Old Ancestor: Thrown Out By The Nanny From The Start Novel - Chapter 317

Chapter 317: Emperor Baih

“Is she going to surrender?” Firey was a little frustrated because she didn’t get to punch the woman.

Surrendering was so boring!

Her hand paused in the air. As Soochin was kneeling, she couldn’t hit her. She couldn’t attack someone who had surrendered.

“Master!” Soochin bowed her head respectfully.

“Are you talking to me?”

Firey was dumbfounded. The woman wanted to be her master only a moment ago, but why was she calling her master now?

That was so strange.

At that moment, the crowd knelt on the ground as well.

“Your Majesty!”

“Kiddo, she’s talking to me.” Emperor Baih landed in the arena, his tone rather mild.

He then gazed at the crowd. “Rise.”

Everyone rose to their feet with the same question in their heads. Why was Emperor Baih here?

The emperor was a busy man. Although Soochin was his pupil, this battle wasn’t important enough to make him come all the way here. The only explanation was that he was here for this flaming girl.

Upon reaching the conclusion, the crowd was relieved. They had all watched the girl fight and could tell how talented she was.

Emperor Baih addressed her before talking to anyone else. His attitude indicated his purpose.

“Master, as I reported earlier—”

“I can see it myself!” Emperor Baih cut Soochin off.

She was losing the battle and still asked him to come here. He felt ashamed of his pupil. But he wasn’t here for the battle. He came for the girl.

She was the essence of nature!

Something like this would only happen by coincidence. If he missed his chance, he would never get another one. Therefore, Emperor Baih created a projection of himself and sent it here.

Emperor Baih slowly walked up to Firey and asked softly, “What do you call yourself?”

“Call? I’m not calling anyone. I’m very quiet,” said Firey.

Emperor Baih’s face darkened. He didn’t believe that Firey didn’t understand him. It was a simple question, yet she gave him a strange answer. The only explanation was that she didn’t want to tell him her name.

“What’s your surname?” Emperor Baih tried again.

He didn’t think the owner of the essence of nature would let her wander around. Still, he thought he should ask first. If she belonged to those people, he would have to back off.

“I take my master’s surname. You should ask him.” Firey pointed at Himmel Soan, who didn’t seem concerned.

Firey didn’t understand why Emperor Baih asked that question, but letting her master explain everything was always the right thing to do. She was told the surname Soan was forbidden in the whole continent, so she couldn’t answer that question anyway.

She also knew the power of an emperor. Therefore, she spoke as little as possible when Emperor Baih was around. In the end, she successfully passed the ball to Himmel Soan. She believed he would solve all problems.

Emperor Baih frowned before looking at Himmel Soan. He didn’t realize a man was there until he looked at him. This gave him a familiar feeling.

Yes!

Baihin City!

The city lord had mentioned a man, and he was intrigued back then. He even wanted to invite him to the Baih family. He never expected to see him here.

“Were you in Baihin City earlier?” Emperor Baih asked nicely.

“Yes,” Himmel Soan said.

He was planning to talk to the eight emperors, and one of them appeared in front of him before he even lifted a finger. Although it was only a projection, it still counted.

“What’s your name? I’d like to invite you to the Baih family in Cloud City.”

“I’m just an independent cultivator. Names don’t matter. I accept your invitation to the Baih family.”

“Who’s this girl?”

“I adopted her, and she’s been with me since she was born. Problem?”

Himmel Soan gave a straightforward answer. He didn’t want to beat around the bush because that was too much trouble. He liked to be straightforward.

Emperor Baih was perplexed. He had several plans on how to talk to Himmel Soan. Unfortunately, his effort had proved to be redundant.

The other party’s frankness made things much more manageable.

Emperor Baih could learn a lot from Himmel Soan’s answer. For instance, he now knew the relationship between Himmel Soan and Firey, as well as the force behind them.

Judging by the tone, the man didn’t represent any family or any force.

Emperor Baih was relieved.

“I want to take her in as my pupil. I’ll teach her all my skills and experiences,” Emperor Baih said as if he was talking about a petty thing.

The crowd was astonished.

All his skills and experience?

Even emperors’ personal disciples wouldn’t be given that treatment. Yet Emperor Baih had just made that promise. He made the announcement in front of everybody, too, which meant he was serious about it.

Emperor Baih’s reputation would be affected if he broke his promise.

“Even Soochin didn’t get to learn those things. That girl is receiving incredible treatment…”

“Didn’t you watch the battle? Obviously, the girl is incredibly talented. She’s a genius, so she should be treated as such.”

“I still can’t believe it!”

“I’m just curious if the girl will say yes.”

“I don’t know about her, but I know her master wouldn’t let that happen.”
