Bai Xue'er has been staying in the Ling Xiao Hall for many years, and she rarely comes into contact with people. Even her own brother can hardly see her once, it can be said that her life experience is far from comparable to Guo Yao's old slicker.
However, clever women are all similar, while stupid women are each stupid in their own way. Bai Xue'er was indeed annoyed by Guo Ye's teasing, but she didn't lose her head.
She raised the wine cup on the table with both hands, then handed it to Guo Yao and said: "Xier has never been able to hold her liquor since she was a child. If Young Master Guo really likes Xier, shouldn't you drink it for me?"
Bai Xue'er's demeanor was elegant and refined, her beautiful eyes that could captivate men all over the world gazed at Guo Yao, holding out a wine cup in front of him.
Guo Ye just made her feel sick, but she didn't expect that she would immediately make him feel sick again. Her eyes were like misty water, and her gaze was absolutely enough to make any man unbearable. Guo Ye was also a man, and he was a man among men. A beauty sought after him, and no man could refuse, let alone him.
Guo Yi has always refused to admit that he is a romantic and sentimental person, but every time he does something, he leaves room for emotions. He can't stand women looking at him with pleading eyes, because generally, when faced with such requests, he won't refuse, and will even take the initiative to put himself in their shoes. This is an essential quality of a romantic, and Guo Yi has performed this self-inflicted suffering to perfection, which is also why he has won the favor of so many women.
"Since the fairy has said so, Guo Yi dare not refuse." Guo Yi took over the wine cup from Bai Xue'er's jade hand and drank it all in one gulp.
When Guo Yi drank this cup of wine, he knew that he had fallen into the lower position, but he was willing to do so and became Bai Xue'er's defeated general.
Bai Xue'er saw Guo Ye drink the Huo Qilin wine in one gulp, and the immortal face under the white gauze also smiled: "Young Master Guo really has a good capacity for liquor, otherwise Xue'er will toast you another cup?"
"Alright! If you get me drunk, I'm afraid it'll be straight to the fairy's bed for a night's stay. Of course, most importantly, by then there might not be anyone left to talk to the fairy." Guo Ye wasn't afraid of Bai Xue'er getting him drunk; even if he was drunk, he wouldn't utter half a word.
Bai Xier had never seen anyone as shameless as Guo Yao, and most of the people she came into contact with were well-mannered and educated, except for her half-teacher Qianye who occasionally acted like a rascal.
"Master said that nine out of ten clever people in the world are rascals, and if you don't act like a rascal, you'll end up losing out. People who lose out are always a bit stupid. It seems what he said is indeed correct." Bai Xier thought to herself, her pure and flawless heart began to waver, she was thinking whether she should go and become that female rascal?
"Since Master Guo can't handle his liquor, then let's just put this wine aside for now." Bai Xue'er said.
Kwok Yat hastily said: "When did I say I couldn't handle my liquor?"
Bai Xue'er completely ignored Guo Yao, her sleeve lightly brushed, and the wine jug beside Guo Yao suddenly flew into her slender jade hand. Her divine face smiled: "Since Young Master Guo wants to talk, then let's start talking! I wonder what Young Master Guo wants to talk about?"
"When did I say I wanted to talk?" Guo Yi was speechless, if the person sitting opposite him wasn't Bai Xue'er, he would have thought she was a crazy woman.
"You're speaking now, aren't you?" Bai Xue'er said with a smile.
Guo Ye didn't expect that this fairy would also have a moment of being unreasonable, if this were to spread and say that the Ling Xiao Fairy was actually a female rogue, it would probably shock the chin off all the cultivators in the world.
Bai Xier smiled with gleeful intent, she suddenly felt that seeing the usually arrogant Guo Yao being put down was a rather delightful thing, and she couldn't help but wish to suppress Guo Yao every day, which would be perfect.
