Mingzhuo: "Back then, you used Bai Wanzhen to manipulate Jiang Shengying, making it easy for him to make money in Hong Kong; now you've set your sights on Jiang Yunli, wanting to do the same. Unfortunately, you underestimated him, and that's your first mistake."
She paused, then continued, "You used Chu Yuqi to lure me to the Bai family, trying to stage a scene to frame me. This is your second mistake."
Bai Tingchao: "So you already knew."
I was careless in the end, and that's how I ended up losing my job.
"You've won the game now, but so what?" Bai Tingchao glared venomously at Ming Zhuo. "Weren't you also a possessor? Now you've come knocking on my door, aren't you just after the treasure?"
Xiang Yuhan was shocked: "You're talking nonsense! Teacher Ruan is a genius, she would never stoop to doing such a thing."
Bai Tingchao: "A prodigy? She used to be a delinquent girl, and suddenly she has such a high level of cultivation? Do you believe it? She's a cunning old devil beneath the surface, hahaha!"
Everyone turned to look at Mingzhuo, feeling a chill run from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.
Indeed, Mingzhuo's sudden emergence and her formidable strength are beyond what one would expect for someone her age.
If she really was possessed...
So what exactly is this demon lurking within the Xuanmen sect, and what is it planning to do? Could it be the calamity predicted by the four elders?
Everyone present became alert, fearing that Mingzhuo might suddenly attack and kill them to silence them.
Li Wenhe's expression turned cold: "I've known her for six or seven years. How could I not know what kind of person she is? What possession? That's utter nonsense!"
"Yes, it's slander and defamation! How dare you talk about my boss like that, believe me or not, I'll kill you!" Pei Di, with his fiery temper, couldn't help but quicken his pace and rush in upon hearing this.
He Wangyao followed closely behind, hands on her hips, "You failed to possess someone, so you spread rumors about them. Don't you have any shame at your age? Your jealous face is truly ugly!"
He paused for a moment and then said, "My boss is just that awesome. He doesn't need to cultivate evil arts or use the power of the bone jade, but he's still more powerful than even your gods. Isn't that infuriating?"
Bai Tingchao: "...You bastard! How dare you be so insolent in front of me!"
He was so angry that he lost his mind, couldn't catch his breath, closed his eyes, and collapsed.
He Wangyao: "..."
Seriously? Does this person have such poor mental fortitude? They get so angry after just a few words?
Mingzhuo stepped forward to check on him. "He's still breathing, but he's not far from death."
She was telling the truth; her body was already at its last gasp.
Bai Tingchao wanted to use evil magic to possess another body for this reason: his own body was no longer usable.
Although he was younger than Bai Tingtao, he was still in his sixties. His cultivation was not as good as Bai Tingtao's. Although practicing evil arts and taking shortcuts had short-term effects, the backlash was also very strong.
Therefore, he looked much older than Bai Tingtao, and the Bai family mistakenly thought he was an ordinary person with a weak constitution.
Bai Tingchao probably never dreamed that he was about to successfully possess someone and be reborn, only to be forcibly summoned back by Ming Zhuo and sealed back into his original body.
He spent his whole life hiding in the shadows, using evil magic to harm people, never expecting to encounter someone even more wicked than himself.
His domineering and unreasonable behavior left him completely helpless.
Bai Tingtao still had the talisman Ming Zhuo had stuck on his forehead. He staggered forward and turned to look at Ming Zhuo.
"Did Tingchao really do a lot of bad things? But he comes to visit me all the time, how could he have time?"
He couldn't understand how his brother had deceived him for decades without him even realizing it.
Mingzhuo: "You're not with him 24 hours a day, so how can you not have time? He even has time to go to Xiangshi and have Jiang Shengying book the whole place for him to have fun, you know that?"
Bai Tingtao's face paled; naturally, he knew nothing about it.
Mingzhuo sighed. It's not surprising that the Bai family didn't believe him.
Bai Tingchao originally had very poor aptitude and was not cut out for cultivation. He suffered neglect from his brilliant older brother since childhood.
He was always jealous and resentful. They were siblings from the same mother, so why could Bai Tingtao have it while he couldn't?
Later, he went astray and discovered that he could take shortcuts using evil magic, and even possibly surpass Bai Tingtao, so he completely went mad.
At first, he may have only wanted to surpass Bai Tingtao, but gradually he was no longer satisfied with that. Instead, he wanted a younger and stronger body, endless wealth and glory, and immortality.
Over the years, he has taken many lives and absorbed the life force of others to cultivate.
She even sowed discord among Bai Tingtao's followers, further damaging his already poor public image.
Teacher Su Changqing often enjoys gossiping and chatting with Mingzhuo when he has nothing to do, and his low opinion of Old Bai is due to this factor.
Bai Tingchao also subtly influenced Bai Tingtao's decisions quite a bit. Not to mention the S-level mission at last year's Xuanmen Academic Exchange Conference, he later suggested that Li Wen and the others win the award, trying to put them in a difficult position. Such dark and scheming thoughts are not something that Elder Bai would do.
"We need to send people to search Bai Tingchao's house immediately, lest his family abscond with the money," Mingzhuo said.
Bai Lingzhi has already rallied and is making arrangements with a serious expression.
Xiang Yuhan couldn't help but sigh. How could such a thing have happened? "Uncle Bai is really muddle-headed!"
He Wangyao asked Ming Zhuo in a low voice, "Is Elder Bai alright?"
Mingzhuo thought for a moment, "Did I say he had a problem? I don't think so."
He Wangyao: "..."
This is a huge misunderstanding. He always thought that Elder Bai was the big boss of the map and Bai Lingzhi was the little boss.
Li Wenhe frowned: "But the Bai family clearly has a problem."
Otherwise, they wouldn't be so wary.
He Wangyao clapped her hands. "That's right! I saw that person, it can't be fake!"
But in the chaos, the person disappeared.
Li Wenhe's expression changed slightly: "Is it that middle-aged man who appeared next to Chu Yuqi in Yunwu City? I was drawn into this courtyard by him!"
Mingzhuo turned to look at Bai Tingtao.
Bai Tingtao immediately bristled and glared, "I don't know who you're talking about! We don't know anyone in the Bai family!"
He looked guilty and was clearly not telling the truth.
Mingzhuo walked over and peeled the talisman off Bai Tingtao's forehead.
After the talisman was pasted on, it was unclear whether Bai Tingtao forgot about it or dared not remove it, but it remained on his forehead, making him lose his usual imposing manner when he spoke.
He is no longer the old man of Xuanmen whose every stomp could cause an earthquake.
Mingzhuo: "Old man, don't you even think before you lie? We didn't even say who we were looking for, and you're already saying you don't know them. That's not a good idea, is it?"
Bai Tingtao was shocked: "Who are you calling an old man?"
Mingzhuo: "Hey you, you're getting on in years, and your temper is still so fiery. Don't get yourself sick from anger. I'm going to generously share a health-preserving remedy with you. It's a secret recipe from a wealthy family, do you want it?"
Bai Tingtao instinctively refused: "No need!"
"That's a shame," Mingzhuo said. "Since it's not necessary, let's start searching the house. You don't mind, do you?"
Bai Tingtao's chest heaved violently again. No, he couldn't handle his temper!
