He looked into Ningyan's eyes and found that she was serious.
"In fact, you could have just married her. Judging from Jimo Xi's expression, as long as you told him that you were interested in Jimo Huaxue, he would probably not reject this marriage. But now that it's clear that this is a misunderstanding, Jimo Huaxue might reject you."
Ningyan continued speaking with a calm expression, but from her tightly clenched fingers one could tell that she was not as calm as she appeared.
It would be strange if she could remain calm if she was advised to let Bai Yuan marry another woman.
Seeing her look, Bai Yuan couldn't help but smile and reached out to help her relax her fingers.
"I won't deny that I have feelings for her, but the reason I want to teach her swordsmanship is simply because she has a high talent for swordsmanship. These two things cannot be confused, so you don't have to think too much about it."
He was very clear about the purpose of his visit. Although he was very greedy for the [Quality to Become a Sword Immortal], he would not resort to such tricks.
Moreover, even if Jimo Huaxue rejected him in the end, he would not suffer any loss, and might even make a lot of money. After all, he could get a [Jimo Sword Style] worth 4 fragments from the system by spending fragments, which was already a profit.
Ningyan's face felt slightly hot as he gently pinched her fingers, but she did not pull her hand back, but let him hold her fingers.
Hearing him repeatedly emphasize Jimo Huaxue's talent, Ningyan was a little confused: "Is her talent really as high as you say?"
When Bai Yuan heard this question, he answered seriously, "Her true talent is much higher than what I said! If there is a word that can describe her, it would be the talent of a sword immortal."
Ning Yan's pupils shrank slightly after hearing this, and she was obviously shocked by his words.
The potential of a sword immortal!
What kind of qualifications are worthy of these four words?
She naturally believed in Bai Yuan's judgment. No wonder he valued Jimo Hua Xue so much. Such qualifications were beyond her imagination.
Time flies. Bai Yuan practiced in the room for a whole day, and Han Fei also hid in the room thinking for a day.
Early the next morning, Jimo's mansion was decorated with lights and colorful decorations.
Bai Yuan had just finished his training when he heard some noisy sounds coming from outside.
When he arrived at the front hall, he saw Han Fei smiling and congratulating Jimo Xi on his birthday.
Judging from his expression, he must have figured it out.
In addition to Han Fei, there are some other guests here, who should all be here to attend Jimo Xi's birthday party today.
Han Fei took out the exquisite flowing cloud jade ruyi that he had bought at a high price in Qizhen Pavilion as a birthday gift. Jimo Xi smiled happily when he saw it.
He really liked this piece of jade, and it also made him feel proud.
Seeing Bai Yuan coming out, Jimo Xi smiled.
"My dear nephew is here!"
"Uncle, I came here in a hurry and didn't bring anything with me. This bottle of Qi-nourishing Pill is my birthday gift to you!"
Bai Yuan took out a small jade bottle containing five Qi-nourishing pills.
Seeing that what he sent was actually a pill, Jimo Xi immediately stretched out his hands, took it, carefully opened the cork, and poured out a pill.
A refreshing medicinal fragrance wafted from the pill, causing Jimo Xi's expression to change slightly.
This is definitely a top-grade elixir!
Jimo Yun stood beside Jimo Xi, leaning forward to see what the pill looked like. His impatient look earned him a fierce glare from Jimo Xi.
"My dear nephew, you gave me such a valuable gift and said you didn't bring anything with you. You are so modest!"
Jimo Xi quickly put away the pills and was very satisfied with this birthday gift.
Bai Yuan smiled and waved his hand: "It's just a bottle of ordinary health-preserving elixir given by the master. It can replenish qi and blood, strengthen the body, and hope that uncle will live a long and happy life!"
He concealed some of the effects of the Qi-nourishing Pill, believing that Jimo Xi would understand it after using it.
"Hahaha! That's thoughtful! My dear nephew, that's thoughtful!"
Jimo Xi was made to laugh out loud by Bai Yuan. He pulled Bai Yuan over and introduced him to the other guests.
