"You know?" Xu Bai heard Ye Zi speak and turned his head to look around.

There are a lot of people now, and it is not suitable to talk about these things, so he took Ye Zi to a secluded place, and then asked the reason.

This is a secluded alley, no one comes and goes, and the surroundings are quiet, there are only the two of them at the moment, plus a four-grade puppet.

Ye Zi looked left and right, and then said his thoughts: "Childe, I have already said before, the situation of demons in this world, and in addition to demons, there is another, it is completely reversed......"

In the dark alley, Ye Zi's voice sounded one after another, and with Ye Zi's explanation, Xu Bai gradually understood the meaning.

Witch, in the previous place, he had already seen it, the so-called witch is to collude with the demon clan and obtain special abilities from the demon clan.

This kind of trade is extremely shameful, abandoned by all trades, and is a street rat, and everyone shouts and beats.

And this demon has a particularly strict relationship between superiors and subordinates, mainly because the demon is the superior and the man is inferior, so it can be said that the person serves the demon clan.

Not long after the rise of this industry, it was hit hard, and those who escaped by luck were another kind of innovation on this basis.

- Demon Master.

is also colluding with the demon clan, but the so-called demon master is another kind of relationship, he completely reversed the relationship between his superiors and subordinates, and became a human superior, and a demon is inferior.

They no longer borrow any power from the demon clan, but purely enslave them, making the demon clan their pet, and the way of fighting is to use the demon clan to attack and defend.

One of them is similar to the beast trainer, which is relatively weak in itself, and the second of them is to completely fuse the demon race, strengthen their own physical body, and carry out pure fighting.

It is precisely because of this that this profession has gradually been recognized.

In fact, this profession is recognized, and the reason is very simple, that is, the reversal of the relationship between superiors and subordinates, sometimes it is so funny.

If you are enslaved by the witch, then you will shout and kill and enslave the demon clan, then it will be barely acceptable.

Originally, after being accepted, it could actually develop slowly, but then an anomaly occurred, which made the industry completely deadlocked, and now it can only survive in the shadows.

To enslave the demon clan, you must give enough fresh blood food, otherwise if you don't give the horses grass, how can the horses run?

Blood, on the other hand, is human.

If you don't give it, the demon clan will decline day by day, and the people who enslave the demon clan will also decline.

It is precisely for this reason that the profession of demon master was not recognized after all, and finally became a rat crossing the street, and he lived in fear every day.

"Childe, after these people died, their internal organs were completely gone, and they were clean, I wonder if they were eaten alive?" Ye Zi said: "The demon clan likes to eat people's internal organs, this is a truth since ancient times. ”

Xu Bai touched his chin and read what Ye Zi said from beginning to end.

Even if the demon master did it, it didn't seem to have anything to do with him, after all, how could those who wanted to assassinate him kill ordinary people inexplicably?

"If such a big thing happens, the Heavenly Supervisor will definitely come, so I'll see when the time comes." Xu Bai thought for a moment and said.

Let's wait and see what happens, this matter is handled by the Heavenly Supervisor after all, it's not his business, he gets the progress bar first, and then he will talk about it, if the follow-up is found to be related to the assassination of him, that's when he should take action.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai took Ye Zi and went back to the Ye family.

……

After returning to Ye's house, in the next few days, Xu Bai stayed inside, and did not go out again, and someone brought him a meal, but he was also at ease.

In his spare time, in addition to the entertainment activities on weekdays, he is in the Liver Nameless Knife Sutra, and after these days of non-stop back and forth liver, he finally gave a new Nameless Knife Sutra to the liver.

"Call someone to clean up, and then don't let them bother me." Xu Bai wiped his mouth and put Kuaizi aside.

"Yes, Childe." Ye Zi nodded, called the two maids, asked them to clean up this place briefly, stepped forward and closed the door, and then sat next to Xu Bai.

Xu Bai stared intently at the Nameless Sword Sutra, and the last trace of the progress bar, after he looked at it for a while, finally reached perfection.

In the room, blue smoke appeared in the middle of the air, and after the blue smoke appeared, it gradually converged in mid-air, gradually forming a line of text.

[You observe the Nameless Sword Sutra and comprehend the twenty-four heart methods (remnants) of armor piercing. 】

Xu Bai: "? ”

Mental method, this is the second time that mental method has appeared, he rubbed his hands a little excitedly, waiting for the smoke to merge.

