I Have Unparalleled Comprehension

  Chapter 142 Xu Bai enters the third rank (8000)

   "You know?" Xu Bai heard Ye Zi's words, and turned his head to look around.

  There are too many people now, it is not suitable to talk about these things, so he dragged Ye Zi to a secluded place, and then asked the reason.

   This is a secluded alley, no one comes and goes, and the surroundings are quiet. At this moment, there are only the two of them, plus a fourth-grade puppet.

Ye Zi looked around before expressing his thoughts: "My lord, I have already said before that besides witches, there is another kind, which is completely opposite to the witches. came over..."

  In the dark alley, Ye Zi's voice sounded one after another, and following Ye Zi's explanation, Xu Bai gradually understood the meaning.

  Sorcerer, he has already seen it in the last place. The so-called witch is colluding with the demon clan and obtaining special abilities from the demon clan.

  This kind of business is extremely shameless, it is rejected by all businesses, and it is a street rat, everyone shouts and beats it.

   And this witch has a particularly strict relationship between superiors and subordinates. The main thing is that the demon is the top and the man is the bottom. It can be said that people serve the demon clan.

   Not long after this industry emerged, it was hit hard, and those who escaped by chance were another industry that innovated on this basis.

  —monster.

   It is also in collusion with the demon clan, but the so-called demon master has a different relationship. He completely reverses the relationship between superiors and subordinates, so that people are at the top and demons are at the bottom.

  They no longer borrow any power from the Yaozu, but pure slavery, let the Yaozu become their pets, and the way of fighting is to use the Yaozu to attack and defend.

  One of them is similar to a beast trainer, which is relatively weak in itself, while the other two is to completely integrate the monster race, strengthen one's own body, and carry out pure fighting.

   It is precisely because of this that this profession has gradually been recognized.

  In fact, the reason why this profession is recognized is very simple, that is, the reversal of the relationship between superiors and subordinates, which is sometimes so funny.

  Being enslaved by a witch, then screaming and beating and killing, enslaving the demon clan, then it is barely acceptable.

  Originally, after being accepted, it could actually develop slowly, but then an abnormality occurred, which brought the business to a complete deadlock, and now it can only survive in the dark.

   To enslave the demon clan, you must give enough fresh blood to eat, otherwise, if you don't feed the horse, how can the horse run?

   But blood eaters are human beings.

  If you don’t give it, the demon clan will gradually decline, and those who enslave the demon clan will also gradually decline.

   It is precisely because of this reason that the profession of demon master was not recognized after all, and finally became a street rat, living in fear every day.

   "My lord, after these people died, they had no internal organs and they were clean. I wonder if they were eaten alive?" Ye Zi said: "The demon clan likes to eat human internal organs. This has been the truth since ancient times."

  Xu Bai stroked his chin, and went through what Ye Zi said from beginning to end.

   Even if it was done by a demon master, it seems that it has nothing to do with him. After all, those who want to assassinate him, why would they kill ordinary people inexplicably?

   "Since such a big event happened, Supervisor Tiansi will definitely come. I'll see when the time comes." Xu Bai thought for a while and said.

Let's wait and see what happens, this matter is ultimately handled by Jian Tiansi, it is not his business, he should get the progress bar first, and if it is found to be related to the assassination of him, that is what he should do When the shot.

  Thinking about this, Xu Bai took Ye Zi back towards Ye's house.

  …

  After returning to Ye's house, Xu Bai stayed inside for the next few days and never went out again. Someone brought the food to him, so he lived a carefree life.

  In his spare time, apart from the usual entertainment activities, he is reading Wuming Dao Jing, and after going back and forth for the past few days, he finally filled his liver with the new Wuming Dao Jing.

   "Call someone to clean up, and then don't let them bother me." Xu Bai wiped his mouth and put the chopsticks aside.

   "Yes, my lord." Ye Zi nodded, called two maids, and asked them to clean up the place briefly, then went forward to close the door, and then sat beside Xu Bai.

  Xu Bai stared intently at the Wuming Sword Sutra, the last trace of the progress bar, after he looked at it for a while, finally reached perfection.

  In the room, a light blue smoke appeared in the mid-air. After the light blue smoke appeared, it gradually gathered in mid-air, gradually forming a line of text.

  【You observe the Unknown Sword Sutra, and comprehend the twenty-four mental methods of piercing armor (disabled). 】

  Xu Bai: "?"

