"Miss Tang, Master invites you to the study." While Bai Tang was doing her homework, Cheng Bo knocked on her door. She responded, tidied up a little, closed the door and went to the old man's study.
This is the second time Baitang has entered Old Master Bai's study room. When she entered, the old man was still playing chess with her like last time, but there was an extra cup of tea in his hand that smelled calming. Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, Heizi turned his face sideways, his eyes seemed to be on Baitang's body or just lightly glanced at her face. "Do you know why grandpa called you here?"
Baitang shook his head, although he knew that this conversation must have something to do with Yang Jincheng.
The old man Bai lowered his head and blew a sip of the floating leaves in the cup, "You and Xiao Nan have been in the Bai family for two months, and grandpa has been watching you two during this time." The old man didn't have to say these words to a junior, But in a family like theirs, the older generation in power would not have some secret observation and consideration of their children.
Baitang listened silently, she was naturally aware of the old man's behavior style, but she didn't have this kind of treatment like a heart-to-heart before. What's more, she was still in the hospital for a month, and she and the old man basically didn't have any extra time to spend together except for dinner, let alone what the grandfather and grandson said.
During the few seconds that old man Bai paused, he was also observing Baitang's reaction after hearing it. Baitang's calmness was within his expectation. He took a sip of tea and continued, "Xiao Nan is a simple-minded kid who is easy to communicate with others. But you, grandpa can only say that you are very surprised."
For Baitang, the granddaughter, Mr. Bai actually didn't know how to describe her. The calligraphy at the beginning seemed to be a child who was a bit arrogant and sharp-edged, and refused to be controlled by others, but in fact, this was a child who was unchanging in every situation, with a calm personality that many adults could not match, and seemed a bit monstrous. child.
With such a temperament, it is hard to believe that he is a teenager from the countryside. Although Mr. Bai allowed his second son to live in the countryside for a long time, he has not really ignored him for more than ten years. He still knows some necessary information. Therefore, he knows that his second son has not taught his two children anything special. Since childhood, they have always let their siblings go.
Perhaps, this can also be regarded as a kind of compensation for Jing Yu's child.
Old Master Bai let go of the thoughts in his heart, looked at Baitang and continued the conversation: "Two days ago, the boy from the Yang family chased after you every day, and there has been no movement these two days. You can tell Grandpa that he is here What are you doing?"
If the kid from the Yang family really wants to pursue Baitang, Mr. Bai is happy to see it succeed, but if the purpose is not for this, he needs to know whether it is Yang Jincheng himself or the Yang family behind him.
"He followed his granddaughter for two days, and he didn't talk to his granddaughter from the beginning to the end. I felt a little annoyed by him and told him not to follow, and then he really didn't follow. So, grandpa. I don't know him What do you want to do." All that Baitang said can be found by Mr. Bai.
Old Man Bai frowned unobtrusively, because Bai Tang was lying. "Can you play chess?"
Baitang shook his head, not at all surprised that the old man changed the subject without any warning.
"Come on, grandpa will teach you." As he said, one hand had already put the black and white pieces on the chessboard back into place. "Your father's chess was also taught by grandpa. Unfortunately, after more than ten years, your father will no longer know how to play."
Baitang didn't expect to learn go with the old man in the end, so he had to pretend to be a beginner and learn go with the old man. After studying for nearly an hour, the old man let go.
"Let's learn this today, and tomorrow night, you can come over and play a game with grandpa." Afterwards, old man Bai gave another Go book to Baitang. "The mid-term test is coming soon, is there any reward you want?"
"My grades are not very good, Grandpa."
Old Man Bai laughed, "That's okay, as long as you make progress, go back."
Bai Tang said goodnight to the old man, and left the study. Back in the room, I received a long-distance call from Han Shaozhe.
"Senior, the Zhao family found out about you, and I'm afraid someone will come to S city to investigate in a few days." Han Shaozhe came back with his innate realm cultivation, and everyone in the Han family was shocked by his breakthrough. They all know that Han Shaozhe has great talent and is the most promising person in this generation to break through to the innate realm, but no one thought that he would break through at such a young age. Although it is said that Han Shaozhe stepped into the Xiantian realm with half a foot, there are not many such people in the martial arts world. Similarly, how many people are stuck in this half-step distance and still cannot cross it.
