Shen Luo recalled the promise he had made to his Martial Granduncle. He finally made up his mind and turned around. "Alright, I agree to represent Little Mao Mountain in this Martial Gathering of the Three Realms."
"Good! Shen Daoyou is indeed a straightforward person. I will also guarantee that the Spring and Autumn Temple will recognize its ancestors and return to Little Mao Mountain. I will also protect it from the threat of the Heavenly Yin Gate. "Chen Shiyuan was overjoyed. He suddenly stood up and patted his chest.
Qin Guan lowered his eyes and felt excited. He was secretly grateful to Shen Luo for his kindness.
"How long until the Martial Gathering of the Three Realms begins?" Shen Luo asked.
"It will begin in about ten days. Shen Daoyou can take this opportunity to make some preparations. If you need my help, please don't hesitate to ask." Chen Shiyuan took out a Sound Transmission Disk and handed it over.
"Thank you." Shen Luo didn't stand on ceremony and accepted it.
The two of them discussed the important matters of the Martial Gathering of the Three Realms in detail. Chen Shiyuan blurted out that he wanted to check on the other branches and took his leave.
Shen Luo didn't ask him to stay and personally saw him out.
"Junior Brother Shen, the Martial Gathering of the Three Realms is quite dangerous. Are you confident?" Qin Guan couldn't help but ask as he watched Chen Shiyuan leave.
"Senior Brother Qin, don't worry. I know what I'm doing." Shen Luo said with a smile.
Qin Guan's heart relaxed a little when he saw this. However, his brows were still filled with worry.
The two of them chatted for a while before Qin Guan also took his leave.
Shen Luo walked back and forth in the hall for a while before suddenly turning around and entering the secret room again.
…
The next day, Shen Luo left the Spring and Autumn Temple and quickly returned to Chang 'an.
Chang 'an City was as lively as before. The city was already packed with people. Even outside the city, all kinds of tents and simple houses were temporarily set up. It was a magnificent sight.
At the city gate, a notice announced the specific time and place of the Martial Gathering of the Three Realms. However, the schedule and rules of the competition were still not announced.
Shen Luo looked around for a while, and then walked into the city.
The city gate was crowded with people, and the bustling scene was even more lively than when he had left earlier. Shen Luo passed through the main street, and he could not stand the people around him, so he turned into a lane with fewer people.
"Shen Luo..."
In the end, just as he stepped into the alley, a familiar voice came from not far away.
Shen Luo raised his head and looked towards the second floor of a restaurant around the corner. He saw Bai Xiaotian holding a wine cup in one hand and leaning half of his body out, waving at him with a smile.
Just as he was about to reply, another head popped out from beside Bai Xiaotian. His face was also brimming with smiles.
"Xiao Yun?" Shen Luo asked in surprise.
"Elder Brother Shen, come up quickly," Bai Xiaoyun greeted him warmly.
Shen Luo smiled. He turned around and entered the restaurant. Soon, he arrived at the second floor and sat down.
"Elder Brother Shen, ever since we parted in Jianye, it seems like we have not seen each other again?" Bai Xiaoyun poured a cup of wine for Shen Luo and lamented.
Shen Luo recalled that it seemed to be true. The subsequent times he saw Bai Xiaoyun were all in his dreams.
The Bai Xiaoyun in front of him was much more mature than when he was in the Bai family in Jianye. The childishness on his face was gone, and he looked much more mature. However, he did not match the Elder Ancestor of the Bai family in his dreams.
Shen Luo looked at him and was lost in thought for a while.
"What are you thinking about..." Bai Xiaotian patted him on the shoulder and scolded jokingly.
"In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yun has grown up a lot too," Shen Luo came back to his senses and said in a daze.
Hearing this, Bai Xiaoyun's face froze. He was speechless and said, "Elder Brother Shen, no matter what, I'm already over a hundred years old. Don't treat me like a young boy..."
"Haha... Brother Bai, weren't you in seclusion to prepare for a breakthrough? Why are you out so soon? "Shen Luo turned around and asked with a smile.
"I was about to break through the previous time, but I suppressed it to see you and came out in advance. Not long after, I broke through the realm. Plus, Xiao Yun is back, so I took the opportunity to come out of seclusion. What about you? Didn't you send a letter saying that you're reopening the Temple of Spring and Autumn... Eh, speaking of which, I should call you Temple Master Shen, "Bai Xiaotian said seriously.
Hearing this, Shen Luo reached out and tidied his clothes. He sat upright and stared straight at Bai Xiaotian.
Bai Xiaotian was slightly stunned and did not react.
"Brother, Elder Brother Shen just wants you to pay respects to the temple master," Bai Xiaoyun said while holding back his laughter.
Only then did Bai Xiaotian react. He looked at Shen Luo with resentment, then stood up and bowed.
After all, he was once a disciple of the Temple of Spring and Autumn.
"Why do you need to pay respects to me? If you have time to come back, just burn some incense." Shen Luo pretended to be surprised and laughed evilly.
Bai Xiaotian suddenly felt a little stuffy. He sat down and opened his folding fan, fanning himself rapidly. Bai Xiaoyun held his stomach and laughed.
"You're not going back to Chang'an this time to join in the fun and watch the Three Realms Martial Meet, right?" Bai Xiaotian paused and asked.
"I'm not going to watch, I'm going to participate," Shen Luo nodded and said.
"You're going to participate in the Three Realms Martial Meet?" Bai Xiaotian frowned and raised his voice.
Bai Xiaoyun, who was beside him, also frowned and looked over.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Shen Luo asked, puzzled.
"Why do you want to participate?" Bai Xiaotian asked, puzzled.
Shen Luo could tell that Bai Xiaotian did not want him to participate in the Martial Meet. Although he found it strange, he still explained, "It's not that I want to participate. The upper sect of the Little Mao Mountain sent someone to look for me …"
After listening to Shen Luo's explanation, Bai Xiaotian's expression was still uneasy. He asked, "How much do you know about the Three Realms Martial Meet?"
Shen Luo frowned and told him everything that the Little Mao Mountain had told him.
"Oh you, you've been tricked." Bai Xiaotian closed his folding fan and put down his wine cup. He said with a serious expression.
"What do you mean? Is there more to the Three Realms Martial Meet?" Shen Luo asked, puzzled.
Bai Xiaotian shook his head and said, "It's not much of an inside story. It's just that some information is only circulated within some sects. Those guys from the Little Mao Mountain obviously hid it from you.
"What information?" Shen Luo frowned.
"They didn't mention the detailed schedule of this Martial Meet, right?" Bai Xiaotian asked.
"They said that because this is the first Martial Meet, all the rules and regulations have a far-reaching impact. The differences between the various sects are greater, so the specific schedule and rules will only be confirmed later." Shen Luo nodded.
"That's where the problem lies. In fact, when they went to inform you, the various rules have already been set. It's just that they haven't been announced to the world. The most important rule is that this Martial Meet requires the signing of a Life and Death Contract. Once you enter the Secret Territory, you're responsible for your own life and death." Bai Xiaotian said.
"In the past, most of the Martial Meets stopped at a certain point. Although there were occasional accidents that led to casualties, I've never heard of a Life and Death Contract that requires the signing of a Life and Death Contract in advance. Could it be that the rules of this Martial Meet encourage killing?" Shen Luo thought for a while and asked.
