Bai Xiaoyun immediately ran over in a hurry, with a smile full of attentiveness on his face.
"Third Grandpa, I missed you, so I came over to take a look and brought you some tea produced by Cloudmist Mountain." Bai Xiaoyun said with a silly smile on his face.
Bai Jiangfeng took the square box in his hand, opened it, picked up a handful of dark green tea leaves, smelled it, and his expression changed slightly.
"It's really good tea. You've put a lot of thought into it this time. It seems that the thing you want to ask me for help this time must not be easy to handle?" Bai Jiangfeng put down the tea leaves and said with a smile.
"Third Grandpa, you are really talented Tongtian, you can even predict this." Bai Xiaoyun pretended to be amazed.
Shen Luo sat aside and looked at his somewhat exaggerated performance, which was really unbearable.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have any nonsense, say it quickly. For the sake of your filial piety, I won't stand idly by if I can help you." Bai Jiangfeng couldn't stand his flattery and said quickly.
"It's like this. I made a bet with Lin Biqiu and Du An a few days ago, and I wanted to let them see our family's flying escape..." Bai Xiaoyun said this, suddenly stopped, and looked at Shen Luo.
"Shen Luo is our guest, Bai Family. There is nothing we can't say directly." Bai Jiangfeng frowned and said when he saw this.
"Originally, I just wanted to show off the power of our unique Flight-Evasion Talisman, but the two guys refused to believe it and irritated me, saying that they would have to see it with their own eyes to believe it. As a last resort, I said I would bring it out to them another day to show them. "Who would have thought, they have been urging me these past few days, and I was so annoyed that I went to my father to borrow it. As a result, not only did I not borrow the talisman, but he also kicked me out of the study." Bai Xiaoyun Hearing this, he said with a grimace.
"Do you want me to help you persuade the head of the family?" Bai Jiangfeng asked, frowning.
"Yes, yes, third grandpa, please help me to intercede..." Bai Xiaoyun nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by an angry scolding.
"You bastard, don't you know what this Flight-Evasion Talisman is? There are only three of them passed down from our ancestors. Your eldest brother used one to save his life, and Huasheng Temple took another one away when he left. There is only one left in the house now, and you want to show it off? The master of the house didn't beat you, so it's a light one." Bai Jiangfeng heard this and got angry and reprimanded.
"Third Grandpa, I, I just lent it out to them to look at, and then brought it back after reading it. If you are worried, you can follow me secretly. If I can't get it, I have to hold my nose and recognize that Lin Biqiu's grandson is the eldest brother." Bai Xiaoyun begged.
"It's not just your own nonsense, but you still want me to accompany you? You are really a bastard. You and Xiao Tian are obviously brothers and sisters, so why are they so different!" Bai Jiangfeng sighed heavily, hating that iron cannot make steel.
Bai Xiaoyun heard this, his expression darkened and he fell silent.
"Why don't I want to be like brother? It's a pity that I don't have the talent like brother..." After a moment of silence, he suddenly said this, stood up and left.
Bai Jiangfeng looked at his somewhat lonely figure as he left, with a look of unbearable expression on his face, and shouted:
"Xiao Yun..."
It's just that Bai Xiaoyun didn't look back or stop, and just walked out of the small courtyard.
"Actually, Xiao Yun's talent was not bad when he was a child. It was just that an accident happened and he was invaded by evil spirits, which destroyed the foundation of his practice." Bai Jiangfeng said in a daze after being lost in memories for a long time.
Shen Luo frowned slightly when he heard this, not knowing what he was thinking.
Outside the gate of White Residence, Bai Xiaoyun was in a bad mood. He drank away the two followers who usually followed him closely, then boarded a carriage alone and headed for the largest gambling house in the city, "Fortune-Bringing House".
Bai Xiaoyun is not addicted to gambling, but when he is depressed, he goes there to vent.
But it was no coincidence that today, when he came to Fortune-Bringing House, he opened the door curtain and saw at a glance a young man wearing a jade crown and a purple brocade robe standing in front of the Pai Gow gambling table. His appearance was quite handsome, but there was a black mole on the tip of his nose, which really ruined the beauty.
The young man in purple robe held two playing cards in his hands and was rubbing the numbers on them vigorously. He even brought his face close to him, squinting one eye and looking at it with excitement.
Behind him, there stood a round-faced young man in a green round-collared robe. He was a little fat, with beads of sweat hanging from his forehead. He also leaned his face towards him and looked at the cards in the hand of the purple-robed young man.
Behind them, there were seven or eight men in black, all of them fierce and powerful. At first glance, they were followers with extraordinary skills.
"What the hell, I didn't want to run into these two unlucky things, but I happened to run into them." Bai Xiaoyun muttered to himself, let go of the door curtain, turned around and left.
But just as he let go, the round-faced young man raised his head out of nowhere and caught a glimpse of him.
"Hey, Bai Xiaoyun..."
The voice of the round-faced young man was not loud, and it did not stand out in the noisy gambling house, but Bai Xiaoyun heard it immediately. Goosebumps suddenly appeared on the back of his spine, and his steps quickly accelerated.
"What? Bai Xiaoyun?"
When the young man in purple robe heard the sound, he threw down his playing cards and ran after him, regardless of whether he won or lost in Pai Gow.
The round-faced young man and a group of followers also followed immediately.
But when they left the gambling house, people were coming and going, but Bai Xiaoyun was already gone.
"Du An, you read that right, is it really him?" The purple-robed young man glanced around and asked with a frown.
"Young Master Lin, I must have seen that right, it's that guy." The round-faced young man replied immediately.
This round-faced young man is none other than Du An, a descendant of the Du Family, and the young man in purple robe is Lin Biqiu, a descendant of the Lin Family.
"This kid has been avoiding us these days, it must be because of the bet. We can't let him run away, let's go look for him separately." Lin Biqiu sneered and shouted.
Several subordinates behind him immediately responded and dispersed immediately.
"No need to go to such trouble." An old voice suddenly sounded.
An old man wearing a gray cloth robe suddenly walked out of the crowd and came to a few people. His eye sockets were sunken, his nose was straight, his cheeks were pointed and thin, and his skin was sickly pale.
"Elder Lu Ying, why are you here?" Lin Biqiu said in surprise when he saw this.
"Jianye City is not peaceful lately. Your father sent me to protect you secretly. The Bai Family kid you are looking for went to Penglu Alley." Lu Ying pointed to an alley in the distance and said.
"I know, thank you Elder Lu." Lin Biqiu grinned and immediately led his men to chase after him.
Lu Ying did not follow him, but retreated into the crowd, and his figure disappeared again.
In Penglu Alley, Bai Xiaoyun was kicking a stone on the ground and mumbling something. When he suddenly looked up, he saw several men in black blocking the front.
When he looked back, Lin Biqiu and several others had already caught up from behind.
