Chapter 21 Gaining Followers (Thanks to the student who stayed in school for the generous donation of 10,000 yuan)
Ever since Su Xintang used the Pillow Technique on Meng Bai's spirit and suddenly disappeared.

Yu Xuanchen had been searching for her.

No matter how many places she could think of, she still couldn't find Su Xintang.

Unfortunately, the protector of the Lu family from heaven came to her to demand Meng Bai's soul back.

They say that Meng Bai was a bonus (gift) that Lu Xiqing, the goddess of the Lu family, bought for 57,000 yuan to acquire a dead soul. He should have belonged to the goddess Lu, but somehow he was tricked away by Su Xintang.

Now, the item has been returned to its rightful owner.

Such behavior made it hard for Yu Xuanchen not to suspect that it was a conspiracy.

She now believes that Meng Bai might have been deliberately sent to Su Xintang by Lu Xiqing through the ghost messengers, with the aim of causing trouble.

This is not the first time the Lu family has caused trouble.

Purple Lotus Island is considered a large island in the celestial realm. Originally, nearly half of its area was the Lu family's training ground, and half of its inhabitants were Lu family's divine servants. Su Xintang's ancestors were among them.

Later, the "True Lord of the River Drum and the Stars" respected the decree of the "Lord of the Ox Constellation" and issued an order that "services should not be passed down for three generations, and those who are registered after four generations should be allowed to enter the Heavenly Palace to cultivate."

With this opportunity, Su Xintang and her generation of talented individuals were able to escape their lowly status.

The problem is, the Lu family doesn't want to accept this outcome.

They have a large number of industries that require divine servants to work and manage.

So they started skirting the rules.

The True Lord said that servants cannot serve the gods for more than three generations, and that the fourth generation cannot serve the gods, right?
It's alright, then let Su Xintang's generation have more children, raise them, and then send them here to serve as divine servants.

This way, they can regain the power of the three generations of gods and also keep their parents in check.

Having finally escaped their lowly status, who would want their child to become a servant of the gods again?

But you can't run away. Just like Su Xintang said when she talked to Meng Bai about ID cards, each island in the Heavenly Realm has its own identity card. Only with an identity card can you stay there permanently.

On the other hand, even if they escaped, it wouldn't make a difference.

If Purple Lotus Island is like this, how much better can the other islands be?
Fortunately, with the "True Lord's Decree" above them, the Lu family couldn't be too blatant and could only resort to various means to force everyone to submit.

Su Xintang was the main target of the Lu family's coercion.

Because she was a true cultivation prodigy, having achieved the Jade Bone Mastery at the age of eighteen, Purple Lotus Divine Island could not find another peer with better talent than her.

The Lu family wanted to suppress her in order to intimidate others who had escaped their lowly status from the Lu family.

They wanted to convey a message through Su Xintang: "Even a prodigy like Su Xintang has given in, so what are you still holding out for? Hurry up and have more children, raise them, and send them to us."

Thinking of this, Yu Xuanchen sneered, "Don't pretend to be a victim. Everyone knows what you're thinking. Let me tell you, my sister is a Heavenly Spirit registered in the River Drum Heavenly Palace."

"You've already bullied and oppressed my sister so much, leaving her destitute. Now you've arrested her without any explanation. If anything happens to her, you just wait and see!"

Upon hearing this, the man sneered: "Is this how you lowly people behave? You were the ones who tricked my goddess out of her wealth, and now you want to turn around and blame her?"
Let me tell you again, that ghost named Bai something was a bonus when my goddess bought ghosts, and it should rightfully belong to my goddess.

Although that lost soul is worthless, it's not your place to take it. I'll give you one more day. After one day, have Su Xintang kneel outside the Zheng Shen Mansion to beg for forgiveness, otherwise…”

The man swung his longsword, and a sharp sword aura erupted from it.

In an instant, it grazed Yu Xuanchen's scalp and struck the giant tree behind her.

The tree was snapped in two and fell slowly, raising clouds of dust and startling the birds into flight.

"...This is your fate!" With that, the man leaped away and flew away from the spot.

Watching his figure gradually disappear into the distance, Yu Xuanchen's body went limp and she collapsed to the ground. The man was a Divine Embryo Realm Celestial Spirit above the Jade Bone Realm, and even she and Su Xintang combined couldn't defeat him.

It's easy to imagine how much pressure she was under when facing it alone.

