"Because you're Bai Xiaotian's younger brother." Shen Luo answered without hesitation.
Bai Xiaoyun's smile widened when he heard this answer. He suddenly thought of something and said, "Shen Tian, be careful.
"Elder Brother Shen, you should be more careful these days. Wu Tong, who was defeated by you last time, seems to be very close to that little girl Xie Yuxin recently. I guess he wants to find a backer to help him get back his face."
"Who's Xie Yuxin?" Shen Luo asked in surprise.
"She's the one with the highest cultivation among the guests in the family. She's also the only one who's in the early stage of Inedia. She's very pretty, but she has a bad temper. She likes to put on a cold face and pretend to be noble. Actually, she might not really care about Wu Tong, but it's best if you don't provoke her. "Bai Xiaoyun said.
"We're all guests of the Bai Family, and we're all working for the Bai Family. Won't your father do anything about it? "Shen Luo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Well … the Bai Family is a big family after all. The more people there are, the more disputes there are. Even if my father wants to do something about it, it's not easy for him to do so. In fact, there are many people in the Bai Family who have opinions about you. Don't trust the others too much. "Bai Xiaoyun scratched his head and said hesitantly.
Shen Luo's expression changed when he heard this. His impression of Bai Xiaoyun improved again.
In the end, he reminded Bai Xiaoyun to keep the flying talisman a secret. Bai Xiaoyun also patted his chest and promised not to mention it to anyone else.
The two of them then returned to the Bai Residence.
From that day onwards, the generous second young master of the Bai Residence suddenly turned over a new leaf and started cultivating again.
…
A few days later.
In Shen Luo's bedroom, there was a big wooden bucket. His body was soaked in the bucket with his eyes closed. He was cultivating the Nameless Art.
Wisps of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gathered and entered his body through the bucket. A layer of faint blue light was emitted from his body.
After a long time, he opened his eyes. There was a flash of joy in his eyes.
The cultivation content of the Qi Refinement realm was mainly to open up the various acupoints in the body. In this aspect, the Yellow Court Scripture and the Nameless Divine Art were similar.
After many days of trial and error, he started to apply the cultivation experience of the Yellow Court Scripture that he had comprehended in his dream to the cultivation of the Nameless Divine Art. His cultivation speed increased by quite a bit.
According to his estimation, there was still a gap between his current cultivation speed and that of geniuses like Bai Xiaotian and Ying Luo, but he could already surpass ordinary cultivators.
Shen Luo felt a little excited. He quickly closed his eyes and entered the state of cultivation again.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed.
During this period of time, Shen Luo basically did not go out, and spent all day in seclusion cultivating.
Thanks to his hard work, his gains were not small. He had opened up several acupoints on the Ren and Du meridians, and was slowly approaching the peak of the fifth layer.
On this day, he was cultivating in seclusion when a series of knocks came from outside.
Shen Luo opened his eyes. His brows were slightly furrowed, but they quickly smoothed out. He got up and went outside to open the courtyard door. A servant girl of about ten years old was standing outside.
Seeing Shen Luo appear, the servant girl revealed a respectful expression and said, "Young Master Shen, the head of the family invites you."
"Head of the family? Do you know what it is? "Shen Luo was slightly surprised and asked.
"The head of the family did not say. He only asked me to invite you to the Bright Mirror Hall." The servant girl said.
"Understood." Shen Luo responded. He was a little puzzled. The Bright Mirror Hall was the place where the Bai family discussed matters. Why would he be invited there?
The servant girl bowed and quickly retreated.
Shen Luo returned to his room and changed into a clean set of clothes. He walked towards the center of the Bai family's courtyard and quickly arrived at a bright hall.
The hall was very spacious. It was enough to seat ten to twenty people. At this time, almost all of them were seated.
These people were dressed differently, but their temperament was extraordinary. They all had a guest elder token on their waist. No one spoke.
Shen Luo stepped into the hall. He was secretly surprised. He had joined the Bai family for a period of time. Most of the time, he was cultivating in seclusion. Except for Taoist White Water and Wu Tong, it was the first time he met the other guest elders.
Bai He Cun and Third Elder Bai Jiangfeng were sitting in the main seats in the hall. A few Bai family members were sitting beside them. They looked very serious.
As if they heard someone come in, many guest elders looked towards the door. An invisible pressure pressed down on them.
Shen Luo had killed an Out of Body Stage monster beast in the dream. Why would he care about this pressure? He walked into the hall with a calm expression.
"Shen Luo is here. Come and take a seat." Bai He Cheng saw Shen Luo and said with a smile.
Seeing how Bai He Cheng greeted Shen Luo so warmly, the gazes on Shen Luo became sharper.
"Greetings, Family Head." Shen Luo bowed to Bai He Cheng and found a seat in the corner of the hall.
As soon as he sat down, a gaze filled with hatred looked at him from not far away.
Shen Luo turned to look. It was Wu Tong, who was struck down by his Little Lightning Talisman.
When Wu Tong saw that Shen Luo had noticed his gaze, an unnatural expression flashed across his face. He immediately looked away.
He was sitting with Taoist White Water behind a woman in red.
The woman in red had willowy eyebrows and smooth skin. She was extremely beautiful. She was tall and slender, especially with her long legs. Sitting there, she looked like a crane in a flock of chickens.
The woman's eyes were slightly closed as if she was resting.
"Big Brother Shen, what are you looking at? That woman is beautiful, but she's not a good person. "At this moment, Bai Xiaoyun appeared out of nowhere and sat beside Shen Luo.
"She's the Xie Yuxin you mentioned?" Shen Luo retracted his gaze and asked.
"Yes, that's her." Bai Xiaoyun nodded.
"Second Young Master, why did Family Head summon us here?" Shen Luo asked.
"You don't know? That's right. You've been staying in your room for the past few days. Something big has happened in Jianye City. "Bai Xiaoyun looked surprised and said in a low voice.
"Oh, what's the big deal?" Shen Luo's expression turned serious.
"It's a long story. You also know that there were ghosts in the Water Heating Pavilion a few days ago and three people died. That incident seems to be a bad start. During this period, especially in the past month, there have been a lot of ghost incidents in and out of Jianye City. There have been many casualties. Everyone in the city is in a state of panic. Father probably called you here to discuss countermeasures." Bai Xiaoyun frowned and said.
Shen Luo's heart was in turmoil. He didn't expect such a big thing to happen while he was cultivating in seclusion.
After a while, a young guest elder holding a folding fan came in from outside. He cupped his fists at Bai Hecheng and said, "Family Head, we were delayed by something. Please forgive us."
"Fellow Daoist Feng is here. Please take a seat."
Bai Hecheng nodded and sat up straight. He slowly said, "Almost everyone is here. Let's begin. I'm sure you've all guessed why I called you here today. It's about the ghost incidents in the city. "
