The next day.
There was only one day left until the day when all the heroes would gather at the Bai Clan's Fort.
As usual, Xie Wei got up very early. She had maintained a very good work and rest habit since she was a child. The little minx was a good and disciplined child and did everything methodically.
She sat in front of the large and luxurious dressing table, slowly braiding her black satin hair into a thick long braid and tucking it behind her head.
There were a lot of rouge and face powder on the dressing table that she had never heard of before. Girls were naturally fond of beauty, and she also liked these exquisite cosmetics. But now, these things that girls liked the most could no longer attract her attention.
She had something on her mind.
The huge western mirror accurately and perfectly reflected her image. The young girl's lips were tightly pursed, and a faint layer of worry appeared on her originally cheerful and beautiful face.
Last night, she was moved by the deep father-son relationship between Bai Yuwei and Bai Yuwei. Her curiosity about her parents also rose, so she made a suggestion to Bai Yuwei.
She wanted to use the Horned Tiger's innate ability to read minds to spy on the Golden Radiant Sword Saint Bai Yuwei's memories.
If she could see Bai Yuwei's memories, she could not only learn about her parents, but also help Bai Yuwei remember something. This was obviously a good idea to kill two birds with one stone.
But before Bai Yuwei could respond to this proposal, it was vetoed by Big Sister Lu.
She had never seen Big Sister Lu so angry. At that time, the Sword Spirit's anger shook her spiritual world. "Are you tired of living!?
Bai Yuwei has been soaked in blood for decades. You, a little monster, dare to read his memories?
Don't you know how to write the word 'death'? "
The little minx was also very annoyed at that time.
Ever since she had barged into the abandoned house filled with terrifying words, the waves in her heart had been increasing day by day. Usually, whenever she had free time, she would involuntarily think of that terrifying house. She always felt that she had overlooked something, and she even wanted to take a look at it again.
But every time she mentioned this idea, the b * tch personality would reject it without any explanation.
After all, Xie Wei was also a little girl. She had a living body of flesh and blood and had thoughts, so she could be happy, angry, worried, and afraid. She had just become an adult and had grown up in the mountains isolated from the rest of the world. She was as innocent as a child. Since she was a child, no matter how rational and sensible she was, there was a limit.
Especially when he was under a lot of mental pressure and was still affected by the strange illusion and inexplicable intuition caused by the abandoned house.
In this case, the idea that she had boldly proposed was rejected by Sister Lu in the fiercest way, and the uneasiness and dissatisfaction that had been suppressed in her heart finally broke out.
It was rare for her to get angry, and she had a big argument with the sword spirit through the spiritual link.
However, in their contractual relationship, although she was the Sword Master in name, her strong and domineering personality always firmly held the initiative. Along the way, the Sword Spirit was always the one making the decisions.
Therefore, even if they quarreled fiercely, Xie Wei's idea of reading Bai Yuwei's memories was eventually blocked.
The little fairy sadly bid farewell to Bai Yuwei and returned to her room. She didn't talk to the sword spirit for the whole night.
She didn't sleep well, tossing and turning. She even had several nightmares in a row. She felt very bad and uneasy, and she always felt that something big was going to happen in the next two days.
Sister Lu also seemed to be sulking with her. In the huge Bai Castle, she had no one to talk to. She felt very wronged and helpless. She was full of worries and didn't know who to talk to.
In this lonely and lonely state of mind, she couldn't help but think of Sun Lang.
The man who was born as a hero of the Celestial Origin Era, even though he had been rejected and betrayed by the people who almost destroyed him, still lived freely in this world. Usually, he would laugh happily and live happily. This was undoubtedly a powerful man. Whether it was his soul or his body, the little fairy could not even imagine anyone who could defeat him.
She thought of Sun Lang's heartless smile and the words that Sun Lang had said to her before. Therefore, she looked forward to Sun Lang coming back soon and talking to her for a while. Even if it was something insignificant, it would be fine.
Even when she thought of his voice and smile, the uneasiness in her heart calmed down a little.
She was thinking about when Sun Lang would come back. If he didn't come back tonight, he should be back tomorrow, right?
"What … I have to wait until tomorrow?"
She looked at Bai Zhenming in surprise. Even she didn't notice the deep disappointment in her voice.
After breakfast, she went to find Bai Yuwei as usual. She met Bai Zhenming who came to pay his respects. She saw the uneasiness and fatigue in Bai Zhenming's eyes. It seemed that Master Bai was also under a lot of mental pressure.
From him, Xie Wei got a disappointing answer.
Sun Lang wouldn't come back today. He would come back tomorrow after he finished dealing with the Bai Castle's affairs.
Bai Zhenming looked at the girl's unconcealable disappointment and sadness. His heart was slightly moved.
He was already in his forties or fifties. How experienced was his eyesight? He could tell at a glance what was on this little minx's mind. Hmph, it seems like this little girl has feelings for Sun Lang …
Is there something I can take advantage of?
