Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

Bai Yu asked, "Are you still planning to leave?"

"Of course, the Bai family's foundation is all in the West." Bai Potian took a sip of wine and picked up a pickled cucumber. "The West is also quite good... The level of civilization is not inferior to that of Daxia. The main thing is that it's more stable to stay in your own territory."

Bai Yu is very smart and doesn't respond.

Bai Potian wasn't in a hurry either. He just kept talking to himself, "The Bai family has had its fortune overseas for over a dozen generations. It all started because of a coincidence. My great-great-great-great-grandfather had a big fight with his family and left home, intending to sneak across to Yingzhou. He ended up boarding the wrong ship and encountered a ghost fleet. He was robbed and sold to the West."

"After that, he went through a rather interesting experience. He escaped from the plantation, crossed mountains and rivers overnight, got lost and nearly starved to death, and then ran back on his own. It was a complete mess. In the end, he was favored by a noble daughter."

"The other party's ancestors had a long history with Daxia and had studied there. The two hit it off immediately and unexpectedly got married... He also became a live-in son-in-law. Later, with the help of the baron, he founded the Bai Clan Chamber of Commerce. This was the foundation of our Bai family's business."

Bai Yu couldn't help but complain: "Isn't this just living off a gigolo?"

"What's wrong with relying on your abilities to live off someone?!" Bai Potian didn't care, even looking a bit proud. "I didn't have much ability when I was young, and it was all thanks to your grandmother's kindness... If we talk about living off someone, you're the real one, aren't you?"

The old man glanced at Su Ruoli, and then counted Mu Yaoxi and Huang Qixia...tsk tsk tsk, this guy who eats gigolo, he is worthy of being my grandson!

Bai Yu thought of Amemiya Mahiru and Elise... They worked hard to kill monsters and level up so that he could live a wonderful life with fully automatic leveling up.

"Indeed." He couldn't argue.

"Anyway, living off a gigolo is a traditional skill of our Bai family. This ancestral rule cannot be changed," Bai Potian taught. "And our Bai family is not incompetent. Although we have only one son for each generation, as long as we have a virtuous wife to support us, we can basically become big and strong. We even avoided several civil unrests in Rome."

Bai Potian paused here and said, "But unfortunately, after our ancestors returned to China, they discovered that the Bai family's roots in the country had been cut off... It was also our ancestors' fault. They were unlucky and encountered the spread of the Shadow World. The entire Yuzhou became a subsidence area. The clansmen were killed and injured and scattered. After ten years of searching, there was no result."

"So, the Bai family has no roots here?"

"That's right." Bai Potian nodded. "It wasn't until my father's generation that people thought about returning to China for development... However, he didn't succeed, and neither did I."

"Isn't being a Saint of Calligraphy enough?" Bai Yu was surprised. Hua Yuzhang was not even at the fourth level, but he could protect the Hua family for decades. The old man was a Saint of Calligraphy, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to create a semi-saint family, right?

"Of course it's enough." Bai Potian smiled bitterly, "But the Bai family isn't very prosperous... To develop domestically, it will take years of operation. Having a brand isn't enough; the most important thing is the people!"

"But I don't know how my Bai family offended the gods. Generation after generation, there has always been only one son. At most, there are no more than five children. With four generations living together, there are only four male offspring."

"In fact, there were some aunts in my previous generation who got married, but sometimes their luck was bad and their husband's family fell into poverty, leaving behind orphans and widows who would be taken care of by the Bai family."

"Even if we include these distant cousins who are separated by several generations, there is still a shortage of people."

Bai Yu was left scratching her head after hearing these words: "Is giving birth to a child really that difficult?"

Bai Potian nodded: "Difficult - you don't know, for those of us who live off our wives, we only have one wife, so naturally we only have one child."

"Who says a wife can only have one child?" Bai Yu was puzzled. "Does Rome also punish excessive births?"

"Yes, there's only one boy." Bai Potian touched his chin. "I remember the highest record was five generations ago... there were eleven births, three pairs of twins, one pair of triplets, and only one boy."

"Fuck!" Bai Yu cursed.

Bai Potian smiled bitterly: "It's not that I'm an old-fashioned person, but from the perspective of a family, the number of male offspring determines whether it is prosperous or not. If there are not a lot of sons, then it can't be called an aristocratic family."

Bai Yu understood: "That's why it can't develop in the country."

"Not entirely. If a family can achieve the status of two saints, even if it's just a single lineage, it will last for a hundred years. A hundred years is enough to gain a foothold in Daxia." Bai Potian took a sip of wine to moisten his throat. "That's what Xinghe thought at the time... but he disappeared."

This is ultimately a topic that cannot be avoided.

Bai Yu asked calmly, "Is the Beiming family really so arrogant?"

"At least he's not an opponent you can challenge right now." Bai Potian reminded him, "Don't get carried away by your passion."

