Chapter 25 The Baili Family

At this moment, many people walked out of the hall: Madam Xuanhua, Wu Xuanshuang, Wu Qingshuang, accompanied

by an old man in a green robe and two young men in brocade robes. Only Wu Tianjiao didn't recognize the old man in the green robe and the two

young men in brocade robes. Wu Hongshuang's expression changed upon seeing them; she was quite surprised. The old man and the two young men were none other than her husband's family

. The old man in the green robe was her father-in-law, Baili Changkong, and the two young men were Baili Changkong

's two sons. The older one was called Baili Guxing, Wu Hongshuang's husband, and the younger one was called Baili Guyun, the second son of the Baili family.

The Baili family of Lingnan was the leading martial arts family in the Divine Eagle Empire. Its status and prestige in the martial arts world

rivaled of the Five Palaces. The family head, Baili Changkong, known as "Breaking the Cauldrons and Sinking the Boats," was a top-tier

expert comparable to the masters of the Five Palaces.

Baili Changkong, true to his name, acts with reckless abandon and unwavering determination, his actions as

unpredictable and erratic as a wild horse, leaving others bewildered and unable to fathom his intentions. For instance, to secure his family's interests and forge an alliance with the Wu family, he arranged for his son

, Baili Guxing, to marry Wu Wudi's daughter, Wu Hongshuang. Everyone knew Wu Hongshuang had been married before, had caused the deaths of her ex-husband's family, and had a bad

reputation Baili Changkong to arrange for his son to marry a widow seemed utterly unbelievable to

most. Of course, those with common sense could guess that Baili Changkong did this to further solidify his position

within the powerful Wu family.

As the saying goes, it's good to rest in the shade of a large tree. As it turned out, Baili Changkong's decision was wise. In the two years since the marriage alliance

, the Baili family's power and prestige had grown exponentially, making them the third most powerful martial arts force in the Divine Eagle Empire, after Tongtian Palace and

Qiankun Palace.

"Father-in-law! Uncle! What brings you here?"

Wu Hongshuang asked in surprise. After marrying Baili Guxing, she did not return to Lingnan, but instead lived in

the Baili family branch in the capital. She loved the bustling and prosperous capital and did not want to leave.

Baili Changkong smiled and nodded, saying, "We came to see you and have something to discuss with our in-laws!"

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Wu Tianjiao, saying, "This is my uncle. He is indeed handsome.

Congratulations, Your Highness, on gaining a son!"

"That's right! That's right!"

Wu Wudi smiled and said calmly, turning to Wu Hongshuang, "Hongshuang! It's rare for our father-in-law and uncle to come.

You don't need to go to the engagement ceremony of the Xiao and Lu families. Stay home and keep them company. I'm hosting a welcome dinner for our in-laws."

Wu Hongshuang dared not disobey and nodded in agreement. Her eyes darted around, and she said, "Father! Sister Hanshuang... she

's back !"

What? Wu Wudi was shocked and stunned upon hearing this. Lady Xuanhua and the others were also taken aback. Wu Qingshuang

asked, "Eldest sister is back! Where is she?"

Wu Hongshuang replied, "Chonghua Palace!"

Chonghua Palace? Wu Wudi and Lady Xuanhua exchanged a glance, their expressions changing slightly. Lady Xuanhua asked, "When did she

return? Why didn't the guards report to us?"

Seeing this, Wu Tianjiao couldn't remain silent and hurriedly stepped forward, saying, "It's like this, I went to the street this morning

and met Eldest Sister Hanshuang. Eldest Sister Hanshuang and I entered the palace through the back gate and went to Chonghua Palace!"

Wu Xuanshuang asked curiously, "How do you know Eldest Sister Hanshuang? Have you met her before?"

"It's like this!"

Wu Tianjiao had no choice but to explain the conflict between Wu Hanshuang and Cao Wenrong on the street.

Oh, I see. Everyone suddenly understood. Wu Wudi's face darkened, and he said, "This girl,

she didn't even ! She never gives me a moment's peace!"

He then stared at Wu Tianjiao and asked, "Why didn't you say anything?"

What? Wu Tianjiao, puzzled, asked blankly, "What did you say?"

"You..." Wu Wudi, seeing the boy feigning ignorance, was so angry he wanted to slap him. He snorted and

patiently asked, "Why didn't you come to tell us that Han Shuang had returned?"

