Elemental Light Mage

Even though Xi Yeming's strength has indeed improved since coming to the magical world, the domineering power of the Goddess of Thunder is still engraved in Xi Yeming's memory.

When encountering the Goddess of Thunder, Angelina and I both knew that the best option was to escape.

But how come Bai Huzhi has the magic power of the Goddess of Thunder in his body?

Could it be that Bai Huchi is a descendant of the Goddess of Thunder? But Xi Yeming had never heard of any goddess talking about marriage, and he would probably suffer if he talked about this to the goddess in person.

In order to get more information, Xi Yeming had no choice but to continue asking: "Is your condition getting worse?"

"Yes, not long after I returned home after I separated from you, the power in my body tortured my body again and made me miserable."

The last time Xi Yeming checked Bai Hu Chi's body, he didn't find the power of the Goddess of Thunder inside it, but this time it popped out on its own.

At this time, the door of the room was knocked twice, and the servant's voice came from outside: "Miss, the master asked you to take the guest to the study."

Bai Huchi was interrupted and looked helpless. He had to put on his clothes and prepare to take Xi Yeming to see his father.

"I understand. Go and tell father that we will go right away."

"Didn't your father ask me to come here to treat you?" Xi Yeming felt puzzled. He always felt that Bai Jiesong asked him to come here for something else.

Bai Huchi shook his head and replied, "No, asking you for help is just my wishful thinking."

Xi Yeming had mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't understand why Bai Jiesong ignored his daughter's pain.

"Let's go, I'll go talk to Bai Jiesong in person."

Bai Huchi tidied up his clothes and manners, and brought Xi Yeming to Lord Bai's study.

The moment he stepped into the study, the pungent fragrance of ink was refreshing. Xi Yeming endured the fragrance in the air and stood in front of the desk.

Sitting at the desk was a middle-aged man with a beautiful beard on his face. Although his eyes were not bright, a ray of light radiated from the deep reflection, which could be said to be a sword-like eyebrow and a starry eye.

When Bai Jiesong saw the visitor, he stood up politely, walked to Xi Yeming, bowed and said, "Greetings to His Royal Highness."

After receiving such a salute, Xi Yeming's mind went blank for a moment, and he replied, "No need for the salute."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After Bai Jiesong finished speaking, both parties stood there motionless, staring at each other, neither knowing what the other was waiting for.

Bai Huchi guessed Xi Yeming's embarrassment and confusion, stepped forward and reminded him: "Your Highness, you can sit on the chair vacated by father now."

Xi Yeming suddenly realized what was going on. He walked over and sat on the wooden chair behind the desk.

"He also warmed me up, that's good."

Seeing that everything was in place, Bai Jiesong asked, "May I ask if your highness came to the minister's residence just after coming out of Qiao's residence?"

"you're right."

Xi Yeming was too lazy to lie about something that everyone knew. After all, not only would he lose face, but he might not be able to get any useful information.

"I would like to ask you which one do you think is better, the Qiao Mansion or the Bai Mansion?"

"Are you asking me about the environment and decoration?"

"The two mansions each have their own advantages. The Qiao Mansion is magnificent and makes people feel excited, while the Bai Mansion is quiet and elegant, which makes people relax."

I don't know what the other person is asking, so I just praise both of them and see how he answers.

Bai Jiesong: "We are grateful to receive such recognition from Your Highness."

"Can you please explain it quickly if you have something to say? What do you want to say when you always put up riddles?"

Xi Yeming held back his anger to prevent himself from venting it. He saw a book on the desk and picked it up to read, but his thoughts didn't seem to be in the book.

"Although I am a prince, I don't know what important duties Mr. Bai holds in the court. Can you tell me in detail?"

Bai Jiesong lowered his head and said, "I have several duties, the most important of which is to be the chief minister of the cabinet and handle the confidential documents of various ministries for Your Majesty for the first time."

Xi Yeming said absentmindedly: "Oh, then I have to call you Lord Bai."

"It is an honor for me to be called to my position by His Highness."

"Why is this person different from Mr. Qiao? Instead, he is very reserved and gives people a feeling different from his appearance."

"I heard that Qingliu, led by Mr. Bai Ge, and Mr. Qiao Guo's financial gang are hostile to each other. Is this true?"

"I wonder where Your Highness heard this from?"

Xi Yeming's eyes moved slightly and he tentatively replied: "I learned about it from the eldest princess."

Bai Jiesong straightened his back slightly and said, "Perhaps Her Royal Highness has some misunderstandings with the courtiers. I promise that I do not have any hostility with Mr. Qiao."

"Should I reply here? Is this news just groundless?"

After weighing the pros and cons, Xi Yeming decided that it would be better not to put pressure on Bai Jiesong when they met for the first time, in case he created another enemy for himself.

"I hope so," Xi Yeming flipped over the book in his hand, "So what is the matter that you called me here this time?"

"I have heard a little bit about His Highness's time at Kilgoed College. I heard that His Highness studied architectural design at the college. I would like to ask you to design a sculpture for the humble residence."

"What does sculpture have to do with architectural design?"

"Is this what you asked me to come for?"

"Yes, I wonder what His Highness the Prince wants?"

Asking him to install a sculpture on his territory was probably a way to tie him down. No matter what Bai Jiesong's intention was, Xi Yeming couldn't agree to it easily.

"Angelina said that there are no friends in politics. As expected, I still can't believe Bai Jiesong, but how should I answer him?"

"I can agree to it, but..." Xi Yeming deliberately kept the secret.

Bai Jiesong's eyes lit up, probably because he thought Xi Yeming wanted to negotiate terms with him to possibly cooperate, "But...?"

Xi Yeming said cunningly: "We need to wait for Elder Qiao to ask me to carve a sculpture for the Qiao Mansion. Then I will send the statue carved by me to your second mansion."

When Bai Jiesong heard this, he froze on the spot, and after blinking for a moment, he burst into laughter.

"Yes, I am ignorant and blinded, and I have forgotten that Your Highness should treat others with fairness."

"Haha," Xi Yeming also laughed along, but he didn't forget another thing, "Speaking of which, there is one more thing I want to ask Elder Bai, and it has nothing to do with the topic we are talking about."

Bai Jiesong did not react at all, and replied: "Since that is what Your Highness said, then it is our responsibility to support you."

Xi Yeming stretched out an index finger and slowly pointed it behind Bai Jiesong. Bai Huchi pointed at himself in surprise.

"I?"

"Mr. Bai Ge, I would like to ask what's going on with your daughter's health? Why hasn't she been treated for so many years?"

Bai Jiesong looked at his daughter and recounted the past: "My daughter accidentally ate an herb when she was young. The herb contained a lot of thunder and lightning elements that invaded her body. For more than ten years, my daughter has suffered from thunder and lightning. Not immune."

"Can't it be cured?"

"not much hope."