"I won't." Bai Yu watched as Su Ruoli refilled his glass, and he repeated, "At least not now."

"You are Bei Ming Yao's son. It's only natural for you to go find your mother. This is the Bei Ming family's own business... Whether it's Erlang Shen or Chen Xiang, splitting the mountain to save their mother is a good story." Bai Potian said seriously, "You can do what a useless old thing like me couldn't do back then, and only you can do it!"

Bai Yu didn't say anything, or rather, he didn't know how to respond.

"Do you think I'd object to you saving your mother?" Bai Potian observed his grandson's expression and smiled. He waved his hand, "How incompetent of a grandfather am I to have you harbor such thoughts?"

Bai Yu shook his head: "I was just surprised."

"Our family is bound by kinship, and we value filial piety. Bei Mingyao kowtowed to me and toasted me before. I accepted her as my daughter-in-law! But I, Bai Potian, am useless, and my son has gone away and never returned. Naturally, I can only rely on you." Bai Potian said to himself and laughed at himself, "Every family has its own problems. I hope you can understand that Grandpa is not a coward, but I'm leaving these things to me. How can I be so arrogant as to ask you to do them?"

"Yeah." Bai Yu raised his glass and drank silently. No need to say more, it's all in the wine.

The old man smiled heartily: "Seeing you now, I feel that it is only a matter of time before I see your mother again. She will surely be very pleased to know your current situation."

Bai Yu didn't know how to answer. The image of her mother, who was always taciturn but very gentle, had become blurred in her memory.

At this moment, the old man suddenly interrupted Bai Yu's sentimentality and said cunningly: "The small talk is over, let's talk about business."

Was that just small talk?

Bai Potian went straight to the point and took out the stack of photos from his arms.

"Yujing, pick a wife!"

Chapter 337 It’s okay to marry more people

What does it mean that the visitor has bad intentions?

That's it.

Bai Yu's first reaction was to reach out from under the table and press Su Ruoli's thigh.

This is not to take advantage, but to stabilize her mentality.

He was really worried that Miss Su would stand up and smash the wine glass on the table. Pressing her thighs was a way of controlling her.

But unexpectedly, Su Ruoli took the photo on his own initiative and spread it out on the table.

She tilted her body, then Bai Yu blinked and said mischievously, "There are so many beautiful girls, all of them are foreigners!"

Foreigners are definitely rare in Daxia.

Although it is not as rare or as golden as the legendary ones, the difference in hair color and skin color is obvious at a glance.

Bai Yu confirmed that Su Ruoli was not angry, so he wanted to pull his right hand back, but just as he raised it, she grabbed it and pushed it back.

"...?"

He looked at Miss Su, who just smiled sweetly.

I have to take advantage of this, otherwise she might get angry.

Bai Yu gritted his teeth and looked at the girls on the table. Judging from the photos, none of these girls scored below 7.5 points. However, they were all artistic photos with makeup and dressing up. They were still a lot worse than Su Ruoli, who could score 9.5 points without makeup.

It is undoubtedly rude to judge a person based solely on their appearance.

Bai Yu picked up a photo at random and turned it to the back. Sure enough, there was a line of Roman text on it, introducing the name and family background.

Su Ruoli also moved closer, but found that she could not understand the foreign text at all.

Without waiting for Bai Potian's introduction, Bai Yu read out the words: "Daughter of the Count of Rome, Christa Andreeva... My self-introduction is: My family is very rich. Although I know your family is also rich, it doesn't matter because my family is richer than yours!"

"You can read Roman?" The old man was surprised and delighted, then he switched to Roman and asked, "Can you speak it?"

"I know a little." Bai Yu also responded in Roman.

Of course he wouldn't, but as long as he loaded the projection of the Gorgon Witch's heroic spirit, the projection would be responsible for the translation.

Bai Potian laughed heartily: "If you can speak and read official language, integrating into Western society will be very easy!"

Daily communication is no longer a problem, and the biggest obstacle has been overcome.

Su Ruoli asked: "When did you learn Roman?"

She had never seen Bai Yu learn it at home.

Bai Yu temporarily evaded the question, "I even know Yingzhou language. After entering the second stage of the subtle realm, learning a new language will be easy."

The old man immediately rubbed his hands and asked, "We'll talk about this later. Which of these girls do you like? I carefully selected them all... If you don't like any of them, it doesn't matter. It's not easy to find a three-legged toad in Rome, but it's easy to find a suitable and virtuous wife."

Bai Yu put down the photo and said with a wry smile, "What on earth are you talking about? Why do I have to go abroad to find a wife?"

Bai Potian said seriously, "Our family business is all overseas, so what's wrong with marrying a foreigner? She's also a lady from a wealthy family, with her own cultural customs, no worse than those in Daxia. Besides, isn't marrying a foreigner also considered bringing glory to the country?"

