Peerless Taoist

Even though the experts of the Bai Family had all been defeated, Bai Zhiqing still maintained her pride as a noble concubine. She looked at Lu Yu calmly and spoke in a cold voice.    

"Aunt, I think you misunderstood me." Bai Suqing frowned.    

She knew very well how powerful this aunt was. Once she had made up her mind, it would be very difficult to change her opinion.    

However, Lu Yu was already the emperor of Great Qin, the most powerful person in the world. She did not expect Bai Zhiqing to still not take a fancy to him.    

"Why would I misunderstand? He is the young man you met in the lower realm. He has grown to this extent and is indeed very outstanding. However, you have to remember that you are the young lady of the Great Oriental White Tiger Family, the descendant of the four great divine beasts. We have our own family rules, so we cannot marry a lowly kid like him," Bai Zhiqing said coldly.    

"Who I want to marry does not need the family's opinion!"    

Bai Suqing said in a deep voice, "The family took me in back then because I was grateful. However, I have also made many contributions to the family over the years. I don't owe the family anything. Aunt, if you really treat me well, then don't interfere with me!"    

As soon as Bai Suqing finished speaking, it was as if a flame had been lit in her heart, directly igniting the anger in Bai Zhiqing's heart.    

"Alright! Alright! Alright! Now that you have obtained the inheritance of the White Tiger, your wings have grown hard, right? You dare to talk to me like that! "    

Bai Zhiqing was immediately enraged.    

She was Bai Suqing's senior and the patriarch of the Bai Family, so she was quite strict with Bai Suqing.    

Bai Suqing had a simple personality and did not like to fight with others, so she had always listened to Bai Zhiqing's words.    

However, this time, Bai Zhiqing miscalculated.    

She never would have thought that the usually gentle Bai Suqing would actually dare to refute her in front of her.    

Bai Suqing said indifferently, "Aunt, now that things have come to this, do you really think that I don't know anything?"    

"Your Majesty originally gave me the title of Princess, but you forcefully stopped me. In the end, I was downgraded to a princess. Because if I was a princess, I would have my own princess residence, and the Orthodox Temple would protect me. At that time, you would not be able to control me."    

"To a cultivator, isn't it very important? You know that, but you still forcefully made me give out my true blood to supply to the other members of the family for cultivation. You only know how to nurture the strong of the family, but have you ever paid attention to me?"    

"Most of the maids around me are here to monitor me and prevent me from escaping. It's rare for me to have a maid that can speak, so you took advantage of the time when I was heading to the Kunlun Secret Realm to forcefully marry her to a scoundrel. Have you ever treated me as your family's junior?"    

Bai Zhiqing's face was ashen as she looked at Bai Suqing in disbelief.    

This girl who she had once casually controlled, actually dared to refute her in front of her.    

"I think you are going against me. Do you really think that you can speak to your elders like this after obtaining the inheritance of the White Tiger?" Bai Zhiqing was furious in her heart as she raised her hand and slapped towards Bai Suqing.    

However, her hand had just landed when it was immediately grabbed by Lu Yu through the air, and she was unable to move forward at all.    

"Empress Bai, Suqing is now my Dao companion. If it wasn't for the fact that you are her elder, you would have already knelt on the ground like them. Do you really think that I am afraid of your identity as the Great Zhou Royal Noble Consort?"    

Lu Yu's gaze flashed with a cold light. "Or do you mean that Ji Wenchang has never mentioned who I am to you?"    

"Who do you think you are? Do you think you are worthy of His Majesty to talk to you?" Bai Zhiqing frowned.    

However, in the end, Bai Zhiqing did not flare up and suppressed her temper.    

She felt an unprecedentedly terrifying aura from Lu Yu. He was like a ferocious beast that was hibernating, and his entire body was emitting a dangerous aura.    

Although Bai Zhiqing had a fiery temper, she knew that even though she was an empress, she did not have a guard by her side. If Lu Yu really made a move, she would be the one to suffer.    

"So Ji Wenchang did not tell you..."    

Lu Yu's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Bai Zhiqing. "What if I tell you that I have power that you can look up to?"    

"With just you?" Bai Zhiqing laughed.    

She had secretly investigated the people Bai Suqing had met in the lower realm, but the information she received was rather vague.    

Of course, Bai Zhiqing would never have thought that these news had already been processed by the Skynet, so the information she could obtain was very limited. However, it was precisely because of this that Bai Zhiqing was even more certain that Lu Yu was just a nameless nobody.    

Just as Bai Zhiqing was about to say something, the butler suddenly ran in from outside.    

"Your Ladyship, Great Elder …"    

The butler ran over quickly, but when he arrived at the main hall, he was stunned.    

In the entire main hall, there were many people lying on the ground. Many of the experts of the Bai Family had flushed red faces and were knocked unconscious on the ground. Great Elder was kneeling on the ground, his face flushed red, but he was unable to stand up.    

This strange scene caused the butler of the Bai Mansion to be stunned on the spot, at a loss for what to do.    

"What is it?" Bai Zhiqing shouted sternly.    

Only then did the butler regain his senses and respectfully said, "Your Ladyship, the Zhu Family's Young Master is waiting outside for you."    

Bai Zhiqing raised her eyebrows slightly and waved her hand, "Alright, I understand."    

She looked at Lu Yu, her eyes filled with provocation, "Since you are so confident, I'll let you experience what true authority is."    

"The person who is paying a visit is the Zhu Family's Young Master, Zhu Jiuhua. He is young and already a high-level World Lord. Not only that, Zhu Jiuhua is conferred the title of Marquis of the Seashore, and at the same time, he is the Zhu Family's Young Master. His status is the most respected."    

Bai Zhiqing said indifferently, "You should know about the Zhu family, right?"    

Lu Yu said, "We have dealt with each other before."    

He still had some impression of it. Back then, in the Eight Trigram Furnace, he had killed a disciple of the Zhu family, Zhu Cheng.    

Later on, in the Kunlun Secret Realm, a young talent called Zhu Canghai had repeatedly provoked Lu Yu, and then Lu Yu crippled his cultivation level.    

The Zhu family was the richest family in the Great Zhou Empire, and could be said to be an existence that was as rich as a country. Unfortunately, Lu Yu did not have much dealings with the Zhu family, so he killed and crippled two disciples of the Zhu family. It could be said that they had formed a deep enmity.    

"Since that's the case, I don't need to say anything more."    

Bai Zhiqing sneered and said, "This Zhu Jiuhua has been pursuing Xiao Qing for a long time. Since you want to be Xiao Qing's Dao partner, why don't you send him away for me?"    

"Aunt!" Bai Suqing was a little anxious.    

Bai Zhiqing was obviously using the Zhu family to deal with Lu Yu.    

"Alright, let him come in." Lu Yu sat on the chair casually, his expression as calm as ever.    

Bai Suqing shook her head. "Aunt, you can't do this. If that's really the case, I would rather leave the Bai family!"    

Bai Zhiqing smiled and said, "Xiao Qing, I didn't force him to do this. When the eldest son of the Zhu family visits, he can completely hide in the house and not come out. I don't have any intention of forcing him."
