Chapter 575 Baili Zhenhua
Lu Yichen explained, "Now is the Dharma Ending Age, there is a lack of spiritual energy, and the resources for cultivation are even more pitifully scarce. All the major secluded families have come to Changbai Mountain to live in seclusion, simply because there is more spiritual energy here. But it is not that easy to get resources for cultivation."

"The exchange conference held by the special department every three years is their way of obtaining resources. The Baili family mainly studies witchcraft, and they also need a lot of spiritual tools to assist them."

After listening to Lu Yichen's explanation, Zhong Nianyao nodded in understanding, then covered her mouth with her hands and smiled, and said jokingly, "In this case, you are also their financial sponsor. No wonder you have such an attitude."

Lu Yichen reached out his hand and gently tapped Zhong Nianyao's forehead, then said with a smile, "Your Chinese level is really not that good! Do you think this description is appropriate?"

"I think it's great!" Zhong Nianyao blinked and said with a smile, "Aren't you their financial sponsor?"

For a moment, Lu Yichen didn't know how to answer. He could only shake his head with a smile and said nothing more.

At this time, a servant came to serve tea and snacks. Following closely came the old man and another middle-aged man, who should be the uncle mentioned by the old man.

"I wonder what you two should call each other?"

Baili Zhenhua, the eldest son of the current team leader Baili Hengyuan and the eldest uncle of the Baili family, bowed to the two of them and said, "I am Baili Zhenhua from the Baili family. I am very happy to meet you two."

Lu Yichen didn't even bother to stand up. He raised his eyes, glanced at Baili Zhenhua calmly, and said, "My last name is Lu, and this is my fiancée, whose last name is Zhong."

After hearing the surname Zhong, Baili Zhenhua's eyes flashed with coldness, frowned, and said hesitantly, "The surname is Zhong, it is——"

"Is there any problem?" Zhong Nianyao naturally noticed Baili Zhenhua's strangeness. She did not stand up, but sat there with one hand on her chin, looking extremely lazy. "Master Baili, do you have any opinion on my last name? Or do you know anyone with the last name Zhong?"

It seems that the Baili family is really the place she is looking for, but she doesn't know what happened between Zhong Mingxin and Baili Leyao. It can be seen that the people of the Baili family should be very repulsive to Zhong Mingxin, and even have an innate vigilance against people with the surname Zhong.

"No." Baili Zhenhua denied it subconsciously, but then he realized that his reaction seemed a bit exaggerated, so he quickly said, "It's just that I knew a person named Zhong before, and I had some unpleasant experiences with him."

Zhong Nianyao nodded, then smiled and said, "It seems that this contradiction is quite deep! Now, even hearing the word "Zhong" has such a big reaction."

Baili Zhenhua wanted to explain, but then he thought about it and felt that there was nothing to explain, so he changed the subject directly, "Mr. Lu, Ms. Zhong, you two are just here, why don't you go and have a rest first! After you have rested, we can talk about this exchange meeting."

Zhong Nianyao nodded and didn't ask any more questions. It was as if she was just curious for a moment and there was no special meaning.

Lu Yichen did not object either.

Baili Zhenhua asked Butler Bai, the old man just now, to take Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao to the guest room to rest first.

Along the way, Butler Bai introduced various places in the courtyard to Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao.

In the corridor, Zhong Nianyao found a room not far away that was faintly emitting a trace of spiritual energy. It can be seen that the spiritual energy in that room is stronger than other places. "Where is it--" Zhong Nianyao adhered to the principle of asking if you don't understand, and did not beat around the bush, and asked directly.

Butler Bai looked in the direction of Zhong Nianyao's finger, then his face changed and he spoke directly, "That's our young lady's room. Our young lady's health is not very good and she has been bedridden. She will not go out unless there is something special."

"Oh, really?" Zhong Nianyao nodded, and then changed the subject, "We are here now, so why don't we go over and say hello! After all, we are guests, so it's only right for us to go and visit."

"This..." Butler Bai's face showed a trace of difficulty, and then he said, "You two, our young lady is in poor health and needs to rest, so she doesn't want anyone to disturb her. Therefore, I'm sorry that I can't take you to see our young lady."

"It's okay." Zhong Nianyao shook her head and said indifferently, "Since it's inconvenient, forget it."

It looked as if the words just now were just casually said.

Butler Bai did not see anything unusual on Zhong Nian Yao's face. After heaving a long sigh of relief, he took Lu Yichen and Zhong Nian Yao and continued walking towards the guest rooms.

Along the way, Zhong Nianyao held Lu Yichen's hand and looked around at the surrounding scenery, seeming to be very interested.

Because they knew that Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao were engaged, the Baili Family arranged for them to stay in the same room. However, like a suite, there were two rooms inside.

Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao had no objection to this.

On the other side, after leaving the reception room, Baili Zhenhua went directly to the study, where he saw his father Baili Hengyuan fortune-telling.

Although he noticed Baili Zhenhua coming in, he could not allow divination to be interrupted midway, so he did not even raise his head and continued with what he was doing.

After looking at the copper coin, his originally calm emotions were immediately stirred up. Without any warning, he stood up suddenly, his eyes widened, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"Father, what's going on?"

Seeing Baili Hengyuan's actions, Baili Zhenhua was shocked. He quickly stepped forward and asked with concern, "Did something happen?"

As he spoke, he looked at the hexagram on the table. However, because he didn't know what his father was counting, he couldn't figure it out.

Baili Hengyuan tried hard to calm himself down, and then he slowly sat down, with a hint of excitement in his tone, "I was helping your little sister with that divination just now."

After listening to Baili Hengyuan's words, Baili Zhenhua looked at the hexagram again, and then couldn't help frowning, "Father, I think this hexagram doesn't seem to be very good, why do you--"
