Bai Shaofeng was practicing kung fu with Xiao Zhengrong at night when Feng Junzi occasionally came to watch the commotion and chimed in with a few words of advice. Bai thought he was also an expert, but later discovered that Feng Junzi was all talk and no action, just there to have fun. After teaching Bai the footwork and body method of Bagua Swimming Body Palm, Xiao suggested that Bai read the "I Ching" on his own, which might be beneficial for learning this palm technique. Xiao himself wasn't good at I Ching studies, but Feng Junzi seemed quite knowledgeable about it. Whenever he had time, Bai would carry a copy of the "I Ching" and look for opportunities to ask Feng Junzi questions. Feng didn't mind him at all, even giving him a pile of old books to take home and study.

  This day, Xiao Bai came relatively early. Xiang Zheng Rong hadn't arrived yet, but Feng Junzi had already finished his meal and was strolling around. He took this opportunity to explain the hexagram's combination and transformation in Yi studies to Xiao Bai again. If it were someone else, they wouldn't have the patience to listen to such complex and dull things. Although Xiao Bai had patience, he became more and more confused as he listened. Frowning, he asked: "Mr. Feng, Elder Xiang told me that learning Yi would help with my practice of Bagua Zhang, but I don't feel like what you're saying has anything to do with the kung fu I'm practicing?"

  Feng Junzi smiled and said, "I'm too lazy to learn martial arts, he doesn't understand the Book of Changes, they're speaking two different languages. However, if you really want to master the application of the Book of Changes and Bagua Palm Technique, unless you are already a great master."

  "Ah? So what I'm learning now is completely useless?"

  Feng Junzi: "How can you say it's useless? At least you learned something, right? I've never heard that learning Yi requires practicing Bagua Palm. Anyway, you won't lose out either way. Foolish kid, just focus on studying!"

  Bai Shaofeng thus began his own martial arts life, occasionally studying the I Ching with Feng Junzi, of course, this depends on Feng Junzi's time and mood. His martial arts skills should be quite good, but his studies of the I Ching are a bit hit-or-miss. His main task is still to serve as Luo Xue's bodyguard, following her every day when she goes out. Since the beach incident, Luo Xue had not gone out much for a period of time, but as the days gradually calmed down, she couldn't help but go out and take a look whenever she had free time. Little White even felt that Luo Xue was quite pitiful, her youth was like living in a cage, if it weren't for safety concerns, Little White would be very willing to accompany her on outings.

  As a bodyguard, one must be prepared to respond to various unexpected dangers, and among them, the most difficult to deal with are pre-arranged traps. It's easy to say that harming someone is easy or hard, but if you want to take action, you must study your opponent's habits. So when Luo Xue goes out, Xiao Bai advises her not to have too many regular routines and to be more casual about where she wants to go, but not to always go to fixed locations at fixed times. As for going to school, there is no way to change that, so they can only randomly change the route of the vehicle.

  Luoxi listened to Xiaobai's words, or rather, Xiaobai's suggestions were in line with her heart's desire, because she originally liked running around. For example, this Sunday, Luoxi came to the urban-rural wholesale and retail market in Wuyou City. This is a small commodity distribution center, where things are notoriously cheap and of poor quality, commonly known as the "big vegetable market". She had heard the servants at home privately discussing that if you want to find cheap goods, go to the big vegetable market, where there are many good things, so she had long wanted to come and see what made it such a great place?

  The rural market was very lively and large, cars couldn't drive in, so Xiao Bai accompanied Luo Xue to walk around the market. There were small food, various clothing, handicrafts, and all sorts of small commodities, many of which Luo Xue had never seen before, not because they were rare, but because they were cheap and low-end. Luo Xue thought it was very interesting, and as she walked, she came to a large shed that specialized in selling pets. They sold various cats and dogs, with few high-end breeds, mostly mixed-breed local dogs and stray cats, the fluffy little things looked very cute.

  Luó yī lù zhāo māo dòu gǒu, zài yī gè mài māo de lóngzi qián zuì zhe zuǐ shuō: "xiǎo miāo yǐjīng jǐ gè xīngqī méi chū xiàn le, tā bù xūyào wǒ kuì le ma?"

  Translation:

  Luo walked along the road calling out to cats and teasing dogs. In front of a cat vendor's cage, she pouted and said: "The kitten hasn't appeared for several weeks, doesn't it need me to feed it anymore?"

