Why did he let the people of the Min Clan see that he had dealings with Yue Guan?
Such confusion lingered in the hearts of the three people.
However, Yu Xiaowei simply smiled and did not answer their questions. They could only head to the Min Clan with lingering doubts.
Upon seeing Yang Wudi and the other three, the members of the Min Clan were still very respectful and guided them to Bai He's room.
At this moment, Bai He no longer had the youthful face and white hair he had yesterday.
He was lying in bed, his face—once flushed—now pale, and wrinkles had spread across his once smooth skin.
In just one hour, he seemed to have aged twenty years.
Even so, when he saw the four of them enter, Bai He shook his head before Yu Xiaowei could speak.
"If you're still here to recruit me, I'll still say it's impossible!"
This old man was truly stubborn.
Yu Xiaowei pressed his lips together but did not show dissatisfaction—instead, he pouted at Yang Wudi.
He immediately understood, took out a bag of golden soul coins from his hand, walked toward Bai He, and handed it to him.
Unexpectedly, Bai He suddenly became furious and violently threw the bag of soul coins. Instantly, the coins clattered to the ground.
"Get out, get out! Don't try to bribe me with money!!!"
"I'd rather starve, or even be wiped out, than accept your filthy money!!!"
"Yang Wudi, Titan, Niu Gao—I really misjudged you. You actually brought a kid like this to humiliate me!!!"
Seeing this, Yu Xiaowei laughed and said to Yang Wudi and the others:
"Three seniors, please chat with Senior Bai He. I'll take my leave first."
With that, he truly turned and left without hesitation.
This action made Bai He feel helpless. He had assumed that as the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan, Yu Xiaowei would either get angry or at least treat him coldly after being insulted.
Why did he just leave?
Could it be that he wanted the three brothers to lobby on his behalf?
At that moment, Bai He's expression changed when he looked at Yang Wudi and the other two. Just as he was about to curse again, he heard Yang Wudi sigh.
"Ah, old Bai He, old Bai He... I was the one who gave you that money."
"We came here today to give you financial support, and the young master wasn't trying to bribe you. He only wanted to talk to you again. Now that you've acted like this, it's going to be awkward for everyone to meet in the future."
Bai He thought about those days. These past years, Yang Wudi had indeed sent him money annually. His pale face immediately turned slightly red.
"Old goat, I—I just forgot."
Yang Wudi shook his head helplessly and ordered the people standing at the door to quickly pick up the soul coins. Then, the three of them sat together in front of Bai He's bed.
They didn't talk about getting the Min Clan to surrender, but instead chatted about amusing memories from the past.
As their conversation grew lively, warm laughter echoed through the room.
Meanwhile, Yu Xiaowei did not leave the Min Clan but wandered around their estate.
Compared to the prestigious Li Clan, Yu Clan, or Po Clan, the Min Clan didn't seem like a soul master family at all.
They occupied a large area, but the houses were very old, and some rooms didn't even have windows.
The spacious courtyard was barren—let alone trees, there wasn't even a single blade of grass.
This made Yu Xiaowei, who was used to luxury, raise his eyebrows.
The Min Clan's poverty was a bit beyond his expectations.
He hadn't expected Bai He's family to be so poor, yet still so stubborn.
"Who are you?"
A voice asked from behind Yu Xiaowei.
A tall and very beautiful girl appeared before him in an instant.
"So fast."
Yu Xiaowei's eyes narrowed slightly.
As expected of someone with a Sharp-tailed Swallow Martial Soul, the girl's soul power was at most level 33, but her speed rivaled that of her second soul skill.
"Hey, I'm asking you—who are you?"
The girl looked Yu Xiaowei up and down. His clothes looked simple but were clearly made of fine materials. Then she looked at her own dress, slightly white from repeated washing, and a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
Yu Xiaowei had already guessed the girl's identity.
At her age, possessing soul master-level cultivation in a poor clan like the Min Clan—only the genius girl Bai Chenxiang could do that.
Originally, I just wanted to lure the Min Clan members to witness the double act between me and Yue Guan, but I didn't expect to run into a heavyweight like this.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaowei smiled.
"My name is Yu Xiaowei. I came to your house today with Senior Yang Wudi and his friends."
Bai Chenxiang's face showed a hint of surprise. How could someone traveling with Yang Wudi not be a member of the Yang family? But she still spoke politely.
"But you shouldn't wander around our home. My grandfather set traps in some places. Be careful not to get hurt by accident."
"Alright, thank you."
Yu Xiaowei thanked her politely.
Then he suddenly remembered something and took out a dagger made by Titan from his soul guide and handed it to Bai Chenxiang.
"By the way, could you show me around your estate? This is a gift for you."
Seeing the dagger, Bai Chenxiang's eyes lit up.
The word "Titan" on the hilt clearly showed the dagger's value.
But she resisted the temptation, shook her head, and refused.
"This is just a small favor—no need to give such an expensive item."
"Hey, what expensive item? I've got a bunch of these at home. Just take it—it's a gift."
"Uh..."
Bai Chenxiang was shocked. So many expensive items at home? Who was this person? Titan's grandson?
No, he just said his surname was Yu.
He came with Yang Wudi, but wasn't from one of the four single-attribute clans. Where did this local tyrant come from?
What major events had happened during the days she was away from home?
With that in mind, Bai Chenxiang's earlier hostility mellowed considerably.
However, she didn't take Yu Xiaowei around the family compound but instead took him to Tianxing City.
After all, the Min Clan's home was too run-down. For a 15-year-old girl, it was embarrassing to show such a place to a guest.
Back at the Min Clan, Bai He didn't have time to worry about what was happening outside, nor did he care about the crisis facing the family.
Just now, he had heard terrifying news from Yang Wudi—
The truth behind the Spirit Hall's attack on him.
That the source of the information was the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan, and Yue Guan, who was now pressuring him, had been one of the killers at that time.
