"Miss, this is the most primitive scenery around City S." Han Xiu pointed to the mountains in front and introduced to Baitang, "Originally a wealthy businessman in this area wanted to develop a tourist attraction. There is no one to take over the order, so it has been abandoned until now." When Baitang asked him to take her to a scenic area around S city with no artificial traces, although he was puzzled, he put down what he was doing and rushed to pick up the person as soon as possible.
Baitang raised his head and looked over, and it was indeed as Han Xiu said, it had been in disrepair for a long time, these mountains were already overgrown with weeds, and there was no special scenery to attract attention. She let go of Yuanhun and slowly expanded the range to sense every plant and tree here. However, except that the air was fresher than the city, there was no signal of spiritual energy fluctuations.
She took back the released soul power, turned her head, and Han Xiu's face changed from the vigor and liveliness before, a little pale, and the expression on it still had the horror that he hadn't had time to take back. She raised her eyebrows in surprise, "What's wrong, you don't feel well?" A person with ordinary qualifications is actually so sensitive mentally.
Han Xiu shook his head hastily. At the moment just now, he felt a tremendous pressure enveloped his surroundings. At that moment, he had a premonition that if he rashly wanted to fight against this inexplicable pressure, he would be instantly killed without any resistance. It was hard for him to believe that the source of this pressure came from Baitang. "Miss, do you want to go up for a walk?"
"No, are there other places like this? Or," Baitang paused, "is there any special place, for example, people don't want to go there."
"As far as I know, this area should be the only one with such an original ecology. As for the special place," Han Xiu frowned after recovering from her words, "I need to find someone to find out about this."
"Then go back first, and let me know if you find anything."
"I'll get back to you as soon as possible."
Bai Tang nodded, and the two returned to the parking place together. When she came out this time, she wanted to see if there were any hidden spiritual energy cultivation places around S City. If there were, she didn't have to look far away. As a result, it turns out that there are few places with even mountains, and there will be no aura.
"Miss, what kind of reason do you mean by the place that others don't want to go?" After driving the car for a certain distance, Han Xiu thought of this question, and decided to ask more clearly to know what the other party needs.
"Feng Shui, or not clean."
After hearing this, Han Xiu suppressed the surprise in his heart, "If it is such a place, we should be able to find it soon." Han Xiu still has a little understanding of Feng Shui, knowing that people with real skills can really rely on it. Feng Shui rectifies people with one hand. But it's not clean, he doesn't believe it as a martial arts student, but he didn't expect the other party to be interested in this.
Back in the city, not long before noon, Han Xiu suggested that the two of them have lunch outside before taking her back to Bai's house. Bai Tang had no objection to this proposal, and the two went to a nearby Chinese restaurant and sat down.
"Hey, I'm really unlucky. Didn't I just receive a report and ask the second young master of the Bai family to ask a few questions. At that time, the editor-in-chief was also supportive. Fortunately, he continues to be his editor-in-chief, but I have to suspend my job for a few days. Tell me , What is the difference between this suspension and being fired?"
"Who told you to be a small reporter, and the other party is the young master of the Bai family. These people have different fates."
Baitang narrowed his eyes, and pushed the ordered menu back to Han Xiu who was opposite. Han Xiu's cultivation base is not high, but warriors have good hearing. They sat in a semi-enclosed cubicle, so he heard every word from the next table.
"Who said it wasn't? Otherwise, he is a young master with both legs disabled, what is he relying on?" The person who spoke was the reporter that Baitang saw in the video last night, named Qian Wei. "If you ask me, he disappeared for more than ten years before coming back. If he didn't have any revenge on his ex-wife, I would never believe it. The result I have now must have poked his heart."
"Back then, Shen Manqin made him fall so badly, it would be strange if he pretended nothing happened."
"No, I can't swallow this tone. We reporters are in this business. Why can't I say it when I come to him. He won't let me say it, so I just want everyone to know! My brother said to his mother A half-sister stabbed a knife, is there anything better than this? Anyway, the people below have been interested in the private lives of those above who are always superior for a long time.”
"Miss, do you want me to teach them a lesson?" Hearing this, Han Xiu asked Baitang.
