"Crack."

A drop of water falls.

It hit the woman in the face.

The woman closed the book in her hand, slowly raised her head, and looked at the ginkgo trees in the courtyard. The annual ancestor worship day was coming soon. There were more people coming and going in the ancestral hall, and the sounds became noisier.

One year.

For most people, a year is 365 days.

But for Bai Lu, this year is just one year.

She only did one thing, and that was to read the ancient books collected in the ancestral hall, word for word.

After closing the page, Bai Lu could hear the voices of those people in the distance in the ancestral hall...those people were talking about herself.

Many people find it incredible.

The most noisy woman in the Bai family suddenly changed her personality. For a whole year, she just stayed in the clan hall and never went anywhere.

I don’t know where these people heard about it.

Some people say that the divination inheritor from Qingzhong gave her a prediction that bad luck will come soon, and it is best not to leave the ancestral hall, so she stayed under the ginkgo tree every day to read and drink tea, keeping her pure mind.

want.

In fact, it is to avoid disaster.

Some people also say that Bai Lu has reached "age" and can no longer continue to be crazy, which will disgrace the image of the Bai family, so the head of the family ordered him to practice self-cultivation and spend this year with peace of mind to cultivate his moral character.

All these discussions were heard by Bai Lu.

She shook her head.

After reading for a year, she could always hear these voices.

I thought it would only be like this in the beginning.

But later I realized... people in this world are always so boring.

Why did Bai Lu stay at home and read for a whole year? How could there be so many complicated reasons?

Just like the troubles she caused in the Snow Forbidden City before.

She wants to do it.

So she did it.

Of course, no matter how unreasonable things are in this world, there is always some path to follow.

If you really want to go back to the roots.

The reason why Bai Lu went into seclusion for a year is also very simple... because Xiaoxiu also spent this year in seclusion in the Snow Forbidden City.

She closed the page, took a final sip of tea, and left the clan hall.

There are many alleys and alleys in the Snow Forbidden City, and it is easy to get lost.

But Bai Lu is very familiar with this road.

She came to the place where Xiaoxiu was, which was the cleanest courtyard that the Bai clan had deliberately chosen for him.

No one will bother you.

Bai Lu stood at the entrance of the alley. She didn't even dare to get close to the courtyard. She just looked at it from a distance across the alley.

"Little Sleeves have been in seclusion for a year."

A deep voice sounded beside her.

Bai Lu was startled for a moment, then turned around and saw a familiar and kind face.

"Second Elder."

Bai Lu quickly saluted, but was stopped by the latter.

"Xiaolu..."

Bai Zesheng smiled and said, "You are serious."

He knows.

During this year, of course, Bai Lu didn't stay under the ginkgo tree in the ancestral hall every day. She would walk around the Snow Forbidden City every day...and every time, she would come to this alley by accident, stop from a distance, and look at the small alley.

The yard where the sleeves are.

one year ago.

Xiaoxiu completely locked himself in the courtyard.

The news Bai received was.

He is hitting the fourth stage... Once successful, it is almost certain that Baixiu will become the youngest "banned" in Dongzhou, because he is only twenty years old so far.

According to the big data analysis of the Five Continents Council.

Being able to become a fourth-stage transcendent before the age of thirty is already a rare talent. After all, this is a realm that is "out of reach" for most transcendent beings.

The fourth stage means the maturity and condensation of the field. Such extraordinary people can be regarded as drawing a clear boundary between themselves and the "ordinary people", resulting in a real qualitative change.

They can control their abilities at will and even develop advanced powers.

They are the "high-end combat power" and the "mainstay" in the extraordinary world!

The Five Continents Council will maintain a respectful attitude towards such extraordinary people, and their opinions will be considered. Such figures, no matter where they are placed, are "big figures" that attract much attention, even in Nagano or Dadu.

They are all top-notch combat power reserves.

The three schools and five major schools in Dongzhou have established such a complete combat power cultivation system over the years.

In fact, their purpose has never been to cultivate "banned people" who can reach the end of the route, but to cultivate enough controllable "fourth-stage extraordinary beings".

…

…

"Many people are very concerned about Xiaoxiu's practice, but there should be only one person in the entire Bai family who cares as much as you do."

Bai Zesheng reached out and patted the junior on the shoulder and spoke gently.

"Xiaoxiu and I grew up together..."

Bai Lu's expression was a little complicated, "It can be seen that the assassination in the tundra had a great impact on him."

In fact, every time she came to the alley, she was not concerned about Bai Xiu's practice.

What kind of person is Baixiu?

One person overpowers the monster in Nagano!

With his amazing talent and brilliance, he has swept away all enemies. He has never failed in his cultivation path! Such a genius is destined to become a titled figure!

Why would she worry that Baixiu would encounter difficulties when breaking through the fourth stage?

What she was worried about... was the "evil thoughts" that Baixiu had in her heart because of the Tundra assassination.

A year ago, on the day when the streets were empty to welcome Xiaoxiu's return, Baixiu came to the ancestral hall silently.

Everyone left.

But Bai Lu was the only one who was reading in the yard, so he bumped into Little Sleeve, who was covered in blood.

See you again after parting.

It shouldn't be like this.

In the days that followed, Bai Lu would always think of the scene where the sleeves of her white clothes were stained with blood that day, and the words he asked herself.

Bai wanted him to practice Buddhism.

Hope he breaks through.

Finally, he fulfilled Bai's wish, lived in this courtyard, and began a long period of spiritual practice.

No one is allowed to enter or exit this courtyard. The Bai family got the "seclusion break" they wanted, while Bai Xiu got the "peace" he wanted.

But, is it really so?

Bai Lu tried to check the "Tundra Assassination" case file this year. She always felt that things were not that simple... but the results of the case file came to light. Everything was exposed in the light, the evidence, the execution, everything was clear and clear.

.

The second elder, Bai Zesheng, also suffered heavy losses due to Yinta's hunting activities.

It’s just breaking a realm.

Baixiu has been in seclusion for a whole year. Has he really not made a breakthrough? Or... is he just avoiding the Bai family?

"I want to go in and take a look at the little sleeves..."

Bai Lu spoke in a very soft voice.

"It's better not to disturb me."