Oh! Wu Tianjiao suddenly realized, "My elder sister seems... not to like Father knowing she's back, so

I didn't say anything!"

"Not to like!"

Wu Wudi was taken aback, subconsciously glancing at Madam Xuanhua. Madam Xuanhua smiled and said, "Today is truly

a double celebration! Our in-laws have arrived, and Han Shuang has returned! Princess! Everyone, don't stand outside,

let's talk . Hong Shuang, go and call your elder sister over so she can meet our in-laws!"

Wu Hong Shuang agreed and turned to leave.

Wu Tianjiao wanted to follow Wu Hongshuang, but Baili Changkong grabbed him, laughing, "Third

Young Master ! Don't rush off! Come, come! Let me introduce you. These are my two good-for-nothing sons, Gu Xing

and Gu Yun. You young people should get to know each other better!"

Unable to shake him off, Wu Tianjiao could only smile and bow to Baili Gu Xing and Baili Gu Yun, saying, "Brother-in-law, hello

! Brother Yun, hello!"

Baili Gu Xing and Baili Gu Yun smiled and nodded at him, then took his arm on either side. Baili Gu Yun

said with a smile , "Uncle, hello! Let's go inside and have a good chat!"

With that, the two brothers led Wu Tianjiao into the hall. Wu Wudi frowned slightly upon seeing this; although he felt

somewhat displeased, he didn't say anything.

Upon entering the hall, Wu Tianjiao discovered two rows of tables on either side, each occupied by a large number of people.

Almost all the unmarried young ladies of the Wu family were present,

including Wu Yueshuang, Wu Jinshuang, Wu Yinshuang, Wu Yushuang, and Wu Liushuang, as well as Wu Saiying and her daughter. Among them was a strikingly beautiful young woman in white, seated next to Ling Xiaofeng

.

The Baili brothers led Wu Tianjiao to the young woman in white. Baili Guyun pointed at her and said with a smile, "

Uncle ! Let me introduce you. This is my sister, Feixue. Isn't she beautiful?"

He spoke with obvious pride. Indeed, Baili Feixue was as cold and beautiful as snow, her beauty no less than that of

Ling . The two women together resembled two proud plum blossoms in the snow. If Wu Hanshuang were to sit with them, it would

be even more beautiful.

Upon hearing her brother's words, Baili Feixue immediately understood that the young man before her was Wu Tianjiao, the third young master of the Wu family .

She rose and bowed slightly, saying, "Greetings, Third Young Master!"

As she spoke, she kept glancing at Wu Tianjiao.

After the two exchanged greetings, they sat down in the main hall. It was noon, the time for lunch, but Wu Hanshuang

hadn't arrived, so Wu Wudi didn't rush to serve the dishes. After waiting a while, Wu Hongshuang arrived and said upon entering, "Father!"

"Your Highness! Sister Han Shuang has gone out!"

"Gone! Where did she go?"

Wu Wudi asked.

Wu Hongshuang said, "She probably went to see Second Brother!"

Wu Wudi suddenly realized and said, "Since she's not here, let's not wait for her. We can't let our father-in-law go hungry. Serve the food!

"

Upon hearing the order, the steward of the mansion immediately ordered the servants to serve the food. In an instant, the hall became lively. Servants

kept coming in and out, and fine wines and delicacies were brought out one after another, filling the long table. Baili

Changkong seemed to intentionally pull Wu Tianjiao to sit next to him, looking him up and down and scrutinizing him, making Wu Tianjiao feel uneasy. He muttered to himself, "Could Baili Changkong be a pedophile ?" 　　If Baili Changkong knew Wu Tianjiao's filthy thoughts, he would definitely be furious. He had his own plans and purposes for looking at Wu Tianjiao. 　　After several rounds of drinks and pleasantries, Baili Changkong smiled and said to Wu Wudi, "Your Highness! Your Highness, I find the Third Young Master quite pleasing to the eye . May I ask how old he is this year?" 　　He knew the answer already; he had known everything about Wu Tianjiao before coming to the capital. 　　Although Wu Wudi disliked Wu Tianjiao somewhat, he had no choice but to go along with Baili Changkong's question, replying , "Twelve years old—almost thirteen, I suppose!" 　　Baili Changkong chuckled and said, "Almost thirteen, that's quite a lot. Your Highness, have you found a wife for the Third Young Master yet?"
