Chapter 586: Chapter 586: The Family Head’s Token, Bai Family’s Golden Saber!

"You’re really something. I couldn’t care less about whether you can become the Jiang City County Secretary, and I certainly haven’t thought about marrying you."

"And stop taking advantage of me; let go of me already."

Bai Yanran said with a delicate voice, trying to pull her hand back, but she couldn’t.

Xu Qianli, determined not to release her hand, not only did not let go but instead pulled Bai Yanran into his embrace and kissed her red lips fiercely, prying open her teeth and kissing her passionately.

Bai Yanran pushed Xu Qianli hard.

That despicable guy had clearly agreed that only if he became the Jiang City County Secretary within three years would she become his woman, but there he went, heedless of consent, continuously taking advantage of her. It was infuriating.

Despite using all her strength, Bai Yanran couldn’t push Xu Qianli away, feeling utterly astonished.

Even though she had been immersed in the business world over the years, she never neglected her martial arts training, and her strength was formidable.

In the past, dealing with Xu Qianli had been effortless.

But today, even using all her might, she couldn’t push this man away.

It was clear his strength had improved and now surpassed hers.

It was unthinkable that he had caught up to the capabilities she had painstakingly developed over more than twenty years in just a mere three months.

A prodigy, a marvel, a peerless genius!

What kind of man had she encountered? It was terrifying.

Everyone said Bai Muqing’s talent was exceptional, which was why she could be considered the most formidable among the young generation in the country, but compared to Xu Qianli, she probably stood no chance at all.

This man was undoubtedly a monster.

Perhaps he really could become the Jiang City County Secretary within three years and fulfill their agreement.

As Bai Yanran was lost in her chaotic thoughts, she suddenly sensed something amiss. Xu Qianli had grabbed her around the waist and was striding toward the room.

Even with the tips of her toes, she knew what Xu Qianli intended to do. She wanted to resist, but to no avail, as she was firmly taken into the room by Xu Qianli.

Seeing herself about to be taken advantage of by Xu Qianli, Bai Yanran’s heart raced; she didn’t know what to do.

Xu Qianli had already crossed the hall into the living room, about to carry Bai Yanran to her bedroom, when suddenly a light cough came from the living room.

Xu Qianli turned his head and froze.

He was startled to see that the Bai Family Matriarch was sitting on the sofa in the living room, smiling as she watched him and Bai Yanran.

The Matriarch was actually here!

Xu Qianli finally stopped kissing Bai Yanran’s lips and put her down, "So Grandma is here, Yanran didn’t tell me; I had no idea."

Bai Yanran wiped the corner of her mouth and fiercely glared at Xu Qianli, "Hmph, did you even give me a chance to speak?"

You scoundrel, just now you only cared about bullying me, kissing me wildly. Even if I wanted to tell you Grandma had arrived, I couldn’t get the words out.

Bai Grandmother chuckled, "Alright, you two lovebirds stop flirting for a moment. Little Xu, I heard you’re going to Wangdong Province, right? Our Bai Family still has some connections and energy there. Take this, and if you encounter any trouble, feel free to use it without any hesitation."

Xu Qianli saw that Bai Grandmother was holding a golden saber. Thinking it was just a precious blade, he took it without reservation, "Thank you, Granny."

Bai Yanran panicked, "You dare to just take it? Do you know what this saber is? It’s a symbol of our Bai Family, representing the Bai Family Patriarch. It can command almost all of our Bai Family members and mobilize all of the Bai Family’s energy! You’re really bold, how could you just take it?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qianli froze, staring at the golden saber in his hands.

He had thought it was just a little more valuable, but it turned out to be the Bai Family’s symbol.

Xu Qianli didn’t know how strong the Bai Family’s energy was, but judging from top-level masters like Bai Muqing and Lin Sao, it must be terrifyingly powerful, not inferior to any prominent family in the country.

After all, the Bai Family possessed a combat power that transcended the mundane. When it reached a certain level, it could overcome all difficulties, and there were few things they couldn’t accomplish.

Such a significant family symbol, the Bai Family’s Golden Saber, was now in his hands; what did this mean?

Realizing what the golden saber represented, Xu Qianli felt it was too hot to handle and promptly offered it back to Bai Grandmother with both hands.

"Granny, I didn’t understand the significance of this item before I took it, please don’t be upset."

"You should take this back; I’m not qualified to hold it."

Bai Grandmother said, "Since I’ve given it to you, naturally I’ve considered it. Our Bai Family, up to Yanran and Jinse’s generation, has only these two girls. One of them will have to be chosen as the successor. I was still considering who to pick until your appearance convinced me. Since you are the fiancé of both, our Bai family’s future is in your hands. It’s your rightful claim; only you deserve to hold it, and you must!"

Bai Grandmother made her intention clear—she had chosen Xu Qianli to be the successor.

This wasn’t an impulsive decision; she had given it great thought and discussed it with several Bai Family elders, all of whom had agreed.

The supreme symbol of the Bai Family, the Bai Family’s Golden Saber, now belonged to Xu Qianli.

And in the future, he would be the next Family Head of the Bai Family!

Bai Yanran said, "Granny, isn’t this too hasty? He and I, our marriage isn’t even set in stone yet, how can you be so sure he’ll definitely marry me? You don’t know, but he and I have an agreement—if he doesn’t become the Jiang City County Secretary within three years, I’m going to kill him!"

Bai Grandmother replied, "You don’t need to do it, if he doesn’t have the capability, I’ll do it for you. But I believe in his abilities. He will become a man worthy of you, Yanran. Just give him a little time, and he’ll make you believe he’s worthy of our Bai Family’s Golden Saber, and of you."

With Granny saying so much, Bai Yanran had nothing more to say. She bit her lower lip lightly, eyes brimming with water, and stared at Xu Qianli intently.

Granny has recognized you and given you the Golden Saber. You must not disappoint me, Granny, or our Bai Family!

Xu Qianli looked at the golden saber in his hands, his mind churning.

Since Granny gave it to him and the Bai Family’s high-level officials have acknowledged him, then there’s nothing to be afraid of; just go ahead and take it.

With a firm slap to his chest, Xu Qianli declared, "Granny, I won’t let you or the Bai Family down!"

Granny nodded with a smile, "I look forward to your performance. Alright, Granny won’t disturb the cozy lovebirds anymore. I’m off now. You two go back to what you were doing, continue, ha, try to promote me to a higher level soon, and let me see my great-grandchildren."

With those words, the grandmother left.

Xu Qianli and Bai Yanran saw Grandma off, then they turned to stare at each other, their eyes locked.

Bai Yanran reacted first, unnerved by Xu Qianli’s wolf-like gaze, she quickly rolled her eyes at him, "Just so you know, unless you fulfill our agreement, otherwise... Hey, you jerk, don’t you dare hold me..."