After regaining his composure, Yu Lichun looked up at the "He Gu Heavenly Palace Purple Lotus Temple" hanging high in the sky, and muttered through gritted teeth, "Sister, where exactly are you?"

Sister and Meng Bai were sitting on the beach in Shenzhen, enjoying the sea breeze and eating ice cream. They were also assessing their strengths and preparing to pull off a big heist to accumulate capital for obtaining their identities as soon as possible.

"The Heavenly Palace of the River Drum only teaches five spells: the Purification Mantra, the Pillow Technique, the Mist Array, the Falling Star Technique, and the last one is the invisibility technique that conceals one's form."

As she spoke, Su Xintang stuck out her clove-like tongue and licked the ice cream. The sweet taste made her eyes squint.

"I see you know more than five spells. Don't you also know how to control artifacts?" Meng Bai looked at the jade ribbon in her hair and the bracelet on her wrist. "Controlling artifacts isn't magic, nor is flying. These are just basic uses of magic. Special sword techniques and escape arts are magic. Do you understand the difference?"

"Then what's the principle behind that concealment and disguise you mentioned? Does it affect a person's mind and create illusions?"

"No, there are some sleight of hand techniques that affect people's minds, but if that's the case, wouldn't it be difficult to become invisible in a crowd and affect the minds of a whole bunch of people? That's too difficult."

"Then what is this?"

"Do you know why living beings can see with their eyes? It's because of light. Therefore, concealing one's form is to use the Qi generated by magic to distort the light around the body, thereby making the body invisible to others."

After Su Xintang finished speaking, she gave him a look that said, "Did you understand?"

Meng Bai wondered if he had fallen asleep again.
Good heavens, in the middle of the night, a celestial being from heaven is giving me an optics lesson?

Are you practicing metaphysics or science?

"So, the camera can't even capture you?" Meng Bai thought of another possibility.

"You can take a picture of it. Let alone a camera, someone with good eyesight can probably see it from hundreds of meters away."

"?"

"The Concealment Technique is not very profound and cannot be perfect. If you look at it up close, it's like looking at a human-shaped glass doll. This spell was originally a method of killing enemies in conjunction with the Fog Array."

After saying that, she continued, "Yesterday you said I didn't have an ID card. I thought that hiding my identity could avoid some trouble, so I mixed incense with my magic and practiced all night."

"What are you practicing meditation for? How is it? Have you noticed any changes?"

"Yes, after being mixed with incense, the colorless human-shaped glass turned into a purplish-red human-shaped glass, which was extremely eye-catching."

Meng Bai, Beng.

Su Xin Tang, Beng.

"Hehe~~" The two of them couldn't hold back anymore and lowered their heads to laugh in a low voice, their shoulders shaking with laughter.

As he was laughing, his phone suddenly rang. Meng Bai picked it up and saw that it was Ning Meng calling.

"Hey."

"Two things. First, I asked my uncle about the house. If you're willing to live there, you can just pay a symbolic rent of 1,888 yuan."

"real or fake?"

"It's true, that house will rot if no one lives there soon. But you have to help pay the property management fees." Ning Meng wasn't just saying that; a house will indeed deteriorate faster if no one lives there for a long time.

How much is the property management fee?

"It costs 9.9 yuan per square meter, which is about 20,000 yuan a month. However, if you pay a large sum at once, you can negotiate a discount with the property management."

"..." Meng Bai just felt that rich people are really rich, even their property management fees are so damn expensive.
"Think about it yourself. The second thing is, is your video finished editing? Hurry up and post it!"

"That's about it, what's wrong?"

"My own video has over 400,000 views, and the numbers are still skyrocketing. That big account called 'Su Xin Tang' which has nothing on it has already gained 8,000 followers. You should hurry up and post a video; you might gain tens of thousands of followers tonight."

Upon hearing this, Meng Bai immediately turned his head to look at the top of Su Xintang's head.

I looked inward at my own light spot again.

Nothing has changed.

Without time to think, Meng Bai said, "Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, he took out his laptop from his "bag," intending to edit the video on the spot, while asking, "Can you feel the new incense offerings?"

"Incense offerings?" Su Xintang looked at Meng Bai's head and shook her head. "No."

"No?" Meng Bai was a little surprised and was just about to ask.

Suddenly, they noticed that the four white dots on Su Xintang's arm lit up one after another, as if they had been charged.