"Good! Good! Good!" On the palace gate, white clouds floated gently in the sky as a soft laughter echoed, continuously uttering three "good"s. The laughter said: "Xi'er has finally not let me down."
"Big deal." Mr. Chiba felt like kicking the master of the White family to the ground.
Bai Yun Tian hastily stopped his laughter and asked, "Sir, didn't you just hope that Xi Er wouldn't be too naive? Now she's already achieved that, what's wrong with this?"
"Look! We've only won one game, we need to think long-term." Mr. Chiba actually still had a hint of worry in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud, and instead continued to focus on the two young people competing below.
Kuo Yeh rubbed his hands together, unable to understand why he had lost the first game, but since the defeat was already settled, he decided to try and turn it around.
"Talk! Must talk!" Guo Yi slapped the table and said: "Xianzi, you just name a price?"
"What's the price?" asked Bai Xue'er cautiously.
"Nature is the price of betrothal, I plan to formally propose to you, Fairy." Guo Yi started talking nonsense again, because he knew that he absolutely couldn't bring up the main topic first. Whoever brought it up would lose their countermeasure power. As long as he didn't bring it up first, there was still a chance for him to turn defeat into victory. Therefore, he had to force Bai Xue'er to compromise first.
When Guo Yi raised the issue again, Bai Xue'er's attitude also became softer. She too knew how to avoid making the negotiations go stale. Her beautiful eyes sparkled as she said: "Guo Gongzi is truly generous. If you really have the intention of taking me in, then first go to Su Nü Chan Temple and let the abbot expel me from my sect. After that, defeat all the powerful experts in Gu Xuan Domain one by one, and finally take over the entire Grand World to propose to me. Perhaps I can consider it."
Guo Yi shook his head and smiled wryly. Bai Xue's three betrothal gifts were each more difficult to obtain than the last. He could only laugh and say, "Why do women always like the strongest men in the world?"
Su'e's order to Guo Yi was also for him to become the number one in the Xianxia world, if he couldn't achieve this goal, she would personally strike him down.
"Because women are born with a lack of security, and as for a man who can't even control his own safety in someone else's hands, how can we women rely on him? If he doesn't become the number one person in the world, then we won't be able to find this kind of secure dependence." Bai Xier's beautiful eyes sparkled as she stared tightly at Guo Yao.
"So that's what you women think? No wonder you can only become a plaything for men. A truly intelligent woman would never rely on a man, she would make the man rely on her." said Guo Yao.
Bai Xieru's beautiful eyebrows were deeply furrowed, and she was extremely in agreement with Guo Yao's point of view. She even began to reflect on whether the ideas she had accepted before were no longer quite right.
In fact, neither of them noticed that they had already begun to deviate from the topic and unconsciously started studying the topics between men and women.
"In fact, this is also incorrect. If a woman is too strong-minded, it's generally difficult for her to find a man who suits her taste, because the stronger-minded a woman is, the more she wants to find a man who can overpower her, but the stronger-minded a man is, the less he likes strong-minded women, which creates another contradiction."
Bai Xier's eyebrows furrowed even tighter, she felt that Guo Yao's words were actually not wrong, her mind kept repeating Guo Yao's two points of view, trying to clarify them.
But Guo Yi would not give her this opportunity, and he would take advantage of her confusion to launch a fierce counterattack.
Guo Yidao said: "In fact, the Bai family is now facing such a contradictory situation. On the one hand, they are under attack by the top nine powers, and Bai Taigong is critically ill. The disciples of the Bai family are scattered and disheartened, so there is no need to wait until August 15th. The Bai family has already collapsed and will collapse without waiting for the attack of the nine major powers."
"Of course, such a crisis situation is also a great opportunity. If the White family shows weakness and then secretly pulls the seven major evil lands into its own camp, plus the White family's solid foundation in Huadu Holy City for tens of thousands of years, it may be possible to eliminate the Zhongzhou Imperial Family and Longyuan Royal Sword Garden, and become the sole dictator of Huadu Holy City."