Soon, the blue smoke quickly disappeared, and then reappeared, converging into new words.

[Fusion options have been discovered, and they are being fused.] 】

[Armor Breaking Twenty-four Heart Method + Reversing Zixiao Gangfeng Yin and Yang Breaking = Reversing Zixiao Gangfeng Yin and Yang Breaking. 】

[Fusion successful. 】

Xu Bai: "......"

He wants to say now, Xiaojin, you have changed, you have become casual, why don't you even change your name now?

Anyway, change your name, you merge and don't even change your name, it will make me think you're rotten.

Of course, in fact, Xu Bai thought about it carefully, it is normal not to change the name, the name that was changed once before is also suitable for the mental fusion of the Nameless Sword Sutra, and now it is still fused like this, and it can be said that it is reasonable if it is not changed.

Thinking like this, the blue text disappeared, and immediately after, the latest panel appeared.

[Name: Xu Bai.] 】

[Realm: Sanpin Sanren. 】

[Five Styles of Knife (7th Level): Full level. 】

[Upside Down Zixiao Gangfeng Yin Yang Break (7th Order): Full level. 】

[Return Wind Drift Snow (Tier 5): Full level. 】

[Xing Break Three Turns (Level 5): Full level. 】

[Dou Zhuan Xing Shift (Tier 4): Full level. 】

[Vajra Heart Demon Body (Tier 4); Full level. 】

[Kidney Enhancement Technique (Tier 5): Full level. 】

[Hundred Poisons True Solution (Level 3): Full level. 】

[Karakuri Puppet (Tier 6): Max Level. 】

[Indestructible Body (Remnant) (Tier 5): Full level. 】

[Understanding: Full level.] 】

……

Information flashed in his mind, and then, Xu Bai felt that his whole body was full of strength.

The True Yuan Force in his body was much more than before, and the most important thing was that he had already faintly felt that the True Yuan Force was about to break through his body.

However, before the True Yuan Force broke out of his body, there was still a layer of obstacle that stopped him from it, and he couldn't break out of it.

Three products!

He has now entered the third grade, which has changed dramatically, but he is still far from the second grade, after all, he does not have a new progress bar to improve.

The second grade is a huge watershed, and he is now hindered in the slightest, probably because he did not enter the second grade.

"It's a pity." Xu Bai shook his head, and said secretly in his heart: "If only I could have a little bit, it would be good to give me a second grade." ”

He actually has a sense of regret, if he is known by others, he will definitely beat his chest.

From the time he stepped into this circle to now, it has not been a year since he entered the third grade, which is not the most critical.

Entering the third grade is still possible for some top geniuses, but his current combat effectiveness can even touch a pin, which is a bit outrageous.

With his sword intent, coupled with all kinds of full-level abilities all over his body, it is not possible to fight him with ordinary products, and he may even overturn.

Anyway, he estimated that the second product was now in his hands, and he could already handle it casually.

As for the three products......

I'm sorry, come and play as much as you want.

In fact, the main thing is the knife intent, which has substantially doubled his knife skills.

"The Nameless Knife can continue." Xu Bai thought about it in his heart, took out another book and continued to get up.

Now there are fifteen books left, we must hurry up, how much can the liver, in case the liver can come up with a heart method, wouldn't it be wonderful?

Ye Zi watched Xu Bai continue to read on the side, and did not make a sound, took out the incense burner from the small cabinet next to him, and lit the precious sandalwood.

Then, she supported her chin with her fair and slender hands, and looked at Xu Bai so fixedly, unable to take her eyes off......

……

On the other side, the head of the Ye family sat on a chair, looking at the ceiling with dull eyes.

It's been a few days, and in the past few days, she has been thinking about it, thinking about the deal Xu Bai said.

Xu Bai's evaluation of her is not wrong at all, she is not like a family owner, but more like a shrewd businessman.

Since Xu Bai said that deal, the Ye family master had actually agreed, but she wanted a little more.

You can't give it away for nothing, can it?

But it's too much, and she is afraid that she will make the other party unhappy, and if she wants less, she will feel a loss, so she will fall into a dilemma.

All in all, I want to make money, but I don't want to offend people.

"Hiss......" The head of the Ye family took a deep breath, rubbed his face with his hand, and finally finalized his thoughts.