Baitang smiled slightly, called Han Xiu over and whispered, "Wait a minute, you do this."
Han Xiu listened and nodded.
Afterwards, Han Xiu pressed the calling bell to order food. After ordering, he stood up and walked out with the waiter.
"There is one more thing. Young Master Han asked me to tell Miss that the Zhao family's actions have been a little frequent recently. He is alone and weak, so it is inevitable that there will be negligence. Let Miss take more care of you."
Bai Tang had already received the news from Zhao Hong, so he was not too surprised by these words. What's more, Zhao Hong was Han Shaozhe's first negligence if he really wanted to mention negligence. "Tell him, I will go to city b when the holiday comes."
Only now did Han Xiu realize that Baitang was still a student, and he couldn't help but sigh. If he didn't mention this sentence, he would almost forget that the girl in front of him was a teenage junior high school student. "When the time comes, let me accompany you to City B. I know you well." But thinking of Han Shaozhe still in City B, Han Xiu was a little embarrassed when he said the second half of the sentence.
"I'll let you know if necessary."
"Then I'll wait for Miss's notice." Han Xiu said with a smile, directly accepting Baitang's words.
Bai Tang didn't care, and soon, the few dishes they ordered were served. During the period, Han Xiu went out again.
"Buy the bill."
"Buy the bill."
When the two of them were halfway through eating, Qian Wei and the table opposite asked the waiter to pay the bill. Immediately, two waiters came to serve them and check out for each table. The table opposite came sooner. There was a man and a woman sitting at this table. The woman was young and beautiful, and the man was a little older and a bit bloated.
Fat Brother smiled at his girlfriend, reached out to take out his trouser pocket, his expression changed suddenly. The waiter repeated the amount of the bill, and the fat man looked at his girlfriend who was waiting for him to pay with a smile. He touched all the pockets on his body, and took a tissue from the table to wipe his face. Finally, he stood up and said to the waiter, "Excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom first."
The waiter vaguely guessed something, but it was hard to stop him. Anyway, there was only one person sitting here, so he smiled and said "it doesn't matter". Fat Brother felt relieved, opened his seat and walked up the aisle. A waiter also came from Qian Wei's side. He took out a black wallet and prepared to pay the bill.
The fat guy glanced at him, and immediately stared round, walked quickly to his table, pressed the wallet in Qian Wei's hand, and shouted: "So my wallet is here with you! Why is the wallet missing? It turned out to be stolen by you, a thief."
Qian Wei was stunned the moment he took out the wallet. Although the wallet was the same color, it was not his wallet. Subconsciously glanced at the friend across the way, he turned to the fat man who was looking at him with an angry face, and said politely: "I picked up this wallet on the ground when I went out, and I planned to hand it over to the restaurant when I checked out. Help find the owner. This gentleman, you say this wallet is yours, do you have any evidence?"
In fact, Qian Wei didn't know how his wallet became someone else's wallet at all, but at this moment, he couldn't say "I don't know", he could only say that it was a lost property he picked up.
"There's my ID card inside." After the fat man said this, he still looked at Qian Wei unkindly, "You said you picked it up, did anyone see it? You have to pay when I come over, right? Then why did my wallet come out first?"
"Of course, hand over the lost property to the restaurant."
"Then you pay the bill first, and then we'll talk about the wallet."
Hearing this, Qian Wei's expression paused, and he gave his friend a sneaky look. The fat brother is also a fine person, caught his little movements, and sneered, "Can't get it out? I've never seen people who come here to eat and do such petty theft." Then he didn't grab Qian Wei again, He took out his mobile phone and called the police station to call the police.
"Sir, my friend made it very clear that he picked up the wallet. Isn't it inappropriate for you to call the police?" The person who came out to speak was Qian Wei's friend named Xiao Li.
"Why did you get into a fight with someone?" Fat Brother's girlfriend heard the movement and came over.
The fat guy patted his girlfriend's hand reassuringly, "It's no big deal, I won't admit to stealing my wallet, insisting on saying that he picked it up on the ground."
"Ah? How can you be like this? Have you called the police?"
"Reported."
