Bai Xiu didn't want to embarrass him, so he said, "Then let's go back first." ”

Bai Rui scratched his head a little embarrassedly, but he didn't hold it anymore, nodded again and again, and said, "Okay, I'll send you over first." ”

He looked at it again, only to be hit in the face.

Seeing that the other party was coming, he quickly retracted his head, pushed Bai Xiu, and said, "You go this way, if someone asks, just say that I brought you in."

You walk to the pier – it's at the end of the road, just get on the boat. Outsiders who go out of Lizhen, Brother Bai Sang will not interrogate. Oops, my sister is here, I have to go!"

Without waiting for Bai Xiu to react, Bai Rui had already run away in a panic.

Bai Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw that there was no one around, he chose a direction and sneaked quietly.

Although he was only a few years old when he left, he was still quite familiar with the Bai family. The town is not as good as the other town, and even after 20 years, there is still not much change.

According to his memory, he soon arrived at the Blue Dragon Sect.

He came to the Blue Dragon Sect to find someone.

This person is one of the three survivors of the "Battle of the Maple Leaf Forest", and she is likely to know the truth about the disappearance of his parents back then.

And he had to find this person before Bai Yan came back, otherwise, under her interference, the other party would most likely be unwilling to reveal the true situation of the year.

This person's name is Bai You, who is the senior sister of his father Bai Shu, and the only daughter of the Phoenix Sect at that time.

After failing to compete for the head of the Phoenix Sect, she married Bai Dong, who was not yet the patriarch, and since then she has separated from the Phoenix Sect.

As the night deepened, the entire Baijia Town was shrouded in tranquility, and the Blue Dragon Sect was no exception.

Except for a few disciples who were patrolling the night, Bai Xiu barely met anyone along the way.

I don't know how long he went, but he suddenly heard the sound of a flute.

The sound of the flute whispered softly in the silent night, like an old man thinking of each other, which was very beautiful.

Bai Xiu's heart moved, and he dodged and walked in that direction.

The night wind suddenly blows, and the leaves rustle.

When Bai Xiu heard this, he knew that this was a bamboo forest.

But before he could get closer, the sound of the flute stopped.

A cold female voice said slowly: "The old man is visiting, why be so restrained, Bai You has been waiting for a long time." ”

Bai Xiu was shocked in her heart, and said secretly, could it be that she already knew that she would come?

However, since the other party had already discovered his tracks, he didn't have to continue to hide it, so he appeared and walked steadily to the person's side.

"......" Bai You turned around, and the next moment his eyes were full of surprise.

But soon, this surprise turned to confusion, and she was stunned: "Ashu, you, are you back?"

Bai Xiu was surprised, this Bai You actually mistook him for his father.

Seeing that he was stunned, Bai You finally came back to his senses and laughed at himself: "I'm really confused, even if he is still alive, how can he be at such an age." ”

She felt something, raised her hand and touched the almost imperceptible wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and muttered, "Yes, it's been twenty years, and I'm old......"

In fact, she is still very beautiful at this age - although her eyebrows are cool, she has the elegance of green bamboo, and her green hair is held at will, and her temperament is very dusty.

The years have not left too many traces on her, but she has experienced too much, and memories will inevitably leave some Shen Ke in her eyes, but this is also the inevitable precipitation that time leaves for a person.

She looked at Bai Xiu carefully, as if she was caught in a memory, and said in a trance: "You are really similar to him, if Bai Xiu's girl sees it, I'm afraid it will ......."

Bai Xiu couldn't help but feel strange in her heart.

Naturally, he remembered what his parents looked like, and in terms of appearance, he didn't bear much in common with his father.

He couldn't help but think, maybe it was because of the first time he saw him for a long time, Bai You, the old man, saw his father's shadow from him.

The other party's gaze was too focused, which made him inexplicably a little uncomfortable.

He pondered for a moment and decided to take the initiative to speak, and said in a deep voice, "Aunt Bai You, I came this time to ask you something. ”

Bai You frowned and smiled, and said calmly: "About him?"

Bai Xiu naturally knew who this "he" meant, so he nodded solemnly, saluted again, and then said sincerely: "Please also ask Aunt Bai You to tell me the truth." ”

Bai You finally stopped looking at him, turned his back, and watched the moonlight sprinkle on the silent bamboo forest, and the figures of the two were like ghosts, gently floating under the mottled bamboo shadows.

She looked at the two shadows, her thoughts went back to twenty years ago, and said with a wry smile: "I still can't believe that what happened twenty years ago turned out to be true......

Bai Xiu knew that she had agreed to her request, so she simply stopped making a noise and listened to her speak slowly.

Bai You sighed and said, "I hate your father, it hasn't changed in the past twenty years.

It was he who won his father's trust, it was he who snatched the position of the head of the Phoenix Sect, it was he who provoked those people and harmed the entire Phoenix Sect, and it was he who betrayed his promise and left behind the clansmen who fought for him to the death, and never heard from him again. ”

She chuckled and muttered, "It would be nice if it was just like that, I just had to hate him with all my heart......