"Someone."

As she shouted these two words, two maids came from outside the door, standing respectfully beside her.

"I invite Lord Xu to the living room, I have something important to discuss."

The two maids nodded, and were about to leave, telling Xu Bai about the matter, but they didn't expect to be stopped before they could walk out.

Ye Yu stopped the maid and said, "Family master, this matter is big, and you have to think twice before acting." ”

The head of the Ye family was slightly stunned, waved away the two maids, and then looked at Ye Yu with an interested gaze.

Ye Yu lowered his head and did not look at the Ye family master.

"How do you know what Xu Bai wants?" The head of the Ye family asked.

Although Ye Yu didn't say it very clearly, she could already feel it inside and outside the words, Ye Yu seemed to know about her deal with Xu Bai.

Ye Yu gritted his teeth and said, "I accidentally heard it." ”

"Accidentally?" The head of the Ye family said playfully: "You are careless, but you are really careless." ”

Ye Yu's body trembled slightly, and he quickly knelt on the ground: "Family master, this is a precedent that has never been set in the family, is it really to give up the family's exercises?" It's going to be looked down upon. ”

This sentence was hoarse and touching, as if she was seriously thinking about her family.

The head of the Ye family hugged his hands, and his concave and convex figure was particularly obvious.

She stood up, slowly paced in front of Ye Yu, and said, "I know your careful thoughts, but now that Ye Zi has also completed her task, there will be nothing more about you, besides, you gave up before." ”

Ye Yu trembled again and did not speak again.

The head of the Ye family continued: "I don't care how you fight in your family, but once you get out of the door of the Ye family, you are not allowed to offend her again, that is the rule of the Ye family, tomorrow the second young master of the Kong family will come over, that is your destination." ”

"Can be exercised......" Ye Yu said with a wince.

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Ye family master.

"You want revenge, you don't want them to get what they want." The head of the Ye family said slowly: "But you have to be clear, I am the head of this family, and I can see farther than you." ”

As the head of the family, he was able to slowly get the Ye family from the bottom to this point, and the head of the Ye family was naturally very courageous.

Just like Xu Bai's evaluation of her, she is a businessman, and she naturally knows what is good and what is bad.

If she changes her mind just because of one member, then she, the head of the family, will be in vain, and the Ye family will not have the current scenery.

"Let's go." The head of the Ye family said: "Tomorrow, the second young master of the Kong family is also here, you will follow him, you don't want to get involved in these things." ”

Ye Yu opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say another word, turned around and left.

After Ye Yu left, the head of the Ye family walked towards the door......

……

At this time, it was getting late, and Xu Bai had dinner and received a notice from the maid.

"Lord Xu, the head of the family said to be waiting for you in the living room." The maid lowered her head, respectfully announced, and hurried away.

When Xu Bai heard this, his eyes lit up, and he turned his head and glanced at Ye Zi.

Look at the meaning, the other party has already thought about it.

"Let's go." Xu Bai said a simple word, and then raised his feet and walked towards the living room.

After a while, he took Ye Zi to the living room, and in the living room, the head of the Ye family had been waiting here for a long time, and the hot tea had been served.

Xu Bai sat in his position, raised his hand, picked up the teacup in his hand, took a sip, and then looked at the Ye family master and said with a smile: "The Ye family master seems to have thought about it." ”

The Ye family master nodded.

Now that she has decided, she didn't have any ink, took out a book from her arms and handed it to Xu Bai.

"This is the Ye family's exercises, Yin fiber curvature, if you cultivate to perfection, you can enter the second grade."

"Can it be put into the second grade?" Xu Bai looked at the book in his hand, where a trace of progress bar appeared.

But he took a closer look and found that the growth rate of the progress bar was not particularly slow.

If it is a book that can be directly entered into the second grade, it will never be at this speed.

"It's true that it can be entered into the second grade, but that's just my claim to the outside world." The head of the Ye family said helplessly: "Lord Xu, since you talk to me about business, then I also have the integrity to do business, I don't lie to you about this matter." ”

Xu Bai put Yin Xianqu aside, did not speak, took another sip of tea, and waited for the next words of the Ye family master.

Since it was said that it was not allowed to enter the second grade, but it was declared to the public that it was okay before, there must be something wrong here.

But it's okay to be able to say it honestly.

