Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

The first piece of meat, Bai Xuan gave to the Dongting Immortal Sect represented by Xu Zhangqing.

The second piece of meat, Bai Xuan gave to his own father, namely Bai Chuan.

Then the third piece of meat, the fourth piece of meat began to be given to the surrounding guests.

Until the tiger demon bled to death, only a tiny bit of skin and flesh remained on its body, looking too horrible to behold.

The Bai Family people did not waste it, summoning that group of Green-backed Wolves from just now to share and eat it.

Among them, some people even faced the direction of Qingji Mountain, muttering: "Wolf Mother bless my Bai Family, humans and wolves together guard Qingji!"

The pack of wolves nearby let out howls from time to time, as if responding.

The scene looked like a sacrificial ritual was being held.

The scene looked bloody.

Bloodstains were everywhere.

The air was filled with a thick, fishy stench.

However, most of those present were cultivators.

What's more, everyone hated demons as much as possible.

A weather-beaten male loose cultivator, picking up the tiger meat he received, gnawed on it raw while cursing: "Last year my brother was eaten by a demon, today I finally vent my anger!"

In fact, never mind cutting the meat.

Everyone wished they could pluck the fur, drink the blood, suck the marrow.

Without these beasts causing trouble, the Central Region wouldn't have become the situation it is today.

Xu Zhangqing held a wine cup, his gaze sweeping across the square without revealing anything, but he didn't see that figure in a red short jacket from daytime; he tilted his head and asked Bai Chuan on his left: "Where is Bai Ye?"

Bai Chuan said blandly: "The more people, the more uncomfortable he is; he prefers to be alone."

Xu Zhangqing heard this and set aside his curiosity, continuing to drink wine and eat meat.

Time flew by, an hour passed.

The moonlight was at its richest, the Bai Family people's expressions becoming increasingly solemn.

At this moment, a big moon in the sky, a small moon below.

That small moon was precisely Xu Zhangqing's Moonlight Boat, currently still floating above the Bai Family, the boat's fluorescent glow echoing distantly with the moonlight. Appearing exceptionally mysterious.

Everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but praise: "Worthy of being an Immortal Sect disciple."

And the wedding was about done by this point.

The Groom and Bride sat on the wooden sedan again, dragged by a group of Green-backed Wolves, circled the square and the crowd once more, then amid everyone's blessings, slowly returned to the Inner Court.

Different places, different wedding customs.

Over in the Eastern Region they can make trouble in the bridal chamber, tossing about until very late.

But in the Central Region, especially here at the Bai Family, instead they must keep quiet.

Resting places were already arranged; Xu Zhangqing and the others each had a separate room, though not large, inside the furniture like beds, tables and such was all there.

The bedding was all new, emitting a faint fragrance.

The Bai Family in terms of hosting guests was indeed extremely hospitable, leaving nothing to pick fault with.

Xu Zhangqing was just preparing to lie down when he suddenly perceived someone approaching; a sweep of his divine sense told him who it was, so he looked toward the open window.

Not long after, with a sound of "rustling," a slightly pale face appeared immediately after.

Not tall, looked about seventeen or eighteen years old.

Face shape narrow, both cheeks slightly sunken.

Eyebrows flat, ends drooping a bit.

Almond eyes slightly long, very heavy dark circles.

Eyelashes long and fine, only sparse in number.

Nose bridge narrow, nostrils thin, appearing small and delicate.

Chin had no flesh, instead a bit pointed.

Looked like he hadn't woken up, appearing particularly listless.

This person didn't expect to be discovered; glancing into the room, he happened to meet eyes with the person inside, scared so that his whole body trembled.

Xu Zhangqing asked with a smile: "You seem quite interested in me?"

Bai Ye stepped back, eyes starting to dodge, looking very nervous: "I... I..."

Xu Zhangqing was very curious: "What exactly are you looking at?"

Bai Ye lifted his eyelids slightly, said softly: "I want to confirm one thing."

Xu Zhangqing asked in surprise: "What thing?"

Bai Ye took a deep breath, as if mustering all his courage: "What spiritual root do you actually have?"

As these words fell, the smile on Xu Zhangqing's face instantly froze, the amusement in his pupils vanishing completely, instead turning icy sharp: "You... what do you mean?"

Bai Ye didn't perceive the change in the other's gaze, instead thinking seriously: "I feel this person, from inside to out, is very complex."

Xu Zhangqing narrowed his eyes: "How did you tell?"

Bai Ye gave a dry laugh, explained: "Inborn."

Xu Zhangqing looked thoughtful: "Since it's a talent, that means you are a special person, perhaps able to become a cultivator."

Bai Ye nodded: "Yes, Xuan Dage said the same."

Xu Zhangqing took out a Spirit Root Stone and tossed it over: "Touch it, see what kind of spiritual root you have."

Bai Ye subconsciously caught it, not knowing what to do, and could only hold it blankly.

Soon, a cool breath surged into his body.

At first it searched for something, constantly seeping through.

Not long after, apparently having found it, they all gathered toward the tattoo on his arm.

The next second, the Spirit Root Stone turned bright red, like a branding iron, and even the surrounding air began to heat up, as if it were on fire.

Xu Zhangqing was stunned: "Could it be some kind of special Fire Spirit Root?"

Bai Ye jumped in fright, immediately let go of the Spirit Root Stone, letting it fall to the ground, then asked with a panicked face: "Is it on fire?"

Xu Zhangqing arrived at the passage outside as if teleporting, then smiled and extended an invitation: "You have a spiritual root and can cultivate immortality. Do you want to join Dongting Immortal Sect?"

Logically, facing such a tremendous temptation, no one would refuse, but Bai Ye shook his head: "No, I'm not going."

Xu Zhangqing was stunned, then couldn't help but press further: "Why?"

Bai Ye stared straight at him and replied: "Because I want to go home!"

Xu Zhangqing was puzzled: "Isn't this your home?"

Bai Ye quickly waved his hands: "No, this isn't my home; it's Xuan Dage's home."

Xu Zhangqing raised an eyebrow: "Then where is your home?"

Bai Ye turned to look at the empty yard outside and said with a blank gaze: "I don't know where home is either; maybe I'll get there if I just keep walking."

This answer was too absurd, so Xu Zhangqing simply didn't believe it, always feeling that the person before him was feigning ignorance: "It's very dangerous for you alone out there; man-eating demons are everywhere in the Central Region. You might as well come with me to the Immortal Sect."

"Besides, after Bai Xuan gets married, he definitely won't have the time or energy to look after you."

Bai Ye deeply agreed with this, nodding: "You're right, so I plan to leave here tonight."

Xu Zhangqing was surprised: "Where to?"

Bai Ye grinned: "Home!"

Xu Zhangqing said unhappily: "You don't even know where home is; how are you going back?"

Bai Ye instead countered: "Do you know where your own home is?"

Xu Zhangqing was stunned by the question, his gaze slowly shifting from doubt to melancholy. After a while, he softly murmured: "My home is at Dongting Immortal Sect, at the Spirit Field Core, in Hongfeng Valley."

"My Dao Companion is Ruo Qunshuang, my daughter is Xu Linglong."

"I've raised two dogs, one chicken, one Yang Tree, seven mu of Spirit Fields..."
