"Elder, how is this person?"
After Chen An left, Bai Mingli impatiently stepped out of the corner and asked.
"Well, there's no problem."
Looking at Bai Mingli's anxious expression, Elder Four couldn't help but smile and said, "Just like Qing'er said, his internal energy is pure and cultivated by himself, so there's no major issue."
"That's good."
Bai Mingli breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Bai Qing had checked him before, Bai Qing's cultivation was still shallow, and as Chen An's lord, Bai Mingli and others naturally couldn't completely trust him.
So, taking advantage of Chen An's visit to the steward hall, they had him checked again.
This time, Elder Four personally did the check, with his experience and cultivation, he naturally found no problems.
Since he felt there was no problem, they could naturally rest assured.
"Since there's no problem, how about the matter Qing'er proposed before?"
Thinking of Bai Qing, Bai Mingli's face showed a hint of hesitation as he continued.
"Well, since he is marrying that girl Zhilan, he will naturally be a part of our Bai family."
Elder Four smiled, "Since he is family, it's fine to teach him the Yin Body Technique and let him cultivate it."
"That's good."
Bai Mingli nodded, feeling relieved after hearing the Elder Four's answer.
Earlier, Bai Qing had made a request.
After Chen An married Bai Zhilan, Bai Qing wanted to open the Bai family's Yin Body Technique for him to practice.
Of course, Bai Mingli agreed to this as well.
Since Chen An had no parents, no family, after marrying Bai Zhilan, he would become a part of the Bai family, just like marrying into it.
In this situation, opening up the Yin Body Technique for him to practice was natural.
After all, in the entire Bai family, it would be difficult to find a second heritage that could lead directly to the Grand Martial Stage besides the Yin Body Technique.
If they didn't pass down the Yin Body Technique, wouldn't it be a pity for such a talent like Chen An?
Based on Chen An's previous performance, he had a great chance of reaching the Grand Martial Stage in the future.
If the Bai family could have an additional person at the Grand Martial Stage, it would undoubtedly strengthen the family's power in the future.
Therefore, Bai Mingli's attitude was the same as Bai Qing's, they both agreed.
But their agreement meant nothing unless the elders of the clan also agreed.
If the clan elders didn't approve of their decision, the consequences would be unimaginable if they taught Chen An without permission.
That's why today was so important.
And judging from Elder Four's appearance, he was apparently ready to agree?
"To teach him the Yin Body Technique is fine, but he must cooperate."
After pondering for a moment, Elder Four continued, "Among his future children, the exceptional ones with martial talent must bear the Bai surname."
"If he is willing, everything is fine. Not only the Yin Body Technique, but we can also offer a large piece of property."
"But if he is unwilling, there will also be a dowry, but the Yin Body Technique..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but Bai Mingli naturally understood his meaning.
"That's only natural."
Bai Mingli nodded and smiled, leaving Elder Four's presence.
It seemed like he was ready to go and consult with Chen An.
Soon, the room was left with only Elder Four.
Watching Bai Mingli hurry away, he couldn't help but smile and sigh, "Kids these days."
On the other side, Chen An quickly received the news as well.
"I understand."
Facing Bai Qing's gaze, Chen An remained calm, simply nodding.
This reaction made the people in front of him stunned.
"Do you really agree?"
Both Bai Qing and Bai Mingli were somewhat surprised, looking at Chen An in astonishment.
Before coming, they had prepared to persuade him one after another.
After all, for most people, these conditions would be difficult to accept.
Marrying into a family is considered an insult for men in this world, let alone for those ambitious warriors who are keen on martial arts.
Of course, Chen An wasn't actually marrying into the family.
But with his lack of parents and family, after marrying Bai Zhilan, he was almost the same as marrying into the family.
Moreover, the future children who could cultivate must also bear the Bai surname.
This condition was overwhelming!
However, even with such extreme conditions, Chen An accepted them calmly.
No hesitation?
Bai Qing and Bai Mingli exchanged glances, both somewhat dumbfounded at this moment.
Seeing their puzzled and confused expressions, Chen An couldn't help but explain.
"I, Chen An, was once a commoner in Feng City, struggling among the Three Rivers Gang members, surviving in turbulent times day and night."
"Miss Qing didn't see me as lowly, she promoted me from the mud, taught me martial arts; this is my good fortune, I am extremely grateful."
"For such great kindness, I have no way to express my gratitude. Even if it was my life, I would be willing to sacrifice it in return. How could I refuse?"
