Chapter 945: Chapter 942 House Arrest Chapter 945: Chapter 942 House Arrest “Granny has always said that men in this world are all full of sweet talk and flattery, and I don't believe a single word that comes out of your mouths,” the woman sneered, drawing her bow and arrow once again, this time aiming at Shen Luo.

Seeing this, Shen Luo felt a trace of displeasure in his heart, since he had never before encountered such an unreasonable woman.

His expression darkened, and in a flick of his wrist, the Pure Yang Flying Sword had already silently swept out of his sleeve, while a stream of azure water began to coil around him.

The woman, witnessing this, also became somewhat tense, her hand pulling the arrow went taut, and a green vortex gradually began to condense around the arrow cluster.

“Fei Xu, stop,” an elderly voice called from behind just then.

The woman, upon hearing the voice, did not lower her bow and arrow but turned slightly to greet the newcomer,

“Granny, these thieves are somewhat skilled.”

Shen Luo looked back and saw a white-haired woman wearing a purple dress slowly walking from inside the village. As she approached the array, she waved her hand casually, and a gateway automatically emerged on the array, allowing her to pass through.

Although the woman had white hair, her face was very young, and she was extremely beautiful and well-proportioned; how could she be the “Granny” the woman in black had mentioned?

“Fei Xu, stop it, they are not villains,” said the white-haired woman.

“But, Granny…”

“The two of them, one used the God's Power of Hua Sheng Temple and the other used Mount Fangcun's body techniques; both are from prestigious schools. You fought with them just now, but they were always restrained. Otherwise, how could you still be standing here unharmed?” the white-haired woman explained.

Hearing this, the woman in black reluctantly set down her bow and arrows.

“Junior Shen Luo pays respects to the Elder,” Shen Luo said, promptly stepping forward with a cupped fist salute.

Bai Xiaotian and Yuan Qiu did the same, reporting their names.

“My surname is Sun; you may call me Granny Sun,” the white-haired woman said, glancing at the woman in black.

“Liu Feixu,” the woman in black had to introduce herself to Shen Luo and the other two with a face full of reluctance.

“Fellow Cultivators, though my Daughter Village may not be a grand immortal sect, it is not a place just anyone can enter. How did you get in?” Granny Sun asked, looking over the three of them.

Bai Xiaotian and Yuan Qiu remained silent while Shen Luo stepped forward and said, “To tell you the truth, it was an Elder of our sect who taught us the way to enter this place.”

“Elders of your sect… Well, since you're here, you are guests. Follow me into the village,” Granny Sun hesitated for a moment but did not probe further.

“Thank you, Elder,” the three of them quickly expressed their gratitude.

Seeing this, Liu Feixu could only follow behind Granny Sun and walk towards the inside of the village.

After entering the array, Granny Sun continued, “You shouldn't blame Fei Xu for her rashness; the village has not been at peace lately. One of my disciples, Lili'er, has gone missing. She was abducted by an outsider male whose appearance and stature are very similar to yours.”

“Similar to me?” Shen Luo was surprised to hear this.

“What resemblance, they are clearly identical. Granny, I think this guy is just feigning ignorance,” Liu Feixu said.

It was only at this moment that Shen Luo realized why Granny Sun had allowed them to enter the village.

Whether the person who abducted Lili'er was Shen Luo or not, it was evidently related to Shen Luo, and they feared that getting the Nine Brahmanic Lotus from the village wouldn't be so straightforward anymore.

However, after pondering for a long time, Shen Luo was still clueless, not understanding why someone would impersonate him to abduct a female disciple from Daughter Village.

“Granny Sun, I really have no knowledge of this matter. I came here to seek a Nine Brahmanic Lotus, but I did not expect such a thing to have happened in the village,” Shen Luo said.

“Wishful thinking. You, who abducted Lili'er, dare to covet the Nine Brahmanic Lotus? That is the treasure of our Daughter Village; how can it possibly be given to an outsider like you?” upon hearing this, Liu Feixu couldn't help but burn with anger.

“Eh, why would you know about the Nine Brahmanic Lotus? Although it is a treasure indeed, it is rarely known in the world, and there shouldn't be many who know of it,” Granny Sun stopped in her tracks, held up her hand to stop Liu Feixu, and said with confusion.

“This… I was also informed by a nobleman,” Shen Luo responded.

“No matter who informed you or what master or elder you have behind you, the Nine Brahmanic Lotus will not be given to you. You can dispense with that hope. It seems that Lili'er's disappearance is greatly related to you, so until this matter is clarified, you may not leave the village,” Granny Sun turned and continued to lead the way, saying without turning back.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo exchanged a glance with Bai Xiaotian, sighing in his heart; it was indeed as he expected, they were under house arrest.

“Elder, I have no objections to the investigation, but if this matter arose because of me, I wish to participate in the investigation to prove my innocence,” Shen Luo reverted to the respectful term “Elder” as he spoke.

“Fine, as long as you don't leave the village, your movements within can remain unrestricted. Of course, this excludes some places which are strictly off-limits. Feixu will clarify these to you later on,” Granny Sun nodded and said.

“Thank you, Granny,” Shen Luo once again said.

“Shen Luo, how do you plan to prove your innocence?” At that moment, Bai Xiaotian's voice echoed in his sea of knowledge.

“Since someone is targeting me, by coming here, they won't pass up the opportunity to strike at me. I just need to wander around the village a bit. It would be best if I can draw the snake out of its hole; if not, I can only take this chance to explore the situation regarding the Nine Brahmanic Lotus,” Shen Luo communicated back with his mind.

Upon entering the village, they continued to meet various people along the way, including youthful and beautiful young girls, aged women showing signs of decline, and even more children who were chasing and playing around the village.

No matter which group it was, upon seeing Granny Sun, they would all respectfully greet her as “Granny.”

And after doing so, these people would then invariably take a few glances at Shen Luo and his companions. The younger ones mostly looked curious, while those who were a bit older seemed to harbor some disdain and hostility in their eyes.

Among them, there were both cultivators with mana fluctuations and ordinary mortals; without exception, they were all female, not a single man present.

Having been aware of the local customs here, Shen Luo was not surprised.

They arrived in front of a two-story wooden building in the village. Granny Sun halted and said to Liu Feixu, “Go and arrange their accommodation. Be sure to explain to them what they need to know.”

“Yes, Granny.” Liu Feixu replied, shooting Shen Luo a reluctant glance.

“Thank you, Granny Sun,” Shen Luo and his companions were also quick to bow in gratitude.

Granny Sun nodded, turned, and entered the wooden building, while Liu Feixu stood with hand on hips, glaring unfriendly at Shen Luo.