Kuo Yeh took the initiative to clarify the ins and outs of the situation, but did not mix in his own emotions at all, showing that this matter had nothing to do with him, and he was just a bystander with an indifferent attitude.
Bai Xue'er was suddenly struck by a remark that hit the weak point in her heart, and her mind was shaken. Her brain went blank, and she involuntarily asked: "Is there still a chance for the Bai family to turn defeat into victory?"
This wasn't just Bai Xue'er asking Guo Yi, but also the White Cloud Heaven's Palace above, who had heard Guo Yi's words and was shocked, asked this question to Qian Ye as well.
Guo Yi and Mr. Qianye shook their heads simultaneously, then said in unison: "I don't know!"
"How could I not know?" Bai Xue'er couldn't maintain her calm demeanor anymore, and hastily asked, because Guo Yi's words were too shocking.
The people of the White family heard that the nine major forces were besieging, half of them were frightened and pale, and the other half only thought about how to keep the White family safe. No one had ever thought that they could turn defeat into victory, destroy Longyuan Imperial Sword Garden and Zhongzhou Imperial Family, and then the White family would dominate alone.
Not only was Bai Xue'er shocked by Guo Yao's words, but even the master of the Bai family trembled in his heart. After some calculations and deliberation, he finally felt that what Guo Yao said made perfect sense.
The White Cloud Heaven's complexion was filled with great joy, and his mind was constantly scheming about the complex changes that would come in the future. In the end, he came to a conclusion: The Flower Capital Holy City would soon welcome an era of sudden and drastic change.
Guo Yi stared blankly at Bai Xue'er and smiled: "I don't know, just don't know, why so many whys?"
Bai Xier suddenly glared at Guo Yao with annoyance, wishing she could cut off the head of this annoying guy in front of her and kick it like a ball.
If you want to talk, then you have to take your time and grasp the rhythm of the negotiation, letting the opponent follow your lead, this is what a successful negotiation looks like.
Guo Yexiao smiled and said: "Of course, if the Lingxiao fairy can personally pour a cup of wine for me, I am willing to continue analyzing."
Guo Yi suddenly thought of the wine jar that Lao Mangzi had hidden in Nanling. He said that there were two beautiful things in this world: one was a beauty, and the other was good wine. His greatest dream was to be able to drink a cup of the most delicious wine poured by Liu Xianzi's own hands. Unfortunately, his wish could only be fulfilled with Guo Yi's help, although it wasn't Liu Xianzi, but this Lingxiao Xianzi wouldn't be too bad either.
Bai Xue'er's brow cleared as a small, exquisite palace appeared in her mind. With a flash of immortal light, she became calm and clear-headed once more. Her immortal heart and bones were revealed without reserve. She slowly got up, picked up the bronze wine jug, and poured a few strands of qilin wine into the cup. The sound of the wine was melodious beyond compare, and Guo Yi's heart also felt a thread of pride.
In ancient Xuan Yu, there were three fairy maidens. However, the person who could drink the wine poured by the fairy maidens was probably Guo Yi for the first time. How could he not be pleased?
Guo Yi took over the wine glass and sipped it beautifully, smiling: "Then let's continue analyzing."
Bai Xue'er was as quiet as a pine tree, quietly listening to Guo Yao's next words.
"In the Zhongzhou imperial family and Longyuan Imperial Sword Garden, there must be someone who is helping to pull strings from behind the scenes. And they will have to pay a huge price for this. Only then can the nine major powers be on the same boat." Guo Yi paused, then said: "If it were us... no, if it were you, if you could find out who was pulling the strings and get rid of them, then find another person to pull strings for you and promise even greater benefits, wouldn't that allow you to draw the seven major evil lands into your camp?"
"Good!" Bai Xue'er hadn't even spoken yet, but the White Cloud Heaven above the palace had already cried out "good" first.