   Xinfa, this is the second time Xinfa appeared. He rubbed his hands excitedly, waiting for the smoke to merge.

   Soon, the light blue smoke disappeared quickly, and then reappeared, converging into brand new words.

  【Find fusion options, fusion is in progress. 】

  【Twenty-four mental methods of breaking the armor + reversing the yin and yang of the Zixiao Gangfeng = reversing the yin and yang of the Zixiao Gangfeng. 】

  【The fusion was successful. 】

  Xu Bai: "..."

   Now he really wants to say, Xiao Jin, you have changed and become more casual, why don’t you even change your name now?

   At least change your name. If you integrate it, you won’t even change your name. It will make me think you’re messing around.

  Of course, Xu Bai actually thought about it carefully. It is normal not to change the name. The previous name change was also suitable for the fusion of Wuming Daojing's mind and method. Now it is still integrated like this, and it can be justified if it is not changed.

  Thinking like this, the light blue text disappeared, and then, the latest panel appeared.

  【Name: Xu Bai. 】

  【Realm: Sanren of the third rank. 】

  【Yidao Five Styles (Level 7): Full level. 】

  【Reversing Zixiao Gangfeng Yin and Yang Breaking (Level 7): Full level. 】

  【Returning Wind and Liuxue (Level 5): Full level. 】

  【Walking break three turns (level 5): full level. 】

  【Dou Zhuan Xing Yi (Level 4): Full level. 】

  【Diamond Heart Demon Physique (level 4); full level. 】

  [Strong Kidney Harvesting Technique (Level 5): Full level. 】

  【True Solution of Hundred Poisons (Level 3): Full level. 】

  【Ingenious Puppet Art (Level 6): Full level. 】

  [Indestructible body (residual) (level 5): full level. 】

  【Comprehension: full level. 】

  …

  One message after another flashed in his mind, and then Xu Bai felt his whole body was full of strength.

  The true energy in his body is much more than before, and the most important thing is that he already faintly feels that the true energy is about to break out of his body.

  However, before the true energy breaks out of the body, there is still a layer of obstacles that stops him and cannot break out of it.

  Sanpin!

  He has entered the third rank now, and great changes have taken place, but he is still far away from the second rank. After all, he does not have a new progress bar to complete.

   The second rank is a huge watershed, he is now a little hindered, probably because he did not enter the second rank.

   "It's a pity." Xu Bai shook his head, and said in his heart: "If only I could get up to the second rank for a while."

  In fact, he was full of regret, and if others found out, he would definitely thump his chest.

   Since he stepped into this circle, he has entered the third rank in less than a year, and this is not the most important thing.

   Entering the third rank is still possible for some extreme geniuses, but his current combat power can even touch the first rank, which is a bit outrageous.

  Relying on the Saber Intent, plus all kinds of full-level abilities all over his body, if the ordinary Yipin fights him, he may even overturn.

  Anyway, he reckons that the second product is now in his hands, and he can handle it at will.

   As for the third product...

  Sorry, come and play as many as you want.

  In fact, the main thing is the sword intent, which has substantially doubled his sword technique.

   "The nameless knife must continue." Xu Bai thought for a while, then took out another book and continued to work up.

  There are still 15 books left, so we must hurry up and learn as much as we can. If we can produce another book of mind, wouldn’t it be wonderful?

  Ye Zi watched Xu Bai continue to read, without disturbing him, took out the incense burner from the small cabinet next to him, and lit the precious sandalwood.

  Then, she propped her chin with her white and slender hands, and just looked at Xu Bai steadfastly, unable to move her eyes away...

  …

  They lived harmoniously on this side, while on the other side, Patriarch Ye sat on a chair, staring at the ceiling with dull eyes.

   Several days have passed, and after these few days, she has been thinking about the deal Xu Bai said.

  Xu Bai's evaluation of her is absolutely correct, she is not like a patriarch, but more like a shrewd businessman.

  Since Xu Bai said the deal, Patriarch Ye has actually agreed, but she wants more.

   This can’t be given away for free, right?

   But it is much more, and she is afraid of making the other party unhappy, and if she asks for less, she will feel bad, so she is caught in a dilemma.

   All in all, I want to make money without offending others.

   "Hiss..." Patriarch Ye took a deep breath, rubbed his charming face with his hands, and finally made up his mind.

