(Yesterday, two chapters were blocked. In total, three chapters were updated yesterday. What's the point of scolding me? I'm desperate too! The protagonist chased and killed Wang Rong, already killed other enemies, killed Wang Rong, returned to Jiangnan City, revived brothers, and now is following Bai Lan to the Bai Family. Also, three chapters today.)

Capital City.

On the bustling streets, Bai Lan suddenly stopped, looking at the gate of the siheyuan in front of her, a complicated expression on her face.

Ye Qiu also raised his head slightly and took a glance.

The siheyuan exuded a strong ancient aura, appearing grand and filled with an air of unsurpassed authority.

Above the gate of the siheyuan, two large, flamboyantly written words were displayed.

Bai Family.

Two simple words, yet imposing and daunting.

The gate of the siheyuan seemed rather heavy, crafted from redwood, adorned with gilded embellishments, attention to detail perfected to the extreme, showcasing the noble identity and status of this family at every turn.

In the first ring of the Capital City, only those ancient and powerful families could own such a siheyuan.

Its value is far beyond that of any so-called villa.

"Bai Family..." Bai Lan sighed with a complicated tone, then turned to Ye Qiu with a faint smile, saying: "Let's go in."

"Alright." Ye Qiu nodded slightly.

The two of them stepped through the gate of the siheyuan together.

"Welcome home, Miss Bai!"

The two black-clad bodyguards standing by the door bowed respectfully to Bai Lan.

Ye Qiu, carrying the gifts he had already prepared, followed Bai Lan towards the grand hall.

Just at the entrance, they saw that the hall was already full of people.

There were both men and women.

There were young ones, and also elder ones.

Almost everyone was dressed in exquisite attire, their expressions carrying a hint of superiority.

With a quick glance, Ye Qiu quickly spotted Bai Rose in the crowd.

This little girl was indeed different, dressed in a pure white long dress, noble and sacred, yet without the arrogance of those around, her face constantly shining with a radiant smile, like a curious lark, continuously searching for something.

At the same time Ye Qiu saw Bai Rose, Bai Rose also noticed him. Instantly, her smile grew even brighter, and she eagerly waved at Ye Qiu in excitement.

"Ye Qiu!" Beside Bai Rose, Bai Hao's body couldn't help but tremble, suddenly recalling the time he was harshly taught a lesson by Ye Qiu.

An expression of anger flickered in Bai Hao's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it, looking towards Ye Qiu with an ingratiating smile, thinking that with a Demon King like Ye Qiu, if he couldn't deal with him, he'd better find a way to build a relationship.

Many others also noticed Bai Lan and Ye Qiu's arrival, nodding slightly to Ye Qiu, with gentle smiles.

Then, everyone smiled amiably, full of respect, looking at the elderly couple sitting in the main seats.

Bai Lan also glanced towards them, a faint smile emerging at the corner of her mouth, softly saying: "Dad, Mom."

"Uncle, Aunt, hello." Ye Qiu greeted politely.

On the way here, Bai Lan had already explained the situation of the Bai Family to him.

Her father, who is also the head of the Bai Family, is named Bai Hongguang, her mother is named Mu Yun, hailing from the ancient illustrious family in the Capital City, the Mu Family.

"Hmm."

Bai Hongguang nodded slightly, with not much expression. His body was somewhat thin, a few strands of white mixed in his dyed black hair, wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, his pupils aged yet as deep as the vast ocean, completely displaying wisdom.

He was dressed in a black Zhongshan suit, sitting there upright, with a serious expression, an aura of authority naturally emanating from him.

"Lan, how have you been recently?" Mu Yun asked, a faint smile at the corner of her mouth. She was two years younger than Bai Hongguang, yet appeared ten years younger, sitting there with an elegant and dignified demeanor.

"Pretty well." Bai Lan replied with a smile, seemingly not wanting to say much, then quickly turned to glance at Ye Qiu, smiling: "Dad, Mom, this is my boyfriend, Ye Qiu."

Immediately, all the people in the hall turned their attention to Ye Qiu.

Apart from Bai Rose's enthusiasm, there was a hint of indifference and dissatisfaction in the eyes of the others.

Especially the elders of the Bai Family. The Bai Family was a prestigious family in the Capital City, naturally possessing their pride, and didn't quite hold Ye Qiu, without a significant background, in high regard.

However, they had already learned before that Ye Qiu was the king of the Demon Corps, a legend in the military.

So, even though they were somewhat dissatisfied, the Bai family elders didn't show it openly, all of them looking at Ye Qiu with playful smiles.

"Ye Qiu, huh." At this moment, Bai Hongguang nodded slightly, looking at Ye Qiu with authority, his voice deep, saying: "I've heard of you, the so-called Demon King, a legend in the Huaxia military. Seeing you today, indeed makes an extraordinary impression."

"That's right, quite a commanding military presence."

Mu Yun also echoed, saying: "A pretty good young man, though without too distinguished a family background, yet worthy of our Lan."

Their words also carried a hint of dissatisfaction; their inner pride made them look down on Ye Qiu's lineage.

If Ye Qiu didn't have the title of Huaxia Demon King, Bai Lan's parents certainly wouldn't have been so polite.

"Dad! Mom! Didn't I always say my brother-in-law was great, but you didn't believe me!"

Before Ye Qiu could respond, Bai Rose shouted excitedly, looking up at Ye Qiu with immense admiration.

"Kids shouldn't interrupt!"

Bai Hongguang sternly ordered, then changed his tone, smiling faintly: "Ye Qiu, in this time, although we haven't been in much contact with Lan, we are still aware of her every move.

So, the relationship between you and her, we are also clear about; we understand your status, so we don't need to say much.

I am now only concerned about when you and Lan plan to get married, so we as parents can prepare accordingly."

As soon as Bai Hongguang finished speaking, the entire space suddenly fell silent.

Especially the elders of the Bai Family, whose faces turned a bit unsightly.

They admitted, Ye Qiu was the Demon King, the god in the military, truly extraordinary, but in their view, Ye Qiu ultimately didn't have such a prominent family background, and with Bai Lan together, it wasn't quite a match.

In terms of capability, he was enough, in terms of family background, he was indeed somewhat lacking.

Moreover, Bai Lan was such a capable goddess, she should find a wealthy and powerful young gentleman, who could allow the Bai Family to develop better, even if Ye Qiu's martial prowess was strong, what help could that bring to the Bai Family's development?

"Brother-in-law, I can't wait to drink at your wedding!" Bai Hao said excitedly.

Recalling the time he was educated by Ye Qiu, he still felt some dissatisfaction in his heart, but having seen Ye Qiu's terrifying capabilities firsthand, he thought that compared to Bai Lan's fiancé Zhang Tianfu, Ye Qiu was much better.

"If I can cozy up to Ye Qiu and use his name, no one would dare mess with me too!" Bai Hao secretly thought to himself.

Bai Rose was also extremely excited, laughing continuously with excitement, if not for the family elders being present, she would definitely rush out and ask Ye Qiu when she could attend their wedding.

However, just as everyone was having their own thoughts, Ye Qiu shook his head, calmly saying: "I'm sorry, I don't want to get married yet."

In an instant, the entire space froze!

Don't want to... get married?
