Wu Baishuang was also surprised when a piece of jade pendant was recognized. The jade pendant on his body was left to him by his mother. The person who can truly recognize the jade pendant must be a close friend cultivated by his mother.
The shopkeeper brought Wu Baishuang and the two into the compartment inside the shop, and served two cups of good tea, but when he was about to speak, he looked in the direction of Chu Yan, hesitant to speak.
"He is my fiancé, it doesn't matter, just tell me." Wu Baishuang naturally knew what the shopkeeper was worried about.
"..." Hearing Wu Baishuang's words, the shopkeeper's finger holding up the teacup trembled. It turned out that his rumors about Young Master Baishuang were all true.
But this is not something he should worry about. Thinking of his business, the shopkeeper put down the tea cup and said in a respectful tone, "In this case, then the subordinate will speak directly. The Patriarch of the Wu family has dissatisfaction with you, Master Bai Shuang, but he and Your father, that is, the former head of the family, made a contract of heaven and earth, and will not lay hands on you until you are full, so we will follow Miss San's order and not disturb your life. But the current situation, presumably Bai Shuang Young master, you also know that the vicious dog can't wait to get out of the cage and bite people, so what should be on guard is still to be on guard."
"Well, yes." Wu Baishuang nodded, "I just found out that the current Patriarch will plan this way."
Seeing that Wu Baishuang was not fooled by the superficial skills of Wu Yue, the current head of the Wu family, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and continued, "Miss San left you a considerable amount of property. If you don't want to inherit Wu Yue's If you want to take a look outside, she fully supports you. If you want to regain the inheritance rights of the Wu family, the subordinates and the entire Bai family will seize power for you, and the former head of the family also has some hidden forces for you driven."
"My...my parents, what have they left for me?" Wu Baishuang felt very complicated, "After their accident, Wu Yue gave them a batch of inheritance."
Those inheritances were the space rings carried by his parents, but because of the fall of the host, most of the items in the space ring were destroyed by space cracks, and only some things with weak spiritual power survived.Wu Baishuang also took those things with her when she left the Wu family, and carefully put them away in the space ring.
"Of course it's more than that." The shopkeeper sighed softly, "If you put it in the open, it's hard to guarantee that others won't covet it. After all, you were still an eight-year-old child, Master Bai Shuang."
"Please come with me." Having said that, the shopkeeper stood up, took down a vase from the bookshelf in the compartment, and then controlled the switch of the secret room to open automatically, and a passage appeared at Wu Baishuang's feet.
After sensing the person coming, the candle in the dark passage spontaneously ignited, illuminating the way ahead.
Wu Baishuang followed the shopkeeper all the way down, and finally saw a desk and a small box on the desk that was preserved with ancient prohibition.If this kind of restriction is to be forcibly broken, one must be strong above the holy realm.But if there are forbidden keys—
Wu Baishuang's eyes fell on the semicircular groove beside the table, and the jade pendant that he had been holding in his hand began to feel hot.He knew that the jade pendant his mother left him was the key to the restriction.
"Master Bai Shuang, the things are right there." The shopkeeper motioned him to get them.
Wu Baishuang pursed the corners of his lips, and he became a little nervous, not only because he was going to inherit a fortune, but also because of what his parents left him.
The reason why they lost their parents when they were young was because they wanted to find a rare elixir to cure the cold poison, but they encountered an accident... For so many years, the housekeeper Wu Shu has carefully concealed him, but there is no impenetrable wall in this world , There are always a few words behind the scenes that will flow into Wu Baishuang's ears.
It is naturally impossible to say that I don’t care or that I am not sad, but the words of others are others after all, and life is what I want to live. What Wu Baishuang cares more is whether his parents will leave him some letters...
"I'm going." Wu Baishuang said a little awkwardly, relieved the tension in his heart, and then walked towards that table.
He placed the jade pendant in his hand into the groove on the table, and then, the jade pendant emitted a warm white light, and the restriction covering the small box dissipated spontaneously.
Wu Baishuang picked up the small box and opened it.
There are two space rings and a letter inside.
Wu Baishuang's eyes lit up, and he immediately reached out and took out the letter, which was written by his mother.
[I hope my son will never read this letter, so that he can grow up without worries. 】The first sentence when I opened the envelope was like talking to myself.
[But if you see it, son, mother is sorry.On the premise of hiding you, we went to dangerous places, and the ending was not happy.But don't be sad about it. Mother hopes that you can continue to move forward instead of living in the shadow of the past.I left some small things for you, the blue space ring contains spirit crystals, some treasures of heaven and earth, and some things like land deeds.Inside the red space ring is a birthday present we prepared for you in advance.Both your father and I love you deeply and hope you will always be safe and happy. 】
Seeing the last line, Wu Baishuang's eyelids trembled, and he hurriedly picked up the red space ring.
birthday present.
From the age of eight to every year.All were given according to Wu Baishuang's preferences, and there were even some clothes.
Wu Baishuang clenched the interspatial ring tightly, and then carefully spread out his palm. With a hoarseness in his voice that he couldn't even detect, he whispered into the air, "I like your gift very much, thank you."
Afterwards, Wu Baishuang put the box and all the contents into the interspatial ring, and kept it together with his parents' interspatial ring.
When he raised his head again, those light blue eyes were no longer sad, and were as bright as the clear sky.The people he cares about still love him, and the people he doesn't care about will certainly not hurt him.
"Let's go out. By the way, Uncle Lin, tell Bai Yin when the time comes, I have something important to see him, I'm in private room No. [-] Tianzi of Mingyue Inn." Before leaving, Wu Baishuang did not forget that he came to this room The reason for the shop in the first place.
