Chapter 143 Law Enforcement Hall
Two young men suddenly appeared in front of the solemn and imposing gate of the Hall of Law Enforcement. One of them was slightly older, but he was half a body length behind the other.
The young man in front was quite handsome, but he seemed a bit frivolous, which ruined the overall impression and instead gave him a somewhat sinister air.
"Young Master, I wonder if Uncle Yan is back yet. Is it really appropriate for us to just go in like this?"
Clearly, the two people standing in front of the gate were Bai Ke and A Can, who had been in Hundred Flowers Valley earlier.
Ah-Can looked at the stone statue of Bi'an hanging above the tightly closed door of the Enforcement Hall with some worry, and nervously said to Bai Ke.
To be honest, although Bai Yan still holds absolute power in the Enforcement Hall, and the place he chose for seclusion is on the cliff behind the Enforcement Hall.
But Bai Ke is now starting his own business outside of his father's protection, and Bai Yan is no longer involved in things.
Therefore, it was actually somewhat inappropriate for the two of them, master and servant, to just walk in so casually.
Furthermore, what kind of place is the Hall of Enforcement? Disciples and elders generally want to stay far away from it unless there's something absolutely necessary, so why would they want to come here for fun?
When Bai Ke grew up, he insisted on leaving on his own because he couldn't stand the cold and impersonal environment inside the Enforcement Hall.
But now... Bai Ke narrowed his eyes and smiled. The new head of the Enforcement Hall, Murong Yuanyang, was openly standing on his side in the sect's main hall. What could be wrong with that?
In other people's eyes, Murong Yuanyang is probably already on his side. Since that's what they think, why should Bai Ke pretend to avoid suspicion?
Concern about the impact is not his style; he wants to be high-profile and let everyone know about his relationship with the Enforcement Hall.
In this way, we won't have to be so constrained when doing certain things, like right now?
Bai Ke squinted as he watched the previously tightly closed doors of the Enforcement Hall slowly open, and a man whose age was impossible to discern strode out.
He bowed to Bai Ke from afar and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother Bai. Elder Bai and Elder Murong have been waiting for a long time. Please follow me."
Bai Ke smiled slightly, cupped his hands in greeting, and asked, "May I ask, junior brother, when did Elder Bai and Elder Murong return?"
The man was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Bai Ke to ask such a question. However, having served important figures for a long time, he quickly recovered and bowed, saying:
"Reporting to Senior Brother Bai, Elder Murong has been back for about two hours, but we do not know when Elder Bai will return."
Although Murong Yuanyang has been promoted to the new head elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, his disciples still can't get used to calling him elder.
"Hmm? Elder Bai didn't return with Elder Murong? Didn't any of you see him?" Bai Ke asked, frowning.
Due to its special function, the Enforcement Hall is patrolled and guarded by a small team of inner disciples year-round.
The male disciple, thinking that Bai Ke was questioning their dereliction of duty, said somewhat fearfully, "Senior Brother Bai, please forgive us. Elder Bai is so elusive; how could we possibly find him?"
Without getting entangled with the disciple any longer, Bai Ke pondered for a while before waving his hand to indicate that it was alright and asking him to continue leading the way.
After Bai Ke interrupted him, the disciple who had originally wanted to show off and win the chief's favor stopped talking to him and simply led the way in silence.
As for the Enforcement Hall, Bai Ke, who had grown up there, obviously didn't need anyone to guide him. However, since this disciple was eager to show off, Bai Ke let him be.
Ah-Can had already voluntarily withdrawn when this disciple appeared, just like he had done before in the Foreign Affairs Hall, and found a place to rest on his own.
The elders invited me, and it was a joint invitation from Uncle Yan and Elder Murong, so it must be something important. I won't go and join in the fun.
Even though Bai Ke and his son didn't care, he still deliberately followed the rules for servants so that people wouldn't say that he and his son were not well-behaved.
The journey was silent. Bai Ke pondered why his father hadn't returned with Murong Yuanyang, and why the two of them had invited him together.
Soon, the two reached the cliff behind the Hall of Law Enforcement. The disciple stopped and gestured for Bai Ke to go ahead on his own, then quickly left as if avoiding a plague.
Bai Ke glanced at the man's departing figure, muttered a few words, and then casually walked forward.
What's there to worry about? My dad's still around, what could possibly happen to me on his turf?
Bai Ke casually crossed the grassy area behind the law enforcement hall, and soon several thatched huts appeared before him.
Clearly, several of the houses had been uninhabited for a long time. Although they didn't look particularly special from the outside, it was quite obvious that there was no sign of any living activity inside.
Bai Ke was so certain because these thatched huts were where he lived when he was a child.
Back then, Bai Ke's mother was still alive, and Bai Yan was not as cold and taciturn as he is now. The three of them, along with their adopted son A Can, lived together in a hut here.
Since Bai Ke's mother passed away, Bai Yan has become increasingly silent. After that, Bai Ke and A Can moved away from here, and this is the first time in many years that they have returned.
Without a second thought, Bai Ke took a deep look at the thatched hut in front of him and continued flying forward. He could sense two powerful auras not far ahead.
"Hmm? Senior Brother Bai, I think Nephew Bai Ke's cultivation is far more than what he showed in the hall before. This flying speed is not something that a cultivator who has just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage can achieve."
Murong Yuanyang, dressed in a purple brocade robe, suddenly opened his eyes in the thatched hut. A dazzling light suddenly shone in the originally dark room, then disappeared in a flash.
Bai Yan didn't speak, but just nodded silently, as if he was thinking about something. Even when Murong Yuanyang praised his son in front of him, he didn't make any special gesture.
Murong Yuanyang, clearly accustomed to Bai Yan's mannerisms, showed no discomfort, merely chuckling to himself.
"Brother Yan, don't worry about that. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. It's not a big deal."
Besides, Bai Ke's cultivation and combat strength are undeniable; what is there to worry about? In my opinion, it's that old bastard Xing Jian who should be feeling the pinch.”
As he spoke, he seemed to think of something funny, and his eyes narrowed, making him look like a fox stealing a hen.
"Haha, speaking of this, I just remember the old bastard's expression when the sect leader set the rules for the Holy Son selection. Hahaha, that was so damn satisfying!"
