Book of Disaster

Bai Qi glanced at his father and had already seen through the reason behind this——

He remembered that he was not so popular when he was in Beijing.

However, today's enthusiasm and the grand welcome also reflect the great change in the Bai family's status and the significant increase in its influence, which is undoubtedly something to be celebrated.

At this moment, a sharp and unique voice reached everyone's ears. It was the eunuch Chen, who was wearing brocade clothes with cloud patterns. He held a dustpan in his hand and suddenly took a few steps forward. As soon as he spoke, the people around him immediately quieted down and consciously retreated to the sides.

This one...represents the imperial power!

"Mr. Bai, congratulations. After the long journey, you might as well take a rest early today. I am here on the orders of the emperor. After you have rested well, you can go to the palace to meet him tomorrow." said Eunuch Chen.

"So fast!" Bai Qi couldn't help but be surprised. He had just set foot on the land of the capital and thought it would take at least a few days to buffer, but he never expected it to be so fast.

"Please don't blame me, young master. This is the order of Empress Zhao. After learning that you have made great military achievements and become a martial saint, the Empress can't wait to meet you. The Empress said that she has not seen you for a long time and misses you very much. In order to fulfill the Empress' wish, His Majesty has specially arranged an audience with the Emperor tomorrow." Eunuch Li added.

"I see." Bai Qi suddenly realized, then smiled and responded: "Then I'll trouble the two eunuchs to convey my gratitude. I will definitely go to the palace tomorrow to pay my respects to my stepmother."

The two eunuchs smiled and treated Bai Qi kindly, as if they were looking at their own juniors. This reflected Bai Qi's current status and influence. Bai Qi's achievements were not only a personal honor, but also led to the rise of the entire Bai family and increased their weight in the court.

"Everyone, please disperse. The young master just came back, so don't disturb him to rest."

The two fathers-in-law said fairly.

"Yes!"

Hearing the two eunuchs representing the Emperor and Concubine Zhao speaking, the noble families dared not offend them and bowed respectfully one after another.

On the other side, Xu Xuansu and others also came forward and said goodbye to Bai Qi.

In addition to the people from the Bai family, those who came to greet them this time also included servants from the God of War Palace, the Imperial Observatory, the Zhang family and other forces. They received the news in advance and came specially to greet them.

Firstly, it is to welcome the children of each family, and secondly, it is to show all parties the current relationship between each family and the Bai family.

——No matter what happened in the past, when Bai Qi, Xu Xuansu, Zhang Chi, Zhou Yixian and others fought side by side in the southwestern border and made great achievements, their four families were actually tied together.

"Bai Qi, let's meet again next time."

"Boy, I'm going back first. I'll come see you in a few days."

"Sir, we'll meet again."

……

Bai Qi said goodbye to Xu Xuansu, Zhou Yixian, Zhang Chi and others one by one.

Both parties also agreed on a time to meet later.

When Bai Qi followed his father Bai Shixiong into the capital, he was greeted with even louder cheers than before.

There was a huge crowd behind the city gate. Countless people in the capital cheered at once, their faces full of enthusiasm. The restaurants, teahouses, and streets were all filled with cheering people.

These people have no conflicts of interest with the Bai family. They are here purely to see Bai Qi, the legendary 15-year-old martial saint.

Bai Qi had only seen this kind of scene in his novels, and this was the first time he had seen it in real life. He felt so happy and comfortable.

At this moment, in the distance, hiding behind the welcoming crowd, a group of figures were looking at Bai Qi's "successful" look, and their noses were crooked with anger.

"Humph, seeing him succeed like a villain really makes me mad!"

One person said with indignation on his face.

"That's right, isn't it just a martial saint? What's so great about it? Just wait and see, I will become a martial saint in the future too."

Another person gritted his teeth.

"Yes, we are not necessarily worse than him. If we all work hard, we will be able to surpass him one day."

……

In the restaurant, everyone was talking at once, criticizing each other as much as they could, but there was an undisguised smell of sourness and jealousy in their words.

Among all the people, only Duke Xiaoji in the center was the most eye-catching.

He didn't say a word, but just stared at Bai Qi's back with an extremely ugly expression.

Lu Wuchen and others sat beside him.

In the past, everyone would have tried to please him, but now, everyone's eyes were focused on Bai Qi, as if they had forgotten his existence.

"Bai Qi, don't be too proud. I won't lose to you."

Duke Xiao Ji swore secretly in his heart, his nails almost digging into his flesh.

At this moment, Bai Qi, who was about to turn into another street in the distance, seemed to sense something and suddenly looked in his direction from a distance.

With just one glance, Duke Ji and the other rich and powerful children in the restaurant suddenly changed their expressions.

Bai Qi is a martial saint. If he starts fighting, even if all the people together are put together, they will not be enough to defeat him.

However, from a distance, Bai Qi just raised his head and sneered at them, his eyes full of contempt.

The group of people felt as if they had eaten a fly. They were furious and angry, but they didn't know what to do. They didn't even dare to speak loudly.

However, Bai Qi quickly turned around and entered another street.

With his current status and strength, these people really don't even have the qualifications for him to take action.

"Damn it, I'm so mad, I'm so mad!"

When Bai Qi disappeared, everyone became furious again.

Bai Qi quickly returned to the Bai family mansion.

Even Bai Qi did not notice that a figure in the crowd watched him enter the mansion, then quickly turned around and walked along the streets and entered the palace.

She did not enter the Taiji Hall, or where Concubine Zhao lived, but turned and entered the Lengli Palace and quickly disappeared.

……

“It’s really comfortable.”

When Bai Qi woke up early in the morning, he had an unprecedented sound sleep at the Bai family and felt extremely comfortable all over.

As his strength grows, he no longer has to worry about being hunted down like when he first entered this world, and no one would be foolish enough to assassinate a Martial Saint.

In the morning, after Bai Qi had finished dressing, the maids of the Bai family held the gorgeous dress sent in advance by the palace and respectfully helped him change clothes. After getting dressed, Bai Qi reflected in the mirror was handsome, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, red lips and white teeth. In addition to the majestic aura of a martial saint, coupled with the white dress, he was really graceful and handsome.

Even the maids who served him on weekdays couldn't help but feel moved.

\"Why didn't I realize before that our young master is so handsome? He is such a handsome man.\"

A maid couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
