After Chen Can finished speaking, Bai Nan exploded. Just as he was about to fight back, Bai Tang grabbed him and signaled him not to speak with his eyes. He could only stare at the little girl, but he heard Bai Tang's smiling voice next to his ear: " You are sister-in-law's daughter, right? It's really good that sister-in-law taught you. "
After hearing her words, Chen Can's face changed, he let go of Gu Yan's arm, and ran back to his mother in a few steps.
Bai Jingqiu's face was not good-looking, Baitang's words directly implied that her daughter taught her to say such words, and then smiled at Bai's father, "Second brother is back, I thought you would stick to what I said before. , I won't go back to Bai's house again. These are my nephew and niece, they look alike and have similar temperaments. "
There was something in Bai Jingqiu's words, except for Bai Nan who knew nothing about anything, everyone else knew that this lookalike was not referring to Papa Bai. Papa Bai seemed not to understand, nodded in agreement and said, "After all, it's my own child, it will always look a little more like it." Then, his eyes turned to the old man Bai who had been silent and let them make a fuss first, his voice became softer, "Dad, I'm back."
Old Man Bai raised his gaze slightly, looking from Baitang's position, the old man showed very little warmth on his face. In fact, old man Bai also valued his children's abilities more than their blood relationship. Back then, because of his outstanding ability, he favored his father more.
Therefore, Baitang didn't understand why Papa Bai came back, but later he understood a little bit.
"Stay with peace of mind when you come back." After a pause, old man Bai said again, "I'll find someone to see if there's anything else you can do about your leg."
"Thank you, Dad." When it comes to understanding the old man, it is natural that Dad Bai, a man who is a son, knows better. "Tangtang, Xiao Nan."
Both Bai Tang and Bai Nan understood, and called "Grandpa" and "Sister-in-law" to the old man and Bai Jingqiu seriously.
Old Master Bai's eyes fell on Bai Nan first, and he frowned when he saw his and Bai Tang's hands holding each other. Looking at Baitang again, the little girl and his gaze didn't show any timidity, but the frank one had a somewhat different aura, so I couldn't help but pay more attention to it unexpectedly. "Come here."
Bai Nan glanced at Bai Tang in a small arc, and Bai Tang squeezed his hand, and the two walked in front of the old man together. The old man took out two red envelopes and stuffed them into their hands, "It's the first time we meet, grandpa doesn't know what you like, so this is a gift."
The siblings said "Thank you Grandpa" in unison again, but Baitang knew that the old man didn't like their siblings very much, but the other party was used to keeping a line, even if their backgrounds didn't please him, as long as she and the siblings Who is Bai Nan who can be useful to the Bai family, and the opinion of identity can be put aside at any time. This is also the reason why she was able to toss up in the Bai family back then.
Bai Nan didn't think as much as she did. She was no longer nervous when she got a thick stack of red envelopes, and was still thinking about what collectibles she could use for them.
"Uncle Bai, Second Brother and the others should be tired just after they came back. I'll send them upstairs to rest first."
"Wait," Bai Jingqiu called to stop Gu Yan, she turned her head to look at old man Bai, "Dad, it might not be suitable for second brother to live in the original room, why not live on the ground floor, and let Uncle Cheng know if you have anything to do?" It’s also easier to get up.”
The first floor of the Bai family villa is for the housekeeper and other servants.
There was a cold light in Baitang's eyes, and Gu Yan spoke before her, with a rare coldness in his voice: "Second Brother's room is just across from me, if there is anything wrong, I'm here too."
Bai Jingqiu didn't look at him, and continued to the old man: "I'm also thinking about my second brother, and I'm afraid that something will happen to him again."
"Grandpa, there is no elevator in the villa, how can Second Uncle go upstairs?"
Bai Nan glared at Chen Can again, but Bai Tang didn't stop the child's anger. After a lifetime, these people are all juniors in her eyes. She wants to get angry because of someone else's words, and she can't get out emotionally, but for this sister-in-law, she doesn't want to listen to it.
