Chapter 1036 - 1029: Fatty Bai's Matchmaking (Part 1)
Wind Ridge Town, on the main street, just as Qin Yang and the chubby Bai were walking and chatting.
Two elders in red robes approached quickly, their faces slightly anxious. The elders' robes were a bright red, giving a festive air.
Judging from their aura, both were at the Middle Stage Immortal Spirit Realm.
"Second Young Master, you've finally come, hurry up, don't keep the others waiting."
Seeing the chubby Bai, one of the red-robed elders quickly said.
"Yes, Elder Bai Hua."
The chubby Bai nodded helplessly.
"And who is this...?"
Elder Bai Hua glanced at Qin Yang.
"This is my friend Qin Yang, Brother Qin, these are the Elders of the Bai Family stationed in Wind Ridge Town, Elder Bai Hua and Elder Bai Song."
The chubby Bai introduced Qin Yang to the two elders in bright red robes.
"Elder Bai Hua, Elder Bai Song."
Qin Yang smiled slightly, cupping his hands politely to the two elders in red.
"Mm."
Elder Bai Hua and Elder Bai Song both nodded. However, they didn't pay much attention to Qin Yang; after just a glance, their anxious gazes turned back to the chubby Bai.
"Second Young Master, let's go quickly."
The two elders said simultaneously.
"Yes..."
The chubby Bai rubbed his plump cheeks, stretching his voice reluctantly as he replied.
"Brother Qin, let's go together."
The chubby Bai looked at Qin Yang and said.
"Mm."
Seeing the chubby Bai's bitter gourd expression, Qin Yang couldn't help but smile, nodding in agreement.
The group of four then made their way to the central area of Wind Ridge Town.
A three-story building appeared before Qin Yang and the others.
This building was quite grand, with a plaque above the entrance that read "Celestial Permanence Commerce Association" in neat, bold characters.
"Brother Qin, we're here."
The chubby Bai stood in front of the Celestial Permanence Commerce Association, his expression uncertain. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said helplessly.
"Hehe, Brother Bai, there's no need to worry. As long as you have a firm Dao Heart and enough strength, you'll eventually control your own destiny."
Qin Yang comforted him with a smile.
"Mm, good brother."
Hearing Qin Yang's words, the chubby Bai looked at him, his small eyes seeming to be a bit watery as he spoke.
Easily moved, Qin Yang was speechless, but the next sentence made him roll his eyes.
"Alas, poor me, Bai Renchuan, dashing and handsome, a seven-foot man, yet I have to resort to using my looks… the world has changed..."
The chubby Bai lamented towards the sky, full of sorrow.
"Ahem, Young Master, let's go now, don't let so many people watch."
Even Elder Bai Hua was speechless, saying at once.
They had come to propose at the Celestial Permanence Commerce Association in Wind Ridge Town without fanfare; otherwise, they could be directly rejected, which would be too embarrassing.
Although the Bai Family had declined in the past two years, they were still a top-tier family in Celestial Cyan City, and it wouldn't sound good if word spread.
Now, urged by Elder Bai Hua and Elder Bai Song, Qin Yang and the group of four entered the Celestial Permanence Commerce Association.
On the first floor, the inside of the association was large, resembling a small palace, with more than ten counters. In front of the counters were special staff members who handled the sale or purchase of various items at different counters.
Inside the hall, there were maidens in white providing information and answers to those who entered the association.
After entering the hall of the association, Elder Bai Hua glanced around and quickly headed towards an elder in a green robe in the center of the hall.
The green-robed elder's skin was relatively well-maintained, but his brows always carried a faint sense of arrogance.
"Steward Qi, we are here."
Elder Bai Hua said to the green-robed elder.
"Oh, you are from the Bai Family?"
The green-robed elder lifted his brows and looked at Elder Bai Hua.
"Yes, today I represent the Bai Family to propose to the esteemed president's daughter, Miss Tie Wanru."
Although Elder Bai Hua was displeased with Steward Qi's tone and demeanor, he still cupped his hands, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly.
To be honest, in terms of status, the Bai Family was also a top-tier family in Celestial Cyan City, but the green-robed elder was from the Celestial Permanence Commerce Association, so even though Steward Qi was only at the Early Stage Immortal Spirit Realm, lower than him, he still had a bit of arrogance in front of them.
"Mm, the president already knows, go ahead."
Steward Qi waved impatiently.
The Bai Family's intention was clear in his mind—huh, the prestigious Bai Family of Celestial Cyan City had actually come to Wind Ridge Town to propose, and the target was, was... the president's daughter.
"Let's go, Young Master, let's go inside."
Elder Bai Hua cupped his hands to Steward Qi, then spoke to the chubby Bai.
"Yes..."
The chubby Bai nodded helplessly and then looked at Qin Yang.
"Brother Qin, I'm going in now."
The chubby Bai said to Qin Yang with a bitter expression, and then, urged by Elder Bai Hua and Elder Bai Song, he entered the back hall.
"Tsk tsk, the president's daughter indeed..."
Steward Qi clicked his tongue, his old face couldn't help showing a mocking smile as he glanced at the three, seemingly having already predicted the outcome of their proposal.
This scene was witnessed by Qin Yang.
Steward Qi then turned his gaze, somewhat displeased with Qin Yang.
"And you are...?"
Steward Qi frowned and asked.
"I came here to purchase some items."
Qin Yang said.
"Oh."
Steward Qi responded indifferently.
"Xiaodie, attend to this person."
Steward Qi said to a maiden passing by him, then walked away without looking back.
"Yes, Steward."
The maiden named "Xiaodie" nodded, then looked over Qin Yang, noting that this young man had a deep, dark gaze and a quite distinct face.
"Fellow Daoist, I am here to assist you. Are you here to sell items, or do you wish to purchase something?"
Xiaodie asked.
"I want to purchase a detailed map of the Great Xia Dynasty, and a summary map of the Nine Provinces Sacred Domain."
Qin Yang stated directly.
"Purchasing maps? Of course, Fellow Daoist, please follow me."
Xiaodie said, then led Qin Yang to a nearby counter and went inside it.
Swoosh!
Xiaodie opened a Jade Cabinet, and with a gesture of her right hand, a total of six jade slips, emitting a blue-green glow, appeared in her hand.
"Fellow Daoist, these are exclusive maps from the Celestial Permanence Commerce Association. Both the detailed map of the Great Xia Dynasty and the summary map of the Nine Provinces Sacred Domain are divided into three grades. The first grade is the most detailed, and the two maps together cost a total of one thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones. The other two grades require five hundred and one hundred Lower Grade Spirit Stones respectively. Which one would you like?"
Xiaodie looked at Qin Yang and asked.
Upon hearing the price, Qin Yang was slightly surprised. A first-grade map requiring one thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones was not a small amount and could be enough for a cultivator at the Immortal Spirit Realm to cultivate for several months.
