Tang Ming led Liu ngting and others up the steps, into the grand hall at Bai Yun’s enthusiastic invitation, and they sat down in order of importance.
"Mr. Tang saved my life, I really don’t know how to thank you enough," Bai Yun said with a grateful expression, bowing to Tang Ming after so polite conversation.
"I was entrusted by soone to accomplish this task. It’s the right thing to do," Tang Ming smiled calmly as he sat in the chair.
"Master, I acted on my own and promised Mr. Tang that if he could save you, I would marry him," Bai Feifei said, her face blushing and shy, "Now that Master has recovered, please arrange for to be married to Mr. Tang to repay his life-saving grace."
Hearing this, the corner of Tang Ming’s mouth twitched, and he moved his lips, wanting to refuse.
"Good, good, this..." Hearing this, Bai Yun was overjoyed. To be able to associate with such a high-level figure was a blessing for the Heavenly Cloud Palace, and it was rare for Bai Feifei to be so proactive. Naturally, she was more than willing.
"No!" Before Tang Ming could speak, Li Xiaoli jumped up: "He already has a girlfriend, he cannot marry another person."
"Hahaha, what does that matter? In the Jianghu, people don’t stick to formalities, especially a hero like Mr. Tang, who is so skilled. Having three or four wives is normal. My little disciple is willing to be his concubine and won’t mind other things."
Seeing how traditional Bai Yun’s views were, Liu ngting and the others were dumbfounded. To even accept being a concubine, wasn’t the concept of love among martial artists too chaotic?
"I don’t..." Seeing the situation, Tang Ming quickly opened his mouth. If he didn’t make things clear now, it would be very difficult to wrap things up later.
"What’s wrong with you people from the Heavenly Cloud Palace? Bai Lingxiao insisted on promising Bai Feifei to my cousin before he died, and now you want to marry her to him too. This is too troubleso!" Li Xiaoli shouted again.
Hearing this, Tang Ming closed his eyes, almost fainting. Li Xiaoli was truly a god of pits.
Liu ngting and the others also looked at Li Xiaoli speechlessly. This was definitely the legendary pig teammate.
"What! Lingxiao had such a wish before he died? Then as his master, I must help fulfill his wish," Bai Yun said decisively, "Since Mr. Tang agreed to Lingxiao’s marriage arrangent, he surely won’t go back on his word. Today, as the Palace Master of the Heavenly Cloud Palace, I officially announce that Bai Feifei will be your... concubine from now on."
"What? How could this happen?" Li Xiaoli was dumbfounded, as if her intelligence had again run out.
"Xiaoli, stop talking," Liu ngting pulled Li Xiaoli back to her chair with an annoyed expression. Right now, Li Xiaoli was definitely a professional teammate fail.
"Cough, cough. Let’s discuss the marriage afterward. Feifei and I are both too young, and I’m still in school, so it’s not appropriate to talk about marriage now." Tang Ming coughed twice. Because of Bai Lingxiao, he had no choice but to use the ultimate move from Tang’s martial arts: stalling!
Every day delayed is a day earned!
"Palace Master, my ti here is limited. Let’s talk about the current situation of the Heavenly Cloud Palace and how to keep the palace safe from the Ming Group," Tang Ming changed the topic again.
"Hahaha, that problem is already solved," Bai Yun laughed cunningly, "I heard that Mr. Tang is the Group Leader of the Martial Arts Inspection Team under the Dark Group. Now that you are Feifei’s husband, you count as a disciple of the Heavenly Cloud Palace. As the Master’s sect of the Group Leader from the Dark Group, even the Ming Group has no right to annex us."
"Damn, this is another trap for ." Tang Ming’s mouth twitched, finally understanding why Bai Yun and Bai Feifei were so insistent on associating with him. It turns out they were digging a pit here.
"That’s indeed a good solution," Tang Ming sighed. He originally planned to integrate the Heavenly Cloud Palace into the Dark Group’s jurisdiction to deal with the Ming Group. Now, this situation saved a lot of trouble.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Tang," Bai Feifei said joyfully, bowing to Tang Ming, her face blushing again, not daring to make eye contact with him.
"It’s infuriating!" Li Xiaoli fud, seeing Bai Feifei and Tang Ming "flirting."
"It’s all your fault," Liu ngting sighed, giving Li Xiaoli a look of helplessness.
Xia Wei’er and Chen Cang nodded in agreent. They all knew Tang Ming was a man of his word. If it was just Bai Yun’s decree and Bai Feifei’s promise, Tang Ming would definitely refuse directly. But bringing Bai Lingxiao into it made it hard for Tang Ming to refuse outright, out of respect and commitnt to the deceased.
"Brother Tang Ming, since everything is settled, can we go back now?" Li Xiaoli, both angry and embarrassed by her own "touching" intelligence on the mountain, grumbled.
"No need to rush. Since you’ve co to the Heavenly Cloud Palace, why not stay a few days to appreciate its culture and scenery," Bai Yun said hastily, trying to keep them.
"Yes, Senior Brother Tang, you must be tired after traveling from Wanyou Town. Why not rest on the mountain for a few days before leaving?" Bai Feifei looked at Tang Ming with reluctance.
"No way. Our rented horses are tied at the foot of the mountain and must be returned before sunset. Plus, our luggage is at the inn. We can’t stay here overnight," Li Xiaoli quickly interjected. The won were all set on devouring Tang Ming. Staying overnight could lead to countless little Tangs soon.
Liu ngting also didn’t want Bai Feifei to have too much contact with Tang Ming, so she supported Li Xiaoli’s suggestion.
Tang Ming also didn’t want to stay on the mountain, so he finally declined Bai Yun’s hospitality, left his phone number and contact information in Songlan City, and prepared to leave the Heavenly Cloud Palace.
Before leaving, Tang Ming ntioned Bai Lingxiao’s purchase of the Secret Technique Fragnt, asking Bai Yun if she could give it to him for safekeeping.
Bai Yun didn’t mind at all. Her poison was already cured, caused by Poison. The Secret Technique Fragnt was of no use.
Finally, Tang Ming transferred a billion to Bai Yun as paynt for the fragnt since Bai Lingxiao bought it. Taking it for free didn’t seem right, and the money was his token of goodwill to the Heavenly Cloud Palace.
Bai Yun modestly refused but eventually accepted it, saying, "Well, fine, I’ll take it as Feifei’s dowry."
"Whatever..." Tang Ming’s mouth twitched, speechless.
With Bai Yun unwell and unable to descend the mountain, Bai Feifei and so disciples from the Heavenly Cloud Palace escorted Tang Ming and his group to the foot of the mountain. Bai Feifei watched them leave, feeling very reluctant.