And how long has Han Shaozhe been away, and he has quietly reached the Xiantian realm.
There must be a secret in it, but Han Shaozhe's current cultivation level is no longer something they can easily control, so no one dares to call his secret attention, at least not yet.
Because of his improved cultivation, Han Shaozhe's power in the Han family has increased a lot. And the first thing he did was to find someone to keep an eye on the Zhao family's movements.
In the Zhao family, Baitang silently repeated that Zhao Zhen only told her to leave in the evening, and City B already knew of her existence. I'm afraid that I found out about her a few days ago. Sure enough, a person like Zhao Zhen is not a suitable partner for cooperation. He will not choose to protect her existence as a priority like Han Shaozhe, let alone take the initiative to hide her affairs. .
"The Zhao family probably has nothing to do and it's too busy." The final exam is coming soon, and she doesn't have extra energy to deal with a few young warriors.
"Senior, don't worry, they will have something to do soon." Han Shaozhe comprehended, and he wished for a few more things that would allow him to show his face in front of his senior. "In the next few days, I will arrange for someone to send you another jade."
"I have a heart."
"It's too late for me to be able to share the worries of my seniors." With Baitang's reference, Han Shaozhe has long lost his longing for the innate realm. Now he is more eager to be favored by Baitang, so as to learn her cultivation Gongfa. Flying with the sword, no one can refuse such a temptation.
After Baitang hung up the phone, he walked to the desk and continued the interrupted homework.
At the weekend, Baitang received the jade sent by Han Shaozhe. The delivery man was a 17- or 18-year-old athletic boy with a peaked cap on his head, his eyes were squinted, and he looked energetic.
"Miss, Young Master Han has ordered. If you need anything here in the future, just ask me to do it." The young man is also surnamed Han, and he is named Xiu, "Don't look at me as young, but I can do things to your satisfaction. If you If there is any dissatisfaction, you can ask Han Shao for a replacement at any time."
"How long have you been with Han Shaozhe?"
Han Xiu grinned, "I've been with Young Master Han since I was a child."
Bai Tang nodded, "I see, I will come to you if I have something to do." Compared with Zhao Zhen who has not called to remind him, Bai Tang couldn't be more satisfied with Han Shaozhe's ability to handle affairs.
Han Xiu responded with a grin, and walked out of the villa.
Baitang took a bag of jade in her hand and went to the quiet room last time, she needed to change the cultivation method back to Qing Yunzong's mental method.
It took another day for Baitang to change the exercises.
In exchange for the mental method that he had been familiar with for more than a hundred years, Baitang felt his body became more relaxed, so he planned to take the opportunity to break through to the next level.
In the courtyard of the villa, what Bai Nan practiced was no longer sword swinging movements, but a complete set of sword skills. After practicing for an hour, Bai Nan planned to take a rest to recover his physical strength, when suddenly a strange figure "floated" in from outside the villa. "Who?"
"Are you Baitang's younger brother? I'm looking for Baitang, where is she?" Heavy, immediately alerted.
"My sister is not here."
Zhao Hong laughed strangely a few times, "Really? But someone told me that they saw you two enter this villa together. Little brother, lying is not something a good boy should do. But it doesn't matter if you don't tell uncle, uncle can go in and look for it himself."
Bai Nan had already received Baitang's instructions, knowing that she was going upstairs for a very important retreat, how could it be possible for Zhao Hong to go up and disturb her retreat. In particular, this person did not conceal the malice of "the visitor is not kind" at all, and immediately swung the martial arts sword in his hand without hesitation.
"Do you want to fight the enemy with a martial arts sword?" Zhao Hong is a master of the Great Perfection of the Acquired Heaven Realm. Bai Nan, a third-level martial artist, is not in his eyes at all, but the swordsmanship that Bai Nan uses makes his eyes shine, and he can't help but Withdrawing some strength, Bai Nan had enough energy to perform this set of swordsmanship again.
This is Bai Nan's first real confrontation with the enemy, and he has basically zero actual combat experience, so he can't see Zhao Hong's calculations at all, thinking that he can fight the enemy, he is so excited in his heart, his whole body is in a state of confusion. In a state of enthusiasm, he has used two or three points of the original one or two points of proficient swordsmanship.