  Xiaobai comforted him on the side: "You should be happy, that cat has learned to survive on its own and doesn't need to beg for food from humans anymore."

  "Will it be enough for him to eat?"

  "If it's hungry and doesn't eat its fill, it will definitely wait for you to feed it. If it doesn't need you to feed it, that means it has already become independent."

  Just as they were talking, Luo Xue suddenly raised his hand and pointed to a distance, shouting: "Bai Mao! Your family's Bai Mao!"

  "What white hair?"

  Luo Xuan: "That donkey of yours at home, you told me about it before, I really saw it, how can it be here?"

  Donkey? Which pet market sells donkeys? Besides, the donkey in our house was turned into five-spice donkey meat over a decade ago. What did Luo Xue see? Xiao Bai followed Luo Xue's hand and looked over, and indeed there was a donkey outside the greenhouse door!

  The location of the big market is close to the suburbs, and there are also many rural residents who come here to buy and sell things. In the nearby villages, there are also people who specialize in raising cats and dogs for sale here, driving farm vehicles, and occasionally you can see donkey carts or horse-drawn carriages. Outside the gate of the big shed, there is a donkey cart pulling a cart full of small cages, all containing puppies. The space inside the shed was full, so the driver paid the market management fee and sold dogs in the empty space outside the shed.

  The donkey pulling the cart was a black donkey, not very old and not very tall, with shiny black fur all over its body. What's most distinctive is that on its right shoulder there's a white crescent-shaped mark, which is a tuft of white hair, and on the tip of its right ear there's also a tuft of white hair. This marking was exactly the same as the white donkey in Xiao Bai's home when he was young! Xiao Bai had told Luo Xue about it before, and Luo Xue was very curious so she remembered it clearly, and as soon as she saw this donkey she was drawn to it.

  Xiaobai couldn't quite believe his eyes, was there really such a coincidence in the world? Although Baimao was a grey donkey and this donkey was black, but the mixed hair marks were also too similar! Xiaobai said to Luoxue: "Miss, shall we go take a look?"

  Luó was more interested than him, pulling Xiao Bai and saying: "Hurry up, I also want to take a look."

  As he walked out of the big shed and came to the front of the donkey cart, the black donkey raised its head and saw Xiaobai. The eyes of humans and donkeys met, and Xiaobai felt his heart flutter and his feet tremble, almost losing his balance. What a familiar gaze! It was indeed Bai Mao! But how could this be possible? At this moment, an idea flashed through his mind, or rather, the meaning of a sentence: "Finally met you again, take me away quickly!"

  It's really White Hair, because this donkey can also talk! Of course, its way of speaking is very strange, directly transmitting into the mind without needing language communication. Xiao Bai asked in his heart: "Are you White Hair?" At this time, he and White Hair had a special way of communicating since childhood, that is, concentrating their attention to transmit thoughts, and they could all feel each other between him and the donkey.

  "Yes, I am White Hair! Little White, hurry up and think of a way to take me away, I've been waiting for you for a very long time." The donkey also replied.

  "Didn't you die?"

  White Hair: "I've died twice already, this is my third life as a donkey, I'm really so unlucky! You might not believe what I'm saying, I'll explain it to you slowly later... Can you think of a way to help me out? With a whole cart of paparazzi following me every day, I'm about to go crazy!"

  The dog seller's boss saw Xiaobai and Luoxue come to the front of the car and stop, thinking they were there to buy a dog, loudly greeting them: "You two, which one do you fancy? Take it in your arms and play with it, all are available for trial!"

  Xiao Bai finally reacted and subconsciously pointed at the white rabbit with his hand, asking: "Boss, how much?"

  "100 yuan per dog, discounts for bulk purchases, pick whichever one you like."

  The dog seller didn't notice that Xiaobai was referring to a donkey, but Luo Xue could see it and widened his eyes, asking: "So cheap? A hundred yuan for a donkey?"

  Dog seller: "What donkey? I'm selling dogs!"

  Luò Xī understood what Xiao Bai meant, pointing at the white fur and saying: "We didn't come to buy a dog, we want to buy this donkey."

  The dog seller was shocked: "If you want to buy a dog, there are as many as you want. Donkeys are for pulling carts and are not for sale!"

  Luo Xiao pushed Xiaobai slightly with a somewhat disappointed expression: "Xiaobai, his donkey is not for sale."
