Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 646 Dragon Boat Festival is coming

"No." Only someone who has lost their mind would let this man in.

After all, none of the secret realms this guy entered had a good ending.

The vast underworld has been turned into a battlefield, so it's best to forget about the Purple Bamboo Grove when there's no Bodhisattva's protection.

Moreover, she always felt that Xu Xuan's entry might trigger something incredible.

There are guardian deities in the secret realm, and even the koi in the dried-up pond have disappeared.

Strange marks were wrapped around some of the items left by the Bodhisattva, which sometimes made her feel uneasy.

The blessed land is already on the verge of collapse; let's not make things worse. If we release any troublesome monsters, it will be difficult to clean up the mess.

So they abruptly changed the subject.

"The Dragon Boat Festival is almost here."

This topic is indeed worth discussing, as snakes are at their weakest on this day.

As the saying goes, calamus resembles a sword, and mugwort a flag. Realgar wine, strong and wicked, drives away pests; let us raise our cups to celebrate this festive occasion. The interplay of elements in nature will be especially intense.

Even a snake demon that has been around for years can be affected by the atmosphere, becoming restless and easily losing control of its soul.

For the past two years, Bai Suzhen had been in seclusion at the bottom of the lake, passing the time easily. I don't know why she brought it up deliberately this year.

"Recently... you've gotten into quite a bit of trouble." What a tactful way of putting it, the tone so gentle it felt like a spring breeze.

The two hall masters exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves, "It's not so bad... it's just that..." They mentally drew up a long list, growing more and more silent as they went along it. The list consisted of well-known experts; nobodies were not worthy of being on it.

Each name represents a grudge, recorded whether actively or passively.

He then guiltily ended the eye contact.

The main reason was that the enemy suffered from underestimating them in the previous two years. At that time, neither Xu Xuan nor Baoan Hall were well-known figures or forces.

Even someone as strong as Lu Pan was killed on the spot due to lack of preparation, leaving no trace of his soul. It can be described as both environmentally friendly and safe.

This year's enemies are not only powerful, but also increasingly treacherous, with many still active and causing considerable trouble.

Black Mountain, Long Eyebrows, Lord of Clouds, and Yin-Yang Dharma King are all very difficult to kill.

"It's my fault, it's my fault, I'm still not strong enough." Xiaoqing was the first to admit her mistake. She had powerful backers and was in charge of Baoan Hall, so she had resources, experience, and magical treasures, but she still fell behind in cultivation.

His lack of outstanding performance in subsequent battles left the leader unable to hold the line alone, causing the situation to deteriorate.

"No, no, no, it's all my fault. I underestimated the heroes of the world. I didn't have a contingency plan for those at higher levels of cultivation," the Holy Father also admitted.

If we were more careful and learned more, we might have been able to kill the enemy ahead of time.

The two were being modest in a somewhat peculiar way, but their attitude was still sincere.

Bai Suzhen interrupted the interaction between the two after watching for a while, as their conversation went more and more off-topic.

This is to tell you not to let your guard down. Karma is hard to erase, and calamities are ever-present. There will come a day when my own power will be at its lowest, and if anything happens, I may not be able to protect you.

Xu Xuan immediately said no problem. Although the Dragon Boat Festival was the weakest time for Baoan Hall, he had already made preparations.

Although there are many reports of evil spirits and heretics dying tragically in the Jiangnan region, the area around Qiantang is still extremely safe.

The mountain spirits and demons within a radius of several hundred miles were either recruited or exorcised, and all sorts of kings were killed.

Qing was dispatched to Yizhou partly because of this unstable factor, after all, Bai Suzhen was also involved in the blood feud. This shows that someone is quite self-aware. Meanwhile, Yu Gong, who remained here, owed a favor because of the crooked tree incident, making him easier to communicate with.

With two major cultural heritage sites guarding it, looking back now, it really took a lot of courage to run wild in Qiantang.

With so many arrangements made, someone naturally became somewhat arrogant.

"Do you need protection during the Dragon Boat Festival?" This is a very bold question, and someone's self-awareness has been tragically cut short.

As the words left his mouth, Xu Xuan felt that he had finally stood up and was no longer a gigolo who lived off women!
He's a total gigolo!
Xiaoqing looked over in shock, her neck twisting at a terrifying angle. She simply couldn't believe this guy was so audacious as to go to Donghai County to drink fake alcohol.

Even if my sister is extremely weak, she can still kill ten of you with one swipe of her tail and still have room to spare. Do you understand what it means to be so powerful that there is no way to advance further?

Could it be that today is the day I, Xiaoqing, am crowned the true leader of the hall?
What neither of them expected was that Bai Suzhen fell silent.

When those clear, bright eyes looked at Xu Xuan, there was a gentleness in them, as if they had let go of some knots in their hearts and become even more pure and holy.

"Hanwen, you are a good person."

"Just protect Xiaoqing."

Xu Qing had two questions at the same time.

Xu Xuan was thinking: Did I just get a "good guy" card? Does the White Snake even know what a "good guy" card is? Or is she just planting a flag for me?
Xiaoqing was thinking: In previous years, I would go back to West Lake to spend the Dragon Boat Festival with my sister. It seems like this year... she doesn't want me anymore? That's too sudden!
The Father sensed something was amiss and keenly noticed the anomaly.

"Miss Bai, if you encounter any difficulties, please tell me. Xiaoqing will worry about you." She decisively used her little demon's feelings to give her a nudge.

Xiaoqing nodded in agreement. Although she hadn't quite grasped the concept yet, she was certain that her cooperation was correct.

Bai Suzhen was somewhat speechless. With a flick of her sleeve, ripples suddenly appeared on the lake's surface.

"Wow--"

The two guys were thrown out of West Lake, and they still had bewildered expressions when they landed.

"What amazing water control techniques! I was surrounded by pure land, so I should be immune to water and fire. Who would have thought that the pure land would be washed out as well?"

"Unfathomable, utterly unfathomable."

Upon landing, Xu Xuan shook the water out of his head and suddenly realized that he was still that gigolo who lived off women.

The more one cultivates, the more one can feel the indescribable gap; the sense of oppression is far stronger than that of the likes of Long-Eyebrowed Black Mountain.

Did this woman become an immortal?
He stomped his foot, sighed, and spread his hands, then led Xiaoqing back to Baoan Hall.

"Meeting time! I've come up with a dozen or so ideas, let's take a look."

Based on inferences, given its inherent characteristics and entangled causal relationships, the probability of nothing going wrong during the Dragon Boat Festival is rather small.

Coupled with Miss Bai's unusual behavior today, it all points to a new storm brewing. Xu, who no longer expects peaceful days, is frantically layering armor.

So, on the surface, Baoan Hall quietly awaited the arrival of the Dragon Boat Festival and even held a free clinic themed around the five poisonous creatures. Secretly, however, they were frantically mobilizing manpower, keeping a watchful eye on all sides.

After Xu Xuan left, Bai Suzhen began to do her own thing.

In the bamboo forest, she deduced a good method using the principle of non-duality, and decided to test it during the Dragon Boat Festival.

This is a common occurrence for a spiritual practitioner, and she was confident that nothing bad would happen.

But Hanwen's words made her hesitate, and she finally said quietly, "Love tribulations really do harm people a lot."
