Shen Yuange, who had been standing beside the carriage and watching the others, stepped forward and said, "Caizhu, Luo'er, this is not the place to talk. Let's go home first."
"Uncle Shen, I'm sorry to have worried you. We..." Nie Caizhu was halfway through her words when she suddenly realized something was wrong. She stopped talking and froze in place.
She glanced back and forth between Shen Luo and Shen Yuange a few times, and suddenly realized that the two people's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar. For a moment, her expression became more and more strange.
"What's wrong? Caizhu, is there something wrong?" Shen Yuange asked puzzledly when he saw this.
"Ms. Nie, I didn't have the chance to tell you my name before. My name is Shen Luo, and I'm your fiancé." Without waiting for Nie Caizhu to answer, Shen Luo looked at her and spoke with a gentle smile.
"You are... Shen Luo?" Upon hearing this, Nie Caizhu immediately remembered what she had said on the way back. She was suddenly embarrassed, and two blushes quickly rose on both cheeks and spread rapidly, dyeing the back of her ears red.
"Wow, so you are the son-in-law?" Xiaochun didn't understand what was going on and added fuel to the fire.
Nie Caizhu clutched her sleeves tightly, hesitated for a moment in panic, and immediately ran into the carriage without looking back.
"Hey, Miss..." Xiaochun called out hurriedly and chased after her.
"What's going on?" Shen Yuange frowned, looked at Shen Luo and asked.
"I don't know either." Shen Luo pretended to be ignorant.
Shen Yuange shook his head and chuckled, then led everyone back to the Shen family.
In the next few days, Nie Caizhu stayed in the house almost the whole day except for eating, as if she was deliberately avoiding Shen Luo. She almost never looked at him even at the dinner table.
However, her personal maid Xiaochun would stare at Shen Luo every time she met him, with her eyes full of anger, which made Shen Luo feel a little embarrassed.
After a few days of leisure at home, Shen Luo resumed his practice, practicing the nameless heavenly book while continuing to learn how to make talismans.
Before returning from Jianye, he also went to Lubaotang to buy spiritual materials and talisman paper.
However, in order to practice in seclusion, he had already spent most of his savings on the Sanyuan Zhenshui and Diyin Dan. In the end, he only bought a small amount of Qingshuang talisman paper and a lot of yellow talisman paper.
After completing his training for the day, Shen Luo took out a thin thread-bound book from the stone box and began to read it carefully.
This book was none other than the ancient book of talismans handed down from his ancestors that was given to him by Shopkeeper Hou when he passed by Shenxianju before.
He had only glanced through it before and had not looked at the contents in detail. When he opened it today, he discovered that at the very front of the page there was a brief introduction similar to a biography of the character.
Completely different from the cursive handwriting of the talisman content that follows, this biography is written in running script, and it is obvious that it was not written by the same person.
After reading it, Shen Luo realized that this content was added by the Hou family's later generations, and it was about the life story of the Hou family's ancestor.
It turns out that the ancestor of the Hou family was a wandering Taoist priest. His specific master's inheritance is no longer traceable, and there is not much description of the Taoism he practiced. It seems that he mainly practiced talismans, and it seems that he does not belong to the Xiaomaoshan school.
