Therefore, the Bai Family’s status in Sky Fortune City wasn’t considered too outstanding
However, there had actually been an anorandchildren, that would be Bai Yuanpei’s granddaughter, Bai Jingyun She had actually been born with an arade talent
Bai Jingyun’s father was a mortal with no talent or cultivation in martial arts As for her rade yun to be born with such a martial talent, it could be considered a precious miracle
But, when Bai Jingyun was 15, her princess-like life had suddenly ended
This was because Ouyang Dihua, who had been travelling, had taken a fancy to Bai Jingyun’s exquisite beauty and outstanding talent, and he decided to marry her as a concubine
The Bai Fa Dihua had directly approached the Emperor, and the Emperor had then passed down an Imperial Decree This was an ironclad order, how could Bai Yuanpei refuse? Ouyang Dihua’s power and influence was greater than the Emperors Even if it was the Ehter as an imperial concubine, theDihua’s uncle was an Elder of the Seven Profound Valleys If his uncle wished, he could dethrone the current Emperor and install a new one in his stead
So Bai Yuanpei had no choice to coly opposed this Who kne hter to that bastard was si her into a fiery pit!
However, no matter how e his decision
Bai Jingyun’s father was only a frail, weak scholar His body hadn’t been healthy to begin with, and he had been bedridden for years All of stress happened to catch up with him, and he suddenly passed away
According to the traditions of Sky Fortune Kingdom, once the father dies, their children had to live in a small hut for 100 days, and then ations Ouyang Dihua had wanted tothis news he could not break custoed out
Now, theDihua had actually come to Sky Fortune City as the current Seven profound Envoy This caused Bai Jingyun to feel an absolute despair take root in her heart
Before Ouyang Dihua had becodom’s Seven Profound Envoy, the Bai Family had been unable to resist hi occupied the position of Seven Profound Envoy, his status was equal to that of an overlord Bai Yuanpei was only a sined
Bai Jingyun had used adventuring as an excuse to leave, and had already hidden away for more than a month Now, she had helplessly come back in order to face her unavoidable destiny
She hadn’t gone to the Martial House for several days Most of the tiyun had washed herself, someone knocked on her door
“Jingyun, may I come in?”
It was Bai Yuanpei’s voice
Bai Jingyun sighed For the farandfather had pushed her into this situation She didn’t hate or despise him, but she didn’t hold much sentiment for him either
Especially after her father had died, her attitude towards Bai Yuanpei was even colder
“Coyun calmly said
“Jingyun, have you had breakfast yet?” Bai Yuanpei said as he walked in He tried to suilty conscience
“I don’t have an appetite”
“You still have to eat a little I’ll have the kitchenand send it in for you”
“There’s no need I have to rest for a while” Today, Bai Jingyun really did not want to talk to Bai Yuanpei, because she didn’t want to knohy Bai Yuanpei came here for
“Well… ” Bai Yuanpei aardly coughed, “I know about the e… ”
“You don’t need to say anyyun’s voice was desolate and bleak Marriage was just a nice way of putting it According to the custodo, only a proper and legitimate wife could be e Even the Emperor’s imperial concubine was not considered married
Bai Jingyun knehat the reality of the situation was It was irandfather, as just a little vice-ainst the Seven Profound Envoy
Bai Yuanpei’s words stuck in his throat He could only hollowly laugh “That… after another half a hness the Cloud Prince, has decided to hold a banquet at his palace Mm… this is the invitation… ”
Bai Yuanpei bitterly shook his head as he pulled a gilded invitation card out of his chest pocket
Bai Jingyun glanced at the card She could able to guess that at the Cloud Prince’s banquet, he would also have invite Ouyang Dihua The Tenth Prince had already attained the unofficial support of Ouyang Dihua As for the Crown Prince, because Lin Ming had left without speaking, his reputation and prestige had experienced a large drop Those forces that were taking a wait-and-see attitude had already turned towards the Tenth Prince
“I won’t go!” Bai Jingyun icily said
“But, Jingyun… ”
“I have already said that I will mourn etables For three years, I hite For three years, I will notDihua! If you force me to, I would rather die!”
Bai Jingyun spoke this with an unwaveringly adayun was too short-sighted Not only would he lose his granddaughter, but he would also provoke the anger of Ouyang Dihua
He quickly said, “Jingyun, calo I’ll just report to his highness the Cloud Prince and…”
As Bai Yuanpei spoke, a sound trans talisman suddenly lit up in front of hie that was transmitted
Ouyang Dihua… was actually… dead!?
