Chapter 703: Rapid Emotional Escalation, Killer Move! The Power Clan Arrives!_1

"Ward Tian?"

"He really left just like that, without wanting so many golden soul coins?"

"Damn, he's serious. I thought this guy was just putting on an act."

Cries of astonishment erupted from the crowd, faces showing disbelief, as Luo Yu's extravagant display had truly shocked everyone.

The Little Fatty, who had previous dealings with Luo Yu, was completely dumbfounded.

This guy, he just casually gave away a fortune equivalent to three times his family's wealth?

Luo Yu's act of spending money like water directly hit the competing suitors' confidence so hard, they began to question their life choices.

Bowing their heads and looking at the gift boxes in their hands, they felt somewhat embarrassed.

Embarrassment was one thing, but the main concern was that Luo Yu had casually dropped three mountains of gold and walked away—what were they supposed to do?

Were they also supposed to leave their gifts behind?

And while they could see that Bai Chenxiang had rejected them, leaving their gifts behind would simply amount to nothing.

They were reluctant to let go.

But if they took their gifts with them, wouldn't that just make them look stingy, highlighting that guy's generosity?

In an instant, all the suitors who had come to propose found themselves caught between a rock and a hard place.

Not just the group of suitors was confused, even the Bai Family clan members inside the Bai Residence were stunned.

In their lifetimes, they had never seen so much money. If they really had that much money, would their Min Clan still be struggling?

And yet, here was such a young person casually throwing it aside as if it were nothing.

No one thought Luo Yu was foolish, especially not after his clear articulation and polite demeanor just moments ago—it couldn't have been the act of a fool.

But if he wasn't foolish, why then would he leave behind so much wealth?

Could it be that he had so much money he simply didn't care about it?

The Bai Family clan members shook their heads continuously, that just couldn't be possible, absolutely not.

They couldn't even find a bag of golden soul coins on their Clan Leader Baihe, a Soul Douluo himself.

This young man couldn't possibly be stronger than Clan Leader Bai, could he?

Even if this young man had a background, supported by a Titled Douluo, they couldn't possibly have money to this extent, right?

Three mountains of gold, just given away like that.

After much thought, everyone could only come up with one reasonable answer.

That was, this young man's affection for their Miss had reached a point so deep it was ingrained in his bones; he completely disregarded any loss or gain.

Damn, now that's true love!

The eyes of the Bai Family clan members, including Clan Leader Baihe, lit up.

They felt this young man was someone they could get along with—after all, he truly did give away money!

"Chen Xiang, this young man seems promising!"

Bai Chenxiang came over, and glared at her grandfather.

Surprisingly, she didn't refute him, and said with annoyance:

"You don't have to tell me."

Clan Leader Baihe didn't hurry to respond and turned to the still lingering young talents.

He blandly issued a dismissal.

"The day is getting late, it is time for you all to please leave."

The crowd stood frozen in place, still contemplating one issue—whether or not to leave their gifts behind.

Pangxilai's eyes flickered with thought.

Seeing that it was hopeless with Miss Bai, leaving the gifts would just be letting the Min Clan profit for nothing.

Taking them back seemed more sensible.

With this thought, he couldn't help but chuckle.

He figured that once home, his dad would surely praise his son for being smart for once and saving a lot of money.

"Clan Leader Bai, then this junior will take his leave!" Pangxilai said, subtly tucking the gift box under his arm and left in a hurry.

"Everyone may go," said Clan Leader Baihe expressionlessly, without a trace of reluctance.

Seeing someone take the lead in taking their gifts with them, everyone else swiftly made up their minds.

They all departed hastily, not bringing up the subject of leaving their gifts behind.

However, as they reached the doorway, they couldn't help but cast one more glance at the three shining piles of gold, their lips twitching involuntarily.

Cruel!

So cruel!

Like a ruthless wolf.

Soon, the once bustling courtyard was emptied, leaving only the members of the Min Clan behind.

"Tsk! Such a petty bunch, taking everything with them, leaving nothing behind," Clan Leader Baihe shook his head.

Bai Chenxiang, with her graceful and aloof beauty, shook her head,

"Grandfather, you shouldn't say that."

"Since I have already rejected them, why should I accept their gifts?"

"It is only human to take things back."

Clan Leader Baihe laughed, "My granddaughter speaks truly."

"But that simply highlights how exceptional that young man is."

"Among all the suitors today, in terms of looks, demeanor, and generosity, no one could compare to that lad; it was like comparing heaven and earth, simply no contest."

"What, grandfather, you approve of him?" Bai Chenxiang asked, tilting her Beautiful Eyes.

"Of course! If I don't find him suitable, what kind of son-in-law would I be looking for?" Clan Leader Baihe said with a beaming smile.

Bai Chenxiang spat,

"Ptui, I think you haven't taken a liking to anything but his money, hoping to snag a wealthy son-in-law."

"Enough of that."

Clan Leader Baihe waved his sleeve, and a gust of wind surged through the courtyard, causing the Bai Residence's gates to close shut.

"You are my granddaughter, wouldn't I protect you from harm?"

"While the Bai Residence may be in need of money, I couldn't possibly sacrifice you for it, could I?"

"It goes without saying, you've reached the age for marriage, and I must consider your lifelong happiness."

"Tsk tsk."

Bai Chenxiang had an expression that said she had long seen through him.

"Right, marry off the granddaughter and then conveniently pocket a tidy sum, isn't that so?"

"Cough cough, how can you think of your grandfather like that?" Bai He coughed, "So many clan members are counting on me for food, and we're barely scraping by with odd jobs; we're struggling just to keep the pot boiling."

"Pfft." Bai Chenxiang said sternly, "I don't care about the rest, but as for these, not a single golden soul coin can be touched."

"Even in poverty, we can't lose our dignity."

"This isn't our property to spend. I don't want him to look down on our family."

A young clan member couldn't help but say,

"Miss, didn't he give all these to us?"

Bai Chenxiang glared over.

"Have you no pride? Just because someone gives you something, you should take it?"

"Need money? We can earn it ourselves!"

Seeing Bai Chenxiang's defiant attitude, Clan Leader Baihe sighed.

"Fine, fine, these things were gifted to you by your young admirer, so you call the shots."

"I am ordering, no one in the clan is to touch them."

"'Young admirer'? Grandfather, your words are unpleasant," Bai Chenxiang retorted with a blush.

"Oh, blushing, are you?" Clan Leader Baihe said, "It seems this is the first time I've seen you so coy because of a man."

"Hmph!"

Bai Chenxiang turned her head away, gazing in the direction of the closed gates.

A murmur flickered through her mind.

Will he come back tomorrow…

As the sun set and the moon rose, time swiftly slipped away, and nearly half a month had passed.

Ever since that day, Luo Yu had appeared punctually at the Bai Family Courtyard every morning,

coming to visit and propose marriage.

Undoubtedly, every proposal was rejected by the Miss of the Bai Family, but each rejection seemed softer than the last,

and by the end, it was more like a bashful refusal by a coy young girl.

Apart from Luo Yu, any other suitors that came to propose were denied even the chance to enter the Bai Residence, directly chased out by Bai Chenxiang's people, with no regard for manners or decorum.

In the Bai Family Courtyard, Bai Chenxiang was squatting on the stone steps facing the entrance.

Her two snow-white, beautiful legs crossed, wearing black leather boots.

Arms resting on her knees, fingers intertwined, cradling her smooth chin, her Beautiful Eyes staring blankly at the doorway.

She murmured with a hint of loneliness,

"It's been three days, three days have already passed."

"He hasn't come for three days."

"What exactly is going on..."
