Chapter Seventy-Eight: I Don't Know What to Do
Bai Yan looked at Bai Qing and the two of them and smiled.
She said: "Your father was as obsessed as he was, and he ended up in disrepute.
Originally, with your father's experience, he would never be in danger of going mad, and it was this Demon Breaking Blade that covered up the hidden dangers caused by the cultivation of the Returning Star Fragment from the Abyss, making him ignore this problem.
You say, did she hurt him?"
Bai Yan's words made Bai Xiu fall into an ice cave, and the stinging pain in his spiritual veins also shouted.
He quietly swallowed the blood in his throat and said slowly, "Auntie, if what you said is true, then why did she do this......"
Bai Yan sneered: "Who knows what her purpose is...... All I know is that at her instigation, your good father has gradually been infected by spiritual resentment, and although it has been suppressed by the Demon Breaker Blade, it still does not help.
In the end, his temperament changed drastically, and he ignored the entire Phoenix Sect in the battle of the Maple Leaf Forest, causing the three hundred clansmen to die in vain!"
Her words were so loud that they silenced the others.
Bai Che secretly looked at Bai Xiu, and when he saw that he was sad, he couldn't help but retort: "Auntie, if my father is really like you said, then why does he want to return the Ming greedy wolf Yuque to Aunt Bai You, it doesn't make sense, right?"
Bai Yan was unmoved, and sneered: "You ask your brother to understand why your father did this." ”
Hearing her say this, Bai Che was a little confused, and couldn't help but say, "What does this have to do with Bai Xiu?"
Bai Yan didn't answer him, but asked Bai Xiu, "In the Land of Listening to Souls, you have been controlled by the breath of gods and demons twice, right?"
Bai Xiu didn't understand why she asked this question at first, but he quickly reacted and muttered, "Could it be ......?"
Sure enough, Bai Yan continued: "If it wasn't Fang Xin who used the Demon Breaking Blade to help you suppress the Divine and Demon Inducing Breath the second time, but you killed Fang Xin unconsciously, when you came to your senses, what would be the situation?"
Bai Xiu couldn't help but bow his head.
Bai Che exclaimed: "Auntie, you mean that my father had already gone mad at that time, and he was temporarily safe by relying on the suppression of the Demon Breaking Blade. And in the Maple Leaf Forest, if there was a problem with the knife, he ......"
"That's right, Bai You didn't know the reason, he just said that he was confused by that woman, but he didn't know that his 'temperament' was like this - at that time, he was no longer the original Phoenix Sect leader Bai Shu.
All of this was caused by that woman, not to mention that she induced him to continue cultivating the Returning Star Fragment from the Abyss, even if your father suddenly lost his mind and did such a thing, I am afraid that she was also secretly doing it.
Of course, he also deserved it, both greedy for the power brought by the fragment of the return from the abyss, and partial to that woman, which allowed him to end up like this.
As for why this knife recognized Bai Xiu as the master, it was just his innate instinct to devour spiritual resentment.
This is the reason why I oppose Bai Xiu's use of ghost qi to repair the spiritual veins and then use the Demon Breaker Blade to suppress the ghost qi. If he does, sooner or later he will follow in your father's footsteps. ”
Bai Yan scoffed.
When she said this, Bai Che was speechless.
Bai Xiu shook his head, the expression on his face became more and more determined, and he said: "When I find them, when the truth comes out, it will not be too late for us to make a conclusion...... In any case, I believe in my father and my mother will never harm him. ”
After hearing him say this, Bai Yan's eyes gradually gave birth to a bit of gloom.
Although Bai Che was unreliable on weekdays, when he saw that the two were arguing again, he was clever once, and he glanced at Bai Qing again and again.
The latter understood, pretended to cough, and then said to Bai Yan: "Auntie, the White Tiger Sect has set up a dinner party tonight, and we and the Fang family have invited it, I see that the time is almost up, let's come back and talk about it later." ”
He intended to persuade, but Bai Yan didn't appreciate it.
I don't know why, since Bai Xiu came back from the land of listening to souls, his words and deeds made her can't help but think of all kinds of past events.
An inexplicable, inexplicable emotion haunted her, and a terrible thought arose in her heart—she would rather ruin him than let him follow his father's path.
"Auntie?" Seeing that her expression was different, Bai Qing deliberately increased his voice and called out loudly.
Bai Yan came back to his senses and still looked at Bai Xiu.
He hung his head as if in a state of flux.
She inappropriately remembered the figure that stood silently beside her at the beginning, and then a certain scene that she remembered for twenty years and was reluctant to forget was also more and more clear in her mind.
She was suddenly a little relieved, sighed lightly, nodded at Bai Qing, and turned to leave.
Bai Xiu heard the movement and was about to stop it, but was held down by his second brother.
Feeling the chill of his body, Bai Che said with a rare face: "Don't be reckless, your mood fluctuated too much just now, and it even affected the injury of the spiritual vein." What's the matter, we have to heal our injuries before we can fix it, right?"
