Originally, Long Chen didn't want to bring Bai Xiaole along. On one hand, Bai Xiaole had a special status—after all, he was Bai Shishi's younger brother and the director's grandson, and he never looked down on anyone's favor.
On the other hand, if Bai Xiaole followed Long Chen risking his life along the way, and if anything happened to Bai Xiaole, he wouldn't be able to explain to the director.
But Bai Xiaole really has something wrong with his brain. He's quite tall, but sometimes his thinking is as childish as a child.
It is said that this was all due to his congenital shortcomings. His mother was injured during pregnancy, which affected his talent. To put it bluntly, he had some intellectual disabilities.
But this guy just kept his eyes fixed on Long Chen, unable to get rid of him, clinging to him tightly. Long Chen had no choice but to let him follow for now, and Long Chen also wanted to study Bai Xiaole's calico pupils.
However, Bai Xiaole did not have the status of an inner disciple and could not join the guild with Long Chen. This was simple: Long Chen asked Bai Xiaole to conduct an assessment.
But when he showed Long Chen the test paper, he nearly lost his mind: "Forty multiple-choice questions, two-way choice, and you didn't get any of them right. Tell me, how did you skillfully avoid the correct answer?" Bai
Xiaole's talent and cultivation didn't need to be tested, but inner sect disciples needed a comprehensive assessment, including some related theoretical knowledge. These theories were all very simple, yet Bai Xiaole didn't get any of them right. Long Chen was speechless.
Luo Bing, Luo Ning, Mu Qingyun, and the others didn't want to laugh, because that would make Bai Xiaole think they were mocking him. But Long Chen looked utterly incredulous, while Bai Xiaole looked innocent, as if saying, 'I did my best.' In the end, they couldn't help but laugh.
"Boss, this thing is way too hard." Bai Xiaole also said helplessly.
Long Chen took a deep breath. If Bai Xiaole kept up like this, he had a feeling that helping him activate the Three Flowers Eye was simply impossible.
Seeing Bai Xiaole's pitiful expression, Luo Bing comforted him kindly and tried to help him pass quickly.
After all, Bai Xiaole's cultivation level was there, and being stuck in such a simple stage as the written exam was truly a pity.
Luo Bing, Luo Ning, Mu Qingyun, Zhong Ling, and Zhong Xiu taught him together. After a while, Luo Ning's temper flared up, and she almost grabbed Bai Xiaole by the collar. In the end, Luo Ning couldn't take it and left first.
With the help of Luo Bing and the others, after seven rounds of exams, Bai Xiaole barely passed once. Bai Xiaole finally received the nameplate for an inner disciple. Bai Xiaole was thrilled, and Luo Bing and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Through this period of interacting with Bai Xiaole, everyone realized that although he held a prestigious status, he did not receive any special treatment.
Apart from being able to stroll back and forth in the academy, he doesn't have any special privileges, so not many people in the inner sect know about him. Sometimes, if he offends a strong opponent, he'll get beaten up and no one pays him any attention.
Although Bai Xiaole and Bai Shishi are siblings, their relationship is not as close as other siblings. According to Bai Xiaole, they are almost like enemies.
Bai Shishi was not only cold to him, but also to their father, as if she despised all men.
But Bai Xiaole's narration was completely illogical—sometimes this happened, sometimes west, confused and confusing, making it very hard to listen to.
The women thought Bai Xiaole was quite pitiful. His sister looked down on him, his parents didn't care much, and even his grandfather, who was the director, could barely remember what he looked like. It seemed there was little familial affection in their family.
Moreover, Bai Xiaole muttered that his father was a fierce man who often beat him, always beating him half to death, leaving people half believing and half doubting. Is there really such a father in this world? This is truly a bizarre family.
Long Chen originally didn't like being alone by his side, but seeing Bai Xiaole's pitiful expression, he couldn't bear to refuse and signed him up too. This time, he brought him along with Lin Xiandi.
Upon learning he could go to the Jialin Immortal Land, Bai Xiaole was as excited as a child, jumping around wildly. He said that in all his life, he had never left the academy and especially longed for the outside world.
So Bai Xiaole became Long Chen's little sidekick, living with him and quietly waiting for news from the academy. Although it was said to be three days, in reality, they only confirmed the news on the fourth day and set out the next day.
Long Chen rested in Luomen's meditation room, adjusting his state of mind to get himself into peak condition.
Just as Long Chen was resting in the quiet chamber, he suddenly heard a cry from outside, followed by Bai Xiaole's piercing scream.
Long Chen was shocked and rushed out, only to see a tall middle-aged man like an iron tower, with a bristly beard, chasing after Bai Xiaole.
Luo Bing and the others went to stop him, but the burly man waved his hand, sending him flying far away. Luo Ning spat out a mouthful of blood.
Bai Xiaole's face was filled with terror, covered in blood. Seeing Long Chen come out, it was as if he'd found a savior:
"Boss, save me!"
"Hoo."
At that moment, the big man kicked Bai Xiaole in the stomach, This kick was fierce and ruthless.
"Bang!"
Long Chen moved and appeared in front of Bai Xiaole. His right foot kicked the man's leg, causing the two legs to collide. Long Chen's body shook violently, a sharp pain shot through his leg, as if he had been kicked into steel, causing him to stagger back two steps.
Long Chen was shocked. That person couldn't tell his cultivation, let alone any immortal energy fluctuations, relying solely on physical strength to nearly break his leg.
Long Chen was shaken backward, and the man was kicked by Long Chen. His figure flickered, unable to catch up to Bai Xiaole any longer.
"Get lost!"
Seeing Bai Xiaole trying to escape, the man flew into a rage. He threw a punch at Long Chen, and with a single punch, the space seemed to tear open. Long Chen was suffocated by the wind of the punch, as if his internal organs were being squeezed out.
"Boom!"
The divine ring behind Long Chen lit up, his fist wrapped in dragon scales. He struck the man's fist, and when the two fists met, shockwaves surged. The Luo Sect headquarters, originally a small pavilion, was suddenly blasted off by a single punch, the roof was blown off in an instant, and all the disciples inside the headquarters were thrown away in disarray.
Long Chen summoned his divine ring and dragon scales, barely managing to withstand the man's casual strike. After that punch, his arm was actually numb from the impact.
"Get lost!"
The burly man was also stunned, but after a moment, he flipped his hand and grabbed Long Chen's wrist, trying to throw him away.
But just as his hand grabbed Long Chen's wrist, Long Chen slipped out of his palm and, with a casual pull, shook off Long Chen's hand. The speed of his move change caught him off guard, and in a fit of rage, he threw a punch at Long Chen.
"Crack!"
"Bang!"
Long Chen and the burly man were both sent flying backward.
Long Chen felt a sharp pain in his head, stars flashing before his eyes. Touching his head, the pain pierced his heart—he had actually been punched, swelling up into a bump the size of a duck egg.
Long Chen was furious and was about to summon a six-star battle body, when a cold shout rang out:
"Who dares to be so bold... How dare you be here... The Hall Master... You ... How did you end up here? "
The
Luomen headquarters was destroyed, triggering an alarm and alerting the powerful figures. When those strong men saw the big man, their eyes nearly popped out.
