"Is that true?"

On the other hand, Chen An learned the news, so he smiled and said, "So, he really won?"

What he said is naturally not to others, but to Bai Changming.

"yes."

Bai Changren nodded: "The last battle was particularly fierce, and Cao Zhong was not a false reputation. He was very strong, but he was still under Bai Changming's hands."

Cao Zhong, this is the leading figure of the genius of the Cao family. His status is just like Bai Changming in the Bai family, and he is well-deserved first.

However, even such a person lost when facing Bai Changming.

Chen An was not surprised by this.

Judging from his previous duel with Bai Changming, as long as he is still at the level of internal energy, he is probably not able to surpass Bai Changming.

In the internal energy level, Bai Changming is really too powerful. Both martial arts and internal energy are tempered to the extreme, making people unable to compete with it.

Chen An estimated that even if he upgraded his internal energy cultivation to perfection, continued to improve his martial arts, and then fought against Bai Changming, the final victory would only be between 55 and 50, and there was no certainty to win.

Even on that day, Bai Changming did not do his best, and most likely he had something hidden.

Therefore, Chen An had already expected Bai Changming's victory.

"It's good."

He smiled and said, "If outsiders finally win the competition, it wouldn't be very good."

The fundamental purpose of this Bai family competition is not only to test the practice of the younger generation of the Bai family, but also to promote the Bai family's reputation.

If the final victory is an outsider, where should the Bai family face be put?

Let Bai Changming win, this is also a good choice.

“That’s true.”

Bai Changren nodded and agreed with this.

After chatting for a while, Chen An turned around and left here.

After walking out of the restaurant, he did not return to his residence, but went to another place.

Not long after, a hall was revealed in front of my eyes.

This is the deacon hall of the Bai family. Usually, only the core figures of the Bai family can enter.

Chen An was not qualified to be here as Bai Qing’s guest in the past.

The reason why I came here today is mainly because he won the big game.

Although in Chen An's opinion, the top four are not a good winner, they also have a generous reward.

This reward is about twenty body-tempering pills, some rare medicinal materials, and a silver note worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Just twenty body quenching pills are equivalent to tens of thousands of taels of silver, and they are still the kind that has no market value.

Not to mention there are other related rewards, which are calculated in pieces, and there are about 30,000 taels of silver.

This is just the rewards from the top four, which is definitely generous.

In addition to these things, Chen An has gained a lot.

For example, the silver he invested on himself before, plus the one he got from Bai Changyue, was calculated as much as 10,000 taels of silver.

In addition, Bai Qing gave another reward before, and the savings left by Chen An before......

Before he knew it, Chen An became a rich man again, but he still didn't know how to spend it.

He has no shortage of martial arts for the time being.

Because Bai Qing had already explained that he could choose martial arts by himself, but there were still restrictions on the number, so he could only choose two more.

But this is enough.

In the final analysis, martial arts is enough, and practicing too much is of no use.

Therefore, if Bai Qing directly saves the expenses in martial arts.

Regarding the remaining internal refining methods, Bai Qing also said that he would help Chen An find a way.

This also led to the fact that Chen An had no place to use money even though he had money.

I'm afraid anyone will not believe it if you say it.

There are actually people in this world who don’t know how to spend money.

But Chen An’s usual expenses are indeed not large.

The reason why he was short of money before was mainly because of purchasing martial arts.

Now there is no shortage of martial arts, so he naturally has no motivation to spend money.

It turns out that he might be able to pursue magical weapons, but now that he has the treasure sword that Bai Zhilan has sent before, Chen An even has no shortage of weapons.

So much so that Chen An looked at him for a moment and seemed to need money anymore.

Of course, not needing it now does not mean it will not be needed in the future.

So at least now, Chen An is still trying hard to save money to avoid asking for money in the future.

He took his own reward from the Deacon Hall. Chen An was about to leave, but he was still called away.

"The elder wants to see me?"

Listening to the words of the servant in front of him, Chen An was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted: "Please help lead the way."

He spoke politely, asking someone to lead the way and follow him behind him.

Walking on the road, he was also thinking in his heart.

Each of the elders of the Bai family is the backer of each branch, at least they are people in the Gangqi realm.

Such a person has a second only to the head of the family in the Bai family, so why would he want to see an outsider like him?

Did you see his previous performance, routine encouragement, or something else?

This thought flashed through Chen An's mind, his face remained calm, and he continued to move forward.

Soon, he came to a room.

The light in the room was a little dim, no more than outside, and it was filled with a medicinal smell everywhere, which made people frown secretly.

However, the moment he walked into the room, all this was ignored by Chen An.

His mind was completely shifted, and his eyes were fixed on the person in front of him.

That was an old man in gray clothes, who looked very old, and his whole body looked thin.

Just like this, how could he look like a powerful warrior? He is obviously a bad old man.

If you look simply from the outside, a strong man might just push the old man to the ground with a slight push.

The effect of using it to improvise people is definitely great.

But Chen An did not dare to relax at all.

As the old man in front of him looked at him, Chen An's entire body began to subconsciously tense, as if he was instinctively feeling the danger.

Danger!

The body was instinctively warning, as if it had seen something terrifying.

But this feeling comes quickly and goes quickly.

In just a moment, as the old man's vision became calm, the unique feeling on Chen An also disappeared, and he was able to return to calm in an instant.

But he didn't dare to take it lightly and quickly lowered his head: "Fourth Elders."

Yes, the old man in front of me who looked like a bad old man was the elder of the fourth rank.

In other words, it is the ancestor of Bai Zhilan.

"Get up quickly."

Looking at Chen An's appearance, the fourth elder smiled, looking very kind. The first sentence was: "The house is relatively simple, please don't mind."

Before Chen An could reply, he continued: "I heard that you have gotten engaged to that girl Zhilan?"

Is it that direct at the beginning?

"yes."

Chen An nodded respectfully and said, "I thank Miss Qing and Mr. Li to be valued by him, and getting engaged with Miss Zhilan is a blessing."

He said habitually, his tone seemed particularly sincere, as if he was so happy about this marriage.

If Bai Qing, who is used to Chen An's words, can see his disguise clearly at a glance and then roll his eyes.

But the fourth elder obviously was not so familiar with Chen An. Listening to Chen An's words, he believed it directly: "Is that so? That's good."

"Oh, that girl Zhilan has been spoiled by his grandfather since she was a child, so she still looks like a wild girl. It would be great if you can like it."

"But if you join... marry that girl Zhilan, we will be a family after that. Of course, I can't let you suffer a loss..."