At this time, the manager who was notified by the waiter at Fat Brother's table rushed over. Fat Brother is a regular customer here, so the manager greeted him politely a few times, and when he turned back to face Qian Wei, his attitude was different. It's a little bit different. "Sir, this matter has been reported to the police. I hope you don't make it difficult for us. Go sit with us in the lounge in the back hall for a while. When the police come to find out the truth, if it has nothing to do with you, they will naturally pay you back." clean."
"Are you sure that I stole the wallet?" Qian Wei was also angered by this unreasonable disaster, and his tone couldn't be restrained, "I said I picked it up, so what certificate is needed!"
Following their quarrel, many people have already looked towards their table, and some even took out their mobile phones to take pictures.
Bai Tang put down his chopsticks slowly, while Han Xiu who was opposite had already put down his chopsticks, seeing that she was full, he summoned the waiter to pay the bill. After paying the bill, neither of them deliberately stayed for a while to pay attention to the progress next door, and left the restaurant directly. Shortly after they left, a reporter walked into the restaurant with his press card away.
"Miss, the Bai family is here."
Bai Tang opened his eyes from a nap, then pushed the car door and walked out. Han Xiu hurriedly got out of the car and walked over, Baitang didn't have anything to tell him, so he let him go back first.
When Baitang walked a few steps into the gate, Gu Yan's car stopped beside her, and at the same time rolled down the window to look at her: "Get in the car."
Baitang opened the car door and sat in, "Didn't my dad come back with you?" I was still a little surprised that Gu Yan would come back at this afternoon.
"Your father still has something to deal with in the company." Bai Tang responded and didn't intend to speak out. Gu Yan asked again, "How is the matter with Bai Nan?" Bai Nan and Bai Tang talked about it He would investigate by himself, so he told Gu Yan about his plan, so Gu Yan didn't intervene too much, but paid more attention to the movements of the Su family than usual.
Bai Tang laughed, and shifted his gaze back to his face, "Don't you know one or two people from the police station? How is Bai Nan's going, I'm afraid you know better than my sister. I want to ask my uncle, did the police find out who did it?"
Gu Yan frowned lightly, and said what he knew: "There is too little evidence left at the scene, and the progress is not very satisfactory." The fingerprints of the performers and the fake props that were replaced have not been found until now. On the day of the incident, there were many people coming and going backstage. Except for Bai Nan, there was no second person who looked suspicious.
"It's been two days. The more this kind of thing drags on, the more difficult it is to investigate. When the time comes back to school, Bai Nan will not be able to get rid of the suspect's blame in a short time."
Gu Yan took a look at her from the rearview mirror, obviously speaking of worry and concern, but Baitang's face showed no signs of cooperative tension at all. "Sometimes, public opinion is more damaging than the truth. You are a sister, and you should think more about things that Bai Nan can't think about."
Baitang turned his head to one side, and replied in a completely different direction: "In the past few days, help me take care of my dad more."
"What happened?"
Baitang told him about the financial news he saw yesterday, "Whether someone deliberately targeted my dad or not, it's a fact that his legs are inconvenient. Please help me pay more attention when you can." The life-saving jade talisman she sent out was not a panacea. If she made a mistake in some details that she couldn't consider, she would have no place to regret it.
Gu Yan really didn't know about Bai's father being interviewed. Hearing what she said, he immediately realized that Bai Nan's matter was not as simple as he thought. If Dad Bai or the Bai family are involved behind the scenes, it will become difficult to solve this matter. "I see. I will investigate the matter involving the second brother. You don't have to worry about it."
Bai Tang nodded, suddenly, his expression changed slightly, he entered the villa by himself without too much greeting with Gu Yan when he arrived at the parking lot. All the way to his room, Baitang locked the door, and opened his mouth to the air in the room: "Have you found the boundary mirror?"
"It's still a little bit worse." It was Shen Tingjun's voice that answered her, "Who was the man who was with you just now?" With just one glance, Shen Tingjun saw a familiarity from Gu Yan. Eyes that were once too divine.
