Mythical Cultivation

You know, this old lady has rich experience and knows countless people. She has seen countless people, whether they are peerless masters who are feared in the world or high-ranking officials in the court.

Therefore, just by talking with Wu Qi for a few words, one can easily understand his character and temperament thoroughly.

At this moment, the eldest son, Bai Junze, standing nearby, saw his mother praising Wu Qi with all her heart, and his heart couldn't help but move. He quickly interrupted with a smile, "Mother, I've actually mentioned Wu Qi to you many times before, but it's a pity you didn't pay much attention to him back then. Now that you've seen him with your own eyes, I'm sure you agree with our judgment, right?"

After saying that, he did not forget to wink at his third sister Bai Ningzhu, which made Bai Ningzhu chuckle.

"Hmph! You're just an ordinary person, not a peerless cultivator. How could you possibly understand the mysteries involved? You only need to concentrate on reading your sage's book. How can you casually interfere in the affairs of cultivators?

Look at your frail body, which looks like it could be blown down by a gust of wind. If you accidentally bump into something, you will be the one who suffers in the end!"

When the old lady heard what her eldest son said, the doting tone in her voice disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a bit of majesty, and she began to lecture him mercilessly.

At this moment, Bai Wangshi, who was sitting nearby, saw the old lady getting angry and quickly stood up. She eagerly defended her husband, Bai Junze, saying, "Mother, please calm down. My husband is also thinking about the best interests of our Bai family. Please don't blame him anymore."

The old lady turned to look at her daughter-in-law and sighed softly, "Alas, Mr. Chu, you have suffered so much."

After saying this, her tone gradually softened, and she no longer scolded her eldest son Bai Junze as harshly as before.

Seeing this, Bai Junze secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly responded, "Don't worry, mother. I already know what's going on. I will definitely not interfere with those cultivation matters in the future."

In fact, Bai Junze knew clearly in his heart that it was not his mother's bad attitude towards him, but it was entirely due to his own problems.

Their entire family, from their grandfather's generation to their parents' generation, are all practitioners and have left a considerable foundation in the military.

In his generation, even his second brother and third sister had inherited the family tradition and embarked on the path of cultivation. However, he was the only one who, for some unknown reason, stubbornly refused to cultivate and instead focused all his attention on studying.

His mother was naturally extremely dissatisfied with this, and her heart was filled with hatred for her son.

She couldn't understand why other children could practice diligently and pursue higher realms, but he was so stubborn and had no interest in cultivation. Seeing her son buried in books all day, his mother's disappointment was beyond words.

Wu Ming left the oppressive hall and did not return to his residence as usual. He walked with a heavy heart and unknowingly arrived at the place where the team was on duty.

"Aqi, are you okay?" a concerned voice came from Li Yue, who hurried over. He looked Wu Ming up and down nervously, his eyes full of worry.

Wu Ming shook his head slightly and replied with a smile, "I'm fine. But are you okay?"

After saying that, he also examined Li Yue carefully. When he found that there were no obvious scars on the other party's body, he breathed a sigh of relief.

But then he turned his gaze to the other members of the team and asked loudly, "Is everyone okay? Did you encounter any more enemies later?"

"Captain, don't worry! Everything is fine here, and we haven't encountered any major trouble. We just ran into a few stragglers who came from other places, but these small fry were no match for us. We easily dealt with them in no time."

The other members of the team hurriedly reported to the captain.

Hearing what his teammates said, Wu Ming's heart finally settled down: "That's good! Although the enemy has been successfully repelled this time, our mission is not over yet.

Therefore, we still can't relax at all from now on. We must cheer up and keep working hard for a while longer." After saying this, he looked at everyone in the team with a sharp gaze.

"Captain, we understand this principle. Just wait and see. No matter how tired or sleepy we are, we will never let our guard down." The team members answered in unison.

After this minor disturbance, the once tense atmosphere in the Bai Mansion had returned to its former tranquility. Naturally, they no longer had to remain on high alert and patrol as vigorously as before.

As time slowly passed, minute by minute, before we knew it, the sky turned pale and gradually became brighter.

Finally, Wu Ming and his team successfully completed their duty. Afterwards, they each dragged their slightly exhausted bodies back to their respective residences.

After a brief two-hour rest, Wu Ming got up and began to practice. Since successfully practicing the first level of "Cang Hai Jue" some time ago, he had not made much progress in this secret technique. Therefore, he would practice this secret technique whenever he had time.

Time flew by during his training. The sun gradually sank to the west, and night fell quietly. The last ray of light in the sky was swallowed by darkness. In the blink of an eye, the sun completed its mission for the day and slowly set down the mountain to rest.

At this time, it was Wu Ming's team's turn to start their night duty. Because they had suffered a sudden attack from a group of criminals last night, the entire Bai Mansion was in a tense atmosphere.

Therefore, the guards who were responsible for guarding the safety of the mansion were all extremely alert and did not dare to slack off for fear that some bad guys would take advantage of the situation and break in.

However, in an inn just a few hundred feet away from the Bai Mansion, a conspiracy against the Bai Mansion was unfolding in full swing.

Inside a room in the inn, a serious-looking middle-aged man, seemingly in his forties, sat at a table. His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a shrewd and majestic air.

At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and five figures of different ages walked in quickly.

Upon seeing the middle-aged man at the table, the five of them immediately saluted respectfully and said, "Chief, we didn't expect you to come here in person!"

Hearing the greetings from the five people, the middle-aged man just nodded slightly, then put down the teacup in his hand, raised his head, and stared at the five people in front of him with sharp eyes.

These five people were none other than the five mysterious figures who had ventured into the inner courtyard of the Bai Mansion and successfully escaped last night.
