Actually, when she rescued He Wangyao from the haunted guesthouse, she vaguely sensed that something was wrong with this person.
However, I didn't have time to investigate further at the time, and we didn't have much contact afterward.
She didn't deliberately inquire about Xiang Yuhan, but she occasionally overheard Su Changqing gossiping about him.
Before the ghost homestay incident, Xiang Yuhan had always been Wu Jiao's right-hand man, often taking on important missions and frequently teaching at the Taoist Academy.
But after that, Xiang Yuhan left the Taoist Academy under the pretext of traveling and cultivating.
Although he still kept in frequent contact with Wu Jiao, he avoided every encounter with Ming Zhuo, as if he was trying to avoid her.
After Mingzhuo disappeared on the ghost train, this person became active again, saying that his travels were over.
They probably didn't expect that Mingzhuo would actually get off the ghost train alive.
During his trip to Beishan Temple, Zhuang Xun discovered traces of the Saha sect and murals. Upon arriving in Yunwu City, he immediately led his team to Qinghui Residence, hoping to meet Mingzhuo.
Xiang Yuhan had no choice but to go against the plan, and since someone was going to deal with Ruan Mingying and Xu Shanglou, he decided to play along and pretend to be controlled by the incense ash gu.
Then they would act according to the situation, because they would rather hurt themselves than harm ordinary people, so they played the victim to gain sympathy...
“You’ve acted in so many plays, but when I judge a person, I never look at what they say or do.” Mingzhuo sincerely advised, “Seriously, don’t act in so many plays next time. It’s like watching a monkey show to me; it’s exhausting.”
Xiang Yuhan: "..."
That's too much! This person acts like a superior being, but it turns out he's the type to humiliate people.
Bai Tingtao was heartbroken: "You and my second brother have been colluding for a long time? Why did you do this?!"
Now he could see clearly that these people were all in cahoots, not only wanting to steal the treasure but also wanting to kill him.
Although he had a violent temper throughout his life, he always protected his family and relatives, so he was easily misled and directed his anger at outsiders, not realizing that it was the people around him who kept causing problems.
The Bai family, so large, is like a sieve; how can he face Mingzhuo and Xuanmen?
Bai Lingzhi pursed her lips. "Evil and heretical people should be punished by everyone. Why waste words with them?"
Xiang Yuhan acted as if she were meeting Bai Lingzhi for the first time, saying, "Sister Zhi, you are so cruel."
He paused, then laughed again, "You're willing to remain unmarried and childless to seize the position of family head. Your desire for power is so strong, so why can't I covet even greater power and authority?"
Bai Lingzhi took a few steps back. "You're crazy, you're really crazy."
Mingzhuo stepped forward and kicked Xiang Yuhan to the ground: "Don't talk yourself up so high and mighty. Your soul is twisted and ugly. How dare you compare yourself to others?"
Xiang Yuhan seemed to know that she had no way to refute him, so she simply shut her mouth and remained silent.
Bai Tingtao clutched his chest: "I don't even know how I'm going to face your parents when I get to the afterlife!"
"What's there to explain? His mother isn't dead."
"What?" Bai Tingtao and Bai Lingzhi were both shocked.
Xiang Yuhan's mother has quite a connection with the Bai family. She was raised in the Bai family when she was young and grew up with Bai Tingtao and his brother. They were like brothers.
She had a troubled love life in her early years, and died not long after giving birth to her son after marrying into the Xiang family.
It was precisely for this reason that Bai Tingtao treated the Xiang family with leniency and support, allowing the Xiang family, a small clan, to gradually gain a place in the Xuanmen (Taoist sect).
Putting all that aside, how could someone who has been dead for decades possibly come back to life?
Xiang Yuhan stared at Ming Zhuo: "You're talking nonsense."
“Whether I’m talking nonsense or not, you know perfectly well in your heart.” Mingzhuo smiled. “Although you were very meticulous and carefully concealed her destiny chart, and even changed your own appearance, there is always a loophole.”
Most people wouldn't pay attention to someone who's been dead for decades, but Gu Xu was the one collecting the information.
Ah Xu is so meticulous. He investigated several generations of the Bai family and put them in the data, including a separate list of deceased members.
When Mingzhuo saw a certain name on the list, she couldn't help but smile. Coincidentally, she had heard of that name before.
A quick calculation of this person's birth date and time reveals that their destiny chart has been altered.
Xiang Yuhan: "I don't know what you're talking about. Don't throw mud at the dead."
Mingzhuo didn't want to say it, but since he was so stubborn, she had no choice but to.
That's just how much I love to slap people in the face.
"Sect Leader Bai, may I borrow your whip?" Ming Zhuo held up Bai Lingzhi's whip. "See this? This style of whip is unique to the Bai family. I saw a similar whip at Jiang Shengying's place. It was made from the skin of a fox demon. Peeling off the skin and pulling out the tendons, that's how much hatred it represents."
"A fox demon?" Bai Tingtao was stunned, feeling as if he had seen it before.
Mingzhuo: "Her name is Bai Wanzhen. I don't know if you've heard of her."
Bai Tingtao: "!!!"
He excitedly took two steps forward, "Is it Zhenzhen? How is she?"
After asking that question, he realized that Bai Wanzhen was dead and had been skinned and had her tendons removed, and her skin had been used to make a whip.
Bai Tingtao immediately felt his blood surging and roared at Xiang Yuhan, "You bastard, explain yourself right now!"
Bai Lingzhi stepped forward and patted his chest repeatedly to help him catch his breath. "Dad, calm down first and listen to what Teacher Ruan has to say."
She had a hunch that this matter was related to her cousin who had died young.
Mingzhuo looked at Xiang Yuhan: "Your so-called 'oversight' is an attempt to torment Wanzhen, thinking that she had been gone for many years. You never expected that someone whose soul was gone could come back and tell me in person that the person who harmed her was named Yuan Qingwan."