Bai Tang didn't expect Shen Tingjun's progress to be so fast, and it was when she was unprepared that the other party bumped into the scene of her and Gu Yan being together. She walked to the desk with some headaches and sat down. When she first met Shen Tingjun, her attitude towards him was always somewhat different from that of others because of Gu Yan's affairs. And this difference, Shen Tingjun couldn't understand it back then, but now seeing Gu Yan himself, there is nothing he can't understand with the other party's mind.
"This is my original home." Now that he had finished speaking, Baitang did not hide his plan from him, and gave a general overview of his time travel and rebirth.
"Then what about this man?" Shen Tingjun finally got all the answers to Baitang's contradictions with this explanation. Although I am delighted that Baitang really has no calculations or lies as promised to him before, but I can't let go of Gu Yan after all. "You saved me and took me in because of this man."
This is a fact, Baitang can't refute it.
Shen Tingjun laughed softly, but no one could hear the smile in the laughter, but it was bitingly cold. "Ah Tang, I really want to kill him right now." Bai Tang didn't answer his words, he said again, "But without him, the relationship between you and me wouldn't be what it is now." He didn't know anything about this completely strange world, so he was afraid that it would be bad for Baitang's situation if he acted rashly.
"Teenagers, what can they understand?"
"But in those years, he was the one who walked with you."
Hearing this, Baitang really couldn't talk about the past with Gu Yan back then, and he couldn't talk about it anymore. "You know what kind of temperament I am, so why bother about who was by my side in those years? It can't always be worth the decades you spent with me."
Only then did Shen Tingjun really smile, and the smile came out of his voice: "I know, he can't be in your eyes anymore." A mere mortal, with her state of mind, how could she treat him as an equal again? treat. "It's just that I always feel uncomfortable seeing you with him." Even if it was because of this man that he and A-Tang were brought together, he would not be grateful to him, let alone that this man had grown a pair with him. Divine eyes. As long as he sees him, he will remember the lingering affection she had for this man back then.
Baitang felt the fluctuation of his soul at this moment, and he could guess what he was thinking, so he stretched out his hand, "Do you remember what I said last time? Gu Yan's past, I can't erase it or deny it, but in this life, there are always a few periods in the past, which are my growth. And for such a long time in the future, I will only hand over my hand to yours."
Shen Tingjun's soul gradually calmed down, he wrapped his breath around Baitang's body, and said solemnly: "This is my honor."
Baitang smiled, and naturally changed the subject: "How long can your primordial soul last?"
"This is the first time. I'm not prepared enough. I'll be going back in a while." Shen Tingjun was able to cross the boundary because he forcibly borrowed the ability of the boundary mirror, because his boundary mirror was lacking compared to Baitang's. Therefore, more energy is required to cross the boundary. "You wait a few more days, and when I have found all the materials, I will send you spiritual power to help you practice."
"it is good."
In the following time, the two of them simply chatted about the culture of this world. Shen Tingjun absorbed it quickly, and before he left, he already had a general understanding of this era of technological civilization.
After Shen Tingjun's aura completely disappeared, Baitang took out his mobile phone and dialed Yang Jincheng's number. This time, Yang Jincheng was prepared, and there was no surprise about her call.
"I asked someone. Qian Wei went to his uncle for an interview after receiving an anonymous report." About Qian Wei, Yang Jincheng had received Baitang's request in advance, and now he was directly left in the police station. "The anonymous letter is a computer printout."
Bai Tang was not surprised by this result, "Can we find anything else from this anonymous letter?"
Yang Jincheng shook his head on the other end of the phone, and then realized that Baitang couldn't see his movements, so he replied, "He destroyed the anonymous letter."
Baitang was taken aback, "Except for this report letter, did he receive anything special?"
"I have asked them all, and there is no suspicious information." Yang Jincheng knew that Baitang wanted to find useful clues from Qian Wei. After all, something happened to their school the night before yesterday, and a reporter went to find Bai Jingyu the next day." The interview with the suspect's father was too coincidental and suspicious. "This only shows that the person behind the scenes is very clever." In turn, it also proves how innocent Bai Nan is.
"Thank you for your help at noon." Finally, Bai Tang expressed his gratitude to Yang Jincheng.
"I didn't help much either." Yang Jincheng replied honestly, "If there is anything else I can do, just ask."