If a person who doesn't know how to do it is here, he really can't see if he can enter the second grade, but Xu Bai can see it at a glance.

The head of the Ye family definitely didn't know that Xu Bai could see it, so he could completely ignore it and raise the height of this business.

But in the end, she still said it, and Xu Bai temporarily gave her a label of integrity.

After the Ye family master said this, he paused slightly, and continued: "If you understand the mystery, you can enter the fourth grade at most, that is to say, even if Ye Zi takes it, his strength will improve by leaps and bounds, and he will be gone when he reaches the fourth grade, and there is a reason for this, because this exercise is only the first volume." ”

Volume?

Xu Bai touched his chin and said, "Where is the next volume?" ”

Since there is an up, there must be a down, which is similar to having thick and thin, large and small.

I thought I would ask for the details of the next volume, but I didn't expect that the head of the Ye family said something diametrically opposite.

"There is no next volume." The head of the Ye family smiled bitterly: "In a special reason, it has been destroyed. ”

Xu Bai picked up the book again, looked through it again, and said, "Although I admire the integrity of the Ye family master, if you only have four grades, it may be greatly discounted." ”

Honesty is integrity, business is business, you can't lose money, right?

The head of the Ye family gritted his teeth, stood up with a bang, and said, "Lord Xu, I don't want anything, this exercise is given to you for nothing, but you only need to promise me one condition, and that's fine." ”

"Oh?" Xu Bai said: "Let's talk about it." ”

I don't want anything, but there is a condition.

It seems to be a very lucrative thing, but in fact, Xu Bai understands that this kind of thing that doesn't want anything is the most expensive.

The free ones are the most expensive, and this phrase is the most common in games.

Xu Bai used to play games a lot, but he was cheated in the free pit for a long time.

So he knows very well that what doesn't cost money is not necessarily cheap.

The Ye family master took a deep breath and said, "Lord Xu wants to recover, there is only one way, in the treasure house in the palace, there are a large number of similar exercises, as long as you find a suitable four-grade book and fuse with it, you can have the effect of the second grade." ”

Xu Bai smiled: "Is the Ye family master lying to me?" If these two books are combined, you can get to the second grade, and then the books in this world can be fused. ”

Two books together are one book, how can there be such a simple thing?

The head of the Ye family said: "I don't dare to lie to Lord Xu, Yin Fiber Song is first of all a song, if Ye Zi can enter the palace treasure house, as long as it involves the same type, it may not be able to be fused into a new song." ”

"Haven't tasted?" Xu Bai turned the teacup with his hand and said, "In other words, there is a possibility of failure, and I can't guarantee success here." ”

"That's what I need." The head of the Ye family said: "If it is successful, please Lord Xu give me the fused song, if it is not successful, I will not charge any additional fees." ”

After saying this, she had already explained it clearly, including what was needed for this transaction.

Xu Bai looked at the Ye family master with interest, and already understood what the Ye family master was thinking.

A strong family, in addition to the members of the family, the most basic thing is the exercises, and she wants to take a copy of the second-grade exercises back.

"Master Ye, it seems that your ambition is not small." Xu Bai said with a smile.

The head of the Ye family took a deep breath, did not hide his thoughts, and said bluntly: "If this goes on for a long time, with my current form of development, I will always be controlled by others, I am not strong, and others will never be reliable.

Lord Xu, this matter is not a loss to you, you can not only let Ye Zi get the second-grade exercises, but also get the eternal friendship of my Ye family. ”

Xu Bai let go of the teacup and said, "You haven't thought about it, what if I don't give it to you?" ”

"Since the beginning of Shengxian County, Lord Xu has never broken his promise, as long as it is the business you promised, it will be honest, I believe this, the Wuhua of King Kong Temple told me Lord Xu's personality." The head of the Ye family said very seriously.

Xu Baigang put the tea to his mouth, and when he heard it, he said, "Wuhua, has he been to you?" ”

It has been a long time since he had seen no flowers and catkins since he was promoted to the county, and now it really surprised Xu Bai to hear it.

I learned before that Wuhua is doing something about Hongchen refining his heart, and he goes to visit the Spring Rain Pavilion every day, but now it seems that it is possible that Wuhua has something to do with this Ye family?