The most common swordsmanship in the realm of comprehension is not something that Zhao Hong, an acquired martial artist who has not stepped into the innate realm, can comprehend. Besides, Bai Nan himself has not comprehended much, but is just swaying the sword like a gourd. Therefore, Zhao Hong could only remember some vague sword moves after reading it all over again, but he couldn't do anything if he wanted to forcefully memorize it.
However, Zhao Hong was not only not dissatisfied with the result, but rather happy. His sword skills, which even a Dzogchen acquired master can't remember, must be extraordinary, and it would be a waste to fall into the hands of a small third-level warrior. "Boy, hand over your sword skills, otherwise, uncle won't be as polite as he is now."
Bai Nan snorted coldly, and said sarcastically: "It's fine to use the strong to bully the weak, it's better to grab other people's swordsmanship by force, uncle, there must be a limit to being shameless."
"You want to piss me off? Kid, you're still a little tender." Although Zhao Hong wouldn't be irritated, Bai Nan's words really made him hear harshly, and he unconsciously used up ten layers of palm strength.
Bai Nan felt a strong sense of crisis from this palm, and hastily tried to escape the space locked by the palm. But no matter how fast his footwork was, his cultivation base was only level three after all. Zhao Hong easily caught up with him, and then slapped his chest with the force of his palm. The next moment, Bai Nan flew upside down to a distant tree like a kite that had lost its string, and slid against the tree to the ground. The tree he hit was also a little crumbling under the impact, which shows the power of this chapter .
"Cough cough!" Bai Nan felt that her internal organs were exploding, and her whole body ached with a cough.
The sound of "Tat T T T T T" footsteps sounded from far to near, Bai Nan supported the ground and wanted to stand up, but bent down again with her straight waist, and coughed up blood from her mouth. He raised his head, and Zhao Hong walked over step by step with a playful smile, "Do you know the gap? It's still too late to tell Uncle, if you continue to be stubborn with Uncle, your hard-earned cultivation will be ruined. "
Bai Nan gritted her teeth and didn't say a word, while tightly holding the fallen martial arts sword with her other hand.
Zhao Hong turned a blind eye to his small movements, walked forward with a smile and bent down, but was stabbed in the shoulder by Bai Nan in an instant with a strange movement. If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, the blow just now would have stabbed him in the chest. At his level, he shouldn't have been careless like this. As a result, a little warrior who was not regarded by him as different from an ant was injured.
Zhao Hong got angry, and stretched out his hand to destroy Bai Nan's internal organs, but he couldn't move any closer when he touched Bai Nan's clothes. Surprised, "Who is it? Come out!"
No one responded to Zhao Hong's words, so Zhao Hong increased his strength by 10%, but still couldn't get close, he couldn't help being shocked. Subconsciously looking at Bai Nan, a relieved expression appeared on that face, he thought of the target person who came to this villa to find - Bai Tang.
A few days ago, their Zhao family received the news that Zhao Zhen was going back to his family. After investigation, the internal injuries that had dragged Zhao Zhen down for several years were all healed. Not only that, but Zhao Zhen's cultivation had also advanced to a level, from the early stage of Acquired Heaven to a mid-stage martial artist, which surprised many people. Since Zhao Zhen suffered internal injuries, several elders who had high hopes for him have changed their positions. Except for the various support in the first year, he will be left to fend for himself. Who would have expected that everything would change just by going to S City.
Naturally, the Zhao family sent someone to investigate the cause and effect of this. Thus, knowing the existence of Bai Tang, a doctor, a group of people who hadn't broken through for a long time were moved, and Zhao Hong was one of them.
Zhao Hong is a descendant in the direct line of the first elder of the Zhao family. After learning about Baitang from the first elder, he decided to hijack him as his exclusive doctor. It happened that there was a change in the family, so I decided to seize the opportunity and rob people before the family sent out.
He has been trapped in the Houtian realm for seven or eight years, and he was also known as a genius with outstanding talent back then. However, the hurdle of the Xiantian realm is like a moat, no matter how hard he tries, he can't shake the bottleneck of the realm. Therefore, as long as there is a one percent possibility, he will not let it go.
