Upon hearing Xiao Ze's voice, Niu Gao's expression changed drastically.
"Old goat, don't talk nonsense!" Niu Gao reminded him.
Seeing Niu Gao like this, Yang Wudi didn't speak further.
Bai Chenxiang was somewhat surprised to see Xiao Ze emerge; he was a young man who didn't seem much older than herself.
Mainly, he was truly handsome.
It was her first time seeing such a handsome man, and she felt a stir in her heart at first sight.
She was smitten.
Xiao Ze scanned the crowd, his gaze lingering on Bai Chenxiang for five seconds.
She was dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, accentuating her slender figure, with a waist so delicate it seemed one could grasp it with a single hand.
Her long purple hair was styled into a high ponytail, with two stray strands gently brushing her collarbone.
Her skin was incredibly fair and tender, with faint blue veins subtly visible.
Most striking were her eyes, which held a somewhat domineering look.
"He is?" Yang Wudi asked.
"Xiao Ze, the Spirit Hall Saint Son, and also the champion of this All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament," Niu Gao introduced.
Yang Wudi was somewhat surprised; he was actually the Spirit Hall Saint Son.
And seeing Niu Gao's demeanor, it seemed he had already cooperated with this Saint Son, and had even joined Spirit Hall.
"Spirit Hall Saint Son, I heard you were originally from the Heaven Dou Empire. Why did you join Spirit Hall?" Bai He asked.
"What's so hard to understand about that? Spirit Hall is strong enough to accomplish what I need to accomplish," Xiao Ze said.
"Then aren't you afraid that people from the Heaven Dou Empire will condemn you?" Bai He asked with some curiosity.
In his opinion, Xiao Ze was a genius cultivated by the Heaven Dou Empire, yet such a genius actually joined Spirit Hall directly after the Soul Master Competition.
Isn't that a traitor?
"A good bird chooses its tree to nest in, and a wise minister chooses his lord to serve. Furthermore, I, Xiao Ze, can swear to Heaven that during my time at Tian Dou Royal Academy, I never used any resources from the Heaven Dou Empire; at most, I stayed in a room.
Clan Leader Niu Gao can testify to this; I simply don't need the Heaven Dou Empire's resources," Xiao Ze said earnestly.
He still needed a bit of a reputation.
Otherwise, if his reputation affected his plan to become a god, it would be a huge loss.
He would probably need to whip Emperor Xue Ye's corpse to relieve the hatred in his heart.
Niu Gao nodded: "That's true, His Highness the Saint Son doesn't even care for those resources of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Old goat, you are obsessed with refining various medicines. His Highness the Saint Son has good things here; if you can refine these into medicines, your name will probably resound throughout the continent, and at least within Spirit Hall, your status will be extraordinary."
Yang Wudi was curious upon hearing this: "What things?"
Niu Gao didn't answer, but instead looked at Xiao Ze.
If Xiao Ze didn't allow him to speak, he certainly wouldn't.
Although Niu Gao wasn't very clever, he was smart enough.
Xiao Ze nodded slightly.
Then Niu Gao excitedly pulled Yang Wudi away.
Bai He was bewildered; they just left him here alone?
"His Highness the Saint Son, do you intend to subdue our four single-attribute clans?" Bai He asked.
"Three, the Strength Clan, I certainly won't want them."
"Indeed, Tai Tan and his people wouldn't agree, they're too stubborn," Bai He nodded.
"How about it? Clan Leader Bai He, do you want to join Spirit Hall? As long as you join Spirit Hall, your Speed Clan won't need to worry about money, and it can even allow your Speed Clan to develop rapidly," Xiao Ze said.
Bai He pondered for a moment and didn't answer directly: "I'll consider it."
Xiao Ze nodded; he knew Bai He wanted to wait for Yang Wudi.
If Yang Wudi agreed, Bai He would most likely agree.
After all, the Speed Clan was a clan with little combat power.
So, to thrive in Spirit Hall, they would need the protection of the Breaking Clan and the Defense Clan.
The Defense Clan had already joined Spirit Hall, and only Yang Wudi was left.
Xiao Ze then looked at Bai Chenxiang: "Is this your granddaughter?"
"Yes, my granddaughter, Bai Chenxiang. Xiangxiang, greet him."
Bai Chenxiang stepped forward, bowing slightly: "Bai Chenxiang greets His Highness the Saint Son."
"To have the strength of a Spirit Grandmaster at this age, while not very strong, is already quite good for your Speed Clan."
"In these past decades, Xiangxiang has been the most talented in our clan," Bai He nodded.
"It's a pity that your Speed Clan's inherited Spirit, to put it plainly, has its uses, especially on the battlefield, but outside of the battlefield, its utility isn't very great."
The Needle Tailed Swift of the Speed Clan was a pure agility-type Spirit, essentially having no combat power.
It mainly relied on its extremely fast speed for reconnaissance.
But in everyday life, it truly had no use.
This also led to the Speed Clan being terribly poor after leaving the Clear Sky Sect, to the point where they couldn't even support their own clan members.
Fortunately, other single-attribute clans helped out, otherwise, people would have starved to death, let alone cultivated.
Bai He fell silent.
But Bai Chenxiang was displeased.
"Although our Speed Clan's Needle Tailed Swift isn't a top-tier Spirit, its speed is unmatched even by those top-tier Spirits! How can you say it's so useless!"
"Xiangxiang," Bai He pulled her.
"It's true."
Xiao Ze looked at her with amusement: "Then your Speed Clan is practically starving to death?"
This single sentence directly silenced both Bai He and Bai Chenxiang.
Especially Bai Chenxiang, she was stunned.
She had expected Xiao Ze to refute her with other arguments, but she didn't expect him to deliver a killing blow right away.
When their Speed Clan first left the Clear Sky Sect, things were alright, but after a few years, their savings ran out.
However, they didn't have many ways to earn money; after all, they didn't have much offensive capability, so no one would seek out their Speed Clan.
"I admit that our Speed Clan's Spirit isn't very suitable for certain aspects, but that doesn't mean our Spirit isn't powerful!" Bai Chenxiang said.
"Then your Speed Clan is practically starving to death?"
"Can't you say something else!"
"Then your Speed Clan is practically starving to death?"
Bai He's mouth twitched; are you really the Spirit Hall Saint Son?
Can you only say that one sentence?
Bai Chenxiang was also being driven crazy by Xiao Ze.
"Ah!!! Can't you say something else?"
"I'm being very clear. You can't even support your own clan members, let alone anything else.
You must know that survival is the most basic thing.
If you can't even do that, your Spirit is trash."
"You..." Bai Chenxiang wanted to say something else, but Bai He stopped her.
"His Highness the Saint Son is right. If we can't even support our clan members, no matter how powerful the Spirit is, it's useless." Bai He still had some sense.
"Hahaha... How about it?"
