The teacher and student fell into an eerie silence.
They are both stubborn people, and they are all dedicated to the good of each other, so they all have their own persistence.
In the end, Bailirui was defeated first.
He leaned back on the chair a little dejectedly, with a bit of hesitation and loss in his eyes.
"Ya'er, I regret it a little."
He said and looked at her with a complicated expression.
"Teacher, I feel that the most fortunate thing in my life is to have a teacher like you."
She knelt down and looked up at her teacher.
When she first came to this world, apart from Long Tianyu, only her teacher gave her the warmth like a loving father.
And now, the more she has, the more she cherishes those pure kindnesses.
Therefore, she will definitely respect the teacher's opinion, but she cannot let the teacher take care of everything for herself.
"Oh, you girl, you can fool me with your words. Anyway, in fact, you will know these things sooner or later."
After Bai Lirui sighed, he told a story from the past.
"Ever since I became sensible, I have known that the successive heads of the Gong family are all genius masters of the poison sect. But my father warned me that once there is any change in the fairy city, the first one to be destroyed is the lineage of the Gong family head. "
This, however, made her somewhat unexpected.
Blinking her big watery eyes, she looked at the teacher in confusion.
The latter shook his head, looking a little unnatural, but still insisted: "The top ten aristocratic families are just names for people on the ground. In fact, in addition to the Gong family and the four royal families, there are also several forces A transcendent family. And our lineage is called the Guardian."
In fact, she had some vague speculations about this matter.
Of the so-called top ten families, there are only a few that can truly compete with the Immortal City.
Although the Gong family has been in decline for a period of time, it has Shi Yu and has become the nemesis of the fairy city.
All things are interdependent and mutually reinforcing.
The fairy city has been at peace with the ground for thousands of years, so why is it now showing its ambitions
Rather, it would be better to say that the things or people that are taboo in the Immortal City are slowly dying out.
The Gong family counts as one, so where are the others
Now, she finally knew some secrets.
"How old my family is, probably no one can tell clearly. I only know that the task of each generation is to protect the head of the Gong family. Before, your grandmother suddenly left Weiguo. My father also left with her, but after losing After hearing the news about your grandmother, we have been keeping our names anonymous and are secretly looking for news about you."
In fact, sometimes, even Bai Lirui laments the coincidence of fate.
At first, he only thought that he had found a good prospect that was rare to see in a century, but he did not expect that this person was actually the target that he had to monitor.
His heart was tortured for a time, but in the end, he still couldn't resist his love for her.
I thought I would never mention this matter again in my life.
Unexpectedly, it is still difficult to stop the arrangement of fate.
Hearing this, Lin Mengya also felt that the teacher was joking.
"Guardian, what is that?"
Mentioning this, Bai Lirui suddenly said seriously: "The guardian is one of the guardians of the entire ground force. Originally, our family's duty was to ensure order between the ground and the fairy city. However, my family Betrayal of the identity of the Guardian."
She had some guesses, but she wasn't sure.
Until the teacher confirmed it himself.
"That's right. The current Baili family is one of the guardians. When my father went to find your grandmother, he personally entrusted the task of guardianship to the previous head of the Baili family. However, he You betrayed my father and colluded with Xiancheng!"
No wonder the teacher has always been unkind to the Baili family.
The reason for the commotion for a long time was this.
"Then you don't want me to revive the poisonous sect because you're afraid that the Baili family has something about my identity that might be detrimental to me?"
"No. Regarding the mystery of the identity of the head of the Gong family, my father has never told me in detail. The reason why I want to stop you is because if you want to revive the poisonous family, you have to sign an agreement with the Baili family. Agreement. When the time comes, I’m afraid it will be detrimental to you.”
"Agreement, what agreement?"
The teacher looked at her as if she had something to hide.
Lin Mengya was not in a hurry and just looked at the other party calmly.
"The content of the agreement is that the Baili Family will plant a poison in your body that can control your heart in exchange for their protection of your identity. Do you think the Baili Family will still protect you now? "
To control the heart, to put it bluntly, is to hand over the power of life and death into the hands of the other party.
Maybe the Baili family in the past could be trusted, but now the Baili family almost wants to kill her quickly.
How could she possibly give up her life willingly
"Then what if I don't obey?"