"Is it Doctor Baitang? Please don't get me wrong, I'm just here to invite you as a guest." Zhao Hong doesn't take it to heart even if the current situation is a bit weird.
"Then the way your Zhao family invites people to be guests is really special." After the words fell, Baitang's chuckle seemed to ring in Zhao Hong's ears, which shocked Zhao Hong, and he followed the sound to find him. If he couldn't find it, his internal organs first complained to himself. This time, Zhao Hong was finally shocked.
"Bai, doctor—" A doctor, is it possible
Baitang finally walked into his field of vision, his right hand was stretched out in mid-air as if he was kneading a ball of water vapor. As her movements changed, Zhao Hong felt that his internal organs were also churning, and after a while, he fell to his knees and broke out in cold sweat.
"Senior, Zhao Hong was wrong!" Now, how could Zhao Hong still not know that he had kicked the iron plate. I hate that kid Zhao Zhen for concealing such important information. With such a method, where is an ordinary little doctor, he is clearly a peerless master whose cultivation level is not half a point worse than that of the elders of the clan.
Bai Tang looked at him coldly, his hands slowly retracted, Zhao Hong couldn't even kneel down, and his whole body rolled to the ground convulsively. In this moment of embarrassment, there is no such thing as the master demeanor before.
Bai Tang didn't pay more attention to his embarrassment, walked up to Bai Nan and knelt down, and when he reached out his hand, his face became more gloomy.
Bai Nan had never seen her like this before, and was too shocked by her aura to say a word.
"Forget what I said? If he wants to come up, let him come up. Don't tell me I'm not prepared for the retreat?" Bai Nan's internal injury was too serious, and Bai Tang directly poured his spiritual energy over to repair him. "Even if you don't have a backup, it's just a one-time retreat, and if you break it, it will be broken. How can you be so brave as a small warrior? You have read too many novels, and you think that sacrificing yourself makes me great, right?"
Bai Nan lowered her head and didn't dare to raise her eyes to look at the current Baitang.
"Go upstairs and reflect."
"Yes-"
Holding Baitang's hand, Bai Nan stood up, and was surprised to find that the injuries on her body healed in the blink of an eye! He raised his head, facing Baitang's sternness, he wisely closed his mouth and walked upstairs. Passing by the place where Zhao Hong was rolling, he kicked a few times angrily before leaving.
After he left, Baitang walked up to Zhao Hong with a blank expression.
When Zhao Hong saw her, he said "Ah" a few times, but couldn't utter a single word. He looked at her with regret and fear.
"I think people who have reached your level of cultivation should be very smart, and they shouldn't be as stupid as you at the worst." Said, Baitang raised his hand, and a stick was thrown on the ground at some point. The branch flew into her hand. After that, she divided the branch into pieces the size of silver needles. "Now, let me give you a chance to tell me what your purpose is?"
"Catch you back to be my exclusive doctor, and use your medicinal bath to help me break through to the innate realm." Zhao Hong thought he was still speechless, but who knew that when he opened his mouth, he said everything.
"I know a lot, but do you know that I used silver needles to help Zhao Zhen break through?" Zhao Hong was delighted and shook his head. Baitang smiled softly, "I don't know, then you will know if you try."
Zhao Hong didn't know why, so he saw Baitang stabbing a broken branch into his body. After stabbing one, he stabbed the second one until all the branches were inserted into his body. However, Zhao Hong didn't feel any abnormality in his body. As soon as he had this thought, a piercing pain came out of his body.
He moved his hand, but he couldn't move his ten fingers. Baitang's voice sounded next to his ears again: "Guess, if the cultivation route in your body runs in reverse, will you break through to the Xiantian realm?"
Zhao Hong originally wanted to laugh at Baitang's nonsense, as long as he didn't reverse the course himself, how could he let the other party see what the result would be after the reversal. Soon, Zhao Hong realized that his thoughts were too naive, and the mentality he had cultivated for decades was really reversed.
"I was wrong, please, senior!" Zhao Hong couldn't bear the destruction of decades of cultivation. It was also at this moment that he finally realized how inscrutable this little doctor he looked down upon was far beyond what the elders of the family could compare with. "senior-"