As the old man's only daughter, Bai Jingqiu has always been cautious and arrogant, and believes that a daughter can inherit the Bai family just like a son, even if she is a married daughter.
However, Bai Jingqiu unexpectedly found a man with no background in marriage. After marriage, the relationship between the couple has been good, but they have not been able to conceive. In the end, there was a Chen Can, and Bai Jingqiu loved her like a baby, and often brought his daughter back to Bai's house to stay for a while, so that the old man and his daughter could develop a little grandparent relationship.
"Third Sister, if you find it inconvenient to live upstairs, you can also come down." Gu Yan brought the old man back to the Bai family when he was in his forties, and claimed to be the son of an old friend who came to help out because of an accident. upbringing. But in the eyes of outsiders, they think that Gu Yan is the old man's illegitimate son, and old friends are just an excuse for other children to accept him with confidence.
But the old man didn't respond to these rumors, instead he favored Gu Yan everywhere, which made the rumors more solid. Therefore, Bai Jingyang and Bai Jingqiu also believed in the rumor that Gu Yan was an illegitimate child, they were very repulsive to him, and secretly guarded against him coming to fight for the family property.
Dad Bai was the only one among the brothers who accepted and took care of Gu Yan sincerely. At that time, Dad Bai was ten years older than Gu Yan, and taking care of Gu Yan was almost the same as taking care of a son. Over the past few years, Gu Yan naturally has the closest relationship with Papa Bai.
"If I have inconvenient legs, of course I will choose to live downstairs." Bai Jingqiu has long been used to the position of these two people standing on the same line, and he was only annoyed when he heard Gu Yan's words, "Cancan, you still have homework I haven't finished it yet, go upstairs and do my homework."
"Then I'm going to do my homework, Grandpa." After Chen Can said goodbye to Mr. Bai, he greeted everyone present before going upstairs.
"I am like this now, upstairs and downstairs are the same."
"I'm not old yet, I have my own arrangements for the room." Only then did Old Man Bai say: "Old Cheng, take Second Young Master upstairs."
"Yes, sir."
Cheng Bo pushed Dad Bai to the original storage room, and then a remodeled elevator appeared in front of everyone. Father Bai turned his head to look in the direction of the living room, and Bai Jingqiu was talking about something while holding his arm.
"It turns out that Grandpa has already prepared it." Bai Nan finally smiled, and he secretly said to Bai Tang, "It seems that Grandpa still loves Dad."
Bai Tang smiled, Papa Bai's legs are not working, but Papa Bai's mind is still there. "go in."
This villa has four floors in total, Papa Bai's room is on the third floor, and Bai Tang and Bai Nan's rooms are arranged next to Papa Bai and Gu Yan's. After Papa Bai made the arrangements, the siblings also took the luggage brought by the servant back to their room to pack it.
Baitang's room is right next to Papa Bai's. The layout inside is the same as the one she stayed in before, and it's still fresh and full of girlish air. At that time, seeing this arrangement that was not too pink but very suitable for girls' hearts, Baitang felt that this strange grandpa was paying attention to them, and thought he was a good grandpa.
When I was young, everything was too sweet. Baitang took out the clothes in the suitcase and hung them up in the closet one by one. Not long after, Bai Nan knocked on her door. As soon as he came in, he talked excitedly about the layout of the room. Baitang understood his feelings very well. After all, the furniture and furnishings in the room they used to live in hadn't been changed for more than ten years, and it was not as exquisite as that of Bai's house.
"I think grandpa and that Uncle Cheng are not bad, but I don't like that sister-in-law and her daughter. They always speak with thorns and laugh at dad." After he stopped praising the room, Bai Nan changed the topic to the Bai family. on several people. "By the way, they don't live here too, do they?" The child showed a very uncomfortable expression.
"You should ask other people this question. Like you, I came to Bai's house for the first time today."
Bai Nan sighed heavily, "I just don't like them. What do you think happened to Dad before? Why did you come back now?" Bai Nan also asked Bai's father in private, but Bai's father just kept the topic Turn around so that he can't ask half a word.