She turned her head to look at Bai Xiu again, and said slowly, "At that time, your father was already the head of the Phoenix Sect, and he was about to become the head of the Bai family.

Perhaps feeling that he didn't have enough experience, your father decided to go on a trip with your mother that year. They were away for almost a year and finally returned. ”

Bai Xiu's heart moved, and he couldn't help asking, "You mean that before the 'Battle of the Maple Leaf Forest', they went back to the Bai family?"

Bai You nodded and said with great certainty: "That's right." ”

A trace of doubt quietly surfaced in Bai Xiu's heart, and he couldn't help but say: "But as far as I know, my parents were hunted down and killed back then, and they had no chance to return to the Bai family, so they had to summon Tianji Gong for help." ”

Bai You frowned and said, "They did go back to the Bai family, and only I knew about this matter, but I didn't know that they were in such a big trouble at the time." ”

"Then why didn't they ask everyone for help directly, but came back quietly?" Bai Xiu was puzzled.

Bai You smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "Probably because I don't want to affect the Bai family, in order to arrange for the clan to hide outside for a period of time afterwards, so as to cover up the matter." I don't know your father's character......"

As she spoke, her face froze, and she fell silent.

Bai Xiu heard the unconcealable trust in her tone, and asked, "In this way, you don't believe that my father would betray the Bai family?

Bai You closed his eyes in pain, shook his head in distraction, and said to himself, "I don't know, I don't know...... I've been thinking about it for twenty years, and I still don't understand why he did that. ”

She opened her eyes, looked at Bai Xiu fixedly, and said, "At that time, my father received his distress letter, and summoned the masters of the clan to rescue him overnight. Although I am no longer from the Phoenix Sect, I still went together.

There, we encountered one of the most brutal battles since the founding of the Six Sects. The enemy is strong, and there are constantly people who are seriously wounded or killed. I was worried about your father, so I searched for him while fighting, and then I saw him quietly retreat with your mother. ”

Bai Xiu couldn't believe such a truth, and subconsciously asked, "You mean, you watched my parents leave with your own eyes?"

Bai You laughed to himself: "That's right, otherwise I would never believe that he would really do that." At that moment, I was so disappointed and angry that I chased after me to ask for clarification. ”

Bai Xiu didn't know what to say for a while, but he understood Bai You's mood at that time, and if it were him, he would do the same.

"They went fast and I tried my best to catch up with them. Bai You thought about it carefully, the scene at that time, the state of mind at that time, even after so many years, is still vivid.

Twenty years ago, the maple forest.

Bai You was very anxious, she wanted to catch up with Bai Shu and ask herself, why did he leave his clan and leave suddenly, did he really see that the situation was wrong, and planned to exchange the sacrifice of the clansmen for the opportunity for his golden cicada to get out of his shell?

The red leaves of the mountains obscured her vision, and there was only a patch of blood in her eyes, as if it was the blood of the clansmen.

Suddenly, she caught a familiar fluctuation of spiritual power and immediately chased after it.

Soon, the two figures came into Bai You's eyes.

Bai Shu and Xie Qingyuan were also embarrassed, they supported each other and tried their best to hurry.

Suddenly Bai Shu stopped, and Bai Yu vaguely heard him say: "I suddenly have a bad premonition...... Qingyuan, I have to go back and have a look, you go first. ”

As he spoke, he turned to leave.

Xie Qingyuan grabbed him and said urgently: "Ashu, he will catch up soon, and it will be too late for us to leave." Don't worry, his goal is us, and he won't be too difficult for the Bai family. ”

Bai Shu hesitated for a while, but still nodded and said, "Okay, listen to you." ”

Bai You knew that if she didn't stop the two of them, she would have no chance, so she shouted loudly: "Bai Shu, do you really want to leave your people behind and leave?!"

Hearing her voice, Bai Shu's figure suddenly shook, turned to look at her, and said a little evasively: "You'er, why are you ...... here?"

Bai You saw his weakness and sneered: "Why can't I be here, do you think you can slip away without knowing it, and then live in peace?!"

"I ......" Bai Shu lowered his head a little ashamedly.

Xie Qingyuan smiled mockingly, glanced at Bai You, and said quietly: "Miss Bai is really righteous and awe-inspiring...... In fact, you are just taking this opportunity to vent your anger at your defeat to Ash.

But in the matter of competing for the head of the Phoenix Sect, he was not wrong. Everything you do is also your own choice, such as breaking away from the Phoenix Sect and marrying Bai Dong. ”

"Hmph, if it weren't for you......" Bai You stared at her through gritted teeth, unable to even utter a complete sentence.

Xie Qingyuan looked at her and laughed, "What's wrong with me? Are you trying to say that if it weren't for me, you would marry Ashu?" Hehe, do you think Ashu would like you?"

Bai You's eyes were sour, but he still sneered: "I, Bai You, don't like a coward like him who escapes."

That's right, I am indeed inferior to him in the cultivation of the spirit, and I am convinced if I lose to him. But if it were me, even if I died, I would be worthy of the five words 'Phoenix Sect Leader'. This is the trust that everyone in the Phoenix Sect has in him, but he has failed them!"