"Yes." The head of the Ye family said: "Lord Wuhua came to the Ye family and wanted to refine his heart in Hongchen, so I found more than a dozen members and prepared to give him one, but I didn't expect it to ......."

Speaking of this, the head of the Ye family paused slightly, with a helpless expression: "He talked about Buddhism with these girls all night, and after leaving, he went straight to the realm of the four products, and he is indeed a genius of King Kong Temple, I can't do it." ”

When Xu Bai heard this, he almost didn't squirt out a sip of tea.

It turns out that this is the red dust refining the heart? After talking to a bunch of girls all night, only Wuhua can make it.

Isn't this the same as opening an e-sports room to play games and throwing the girl aside?

But this guy has already entered the fourth grade, and he is also walking quite fast.

When Xu Bai thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh a little.

I have only reached the third grade now, and the improvement is still too slow.

If this idea of his is known to others, others will be so depressed that they vomit blood.

What does it mean to be progressing too slowly?

How long have you been in this circle?

And you look like a third-grade now, but you can even touch the first product, and you have to walk around when the second-grade meets you.

Not to mention the three or four products, how many fights are made.

Is this called slow progress?

Of course, Xu Bai also thought about it in his heart, if he really said it, it was estimated that a bunch of people would poke him in the back.

Poke that hard.

"Lord Xu, what are you thinking about?" The Ye family has already talked about this, and it is time to give an answer.

She has said everything she should have said, and she is willing to hand over her exercises.

Xu Bai touched his chin and said, "I agreed to this matter." ”

Fusion?

Mere trifle.

The point is that he has to find a root first.

At present, the most important thing now is to make up for your shortcomings first.

Four products are four products.

Xu Bai felt that his vision was getting higher and higher, and the fourth product could still have the word "bar".

"On behalf of the entire Ye family, I would like to thank Lord Xu." The head of the Ye family bowed slightly, showing respect.

Xu Bai handed the book in his hand to Ye Zi, and after Ye Zi kept it carefully, he changed the topic: "Recently, I heard that there have been several fatalities in the Wind Chime Mansion, I don't know what the Ye family master thinks?" ”

This matter has always been in his mind, although Ye Zi knows a lot and explains it to him, but he still wants to ask more.

"Fate?" The head of the Ye family was slightly stunned, and then understood what he was talking about, and said, "It is estimated that it is a demon master, in a few days, the Heavenly Supervisor will definitely come to this matter." ”

What she said was exactly the same as what Ye Zi said, there was no difference.

Xu Bai drank the remaining hot tea, then stood up and said, "In this case, I will leave first." ”

He didn't ask what he wanted, and he didn't stay long, he really wanted to go back now and finish this book with a twisted liver.

After all, it was a divine soul exercise, and he had to hurry up and make up for this shortcoming.

"Then I won't send Master Xu." The Ye family said.

Xu Bai nodded and left with Ye Zi.

After leaving, he went back to his room and continued the book in his hand, thinking of the fate from time to time.

The Nameless Knife Sutra was replaced with a pubic filicillary warp, and he was slowly catching up with the progress.

This time, the Wind Chimes Mansion and his party were like mud cows entering the sea, without any wind and waves, and those who wanted to assassinate him did not have any abnormality, not even a little wind.

But in fact, Xu Bai knew in his heart that the other party was also slowly accumulating strength, and once it broke out completely, it would be stronger than before, which was like a wave, wave after wave.

"Take your time, the later you come, the more stable I am." Xu Bai thought and continued the book in his hand.

Ye Zi didn't know where to find some fruits, and after peeling them, he fed them in Xu Bai's mouth from time to time.

The comfortable days are slowly passing.

On the other side, in a luxurious room, Ye Yu was looking at the oil lamp in front of him, with a distracted expression.

"I was preempted by her." Ye Yu muttered to himself in a low voice, with his dull eyes, he looked a little depressed.

She was not convinced.

What she was not satisfied with was Ye Zi who grabbed her first.

She knows very well in her heart that this is because she took the initiative to give up, but sometimes, when a person feels that she is always right, she will think that the other person is always wrong.

This is the case with Ye Yu at this moment.

The words she said when she ran to the Ye family master before were also to prevent Ye Zi from having a better time, after all, this way of setting a precedent was really outrageous, and even she had never enjoyed this right.

She doesn't have it, how can she let Ye Zi have it?

What I didn't expect was that the head of the Ye family didn't bird her at all.