   "Come here."

  As she yelled these two words, two maidservants came outside the door, standing beside them respectfully.

   "Please invite Mr. Xu to the living room, I have something important to discuss."

  The two maids nodded and were about to leave, telling Xu Bai about this, but they were stopped before they could go out.

  Ye Yu stopped the servant girl and said, "Patriarch, this is a serious matter, and you have to think twice before acting."

   Patriarch Ye was taken aback for a moment, waved back the two maidservants, and then looked at Ye Yu with interest.

  Ye Yu lowered her head and did not meet Patriarch Ye's eyes.

   "How do you know what Xu Bai wants?" Patriarch Ye asked.

  Although Ye Yu didn't speak very clearly just now, he could already feel the inside and outside of the words. Ye Yu seemed to know the deal between her and Xu Bai.

  Ye Yu gritted her teeth and said, "I overheard it by accident."

   "Accidental?" Patriarch Ye said playfully, "You are not careful, but you are really careless."

  Ye Yu's body trembled slightly, and quickly knelt down on the ground: "Patriarch, this is a precedent that has never been set in the family. Is it true that the family's exercises are really handed over? This will make people look down upon."

   This sentence was spoken hoarsely and deeply, as if she was seriously thinking about the family.

  Patriarch Ye embraced his hands, his uneven figure was particularly obvious.

She stood up, walked slowly in front of Ye Yu, and said, "I know your small thoughts, but now that Ye Zi has completed her task, there will be nothing more to do with you, besides, you gave up before. of."

  Ye Yu trembled again, but did not speak again.

The head of the Ye family continued: "I don't care how your family fights, but once you leave the door of the Ye family, you are not allowed to offend her. That is the rule of the Ye family. The second young master of the Kong family will come over tomorrow. Your home."

   "Kung fu method..." Ye Yu said timidly.

   Before he could speak halfway, he was interrupted by Patriarch Ye.

   "You want revenge, and you don't want them to get what they want." Patriarch Ye said slowly: "But you have to be clear, I am the head of this family, and I see farther than you."

  As the head of the family, the head of the Ye family is naturally very courageous if he can slowly bring the Ye family from the bottom to this point.

   Just like what Xu Bai said to her, she is a businessman, so she naturally knows what is good and what is bad.

  If she changed her mind just because of one member, then she would be the head of the family in vain, and the Ye family would not be what it is today.

   "Let's go." Ye Jia said: "Tomorrow the second young master of the Kong family will also come, so you follow him. Don't meddle in these matters."

  Ye Yu opened his mouth, but finally turned and left without saying a word.

   After Ye Yu left, Patriarch Ye walked towards the door...

  …

   At this time, it was getting late, and Xu Bai received a notice from the maid after dinner.

   "Master Xu, the Patriarch said he will be waiting for you in the living room." The servant girl lowered her head, gave a respectful notification, and left quickly.

  Xu Bai heard the words, but his eyes lit up, and he turned his head and looked at Ye Zi.

  Looking at the meaning, the other party has already thought about it.

   "Let's go." Xu Bai simply said a word, then walked towards the living room.

   Not long after, he brought Ye Zi to the living room. In the living room, Patriarch Ye had already been waiting here for a long time, and the hot tea was served.

  Xu Bai sat on the seat, raised his hand, picked up the teacup in his hand, took a sip, then looked at Patriarch Ye, and said with a smile: "Patriarch Ye seems to have made up his mind."

   Patriarch Ye nodded.

  Since the decision has been made, she took out a book from her arms and handed it to Xu Bai without ink marks.

   "This is the Ye family's kung fu method. If you practice it to perfection, you can enter the second rank."

   "Can you enter the second grade?" Xu Bai looked at the book in his hand, and a progress bar appeared there.

   But he took a closer look and found that the growth rate of the progress bar was not particularly slow.

  If it is a book that can directly enter the second grade, it is absolutely impossible at this speed.

"It's true that you can enter the second rank, but that's just my declaration to the outside world." Patriarch Ye said helplessly: "Master Xu, since you are negotiating business with me, then I also have the integrity of doing business. I will not lie to you about this matter." .”

  Xu Bai put Yin Xianqu aside, did not speak, took another sip of tea, and waited for Patriarch Ye's next words.

  Since it is said that it is not allowed to enter the second grade, but it was declared that it is allowed before, there must be something inside.

