"Shen Luo, to be honest, the fact that you can be honest and tell me the truth is enough to make me happy, but I can't agree to you." Bai Xiaotian said with a glimmer of relief in his eyes.
"Why is this?" Shen Luo asked with some surprise.
"My ancestor asked for an opportunity for me to join Huasheng Temple. I received a reply the day before yesterday. I will leave Jianye in a few days." Bai Xiaotian looked out the window and said slowly.
"Huasheng Temple?"
When Shen Luo heard the name, he felt it seemed familiar. After thinking about it for a while, he remembered it.
He had seen a record about Huasheng Temple in the library in Fangcun Mountain, and there were words of recognition and praise in the record.
"Have you heard of this place too?" Bai Xiaotian asked.
"I've heard a little about it. It's a major sect of immortal cultivation in our Tang Dynasty. With your aptitude for cultivation, if you can enter this sect, you will definitely achieve great things in the future." Shen Luo said sincerely happily.
“Once you join Shenghua Temple, you can no longer be considered a descendant of Xiaomaoshan. Therefore, I cannot agree to inherit the Chunyang Treasure Book and rebuild Chunqiu Temple.” Bai Xiaotian retracted his gaze, looked at Shen Luo, and said in a deep voice.
"Since you can enter this mountain sect, you will be able to practice more advanced skills. Missing out on a Pure Yang Book is not a big deal. This is good. You and I can still be together for a few more days. When you leave Jianye City, I will return to Chunhua County with you." Shen Luo nodded to himself when he heard this.
"In my opinion, it may not be a good thing for you to return to Chunhua County right now." Bai Xiaotian said after hesitating for a moment.
"Why do you say that?" Shen Luo was stunned.
"Not to mention that the people my family sent failed to find any trace of the evil spirits, it does not necessarily mean that the evil spirits have completely retreated. Even if they have really retreated, who can guarantee that they will not come back?" Bai Xiaotian asked back.
"Are you saying that if I rashly return to Chunhua County, it might attract the evil spirits to come back?" Shen Luo frowned.
"As survivors of Chunqiu Temple, you and I have to think more. With our Bai family in charge of Jianye City, they may not dare to take the risk to attack, but in Chunhua County, they have no scruples." Bai Xiaotian said solemnly.
When Shen Luo heard this, he knew that Bai Xiaotian was telling the truth, and his brows furrowed even more.
"To be honest, it's not just Jianye City that's unstable right now, many places in the Tang Dynasty are uneasy. The legend of the demonic calamity is getting more and more intense, and signs of a chaotic world have already begun to emerge. The reason why my family is eager for me to learn advanced Taoism and grow up may be that they have prepared for this. Shen Luo, the most important thing for you right now is not to return home, but to practice hard. Only when you truly have the power to protect yourself, you won't be afraid of attacks from demons no matter where you are." Bai Xiaotian stretched out his hand and slapped Shen Luo's arrow, and continued.
"You're right. But you've already left Jianye, and I can't stay in your house forever, right?" Shen Luo sighed. He knew better than anyone what the world would be like after the demonic catastrophe.
"You don't have to worry about this. Before you leave home, I will persuade my father to let you temporarily serve as a guest official in the clan. Then, not only can you continue to practice in the Bai Mansion, you should also be able to get the fairy jade rewards according to the rules." Bai Xiaotian waved his hand and said.
