The Bai Family Castle had been in business for more than ten generations. Coupled with its rapid development in recent years, it could be said that it was constantly changing.
Nowadays, the Bai Clan's Castle stretched out into the distance and covered a vast expanse of land. Rather than calling it a castle, it would be better to call it a small town. The Bai Clan was a collective of clans that were tied together by genealogy, bloodline, and interests. From the inside to the outside, the Bai Clan had gathered together in a strict hierarchy, forming a firm community of common interests. In addition, the branches of the Bai Clan were scattered all over the Qin Province. Like a myriad of stars surrounding the moon, the Bai Clan's roots were implanted into the deepest part of the land.
This was the ideal situation for an aristocratic family.
Currently, the place where Sun Lang and Xie Wei were temporarily staying was the core area of the Bai Family Fort. The environment here was beautiful, and the scenery was breathtaking. The outside was surrounded by layers upon layers of buildings, and it was obvious that this was the most prestigious area of the Bai Family Fort. Only the legendary Old Ancestor had the qualifications to live here. This was the holy land in the hearts of the Bai Family disciples.
Since it was the residence of the Old Ancestor, it naturally had many advantages. First of all, the place was big. Second, the scenery was good. Third, it was quiet. Moreover, Bai Zhenming paid special attention to it and gave strict orders to make the core area even more deserted. No one dared to wander around here.
Xie Wei had lost her temper earlier. She rushed out of the door without caring about the direction. She just kept running around.
She wandered around the beautiful garden path for a while and came to a peach forest. She leaned against a peach tree and panted a few times. However, her mood became more and more agitated. She simply wanted to shout out loud.
But slowly, tears fell from the little fairy's eyes. Her tears fell into the soil under her feet and sank in an instant.
The b * tch said lightly, "I tried to stop you, but you didn't listen. Fortunately, you ran away at the last moment. Otherwise, if Sun Lang really talked about the Horned Tiger as you think, with your acting skills and shrewdness, how could you hide it from his eyes?
He would've seen through your connection with the Horned Tiger at a glance. Once he makes this connection, you can forget about hiding anything from him. "
Xie Wei whimpered, "If I can't hide it from him, then I can't hide it from him. At worst … at worst, I can't hide it from him."
"…" The Sword Spirit sighed, "What are you talking about?
There's something very wrong with your current situation. "
The little fairy leaned her head against the branch of the peach tree. As she wiped her tears, she said, "I just feel … very tired. Sister Lu, I even want … I even want to give up on revenge. I don't care about this matter anymore. I want to go home immediately. I want to go back to the mountains immediately. The world outside the mountains is really too complicated. I have to think about this and that …"
The b * tch said indifferently, "Have you thought it through?
Let's go now. "
Xie Wei was startled at first, then he shook his head and said, "No … Doesn't Sister Lu want to become a human again?"
The Sword Spirit said, "I don't have to hide it from you. I really want to be a human again. Sun Lang doesn't do business at a loss. Since he threw out this bait, it means that he expects me to work for him.
You don't want to be separated from me, so can you always stay by Sun Lang's side and work for him?
You can't hold it in anymore today. If this goes on, how much longer can you endure? "
The little fairy stammered, "I can … I can talk to him directly …"
The b * tch bluntly exposed her perfunctory words, "Talk?
After telling the truth, what kind of answer do you expect from Sun Lang?
What kind of answer can make you, his sister, work for the enemy who killed your brother with a clear conscience?
Once this window paper is exposed, with Sun Lang's suspicious temperament, he will definitely be on guard against you. You should know that, right? "
The little fairy thought about it and agreed. So she cried even more sadly, "This … this annoying person, why did he kill my brother …"
The Sword Spirit sighed. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe … I mean maybe … My previous judgment about Sun Lang may be a little biased.
You have also been in contact with Sun Lang these two days. What do you think of his character? "
Xie Wei sobbed and wiped his tears. He curled his lips and said, "Annoying person."
"…" The Sword Spirit was speechless. "Don't say it like a spoiled child. What else?
For example, in terms of dealing with people. "
The little fairy thought for a moment and Sun Lang's hateful face immediately appeared in her mind. His words and deeds these days flashed like flowing water. So Xie Wei snorted, "Arrogant, willful, stubborn, and doesn't listen to people."
The b * tch nodded and said, "That's right. So do you think that such an arrogant person is the kind of person who will kill people at will?"
Xie Wei hesitated and said, "He was very fierce to Old Master Bai. If it weren't for Old Master Bai's invulnerability, I'm afraid he would have been killed by him."
"That's because the two of them have a grudge. You have seen it. Not only does Sun Lang hate Bai Yuwei, but Bai Yuwei also hates him to death … Moreover, if I'm not wrong, this matter can't be blamed on Sun Lang."
The Sword Spirit sighed in a low voice. "In short, with Sun Lang's temper, he won't kill people casually. You should think so too, right?"
Xie Wei thought for a moment and then slowly nodded. "… Yes, although I don't agree with many of his practices, my intuition tells me that he is not that kind of heinous villain. He is even much better than those people we have seen before. As soon as those people saw me, they were thinking about how to get you from me, and then, then to me …"
When she said this, she looked a little bashful. As a girl who didn't know much about the world, her trip down the mountain was an eye-opener. With the mind-reading ability of the Horned Tiger Tribe, she could see through many people's treacherous hearts at a glance. Naturally, she also understood how sinister people's hearts were … Compared with those sanctimonious and insatiable human beings, Sun Lang was actually a little cute.