The shopkeeper nodded, but said hesitantly, "Okay, but Master Baishuang, the housekeeper who will take care of you, Uncle Wu, will come to my place to get the title deed. You...how about sitting down and waiting?"
"..." Wu Baishuang was stunned, "Is Uncle Wu here too?"
"Yes, he is buying property for you, Master Bai Shuang, in case you elope and lack something." Shopkeeper Lin was speaking, and at the same time subconsciously glanced outside the shop, just happened to catch a glimpse of the person who was coming here. Butler Wu.
"Old Wu, come in quickly." Shopkeeper Lin immediately shouted to Butler Wu outside the door.
It’s over.
Wu Baishuang remembered the excuses she used when she left Wu's house to play, and Uncle Wu's mouth, silently took a small step in the direction of Chu Yan, and said in a voice that was only the two of them, "I won't care what Uncle Wu asks you later. , You said that I made you do that, understand?"
Chu Yan, who didn't quite understand why Wu Baishuang told him like this, looked slightly puzzled, but he still responded, "Okay."
At the door of the shop, Butler Wu looked at shopkeeper Lin's smiling face and felt baffled. He was in a hurry to find the young master, and was annoyed. Why was shopkeeper Lin so happy?
"What are you laughing at? Have you cleared all the books?" As soon as Butler Wu entered the door, he was the first to ask shopkeeper Lin.After he finished asking, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of two figures standing beside shopkeeper Lin.Both of them were "unfamiliar" faces. Butler Wu confirmed that he had never seen these two faces before, but the eyes, demeanor and small movements of the person with light blue eyes caught Butler Wu's attention in an instant— —
"Master Li——I won't let you go if you pay less or less!!" The shouting of address had to be stopped in the middle because of being in the public. Butler Wu forced himself to calm down, and was blocked in the throat The true emotions in the middle of the show turned into anger, and he slammed his face at the shopkeeper Lin who was smiling and watching the show by his side-swear first and then talk.
"Come on, let's go in and talk." Butler Wu's eyes were glued to Wu Baishuang's body all the time, and he had a posture of "If the young master dares to slip away in front of him, he will drag him down even if he says anything this time." .
Of course, Wu Baishuang didn't dare to do this in front of the housekeeper.At best he eloped secretly.
Back to the cubicle where Shopkeeper Lin and Wu Baishuang discussed important matters just now, there was one more person in the meeting this time.
After entering the cubicle, Butler Wu's eyes shifted, staring at Chu Yan, his face became more and more stinky, but since Wu Baishuang was still present, Butler Wu didn't say anything bad after all.
"Uncle Wu... Long time no see, why did you come to Moon City?"
The first person to break the silent atmosphere was Wu Baishuang.
"I—I!" Butler Wu's raised voice touched Wu Baishuang's sight, and the anger that Lai had brewed while watching Chu Yan earlier turned into love in an instant, and his voice subconsciously softened, " I came to Yuecheng to handle some property for you, young master. As the young master of the Wu family, you have many shops in Yuecheng. When you go out, you should prepare more spiritual crystals, medicinal materials, food and clothing. I have never traveled far before, I was so worried that I couldn't sleep, so I hurried over here, and I will find a chance to send you there when the time comes."
This reason was indeed unexpected by Wu Baishuang, he murmured softly, "I thought Uncle Wu, you would first think of taking me back." It turned out that they came here to prepare things for him to travel.
"..." Butler Wu was silent for a while, and finally chose to say frankly, "To be honest, Young Master Di, I thought so at first. I also told Wu Yue, the head of the Wu family, to send someone to find you. But you see, he is just a thing, can he do this kind of thing of finding a counterfeit to come to Moon City instead of you?"
"This Wu family can't go back if there is Wu Yue. Unless he is gone first, you can't come back." Butler Wu sighed faintly, and finally moved his eyes to Chu Yan, hesitating to say, "You , is this the one who elopes?"
It's time to come!
Wu Baishuang followed Butler Wu's eyes, looked at Chu Yan together, nodded and said, "Yes, let me introduce to Uncle Wu, this is my fiance, Chu Yan."
Butler Wu took a deep breath and forced himself to continue to calm down, "How old are you?"
Wu Baishuang: "19 years old."
Chu Yan: "19 years old."
Two words in unison sounded at the same time, and Chu Yan's eyes flashed with surprise. He didn't seem to have told Wu Baishuang about his age, but age is not a secret. After all, when a cultivator is promoted, the laws of heaven and earth correspond. There will also be signs of age on the lines of cultivation level.Maybe it was at that time that Wu Baishuang saw his pattern.
"Young master, please drink tea first. I'm just asking about the situation, and I won't interfere with your decision." Butler Wu glanced at Wu Baishuang and sighed in his heart. He had never seen his young master being so caring about anyone. This time it really fell - no!Some questions still have to be asked, and the young master cannot be disadvantaged.
"Okay." Wu Baishuang picked up the teacup, and when Chu Yan looked at him, he blinked at him as a hint, telling him not to forget what he had told him before.
"Your Excellency, when did you meet my young master?" Steward Wu asked with a serious expression.
Chu Yan's expression was also very serious: "This year, May [-]th."
Butler Wu couldn't control his thoughts, and immediately blurted out, "We've only known each other for 20 days!" It's too cunning to coax the young master of his family into signing a partnership contract!
"En." Chu Yan nodded honestly, not feeling that there was anything wrong with his words.
Butler Wu gritted his teeth and continued to ask, "Do you think my young master has any shortcomings?"
Chu Yan frowned, dissatisfied with Butler Wu's question, "Bai Shuang has no shortcomings."