Bai Xiu nodded, and then he said bitterly: "Second brother...... Do you think what your aunt said is true?
At the instigation of his mother, his father cultivated from the Yuangui Star Fragment and went mad, and finally his temperament changed drastically, leaving behind the clansmen who fought to the death for them in the Maple Leaf Forest and left?"
Bai Che sighed, and didn't know how to answer him for a while, so he simply let him lie down, and then slowly injected his spiritual power into his spiritual veins.
"I told you not to think about it, you want to know the truth, just find them and ask them in person?"
The soft spiritual power roamed within him, and the sharp sting was finally relieved.
Bai Xiu's consciousness became more and more blurred, and in the end, he only heard such an answer, and fell into the boundless darkness.
When he woke up again, Bai Che had already left, but he was keenly aware that there should be another person in the room.
The familiar fragrance wafted through the air, and he asked tentatively, "Ah Xin?"
"Are you awake?" Fang Xin came back from his contemplation and hurriedly responded.
She walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, squeezed his hand, and said happily: "Hongmeng Valley is full of spiritual energy, and the ghost qi is really much thinner, plus the help of the soul suppression beam, you don't have to worry about the problem of ghost transformation for the time being." ”
She pursed her lips, the method that Mingshu said before was not embarrassed to come forward after all.
Bai Xiu didn't ask her about Ming Yuchu, nor did she ask why she appeared here, but just smiled: "It's hard for you to come to see me so late." ”
Fang Xin shook his head, and immediately realized that Bai Xiu couldn't see it, so he said: "We went to the White Tiger Sect at night, I looked for a chance to leave first, and then I hid in Lizhen until now, and only now did I find a chance to come over."
But it's not hard at all, as long as you're okay, I'm relieved. ”
Bai Xiu's heart warmed.
At this moment, it seems that all doubts become less important.
Seeing that she couldn't hide her tiredness between her words, Bai Xiu switched the Demon Breaker Blade to the other side and moved a place for her.
He said apologetically, "Ah Xin, you can also come and rest...... If you want to go back to the town, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until tomorrow morning. ”
"Huh?" Fang Xin was stunned, and when she reacted, her face was a little hot, and she snorted, "Okay, okay." ”
She and her clothes were lying in the vacant position, her whole body stiffened a little, and behind her was the familiar aura.
She didn't dare to look back, so she closed her eyes to herself.
The next moment, a faint warmth covered her, and it turned out that Bai Xiu covered her with a quilt.
Fang Xin's face was even darker, and her heart was so nervous that she almost jumped out, and then she heard the sound of rustling, but it was Bai Xiu who had already put on her coat and got out of bed.
"Get some sleep, I'm here to watch...... Rest assured, no one will come. Bai Xiu's voice came from not far away.
"Hmm. Fang Xin replied in a low voice, unable to tell for a moment whether it was loss or relief - it turned out that she had misunderstood again.
But she became more and more at ease, and before she knew it, she fell asleep.
She slept soundly until dawn.
The crisp chirping of birds came from the courtyard outside the house, and she slowly looked up to see the faint morning light breaking in through the open window.
Bai Xiu was bathed in this glimmer of light, her expression was quiet, as if the whole person was about to melt into the cool light of the early autumn morning.
As if sensing her gaze, Bai Xiu woke up from her meditation and smiled at her, "Are you awake?"
"Hmm. Fang Xin nodded, only feeling that his smile was more dazzling than the morning light, so he didn't dare to look at him, and quietly buried his face in the soft quilt.
Indescribable feelings spread between the two, and no one spoke for a while.
After a while, Fang Xin sat up, lowered his head to arrange the quilt, and whispered, "I should go, otherwise it will be bad when someone finds out." ”
Bai Xiu wanted to keep her, but she didn't know how to speak, so she had to say, "Then I'll send you back." ”
Fang Xin couldn't help but be overjoyed, but still said, "No need, your injuries haven't healed yet...... I—I'll come back to see you when I'm free. ”
"Good. Hearing that she had already left, Bai Xiu was a little stunned.
He stood up, walked to the window, raised his head slightly—he could feel the caress of the morning light despite the darkness before him—and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Fang Xin's feelings for him and his feelings for Fang Xin, he was clear, but he never had a clue how to go in the future.
For feelings, he will never be as free and easy as his second brother, and for the future, he has much more things to think about than others.
"There is no way to eliminate this situation, so I frowned, but I was in my heart-"
He was thinking wildly when a chant suddenly sounded outside the window.
Bai Che stood across the window with him, looked at him with interest, and quipped: "What do you think, you haven't responded to several times? Could it be that you are missing which girl?"
That's really strange, tell me, which beauty made your elm head open?"
Bai Xiu came back to her senses and calmly changed the topic: "Second brother, you came to me so early, what's the matter?"
"Of course I'm here to see if you're better. Bai Che followed his words, and immediately realized that something was wrong, and said in surprise, "No, you are so weak-hearted, could it be that you really like which girl?"
