Chapter 8, Visitors from the Bai Residence

Bai Yu's transformation is indeed due to natural reasons. His physical appearance was already quite good, and after cultivating the Imperial Scripture, he has subtly developed an imposing demeanor. Moreover, a month ago, Bai Yu also broke through to the Mortal Breaking Realm, establishing a bridge between heaven and earth, and absorbing the spiritual energy of the universe, which has elevated his overall vitality and spirit to a new level

Luo Shixin nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, a group of people claiming to be from the Bai residence came to find you, brother." Hearing Luo Shixin's words, Bai Yu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said to Luo Shixin, "Then you take them to the main hall, I will be there shortly."

Apart from these two individuals, the remaining five are all dressed as guards, standing silently behind them

Luo Shixin took the giant umbrella handed over by Bai Yu, feeling extremely happy, and kept playing with it in his hands

After Shi Xin left, Bai Yu did not rush to meet the group from the Bai residence in the main hall. Instead, he leisurely tidied up the books, teacups, and other items on his desk before donning a long black robe and carrying an umbrella as he exited the room

Luo Shixin's divine strength is truly astonishing. Not long ago, Bai Yu, curious about the extent of Luo Shixin's strength, asked him to try lifting a giant stone from the rockery in the backyard, which weighed several thousand jin. However, after Luo Shixin approached, he picked it up and, after a brief attempt, pouted and remarked that it was too light. With both hands, he exerted force and threw the giant stone over ten meters into the sky, then steadily caught the falling stone.

Therefore, in order to reduce the opportunities for exposure, following Fang Xuanling's advice, Bai Yu has been continuously practicing calligraphy in his spare time over the past ten months, using the writing style from his previous life memories. During this period, he also purchased a large number of imitation calligraphy books from other masters to refine his own handwriting. The longer the time interval, the more advantageous it becomes for him

There is a saying that one force can overcome ten skills. Luo Shixin, relying on his divine power, is someone whom no one dares to confront directly, even if he lacks an advantage in martial skills. Currently, Luo Shixin has attained the cultivation level of half-step Tian Gang, with all his energy meridians and acupoints fully open, and his vital energy flowing like a dragon. However, he has yet to condense his Gang Qi, which is why he is still at the half-step Tian Gang level. The process of refining Gang Qi is a gradual endeavor, and now it is merely a matter of time before he officially reaches the Tian Gang realm.

A brief recollection brings to mind the identity of the woman before me; her name is Bai Yue. Previously, she had a close relationship with Bai Yu in the Bai residence, but her status was significantly higher than his, as she is the legitimate second daughter of the Grand Elder of the Bai family. She is lively by nature and has always maintained a good relationship with Bai Yu in the Bai residence. In the relationship chart of my former self, Bai Yue is considered one of the closest friends.

Gains come with losses; in life, Luo Shixin appears somewhat simple-minded. Each day, apart from diligently training and honing his physical body, he also meditates to absorb the elemental energy of the universe. It is likely this sincere dedication to arduous cultivation that enables him to progress in his skills so rapidly

Luo Shixin was summoned immediately after Fang Xuanling called for him. The moment Bai Yu laid eyes on Luo Shixin, his eyes truly lit up, for during the entire Sui and Tang dynasties, Luo Shixin's martial prowess was considered top-notch. After all, Luo Shixin was a formidable figure capable of going toe-to-toe with Li Yuanba. At least in terms of physical strength, Luo Shixin undoubtedly ranks among the very best in Chinese history. However, he lacked high talent in martial techniques and skills, being merely average in that regard. Furthermore, he was somewhat simple-minded, lacking adaptability; in other words, he was quite rigid in his thinking.

"Brother, someone is looking for you." A somewhat silly voice came from outside the window. The owner of the voice was exceptionally tall and robust. Although Xiong Kuohai was already considered tall and sturdy, he still appeared a head shorter standing next to this person

Two months ago, Bai Yu summoned the last hero, the Purple-faced King, Xiong Kuohai. Standing at an impressive height of 2.5 meters, with a broad waist and muscular arms, a tiger-like head and piercing eyes, his voice thundered as he stood before Bai Yu like a small giant. This truly startled Bai Yu, as even in this otherworldly realm, it is rare to encounter a formidable and towering figure like Xiong Kuohai.

At the time of drowning, Bai Yu's body was just a month shy of turning eighteen, having just turned seventeen. This age is crucial for growth, and the meals over the past ten months have been significantly better than those at the Bai residence, as Xiong Kuohai's underground forces have developed quite well, resulting in substantial income. There has been no stinginess in daily training or meal expenses.