"Let me introduce this to you all. This is my good nephew. He is a disciple of the Taoist Tianzong and his teacher is Master Bei Ming. My nephew is a handsome man..."
Bai Yuan cooperated with Jimo Xi with a smile, allowing him to show off.
When the guests heard Bai Yuan's identity, they were all shocked. They didn't expect Bai Yuan to be so powerful.
So everyone wanted to go up and make friends.
However, Jimo Xi still knew the limits and took the initiative to help Bai Yuan block these people, and let Jimo Huaxue bring Bai Yuan in in time.
Bai Yuan breathed a sigh of relief only after Jimo Huaxue walked away from the crowd.
He really didn't like this kind of atmosphere.
The two of them came to the back garden, which was much quieter.
Sitting in the pavilion, both of them fell silent, as if they were waiting for the other to speak first.
For a moment, the atmosphere became a little awkward.
In the end, it was Bai Yuan who took the initiative to break the silence.
"My uncle should have told you about this, right? Are you willing to learn swordsmanship from me?"
At this moment he was also prepared to be rejected.
Jimo Huaxue pursed her lips. She didn't expect that he would only care about this when he opened his mouth.
Sighing secretly in her heart, she still patiently replied: "Sir, you think so highly of my talent. Of course I don't want to refuse such a good opportunity, but do I really have such a high talent as you said?"
"It's natural!"
Seeing that she agreed to learn swordsmanship from him, Bai Yuan was delighted and quickly nodded in response.
"Besides this, do you have nothing else to tell me? Sir, do you only value my talent?"
Jimo Huaxue leaned forward slightly, raised her head and looked into his eyes.
At this moment, Bai Yuan could even smell the faint floral scent on the other person, like winter snow and plum blossoms in the snow. The meaning in the other person's eyes was self-evident.
In the past, he had only heard that women from Qi were passionate, bold in love and hate, but he didn't expect to actually meet such a woman today.
Bai Yuan took a deep breath. The other person had almost made it clear. If he didn't react, what kind of man would he be?
So he stretched out his left hand, grasped Jimo Huaxue's slender waist, and gently pulled her into his arms.
Holding the beauty in his arms, Bai Yuan stretched out his fingers and gently scratched her face, then asked with a smile, "What do you think of my answer?"
Being held in his arms, Jimo Huaxue's pretty face blushed slightly. She looked at his gentle eyes and nodded gently.
What my father taught me is really useful!
In fact, after Jimo Xi explained to her that Bai Yuan's words were just a misunderstanding, she felt a little lost and embarrassed, and didn't know how to face Bai Yuan. Just as Ningyan had guessed at the beginning, she didn't want to learn any swordsmanship from Bai Yuan.
But Jimo Xi said a lot of good things about Bai Yuan to her, and even said that Bai Yuan was actually somewhat attracted to her. If she also had feelings for Bai Yuan, then she could take the initiative!
After all, there are not many people like Bai Yuan. If you miss him, it may be a lifetime mistake.
So after a night of thinking, Jimo Huaxue changed her mind. At worst, she would just agree and stay with Bai Yuan.
But the result surprised her even more, her father was indeed amazing!
Just then, a maid came running over, looking very anxious.
"Miss! Miss...Miss..."
The maid looked at the two people hugging each other, her eyes widened suddenly, and she covered her eyes immediately in fear.
Bai Yuan and the other person separated immediately and straightened their clothes. At this moment, there was still some blush on Jimo Huaxue's face.
The two pretended that nothing had happened and asked the maid, "What did you want to say?"
The maid then remembered the purpose of her visit and pointed in the direction of the front hall.
"Young Master Huan is here and is in the front hall now. The master wants you to come over."
Chapter 68: Hiding the Edge and Keeping Simple, Hidden Dragon Not in Use (Additional Update, Please Read)
Prince Huan is Tian Huan, the second son of the current King Jian of Qi.
When Jimo Huaxue heard the news that he was coming, her expression changed slightly.
