with strength and wisdom.
Passing this test is not only about my personal honor and status, but also about the future stability and development of the entire Bai family.
Chen Ping nodded and further analyzed, "I understand. In other words, even normal pirate activities could be exploited by those with ulterior motives to suppress you, given your special status. In any case, we must be extra vigilant when facing these challenges, guarding against both overt enemies and potential hidden attacks."
Bai Enling: "If it really is an enemy, or an internal family conflict, then they should have a clear understanding of my combat strength plan. Hmm, thinking about it this way, Chen Ping, you may be the key for me to turn the tide in the end."
"After all, you are the only one, someone they don't know. And if this were really their doing, then there wouldn't be an existence above the main god. So your existence is the key to breaking the deadlock!"
Chen Ping: "Oh, a surprise attack, right? No problem."
"Young Master, the guards have all assembled and are ready to attack at any time."
Uncle Chen walked over and said respectfully.
Upon hearing this, Bai Enling nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle Chen, this time they might be testing me, so the goods must be absolutely safe! Otherwise, if the goods are destroyed, then even if we reach our destination, it will be too late to recover."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Chen frowned and said, "Young Master, your concerns are not unfounded. Here's what we'll do: I'll go and collect the items that can be stored in my spatial storage, but there's nothing I can do about those living rare and exotic beasts."
Bai Enling: "Well, there's nothing we can do about it. Besides, spatial artifacts that can store life are not only rare, but also ridiculously expensive."
"Let's go, it's time to prepare for battle. It looks like the enemy is coming on strong."
Bai Enling sighed inwardly, hoping it was Bai family enemies who were behind it. If it was internal strife, he would likely be targeted, since the guards he brought were all selected from the Bai family's guard team.
Soon, the three arrived at the front deck, where tens of thousands of guards had already gathered.
"Young Master! We have completed our union and are ready for battle at any time!"
Tens of thousands of shouts rang out in unison.
Chen Ping raised an eyebrow. This level of cohesion is quite impressive. With this kind of momentum, they can probably unleash 120% of their potential in battle.
......
Standing beside Bai Enling, Chen Ping felt the high morale and firm determination of the guards around him, and a feeling of excitement welled up inside him.
He patted Bai Enling on the shoulder and encouraged her, "Enling, no matter who the enemy is, as long as we work together, there is no difficulty we cannot overcome. Although I am not a member of the Bai family, as a friend, I will do my best to help you. We must not only protect this shipment, but also make anyone who tries to sabotage your test pay the price."
After all, with his current strength, he could wipe out the Bai family with a single hand, let alone these wild pirates. As a peak-level Cricket God, he could eliminate them in the blink of an eye.
Bai Enling met the guards with a firm gaze and announced loudly: "Brothers, I know you are the most elite members of the Bai family. No matter what difficulties we face today, I hope you can all remain calm, unite as one, and fight against the enemy together."
Chen Ping is a friend I trust; he will fight alongside us. Remember, our goal is not just to protect this shipment, but also to uphold the honor and dignity of the Bai family. Before we depart, I hope everyone will check their equipment and ensure their own safety so that we can better protect others.
With Bai Enling's order, tens of thousands of guards quickly went into battle mode. The entire Bai family merchant ship was like an iron fortress about to be deployed to the battlefield, ready to meet the upcoming challenge.
At this moment, Chen Ping's gaze fell on the churning sea in the distance, as if he could sense the danger lurking in the shadows approaching.
He whispered to Bai Enling, "Bai Enling, although I am confident enough to deal with this possible attack, we still need to prepare for the worst. Once the battle begins, I will take out the enemy's main fighting force as soon as possible, and leave the rest to you and the Bai family brothers."
Bai Enling nodded gratefully. He knew Chen Ping's strength was unfathomable, and his assistance would undoubtedly add a solid layer of protection to the Bai family's merchant ships. So he raised his arm again and shouted, "Brothers, heed my command! We will stand together through life and death, honor and disgrace, and swear to defend the Bai family's glory to the death!"
As Bai Enling shouted, all the guards joined in, their morale soaring.
As expected of a top-tier second-rate power, their cohesion is still very strong. Of course, it's also related to the fact that these people are all elites of the Bai family. After all, Bai Enling is the son of the Bai family patriarch and an only child.
