Under his guidance, the carriage went around the corner and onto the Zhenhuai Bridge just now. There were still a lot of people gathered on it. Only at the urging of the carriage driver did they make way for them.
They then crossed the stone bridge and headed to the other side.
The carriage passed through streets and alleys, gradually moving away from the most prosperous areas near the Qinhuai River. The number of pedestrians along the way gradually became sparse, and the shops on both sides also returned to their original simplicity, without the previous gorgeous decorations, becoming simple and natural.
About half an hour later, the carriage entered a deserted street. Bai Xiaotian stopped and took Shen Luo out of the carriage and walked into the street.
"In this Jianye City, there are not many shops that can sell spiritual materials and elixirs needed by cultivators. Most of them are scattered in some inconspicuous corners of the city. It is difficult for ordinary people to find them without an acquaintance to lead the way." Bai Xiaotian said while leading the way.
Shen Luo looked forward in the direction of Bai Xiaotian, and saw a row of shops in the corner not far away, sandwiched between a small two-story attic with white walls and blue tiles, which looked very ordinary.
Under the eaves of the door hangs a shiny black wooden plaque with fine cracks on it. It looks like an old object at first glance. There are three large characters "Treasure Record Hall" engraved on it in ancient seal script, and a line of small characters "Jianye General Store" is engraved on it.
And at the door of the shop, there were two tall young men in black standing, guarding the left and right like two door gods.
Shen Luo Before the two of them could get closer, they heard a burst of noise coming from inside the shop.
He listened carefully and could vaguely hear a young voice coming out intermittently.
"Mr. Ma, let your daughter follow me obediently. Even though she can't be my wife, she can still be a beloved concubine..."
"Don't worry, I will treat her well. You can rest assured that you will be a happy father-in-law. Isn't it more comfortable than running this small shop?"
Shen Luo Hearing this, his brows furrowed. This was obviously the standard version of a bully bullying others and robbing women. He had seen it in a story book before when he was free, but he didn't expect to actually encounter it in reality.
"Ha, I didn't expect that in broad daylight..." Shen Luo turned to look at Bai Xiaotian and swallowed back half of his words.
All he saw was that Bai Xiaotian's entire face had turned dark, and there was a suppressed Wuming anger in his eyes that was almost ready to burst out.
Shen Luo was just astonished at why Bai Xiaotian was so angry when he saw him striding towards the store door. The two young men in black at the door sensed something was wrong and had already come forward to greet him.
Seeing that a conflict was about to break out, Shen Luo quickly followed.
As a result, I saw the two young men in black coming to Bai Xiaotian, suddenly clasped their fists and saluted, and respectfully called "Young Master".
Shen Luo raised his eyebrows, seeming to realize something.
I heard Bai Xiaotian curse "bastard" in a low voice, and he already swayed and rushed into the Treasure Record Hall.
Shen Luo also hurriedly walked into the store and saw a short, fat old man wearing a soft-horned bun and a plate collar leaning against the counter of the store. His body was slightly shrunk back, blocking a young girl in a skirt.
The old man has a fair face, slightly drooped eyebrows, and a slightly splayed beard on his lips, with a sad look on his face.
The girl behind him is only fourteen or fifteen years old, with a snow-white complexion, bright eyes and good eyesight, a beautiful nose and rosy lips, and bright red flowers dotted between her eyebrows. She is beautiful and lively.
In front of the two of them, stood a young man dressed in white brocade clothes, a white jade belt around his waist, and a carved jade crown on his head. He was quite handsome and had a rich and aristocratic temperament. He did not look like a villain who bullied men and dominated women.
It's just that the young man looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he was stroking his chin with one hand, looking completely funny and pretending to be mature.
"Bai Xiaoyun, you brat is itchy again, aren't you?" At this time, Bai Xiaotian suddenly shouted angrily.
The moment the young man in white heard the voice of Bai Xiaotian, his expression suddenly changed. The hand under his chin was hurriedly retracted, but he didn't seem to know where to put it, and he looked a little confused.
"Brother... brother, why are you here?" The boy in white turned around and looked at Bai Xiaotian, shouting hurriedly.
"Why am I here? If I hadn't come, you wouldn't have poked a hole in the sky?" Bai Xiaotian looked at him like this and was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward.
Bai Xiaoyun was like a mouse seeing a cat. He covered his ears, showed a pitiful expression, and shouted, "Brother, don't pull your ears, don't slap your face."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and looked like he was ready to be slaughtered.
Bai Xiaotian raised his hand, slowly clenched it, and struck him on the forehead with a "dong" sound.
"Ah..."
Bai Xiaoyun screamed and immediately hugged his head, inhaling in pain.
Shen Luo looked on and couldn't help but smile.
Bai Xiaoyun noticed Shen Luo's reaction and did not dare to raise his head. He just looked at him sideways and glared fiercely.
Shen Luo smiled even brighter and raised his hand to stroke his chin, as if imitating the young man's previous domineering appearance.
This move immediately angered Bai Xiaoyun. Anger rose in his eyes. Just as he was about to raise his head, he ate another chestnut and was beaten down by Bai Xiaotian again.
This time the force was even stronger, Bai Xiaoyun was so painful that he almost shed tears, but he didn't dare to show any resentment towards Bai Xiaotian.
Shen Luo saw it and laughed secretly.
This young man seemed to be a bitch at first glance, but he was managed to be docile by Bai Xiaotian.
"Is this how our Bai Family teaches you how to treat others? Why don't you apologize to Shopkeeper Ma and Miss Ma." Seeing that the young man became more honest, Bai Xiaotian said a lesson.
"Brother, I'm just asking for a hand in marriage. As the saying goes, a fair lady is a gentleman, so what's wrong with that?" Bai Xiaoyun muttered in a low voice, not forgetting to glance at the girl hiding behind Shopkeeper Ma.
"You're still making excuses!" Bai Xiaotian became even more furious when he saw this.
Bai Xiaoyun was holding his neck, covering his ears with both hands, and said nothing.
"Shopkeeper Ma, I'm really sorry. It was us Bai Family who were negligent in discipline. I am here to apologize to you." Bai Xiaotian sighed, had no choice but to clasp his fists and bow, and apologized to Shopkeeper Ma's father and daughter.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..." Shopkeeper Ma said quickly.
The girl behind him blushed and said nothing.
"Everyone is responsible for what he does. I'm not the one to apologize to my brother. Mr. Ma...Shopkeeper Ma, I'm sorry, I was wrong. Please forgive me." Bai Xiaoyun suddenly tensed up, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth.
Shen Luo Seeing this scene, I suddenly felt that this young man seemed a little interesting.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, there's no need to apologize. It's not a big deal..." Shopkeeper Ma wiped away his sweat and said.
"Shopkeeper Ma forgives you, but that doesn't mean everything will be fine. You go home first and I'll come find you later." Bai Xiaotian glared at Bai Xiaoyun and said.
Bai Xiaoyun said "Oh", turned around and left without saying a word.
When he came to the door, he suddenly raised his head and glanced at Shen Luo. Seeing his interested look, a trace of anger suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"What are you looking at!" Bai Xiaoyun scolded and walked away with two young men in black.