   But being able to speak out honestly is not bad.

   If a person who doesn't know how to do it is here, it is really impossible to see whether he can enter the second rank, but Xu Bai can tell at a glance.

  Patriarch Ye certainly didn't know that Xu Bai could see it, so he didn't have to say anything about it to elevate the height of this business.

   But finally said it out, Xu Bai temporarily gave her a label of honesty.

After Patriarch Ye finished saying this, he paused for a while, and continued: "If you understand the mystery, you can enter the fourth rank at most, that is to say, even if Ye Zi takes it, his strength will improve by leaps and bounds, and he will be gone when he reaches the fourth rank. There is a reason for this, because this exercise book is only the first volume."

volume One?

  Xu Bai touched his chin and said, "Where is the second volume?"

  Since there is an upper, there must be a lower, which is similar to thick and thin, big and small.

  I thought I would ask about the details of the second book, but unexpectedly, Patriarch Ye said something completely opposite.

   "There is no next volume." Patriarch Ye smiled bitterly: "During a special reason, it has been destroyed."

  Xu Bai picked up the book again, flipped through it again, and said, "Although I admire Patriarch Ye for your honesty, if there are only four grades, it may be greatly discounted."

  Integrity belongs to integrity, business belongs to business, you can’t lose money, right?

  Patriarch Ye gritted his teeth, stood up with a bang, and said, "Master Xu, I don't want anything. This exercise is given to you for free, but you only need to agree to one condition."

   "Oh?" Xu Bai said, "Tell me about it."

  I don’t want anything, but there is one condition.

   It seems to be a very profitable thing, but Xu Bai understands that this kind of thing that doesn't want anything is actually the most expensive.

   Free is the most expensive, this sentence is the most common in the game.

  Xu Bai used to play games a lot before, but he was cheated in the free pit for a long time.

  So he knows very well that things that don’t cost money are not necessarily cheap.

Patriarch Ye took a deep breath and said, "Master Xu wants to recover. There is only one way. There are a large number of similar exercises in the treasure house in the palace. You only need to find a suitable fourth-grade book and integrate it with it. It will be able to have the effect of the second product."

  Xu Bai smiled and said: "Is Patriarch Ye lying to me? If you put these two books together, you can reach the second grade, then all the books in this world can be integrated."

  Two books are combined into one book. How can there be such a simple thing?

  Master Ye said: "I dare not lie to Mr. Xu. Yinxian Qu is first of all a song. If Ye Zi can enter the treasure house of the palace, as long as it involves the same genre, it might not be able to merge into a new song."

   "Not yet?" Xu Bai twirled the teacup with his hands, and said, "In other words, there is a possibility of failure. Can I guarantee success here?"

   "This is what I need." Master Ye said: "If it succeeds, please Master Xu give me the fused song. If it fails, I will not charge any additional fees."

  After saying this sentence, she has already explained clearly, including what is needed for this transaction.

  Xu Bai looked at Patriarch Ye with interest, and already understood what Patriarch Ye was thinking.

  A powerful family, apart from the members of the family, the most basic thing is the exercises. She wants to take a copy of the second-grade exercises back.

   "Patriarch Ye, it seems that your ambition is not small." Xu Bai smiled.

  Patriarch Ye took a deep breath, did not hide his thoughts, and said bluntly: "If things go on like this, with my current development form, I will always be controlled by others. If I am not strong, others will never be reliable.

  Master Xu, this matter is not bad for you. You can let Ye Zi get the second-grade exercises, and you can also get the eternal friendship of my Ye family. "

  Xu Bai let go of the teacup and said, "You never thought about it, what if I don't give it to you?"

"Since Sheng County, Mr. Xu has never broken his promise. As long as it is the business you promised, he will be honest. I believe in this. Wuhua from King Kong Temple told me about Mr. Xu's behavior." Patriarch Ye said seriously.

  Xu Baigang put the tea to his lips, and said, "Wuhua, has he been to your place?"

  It's been a long time since I left in the county, and Xu Bai was really surprised to hear it now.

  I learned before that Wuhua is doing something to refine her mind in the world of mortals, and she goes to Chunyu Pavilion every day. Now it seems that Wuhua has something to do with this Ye family?

   "Yes." The head of the Ye family said: "Master Wuhua came to the Ye family and wanted to refine his mind in the world of mortals, so I found a dozen members and planned to give him one, but I didn't expect..."

