Under One Person: The Forbidden Files of the Magician

Chapter 56: Preparations Before the Grand Luo Tian Ceremony!

Early in the morning, a rapid but not jarring electronic alarm clock broke the tranquility of the master bedroom on the top floor of the villa.

Lu Xiaobai frowned, sat up from the super comfortable bed, and threw off the luxurious down comforter.

Real sunlight streamed in through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, bright and warm, with the refreshing feeling unique to the morning.

He rubbed his still sleepy eyes, his movements carrying a hint of languor from just waking up.

I got out of bed, and my iconic, seemingly unchanging white trench coat floated up from the hanger and landed in my hands as I began to put it on.

Simultaneously,

He casually raised his hand.

With a flick of his fingertip, several invisible breezes carrying a refreshing scent instantly swept over his entire body.

Like the most sophisticated cleaning magic,

It instantly dispelled all sleepiness and lingering dust, leaving me feeling refreshed and alert.

After tidying up, Lu Xiaobai opened the door and walked up the spiral staircase to the common area on the first floor.

As soon as I reached the stairwell, I heard a commotion coming from the lobby on the first floor.

The once spacious hall was now filled with a number of people.

On the large table in the middle, there was a pile of various breakfasts brought by Xu San and Xu Si:

Steaming hot meat buns, golden and crispy fried dough sticks, tofu pudding drizzled with tempting braising sauce, as well as soy milk, rice porridge, tea eggs... a wide variety of options, and plenty of food.

Xu Si and Feng Baobao remained the main force on the "battlefield," engrossed in their food.

Zhang Chulan also joined the "free meal army".

The intelligence minister ate the most "unrestrainedly," with a fried dough stick in one hand and a steamed bun in the other, devouring them in a whirlwind.

In stark contrast to him was the Minister of Magic standing beside him, a refined gentleman sipping his soy milk.

Lu Xiaobai glanced at it.

I quietly found an empty seat, sat down, and quietly picked up a steamed bun and a bowl of tofu pudding.

The Minister of Magic slowly finished his portion and glanced at the still-leftover steamed buns and fried dough sticks on the table.

After thinking for a moment, I picked up a clean lunchbox, carefully packed two hot meat buns and a fried dough stick into it, and then put a small bowl of warm soy milk in it.

He gestured to the intelligence minister, who was still wolfing down his food, then picked up the breakfast and quietly turned to walk towards the stairwell leading to the basement.

It seems that it was intended for Hu Tianbiao, the special "tenant" below.

The intelligence minister quickly finished his food, wiped his mouth, and seeing the magic minister leave, immediately perked up: "Then I'll go down and see that old fox too!"

Before the words were even finished, the person had already rushed down the stairs.

Breakfast was almost over.

Seeing this, Xu San and Xu Si exchanged a knowing glance and then pulled Lu Xiaobai to a relatively quiet corner of the hall.

Meanwhile, Zhang Chulan was dragged by the arm by Feng Baobao to an open space outside to continue his special training.

"Xiao Bai!" Xu San pushed up his glasses, his expression serious.

"The Luo Tian Grand Ceremony will be held in two days. Our most important goal this time is to do everything we can to help Zhang Chulan obtain the position of Celestial Master."

"This is not only related to the inheritance of the Celestial Master's lineage, but also a key step in our unraveling the core secrets of the Jia Shen Rebellion and finally finding out the baby's background."

"Mmm." Lu Xiaobai swallowed the last mouthful of soy milk and nodded.

At this moment, Xu Si, as usual, grinned and put his arm around Lu Xiaobai's shoulder, his tone slightly teasing:

"Hey, Little Bai, you're really something!"

"He went out for a stroll and caused chaos in the Northeast."

"My colleagues at the Northeast branch have been calling my phone non-stop! They're all complaining and asking me what's going on. What do you think we should do now?"

Xu Si blinked, his gloating expression impossible to hide.

"Tsk tsk, it seems another entry will be added to our mage's 'resume'!"

Xu Si's attitude clearly showed that he didn't want to get involved in this "other people's business".

However, unable to withstand the invisible pressure from above and the series of "sincere" calls from his colleagues, he still had to mention it to Lu Xiaobai.

He later roughly figured out what had happened. To put it bluntly, it was caused by some senior executives in the company making a mistake in judgment and improper operation.

Why did you provoke him?

Think about all the incredible things Lu Xiaobai did abroad, and the results speak for themselves.

They insist on stubbornly charging headlong into it.

As a result, you bump your head and get a bump, so you just have to bear the pain yourself, right?

Moreover, in Xu San and Xu Si's hearts, Lu Xiaobai was almost like their own younger brother. Even if he really caused a huge disaster, they would find a way to protect him and would never let him suffer.

After listening to Xu Si's words, Lu Xiaobai's face remained expressionless. He simply poured himself another cup of soy milk, sipped it slowly, and didn't respond.

Seeing this, Xu San and Xu Si tacitly stopped asking questions.

They knew Lu Xiaobai; the kid was very shrewd and knew exactly what he was doing.

Even if we assume he occasionally loses his senses, his endless stream of magical abilities is the biggest "sense" he possesses.

Look at the countries and organizations he "visited"—in the end, didn't they all have to swallow their pride and accept it?

At most, they'll issue a lukewarm statement; what else can they do to him?

Strength is the ultimate truth.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Xu San changed the subject at the right time, took out two brand-new ID cards from his briefcase, and handed them to Lu Xiaobai along with the original one.

"Xiaobai, the plane tickets are booked for tomorrow morning. You have three tickets in total."

"The issue of your additional identities has also been resolved. According to the records in the public security system, the three of you are now 'triplets' brothers. This explanation makes a bit more sense and saves us trouble."

He pointed towards Lu Xiaobai and the basement.

Lu Xiaobai took the ID card, glanced at the photos and aliases of the Minister of Magic and the Minister of Intelligence that were almost identical to his own, nodded, and casually put it away.

"Sigh!"

Xu San looked out the window at Zhang Chulan, who was "suffering," and couldn't help but sigh.

"Those troublemakers from the Quanxing sect will definitely not be quiet during this Luotian Grand Ceremony. However, this time is different from the past."

His tone shifted, becoming somewhat serious:

"We have reached an agreement with Grandpa Lu Jin and the Old Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain."

"The three parties will work together to ensure the smooth running of the Grand Ceremony, while also laying a tight net to crack down on any Quanxing heretics who might try to cause trouble! We will strive to minimize any potential damage and chaos."

Xu Si also dropped his joking expression and added:

"Old Master Lu is highly respected and shrewd, and the Celestial Master's Mansion is fighting on home ground. With the addition of our company's manpower and resources, Quanxing will probably have no chance to escape this time!"

"certainly……"

He patted Lu Xiaobai on the shoulder and then revealed his signature roguish smile.

"The most important 'insurance' is still you, our magician classmate!"

Xu San nodded in deep agreement: "That's right. With you here, we truly feel confident. In this operation, you remain the key to everything."

Lu Xiaobai listened quietly, his gaze sweeping over Xu San and Xu Si's solemn faces.

The three parties joined forces: Lu Jin, the company, and a supreme celestial master… This is indeed a formidable force. It seems that all parties are taking this grand ceremony and the potential chaos within the Quanxing Sect extremely seriously.

He nodded slightly in response.

The tone for the joint operation has been set.

This momentous event—the Longhushan Luotian Grand Ritual—is about to unfold its more complex prelude under the watchful eyes and strategic maneuvering of various forces.

Lu Xiaobai is undoubtedly an unpredictable "variable" on this huge chessboard.