Bai Zhenming was a little puzzled.
Yesterday, he received the first letter from Tensei Province. The letter asked him to show his "sincerity for cooperation". It was a trivial matter, so Bai Zhenming went to do it.
He followed the instructions in the letter and casually revealed the fact that there was a demonic race military judge in his father's army. Sure enough, Xie Wei was very excited.
Although Bai Zhenming didn't know what was going on, nor did he know why the Tensei Province wanted him to do this, the dignified Tensei Province definitely wouldn't do something without a target. He felt that this little minx was definitely an important chess piece.
Therefore, he thought that the Tensei Province would take further action or give further instructions on this matter. However, the letter that was full of countermeasures didn't contain any instructions about the little minx's actions. It was as if the Tensei Province had forgotten about this small matter. This made Bai Zhenming very surprised.
Did they not trust me, so they sent someone else to do this?
Or … is it not the right time?
No matter what Patriarch Bai guessed in his heart, he still had to act on the surface.
He said to the disappointed little minx, "Mr. Sun is doing something important, so he can't come back immediately … He also asked me to pass a few words to you, so you don't have to worry."
Hearing this, the little minx's expression changed. Then, she said softly, "I understand …"
— — This little girl really has some feelings for Sun Lang … Hmph, looking at her, I'm afraid she doesn't even know it herself.
Bai Zhenming exchanged a few words with the little minx and chatted with his father for a while before hurriedly leaving.
Today was the last day.
Tomorrow was the moment to decide his fate … He had a lot of things to arrange and a lot of preparations to do.
What's more, his father was still here. He couldn't stay any longer because he was afraid that he couldn't help but say something or do something … He couldn't say anything or do anything. He couldn't let anyone find any clues. All he could do was look at her a few more times, that's all.
Fortunately … the man didn't have to say much.
After sending Bai Zhenming away, Xie Wei sighed softly.
She looked up and met Bai Yuwei's eyes. Old Bai whispered, "I didn't tell him."
— — It was last night's proposal. Xie Wei wanted to read Bai Yuwei's memory.
A cold snort sounded in her mind.
Xie Wei smiled bitterly and whispered, "I'm sorry."
Bai Yuwei shook his head. "It's okay … I thought about it last night. It's better not to do it.
Although I can't remember the past, I know that it's a memory that makes me extremely painful and fearful. Even I don't want to remember it, so it's a very bad thing. How can I let you come into contact with her … "
Pain and fear … The pain and fear of a Seven Luminaries Sword Saint.
Xie Wei sighed softly. "What kind of memory would make a hero like you feel pain and fear?"
Bai Yuwei couldn't answer her question accurately. He blinked and pondered for a moment. Although he had lost his memory, his spirit sense was still there. He could faintly touch that feeling.
"Despair …" he murmured. "It's like the whole world is bleeding, like the sky is falling."
The little minx couldn't understand this.
After all, she had never experienced this before.
Never before.
Bai Zhenming returned to the Towering Residence.
At this time, the Bai Clan Castle was turbulent. The news spread like wildfire throughout the Bai Clan. Tomorrow, a large group of martial artists would come to visit, saying that the ancestor had killed many people in Huaichuan.
With the arrogance of the Bai Clan's disciples, how could they take this matter to heart?
Even if it was them, they would usually accidentally kill a lowly slave, or accidentally kill someone while galloping on the street. At most, they would leave a slave behind to pay for their crime. Human life had long since become insignificant in their eyes.
— — With the ancestor's martial arts, reputation, and status, killing a few jianghu bandits was nothing.
They thought it was a trivial matter, but they didn't expect it to escalate to such an extent. Now, the Bai Clan could smell the unsettling atmosphere in the air. They realized that something big was about to happen, so everyone was in danger and had their own plans. Chaos was brewing and rumors were spreading.
Bai Zhenming was well aware of all this, but he had already planned to use this opportunity to make the Bai Clan rise from the ashes. As the saying goes, without destruction, there can be no construction.
Moreover, since he had already made up his mind, he naturally had to fight to the death. Compared to the future of the Bai Clan and his father's life, the current chaos was not worth mentioning, so he didn't have the time to pay attention to these details.
At this time, he was quickly reviewing documents in the Towering Residence, issuing orders and making preparations as quickly as possible. There were many things to do, so he had to arrange everything flawlessly.
After all, his opponent was that kind of monster … Even with the help of the Tensei Province, he had to be extremely focused to deal a fatal blow.
Sun Lang … You think that your martial arts are superior and that you are invincible, so I'm afraid that you have never placed me in your eyes. In your eyes, I am nothing more than a cowardly and incompetent ant that you can easily crush to death.
So you've never paid attention to my thoughts, right?
So you've never thought that I would have the courage to betray you and take revenge on you, right?
So, your carelessness and underestimation of your enemy will lead to your failure.
Just you wait!