   Speaking of this, Patriarch Ye paused for a moment, with a helpless expression on his face: "He talked about Buddhism with these girls all night, and after leaving, he entered the fourth-rank realm. He is indeed a genius of King Kong Temple, and I am not as good as him."

  Hearing these words, Xu Bai almost spit out a mouthful of tea.

   So this is Hongchen Refining Heart? Talking about the Dharma with a bunch of girls all night, only Wu Hua can do it.

   Isn't this the same as opening an e-sports room to play games and throwing the girl aside?

  But this guy has entered the fourth rank, and he is walking quite fast.

  Thinking of this, Xu Bai felt a little embarrassed.

  I have only reached the third rank until now, and the promotion is still too slow.

   If his idea is known to others, they will definitely be so depressed that they vomit blood.

  What is too slow progress?

  How long has it been since you, Xu Bai, entered this circle?

  And you look like a third-rank now, but you can even touch a first-rank, and a second-rank will have to go around when you meet you.

   Not to mention the third and fourth grades, you can play as many as you come.

   Is this called slow progress?

  Of course, Xu Bai just thought about it. If he really said it, a bunch of people would poke him in the back.

  Poke that hard.

   "Master Xu, what do you think?" Patriarch Ye has already talked about this point, and it is time to give an answer.

  She has said everything she should say, and she is willing to hand over her skills.

  Xu Bai touched his chin and said, "I agree to this matter."

   Fusion?

  Small meaning.

  The key is that he has to find a root first.

  At present, the most important thing now is to make up for one's own shortcomings.

   The fourth product is the fourth product.

  Xu Bai feels that his horizons are getting higher and higher now, and the word "bar" can still be used for the fourth grade.

   "On behalf of the entire Ye family, I would like to thank Mr. Xu." The head of the Ye family saluted slightly, showing respect.

  Xu Bai handed the book to Ye Zi, and after Ye Zi kept it carefully, he changed the subject: "Recently, I heard that there were several murders in Fengling Mansion. I wonder what Patriarch Ye has to say?"

   This matter has been lingering in his mind. Although Ye Zi knows a lot and explained it to him, he still wants to ask more.

   "Murder case?" Patriarch Ye was taken aback for a moment, then he understood what he was talking about, and said, "It's probably a demon master. After a few days of this matter, Supervisor Tiansi will definitely come."

  What she said was exactly the same as what Ye Zi said, there was no difference.

  Xu Bai drank the remaining hot tea, then stood up and said, "If that's the case, I'll take my leave first."

   Didn't ask him what he wanted, and didn't stay too long. Now he really wants to go back and finish this book.

   After all, it is a spiritual technique, so he has to hurry up and make up for this shortcoming.

   "Then I won't send Master Xu off." Ye Jia said.

  Xu Bai nodded, and left with Ye Zi.

  After leaving, he went back to the room and continued working on the book in his hand, thinking of the murder case from time to time in his mind.

  The Wuming Daojing was replaced by Yin Xianqu, and he was also slowly catching up with the progress.

  This time, Fenglingfu's party was like a mud cow entering the sea, without any storms, and those who wanted to assassinate him did not have any abnormalities, not even a little wind.

   But in fact Xu Bai knew in his heart that the other party was also slowly gathering strength, and once it broke out completely, it would be stronger than before.

   "Take your time, the later you come, the more stable I will be." Xu Bai thought, continuing to work on the book in his hand.

  Ye Zi didn't know where to find some fruits, peeled them, and fed them to Xu Bai's mouth from time to time.

  The comfortable days are passing by slowly.

   On the other side, in a luxurious room, Ye Yu was looking at the oil lamp in front of him with a dazed expression on his face.

   "I was preempted by her." Ye Yu murmured to himself in a low voice, looking a little depressed with his dull eyes.

  She refused to accept it.

   It was Ye Zi who took the lead against her.

  She knew very well that this was because she gave up voluntarily, but sometimes, when a person feels that he is always right, he thinks that the other person is always wrong.

   Ye Yu is in this situation at the moment.

  The things she said in front of Patriarch Ye before were also to make Ye Zi feel better. After all, this way of setting a precedent is too outrageous, even she has never enjoyed this kind of right.

  She didn't have it, so how could Ye Zi have it?

   Unexpectedly, Patriarch Ye didn't care about her at all.

