"So what if you're an immortal? Others might fear you, but I don't!" he roared in fury.
"Do you think I don't know immortals?"
"As long as our family pays enough, we can summon immortals too!"
Wu Tian actually believed Bai Haonan's words.
After all, the Bai family was wealthy. As long as they were willing to spend money, they could find immortals to help them.
But Wu Tian didn't care.
So what if they summoned an immortal? Wu Tian had always been someone who feared no authority and would never back down an inch.
Therefore, he smiled faintly and said, "Is that so? In that case, I'll wait here."
"Use your full strength against me. It will save us a lot of trouble, won't it?"
Bai Haonan was almost driven mad. He shouted at Bai Fuguo, "Dad! Don't you know an immortal?"
"Summon him now! We absolutely cannot take this loss today!"
But Bai Fuguo hesitated and said, "Son, calm down. You can't just summon them like that."
"They are immortals, after all. If we want to summon one, the price we have to pay will be very high. I don't think this is appropriate."
But Bai Haonan couldn't care less!
He was a man who valued his reputation, known as omnipotent in the capital. If Wu Tian embarrassed him today, how would he be able to show his face in the future?
So he gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, just listen to me and summon him quickly!"
"Don't you see? This kid is clearly helping Bai Ruoqi. If he stays by Bai Ruoqi's side, it won't be good for us!"
"Since that's the case, shouldn't we deal with him right here and now? Otherwise, it will be even harder to handle him later!"
Bai Haonan's words were not without reason, and Bai Fuguo immediately hesitated.
He also felt that leaving Wu Tian around would be a disaster. So, steeling his resolve, he nodded and said, "You're right, this guy must be eliminated!"
"To avoid any further complications, let's act now!"
Bai Haonan immediately chimed in, "Exactly. Even if we can't kill him, we must cripple him, or we won't be able to resolve this!"
With that said, Bai Haonan looked at Wu Tian smugly again and said, "Kid, keep pretending. Even if you're an immortal, you'll still die by my hand in the end!"
Wu Tian chuckled coldly, "If you can truly do that, then I wish you success."
Bai Haonan couldn't stand Wu Tian's attitude. No matter how he provoked him, he couldn't make Wu Tian angry. Instead, it made him look like a clown.
He couldn't help but urge Bai Fuguo, "Dad, where is he? Why hasn't he arrived yet!"
Bai Fuguo said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I just found his number. Wait, I'll call him now!"
"Wait a moment!"
Just as Bai Fuguo was about to dial, a voice, old and authoritative, suddenly rang out.
Hearing the voice, everyone froze.
Even Wu Tian couldn't help but turn his head to look behind him.
As the crowd parted, Bai Yunshan, dressed in a Tang suit and leaning on a golden cane, walked over.
"Dad?" Bai Fuguo was stunned.
He couldn't help but ask, "Is something wrong?"
Bai Yunshan said sternly, "Don't make that call. I forbid you from doing this!"
"Ah?" Bai Haonan didn't understand Bai Yunshan's actions, so he asked, "Grandpa, what do you mean? Are you on Bai Ruoqi's side?"
Bai Yunshan said coldly, "I'm not on anyone's side. I said from the beginning that this is your own business, and it has nothing to do with me."
"But if you intend to summon an immortal, then I must stop you."
"What do you think this place is? This is the capital!"
"Do you know how dangerous it would be if immortals were to fight?"
"If things get too big, not only will the authorities intervene, but people from hidden spiritual sects might even be alerted!"
"In such a situation, tell me, how will you resolve it!"
Bai Yunshan seemed to be somewhat angry. After saying this, he struck the ground heavily with his cane.
Bai Fuguo and Bai Haonan trembled slightly.
Only then did they realize that things were indeed as Bai Yunshan had said.
This was, after all, the capital, and the city center at that!
If a battle between immortals were to break out, the scene might even be classified as a terrifying war.
At that time, nothing could be explained clearly.
Therefore, facing this situation, Bai Fuguo could only nod and say, "I understand, Dad. I was indeed not thoughtful enough in this matter. I won't summon anyone."
As for Bai Haonan, although he was very unhappy, he had no choice.
After all, Bai Yunshan had spoken, and what more could he say?
If he were to oppose Bai Yunshan, not only would he be unable to summon an immortal, but he might also anger Bai Yunshan.
Regardless, Bai Yunshan was still the patriarch of the Bai family, and he absolutely could not offend him.
Then, Bai Yunshan looked at Wu Tian and asked, "Esteemed sir, since you are an immortal, you must have lived for many years, right?"
"How did you meet my granddaughter, and why are you helping her?"
Regarding this question, Bai Ruoqi replied, "Grandpa, you've misunderstood. Wu Tian is only a few months older than me. He was my classmate back then!"
"What?!" Hearing this answer, not only were Bai Fuguo and his son stunned, but even Bai Yunshan was greatly shocked.
He immediately fixed his gaze on Wu Tian and said, "Ruoqi, is what you're saying true? Are you really only in your twenties?"
"But how could you become an immortal at such an age?"
Facing Bai Yunshan's shock, Wu Tian smiled faintly, "Old Master Bai, there's no need for me to lie to you about this, is there? What Ruoqi said is correct. I am indeed her classmate, and we grew up together."
"To be honest, I was quite surprised when I found out Ruoqi was the daughter of the Bai family."
Bai Yunshan exclaimed, "This is truly incredible! Since you are Ruoqi's classmate, it means you are not from a hidden spiritual sect."
"In that case, not only have you reached the peak of spiritual cultivation at such an age, but you have also obtained an immortal root and become an immortal. This is truly unheard of!"
