Who taught him to practice swordsmanship like this?

Su Baichen quietly entered the inner courtyard of the county government office. At first glance, he did not find anything unusual.

However, there is another sensation in my spiritual perception.

He sensed a malevolent spirit hiding in the inner courtyard, which must be the culprit.

He pushed open the door and entered the room, where he saw a ten-year-old boy staring ominously at the entrance, seemingly lost in thought.

There was no one around at the moment, and the servants in the inner quarters probably weren't too keen on facing this child.

Su Baichen concealed himself with an illusion and stepped forward. What he saw in his eyes and in his spiritual sense was an overlapping scene: the person in front of him had half a face of a ten-year-old child, and the other half a face of a gloomy face that was so exquisite that it was eerily strange.

Where did this ghost come from?

Su Baichen hesitated for a moment, then suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have learned any methods to deal with possessing ghosts.

He thought for a moment, and then a brilliant idea suddenly struck him.

He cast an illusion spell on Magistrate Guo's son.

This illusion is very simple and straightforward; it's about stimulating the child's senses and awakening his consciousness from its slumber.

His illusions can not only imprison a person's consciousness in a black cage, but also amplify their surrounding perception, making them more aware.

This can be considered a kind of illusion he came up with himself, and it can be considered quite ingenious.

The boy's spirits lifted, and the pure yang energy within his body was fully activated, causing the ghost to be ejected from his body.

Su Baichen was just about to unleash a burst of Xuan Yin sword energy to kill the ghost.

Surprisingly, it didn't linger at all and simply disappeared on the spot.

Su Baichen was somewhat surprised to see this. Just as he was about to chase after him, he saw the Guo family boy collapse... clearly weakened after the burst of yang energy.

He could only step forward and support him, channeling a wisp of pure yang energy into his dantian.

Once his complexion became rosy, he placed him on the bed and put him into a deep sleep.

Su Baichen quickly left the county government office, and then, sensing the trajectory of the departing spirit through his spiritual sense, he used the Wave-Stepping Technique to chase after it.

Fortunately, he could vaguely sense the direction, otherwise he would have been left behind in an instant.

Since he had promised Senior Brother Fenglinzi to help resolve the problems that had occurred in the county, he naturally had to do his job properly.

He ventured into the suburban forests and soon approached the location of the ghost.

To his surprise, the first thing he saw here was a narrow tree hole.

Inside the tree hollow was a small skeleton.

Its bones had been gnawed and broken by wild animals and were scattered in many places around.

The ghost lingered nearby, not dissipating.

Su Baichen immediately understood where the ghost came from.

"How could someone die here?"

The tree hole was extremely narrow, and Su Baichen, being of a large build, naturally couldn't fit inside.

He then pried open the tree hole a little and took out the bones inside.

It's a child's bone.

He sighed, thinking to himself that since he had already gotten the hang of it, he might as well consider it a good deed.

He thought for a moment, took out a wooden sword, and then gathered sword energy into the wooden sword... The next moment, he stabbed the sword into the ground, and opened up a square cave under the tree.

Su Baichen collected as many of the scattered bones as possible and buried them in the cave.

Cover it with soil, and a small mound is formed.

After doing all this, he casually picked a wildflower from the side and placed it on the mound.

Suddenly, a cold whirlwind circled around Su Baichen three times before dissipating.

Su Baichen looked around in surprise. He had originally felt pity and wanted to deal with the ghost after disposing of the remains, but he didn't expect that the ghost would dissipate on its own after he had just disposed of the remains.

He stood in front of the small mound for a while, and suddenly felt something: people are afraid of ghosts and demons, but in reality, ghosts and demons only want to be freed!

As soon as this thought crossed his mind, the sword energy within him became much gentler.

Sword cultivators in the world all like to hone their sword energy to be sharp and powerful, but Su Baichen felt that there was nothing wrong with gentle sword energy.

After a moment of contemplation, he continued into the mountains and forests, heading straight back to Xuanmiao Temple.

It's better if Magistrate Guo doesn't entertain him; Su Baichen can then enjoy his freedom.

However, just as he dealt with the lingering evil spirit, the strange behavior of the child in the inner courtyard of the county government office was finally discovered.

Magistrate Guo rushed into the inner courtyard in a great hurry to inquire about his son's condition.

A doctor was examining a patient nearby, and a beautiful woman was on the verge of tears.

Magistrate Guo, having had a son late in life, placed all his hopes on this child. He asked with concern, "Doctor, how is my son? Why is he suddenly sleeping soundly during the day?"

The doctor from Xianyou County was taking the young master's pulse when, after a long pause, he revealed a look of surprise and said, "Young master, your health is excellent! Even your yin deficiency from the other day has disappeared. This must be... you've met a benefactor!"

The beautiful woman immediately asked, "If you're so well, why did you suddenly fall into a deep sleep?"

The doctor replied, "Judging from the pulse, it's due to exhaustion. However, after I massage the Baihui point, he should wake up soon."

"Then I'll trouble the doctor to do it."

Magistrate Guo suppressed his anxiety and solemnly said.

The doctor then began massaging the Guo family's child to promote blood circulation and improve circulation.

Perhaps it was simply his time to wake up; he only groaned and slowly awoke moments later.

"My son, you're finally awake."

The woman happily pounced on her.

Magistrate Guo maintained his solemn composure, as if the sky were falling, but his expression was visibly much more relaxed.

But when Xiao Guo opened her eyes, she asked blankly, "Mom, Dad, where's my older sister?"

Magistrate Guo unexpectedly asked, "What young lady?"

Xiao Guo snapped out of his daze and said with a serious expression, "It's that young lady who brought me back."

"I got lost in the mountains the other day, but luckily I met a very pretty young lady who took my hand and helped me out of the mountains..."

In that instant, everyone present felt their hands and feet turn ice-cold and their hair stand on end.

But Xiao Guo wasn't finished: "The young lady has been staying home with me these past two days, how come she suddenly disappeared?"

Everyone was terrified upon hearing this, thinking that the young master must have been possessed by a ghost.

Magistrate Guo, however, possessed greater composure. He unusually set aside his carefully maintained air of authority and asked in a low voice, "My son, think carefully, where did that young woman go?"

After thinking carefully, Xiao Guo suddenly realized, "Oh, I saw a young man come by before I fell asleep. He had a warm smile and helped me get a good night's sleep."

"This must be the guy who picked up the girl."

Magistrate Guo's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "Do you remember what that young man looked like?"

Xiao Guo tried hard to recall and describe it.

But after hearing only half of it, Magistrate Guo already had the answer in his heart.

Su Baichen's image immediately appeared in his mind, and at the same time, he realized that this Baichenzi was truly skilled!

He calmly comforted his wife and children, thanked the doctor, and then had the servants cook a meal to entertain them.

He then hurriedly went to the front of the yamen and found Master Zhang.

"Mr. Zhang, where is Daoist Baichen?"

Master Zhang said with difficulty, "I don't know, the White Dust Taoist has disappeared without a trace."

"The students will arrange for someone to search for it."

Magistrate Guo immediately raised his hand to stop him: "No need. He is a truly extraordinary person. Prepare generous gifts for me; I want to pay him a visit in person."

Su Baichen, on the other hand, slept soundly through the night, completely unaware of what had happened in the county government office.