"That's right!" Butler Wu nodded in satisfaction, his young master was covered in bumps from head to toe.This man has vision.Thinking of this, Butler Wu saw that he was not as upset as before. His voice softened, and he continued to ask, "Where are you going from now on? My young master is weak and needs medicinal materials and various ice-attributed treasures of heaven and earth to keep him warm. You can't work too much on weekdays, you have to take that medicine every day, and..."
While listening, Chu Yan nodded seriously, because he also thought so.
"Stop!" Wu Baishuang, who was sitting quietly drinking tea, the tea in her mouth was no longer fragrant, as if she could drink the bitterness of the medicinal juice through the tea soup, "I think there is no need to talk about these trivial matters .”
Butler Wu disapproved: "This is a big deal."
Chu Yan also disagreed: "I think we need to talk about it."
On the topic of how to properly raise a Wu Baishuang, Steward Wu and Chu Yan had an unexpected speculation.Although as a party - Wu Baishuang's complexion is not very good-looking.
"It's getting dark." Wu Baishuang beeped softly, "Can we stop here?" He decided not to bring Chu Yan to see Butler Wu next time. It's already very difficult to avoid taking medicine every day, and he can't do it any more. Take away his other little hobbies.
Hearing Wu Baishuang's words, Butler Wu nodded, and at the same time did not forget to tell Chu Yan, "That's right, let me tell you, my young master usually goes to bed around this time."
"Okay." Chu Yan remembered.
Wu Baishuang: "..."
please!It's only a few hours, and the adult nightlife has just begun! !
However, what made Wu Baishuang feel a little relieved was that the two of them finally stopped talking.
"By the way, Uncle Wu, do you know who is the person who pretends to be me? There are only a few sky-level powerhouses in the Wu family..." I really don't know which person has to come to Yuecheng to be His fake.
"So shameless, I think there is an [-]% possibility that it is Wu Yue himself. Because the other heavenly powerhouses of the Wu family are all elders of the Wu family. Wu Yue gave the entire Wu family to others, maybe he could be lured. But Wu Yue's snobbery will definitely not let the power be left to others." Wu Butler analyzed.
"Okay, I got it." This answer is similar to what Wu Baishuang guessed by himself. No one of his peers can be promoted to the heavenly rank, and there are only so many heavenly ranks in the clan.
"However, Young Master Di, don't go head-to-head with him. The guards of the Bai family are still on their way to Yuecheng. He brought more than 200 guards to Yuecheng this time. He must have made sufficient preparations." Butler Wu exhorted worriedly.
"Yeah." Wu Baishuang nodded, and at the same time, he didn't forget to tell Steward Wu that the beast horde might attack Yuecheng, "The recent weather in Yuecheng seems to have signs of a beast horde coming, Uncle Wu, please pay attention to it and let the people under your hands Avoid it, if you don’t have time to enter the city, it’s okay to be outside the city. There should be people from the ghost mercenary group nearby, you can ask the guards to meet them first.”
"Okay." Butler Wu nodded, "I'll send it to you after I pack up your belongings, young master. I didn't know who bought a large amount of goods before—" Butler Wu's words were halfway through, and he felt blessed in his heart. He raised his head and glanced in Chu Yan's direction.
"It's me." Chu Yan nodded.
Butler Wu became more and more satisfied with Chu Yan, and he continued, "That's good, I'll prepare some spirit crystals, that fellow Wu Yue must have backtracked, the red card I gave you, young master—"
Wu Baishuang took over the conversation, "It has become a gray card."
"Bah! It's really not a thing!" Butler Wu said, "I'll prepare another one for you."
"My mother left it for me." Wu Baishuang was in a good mood, "Uncle Wu, please keep these shops open, don't prepare too much for me."
"How can I do that? When you go out, you still need to bring enough money so that you can feel more at ease." Butler Wu murmured, his eyes fell on Wu Baishuang's smiling face, showing a look of relief, "Master, you just want to live a happy and comfortable life." .”
The four of them parted ways at the door of the largest shop in the Bai family. Butler Wu and Shopkeeper Lin had to sort out the books, while Wu Baishuang and Chu Yan were going back to Mingyue Inn to rest.
At this time, night had already fallen, and the entire Moon City was lit up with lights, and the number of pedestrians on the street did not decrease at all, but became more and more lively.Just because the previous notice issued by Yuecheng said that in order to welcome Mrs. Wu Baishuang, there will be fireworks at night in Yuecheng for these two days.
"This excitement is even better than the New Year's in the Imperial City." Wu Baishuang lamented the flow of people on the street, then looked up at the dark night, "When will the fireworks go off?"
Yue Cheng said that this was the fireworks set off to welcome him, and he didn't see it for nothing.
"Whoa, whoa—!"
Just as Wu Baishuang's words were about to fall, three strings of fireworks suddenly rose from the sky above Moon City.Their colors are extremely bright, like a signal flare ready to start setting off fireworks. After these three strings of fireworks, fireworks began to rise towards the sky from various places in Moon City.
"Bang bang bang!" The sound of fireworks exploded one after another, and clusters of gorgeous fireworks instantly lit up in the dark sky. When they scattered, the scattered lights set off this bustling trading capital. It became more and more gorgeous and gorgeous, and it was very beautiful.
Pedestrians admiring the fireworks on the streets of Yuecheng were all in admiration, and everyone's attention was attracted by this beautiful fireworks.
