"Forget it, I'm just a small Soul-Enlightening Realm person. Don't cause any trouble and drag you down. That would be bad." Bai Gu gave a very forced smile.
Wang Xizhou smiled and said: "Xizhou and several others are all in the spirit-swallowing realm. It is more than enough for one person to take care of you."
Bai Gu chuckled, "That woman's shadow is not weak, so it's better not to be distracted."
Wang Xizhou did not respond to Bai Gu's words. He just turned his head and looked out the window, "They are coming."
Just when Bai Gu was confused, Wang Xizhou flicked his finger out the window, and a small stream of white spiritual power shot out, piercing into the wind and snow like an arrow.
"Haha, Lao Wang, I'm coming!"
The spiritual arrow suddenly scattered into a firework in mid-air and was annihilated, but it also completed its mission.
Let the people who should see it see it.
Then a burst of hearty laughter came from downstairs. When the words fell, a thin man had climbed to the wooden window, jumped and came into the room.
Bai Gu looked the thin man up and down.
He is also thin, but Bai Gu is caused by malnutrition, so he looks a little sluggish.
But the person in front of me...has a sinister look no matter how he looks at it. If Wang Xizhou hadn't said before that it was the landscape men he had found who came, Bai Gu's candle would have been unsheathed by now.
As soon as the thin man landed, he walked towards Wang Xizhou with a smile and put his arm around his shoulders, "Old Wang, we haven't seen you for a few days. Do you miss me?"
"Xiao Xie, at least there is a child here, don't always be so dishonest." Wang Xizhou smiled, but did not break away from the skinny man's embrace, letting him make trouble on his shoulder, and turned to Bai Bai Gu introduced: "This is Hua Xie, a Shanshui Lang from the Guimian City branch of Shanshui Fang. He specializes in escaping body techniques and is extremely fast. There are few people in the same field who can match him."
"Hey, there's no such exaggeration! I just run faster." Hua Xie waved his hand, then rested his head on Wang Xizhou's shoulder, looking at Bai Gu with curiosity on his face, "You are the Bai Gu that Lao Wang said, right? ? It doesn’t look any different, Old Wang, what you said is a bit mysterious!”
Bai Gu stood up and poured a glass of water for Hua Xie, then smiled and said, "Brother Hua, just call me Xiao Bai."
Hua Xie took the cup with a smile and took a sip of water, "You're a good boy, you know how to get things done."
Wang Xizhou reminded: "Xiao Xie, don't be too presumptuous. Xiao Bai is a master swordsman, so be careful what you say."
Hua Xie curled his lips and muttered something that only he knew.
Bai Gu didn't show anything strange on his face, and he didn't mind Hua Xie's words and deeds at all.
In other words, I don’t dare.
After all, Hua Xie is also a spirit-swallowing state who is good at body skills. According to the scripts I usually listen to, people like this are the most suitable for assassination and lurking.
If this accidentally got him thinking about it, he would die without knowing how.
A master swordsman? What is the use of this identity?
The Sword Immortal is powerful, but only in person. Kill a disciple of the Sword Immortal in secret, and be a little more cautious. Even if you are a Sword Immortal who can defeat all kinds of magic with one sword, you still can't find any fault, and you can't get an explanation.
Besides, can a disciple of the Sword Immortal have a higher level of cultivation than the Sword Immortal?
Everyone who has been in the martial arts world knows that it is a crime to have a jade in your hands. It all depends on whether you are brave enough.
The bold ones will be starved to death, and the timid ones will be starved to death.
Bai Gu said: "Brother Wang, the apprentice of the Sword Immortal is also a human being. There is nothing special about him. There is no need to keep thinking about him like this."
Hua Xie said with a smile: "Brother Xiaobai is an honest man and easy to get along with!"
Wang Xizhou glanced at Hua Xie helplessly, then looked at Bai Gu, "Not everyone can be the apprentice of the Sword Immortal."
"There shouldn't be many Sword Immortal disciples as weak as me."
Listening to Bai Gu's self-deprecation, Wang Xizhou didn't take it seriously.
Which of the disciples who can become the Sword Immortal is a simple person? If you say you are no good, just listen to it. It is really your own problem.
Besides, if you don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, you can ignore an ordinary soul-enlightening state, but you can't ignore the face of a swordsman.
To put it bluntly, even if you can't get along with the Sword Immortal, having a disciple of the Sword Immortal as your friend is still very respectable. Moreover, one more enemy is not as good as one more friend. It is still a soul-enlightening realm with the Sword Immortal as a backer. Multiple friends lead to many paths. If you can make good friends with them, the road in the future will be smoother.
There is truth to the old saying of relying on your friends when you are away from home.
Hua Xie didn't have so many twists and turns, and immediately laughed out loud, "Are you just in the soul-enlightening realm? I'm really curious how you got the approval of a sword immortal, or how did that sword immortal I like you."
Hua Xie suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Are you a relative of that sword immortal? Or a descendant of that sword immortal's former benefactor?"
The meaning is obvious, Bai Gu got his current status as a disciple of the Sword Immortal through the back door.
Wang Xizhou picked up the cup and took a sip of water, pretending not to hear.
Bai Gu smiled and said, "That's right. The first time I met Master at that time, it was Mr. Wu who introduced him."
