Chapter 239: The Secret of the Bai Family
The Bai family's bird flew smoothly above the clouds, and the rapid air currents that swept through the air not only continued to provide a steady upward force, but also helped it avoid most of the threats from the air.
Birds usually fly at an altitude of about 20,000 meters and can reach a maximum of 55,000 meters, and can swim freely under the middle layer of the earth's atmosphere, and can even briefly enter the middle layer to avoid the pursuit of natural predators.
Such a height is difficult for even the Endless Forest's air overlord moa to reach, unless it has a long-range attack method like the previous Flame Wave Bird, ordinary birds and beasts cannot threaten the safety of the Sky Bird at all.
It is precisely because of this unique ability that humans named this strange beast after the word "wandering in the sky", and tried their best to domesticate it into the most important means of long-distance transportation in the Cambrian.
"Lord Yan, Second Young Master asked me to inform you, we are about to arrive at the Eastern Gathering Place."
Yan Hua was standing on the observation deck in the cabin, looking thoughtfully at the planetary rings looming among the gray dust above his head, when he suddenly heard a respectful voice from behind.
Yan Hua looked back, and sure enough, it was the old man of the Bai family.
Compared with the previous rebelliousness, the old man seemed to have learned the identity of the seventh seat of the Yan Hua Court during the ten-day journey, so his attitude gradually became more humble.
All the changes seem to be very reasonable, but if Yan Hua hadn't learned from Bai Qi a long time ago, the old man would definitely know who Yan Hua was when they met for the first time, maybe he would have been fooled by such acting skills.
Before and after, there must be a plan!
Yan Hua didn't know what the old man wanted to do, but this did not prevent him from accompanying the other party to perform this scene.
"Got it." Yan Hua nodded, smiled and said, "I'll go back to the room and pack my luggage." ”
With that, he turned around and walked straight to his room.
Since it is determined that the old man has a plan, it should be the other party who is anxious.
Rather than wasting energy guessing the other party's intentions, Yan Hua prefers to wait for the opponent to show his hole cards first, so as to occupy a dominant position.
So he had to wait for an opportunity, and now is the best time to arrive at the eastern gathering place.
The old man bowed slightly, and when Yan Hua passed by him, there was obviously a hint of hesitation on his face hidden in the shadows, but he still didn't speak.
Yan Hua's pace was not fast, but it was also not slow, and the short walk from the observation deck to the door of the room was quickly completed.
Just when Yan Hua stretched out his hand and was about to open the door, the old man in the distance finally couldn't help it.
"Lord Yan, please stay!"
Yan Hua put away the smile on his face, turned his head and asked with a little surprise, "Is there anything wrong with the senior?" ”
The old man looked at Yan Hua's puzzled expression, suddenly hesitated, and finally seemed to have made up some kind of determination, gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Yan, I have something I want to ask you for help. ”
"Huh?"
Yan Hua was stunned for a moment, and then asked puzzledly, "Senior wants me to help?" ”
His reaction was not acting, he thought that the old man would be a warning or a threat to stop him, but he didn't expect the other party to come like this.
Now that he had already spoken, the old man also knew that he had no room for regret, so he simply nodded and admitted: "That's right, I do have something I want to ask Lord Yan." ”
Yan Hua looked at the old man for a while, and then opened the door in front of him without saying a word and walked in.
Seeing that Yan Hua refused himself without even asking, the old man couldn't help but feel anxious, and raised his feet to prepare to catch up.
At this moment, Yan Hua's voice suddenly came from the room: "Outside is not the place to talk, seniors should come in and talk." ”
The old man couldn't help but look happy when he heard this, and then walked towards the open door without thinking.
However, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Yan Hua sitting on a chair facing the door, staring at him with burning eyes.
Somehow, the old man suddenly became nervous. Especially the white-gold uniform of the adjudication court on Yan Hua's body made him feel like he was facing the head of the Bai family.
Bang!
The door behind the old man was suddenly slammed shut, and there was a muffled sound.
"Senpai, please take a seat."
Yan Hua first made a gesture of invitation to the old man whose pupils suddenly shrank, then touched the sky that was squatting back to the seat from behind the door, and said with a smile, "I want to hear what the senior wants me to help me with first?" ”
The old man took his eyes off the sky, slowly came to the seat in front of Yan Hua and sat down, looked directly at the other party and said, "I didn't want to trouble Lord Yan, but this matter is related to the Second Young Master, and you are a friend of the Second Young Master, so I can only ask you for help." ”
"Something to do with Bai Qi?"
Yan Hua frowned slightly, and asked in a calm tone, "What does the senior want me to do?" ”
The old man said in a deep voice: "I want to ask Lord Yan to stop the second young master from returning to the Bai family!" ”
Yan Hua's heart moved, and he asked knowingly, "Isn't Bai Qi the second young master of the Bai family?" Why can't you even go back to your own home? ”
The old man didn't know what Yan Hua was thinking, so he had to reply honestly: "Because the head of the family is not in the family now, the Bai family is currently ruled by the eldest young master, and the eldest young master wants to kill the second young master!" ”
Yan Hua's eyes widened, and he pretended to be surprised and asked, "How can this be?" Aren't they their own brothers? And how did you find out about this? ”
"Although the eldest young master and the second young master are brothers, the relationship between them has always been the same, and as long as they meet, there will be conflicts."