The more this happened, the more she felt aggrieved.

"Why, how dare she?"

"Xu Bai should have been mine, why did you snatch it for me?"

"Mean woman! Mean woman! ”

Ye Yu cursed in a low voice over and over again, and the more she scolded, the colder her eyes became.

But she also knew very well in her heart that she only dared to scold when there was no one around, if she stood in front of Ye Zi, she wouldn't even dare to say anything, or even dare to express her dissatisfaction.

That's the gap.

Ye Zi followed Xu Bai, so he was not the same identity as her.

"All damn it, I curse you, you can't go to Beijing alive along the way!" Ye Yu cursed again.

But the more this happened, the more she felt aggrieved.

Especially when she thought that today, several family members looked at her with that kind of idiot look, although it was not obvious, but she could feel it, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.

The fire in my heart is burning, and it is getting stronger and stronger, but I can't vent it.

At this moment, in the corner where no one noticed, there was a trace of black gas circling.

The black qi gradually turned into a figure in the lake, and in the blink of an eye, the figure became clear, it was an ordinary man dressed in black.

The man looks ordinary, and the most obvious thing is that the face is very square.

Originally, the square face would look more upright, but this square face showed a hint of evil on the man's face.

In addition to this feature, the man has a black and white snake wrapped around his waist.

When the man in black appeared, Ye Yu had already reacted.

"Who!" Ye Yu turned his head, and when he saw the man in black, he subconsciously stretched out his hands, wanting to use the Ye family's unique mastery.

But before he could do it, he heard the man in black speak.

"Want to make your dreams come true?"

It was just such a sentence that made Ye Yu stop moving.

"What do you mean?" Ye Yu was slightly stunned.

"What do you think I mean? I mean, do you want to take Ye Zi's place? The man in black spoke very slowly, but when he heard it in Ye Yu's ears, it was deafening.

Ye Yu looked at the waist of the man in black, and when he saw the black and white snake, he said, "You are a demon master, and you did the life in the city recently?" ”

"That's right, I can't help it, my baby wants to eat, if you don't give it food, I'll die." The man in black shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "Don't talk to me about this, let's talk about some business, how about it?" ”

"Can you help me?"

I don't know why, Ye Yu's head suddenly became cloudy, and then, subconsciously asked this sentence.

"As long as you want, isn't that fine?" The man in black laughed.

Ye Yu continued to ask, "How can you help me?" ”

The man in black shook his head: "It will take a while for the specifics, now I just see if you are willing, since you are willing, then I will leave." ”

After saying this, the man in black turned into smoke and disappeared into the room.

Come and go quickly, the whole process happened very quickly, as if this man in black was just coming over to see Ye Yu's attitude.

Ye Yu looked at the position where the man in black disappeared, and was stunned.

After holding such a position for a long time, I don't know what she was thinking.

……

Following.

Xu Bai got up from the quilt as usual, and after enjoying Ye Zi's dressing treatment, he was played by Ye Zi again, and after eating some breakfast, he was ready to continue the liver and yin fiber curvature.

The exercise of yin fiber curvature, how to say it, is also the progress bar of the four-grade exercise, although it is not particularly slow, but it is not particularly fast.

But now there is nothing to do, so Xu Bai has time to spare.

The progress bar kept walking, and until noon, Xu Bai stood up and moved his body.

Outside the door, the maid walked in as usual, delivered lunch, and left in a hurry.

Under Ye Zi's service, Xu Bai ate lunch and prepared to continue the progress bar in his hand.

Ye Zi also sat next to him honestly.

Every time Xu Bai's liver progress bar, she just supported her white chin with her hands, tilted her little head, and looked at Xu Bai with an extremely fascinated look, as if she didn't get tired of looking at it all the time.

How long Xu Bai's liver is, Ye Zi will watch it for as long as he wants.

If Xu Bai moved his shoulders slightly, Ye Zi would stand up and rub Xu Bai's shoulders.

In this regard, Xu Bai said that although it is particularly corrupt, it is really cool.

Just kept this rhythm until the afternoon, when Xu Bai suddenly put down the book in his hand.

For he heard very loud footsteps in the courtyard, as if someone had come in.

The footsteps kept going outside, apparently to greet them.

"Check it out." Xu Bai moved his neck and raised his feet to walk outside.
