"I didn't even use my magic power, but I was still discovered. This guy's cultivation level doesn't seem high, but he's so vigilant and decisive." Lu Ying looked at the empty street and said in surprise.
"What a pity … If I could get the Flying Escape Talisman, it would be a great merit." Lu Ying sighed.
…
On the other side, Shen Luo brought Bai Xiaoyun to an empty street corner not far from the Bai Family.
"What's wrong, Big Brother Shen?" Although Bai Xiaoyun was confused, he knew that something must have happened.
Shen Luo pondered for a moment and said, "Just now, I sensed a trace of killing intent in the dark of the alley. It was well hidden."
"Was it coming for me or the Flying Escape Talisman?" Bai Xiaoyun was shocked and asked.
"Of course it was the Flying Escape Talisman, but there's no difference. Since that person dared to snatch the talisman, he must have the intention of killing you and robbing you," Shen Luo said.
"Who would dare to have such thoughts in Jianye City?" Bai Xiaoyun asked doubtfully.
"As long as the temptation of benefits is enough, anyone would dare to have the intention of killing. However, I'm guessing that it's most likely someone from the Lin or Du Family. "Shen Luo frowned.
Bai Xiaoyun thought for a while and suddenly said in horror, "Big Brother Shen, are you saying that it was a trap for them to provoke me into taking out the Flying Escape Talisman?"
"That's not necessarily the case. They didn't expect that you could really take out the Flying Escape Talisman. It was probably just a sudden idea." Shen Luo smiled and said.
"Big Brother Shen, I also find it strange. Why did Father allow you to take out the Flying Escape Talisman?" Bai Xiaoyun thought for a while and asked.
"The answer is, of course, that this talisman isn't the Flying Escape Talisman." Shen Luo took out the Flying Escape Talisman and shook it.
"What?" Bai Xiaoyun's eyes widened in shock.
Shen Luo raised his eyebrows and asked, "This is called the Flying Charm. It's not as good as the Flying Escape Charm, but it's still my treasure. I've used it twice, and it's consumed a lot of spiritual energy. Tell me, what should I do?"
"That's easy. Doesn't Lin Biqiu still owe us fifteen immortal jades? Once we get them, I won't take a single one. I'll just give them all to you," Bai Xiaoyun said with a smile.
"That won't do. If it weren't for your bait, we wouldn't have been able to catch so many big fishes. Let's split the Immortal Jades 50-50. Each of us gets half. "Shen Luo waved his hand and said.
"Big Brother Shen, now I know why my brother treats you as a friend." Bai Xiaoyun looked at Shen Luo from head to toe and nodded.
"Why?" This time, it was Shen Luo's turn to be puzzled.
"Because you are kind, haha …" Bai Xiaoyun laughed loudly.
Hearing this, Shen Luo also revealed a smile.
However, after laughing, his expression became more serious. He said, "Xiaoyun, you should pick up the matter of cultivation again. Don't waste it like this."
"Why wouldn't I want to cultivate? It's just that I was assassinated by a ghost cultivator who was our family's enemy when I was young. If it weren't for my brother's protection, I would have lost my life. In the end, the Yin energy entered my body and destroyed my foundation. There's no hope for me to cultivate anymore. "Bai Xiaoyun's expression darkened.
Shen Luo's eyes flashed. He finally understood why Bai Xiaotian treated him differently when they were at the Spring and Autumn Temple. It seemed that he and Bai Xiaoyun had similar circumstances when it came to cultivation, but he never gave up.
"Fortunately, my brother is still at home. His talent is extraordinary. As his younger brother, I can only look up to him." Bai Xiaoyun said with a relieved expression.
"Have you ever thought that your brother doesn't want you to give up like this? Instead, he wants you to continue cultivating?" Shen Luo asked.
"No matter how I cultivate, it's just a joke. Why bother?" Bai Xiaoyun smiled bitterly.
"Xiaoyun, if I told you that two years ago, I was still a pitiful person who could lose his life at any time, would you believe me?" Shen Luo hesitated and said.
Hearing this, Bai Xiaoyun's eyes flashed with doubt. He looked at Shen Luo.
Shen Luo was silent for a moment. Then, he slowly told Bai Xiaoyun about how he was attacked by the Yin energy and how he struggled to survive in the Spring and Autumn Temple. However, he hid all the unimaginable things like the Nameless Heavenly Book and the jade pillow.
Bai Xiaoyun listened quietly. However, the expression in his eyes became more and more complicated. After a while, he let out a long sigh and asked with a serious expression, "Brother Shen, I really can't imagine how you survived all those years."
"Actually, when you focus on the goal of surviving, it's hard to care about whether the process is difficult or not. Because you have no other choice." Shen Luo said word by word.
"After that incident, I actually didn't give up. However, as time passed, my cultivation didn't improve at all. Seeing the gap between my brother and me widening, I gave up in the end. I thought that even if the sky collapsed, there would be my father and brother to hold it up. If they couldn't, there was still the ancestor. I was really … too stupid." Bai Xiaoyun said after a moment of silence.
"I'm telling you all this because I want to tell you that no matter how difficult something is, as long as there's a one in ten thousand chance of success, you have to put in ten thousand times the effort. Don't give up so easily. You don't want to be a good-for-nothing in the eyes of others forever. "Shen Luo's expression became more serious as he continued.
"I understand." Bai Xiaoyun's eyes lit up as he said.
It was as if a dying little flame in the depths of his heart had been reignited.
"What do you think of Lin Biqiu and Du An?" Shen Luo suddenly changed the topic and asked.
"The Lin family has always refused to accept our Bai family. Lin Biqiu is the same. He always wants to suppress me, so he always targets me. Du An can be considered as half of his follower. He has done a lot of things on a daily basis … "
Shen Luo listened to his description and couldn't help but frown slightly.
"However, Lin Biqiu is evil in the open. He doesn't have many evil thoughts behind his back. Du An, on the other hand, seems to be Lin Biqiu's lackey, but in fact, many disgusting ideas come from him. The few conflicts I had with Lin Biqiu were all caused by him. Therefore, to be honest, I'm more wary of him. "Bai Xiaoyun said.
"You see it clearly." Shen Luo saw this and nodded approvingly.
"Big Brother Shen, I'm just not cultivating. It's not like I don't use my brain." Bai Xiaoyun said helplessly.
"The world is not as stable as you think. In fact, many signs of chaos have already appeared. Jianye City is not stable. As an exorcist family, your Bai family is also in the middle of this whirlpool. Bai Xiaotian is not by your side, so you have to be more careful. "Shen Luo said.
"Big Brother Shen, I'm still a little curious. Previously, I didn't get along well with you. Why are you helping me this time?" Bai Xiaoyun suddenly asked seriously.
