Chapter 107: Visiting the Hall of the Divine Blade
Chapter 107: Visiting the Hall of the Divine Blade
Bai Tianyong let out a bitter laugh, "So it turns out that Manor Lord You already recognized me."
You Longsheng blinked and turned to Lan Yueyi, "He didn't introduce himself just now, did he?"
Lan Yueyi stifled a giggle and shook her head, "No introduction."
"Then I've been too careless." You Longsheng nodded earnestly and cupped his hands toward Bai Tianyong, "May I inquire as to your esteemed name?"
Bai Tianyong's face flushed with shame, and he quickly cupped his hands in apology, "My apologies, I've been rude."
After a moment's pause, Bai Tianyong continued, "Manor Lord You is indeed worthy of my brother's praise, able to stand toe-to-toe with him. I was momentarily curious, and for that, I am ashamed."
Bai Tianyong had just arrived and immediately revealed the identities of the three, inquiring about them as if they were old acquaintances, but he deliberately refrained from introducing himself, clearly playing a mysterious game.
However, You Longsheng chose not to play along and instead matched his familiarity by inviting them to enjoy the delicacies and the meal, leaving Bai Tianyong in an awkward position.
But Bai Tianyong was quick to let go of his embarrassment and apologized sincerely, disregarding his status. He could have easily made an excuse and brushed it off, but he chose not to, which gave You Longsheng a favorable first impression.
Last year, when Bai Tianyu visited the Hidden Sword Villa, he mentioned his second brother while recounting his story with Li Xunhuan.
Bai Tianyu had said that their names were ironic—his name was 'Yu', which implied a brave and vigorous personality, but he was the scholarly and refined one. On the other hand, his second brother's name was 'Yong', which suggested a fierce and courageous nature, yet he was the gentle and bookish one.
In the rugged frontier, how many people embodied refinement and scholarly qualities?
Moreover, there were not many people in the Hall of the Divine Blade who were qualified to come and greet them.
You Longsheng waved his hand and laughed, "I was just joking. Your brother, White, mentioned you to me. With your scholarly demeanor, you would blend seamlessly into the landscape of the Jiangnan, but here in the frontier, you stand out like a crane among chickens."
In the original story, Bai Tianyong was a mere backdrop, only briefly mentioned as a master of his time, serving to highlight the cruelty of the battle at Plum Blossom Nunnery and the tragic annihilation of Bai Tianyu's entire family.
As a result, You Longsheng had no knowledge of Bai Tianyong's personality.
So, while Bai Tianyong was testing You Longsheng, You Longsheng was also assessing Bai Tianyong.
"Manor Lord You is too kind," Bai Tianyong cupped his hands and smiled, "My brother is not around these days, so he couldn't personally welcome you. I hope you will forgive his absence."
"I am unworthy of such praise," You Longsheng said, "The Hall of the Divine Blade has many affairs to manage, and even if White Brother had come to greet us, I would still be overwhelmed by your hospitality."
Bai Tianyong breathed a sigh of relief, "Please, Brother You, and you two ladies as well."
Thus, You Longsheng and his companions followed Bai Tianyong out of the city, circumvented a small hill, and arrived at the Hall of the Divine Blade, which was built halfway up the mountain.
You Longsheng gazed at the majestic architecture before him and couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.
Twenty years later, the Hall of the Divine Blade would cease to exist, and these buildings would be leveled, leaving only the tomb of Bai Tianyu and Bai Tianyong's family in the vast grassland as a testament to the Makang tribe's deception.
"Second brother, have you brought the guests?"
As the crisp voice rang out, a stunning woman dressed in a bright red silk robe and adorned in the fashion of the grasslands swept over like a whirlwind.
Upon reaching them, she halted and sized up Ding Baiyun and Lan Yueyi before fixing her gaze on You Longsheng. She placed her hand on her chest and bowed slightly, "Amur greets the esteemed guests."
Bai Tianyong introduced her, "This is my wife, Amur, which means 'peace'."
You Longsheng was truly surprised to discover that Bai Tianyong's wife was a woman from another tribe.
"Nice to meet you, Sister-in-law."
Although Bai Tianyong was already used to his wife's bold displays of affection, it usually happened in front of people they were familiar with. Now, in front of You Longsheng, whom they had just met, he still felt a bit embarrassed.
"It's alright, I've changed my goal."
You Longsheng pointed at Ding Baiyun and then at Lan Yueyi, "I just want to be the dream lover of these two beautiful ladies."
Spreading dog food, huh? Who can't do that!
Amur's eyes lit up, "They are indeed two beautiful girls, and I heard that they are also very talented. You're quite capable, even your big brother..."
Bai Tianyong couldn't help but cover his forehead, interrupting Amur's words, "Where's my sister-in-law?"
Amur stuck out her tongue and then pointed to the hall behind her, "Your sister-in-law is already waiting. She asked me to come out and welcome you."
"Okay." Bai Tianyong nodded quickly and said to You Longsheng and the others, "Actually, when my brother is not around, my sister-in-law handles a lot of matters."
You Longsheng nodded, "I've long heard that Madame Bai is as capable as any man, and even White Master respects her greatly."
Bai Tianyong's gaze towards You Longsheng became strange, "How did you hear that my sister-in-law is as capable as any man?"
You Longsheng blinked.
Although this Madame Bai didn't even have a name in the original story, her abilities were by no means insignificant.
Not to mention Peach Blossom Madam, who could only play in low-end leagues, but whether it was Hua Baiyun ( White Cloud Hua)
or Ding Baiyun (White Cloud Ding)
, they were both rare female experts in the martial arts world, and their family backgrounds were by no means weak.
One was the eldest princess of the Demon Sect outside the pass, and the other was the young lady of the Ding family in Hebei.
But neither of them could replace Madame Bai's position in Bai Tianyu's heart, and Shen Sanniang even said in the original story that Bai Tianyu was three parts fearful of his wife.
It must be known that Shen Sanniang was Hua Bai Feng's personal maid, and she knew Bai Tianyu very well, so she wouldn't talk nonsense.
And this Madame Bai was actually able to bypass Bai Tianyu and replace Ye Kai by switching him out from Hua Bai Phoenix's side. If Ye Frau hadn't told Ye Kai the secret on her deathbed, and Ye Kai hadn't revealed it in front of everyone, perhaps no one would have ever imagined it.
For such a woman, You Longsheng could only describe her as a "heroic woman", and he couldn't think of any other adjectives.
But the moment You Longsheng stepped into the hall, he realized how wrong he was.
Madame Bai was waiting in the hall. She wasn't particularly beautiful, but her eyes were calm and her smile was elegant. Just one glance was enough to tell that she had a graceful and gentle temperament.
She was a very feminine woman, and the phrase "heroic woman" didn't suit her at all.
But it was this kind of woman who had won over a heroic and romantic man like Bai Tianyu, making him afraid to bring any other women home.
This was a perfect example of how gentleness could overcome strength.
Madame Bai smiled and bowed slightly, "Welcome to the Hall of the Divine Blade."
The next moment, a hearty laugh rang out, getting closer, "You Longsheng has come to the Hall of the Divine Blade? Welcome, welcome! Have you found any traces of Long Xiao Yun?"