Wu Baishuang looked up for a while, and then retracted her gaze. The fireworks are beautiful, but after nightfall, the night wind in Moon City seems to be stronger.And the smell of gunpowder smoke from the fireworks is also mixed with a bit of bloody smell——
Wu Baishuang's thoughts froze for a moment, and he suddenly remembered that the three strings of fireworks that rose to the sky at the beginning seemed to be coming from the direction of the gate of Yuecheng.
"Ah Yan, it seems that something happened." A look of shock appeared in Wu Baishuang's eyes, and he took a deep breath, "I have a bad premonition, I think it's a beast tide."
"Your premonition is correct." Chu Yan withdrew from the state of closed eyes perception, opened his eyes and said to Wu Baishuang, "The first batch of monsters have rushed to the south gate of Yuecheng, and the city defense team has now collided with them gone."
"So the first three strings of fireworks I saw just now were actually a signal for the Yuecheng city defense team to call for help, but they were taken as a signal that the fireworks could be ignited by those who set off the fireworks." Know the news that the danger has come.
"Yes. I used the contract to notify Mingyue and Mingqi, and asked them to contact the Zhegui Mercenary Group and inform the people in Yuecheng." Chu Yan said calmly. He actually didn't care about the lives of other people, but Wu Baishuang It must not be affected by the beast tide, "I will send you to a safe place first, the enchantment of the Bright Moon Inn should be strong enough."
"Huh?" Wu Baishuang immediately frowned upon hearing his words, "I'm also a heaven-level cultivator, so I don't need to be protected. My spiritual power can also be used when necessary."
During the beast swarm in the imperial city, he was able to kill seven level [-] monsters by himself, and his record was quite outstanding.
"I'm not that vulnerable, really."
Facing Wu Baishuang's serious gaze, Chu Yan hesitated to speak. He wanted to say for a moment just now: But when the cold poison attacks, you will also be in pain, won't you?
But seeing these light blue eyes, Chu Yan couldn't refute. He said, "That's not necessary, don't do it."
"Yes." Wu Baishuang nodded.
Chu Yan lowered his eyes, and under Wu Baishuang's astonished gaze, he stretched out his arms to embrace him, "Then let's go directly to the South City Gate to have a look."
Just as the two of them were rushing towards the south gate of Moon City, some people finally noticed something strange in this bustling city immersed in gorgeous fireworks.
"The south city gate has fallen—! There are a large number of monsters attacking the city—!"
"Go to the south gate to support, the gate has been broken——!"
"Help!! It's the beast tide coming, hurry up!!"
"..."
In the background of a large number of fireworks exploding, the gorgeous fireworks illuminate the bleak appearance near the south gate of Yuecheng. The comparison between the two is really ironic.
The first to break through the gate of Moon City was a huge eighth-level monster, followed by three seventh-level monsters.Everywhere they went was a mess.
People whose cultivation level was below the prefectural level ran for their lives one after another, and some prefectural level cultivators didn't want to easily touch the bad luck of this huge monster. For a while, this eighth-level monster rushed to the main road of Yuecheng .
"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
On that road, a little girl who had been separated from her mother due to the sudden chaos was knocked to the ground by pedestrians running for their lives.And in front of her was the huge eighth-level monster, and one of its claws leaping high was bigger than the figure of the little girl. Seeing that monster was about to trample the little girl on its claws Down--
"boom--!"
An astonishing aura rose from the crowd, and the coercion of the heavenly powerhouse enveloped the street in an instant.The wanton rampage of the eighth-level monster was thrown backwards, and finally fell heavily to a place dozens of feet away from the little girl. Although no blood was seen, the monster lost its vitality on the spot.
Out of danger from the brink of death, the little girl stared at the scene in front of her in astonishment, and was so frightened and disturbed that she forgot to cry.
"Xiaoyan, my daughter, Xiaoyan!!" The mother with a pale face pushed through the crowd blocking her, and rushed to pick up the child who had fallen in the middle of the road.Just a little bit, her daughter was about to be trampled to death by that huge monster.
"Woooooooooo!! Mother!! I'm so scared!!" Being embraced in her familiar arms, the little girl recovered from the misfortune and began to cry loudly.
"I'm sorry, it's my mother's fault. Mother came late." The mother caressed her daughter. She looked at the two practitioners who came out of the crowd, and immediately bent down to thank her, "Thank you two adults for your help. , thank you two adults. Xiaoyan, quickly thank the two adults who saved you."
"...Thank you two brothers." The little girl still had tears in the corners of her eyes, but she thanked her mother obediently.
"You're welcome, madam, you should evacuate here as soon as possible. There are more practitioners at Mingyue Inn, so it will be a little safer." The young man wearing a silver-white mask said softly.
And the celestial cultivator who stood beside him and quickly dealt with the four monsters with thunderous means also nodded, "Yes."
"Goodbye, two brothers, you two brothers must also be careful!!" The little girl was carried by her mother and walked back, turning her face and shouting loudly.
Wu Baishuang responded, and then sighed, "Fortunately, we caught up, otherwise it would have been too thrilling."
Chu Yan was silent for a while, then nodded, "Yes." The feeling of saving someone is not bad.
"Let's go, first fix the enchantment at the South City Gate." Wu Baishuang's eyes fell on the already damaged enchantment of the South City Gate. A few high-level monsters on the ground, and many agile monsters broke through the defense of the city defense team and rushed into the moon city.
Wu Baishuang rubbed his finger, he wanted to do something.
Just when he was about to have this idea, the person beside him raised his hand and waved out a few strands of spiritual power, eliminating all those fish that slipped through the net.
"..." Well, since Chu Yan was promoted to the heavenly level, there are almost no monsters that need to be dealt with by Wu Baishuang.