After hanging up the phone, Baitang practiced in his room all afternoon.
In the evening, she was healing her injuries at Papa Bai's place as usual, and Papa Bai suddenly mentioned an incident not long ago: "Do you remember Zhao Zhongchen?"
"Remember."
"Last time, I didn't know that you could cultivate, so I didn't ask carefully. Now, can you tell Dad what happened that day?"
Baitang didn't expect Papa Bai to bring up this matter again, and she withdrew the spiritual power in her hand while replying: "Because of Uncle Zhou's relationship, I do have some minor grievances with him. What happened last time, Part of it is because of my cultivation."
Papa Bai's eyes tightened, "Will that set of exercises be so serious?"
Baitang showed a comforting smile, "Master left early, and I'm a beginner, so it's inevitable that I don't understand the exercises thoroughly, so... But, don't worry, I've already mastered the exercises. , nothing like last time will happen again.”
"When it comes to martial arts, you have to be more cautious. It doesn't mean that there will be no problems if you improve your cultivation base. At that time, the problems will only be bigger and more serious."
Baitang nodded seriously, "Master has also told me about these things, and I will keep them in mind."
Papa Bai listened to her words, pondered for a while, and then brought up the reason for this topic: "Papa wanted to keep Zhao Zhongchen behind, but he didn't expect that the person behind him was willing to pay a big price to keep him Come down. In this way, he will definitely put part of the blame on you, so you have to be careful." The person behind Zhao Zhongchen wanted to keep him after his identity was exposed, which shows that Zhao Zhongchen's attainments in Fengshui are not good. With such an ability, there will always be abilities that others can't think of.
Baitang also understood this point, "Don't worry, I will pay more attention, and you too."
Dad Bai smiled, "Is the tutor your uncle found for you okay? Do you need more tutors?" Dad Bai didn't pay much attention to Baitang's academic performance, as long as the child had fun learning just fine. But if the child wants to work hard, he will naturally support it with all his strength.
"No, Teacher Yu alone is enough, she teaches very well."
"Well, come to Dad if you need it."
After Bai Tang walked out of Papa Bai's room, he knocked on Bai Nan's door. When Bai Nan came to open the door, she was still talking on the phone, and it sounded like she was talking on the phone with Ji Mingqian.
"Then I'll trouble you, thank you." After saying this, Bai Nan hung up the phone, "Did you just get out of dad's place?"
"Well. How is your investigation going?"
Bai Nan went to the room with her and sat down. Hearing her question about the progress, she sighed with a bitter face: "What else can I do? It's hard to find out. There is so little evidence, so I can only start with the method of elimination." Bai Nan Without experience in this field, it is especially difficult to deal with it. "Ming Qian told me a method that is not a method. He said that he would go to the school to adjust the surveillance to see if he could find the suspicious person before the incident. He also said, When I go to school, I will call the surveillance to investigate again. I think that if the real murderer has a personal enmity with any of us, there will definitely be some clues. If you can’t find useful information from the surveillance, think about something else Method."
"His method is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack."
Bai Nan echoed and said: "I think so too. What's more, there are so many surveillance cameras installed in the school. He wants to watch all the videos. When will he watch them? So, I plan to watch the videos with him tomorrow. He was busy alone, and I, the client, did nothing."
"You don't have to worry about the police station, as long as you can't produce a death certificate, you can go and investigate with confidence." Bai Tang patted Bai Nan's shoulder lightly, and said with some meaning in his mouth, "Ji Mingqian, thank you very much People, not all friends will work so hard to help you find the truth when you are suspected of committing a crime."
Bai Nan was thanking Ji Mingqian, but of course he didn't notice the profound meaning in Baitang's words, and replied naturally: "I must thank him well, he is still the first friend I made in Qiming."
"In addition, although your current situation is worthy of sympathy, you can't slack off in cultivation, understand?"
"I spend time practicing every night, don't worry."
Afterwards, Bai Tang helped Bai Nan answer his doubts about cultivation, and when he returned to his room, a text message from Han Xiu arrived, which contained a few addresses relatively close to Bai's house, which she had mentioned during the day The haunted house and the so-called unclean house in the eyes of others.
