"These two wrist guards have been wiped repeatedly, so they're very clean." Long Chen looked at the wristband and said.
"Long Chen, what exactly is going on? Hurry up and say it! Seeing Long Chen suddenly bring up something else, Bai Shishi couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.
Long Chen looked at the wristband and continued, "Every rune gap inside the wristband has been wiped clean, leaving no dead corners behind..."
"Long Chen, if you keep keeping me in suspense, I'll get mad." Bai Shishi said in frustration.
Long Chen ignored her and continued to look at the wristband, saying, "But no matter how he wipes it, even using special fragrances, it still can't hide its bloody scent." "
The scent of blood?" Bai Shishi was shocked and reached out to pick up the other wristband.
The moment she grabbed the wristband, all the runes on it lit up, and the fluctuations of the golden power became intense. But Bai Shishi ignored the fluctuations, her big eyes carefully examining every rune on them.
"Liar, there's no aura at all." Bai Shishi shot Long Chen a look.
Long Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know what method the Deputy Hall Master used to hide the fluctuations, so you couldn't detect it."
From the moment I stepped into the cultivation world, I fought through bloody storms and storms. He could fool you, but he couldn't fool me.
This wristband had been stained with the Hall Master's blood. Judging from the marks from the thorough wiping, it indicated that too much blood had infiltrated the bracer and was difficult to clean.
These pair of wrist guards are sacred artifacts; even the essence blood of a saint would find it difficult to penetrate them, unless ..."
"Unless what?" Bai Shishi said nervously.
"Unless at that time, when the Hall Master was on the brink of death, his powerful will to survive allowed his essence blood to tap into its last potential, which is why it invaded these bracers." Long Chen said.
"Long Chen, is everything you said true? Are you sure you're not lying to me? You're not making up stories to persuade us to reconcile, right? Bai Shishi looked at Long Chen and said in a trembling voice.
"I won't lie to the woman I love." Long Chen looked at Bai Shishi and spoke with deep affection.
"Long Chen..."
Hearing Long Chen say this, Bai Shishi burst into tears and collapsed into Long Chen's arms, like a child who had endlessly suffered grievances. Finally, she found an outlet and burst into tears.
Long Chen didn't offer words of comfort or persuasion; instead, he quietly held her, letting her cry her heart out.
"Long Chen, what should I do? What should I do?" Bai Shishi lay in Long Chen's arms, choking back tears.
"What should we do?" Long Chen asked.
Bai Shishi cried, "Since I was little, I never understood why my mother would marry a man at the same time as someone else. I looked down on my mother, and also looked down on him.
But now, I've followed my mother's path, and even more broadly than they did... Hearing
the words "wider," Long Chen almost burst out laughing, but he struggled to hold it in. If he laughed now, Bai Shishi would definitely be even sadder and angrier. But how did she come up with that word? It was unbearable.
"I don't dare face him right now. I'm afraid he'll laugh at me, afraid he'll look down on me, but he's like this—what should I do? What should I do? Bai Shishi broke down in tears.
Only then did Long Chen realize that Bai Shishi's pride made her unable to face her father. After all, she valued faithfulness to the end, and now she had become one of his many confidants.
Of course, Bai Zhantang was annoyed by him, because such a strong-willed daughter had actually been subdued by this kid. Bai Zhantang's face was slapped hard with a bang—no matter who it was, they wouldn't treat Long Chen kindly.
Because of Long Chen, Bai Shishi couldn't face her father. After all, she was so proud back then, which was like a harsh slap in her own face.
"It's all your fault!"
Bai Shishi's fists pounded Long Chen's chest wildly, both shy and annoyed.
"It's indeed my fault. How about this: I'll only marry you." Long Chen gritted his teeth and said.
"How dare you?" Bai Shishi was shocked.
But when she saw Long Chen's mischievous grin, she knew he was teasing her on purpose. Bai Shishi felt even more ashamed and threw a few more punches at Long Chen.
"What are you laughing at? Come up with a solution! What should I do?" Bai Shishi said in distress, "
He almost risked his life just to give me a gift, and I still treated him like that. He must be heartbroken."
Eventually, Bai Shishi broke down in tears again. Putting herself in her shoes, if she were Bai Zhantang, her heart would be completely shattered.
"It's fine, leave this to me. I'll handle it." Long Chen said with a smile.
"How do you handle it?" Bai Shishi wiped the tears from her face, her big eyes full of questions.
"Whatever I do, don't worry about it. I have my way, so you just need to behave. Leave the rest to me. Do you trust me?" Long Chen comforted her.
"If I don't trust you, who else can I trust?" Bai Shishi shot Long Chen a look.
"Come, let me put these wrist guards on you. Wow, these little hands are smooth and tender like frost and snow, even more comfortable to touch than silk..." Long Chen stroked Bai Shishi's hand, completely forgetting about wearing the wrist guards.
"You bad guy, I'm so annoying." Although Bai Shishi knew Long Chen was teasing her on purpose, she still felt deeply embarrassed and shook off his hand.
Long Chen smiled apologetically as he carefully put the wristband on Bai Shishi. When it was on her wrist, it automatically tightened, and the runes on it flowed rapidly, slowly seeping into her skin.
"The bracelet actually contains a set of metal-type cultivation techniques and divine abilities." Bai Shishi was shocked, countless runes surging into her body, and countless images appeared in her mind.
These pair of wristbands had an astonishing origin—they were a sect's heirloom treasure. Yet Bai Shishi had no idea how Bai Zhantang obtained them, Bai Shishi felt even more grateful and guilty toward her father.
"Long Chen, should I go apologize to him?" Bai Shishi hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said.
"Can you do it?" Long Chen asked.
Faced with Long Chen's question, Bai Shishi instantly felt as if a deflated balloon, the courage she had just mustered vanished without a trace.
"No need. I've already told you to handle this matter with me. I'll handle it for you." Long Chen spoke as he stood up.
"How do you handle it?" Bai Shishi said somewhat uneasily.
Long Chen patted the Dragon Bone Xie Yue behind him and said, "Problems between men are always resolved by force. I want to compete with him to decide the winner. If I win, his daughter will have to marry me." "
What if you lose?" Bai Shishi said nervously.
"Then I'll marry his daughter." Long Chen said with a sinister smile.
"Annoying, I'm talking seriously." Bai Shishi was both angry and anxious.
"Alright, I have my own method, but once I say it, it won't work. Stay here and wait for my good news. Be good!" Long Chen comforted her.
Listening to Long Chen coax her like a child, Bai Shishi felt her heart filled with sweetness. She had always been competitive, but now she felt cared for—so warm and reassuring.
Long Chen walked out of the room, stretched lazily, and said,
"Tch, I've seen every scene before. Watch me handle him."
After saying that, Long Chen headed straight to Bai Zhantang's residence.
