Chapter 1727: Chapter 1758: No Li Xiaobai in the Book of Life and Death!
“My daughter-in-law is unwell today and is not suitable for eting guests.”
Granny Liu sipped her tea calmly.
“Just a glance, it won’t be a problem.”
“The Liu family’s daughter-in-law has encountered this misfortune. As officers of the Netherworld, we are deeply distressed.”
“Offering a few words of sympathy is only right.”
Li Xiaobai put on a compassionate expression.
“I appreciate the kindness of you two Supre Deities, but my daughter-in-law truly cannot et guests. Today, I will take good care of her, and you may visit tomorrow.”
Granny Liu warmly welcod them with a smiling face, saying cheerfully.
This lady is a master of playing dumb, continuing as long as she doesn’t have to make things explicit.
Li Xiaobai’s face darkened: “What, you won’t allow us to see your daughter-in-law even though we ca in person?”
“Is there so hidden truth you’re afraid of being discovered, guilty as a thief?”
“What do you an, Supre Deity? The Netherworld is always considerate of people’s sentints. How can one ignore others’ lives out of selfish desire?”
“Today, I am busy with many matters, so it’s best if you return for now.”
Granny Liu stood up to see the guests off, her expression equally stern, with no hint of awe towards the Baihe Boy. This old lady was confident, though it was unclear where her confidence ca from.
Li Xiaobai glanced at Baihe Boy, reversed his wrist, drew out the longsword, and the invisible sword intent in the air cut the table into dust.
“In the current world of spirits, you’re the first to dare to show , Li Xiaobai, such disrespect!”
“Even the Great God White Crane wouldn’t dare issue an eviction order. Just a re woman, and yet she dares to drive us away. Today, I must see whether your daughter-in-law is human or a demon!”
Li Xiaobai sighed inwardly, the three-foot green blade in his hand trembling, the Demon-Sealing Sword Intent rampaging, a majestic aura pressing down on Granny Liu.
“You…”
“Are you planning to attack ?”
“Do you know where this place is?”
“Have you considered the consequences?”
Granny Liu was shocked, a deep fear showing in her eyes. She couldn’t figure out Li Xiaobai’s background, and with Baihe Boy sitting here, if they really took action, she would surely die.
“I knew the Liu family wasn’t simple. I’m afraid the disaster here isn’t caused by the Ghost Fetus. If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll demolish this house today!”
Li Xiaobai’s eyes shot out a fierce light, trying to appear as nacing as possible. The aura was strong, but he hesitated to act. He couldn’t gauge Granny Liu’s depths, and he knew Baihe Boy wouldn’t help.
Fourth Senior Brother Yang Chen said that a small soldier in the Netherworld could easily defeat him. Facing Granny Liu now, his heart was indeed wavering.
Just as the standoff continued, an anxious shout ca from outside the door.
“Mother, are you all right!”
“I’ve brought the officials, mother!”
“Don’t be afraid, I’ll co to save you now!”
A middle-aged man stumbled in from outside, Granny Liu’s son. Behind him followed a troop of soldiers, led by none other than Liu Dalang.
It had only been two hours since they last t, yet here they were again. Li Xiaobai’s gaze was sowhat amused, while cold sweat stread down Liu Dalang’s forehead.
“Lord Liu, these two Supre Deities have trespassed into our Liu residence, and verbally threatened to kill my daughter-in-law, will you intervene?”
Granny Liu saw that help had arrived, imdiately breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted her sleeves, sat back in the Taishi Chair, and regained her forr composure.
“Of course, I must intervene; it’s my duty to do so.”
Liu Dalang nodded and bowed, his face full of bitterness.
“Lord Liu, we et again. Quite the presence you have here.”
“Usually you move like a snail with your troops, but now you’re quite fast. Bringing so many, are you here to arrest this deity? Or perhaps you wish to strike down both myself and the Great God White Crane?”
Li Xiaobai sheathed his sword and casually asked.
The son of the Liu family had been away, possibly seeking reinforcents.
This confird there was sothing more to the alleged supernatural affairs at the Liu residence, undoubtedly involving Netherworld officials.
“You’re joking, Supre Deity. Young Master Liu was just anxious, and I thought sothing big had happened in the Liu family, so I rushed over, not expecting both deities to be here. I’m relieved.”
“Great Deity Li, you know, currently the Liu family is under scrutiny, a single mistake could cost my head. If the Liu family has wronged you, I’m willing to diate.”
Liu Dalang wiped the cold sweat from his face, forced a smile, and said.
“It’s none of your concern. I want to see the Liu family’s daughter-in-law, stop and you’ll pay with your life.”
Li Xiaobai said coldly, his gaze subtly drifting towards Baihe Boy, clearly hinting that if anyone dared to obstruct, the Great God White Crane would comnce a slaughter.
“You mustn’t, sir. Black and White Impermanence will arrive shortly, it’s best not to create more troubles. The Liu family’s daughter-in-law is indeed severely ill. I’ve seen it myself. If she’s unfit today, maybe another day?”
Liu Dalang looked at Granny Liu and asked.
“Of course, I said earlier, you may visit tomorrow. But these two Supre Deities refuse to listen, so I had no choice but to invite Lord Liu and Black and White Impermanence to uphold justice.”
Granny Liu nodded, particularly emphasizing the words Black and White Impermanence, an apparent threat, indicating that while she couldn’t deal with them, Black and White Impermanence could.
If they dared to force their way in today, the King of Underworld would definitely take action.
“Even Black and White Impermanence are coming?”
“What a spectacle! My Great God White Crane is even more curious about what is hidden within Liu Residence that warrants such high-ranking individuals to offer protection?”
“Why not just let us see today? Perhaps we could also beco a force protecting the Liu family in the future.”
Li Xiaobai chuckled.
Within the Netherworld, Baihe Boy was suprely powerful, and even Black and White Impermanence were not intimidating. By aligning with such power, he could ensure his safety.
“There’s no protection, it’s all for the good of the common people.”
A sharp female voice ca from outside the door.
Two figures, one black and one white, floated into the hall, standing with arms folded.
A man and a woman, one black and one white — it was indeed Black and White Impermanence. They scrutinized each other, the two sharing similar attire, differing only in color; the man’s garb was black, the woman’s white. Both wore tall hats, faces pale, their eyes cautiously scanning Baihe Boy.
They didn’t know Li Xiaobai, but Baihe Boy was undeniably genuine. With this deity of slaughter here, it wasn’t a day to pick a fight.
“May I ask this young man’s na?”
“I don’t believe we’ve t?”
Black Impermanence asked Li Xiaobai in a soft voice.
“I am Li Xiaobai, the right-hand man of the Great God White Crane. Granny Liu sought my lord not long ago to eliminate demons from Liu Residence. Today, we ca to et the Liu family’s daughter-in-law. If you truly care for the people, grant us passage to see the truth.”
Li Xiaobai took a sip of tea, unfazed as he spoke.
The situation was tricky, with more people getting involved, and that wasn’t good.
“Ah, Young Master Li, a pleasure to et you.”
Black Impermanence nodded, saying the perfunctory words, and discreetly flipping through an ancient to behind his back, on which three characters were inscribed: The Book of Life and Death!
Recorded within are the births and backgrounds of all people, allowing him to discern exactly who this Li Xiaobai was through it.
But as he flipped through it, his expression gradually changed.
The Book of Life and Death held no record of Li Xiaobai’s na!
