"Bai Sheng, shut your mouth!"
A furious rebuke came from the back of the hall.
An elderly woman in a gray robe stormed over and slapped the young man named Bai Sheng across the face, knocking his head to one side and leaving a bright red handprint on his cheek.

"This old woman, Bai Kui, greets Venerable Bai!"
"Venerable Bai?!"
Upon hearing Bai Kui's words, Bai Sheng and the white-clad young girl and youth behind him were all utterly shocked, their heads spinning.
Could this young-looking man before them actually be a Dou Venerate powerhouse!?
"You know me?"
Hearing the words of this Bai Family elder named Bai Kui, Bai Ge smiled and asked with interest.

"Hehe, he did not offend