Chen An's face showed seriousness as he spoke earnestly, revealing his true feelings.
As his words fell, everyone was amazed.
"You... you..."
Bai Mingli looked at Chen An, as if wanting to say something, but he couldn't speak; he was shaken by Chen An's words and couldn't find words to respond.
After a while, he spoke again, saying, "I didn't expect someone so young to say such things, it's rare in this world."
"Since Zhilan is in your hands, I can rest assured."
He patted Chen An's shoulder, relieved, as he spoke with satisfaction, seeming to finally feel at ease.
Even Bai Qing, who was accustomed to Chen An's flattery, was moved at this moment.
At this moment, she recalled her first encounter with Chen An.
At that time, Chen An charged to save his leader from danger, risking his life with weak cultivation, even showing concern for his boss after encountering her.
And Chen An's former boss at that time, Meian, who Bai Qing knew seemed not to treat Chen An well, just casually took care of him, which led Chen An to "sacrifice his life in return."
Yes, he was always loyal.
And looking at the scene back then, his words now were so sincere, every word was true.
If it wasn't from the bottom of his heart, resonating with the soul, how could he utter such astonishing words?
Bai Qing was touched, not knowing what to say at this moment, so she could only silently say, "Rest assured, if anyone in the Bai family dares to say anything against this in the future or gossip behind your back, let them come to me first."
"I won't agree!"
"Exactly."
Bai Mingli's gaze at Chen An softened, "And me as well."
"After you marry Zhilan, we will be family."
In his heart, Chen An's status had been greatly elevated at this moment, becoming a grateful and upright person who repays kindness.
As for Chen An, he looked sincere but felt a bit helpless.
What are you all getting emotional about here?
I was just speaking casually!
Marrying my wife, having children with the Bai surname, what's the big deal?
Not to mention the exceptional ones with martial talent must bear the Bai surname, even if all the children must bear the Bai surname, what's the big deal?
Chen An knew from the start that this condition was the bottom line that the Bai family was willing to teach him the Yin Body Technique.
The reason was simple.
Regardless of the situation, the Yin Body Technique was the fundamental heritage of the Bai family, and even within the Bai family, only a few people could receive the full inheritance.
It wouldn't matter if Chen An learned the Yin Body Technique; after all, he was the only one.
But if he passed down the Yin Body Technique secretly for his future children, what would they do?
There was no way to prevent this matter, there were too many ways to cheat.
So the only solution was to ensure that Chen An's future descendants would all be Bai family members.
And as Bai family members, they would naturally receive the inheritance of the Yin Body Technique.
So Chen An didn't need to worry about it.
The key of this condition was not about marrying into the family or not, but how to ensure that the Yin Body Technique wouldn't leak out.
If he didn't agree to this condition, the Bai family would definitely not agree to teach him the Yin Body Technique.
Understanding this, Chen An naturally agreed readily.
In his opinion as a transmigrator, the surname of the children wouldn't matter to him at all.
There weren't many marriage arrangements in his past life, but didn't many people still ask for their children to take the wife's surname?
Not to mention he was being paid.
Chen An's agreement was only natural.
But he didn't expect that his quick agreement would raise suspicions from Bai Qing and Bai Mingli.
Therefore, he had to explain vigorously, which was a bit helpless.
However, regardless, Chen An agreed to the Bai family's conditions.
Bai Qing and Bai Mingli exchanged glances, feeling slightly relieved at this moment.
After chatting for a while, they left.
The next day, news spread within the Bai family.
Miss Qing's guest, Chen An, was going to be engaged to the Fourth Miss, Bai Zhilan.
The news spread quickly, reaching almost the entire Bai family in just a few days.
Different people had different attitudes.
But those who were close to Chen An, like Bai Changren, Bai Changyue, and others, were the first to come and congratulate him.
However, it was surprising to them that Chen An wasn't staying in his manor at this crucial time.
At this moment, Chen An was already in another place.
"Please send me off, sir."
Huang Yuexuan's voice rang out at the border of Xiyuan County.
She stood on the official road, with her servants, including Jiang Shu, following her, standing beside her.
And on the opposite side, Chen An stood alone, looking tall and dignified.
"Elder, how is this person?"
After Chen An left, Bai Mingli impatiently stepped out of the corner and asked.
"Well, there's no problem."
Looking at Bai Mingli's anxious expression, Elder Four couldn't help but smile and said, "Just like Qing'er said, his internal energy is pure and cultivated by himself, so there's no major issue."
