Bai Haihong denied this, saying, "No, that’s not it. Although Chen Tianyang is young, he has already established himself as a dominant force in Changlin Province. Whether you look at his reputation, his wealth, or his personal martial prowess, he is truly a dragon among men, more than worthy of Yuqing."
"Oh? So Tianyang is that impressive? Then I am even more confused—why are you still opposed to this?" Elder Bai asked, puzzled.
Bai Haihong then recounted all that Chen Tianyang had done in Yuyun Province during this recent period, finally saying, "As the saying goes, the tree that stands above the forest will be destroyed by the wind. By wiping out the Sang family and slaying three Grandmasters, Chen Tianyang has already invited the wariness of the Huang family. If the Bai family were to truly stand with Chen Tianyang, it would undoubtedly bring a catastrophe down upon us. For the sake of the Bai family's interests, I must strongly oppose Yuqing being with him."