  The more this happened, the more aggrieved she felt.

   "Why, how dare she?"

   "Xu Bai was supposed to be mine, why did you take it away from me?"

   "Bitch! Bitch!"

  Ye Yu repeated, cursing in a low voice, the more she cursed, the colder her eyes became.

  But she also knew very well in her heart that she only dared to scold when there was no one around. If she stood in front of Ye Zi, she wouldn't even dare to say a word, or even express her dissatisfaction.

   This is the gap.

  Ye Zi followed Xu Bai, so she is not the same identity as her.

   "Damn it, I curse you, you can't go to Beijing alive!" Ye Yu cursed again.

  But the more this happened, the more aggrieved she felt.

  Especially thinking about today, several family members looked at her with idiot eyes. Although she didn't show it obviously, she could feel it, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.

  The fire in my heart was burning, and it was getting hotter and hotter, but I couldn't vent it.

   At this moment, in a corner that no one noticed, there was a trace of black air hovering.

  The black air gradually turned into a blurry figure, and in a blink of an eye, the figure became clear. It was an ordinary man in black.

  The man looks ordinary, the most obvious thing is that his face is very square.

  Originally, a square face would look more upright, but this square face on a man's face showed a hint of evil.

   In addition to this feature, the man has a black and white snake wrapped around his waist.

  When the man in black appeared, Ye Yu had already reacted.

   "Who!" Ye Yu turned his head, and when he saw the man in black, he subconsciously stretched out his hands, trying to use the Ye family's unique skill.

   But before he could do it, he heard the man in black speak.

   "Want to make your dreams come true?"

   It was just such a sentence that made Ye Yu stop.

   "What do you mean?" Ye Yu was slightly taken aback.

   "What do you think I mean? I mean, do you want to take Ye Zi's place?" The man in black spoke very slowly, but it was deafening to Ye Yu's ears.

  Ye Yu looked at the waist of the man in black, and when he saw the black and white snake, he said, "You are a sorcerer, and you were responsible for the recent murders in the city?"

"That's right, I can't help it. My baby wants to eat. If I don't eat, I will die." The man in black shrugged and said indifferently: "Don't talk to me about this, let's talk about something serious. How about it?"

"you can help me?"

   For some reason, Ye Yu suddenly became dizzy, and then subconsciously asked this sentence.

   "As long as you want, that's all right?" The man in black smiled.

  Ye Yu continued to ask: "How can you help me?"

  The man in black shook his head: "It will take some time for the specifics. Now I just see if you are willing. Since you are willing, then I will leave."

  After saying this, the man in black turned into smoke and disappeared into the room.

   Come and go quickly, the whole process happened very fast, as if the man in black just came to see Ye Yu's attitude.

  Ye Yu stared at the place where the man in black disappeared, dazed.

   Maintaining such a posture, after a long time, I don't know what she is thinking.

  …

  The next day.

  Xu Bai got up from the bed as usual, and after enjoying Ye Zi's dressing treatment, Ye Zi played a song again. After eating some breakfast, he was ready to continue the liver and yin song.

  Yin Xianqu is the progress bar of the fourth-grade exercise. Although it is not particularly slow, it is not particularly fast either.

  But there is nothing to do now, so Xu Bai has some free time.

  The progress bar kept moving until noon, when Xu Bai stood up and moved his body.

  Outside the door, the servant girl came in as usual, delivered lunch, and left in a hurry.

   Under Ye Zi's service, Xu Bai ate his lunch, and was about to continue with the progress bar in his hands.

  Ye Zi also sat obediently by the side.

  Every time when Xu Bai's liver progressed, she just supported her fair chin with her hands, raised her small head, and looked at Xu Bai with extremely fascinated eyes, as if she didn't get tired of watching it all the time.

  As long as Xu Baigan lasts, Ye Zi will watch him.

  If Xu Bai moved his shoulders a little, Ye Zi would stand up and rub Xu Bai's shoulders.

   In this regard, Xu Bai said that although it is particularly corrupt, it is really cool.

   This rhythm was maintained until in the afternoon, when Xu Bai suddenly put down the book in his hand.

  Because he heard very noisy footsteps in the yard, as if someone had come in.

  The sound of footsteps has been going outside, obviously to greet him.

   "Go and have a look." Xu Bai stretched his neck and walked outside.

  (end of this chapter)
