At the entrance of the Min Clan's mansion,
twelve people stood, ten arranged in pairs on either side.
Standing in the center
were an old man and a young girl.
The old man was tall and slender, yet remarkably well-proportioned, with a rosy complexion like a baby's and long, snow-white hair flowing down his back.
He was Bai He, the patriarch of the Min Clan.
The girl standing beside Bai He appeared to be about the same age as Xiao Wu and the other girls.
She was tall and slender, with extremely beautiful features. Although slightly thin, her beauty was only slightly less striking than Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing.
Her eyes held a hint of arrogance as she clung to Bai He's arm, her beautiful eyes darting around curiously at the grand spectacle.
Even at gatherings with the other three clans, the Min Clan had never displayed such pomp.
Bai Chenxiang, clinging to Bai He's arm, grew somewhat impatient.
"Grandpa, we've been waiting for so long, who are we waiting for?"
"We're waiting for distinguished guests from the three upper sects. Xiangxiang, don't be impolite later."
Bai He stroked his long beard.
For so many years, Ning Fengzhi had never visited. What was the purpose of his visit?
"Distinguished guests from the three upper sects?"
Bai Chenxiang frowned. Suddenly, space in the open area in front of the gate tore open.
Bai Chenxiang immediately tugged at her grandfather.
"Grandpa, look! What's going on there?"
"Xiangxiang, don't be rude! Distinguished guests have arrived."
Bai He stared intently at the opened spatial portal. He knew that in the entire Soul Master world, only the Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School possessed this ability.
Under the watchful eyes of the Min Clan and others,
Ning Fengzhi, along with Ye Qiu, Sword Douluo, and Poison Douluo—four people in total—safely stepped onto the Min Clan's territory.
Ye Qiu immediately spotted the Bai He grandfather and granddaughter standing out from the crowd.
At this moment, Bai He had released Bai Chenxiang and was approaching Ning Fengzhi.
"Sect Leader Ning, it's been over ten years since we last met."
"Haha, Clan Leader Bai, you're still as energetic as ever after all these years."
Ning Fengzhi returned the greeting. After
exchanging a few polite words with Ning Fengzhi, Bai He looked at Sword Douluo with a respectful expression.
"Your Majesty, Bai He greets you."
"Clan Leader Bai, no need for such formalities."
Sword Douluo smiled and glanced at Bai Chenxiang behind him, secretly shaking his head. It seemed this person was definitely one of his own.
Before Bai He
could ask anything, Ning Fengzhi preemptively introduced them.
"Clan Leader Bai, this is the Poison Douluo, the Poison King of the World."
"This young man is named Ye Qiu, the Lord of the Soul Palace."
Upon hearing Dugu Bo's name, Bai He quickly paid his respects, and then heard Ning Fengzhi's introduction of Ye Qiu.
Regarding the name of the Soul Palace...
He was momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered. Since he didn't know what the Soul Palace was, and the other party was only about the same age as his granddaughter, even if they were related to Ning Fengzhi, addressing them as "young friend" wouldn't be wrong.
"Young friend Ye Qiu, you are indeed accomplished at such a young age."
"Clan Chief Bai flatters me."
Ye Qiu didn't take this seriously; his cultivation level was something even a Title Douluo might not be able to discern.
Bai He turned to Bai Chenxiang and instructed, "Xiangxiang, quickly greet the distinguished guests."
Bai Chenxiang nodded slightly.
She glanced curiously at the handsome and noble-looking Ye Qiu, equally curious about the identity of the Soul Palace Master.
She stepped forward and bowed to Ning Fengzhi and the others.
"Junior Bai Chenxiang of the Min Clan greets all seniors."
"No need for formalities."

Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly.
"Hmph!"
Bai Chenxiang glanced at Ye Qiu as she stood up. Seeing him smile at her, she assumed Ye Qiu also regarded her as a senior. She
immediately snorted coldly.
Ye Qiu chuckled.
Bai Chenxiang was indeed very beautiful, a girl with purple twin ponytails, and quite arrogant.
Ye Qiu didn't care at all about her not greeting him and showing displeasure.
Thinking that he might have to use his Sharingan to seduce her later ,
Ye Qiu felt a little guilty.
"Xiangxiang!"
Bai He scolded.
"Sect Master Ning, Your Majesty, Xiangxiang is still young and doesn't know the rules. Don't take it to heart. Please follow me."
"It's alright. It's good for young boys and girls to have some energy."
Ning Fengzhi smiled gently.
Compared to his own little devil, he viewed the other children with a filter.
Besides, Bai Chenxiang would become good friends with his daughter in the future.
Thinking of this...
Ning Fengzhi suddenly felt a pang of liver pain. The dignified young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was actually forced to serve the same man alongside so many girls.
But the thought that this man was Ye Qiu, and that those girls were also geniuses, made Ning Fengzhi feel much better.
Dugu Bo's idea was even simpler and more direct.
No matter how Ye Qiu looked, they would all have to call him "Grandpa."
Even more... hehe,
the young Ning Fengzhi next to him and that old dragon from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were both a generation below him, practically his sons!
The group didn't say much at the entrance.
Soon, following the white crane's guidance, they walked into the mansion. Once inside, Ye Qiu realized that the main gate was probably the most impressive part of the Min Clan.
Although he already knew that the Min Clan lacked offensive power and had no good means of livelihood, and that its members were arrogant,
making them the most difficult of the four single-attribute clans to survive, often needing aid from the other three,
Ye Qiu hadn't expected them to be in such dire straits.
The landscaping inside the mansion consisted of transplanted grass and roadside trees, and the stone slabs on the road were uneven and lacked replacement.
In some places, the eaves were practically collapsing; it was practically a dangerous building.
If it hadn't been built by the Yu Clan, it would have collapsed long ago.
Ning Fengzhi and the other two only glanced at it briefly.
Ye Qiu, however, surveyed his surroundings, occasionally glancing at things that surprised him.
He sighed inwardly, "No wonder." In the original story, when Titan and Niu Gao played him, saying they couldn't help the Min Clan anymore due to their own difficulties, he lost his composure, and later, because of the bet of one hundred gold soul coins, he was heartbroken. They
were indeed poor.
As he was looking around, Ye Qiu suddenly noticed an unfriendly gaze directed at him. He
looked up and saw
Bai Chenxiang beside him.
She was frowning and glaring at him.
She felt that Ye Qiu's constant staring at her dilapidated home meant he looked down on the Min Clan.
Ye Qiu smiled slightly at her.
Bai Chenxiang snorted coldly, flicked her twin ponytails, and ignored Ye Qiu. Just because
he's handsome doesn't mean he's all that; she wasn't buying it.
Soon,
the group arrived at a large hall. They took
their seats in turn. Given the Min clan's resources, there were no maids, so Bai Chenxiang took on the task of serving tea.
