Bai Xian Ming was surprised before his expression overwhelmed by happiness. He immediately hugged Heero's shoulder and pulled him into the district.
"Let's give the daughter and the father a room to talk, shall we?"
Heero turned toward Bai Xin Yue and the girl nodded. Indicating it was okay to leave her with the middle-aged man.
While dragging Heero with him, Old Man sent a barrage of questions about the wedding.
"So, where do you plan to hold the wedding? Who are you going to invite? How many?
Such a question came out of the old man's mouth.
But before both could enter the district, Wu Shen Lei stopped them. The young man's sharp eyes glued at Heero.
"Is it true?" He asked in a somber tone.
"What?" Heero instantly replied.
"The wedding! Between you and Xin Yue, is it true?"
This time Heero did not answer the young man. Wu Shen Lei donned himself with a stylish outfit that made his handsome face become more glowing. He also brought a bouquet of red flowers.
"It's true, we are going to hold the wedding here in two weeks, " Heero pointed his finger toward his district.
Bai Xian Ming stepped aside. It was a young people problem, as an elder, he decided not to meddle.
"Then let's have a spar! I want to make sure you are strong enough to protect her!" Wu Shen Lei declared a challenge.
Bai Xian Ming shook his head at Wu Shen Lei's decision.
"It's absurd, what does it matter to you? Who are you to her? I understand if you are her big brother or something, but you?" Heero found it absurd.
"Moreover, why would I waste my time with you to accompany you playing around? You know it yourself, do you? That you could never win against me!"
Wu Shen Lei kept his mouth and looked straight at Heero.
"You are just looking for an excuse. You want to have a spar against me so you have a justification. The justification that you can't win her heart because I am stronger than you! Because you are beaten by me, something like… A consolation maybe!?"
"You will be saying "Ah, he's strong and she deserves someone like him" something like that? So your wounded heart and pride would be less hurt!"
"Accept the bitter reality and move on! I am too busy to accompany you to play around!"
Heero tapped Wu Shen Lei's shoulder once and passed through him. The young man rooted on the spot with a vacant look plastered on his face.
Bai Xian Ming followed after Heero and said, "Don't you feel too harsh? He's just a young man who has his heart hurt because someone he loves about to marry another guy, "
"Oh, come on, Old Man. That's youth, he has to experience it once. I mean getting hurt or hurting others, that's youth no?" Heero shrugged his shoulders casually as he replied with nonsense.
Who knew the old man took his words seriously. He nodded and agreed to Heero's statement, "Indeed, he needs to get hurt so he won't hurt others because he knows how painful it was, "
"Or it could be the opposite because he knows how painful it was. He would have his revenge on other women or men, " Heero rolled his eyes at the old man who began to discuss unimportant things.
Both have their talk until they reach in front of the Xing Hotpot, "I have reserved a room so you can talk with their chief later!"
"I don't want a hotpot for lunch! I want a steak, Xing Steak House!" Bai Xian Ming objected.
"Then you can just book the room for yourself, why are you telling me now?"
"A treat from future in-laws will have a different taste… it makes the food more delicious…" The old man grinned at Heero. Old Ming looked incredibly happy apparently.
Heero merely rolled his eyes at the old man and called the owner of the Xing Steak House to book a room.
"You can wait for them there while I will pick up the guests!"
"But why would we meet them here? Wouldn't it be faster if we meet them in the dungeon? Moreover, I thought you have done the talk with them, " Old Ming thought today's meeting was supposed to be introducing each other, but it was not the case.
"Give and take, Grandpa Bai! You want their service to help you hunt the specter, but what can you give them in exchange for their service?"
"They are born to be hunters. So they make a living from hunting, whether it's a beast or specter. They can't get anything from hunting the specter, so you have to pay them. That's how the thing is working, right?"
Give and take, something he learned from the people here. One would not help you without a hidden motive.
Moreover, he was helping the Purple Mountain Tribe to blend in with the people on Earth. Money was essential for that and it would also help the tribe to solve their food crisis.
Heero left the old man in the restaurant while he went to pick up the chief and the elder of the Purple Mountain Tribe.
Not long after Heero left, Bai Tian Ming and Bai Xin Yue barged into the reserved room.
"Where that guy, Father!" Bai Tian Ming loudly asked.
"He left to pick our guests. You can wait with me here if you want to meet him!" The Old Man replied with his smiley face.
Bai Xin Yue herself immediately sat next to her grandpa and poured the drink for him.
Before Bai Xian Ming could take the glass, his son took it first and sat on the opposite.
"Father! I don't agree Xin Yue marries that guy!"
"Oh, why?" Old Ming took the second glass and asked. He was piqued by his son's objection to letting his daughter marry Heero.
"Let's not talk about the fact he has two wives, his origin also unknown. There's a rumor saying he came from a dungeon! There's no way I would agree my daughter married him!"
Bai Tian Ming began to pour his dissatisfaction out in front of his daughter and his father. Bai Xin Yur remained composed despite her father's objection.
"Oh, what's wrong with having two wives? Or four or even more? We work together with the Central Government to encourage this, don't we? Moreover, it does not matter with his origin, I found him as a fine young man, that's the matter!"
Bai Xian Ming shrugged his shoulders lightly and continued, "Moreover, this is Xin Yue's choice. Don't we agree with this? We will not meddle with her love life or marriage, "
"But I have to make sure she marries the right man, not any man who comes from an obscure origin!"
"Says someone who suddenly brought a woman home and said he wanted to marry her!" Old Ming smiled at his son.
"It was because I was afraid you would not agree if I told you where she came from. Moreover, she was just a normal woman with no power. It's completely different from this man!"
Both were talking about Bai Xin Yue's mother. The woman Bai Tian Ming deeply loved, the reason why he did not remarry even after she left him and her two daughters for forever.
The father and the son argued with each other while Bai Xin Yue was thinking about another matter, such as…
'What if Father knows Heero's age, it would be funny to see his reaction…'
As the Bai Family had their time discussing the marriage, Heero brought Dazekh out of the dungeon. The chief brought along two elders and a team leader from Purple Mountain Tribe's best hunter team.
"It's not bad as you told me, the air I mean, " was the first sentence escaped from Dazekh's mouth the moment he stepped onto Earth.
"It's because I have done my work here, you will know how bad the air is when you step out of my territory! This way, please!"
Heero led the group outside of his Martial House.
To his surprise, there was a group… No, a family was waiting for him. The Kang Family, Kang Seo-Yeon was with them and Heero recognized the old man and the lady, Kang Myung-Chul the grandfather, and Kang Sang-Hee the mother.
'The middle-aged man is the father then, Kang Yun-Cheol, '
Kang Seo-Yeon rushed over him and whispered something. She did not bother to hide her intimacy with Heero.
"Good, let's schedule that tonight! I have a matter in my hand now!"