She leaned close to Bai Yuan and whispered, "My father is holding a birthday banquet today. It's just a small celebration. In fact, he only invited some close relatives and friends. He didn't invite Master Huan at all."
Bai Yuan smiled, took her hand and gently patted the back of her hand.
He had already discovered what she said.
Although Jimo Xi was a doctor in Jimo, he held a high position and held real power, but he was a good official who was firm and pragmatic and did not like extravagance.
So even for his birthday party he only held it on a small scale and very low-key.
Now that Young Master Huan has come uninvited, I'm afraid he has other purposes.
As for the purpose, Bai Yuan looked at the beauty in front of him, and the answer was self-evident.
"Don't worry, I'm here. Since Master Huan is here to visit, we have to meet him. Otherwise, it will be easy for others to talk about it, which will be bad for the Jimo clan."
Jimo Huaxue also nodded slightly, and the two of them walked towards the front hall hand in hand.
At this moment, Master Huan was chatting with Jimo Xi in the front hall.
The others just watched from the sidelines without saying much.
This was originally just a small party among relatives and friends, and everyone was having a great time. However, with the arrival of Gongzi Huan, it suddenly became a lot quieter.
Everyone present was obviously a little uncomfortable.
Gongzi Huan also realized this, and said to everyone with a smile: "There is no Gongzi today. I am just a junior who came to wish Uncle Jimo a happy birthday. You don't have to pay attention to me."
Although he said so, how could everyone really not care about him?
But since he had spoken, everyone present had no choice but to cooperate.
Seeing the scene become lively again, Gongzi Huan showed a satisfied smile.
He made an apologetic gesture towards Jimoxi: "I seemed to be a bit too much of a presence just now, I hope you can forgive me, uncle."
Jimo Xi nodded slightly and smiled perfunctorily.
"Young master, you are serious!"
Gongzi Huan opened his mouth and was about to ask why Jimo Huaxue hadn't arrived yet, when he saw her figure.
But the next moment, his expression changed slightly.
Because she came with a man who was even more handsome than her, and they were holding hands!
Not only he, but also Ningyan who was holding Xue'er, changed his expression when he saw this scene.
She knew that Bai Yuan was taken to the backyard by Jimo Huaxue, and guessed that the two would definitely talk about learning swordsmanship, so she didn't follow.
But she didn't expect that after not seeing each other for such a short time, the two of them had become so close. Although she did say yesterday that Bai Yuan should marry Jimo Huaxue, she still felt unhappy.
Judging from their current appearance, Jimo Huaxue has not only agreed to learn sword from Bai Yuan, but has probably also expressed her feelings.
I'm so angry! She was the one who came here first!
Han Fei, who was standing next to Ning Yan, felt a sharp aura coming from her and could not help but dodge to the side.
"It turns out that there is no simple person around my uncle."
He secretly thought in his heart that the kind of momentum just now could not be possessed by an ordinary maid.
Seeing this situation, he could only pray for Bai Yuan, hoping that he could spend the night safely.
Unlike Gongzi Huan and Ning Yan, Jimo Xi's eyes almost lit up when he saw the two holding hands.
It seems that Hua Xue has also figured it out!
Bai Yuan and the other person came in front of Jimo Xi and Gongzi Huan and bowed slightly to Gongzi Huan.
"I've met the young master!"
Gongzi Huan looked at Jimoxi, pointed at Bai Yuan and asked, "Who is this?"
Jimo Xi quickly introduced: "This is Mr. Bai Yuan, a disciple of the Taoist Tian Sect, who learned from Master Bei Ming."
"I didn't expect that he was Master Bei Ming's disciple!" Young Master Huan Lu was a little surprised, and then a trace of doubt appeared on his face, "But I heard that Master Bei Ming hasn't accepted any disciples for many years. When did he get a new disciple?"
Seeing that he doubted Bai Yuan's identity, Jimo Xi showed a hint of displeasure.
Isn't he questioning his vision when he said this?
