In fact, even if Shen Boyuan didn't go to invite him, Bai Tingtao was already preparing to change his route to the Xuanmen headquarters.
He received the news a step later than Mingzhuo, and he was also shocked. How could a perfectly healthy person just die?
This isn't like Yuan Qingwan's style. Could it be that she's used the death ruse again?
But that's not right. Yuan Qingwan used someone else's corpse to deceive the Xiang family, and then she secretly ran away.
This time she has no chance of escaping. The room where she is being held is equipped with a magic array, making it impossible to even possess her body. It seems she is truly dead.
As the last person to see Yuan Qingwan, Bai Tingtao was naturally the first suspect.
If things aren't made clear, the people of the Xuanmen sect won't say anything on the surface, but who knows what kind of gossip they'll spread behind your back.
Bai Tingtao had no choice but to abandon his plan to go to Qinghui Residence and came to the Xuanmen headquarters immediately.
"I didn't kill him. I'm here to be investigated," he said in a deep voice as he stepped through the door.
Shen Boyuan rushed out upon receiving the news. Hearing this, he paused for a moment, then hurriedly stepped forward and invited Bai Tingtao into the guarded cell.
Su Changqing sighed deeply: "Who would have thought that Elder Bai, one of the four great elders of the Xuanmen, would become a prisoner?"
Surprisingly, he was easy to talk to; he had thought the old man was about to fly into a rage.
If that were the case, they wouldn't dare to take a hard line and arrest people.
Mingzhuo suddenly looked up and headed towards the gate.
The person who had stepped through the door hesitated for a moment, then stepped back. "Excuse me, have I disturbed you all?"
Mingzhuo recognized the voice immediately; he had heard it in his headphones before.
"Professor Luo, what brings you here?" Cheng Jingru rushed out, looking at Luo Wenxin and the paparazzi behind him, somewhat at a loss.
Because the show has been very popular recently, the production team has seized the opportunity to start recording each episode live.
This way, you can build up popularity while live streaming, and then edit the footage into a video before officially releasing it online.
The production team had arranged to film at the Xuanmen headquarters today to learn about its existence. Unexpectedly, Luo Wenxin and the production team had just arrived when they encountered this situation.
The comments section exploded.
[A case has been solved! Is Junior Sister about to embark on an investigative adventure?]
[Is this old man a murderer? So even cultivators do bad things.]
[Any group can produce bad apples; I just hope it's not one of my junior sister's seniors.]
[This old man looks fierce; murderer, just die already!]
[However, this is Elder Bai, one of the four great elders of the Xuanmen sect.]
[If you don't understand, just ask: Who is Mr. Bai? Is he very powerful?]
Shen Boyuan knew that the production team was coming to record the show. He was the one who was in charge of coordinating the project. Like Luo Wenxin, he was also an advisor to the production team.
It was only because of today's unexpected accident that I forgot about it.
The current situation was certainly not suitable for the production crew to film randomly. He said a few words to Cheng Jingru, and then Cheng Jingru communicated with Luo Wenxin and left with the production crew.
Su Changqing's expression changed: "Things are getting a bit bad now, it's gotten online."
Although Cheng Jingru handled the situation promptly, many netizens are already trying to find out who Bai Lao is.
Those netizens don't care about the truth; they'll embellish and spread rumors, and that's how gossip and slander are born.
Mingzhuo: "What a coincidence!"
Su Changqing also exclaimed, "Yes, what a coincidence!"
Mingzhao: "..."
Why isn't this person harboring any conspiracy theories now? They're even innocently agreeing with him.
"Teacher Ruan? It really is you!" A figure ran over, looking at Mingzhuo with great excitement.
Seeing the other person's enthusiastic smile, Mingzhuo remembered her name: "...Bu Qianqian? Long time no see."
She was deeply impressed by the person's name: Bu Qianqian, meaning "not in debt"—what an excellent character.
Bu Qianqian is a far cry from the timid and cowardly person she used to be; she is now a senior disciple of the Xuanmen sect.
“I heard from Teacher Su that you reminded him not to let the guards get close to Yuan Qingwan, otherwise I would have been the one dead last night when it was my turn to be on duty. Teacher Ruan, you saved my life again!”
Mingzhuo coughed lightly: "It's all thanks to Teacher Su. You should thank Teacher Su."
Bu Qianqian shook her head firmly: "No, it was you who saved me. Without your reminder, Teacher Su wouldn't have made this decision."
Su Changqing: "..."
I should be under the car, not inside it.
Bu Qianqian was a little excited; this was her idol. "Teacher Ruan, I feel especially safe with you around, and I sleep much more peacefully at night."
She leaned closer and whispered, "Are you going to keep an eye on Chu Yuqi now? She seems to have the ability to foresee the future, so she should know a lot of things. By the way, Yuan Qingwan's daughter was also taken away by Old Bai, and she should be with Chu Yuqi now."
The disciples all said that Elder Bai was highly suspicious, but Bu Qianqian didn't think so.
She had been on S-class missions with Mingzhuo, so she knew that you can't judge a book by its cover.
“Yuan Qingwan is dead. It seems like she was murdered to silence her. Could her daughter be hiding some secret?” Bu Qianqian pondered seriously.
Mingzhuo originally wanted to say that there was nothing wrong with the real Linglan, but Yuan Qingwan didn't even treat her like a human being, so why would she tell her such an important secret?
But after thinking for a moment, she smiled and said, "Chu Yuqi's ability to foresee the future has limitations. She must maintain continuous contact with a person to see that person's past and future. The longer the contact, the more fragments she sees. Although this ability cannot be considered to have deciphered true destiny, it still has its advantages."
"She doesn't need to know the person's birth date or their facial features; she can see them simply by staying in contact with them."
Bu Qianqian: "Really? I knew I was right! The key to solving the problem lies with Chu Yuqi and Linglan!"
Mingzhuo raised a finger to his lips, indicating to Bu Qianqian that she should keep it a secret.
Bu Qianqian nodded vigorously.
Mingzhuo changed the subject, "However, I have a grudge against Chu Yuqi, and she is now the heir of the Bai family, so it's not convenient for me to meet with her. Teacher Su."
She called out Su Changqing's name and smiled, "The task of protecting Chu Yuqi and Linglan is now entrusted to you."
Su Changqing perked up: "Okay, no problem."
Having a direction is better than wandering around like a headless fly.
——
Chu Yuqi understood Su Changqing's purpose and then came out of the room.
It was quite a shock; I almost thought Su Changqing had come with people to arrest her.
She was feeling very conflicted. Yuan Qingwan was dead, and Bai Tingtao had inexplicably become a suspect.
Isn't the Bai family one of the four great families? Isn't Bai Tingtao one of the four elders? He thought that with the Bai family as his backer, he could walk around the Xuanmen with impunity. He didn't expect that before he could enjoy the benefits of being the heir of the Bai family, he would be doused with cold water.
"You think I can see her secrets? What a joke, that's just stupid!"
Having spent so much time with Linglan, she realized that Linglan's intelligence was below average.
Suspecting this might be the reason why Yuan Qingwan kept Linglan as a scapegoat.