"In the past, as long as the head of the Gong family became a poison doctor, he had to sign this agreement with the guardian. Otherwise, the Baili family would deal with the head of the Gong family. If the head of the Gong family disobeyed, it would be considered a rebellion and needed to be eliminated. .”
The teacher said these things very painfully.
If their relationship was just that of a guardian and a person under surveillance, then both of them probably wouldn't feel any difficulty.
However, she is the teacher's favorite student, and the teacher is also the person she respects the most.
As a result, it will be difficult for them to treat each other with the most objective attitude.
Lin Mengya knew that the teacher did not want her to be in danger.
But the Baili family must have known these things to set a trap for her.
It's okay if she doesn't go, but if she goes, she will definitely be controlled by others.
After thinking about it, she said softly: "Teacher, why do you think that all the family heads in the past generations will definitely listen to the Baili family?"
The teacher hesitated for a moment and then said: "Because the Baili family is the nemesis of the head of the Gong family. My father told me this. He said that without a head of the Gong family, whether it is wisdom or poisonous skills, they are the best in the world. The best. But our Baili family has a unique method of restraining the head of the Gong family."
Sure enough.
The heads of the Gong family in the past dynasties actually bear pressures that outsiders cannot imagine.
Not only do they have to face the fertility squeeze of the fairy city, but even if they have talents that others don't have, they still have to be supervised by others.
However, they never dreamed that those seemingly weak women would use their intelligence to make preparations to escape their fate.
"Then, does the Baili family know about this now?"
"this... ... "
The teacher hesitated.
"My father left in a hurry. Although he left everything to the current Baili family, he might not reveal the secrets of dealing with the head of the Gong family."
"Then, even you
Don’t you even know? "
After saying this, the teacher sighed.
"I am an unfilial son. At first, my father took a deep breath and wanted to tell me this matter, but because of Yunzhu's incident, I missed seeing my father for the last time. Maybe this is the secret of my life. There must be a certain number.”
After saying that, the teacher was stunned, as if he had thought of something.
Lin Mengya looked at the teacher's stunned look and asked softly: "Teacher? Teacher? What are you thinking of?"
After a while, the teacher's face turned ugly.
"Perhaps, the meeting between me and Yunzhu was not just a romantic encounter on a snowy night."
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
The teacher sorted out what happened at the beginning and tried to explain the doubts.
"When Yunzhu and I first met, my father was indeed in poor health. But when I finally returned home, my father had passed away. At that time, I asked my family why they didn't treat my father who was seriously ill. The news was sent to me by letter. The servants at home said that they did send me a letter, but for some reason, I didn’t get any news back. Now thinking about it, maybe my father sent me a letter, but he received it. I am not the one who believes.”
They looked at each other and saw a bit of chill in each other's eyes.
What if Yunzhu was arranged to be with the teacher by someone thoughtful
What if those original letters had passed through Yunzhu's hands and ended up in the hands of other people
If the teacher's father had mistakenly believed in someone when he was dying.
She couldn't help but shudder.
Could it be that there are some things that have been opened in a big net in the past, just waiting for you to throw yourself into it
"No! You can't even go to Baili's house! If they really find out this secret, wouldn't it be very dangerous for you?"
Now, it's too late to regret.
Bai Lirui only knows that nothing bad can happen to his little apprentice!
"Teacher, please calm down first."
This is not the first time she has met Baili's family.
The last time they were in the temple, they had already fallen out.
But at that time, the head of the Baili family did not cause any trouble to her.
In that case, if the head of the Baili family knew his secret, he would definitely use it against him.
Absolutely not, let yourself develop until now.
Therefore, it is very possible that the head of the Baili family does not know the specific things.
So, what news did they get from the teacher's father
"I think they may not know how to deal with me. But if I don't go, I'm afraid they will not only be detrimental to my father, but they will also come up with other ways to deal with me and the Gong family."
She thought as she spoke.
"According to what you and my great-grandfather said, a competition between the poison sect and the medicine sect has not happened for a long time. The Baili family should know the current strength of the poison sect better than I do, so why do they do this? It's more like Yes, it is completely creating an opportunity and excuse for me to revive the poisonous family."
Although Bai Lirui still disagrees, he will think according to her ideas.
"You mean, their target is probably not just you?"
Nodding, she continued: "Think about it, almost all the poisonous sect families are now hiding and recuperating. If someone wants to completely get rid of everyone else in the poisonous sect, what is the most convenient way?"
