#348 - Xu Chengxian, are you there?
The next day.
The Bai family announced that the matriarch was seriously ill.
Barring any unforeseen events, a funeral should be held in a few days at most.
As for who was hidden at that time, or how many were buried in the grave, Xu Chengxian had no idea.
Nor did he care.
Neither Pan Mengdie nor Lin Rumeng should care either.
After all, death extinguishes a person like a lamp.
Even what exactly happened fifteen years ago, few people still want to get to the bottom of it.
At least the Bai family and the Pan family, who were involved, both wanted to stop the matter there.
As long as Bai Chengyou is still alive, and the two families have the prerequisite of being bound together, then the relationship of marriage will not only not be affected in any way, but will become more stable as a result.
"Not asking? I was wondering why no one was talking about this matter." Da Hei was very depressed, "This venerable one still wanted to hear what happened fifteen years ago."
As a result, no one in the Governor's Mansion or the Bai Mansion mentioned it.
Not even in private, so there was nowhere for it to eavesdrop.
"Few people know about it in the first place, and the heads of the two families don't want it to spread, so of course no one will discuss it," Xu Chengxian said with his eyes slightly closed.
Offending these two families, and he wouldn't be able to stay in Xuzhou City.
Who would dare to talk nonsense.
Then he asked Da Hei: "When did you become so interested in the love and hatred between mortals?"
"Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I listen to relieve boredom," Da Hei said, "Besides, doesn't this matter also involve the Liangjie River? That River Dragon King is involved in quite a few things."
"If you want to know what happened fifteen years ago, it's probably difficult. The parties involved are all dead except for the White Dragon King," Xu Chengxian said, "Why don't you go ask him?"
"Find him? This venerable one would like to, but unfortunately I have no friendship with him." Da Hei said, and then scolded Ao Runji, the useless little thing next to him, "If your father doted on you, I could have inquired about it through your connections."
After scolding, he turned back to ask Xu Chengxian: "Da Xu, weren't you there yesterday? Tell me how much you know!"
"Actually, there's nothing to say about this matter," Xu Chengxian didn't think this matter was anything new.
However, under Da Hei's repeated urging, he still told the story again.
After Da Hei finished listening, he opened his mouth slightly and asked, "Fifteen years ago, Lin Rumeng, that is, the fake Pan Mengdie we saw, summoned the real Pan Mengdie in order to force Bai Wenyu to marry her?"
What was the inevitable connection between them?
Bringing an enemy to herself, what was she thinking?
"Lin Rumeng likes Bai Wenyu, but she hates the Bai family," Xu Chengxian said, "Since fifteen years ago, she has resented the Bai family for standing by and watching her family decline."
The White Dragon King found her and asked her to eliminate all of Bai Wenyu's descendants after marrying him.
"He should have also told her that the Bai family was likely to be childless in this generation."
This is not difficult to infer.
Lin Rumeng was worried that she had no way to take revenge, and the White Dragon King told her this secret, which undoubtedly pointed her in the right direction.
However, Bai Wenyu's parents were not stupid and probably saw through her ulterior motives.
So they were not very willing to continue the marriage contract.
"This venerable one believes that Lin Rumeng's intention in asking the White Dragon King to find another fierce woman was not only to set off her kindness, but also to torment the Bai family."
Da Hei analyzed with great interest, "And their deaths are very likely related to Lin Rumeng."
Xu Chengxian nodded.
He thought that Da Hei was right.
If Pan Mengdie used her cleverness for evil, then Lin Rumeng was a typical example of being both stupid and bad.
These two can be considered a two-way journey, right?
Overall, the former is slightly better.
Pan Mengdie is ruthless and extreme in her actions, which ordinary people can't compare to.
Even after becoming the Bai Madam, she was still practicing evil arts. The two Yin soldiers summoned by Song Jue were both casual cultivators who followed their master to cultivate before their deaths. They had already sensed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and introduced it into their meridians to cultivate mana, but they were still killed by her.
If this woman had the aptitude for cultivation, her path would surely be paved with flesh and bones.
"I hope the Old Heavens heard her scolding them," the four-legged snake Ao Runji said indignantly.
It was deceived so miserably.
First, it thought it had saved a pitiful person, then it thought it had been deceived into saving an evil person, then it reversed, thinking it had saved a good person in distress, but in the end, it turned out that neither of them were good people!
"I don't know if the Old Heavens heard it, but I heard it anyway," Xu Chengxian smiled, "When Ding Jia goes to the underworld to invite Yin soldiers later, he should also take the Divine General to file a complaint."
Still want to be reincarnated as a human?
Wait slowly!
"So this matter was actually caused by two women, and your father was just going with the flow," Da Hei laughed, "Whoever wins, he helps."
These words were said to Ao Runji. This guy's rescue was not part of the plan either, but was accidentally learned by the Liangjie River and used.
"As for how he found out, perhaps Pan Mengdie didn't listen to instructions. Her previous inquiry about Lin Rumeng's life and death was used to make a fuss."
"These things are easy to follow, but this venerable one doesn't understand," it looked at Xu Chengxian, "Why did the White Dragon King have to go to such great lengths to kill Bai Chengyou?"
He could have easily thrown a demon out like he did with Songjiazhuang before, and razed the Bai family to the ground.
Why bother?
"Could it be that the Bai family has a defensive formation that demons can't enter?"
"Or does Bai Chengyou have a special magic weapon to protect him?"
While Da Hei was wondering, he thought of what Xu Chengxian said, that Lin Rumeng told him before her death that the Bai family's ancestor left a treasure for his descendants.
He couldn't help but say: "That treasure?"
Then his eyes lit up and he rubbed his hands together, "Why don't I go take a look?"
"Don't go, don't go, don't go," Xu Chengxian quickly said, "Don't cause me trouble."
"Yeah! Da Xu, you've changed!" Da Hei exclaimed, "You're not even tempted by a treasure?"
When he entered the Imperial Mausoleum Secret Realm, he didn't even let go of the dragon eggs that couldn't be hatched and were of little use.
He dug up hundreds of them and took them away!
He was even willing to spend his blood energy to hire it to find them.
Now he actually heard that there was a treasure, but he didn't want to take it for himself?
Da Hei didn't believe it.
"Who wouldn't be tempted by a treasure?" Xu Chengxian snorted, "But this treasure is a hot potato."
"How hot is it?"
"The Bai family's Nascent Soul ancestor not only left a treasure," Xu Chengxian said, "He also ascended and holds a position in the Heavenly Realm."
Because the Bai family worships their ancestors, the Heavenly Realm can receive the message.
Although he can't easily descend to the mortal world, he can send a message to the sect!
So, it's very hot.
"Moreover, the treasure left behind was 'snatched' from the Yellow Dragon Clan."
Given that Wang Shanlu showed an abnormality in his expression and eyes when he said the word 'snatched,' Xu Chengxian had reason to suspect that he was hinting at something.
Therefore, this treasure involves too much.
If you can avoid it, avoid it.
Just as he thought of this, a divine sense transmission suddenly floated over from afar.
"Xu Chengxian, are you there?"