Bai Yu raised his head and smiled gently at the owner of the voice, "It is Shi Xin, the rain is still falling outside, come in quickly."

Bai Yu couldn't help but be amused by Luo Shixin's simplicity, shaking his head, "Did you just say someone is looking for me?"

Upon hearing Bai Yu's greeting, Bai Yue's eyes turned red, "Hmph, so you still remember to acknowledge me as your sister! You went missing for ten months and didn't even send a letter."

With his bold and generous personality, as well as his remarkable strength, Xiong Kuohai quickly formed a large circle of friends and secured a place within the underground forces of Cheng County. Now, two months have passed, and Xiong Kuohai has reached the peak of the Breaking Ordinary realm. Coupled with his innate divine strength, he has no rivals among the black forces, except for a few exceptional experts at the Celestial realm.

"En." Shi Xin suppressed a smile, pushed open the door, and bent down to enter. Naturally, the one with such a tall stature and known as Shi Xin is none other than Luo Shi Xin, the foremost among the four fierce warriors of the Sui and Tang dynasties, acclaimed as the modern-day Meng Ben.

Xiong Kuohai, known for his generous nature, had once turned to banditry during the early Sui and Tang dynasties, becoming a well-known hero in the underworld. Therefore, at the suggestion of Fang Xuanling, Xiong Kuohai was dispatched by Bai Yu to engage with the black and gray forces in Cheng County

Looking at the clumsy and lovable big guy in front of him, Bai Yu's eyes curved into a smile, "Next time you go out, remember to bring an umbrella. What if you get caught in the rain and catch a cold?" Luo Shixin touched the back of his head and replied, "Brother, don't worry, Shixin is very capable and won't catch a cold."

Such divine power left Bai Yu utterly astonished

Even if they are using the same body and have taken over each other's memories, the handwriting they produce would still show significant differences. As long as the other party is not a fool, they would be able to notice something is amiss

After finishing speaking with Luo Shixin, he was ready to head out directly. Bai Yu called out to him and then took out a giant umbrella, significantly larger than usual, from the room and handed it to Luo Shixin. This was a specially made umbrella that he had commissioned for Luo Shixin, as a regular umbrella would truly be unusable for someone of Luo Shixin's stature.

An elderly man with a white beard chuckled and said, "Miss Yue, there is no need to be anxious. We did not inform Young Master Yu of your arrival when we came, so it is likely that he did not intend to keep you waiting."

In just these ten months, he has grown nearly ten centimeters, and compared to his previous youthful appearance, he now looks much more mature and imposing. It is not uncommon to be unable to recognize Bai Yu's identity at this moment.

Upon seeing this woman in a robe, Bai Yu felt an immediate sense of familiarity, and subconsciously harbored a certain fondness for her. It is likely that she is someone known to the previous owner of this body

Bai Yu awkwardly smiled; since coming to this world, he had tried his best to avoid revealing his identity as a time traveler. ... It was fine to talk when they met, but if he were to write a letter, that would truly expose everything.

A head of waist-length black hair was tied behind the shoulders, with brows like they had been chiseled, a high and straight nose, and eyes of unparalleled depth, presenting an extraordinary appearance, tall and imposing. The once lively Miss Yue was also taken aback by the arrival, furrowing her brows and cautiously inquiring: "Are you... Xiao Yu?"

As the number of summons increased, Bai Yu gradually lost the initial excitement he had felt, unless it was a particularly famous and formidable general, ordinary commanders could no longer evoke such enthusiasm in him

In the main hall, seven members of the Bai family were waiting for Bai Yu's arrival. A woman dressed in a blue silk robe was pacing back and forth in the hall, muttering to herself: "Having been missing for a while, this young man Bai Yu is becoming increasingly arrogant."

Recalling this, Bai Yu smiled faintly and said, "Sister Yue, long time no see." After speaking, he nodded to the old man with white beard beside him, "Old Qing, it has been a long time." Old Qing responded with a gentle nod.

Some tasks that Bai Yu finds inconvenient to undertake can be entrusted to Xiong Kuohai for completion

"I apologize for keeping you waiting, esteemed guests," a voice as warm and gentle as jade came from outside the room. Upon seeing the appearance of the newcomer, even though the crowd had encountered many talented young gentlemen in the past, they could not help but be astonished by the aura of the visitor.

Due to the numerous secrets he harbored, Bai Yu moved out of the Qin family home at an early age, using the money from selling that batch of gold cloud iron to purchase a small courtyard in the eastern district of Cheng County
