158: Looking at a picture book?

Bai Qiqi bit her red lip slightly, stood up, and bowed, saying, "I implore Fellow Daoist to enlighten me and help Wanling resolve this tribulation. This Bai will be eternally grateful."

Seeing this, Bai Wanling was slightly startled, but she didn't delay, quickly following suit with a bow.

Before Nangong Yu could speak, Nangong Ruoxue glanced at him, then shook her head slightly.

Immediately, she stood up and said indifferently, "Fellow Daoist Bai, my younger brother has already said enough. As Cultivators, you and I both know that helping others resolve tribulations will involve Karma."

"Karma is too profound. Anyone who knows even a little about it wouldn't want to get involved further. You should understand this point!"

Hearing this, Bai Qiqi nodded slightly, her expression not looking very good.

If her prediction was correct, the benefits her intuition told her about these two people had come true for her daughter.

It made sense.

If she hadn't brought these two back, her daughter might indeed encounter a tribulation three months later when she emerged from the mountain.

"Fellow Daoist Shangguan, is there really no other way?"

Bai Qiqi askedUndeterred (unwilling to give up), "I am willing to offer all my possessions, only asking for your help to resolve Wanling's tribulation."

"No!"

As if afraid Nangong Yu wouldn't agree, Bai Qiqi quickly lowered her request, saying, "Fellow Daoist Shangguan only needs to resolve a little, just enough for Wanling to stay by my side!"

Nangong Yu glanced at the two of them, shaking his head, "Fellow Daoist Bai, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. I can only see that she has a tribulation, but I cannot break it!"

Hearing this, Bai Qiqi's expression changed slightly, feeling a bit lost.

Bai Wanling looked up at Nangong Yu, her expression somewhat complex. Did she really have an Inner Demon Tribulation?

What kind of person was the object of her Inner Demon Tribulation? Was he worthy of her willingly undergoing a tribulation for him?

At this moment, Nangong Yu glanced at the two of them and said hesitantly, "However, Fellow Daoist Bai can find a marriage for her within the Spirit Fox Clan and get her married as soon as possible to see if it can break this tribulation."

"Of course, this requires your daughter's willingness and a slight liking for that person, otherwise, as you know, emotions are tricky."

Hearing this, Bai Qiqi's face lit up slightly; this was indeed a good method!

She quickly said, "Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Shangguan. This Bai is grateful!"

Then, she glanced at Nangong Yu and Nangong Ruoxue, smiling, "Fellow Daoists, there is still half a month until the Seven Emotions Secret Realm opens. If you don't mind, why not stay here with me for a few days before heading over?"

Hearing this, Nangong Yu looked at Nangong Ruoxue, who nodded slightly, "Si Chen, you make the decision. I'll listen to you."

Nangong Yu nodded slightly, looking at Bai Qiqi with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Bai, would this be inappropriate?"

Hearing this, Bai Qiqi's face brightened slightly, and she quickly smiled, "Not at all inappropriate. Fellow Daoist Shangguan pointed out my daughter's tribulation, and this Bai is eternally grateful. It is also this Bai's honor to invite the two Fellow Daoists to stay for a few days."

Nangong Yu shook his head slightly, smiling, "Fellow Daoist Bai is too modest, but we indeed don't want to spend the night in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. Since Fellow Daoist has invited us, we shall impose."

"It's my pleasure!"

Bai Qiqi quickly smiled, then hesitated slightly, "Fellow Daoists, this Bai is afraid I must excuse myself for a moment to make some preparations."

Nangong Yu stood up and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Bai, please go ahead and be busy. Don't mind us!"

"Please forgive me!"

Bai Qiqi cupped her hands and smiled, then looked at Bai Wanling, "Wanling, you take these two Fellow Daoists to the guest rooms to rest first. I'm going out!"

"Alright, Mother!"

Bai Wanling agreed, and Bai Qiqi hurried out of the main hall.

At this moment, she would rather believe it than not!

Bai Wanling watched her mother leave, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes. She wasn't unfamiliar with the Disciples of the Spirit Fox Clan; she didn't like any of them!

But looking at her mother, she seemed to trust this Senior Shangguan implicitly. Was she really going to hastily become a Dao Companion?

Seeing her expression, Nangong Yu couldn't help but smile, "It seems Miss Wanling doesn't really like my suggestion just now. Do you have any thoughts?"

Bai Wanling shook her head slightly, "Senior, please forgive me. Wanling was thinking that I've met all the young men in our clan, and I don't like any of them, so regarding becoming a Dao Companion..."

Her words had made it clear enough, so she didn't continue.

Nangong Yu smiled slightly, "Oh? How did Miss Wanling determine she didn't like them?"

"It's... I determined it by reading picture books." Bai Wanling nodded slightly, smiling shyly.

"Reading picture books?"

Nangong Yu was slightly stunned. This answer truly surprised him. Could one determine if they liked someone by reading picture books?

Bai Wanling smiled shyly, then said, "Those picture books say that when you like someone, your heart beats faster when you meet them. I don't have that feeling when I meet the young men in our clan."

Hearing this answer, Nangong Yu blinked, then couldn't help but shake his head and smile. So that's how she determined it!

"Senior Shangguan, is something wrong?" Seeing Nangong Yu smile, Bai Wanling asked somewhat puzzled.

"I'm not too sure about that, after all, I haven't met anyone I like either!"

Nangong Yu said with a smile, glancing at Nangong Ruoxue, and added, "Of course, the liking I'm talking about is liking the opposite sex. My mother and Sister Xue are my family, so that kind of liking doesn't count."

Bai Wanling nodded slightly, her expression somewhat bewildered.

A strange light flashed in Nangong Ruoxue's eyes. She held Nangong Yu's hand and smiled, "Alright, then we'll trouble Miss Wanling to take us to rest."

"Oh, okay!"

Bai Wanling nodded, led the two to the backyard, and opened two guest rooms, "Two Seniors, the conditions are simple, please don't mind them."

Nangong Ruoxue smiled slightly, "Miss Wanling is too polite, but my brother and I are used to it, one room is fine."

"One room?"

Bai Wanling was slightly stunned. Her limited knowledge told her that a man and a woman in one room meant they were Dao Companions, didn't it?

Nangong Ruoxue smiled, "My brother and I are used to traveling all over the world, Miss Wanling, there's no need to be surprised."

Bai Wanling nodded slightly and didn't ask further, only saying, "Alright, if the two Seniors need anything, just call Wanling. You can call me Wanling directly!"

"Alright, thank you!" Nangong Yu nodded slightly, expressing his gratitude.

"You're welcome. Then Wanling won't disturb the two Seniors."

Bai Wanling smiled and was about to turn and leave when she suddenly stopped, remembering something.