"What era is this thinking?" Bai Yu breathed in, feeling a slight pain in his teeth. "The girl in the photo is very beautiful, but I feel I'm still young. There's no need to be pressured into marriage or rush into blind dates."

"Not young anymore, almost twenty."

"I'm only eighteen!"

"You can get engaged at eighteen." Bai Potian said, "It's too early to get married now."

"Isn't the marriage age over 30 now?"

"Who said that!" X3

Not only Bai Potian expressed opposition, but also Su Ruoli and Tao Rusu behind him expressed opposition.

Bai Yu: "?"

Which side are you on?

"You're eighteen years old. You have a few years to develop your relationship. It would be great if you could get married with a child." Bai Potian smiled as he drank his wine. "Grandpa has arranged everything for you."

Bai Yu gathered the photos together, sorted them out, and put them aside: "I don't plan to get married now, and I don't have any intention of going abroad."

At this time, the attitude must be firm.

The old man exhaled a breath of alcohol: "Is it because of the Su family girl?"

Bai Yu shook his head: "I am from Daxia, born here, so naturally I don't want to leave my homeland. If I start a family and a career in Rome, will I be able to come back?"

The old man said with a smile: "What you said means the same thing to me - you can't bear to leave Daxia, or rather, you can't bear to leave the people here."

Bai Yu said, "People always miss the past."

Bai Potian said, "I don't intend to convince you right away, but if you stay in Daxia, you will suffer more. If you go to Rome, you will suffer less."

Bai Yu smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of hardship."

"Grandpa is afraid that you will suffer." Bai Potian put down his wine glass and said in a deep voice, "I don't want you to follow in your father's footsteps."

Su Ruoli frowned: "Grandpa Bai, I am not Aunt Bei Ming. I have the ability and strength to protect myself."

Bai Potian said, "I'm not against you two childhood sweethearts, but neither the Bai family nor the Su family can give you any help on the road ahead. If you were in Rome, it would be different. I am confident that you can live a good life."

"We?" Su Ruoli asked in a low voice.

Bai Yu was puzzled: "The bloodline of the innate heroic spirit shouldn't be able to leave the country, right?"

"I have my own way." Bai Potian laughed. "Do you think the Xiantian Heroic Spirit has violated the laws of heaven? If a living person really wants to leave, can't he leave? It's just that he won't leave so openly."

Su Ruoli's eyes lit up slightly: "So Grandpa Bai means that I can go to Rome with him?"

"What else?" Bai Potian asked helplessly, "Do you really want an old fellow like me to be the villain who breaks up the couple? I don't want to be hated by my grandson and end up with no one to see him off."

She suddenly couldn't find any reason to object.

Bai Yu reminded this good girl who forgot her friends for the sake of beauty that she still had something else to worry about: "Su Ruoji..."

Su Ruoli immediately said seriously: "My sister hasn't been found yet, how can I go home!"

Bai Potian had a blank expression on his face: "I haven't found my son yet. Are you delaying me from finding a wife for my grandson?"

The old man said sadly, "Speaking of Ruoji, it would be nice if she were still alive... I actually admire this girl more. You have your mother's temperament, and she has your father's. I really want a granddaughter-in-law like her."

"Puff..." Bai Yu couldn't help coughing. He quickly wiped it clean with a tissue and then complained, "Sir, please stop trying to match us up. There's a seven-year age difference between me and Sister Su Ruoji!"

"Seven years is not too many years old." Su Ruoli looked in a certain direction in the room. There was another senior student who was still in seclusion in the room.

Bai Potian continued to ask: "When will you be ready and when will we leave here?"

As soon as the words fell, Mu Yaoxi jumped out: "I don't agree, I..."

What should she do with her White Tiger Hall? Two of the Qianchen Society she had just joined suddenly left.

Still the president and vice president!

"It's okay, it's okay, you guys chat."

Before Mu Yaoxi could finish her words, Tao Rusu covered her mouth and dragged her back.

The calligraphy master is speaking, is it your turn to object?

"Sorry, Grandfather, I still don't want to go." Bai Yu didn't say anything final, and added, "At least I don't want to go now."

Bai Potian didn't say anything, waiting for him to explain.

"I still have a lot of things to do here," Bai Yu said. "Even if I could get more training resources by going to Rome, I'm destined not to get used to it. Besides, this is Penglai. I've worked so hard for so many years to reach this top-tier institution. If I just give up my studies like this, I'd be letting myself down."

He said honestly, "If I were a loser, I wouldn't be so entangled and pretentious. But unfortunately, I have already walked out and stood at a certain height. Naturally, I want to try how high I can jump, rather than asking you to build a stool for me."

Bai Potian was not happy when he heard this, but said bitterly: "As an elder, who doesn't want the descendants to step on their shoulders and move forward?"