At the very least, even if he was plotting something against Ji Du, he would say it openly and not use tricks to steal it. Not to mention other things, his martial arts were so high that if he wanted to steal the sword, he could kill Ji Du with one finger.
Therefore, Xie Wei sighed. "Indeed, he doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would kill people casually."
The b * tch hesitated for a moment and slowly said, "So, your brother's death …"
The little minx reacted. She widened her eyes and said, "Sister Lu, you mean … my brother, he …"
The Sword Spirit sighed. "As far as I know about Sun Lang, he won't kill people for no reason. In other words, he must have killed your brother for a reason."
Xie Wei shook her head and said, "I know. He must have a reason to kill my brother, but … but no matter what the reason is, he killed my brother after all …"
The b * tch said, "This is different, Xie Wei. Let me make an assumption. I mean, if … You see, you and your brother were separated from each other when you were young. You were raised by your teachers in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. They taught you to be a rigid and weak … Oh, no, an upright and kind girl. But your brother may not have this opportunity. He was wandering outside and fell into the hands of someone with ulterior motives. Maybe he would be …"
The little minx was shocked and hurriedly said, "Sister Lu!"
"I mean, if … And Xie Wei, you know in your heart that the probability is not small. After all, you have seen how dirty the outside world is."
The Sword Spirit slowly said, "You have to admit that there is such a possibility … If your elder brother had really become an evil monster, and had fallen into Sun Lang's hands because he had done something bad, would you still want to take revenge?"
Xie Wei was stunned for a while and suddenly shook her head. This was a possibility she didn't want to consider. She couldn't imagine that her brother, whom she had never met, was an evil person. "No … this is impossible. Teacher said that our Horned Tiger Clan can see through people's hearts. We are auspicious beasts that judge crimes. How could we go down the evil path?"
"Maybe, but the world is unpredictable. People's hearts are fickle. No matter how upright and pure a soul is, it will be stained with darkness because of some things."
The Sword Spirit sighed softly. "You said that Sun Lang was too willful. Do you know how open and upright he was before? He was the reincarnation of a saint in the hearts of thousands of soldiers … but in the end, didn't he become like this?"
The little minx was surprised. "Him?
Open and kind?
Open and upright?
Sister Lu … you … you're not joking, are you? "
"… I'm not joking."
The Sword Spirit and Lu Shu-jen were originally one. The two personalities shared the memories of the past. Master Lu was one of the first people to know Sun Lang. He was also one of the people who knew Sun Lang's origins and secrets. He was also one of the people who watched Sun Lang walk to the top step by step. She would never forget the memories of that person.
Therefore, she said softly, "You think you have a clear conscience and are upright and magnanimous, but compared to Sun Lang's kindness, your kindness is like the difference between the clouds and mud. True kindness is benevolence and forgiveness, universal love and compassion. He did it, so many people were attracted to him and couldn't help but be convinced by him and admire him …"
The little minx said blankly, "Sister Lu, I don't understand …"
The Sword Spirit laughed self-deprecatingly. "It's normal because I have never understood this person. I don't know what he is thinking …"
Xie Wei blinked. He didn't cry anymore, but he didn't know how to answer.
After a long while, the Sword Spirit continued, "Why am I telling you this … You can't find out the cause of your brother's death because you can't find anything to talk about. But I have a friendship with him, so it shouldn't be difficult to get information out of him.
I didn't help you before because I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to accept the answer for a while. But now it seems that this matter is no longer something you can solve by yourself … "
Then she said, "Well, I'll talk to him tonight …"
Xie Wei heard this and panicked. "Sister Lu …"
"Well, little girl, you have to know. Before you can't help but mess things up, let me help you find out."
There was a hint of meaning in the words of the bitch personality. "Do you remember that Empress Tensei mentioned your brother before?
I have a hunch that maybe … your brother's death and the reason why Sun Lang killed him are all related to this princess. "
"… Sister Lu, I still don't understand."
"Then do you believe me?"
"Of course I believe you. Sister Lu is very good to me."
"Then you don't have to worry about it. Leave everything to me."
"But … But …"
"No buts!
If you continue to annoy me, I'll directly sell you to Sun Lang!
Let him tie you up in his cellar and make you bear his children for the rest of your life!
Let's see if you still have a chance to take revenge! "
"… So, Sister Lu, will he really lock people up in his cellar?"
"You go and ask him yourself?"
"I don't want to!"
As they chatted and quarreled, the little girl slowly returned along the original path, hugging the demon sword tightly.
The Sword Spirit sighed silently and then smiled in relief.
Forget it … Why should I use this little girl? It's better to ask Sun Lang the truth as soon as possible and untie the knot in her heart.
Otherwise, this little girl will really think about it for the rest of her life.
In short, I'll let Sun Lang off this time. There's no need to let Xie Wei be so conflicted. I have to untie the knot between her and Sun Lang as soon as possible. Hmph, can a brother who I've never met and who might be Empress' lackey be more important than me?