Hua Xie's eyes suddenly lit up, "Is that Mr. Wu from Changzhou Pharmacy in Yunshui City? Do you know him?"
Bai Gu nodded, "We know each other, and we've done business a few times, and we had a good conversation."
As he said that, Bai Gu raised his wrist and said, "My Sumeru Pearl is a departure gift from Mr. Wu."
Hua Xie's face was full of envy and he said: "It's great, I can still get something from that person."
Wang Xizhou nodded in agreement.
It's just that Wang Xizhou looks calm on the surface, but in fact, he has already stirred up a storm in his heart.
Even if you know that person, do you still do business? Have a good chat? When we go to Black Sheep Mountain, who also gave me a leaving gift?
Although it is just a very ordinary Ding-level Sumeru bead, the profound meaning contained in it varies from person to person.
Wang Xizhou took another drink of water to calm down his shock.
Even if he just thought about it in his heart, Wang Xizhou only dared to address that person respectfully, and did not even dare to add the word "Wu Lao".
There are some things in the world that some people cannot easily remember even in their hearts.
Wang Xizhou once heard a saying.
Everyone's thoughts in the world are like threads, and thousands of thoughts accumulated over time will be like a spider web, intertwined in people's hearts and minds. It's just that the weaver is himself, but the thread puller is different.
As for the people watching, it is far more than just myself.
Bai Gu also took a sip of water, glanced at Wang Xizhou's face from the corner of his eye, and quickly looked away.
Related households? In fact, I can be considered one.
But it's not because of Mr. Wu, but the old guy.
But neither of the two people in front of them knew the old guy, so they could only use Mr. Wu to block the wind.
As long as the effect is achieved.
And it looks like the effect is pretty good?
"It's just a Sumeru bead with a map engraved on it. Mr. Wu shouldn't need it anyway, so it's an advantage for me." Bai Gu chuckled, "Besides, Shanshui Fang will also provide maps. Mr. Wu, this Sumeru bead, It doesn’t really mean much.”
Bai Gu's words actually meant that he wanted to draw a clearer line with Mr. Wu, so as to avoid having too many connections with each other in the future and causing unnecessary trouble.
But when it fell into the ears of Wang Xizhou and Hua Xie, things changed.
Aren't you showing off?
Who do you want to envy to death?
Hua Xie was about to say something sour, but Wang Xizhou had already interrupted Hua Xie's words, "Let's stop here for a chat first. We'd better take a trip to Jiaoyue Mountain while it's still early. We should be back when we get back." How do you two feel about being able to make it in time for dinner?"
Hua Xie had always been convinced by Wang Xizhou, so she had no objection to his proposal and just nodded fiercely on Wang Xizhou's shoulder.
Bai Gu hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Bai Xiaoxiao, who was still playing with the monkey puppet, and then looked away, "Brother Wang, I'd better not go. That woman's cultivation in the Shadow Transformation Realm is not a joke." It's just for fun. I won't hold you back, Xiaoxiao still needs me to take care of you."
Hua Xie frowned slightly.
Why is this kid so ignorant? Lao Wang has invited me over and over again with nice words, but he still refuses. Why is his face so big?
Isn't he just a disciple of Sword Immortal, and also knows Mr. Wu? What's so arrogant? Just a scumbag from the Soul-Enlightening Realm!
Wang Xizhou smiled and nodded: "It's okay. Xizhou and a few friends need to tidy up downstairs, and they still have about a stick of incense. It won't be too late for you to change your mind, Xiaobai."
With that said, Wang Xizhou patted Hua Xie's head with his backhand, signaling Hua Xie to give in and he wanted to get up.
Hua Xie curled her lips, but had no choice but to reluctantly leave Wang Xizhou's shoulder.
Wang Xizhou also stood up together, his white clothes falling down like a waterfall.
It's winter outside the window, and there's fresh snow inside the house.
Only then did Bai Gu see clearly that one Wang Xizhou was equal to one and a half Hua Xie, which was also equal to two of himself.
It's not that Wang Xizhou is tall, it's just that the two behind him are too thin.
Wang Xizhou stopped talking nonsense, said goodbye to Bai Gu, and took Hua Xie out of the room.
Bai Gu lowered his eyelids and silently packed the water glasses on the table.
——————
In the lobby downstairs, Wang Xizhou was sitting around with several people, talking and laughing.
Hua Xie glanced at the stairs again and suddenly sneered, "That guy is really a big brat. Let us, the spirit-devouring realm, wait for him downstairs."
A young man in splendid clothes took a sip of tea and said, "After all, he is a disciple of the Sword Immortal, and we are just porters, how can we be compared to each other?"
Everyone else burst into laughter.
Wang Xizhou looked at the young man in brocade clothes and said with a smile: "Brother Fang, why are you devaluing yourself like this? It's not like Brother Fang to shorten your stature before going out."
The young man in brocade clothes glanced at Wang Xizhou, "Who is like Brother Wang? He is elegant and upright, and dances with a pair of water sleeves."
"Brother Fang, it's a great honor for Xizhou."
The young man in golden clothes was speechless for a while, and when he was about to choke back, he heard a sound coming from the stairs.
"Brother Wang, I want to take Xiaoxiao with me, is that okay?"