The old man now has a request for others, and he has just been shaken by Yan Hua's momentum, and now he knows everything: "I always thought that the two young masters were just some contradictions, and they were never to the point of life and death."
But I didn't expect that since a few months ago, after the eldest young master returned to the family, he asked me, who stayed in the southern gathering place, to report to him all the whereabouts of the second young master.
In particular, there is information about the current strength of the second young master, and the eldest young master also compulsorily ordered me to report to him every once in a while, which is obviously trying to make a move on the second young master. ”
Yan Hua's eyes froze, but he slowly shook his head and said: "In the end, this is just a guess drawn from your thoughts, maybe the eldest young master of the Bai family is actually just concerned about his younger brother, so he will let you report Bai Qi's situation to him." ”
Seeing that Yan Hua didn't believe it, the old man said in a resolute tone: "This is absolutely impossible!" Because there is an irreconcilable hatred between the eldest young master and the second young master......"
The old man, who was just halfway through his words, suddenly realized that he had accidentally slipped his mouth, and a look of panic flashed in his eyes, interrupting his words.
However, Yan Hua didn't intend to let go of the other party, looked directly into the other party's eyes and said, "What the predecessor just said seems to conflict with the small contradiction in the previous sentence!" ”
The old man unnaturally avoided the oncoming gaze, and replied with flickering words: "Maybe it's because I'm old, so I don't have a preface to say something, Lord Yan, please don't mind." ”
In the face of the old man's lie, Yan Hua didn't break it, but just showed a relieved look and said: "Since the seniors are sure that there is only a small friction between Bai Qi and Bai Lu, then I don't have to worry about Bai Qi's safety." ”
Hearing Yan Hua's refusal, the old man couldn't help but show an anxious look on his face, but it was too difficult to let him tell the story.
Because that matter not only involved Bai Qi and Bai Ji, but also involved Bai Mo, the head of the Bai family, and the entire Bai family!
Even if this matter was already an open secret to everyone in the Bai family, and even the other families in the Eastern Gathering Area might know this secret to some extent, he still didn't want to say it.
Even if the opposite side is the seventh seat of the adjudication court, or it is precisely because Yan Hua is now the seventh seat of the adjudication court, he can't say it.
The old man made up his mind not to say another word, but Yan Hua saw the old man's hidden hesitation in his heart from the other party's action of still sitting and not leaving.
"Bai Qi is my companion after all, and I will still be on his side."
Yan Hua looked at the look of surprise on the old man's face, and said slowly, "But I came to the Eastern Gathering Place this time to shoulder the task of the Cambrian Academy, and it is destined to be impossible to put too much energy into the Bai family.
If I can't understand the situation in advance, it will be difficult for me to persuade Bai Qi with confidence, let alone pay attention to his safety after he insists on going back. ”
The smile on the old man's face slowly faded.
Under Yan Hua's deliberate guidance, he suddenly realized that if he wanted to protect Bai Qi, he had to make the newly promoted seventh seat of the adjudication court in front of him realize what kind of dangerous situation Bai Qi was facing.
Otherwise, even if the other party agreed to his request, if Bai Qi decided to kill Bai Qi because of that matter, the outcome of the matter would still not change in any way.
"Actually, about the matter between Bai Qi and Bai Lu, I have also heard Bai Qi mention some things."
Yan Hua knew that the old man had begun to waver, and then said, "If the senior is as willing to believe me as Bai Qi, I absolutely promise that I will not reveal what you say next to anyone." ”
"I ......" the old man looked at Yan Hua with a sincere face, his Adam's apple moved up and down, and asked in a difficult tone, "You can really promise not to say it." ”
"Of course!" Yan Hua replied categorically.
"Good! I believe you! ”
The old man took a deep breath and said in a heavy tone, "Actually, it's not just the eldest young master who wants to kill the second young master, the second young master has always wanted to kill the eldest young master to take revenge, and the hatred between them was formed ten years ago.
And the origin of the hatred is that ten years ago, the eldest young master killed his biological mother with his own hands in front of the second young master because of an accident that caused the crazy blood to get out of control! ”
"Ahh
Yan Hua couldn't help but stand up from his seat, a look of disbelief on his face.
Because he was too shocked, Yun Ling almost lost his grasp of the mental labyrinth, and almost made the old man on the other side wake up from the illusion.
......
When the old man returned to his room, he only remembered that Yan Hua readily agreed to his request, but did not give any guarantee that it would succeed.
The old man was naturally not very satisfied with this result, but he didn't say anything more. After all, unless Yan Hua was told about that incident, it was impossible for the other party to realize the danger of Bai Qi's trip.
However, Yan Hua, as the seventh seat of the adjudication court, is an outsider, so he will never reveal half a word to him.
"Alas! It's about the rise and fall of the head of the family and the entire Bai family, and that's all I can do. The old man looked at a building on the horizon in the distance and sighed to himself, "Madam, I hope you don't blame me." ”。
Since Yun Ling devoured Chang Jidi's remaining spiritual power in Xinghai Academy, the strength of his spiritual power has reached the level of a five-star peak.
The old man's strength was only at the five-star level, and he was not a superpower of the spiritual department, so he didn't realize that he had told everything to a person who couldn't tell him at all.
