Xu Xue Ning quickly agreed as if she had been awakened from a daydream. She led Bai Chen to the high-quality fur sofa beside the one her parents were sitting on.
“Bai Chen, please don’t think I’m being too forward, but what are you doing, where do you live, and who are your parents?”
Xu Jing Xie immediately threw out all these questions right after seeing Bai Chen and Xu Xue Ning sit down together on the sofa.
All of them were general questions that mothers usually asked their daughter’s boyfriends. She just wanted to be sure that he would be able to take good care of her daughter.
“My parents have already passed away. I was raised in London and have been working there since I graduated. And now I have gotten a chance to come back to China again.”
Bai Chen answered very naturally. Of course, everything was a lie.
It was the story that Xu Xue Ning had prepared for him just in case her parents asked, and he had actually gotten to tell it.
“I see.” Xu Jing Xie nodded. She deliberately scrutinised Bai Chen. She found that Bai Chen was not that good-looking, but he had good comportment; his face, in particular, gave off cool and composure.
He did not seem to feel pressured when talking to her and her husband, people from one of the five big families, and that was admirable enough.
“And how did you meet Xue Ning? When did you start dating?”
Now it was Xu Sin Xiao, Xu Xue Ning’s father, who was asking. He could see through people. Seeing Bai Chen’s unchanged facial expression and determined eyes, he knew right away that Bai Chen was telling the truth.
“One month ago.” Bai Chen spoke naturally. “I met her a month ago. We got to know each other and eventually decided to date after half a month.”
Of course, this was also a lie that Xu Xue Ning had made up.
“Hmm?”
Right after what he said, Bai Chen felt something shaking inside his dimension ring. It was the special item that he had gotten from his last random chance.
It was on the night before he’d travelled to He Ling beach on the field trip arranged by Xing Xian school, the very same night he’d murdered Chin Fei and his people.
This item was jade bracelet that appeared quite aged. It was described thusly.
---
[Low-grade mind-reflecting bracelet]
Description: The mind-reflecting bracelet is very well-known in the world of cultivators. By only keeping it at your side, it can reflect other’s psychic power, be it used to explore or to attack the mind of the wearer. Even legendary cultivators cannot escape from its mind-reflecting power. However, it is a shame that this mind-reflecting bracelet is incomplete. Therefore, it can only reflect a mind 3 times.
Grades of Special Items: Low, Medium, High, Supreme

When he’d first received it, he was not very happy because he did not think he would have a chance to use it. It was an item for cultivators anyway.
If cultivators did not use their psychic power against him, this jade mind-reflecting bracelet would be nothing but a normal bracelet.
‘Why is the jade mind-reflecting bracelet shaking?’ Bai Chen could not help but wonder. He frowned without knowing it.
Boom!
Suddenly, the bracelet inside the dimension ring glowed light green.
It was a dazzling pale green light. It formed a line and went straight in a certain direction.
Bai Chen’s eyes could not help but follow it.
“What is it?” Xu Sin Xiao and Xu Jing Xie asked when they saw Bai Chen frowning and looking at something after answering their questions.
“It’s nothing.” Bai Chen turned away from the green light that only he could see.
Even though he said that it was ‘nothing’, he knew that it was a cultivator’s doing!
Otherwise, the jade mind-reflecting bracelet would not react!
Xu Sin Xiao and Xu Jing Xie looked at each other a little. They were thinking the same thing, seeing Bai Chen get lost in his thoughts for a while.
As for Xu Xue Ning, since she’d realised her true feelings, she just sat still. Her face reddened and her breath was a little unstable.
“So, you’ve been dating our daughter since half a month ago, correct?” Xu Jing Xie asked, no longer giving attention Bai Chen going off in a reverie a moment ago.
“Yes.” Bai Chen nodded, still thinking about the cultivator who was targeting him.
At the same time, he sneaked a peek at Xu Xue Ning. He thought that if she was a cultivator, then it was only normal if there would be another one here, too.
However, it was not a good first impression for this cultivator in her family because the other party tried to attack him with their psychic power.
Bai Chen thought that the other party was trying to attack him with psychic power, rather than trying to investigate him.
His thoughts led him to this conclusion.
To be frank, why would the other party try to investigate him with psychic power when they did not even know each other?
It was a very rude thing to do, judging by the martial arts movies he had watched.
Those who did this sort of this all thought that they were better and stronger. That was why they were not afraid that they would offend anyone by using their psychic power to investigate or attack.
Bai Chen started to think that he was lucky to have the mind-reflecting bracelet. Otherwise, it would be hard to say what would happen to him.
...............................
On the other side, while Bai Chen was answering questions from Xu Xue Ning’s parents, an old man with a white beard and white hair was standing graciously in the room on the top floor of this luxurious mansion. He suddenly collapsed onto the floor.
His wrinkled face was pale white, lacking the color of blood. Blood gushed out of his mouth. His heart pounded. He was full of fear.
Finally, he stopped gushing out blood. He used the long sleeve of the old-fashioned Chinese outfit he was wearing to wipe the blood off his quivering mouth.
“L…legendary!”
His lips moved, letting his hoarse voice out. He had goosebumps all over.
“A l…legendary realm cultivator!”
This old man kept repeating this to himself like a madman for several minutes.
It was obvious that he was the one who had used his psychic power to investigate Bai Chen.
However, the mind-reflecting bracelet reflected the psychic power back to the point where he was hurt severely!
Not severely physically, but mentally!