Seeing that the gap in the barrier was getting bigger and bigger, Chu Yan immediately frowned and said, "You are on the side of the city, I will go outside the city to check the condition of the barrier. Tell me if there is anything wrong."
"It's also very important that you keep an eye on whether there are any fish that slip through the net." Chu Yan explained his words.
"Understood, I will not use my spiritual power casually, unless it is absolutely necessary." Wu Baishuang heard Chu Yan's implication, nodded in agreement, and a pair of light blue eyes were stained with a gentle look that he didn't even notice, " You go, pay attention to safety, don't get hurt!"
Chu Yan was stunned for a moment, then slightly curled the corners of his lips, and said, "Okay, I'll be back soon."
Anyway, it's just repairing a protective barrier, and he will come back soon.Thinking to himself, Chu Yan rushed towards the outside of Yuecheng like an afterimage.
The shopkeeper brought Wu Baishuang and the two into the compartment inside the shop, and served two cups of good tea, but when he was about to speak, he looked in the direction of Chu Yan, hesitant to speak.
"He is my fiancé, it doesn't matter, just tell me." Wu Baishuang naturally knew what the shopkeeper was worried about.
"..." Hearing Wu Baishuang's words, the shopkeeper's finger holding up the teacup trembled. It turned out that his rumors about Young Master Baishuang were all true.
But this is not something he should worry about. Thinking of his business, the shopkeeper put down the tea cup and said in a respectful tone, "In this case, then the subordinate will speak directly. The Patriarch of the Wu family has dissatisfaction with you, Master Bai Shuang, but he and Your father, that is, the former head of the family, made a contract of heaven and earth, and will not lay hands on you until you are full, so we will follow Miss San's order and not disturb your life. But the current situation, presumably Bai Shuang Young master, you also know that the vicious dog can't wait to get out of the cage and bite people, so what should be on guard is still to be on guard."
"Well, yes." Wu Baishuang nodded, "I just found out that the current Patriarch will plan this way."
Seeing that Wu Baishuang was not fooled by the superficial skills of Wu Yue, the current head of the Wu family, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and continued, "Miss San left you a considerable amount of property. If you don't want to inherit Wu Yue's If you want to take a look outside, she fully supports you.

"My...my parents, what have they left for me?" Wu Baishuang felt very complicated, "After their accident, Wu Yue gave them a batch of inheritance."

"Of course it's more than that." The shopkeeper sighed softly, "If you put it in the open, it's hard to guarantee that others won't covet it. After all, you were still an eight-year-old child, Master Bai Shuang."
"Please come with me." Having said that, the shopkeeper stood up, took down a vase from the bookshelf in the compartment, and then controlled the switch of the secret room to open automatically, and a passage appeared at Wu Baishuang's feet.
After sensing the person coming, the candle in the dark passage spontaneously ignited, illuminating the way ahead.
Wu Baishuang followed the shopkeeper all the way down, and finally saw a desk and a small box on the desk that was preserved with ancient prohibition.If this kind of restriction is to be forcibly broken, one must be strong above the holy realm.But if there are forbidden keys—
Wu Baishuang's eyes fell on the semicircular groove beside the table, and the jade pendant that he had been holding in his hand began to feel hot.He knew that the jade pendant his mother left him was the key to the restriction.
"Master Bai Shuang, the things are right there." The shopkeeper motioned him to get them.
Wu Baishuang pursed the corners of his lips, and he became a little nervous, not only because he was going to inherit a fortune, but also because of what his parents left him.
The reason why they lost their parents when they were young was because they wanted to find a rare elixir to cure the cold poison, but they encountered an accident... For so many years, the housekeeper Wu Shu has carefully concealed him, but there is no impenetrable wall in this world , There are always a few words behind the scenes that will flow into Wu Baishuang's ears.

He placed the jade pendant in his hand into the groove on the table, and then, the jade pendant emitted a warm white light, and the restriction covering the small box dissipated spontaneously.
Wu Baishuang picked up the small box and opened it.
There are two space rings and a letter inside.
Wu Baishuang's eyes lit up, and he immediately reached out and took out the letter, which was written by his mother.
[I hope my son will never read this letter, so that he can grow up without worries. 】The first sentence when I opened the envelope was like talking to myself.

Seeing the last line, Wu Baishuang's eyelids trembled, and he hurriedly picked up the red space ring.
birthday present.
From the age of eight to every year.All were given according to Wu Baishuang's preferences, and there were even some clothes.
Wu Baishuang clenched the interspatial ring tightly, and then carefully spread out his palm. With a hoarseness in his voice that he couldn't even detect, he whispered into the air, "I like your gift very much, thank you."
Afterwards, Wu Baishuang put the box and all the contents into the interspatial ring, and kept it together with his parents' interspatial ring.
When he raised his head again, those light blue eyes were no longer sad, and were as bright as the clear sky.The people he cares about still love him, and the people he doesn't care about will certainly not hurt him.

The shopkeeper nodded, but said hesitantly, "Okay, but Master Baishuang, the housekeeper who will take care of you, Uncle Wu, will come to my place to get the title deed. You...how about sitting down and waiting?"
"..." Wu Baishuang was stunned, "Is Uncle Wu here too?"
"Yes, he is buying property for you, Master Bai Shuang, in case you elope and lack something." Shopkeeper Lin was speaking, and at the same time subconsciously glanced outside the shop, just happened to catch a glimpse of the person who was coming here. Butler Wu.
"Old Wu, come in quickly." Shopkeeper Lin immediately shouted to Butler Wu outside the door.
It’s over.
