“We are members of the Shen Family from Chunhua City. May we know who you folks are?” Shen Huayuan replied loudly.
The man with the scar did not answer Shen Huayuan’s question. He scanned the Shen Family members and quickly set his eyes on Shen Luo. His expression changed slightly as he gave a long distance bow.
Shen Luo returned the gesture with a fist-and-palm salute.
Shen Huayuan, who was initially furious about being ignored, saw the silent exchange between Shen Luo and the scar-faced man. He vaguely guessed something and naturally didn’t flare up again.
The scar-faced man inspected the surroundings again, turned around and consulted with the people behind him. Then, he spoke, “We are from the Bai and Lin Family of Jianye City. We have been fleeing all the way here from Jianye City. We’re honestly quite fatigued and would appreciate if we could rest here for a bit. Would that be possible?”
“Daoist friend, you’re being too polite. This place doesn’t belong to us either. Please feel free to do as you wish.” Before the people of the Shen family could hesitate, Shen Luo had already spoken up.
“Thank you.” The scar-faced man thanked them, then turned around to arrange for his people to rest and prepare meals.
Some of the people from the Shen Family were reluctant, but because Shen Luo had already spoken, they didn’t say anything.
“The Bai Family? You mean the demon exorcising Bai Family from Jianye City?” Shen Huayuan watched as the members of the Bai and Lin Family busied themselves, suddenly asking.
“Shouldn’t be, what are the odds?” A monk of the Shen family shook his head nearby.
“Elder Shen, what do you think?” Shen Huayuan turned to Shen Luo who was standing nearby, then suddenly froze.
This was because Shen Luo, who was just standing next to him, had disappeared.
“Over there.” Shen Yu raised his hand and pointed in a specific direction.
At this time, Shen Luo had arrived at the location where the Bai and Lin Families had settled down. Upon seeing him, the scar-faced man and a young woman dressed in green came out to greet him.
The young woman was pretty and elegantly shaped. However, her brows, straight as a knife’s blade, gave her a rather arrogant demeanor. Like the scar-faced man, she was also a cultivator at the Soul Condensation stage.
“Thank you for allowing us to rest here.” The scar-faced man was very humble, bowing his hand in salutation.
“This place doesn’t belong to them. Bai Daoist, why do you need to be so polite?” The green-robed young woman glanced at Shen Luo and the Shen family group in the distance, her eyes flashing with disdain. She spoke in a condescending manner, like an elite looking down upon peasants.
“”Lin Daoist, why would you speak in such a manner? This place was found by Daoist Shen Luo and his group first. If we want to rest here, we naturally need to seek their permission. This is the correct etiquette.” The scar-faced man frowned slightly, and chided in a mild tone.
Appearing somewhat afraid of the scar-faced man, the young woman dressed in green clothes sulkily hummed, but didn’t say anything further.
“We are all displaced by circumstances, why mind these small matters? I am Shen Luo. May I ask for the names of you two Daoist friends?” Shen Luo gave a slight smile and asked.
“I am Bai Bi, and this is Lin Hanyue.” The scar-faced man introduced.
“So it’s Bai Daoist and Lin Daoist. We intended to seek refuge in Jianye City, but discovered it besieged by monsters and hastily left. Since you two are from Jianye, may I ask for the current situation there?” Shen Luo asked again.
Upon hearing this, a glint of sorrow flickered in Bai Bi’s eyes, and Lin Hanyue’s expression turned clouded.
“Sigh, I’m afraid there’s no more Jianye City in this world from now onwards.” Bai Bi looked up at the sky with a long sigh, speaking mournfully.
“Who would have thought, the once glorious ancient capital of six dynasties, would perish under the hands of monsters.” Upon hearing the news, Shen Luo understood the fate of Jianye City and felt a pang of regret.
“Daoist Brother Shen, where do you plan to head next?” Bai Bi, not wanting to talk more about the matter, initiated the question.
“Nowadays, the world is plagued by monsters. Jianye City has fallen and we fear that the same has happened to other cities. Currently, the only place deemed safe is Chang’an City, which is where we plan to go.” Shen Luo replied.
“We’re also headed there. Since we’ve met here, it must be fate. How about we travel together?” Bai Bi invited with a cheerful tone.
“Travel with them? Daoist Bai, there’s no need for that. Most members of the Shen family are mere mortals. If anything happens, they’ll definitely slow us down.” Lin Hanyue frowned and couldn’t help but interrupt.
“All of us are travelling in carriages. We all progress at the same speed. How would they slow us down? With Daoist Shen joining us, our collective strength would increase, making the journey much safer.” Bai Bi countered.
“Whatever, just don’t drag us down then.” Lin Hanyue glanced at Shen Luo with a look of disdain and said.
Shen Luo wasn’t against this proposal. As Bai Bi had said, everyone was traveling in carriages at roughly the same speed. Travelling together with the Bai and Lin families would not slow them down, and it would indeed be safer. It would also free him up to devote more time to his cultivation. However, he didn’t agree to this proposed arrangement right away.
“Although I am temporarily travelling with the Shen family, I am not the decision maker. Perhaps Bai Daoist should ask their clan leader.” Shen Luo said, turning his gaze towards Shen Huasheng and beckoning him over.

Bai Bi was somewhat surprised when he saw Shen Luo’s actions.
“Elder Shen, Two Elders.” Seeing Shen Luo beckoning, Shen Huasheng hurried over.
Despite realising that Shen Huasheng was a Qi Refining cultivator, Bai Bi did not look at him with disdain. Instead, he repeated the proposal from before.
“These two represent the heads of the famous demon exorcising Bai and Lin families of Jianye City,” Shen Luo interjected, singling out the identity of the Bai and Lin families.
“No problem, travelling with the families of two elders is an honour for our Shen Family.” Upon hearing Shen Luo’s words, Shen Huasheng’s eyes flashed with excitement as he immediately agreed.
“That’s great.” Bai Bi said, smiling, and moved his gaze away from Shen Huayuan.
Wisely taking his leave, Shen Huayuan returned to the group and relayed the content of the conversation, as well as the identity of the two families.
Upon hearing this, everyone from the Shen Family rejoiced. Shen Yu looked at the distant Shen Luo, her eyes shinning even brighter.
“Daoist Shen, you especially came over not just to chat with us. If there is something you need, feel free to share,” Bai Bi said with a chuckle, after Shen Huayuan had left.
He initially thought Shen Luo was the head of the Shen Family, but from the recent developments, it seemed that was not the case. Considering Shen Luo had given permission to their families to stay here before, Bai Bi suspected there was a deeper reason.
“Bai Daoist, you are indeed straightforward. Actually, there is something I’d like to inquire about. Do you have any talisman paper and talisman ink in your possession? Common yellow and green talisman paper and ordinary talisman ink will suffice, and the more the better,” Shen Luo laughed lightly and asked.
At present, the talisman paper and talisman ink stored in his Seven Star Talisman Pen Space were nearly used up. There were only a few Small Thunder Talismans left. The journey to Chang’an City was fraught with unpredictable dangers. He urgently needed to replenish his supplies.
“Hehe, I didn’t expect Daoist Shen to be proficient in the art of talismans. My Bai family has quite a few talisman masters. Please wait a moment, and I’ll enquiry for you,” Bai Bi heartily replied. Turning around, he walked toward the group of monks from the Bai Family.
Lin Hanyue’s face revealed a trace of impatience. She turned around and walked toward the Lin family carriages, apparently not interested in interacting with a freelance cultivator like Shen Luo.
