Chen You's house was also incredibly old and smelled musty. Sister Bai felt that living in such a house wouldn't be good for anyone, so she asked with a smile, "Uncle You, haven't you thought about moving out?"

"Oh, haha, I've lived here most of my life. It's a bit old and worn out, but there's no place like home!" Chen You laughed. Sister Bai nodded, and Chen You turned the tables, asking, "When you dealt with the zombies before, although it was a bit rushed, your methods were perfectly organized. Sister Bai, I'm very curious what kind of master could train such a quick-witted disciple like you! Haha, don't misunderstand, I know a bit about this world. Could you tell me who your master is?"

This wasn't the first time Sister Bai had been asked about her master, so she smiled and said, "My master is my grandfather, but he has already passed away!"

"Oh? He's already passed away. Sigh... You look no more than twenty, so your grandfather must have been in his sixties. If he were still alive, he would definitely be a legendary figure in the Celestial Master realm!"

Seeing Uncle You's sighs, Sister Bai nodded slightly. Chen You then found some other topics to talk about, and after chatting with Sister Bai, he went to rest.

Seeing that it was getting late, Sister Bai was also preparing to rest, but Qian Xiaohao was still awake. Sister Bai walked over and asked, "Aren't you going to sleep yet?"

Qian Xiaohao chuckled awkwardly, wanting to say something but then hesitating. Sister Bai rolled her eyes and said, "Just say what you want to say. This indecisiveness isn't manly!"

"I just wanted to ask if you need an assistant?" Qian Xiaohao said, then seemed embarrassed. Sister Bai smiled and said, "No, you don't need one!"

Qian Xiaohao paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, actually I also think my idea is quite unrealistic. But don't worry, I won't try to kill myself again!"

"What I mean is, I don't need an assistant, but I do need an apprentice. If you're willing, I can take you on as my apprentice and teach you how to solve cases. Actually, the Taoist techniques you used in those movies are all orthodox, it's just that you don't have any magical power to unleash their full potential!"

Qian Xiaohao was deeply fascinated by solving cases. He rose to fame because of it, even though it was just acting. But after acting so much, it almost felt real. He hadn't believed it before, but now he'd witnessed Bai Jie's abilities firsthand. If Bai Jie really could take him on as her apprentice, perhaps he could continue doing what he loved!

"Alright, then I'll acknowledge you as my master! Master, please..." Qian Xiaohao was about to bow when Sister Bai quickly pulled him back, saying, "You really think of yourself as an actor? It's good to take you as my apprentice, but I didn't expect you to perform such a grand ceremony. Okay, from now on you can just call me Brother Xuan, and I'll do my best to teach you the art of solving cases!"

She suddenly gained a celebrity underling out of nowhere, but Sister Bai felt like the other party had gotten a great deal. When it comes to crime-solving skills, Sister Bai is undoubtedly one of the best. But when it comes to shamelessness, you probably can't find many people as thick-skinned as her!

Seeing that Qian Xiaohao seemed to have been reborn, Sister Bai deliberately put on a show of her masterly authority and said, "Why don't you go and rest early? Get up early tomorrow morning to practice your skills!"

"Yes... Master... Brother Xuan!"

Chapter 43 Utterly Depraved!

Early the next morning, Sister Bai heard Xiao Zhen calling her name:

"Brother Bai, wake up! Wake up!"

Sister Bai rolled over, looking unwilling, and said, "Xiao Zhen, what are you doing? It's still early, why are you calling me!"

"It wasn't me who came to call you, it was Brother Xiaohao who came looking for you at the crack of dawn. Open your eyes and look, he's standing right in front of you!"

Upon hearing this, Sister Bai immediately opened her eyes, rolled over, and sure enough, a large man was standing beside the bed. Most importantly, this man was shirtless. Sister Bai jumped up and yelled:

"What the hell are you doing?!"

Qian Xiaohao still had a few beads of sweat on his body. When he saw that Sister Bai was awake, he grinned and said, "Brother Xuan, didn't you say I had to get up early to do my homework? I've already gone out for a run several times, but you're still not awake!"

"Uh, okay, you know I was a bit tired last night dealing with that zombie. Yeah, I was quite exhausted, so I went to bed a little late!" Sister Bai said with a serious face, but Xiao Zhen was covering her mouth and giggling inside the ring.

Qian Xiaohao nodded and said, "Brother Xuan, I'll warm up now. When can you teach me how to solve cases?"

"You think you can solve cases on your first day as a beginner? Do you really think being a Taoist master is so easy? Take this, memorize it, and then I'll teach you the cultivation methods!" Sister Bai tossed Qian Xiaohao a copy of the Hundred Claws Record. Qian Xiaohao caught it as if it were a treasure and went out to read it.

Bai Jie then took out her phone and saw that it was only seven o'clock in the morning. She sighed speechlessly, "Damn it, it's only seven o'clock. I'll sleep a little longer!"

Bai Jie shoved the pillow over her head, and Xiao Zhen inside the ring immediately protested, calling Bai Jie a lazy pig, but Bai Jie ignored her and continued to snore.

Bai Jie slept until the sun was high in the sky before finally getting up, yawning as she stood at the doorway and glanced outside. Daytime was much better; at night, the eerie, malevolent energy in this place would rise up, making it feel comfortable to walk around during the day.

Thinking of Qian Xiaohao, Sister Bai also felt that they couldn't be too irresponsible. He had already been memorizing for two or three hours, so Sister Bai went over to ask him, "How's it going?"

Qian Xiaohao was so engrossed in his reading that he didn't notice Sister Bai's arrival. He was startled when he heard her voice, and upon seeing that it was Sister Bai, he said apologetically, "I was so absorbed in reading that I hadn't even started memorizing yet!"