Wu Baishuang remembered the excuses she used when she left Wu's house to play, and Uncle Wu's mouth, silently took a small step in the direction of Chu Yan, and said in a voice that was only the two of them, "I won't care what Uncle Wu asks you later. , You said that I made you do that, understand?"
Chu Yan, who didn't quite understand why Wu Baishuang told him like this, looked slightly puzzled, but he still responded, "Okay."
At the door of the shop, Butler Wu looked at shopkeeper Lin's smiling face and felt baffled. He was in a hurry to find the young master, and was annoyed. Why was shopkeeper Lin so happy?
"What are you laughing at? Have you cleared all the books?" As soon as Butler Wu entered the door, he was the first to ask shopkeeper Lin.After he finished asking, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of two figures standing beside shopkeeper Lin.Both of them were "unfamiliar" faces. Butler Wu confirmed that he had never seen these two faces before, but the eyes, demeanor and small movements of the person with light blue eyes caught Butler Wu's attention in an instant— —
"Master Li——I won't let you go if you pay less or less!!" The shouting of address had to be stopped in the middle because of being in the public. Butler Wu forced himself to calm down, and was blocked in the throat The true emotions in the middle of the show turned into anger, and he slammed his face at the shopkeeper Lin who was smiling and watching the show by his side-swear first and then talk.
"Come on, let's go in and talk." Butler Wu's eyes were glued to Wu Baishuang's body all the time, and he had a posture of "If the young master dares to slip away in front of him, he will drag him down even if he says anything this time." .
Of course, Wu Baishuang didn't dare to do this in front of the housekeeper.At best he eloped secretly.
Back to the cubicle where Shopkeeper Lin and Wu Baishuang discussed important matters just now, there was one more person in the meeting this time.
After entering the cubicle, Butler Wu's eyes shifted, staring at Chu Yan, his face became more and more stinky, but since Wu Baishuang was still present, Butler Wu didn't say anything bad after all.
"Uncle Wu... Long time no see, why did you come to Moon City?"
The first person to break the silent atmosphere was Wu Baishuang.
"I—I!" Butler Wu's raised voice touched Wu Baishuang's sight, and the anger that Lai had brewed while watching Chu Yan earlier turned into love in an instant, and his voice subconsciously softened, " I came to Yuecheng to handle some property for you, young master. As the young master of the Wu family, you have many shops in Yuecheng. When you go out, you should prepare more spiritual crystals, medicinal materials, food and clothing. I have never traveled far before, I was so worried that I couldn't sleep, so I hurried over here, and I will find a chance to send you there when the time comes."
This reason was indeed unexpected by Wu Baishuang, he murmured softly, "I thought Uncle Wu, you would first think of taking me back." It turned out that they came here to prepare things for him to travel.
"..." Butler Wu was silent for a while, and finally chose to say frankly, "To be honest, Young Master Di, I thought so at first. I also told Wu Yue, the head of the Wu family, to send someone to find you. But you see, he is just a thing, can he do this kind of thing of finding a counterfeit to come to Moon City instead of you?"
"This Wu family can't go back if there is Wu Yue. Unless he is gone first, you can't come back." Butler Wu sighed faintly, and finally moved his eyes to Chu Yan, hesitating to say, "You , is this the one who elopes?"
It's time to come!
Wu Baishuang followed Butler Wu's eyes, looked at Chu Yan together, nodded and said, "Yes, let me introduce to Uncle Wu, this is my fiance, Chu Yan."
Butler Wu took a deep breath and forced himself to continue to calm down, "How old are you?"
Wu Baishuang: "19 years old."
Chu Yan: "19 years old."
Two words in unison sounded at the same time, and Chu Yan's eyes flashed with surprise. He didn't seem to have told Wu Baishuang about his age, but age is not a secret. After all, when a cultivator is promoted, the laws of heaven and earth correspond. There will also be signs of age on the lines of cultivation level.Maybe it was at that time that Wu Baishuang saw his pattern.
"Young master, please drink tea first. I'm just asking about the situation, and I won't interfere with your decision." Butler Wu glanced at Wu Baishuang and sighed in his heart. He had never seen his young master being so caring about anyone. This time it really fell - no!Some questions still have to be asked, and the young master cannot be disadvantaged.
"Okay." Wu Baishuang picked up the teacup, and when Chu Yan looked at him, he blinked at him as a hint, telling him not to forget what he had told him before.
"Your Excellency, when did you meet my young master?" Steward Wu asked with a serious expression.
Chu Yan's expression was also very serious: "This year, May [-]th."
Butler Wu couldn't control his thoughts, and immediately blurted out, "We've only known each other for 20 days!" It's too cunning to coax the young master of his family into signing a partnership contract!
"En." Chu Yan nodded honestly, not feeling that there was anything wrong with his words.
Butler Wu gritted his teeth and continued to ask, "Do you think my young master has any shortcomings?"
Chu Yan frowned, dissatisfied with Butler Wu's question, "Bai Shuang has no shortcomings."
"That's right!" Butler Wu nodded in satisfaction, his young master was covered in bumps from head to toe.This man has vision.Thinking of this, Butler Wu saw that he was not as upset as before. His voice softened, and he continued to ask, "Where are you going from now on? My young master is weak and needs medicinal materials and various ice-attributed treasures of heaven and earth to keep him warm. You can't work too much on weekdays, you have to take that medicine every day, and..."
While listening, Chu Yan nodded seriously, because he also thought so.
"Stop!" Wu Baishuang, who was sitting quietly drinking tea, the tea in her mouth was no longer fragrant, as if she could drink the bitterness of the medicinal juice through the tea soup, "I think there is no need to talk about these trivial matters .”
Butler Wu disapproved: "This is a big deal."