"I will always know." At this time, the door was knocked again, and it was Gu Yan who came.
"If there is anything you are not used to in the layout of the room, you can tell me or Uncle Cheng." The siblings said that they are all fine and don't need to change, Gu Yan said again, "You don't have to worry about the third sister, she doesn't care about it either. Live here often."
Bai Nan immediately beamed with joy, Gu Yan went to see Bai Tang, still with that calm expression of indifference, couldn't help but flash past the words that Bai Jingyang said about Bai Tang in the hospital, "I have the same temperament as my second brother".
This girl doesn't have the same temperament as the second brother. Gu Yan put away the thoughts in his heart, took out two brocade boxes from his pocket and gave them to his siblings, "This is the gift that Second Uncle should have given you the first time we met."
"Thank you, Uncle." Bai Nan accepted it unceremoniously and opened it to look. Inside was a small Jade Guanyin, and the texture of the jade even a complete layman like Bai Nan knew that it was an excellent jade.
Baitang has experienced it once, so she is not surprised. Jade can support people, and hers is a Jade Buddha. However, the moment she held the Jade Buddha in her hand, she felt a wave of energy in it, and subconsciously touched Bai Nan's Jade Guanyin. There was no energy at all, it was just an ordinary piece of good jade.
The next moment, the Yuanhun fluctuated violently, as if something was about to come out of it. Baitang's face changed slightly, he found an excuse to invite Bai Nan and Gu Yan out, sat on the bed and began to check his soul.
As a result, the Jade Buddha in the brocade box suddenly floated into the air. Baitang didn't have time to feel the abnormality of the Jade Buddha. He only felt a sting from Yuanhun, and something flew out of it. It was the one that killed her. Can Jian.
Bai Tang looked at the unlucky broken sword with hatred, and saw that the broken sword and the Jade Buddha were entangled together, emitting layers of halos to wrap them inside. Baitang tried Yuanhun, but still couldn't see the changes inside. When he could see, the halo outside also dissipated, and the broken sword and Jade Buddha inside were gone. A simple mirror and some scraps of jade.
Baitang stared at the mirror that fell into his hand, with a tangled expression. If she knew from the beginning that this broken sword came with her original soul, even if half of her soul power was lost, she would turn the culprit into scum.
Now... Baitang got out of bed to get a knife.
The bright red blood dripped on the mirror, almost dyeing the entire mirror red, but there was still no tendency to be absorbed. Baitang had no choice but to end the self-harm. After thinking for a while, after treating the wound, he turned to use the original soul to sacrifice the mirror.
Without a body with spiritual power, the sacrifice of the original soul was more than twice as slow as before. This was because Can Jian had stayed in the original soul for a long time before. Otherwise, Baitang might not be able to refine even if he exhausted his soul power. Finally letting the mirror recognize its master, Baitang consumed more than half of his soul power.
Looking at the mirror again, Baitang suddenly remembered that she happened to be holding the Jade Buddha that Gu Yan had given her in her hand during the accident she encountered before transmigrating to the realm of self-cultivation. Then there was an accident, and it seemed like blood was flowing on it.
She originally thought that she was luckier than others, and that she could go to the cultivation world to live for a while if she died, but now she thought it was probably because of this Jade Buddha.
But what made Baitang vomit blood was that the mirror was still incomplete, so she still didn't know the origin and specific function of the mirror, let alone what the power in the Jade Buddha was. The only information I got is that this mirror is a pair, which can communicate across boundaries, and even find another mirror that can transmit energy across boundaries.
It sounds awesome, but it's really bad for Baitang. One of them has no jade or spiritual power to maintain the energy of this mirror every time it is turned on. in whose hands. Furthermore, the mirror didn't tell her what materials or energy was needed to complete it.
Baitang looked at himself in the mirror, and he looked exhausted again, and his heart suddenly felt overwhelmed. More than half of her soul power was wasted thinking that she could use this fairy weapon to re-cultivate, but in the end, she just didn't have that life.
Just thinking about it, Baitang saw that he had disappeared from the mirror, replaced by a somewhat familiar mountain peak.
