After returning from my cultivation journey, I built a farm through fortune telling.

Chapter 168

She said to Bai Chen and Bai Wei, "You two take the old man home first—Bai Chen, you and the old man can share a room."

"Okay, sir, let's get off the bus."

Bai Chen nodded, got out of the car and opened the door for Old Master Xu—actually, it wasn't necessary, as Old Master Xu would get carried away, but to show respect, this sense of ceremony was still necessary.

"Aren't you going home?" Bai Wei asked Bai Lu.

"I need to have a good talk with the dogs!"

With that, he rolled up his sleeves, opened the car door, and jumped out.

Of all the dogs, the neighbor's big black dog barked the most fiercely, and it was also the first to notice that Grandpa Xu was this "ghost."

"Sis! Talk to Xiao Hei nicely, don't beat him up!"

Seeing her sister's aggressive demeanor, Bai Wei smiled and said...

Egret: "Don't worry! I can't beat it to death!"

Before he could even reach Xiao Hei, Old Master Xu was sent flying. If it weren't for his ghostly power, he would have been half-dead or severely injured. His face was deathly pale as he said, "Young friend Bai, the ghost-exorcising array you set up at home is quite impressive..."

She was indeed a cultured scholar; even though she was injured so badly, she didn't blame Bailu at all. She hurriedly ran back, saying, "I'm so sorry, so sorry! Look at my brain, I completely forgot!"

Since the formation was set up, it has never been triggered, nor has it affected anyone's travel. The three siblings, Bai Lu, had no idea about it!

The egret quickly deactivated the formation.

This time, even Grandpa Xu became more cautious. He carefully poked one foot into the yard, waited for three seconds, and only entered with peace of mind after seeing that nothing was wrong.

Bai Chen: "Old Master Xu has already gone in. Do we still need to open our formation?" "We can't!" Bai Lu shook her head: "He was seriously injured just trying to break through the formation. If he were inside, he would definitely be strangled. Either he would die or the formation would break."

As she spoke, Bai Lu's eyes lit up—that was a good idea. If Old Master Xu showed any interest in her house, she could immediately activate the formation and fight to the death.

To put it bluntly, Bailu has some respect for Grandpa Xu, but not much. After all, they've only known each other for a few days. She can only deduce his character from his personality and actions, nothing more.

As for why he dared to bring her home, there are many reasons, but the main one is that while Grandpa Xu can pose a threat to others, he cannot to her.

Bai Chen and Bai Wei led Old Master Xu upstairs without disturbing Bai Jiang and Qin Xiu. Bai Lu walked up to Xiao Hei, her face stern: "Still barking? Still barking! In the middle of the night, you're disturbing the neighbors, don't you know that!"

"Woof woof woof—"

Little Black barked even louder: "You idiot, do you even know your house is haunted?!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, they're our own people, not those bad guys!"

"Woof woof?" Really?
"Really." The egret nodded. "Why don't you tell your brothers to stop squawking? Otherwise, the whole village will get up and beat you up!"

"We told them to get up and run for their lives, and they still beat us up? Being a dog is really tough! Being a human is tough too, they can't even understand dog language—wait, why can you understand dog language?"

After barking wildly at the egret, Xiao Hei tilted its head and looked at the egret, belatedly realizing that the two of them had communicated without any problems.

The egret has never interacted with any animals other than her own. Even though Little Black often comes to her house, she will at most call out to it "Little Black" or ask it to come over and gnaw on some bones. She can understand its little mutterings, such as, "Today's food is not as good as yesterday's."

But she had never spoken to it like she did today.