Chu Yan also disagreed: "I think we need to talk about it."
On the topic of how to properly raise a Wu Baishuang, Steward Wu and Chu Yan had an unexpected speculation.Although as a party - Wu Baishuang's complexion is not very good-looking.
"It's getting dark." Wu Baishuang beeped softly, "Can we stop here?" He decided not to bring Chu Yan to see Butler Wu next time. It's already very difficult to avoid taking medicine every day, and he can't do it any more. Take away his other little hobbies.
Hearing Wu Baishuang's words, Butler Wu nodded, and at the same time did not forget to tell Chu Yan, "That's right, let me tell you, my young master usually goes to bed around this time."
"Okay." Chu Yan remembered.
Wu Baishuang: "..."
please!It's only a few hours, and the adult nightlife has just begun! !
However, what made Wu Baishuang feel a little relieved was that the two of them finally stopped talking.
"By the way, Uncle Wu, do you know who is the person who pretends to be me? There are only a few sky-level powerhouses in the Wu family..." I really don't know which person has to come to Yuecheng to be His fake.
"So shameless, I think there is an [-]% possibility that it is Wu Yue himself. Because the other heavenly powerhouses of the Wu family are all elders of the Wu family. Wu Yue gave the entire Wu family to others, maybe he could be lured. But Wu Yue's snobbery will definitely not let the power be left to others." Wu Butler analyzed.
"Okay, I got it." This answer is similar to what Wu Baishuang guessed by himself. No one of his peers can be promoted to the heavenly rank, and there are only so many heavenly ranks in the clan.
"However, Young Master Di, don't go head-to-head with him. The guards of the Bai family are still on their way to Yuecheng. He brought more than 200 guards to Yuecheng this time. He must have made sufficient preparations." Butler Wu exhorted worriedly.
"Yeah." Wu Baishuang nodded, and at the same time, he didn't forget to tell Steward Wu that the beast horde might attack Yuecheng, "The recent weather in Yuecheng seems to have signs of a beast horde coming, Uncle Wu, please pay attention to it and let the people under your hands Avoid it, if you don’t have time to enter the city, it’s okay to be outside the city. There should be people from the ghost mercenary group nearby, you can ask the guards to meet them first.”
"Okay." Butler Wu nodded, "I'll send it to you after I pack up your belongings, young master. I didn't know who bought a large amount of goods before—" Butler Wu's words were halfway through, and he felt blessed in his heart. He raised his head and glanced in Chu Yan's direction.
"It's me." Chu Yan nodded.
Butler Wu became more and more satisfied with Chu Yan, and he continued, "That's good, I'll prepare some spirit crystals, that fellow Wu Yue must have backtracked, the red card I gave you, young master—"
Wu Baishuang took over the conversation, "It has become a gray card."
"Bah! It's really not a thing!" Butler Wu said, "I'll prepare another one for you."
"My mother left it for me." Wu Baishuang was in a good mood, "Uncle Wu, please keep these shops open, don't prepare too much for me."
"How can I do that? When you go out, you still need to bring enough money so that you can feel more at ease." Butler Wu murmured, his eyes fell on Wu Baishuang's smiling face, showing a look of relief, "Master, you just want to live a happy and comfortable life." .”
The four of them parted ways at the door of the largest shop in the Bai family. Butler Wu and Shopkeeper Lin had to sort out the books, while Wu Baishuang and Chu Yan were going back to Mingyue Inn to rest.
At this time, night had already fallen, and the entire Moon City was lit up with lights, and the number of pedestrians on the street did not decrease at all, but became more and more lively.Just because the previous notice issued by Yuecheng said that in order to welcome Mrs. Wu Baishuang, there will be fireworks at night in Yuecheng for these two days.
"This excitement is even better than the New Year's in the Imperial City." Wu Baishuang lamented the flow of people on the street, then looked up at the dark night, "When will the fireworks go off?"
Yue Cheng said that this was the fireworks set off to welcome him, and he didn't see it for nothing.
"Whoa, whoa—!"
Just as Wu Baishuang's words were about to fall, three strings of fireworks suddenly rose from the sky above Moon City.Their colors are extremely bright, like a signal flare ready to start setting off fireworks. After these three strings of fireworks, fireworks began to rise towards the sky from various places in Moon City.
"Bang bang bang!" The sound of fireworks exploded one after another, and clusters of gorgeous fireworks instantly lit up in the dark sky. When they scattered, the scattered lights set off this bustling trading capital. It became more and more gorgeous and gorgeous, and it was very beautiful.
Pedestrians admiring the fireworks on the streets of Yuecheng were all in admiration, and everyone's attention was attracted by this beautiful fireworks.
Wu Baishuang looked up for a while, and then retracted her gaze. The fireworks are beautiful, but after nightfall, the night wind in Moon City seems to be stronger.And the smell of gunpowder smoke from the fireworks is also mixed with a bit of bloody smell——
Wu Baishuang's thoughts froze for a moment, and he suddenly remembered that the three strings of fireworks that rose to the sky at the beginning seemed to be coming from the direction of the gate of Yuecheng.
"Ah Yan, it seems that something happened." A look of shock appeared in Wu Baishuang's eyes, and he took a deep breath, "I have a bad premonition, I think it's a beast tide."
"Your premonition is correct." Chu Yan withdrew from the state of closed eyes perception, opened his eyes and said to Wu Baishuang, "The first batch of monsters have rushed to the south gate of Yuecheng, and the city defense team has now collided with them gone."
"So the first three strings of fireworks I saw just now were actually a signal for the Yuecheng city defense team to call for help, but they were taken as a signal that the fireworks could be ignited by those who set off the fireworks." Know the news that the danger has come.
