Chapter 397 No Regrets
"Is Lulu trying to back out?!"
Xiao Xiaohai was furious that Bai Lu had only remembered such an important matter after so long: "It's no use going back on your word. You said you'd be of marriageable age on your birthday, that you'd get a marriage certificate with me, that you'd marry me, and I won't forget!"
"I won't let Lulu forget either! Once I've settled things here, I'll go to Guangdong Province right away, keep an eye on you every day, and remind you every day that you have to marry me!"
"Remind me until the day we get our marriage certificate!"
Bai Lu listened to the persistent, earnest, and deep voice beside her ear, and even the last two sleepy bugs in her eyes were woken up by laughter.
Even across the distant starry sky, she could imagine the incredible expression on the face of the kid with the aloof and handsome face of a powerful figure on the other end of the phone.
He was definitely angry, nervous and anxious, and might even have wanted to come and grab her through the phone line.
She was not joking about marrying Xiao Cheng, and she would not go back on her word.
Xiao Cheng likes her, and she likes Xiao Cheng too.
She had no home here, but Xiao Cheng gave her one. He treated her well and respected her.
Her decision to marry Xiao Cheng was not a spur-of-the-moment thing, but a decision she had carefully considered after they got together.
The wedding ceremony can wait; get the marriage certificate first. Once you have the certificate, you're legally married.
Then...
"Lulu?"
Kids are just impatient; they can't wait even a second longer. Bai Lu chuckled, "Of course I won't go back on my word."
"I said I'd marry you, and I'll marry you. I said we'd get our marriage certificate on the day we agreed, and I'll never break my promise."
Xiao Xiao was only half satisfied, but he asked the other half very bluntly.
Did Lulu miss me today?
Bai Lu had already sat up, leaning against the headboard, looking out the window at the bright moon and sparse stars in the night sky.
A slight smile played on her lips: "Yes."
Xiao Xiao didn't want to hear that word: "What do you mean? Just tell me you miss me!"
Bai Lu said to her mobile phone, "I miss you."
Xiao Xiao was finally satisfied: "I miss Lulu too. Lulu, you have to be a good girl and stay at school for a few days. I'll pick you up from school and take you back to the apartment when I get there, understand?"
Even when children aren't angry, they can be gentle. Bai Lu smiled and said, "Okay, I heard you."
Although she couldn't deduce the specific reason, she thought that Xiao Cheng's emerging business must have caught the attention of the four major powers, who might then target her.
To use this as a check and balance to threaten Xiao Cheng.
Bai Lu had practiced military boxing and had a certain ability to protect herself, but she was not so arrogant as to think that she could fight six people with her fists, or fight ten or a hundred people with one fist.
Moreover, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark.
Now is not the time to show off.
There's a vacancy in the dormitory next to Shang Chuyao's; she can move in there for a few days.
It's just a temporary stay, so there's no need to move too much stuff.
Just buy some mats, blankets, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and other daily necessities, and bring some clothes with you.
The next day, Bai Lu moved to the dormitory, leaving Shang Chuyao stunned.
"Did you and your boyfriend have a fight because you live in different provinces?" she asked as she helped carry toiletries upstairs.
I've heard that long-distance relationships are prone to conflict, but I've never heard of a couple breaking up and separating after just one day of being in a long-distance relationship.
"There was no argument."
Bai Lu interrupted Shang Chuyao's daydreaming: "I saw in the weather forecast that it will rain heavily in the next few days, so it's inconvenient to travel around. I'll move here for a few days first."
"If there's a typhoon or something, we can take shelter in the dorm first, so we don't have to run outside and get blown away by the strong wind."
Looking at Bai Lu's exquisite figure, Shang Chuyao admired and agreed with her immensely.
"Don't even mention typhoons, a tornado could sweep you away. It's better to live in the dorm; we can go to get out of class, eat, and take walks together!"
There was one empty bed left in room 508, and Bai Lu moved in. Everyone was happy to welcome her.
Only one girl went to see Yun Ruolin.
After briefly explaining the situation, Yun Ruolin simply nodded and didn't say anything more.
His gaze was deep as he looked out the window of the laboratory building at Summer Moon Lake: "Is there really something in there?"
"have."
Xuan Tong nodded, his heterochromatic eyes flashing as he looked down at the bottom of Xia Yue Lake: "That used to be a mass grave."
Yun Ruolin narrowed her eyes slightly: "Why isn't Bai Lu injured?"
“She has an exorcising artifact on her.” Xuan Tong said with certainty, “And it’s not an ordinary exorcising artifact.”
"Evil spirits and demons dare not approach. Those with shallow cultivation will be instantly annihilated if they get close, while those with deep cultivation will be seriously injured even if they manage to dodge in time. The magical artifact on Bai Lu's body must not have been unsealed and exposed to light yet. The thing in the lake did not notice it and crashed into it. Even if it managed to dodge in time, it was seriously injured and sank to the bottom."
Yun Ruolin was surprised that Bai Lu, a person from a dilapidated town, would have such a powerful item.
"Is she accompanied by a powerful figure?"
Xuan Tong pondered and shook his head: "I didn't sense any aura of contact with a master on her. The magic artifact should be an heirloom or something she obtained by accident."
Yun Ruolin glanced at her sideways: "Are you sure?"
Xuan Tong confirmed: "My master is the Three Pure Ones, who has his own methods to identify the level of magical artifacts and sense the presence of powerful figures. That night, Bai Lu did not recite any sacred texts, and there were no manifestations of Heavenly Venerables around her."
Whether you pray to gods, Buddhas, or Bodhisattvas to manifest and exorcise evil spirits, or ask the Taoist patriarch to deliver you from calamities, you must recite the correct incantation.
There are so many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas: Amitabha Buddha, Shakyamuni Buddha, Medicine Buddha... Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva...
Each person has a different sacred text; if you don't recite the sacred text, how will anyone know who you're inviting?
Moreover, according to Xuan Tong's observation, the magical artifact that appeared in front of Bai Lu that night was not a Buddhist item.
It should be a Taoist item.
Buddhism originated in ancient India, while Taoism originated in China. Each has its own unique strengths and depths in its practice.