"Yes. I used the contract to notify Mingyue and Mingqi, and asked them to contact the Zhegui Mercenary Group and inform the people in Yuecheng." Chu Yan said calmly. He actually didn't care about the lives of other people, but Wu Baishuang It must not be affected by the beast tide, "I will send you to a safe place first, the enchantment of the Bright Moon Inn should be strong enough."
"Huh?" Wu Baishuang immediately frowned upon hearing his words, "I'm also a heaven-level cultivator, so I don't need to be protected. My spiritual power can also be used when necessary."
During the beast swarm in the imperial city, he was able to kill seven level [-] monsters by himself, and his record was quite outstanding.
"I'm not that vulnerable, really."
Facing Wu Baishuang's serious gaze, Chu Yan hesitated to speak. He wanted to say for a moment just now: But when the cold poison attacks, you will also be in pain, won't you?
But seeing these light blue eyes, Chu Yan couldn't refute. He said, "That's not necessary, don't do it."
"Yes." Wu Baishuang nodded.
Chu Yan lowered his eyes, and under Wu Baishuang's astonished gaze, he stretched out his arms to embrace him, "Then let's go directly to the South City Gate to have a look."
Just as the two of them were rushing towards the south gate of Moon City, some people finally noticed something strange in this bustling city immersed in gorgeous fireworks.
"The south city gate has fallen—! There are a large number of monsters attacking the city—!"
"Go to the south gate to support, the gate has been broken——!"
"Help!! It's the beast tide coming, hurry up!!"
"..."
In the background of a large number of fireworks exploding, the gorgeous fireworks illuminate the bleak appearance near the south gate of Yuecheng. The comparison between the two is really ironic.
The first to break through the gate of Moon City was a huge eighth-level monster, followed by three seventh-level monsters.Everywhere they went was a mess.
People whose cultivation level was below the prefectural level ran for their lives one after another, and some prefectural level cultivators didn't want to easily touch the bad luck of this huge monster. For a while, this eighth-level monster rushed to the main road of Yuecheng .
"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
On that road, a little girl who had been separated from her mother due to the sudden chaos was knocked to the ground by pedestrians running for their lives.And in front of her was the huge eighth-level monster, and one of its claws leaping high was bigger than the figure of the little girl. Seeing that monster was about to trample the little girl on its claws Down--
"boom--!"
An astonishing aura rose from the crowd, and the coercion of the heavenly powerhouse enveloped the street in an instant.The wanton rampage of the eighth-level monster was thrown backwards, and finally fell heavily to a place dozens of feet away from the little girl. Although no blood was seen, the monster lost its vitality on the spot.
Out of danger from the brink of death, the little girl stared at the scene in front of her in astonishment, and was so frightened and disturbed that she forgot to cry.
"Xiaoyan, my daughter, Xiaoyan!!" The mother with a pale face pushed through the crowd blocking her, and rushed to pick up the child who had fallen in the middle of the road.Just a little bit, her daughter was about to be trampled to death by that huge monster.
"Woooooooooo!! Mother!! I'm so scared!!" Being embraced in her familiar arms, the little girl recovered from the misfortune and began to cry loudly.
"I'm sorry, it's my mother's fault. Mother came late." The mother caressed her daughter. She looked at the two practitioners who came out of the crowd, and immediately bent down to thank her, "Thank you two adults for your help. , thank you two adults. Xiaoyan, quickly thank the two adults who saved you."
"...Thank you two brothers." The little girl still had tears in the corners of her eyes, but she thanked her mother obediently.
"You're welcome, madam, you should evacuate here as soon as possible. There are more practitioners at Mingyue Inn, so it will be a little safer." The young man wearing a silver-white mask said softly.
And the celestial cultivator who stood beside him and quickly dealt with the four monsters with thunderous means also nodded, "Yes."
"Goodbye, two brothers, you two brothers must also be careful!!" The little girl was carried by her mother and walked back, turning her face and shouting loudly.
Wu Baishuang responded, and then sighed, "Fortunately, we caught up, otherwise it would have been too thrilling."
Chu Yan was silent for a while, then nodded, "Yes." The feeling of saving someone is not bad.
"Let's go, first fix the enchantment at the South City Gate." Wu Baishuang's eyes fell on the already damaged enchantment of the South City Gate. A few high-level monsters on the ground, and many agile monsters broke through the defense of the city defense team and rushed into the moon city.
Wu Baishuang rubbed his finger, he wanted to do something.
Just when he was about to have this idea, the person beside him raised his hand and waved out a few strands of spiritual power, eliminating all those fish that slipped through the net.
"..." Well, since Chu Yan was promoted to the heavenly level, there are almost no monsters that need to be dealt with by Wu Baishuang.
Seeing that the gap in the barrier was getting bigger and bigger, Chu Yan immediately frowned and said, "You are on the side of the city, I will go outside the city to check the condition of the barrier. Tell me if there is anything wrong."
"It's also very important that you keep an eye on whether there are any fish that slip through the net." Chu Yan explained his words.
"Understood, I will not use my spiritual power casually, unless it is absolutely necessary." Wu Baishuang heard Chu Yan's implication, nodded in agreement, and a pair of light blue eyes were stained with a gentle look that he didn't even notice, " You go, pay attention to safety, don't get hurt!"
Chu Yan was stunned for a moment, then slightly curled the corners of his lips, and said, "Okay, I'll be back soon."
Anyway, it's just repairing a protective barrier, and he will come back soon.Thinking to himself, Chu Yan rushed towards the outside of Yuecheng like an afterimage.
