Chapter 340
"Huan'er saw it! He killed his sister! He also killed his father, mother, and Huan'er!"
Ji Shihuan spoke slowly and deliberately, and then tears streamed down her face.
"Sister." She cried and hugged Lingwu tightly, as if grasping at a straw.
Bai Yu's face was deathly pale. Upon hearing this, he hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to approach Ling Wu to explain.
But as soon as he got closer, the little girl cried even more pitifully, and her voice even trembled.
"Sister, Huan'er is scared, Huan'er is scared, boohoo." Her crying was very pitiful, not sharp or disturbing, but rather like a kitten, making people feel affection for her.
But Lingwu knew how hard the little girl was crying; in just a few breaths, her clothes were damp.
At this moment, Bai was caught between a rock and a hard place, unable to retreat or advance. He could only stand there helplessly.
For some reason, he began to hallucinate.
He seemed to see a patch of blood...
The immortal lay on the ground, his spiritual energy dissipating. Even in death, his eyes remained open, a hint of self-mockery lingering in his usually cold gaze.
At the entrance of the magnificent and bustling Ji family mansion, a stream of blood flowed outwards.
A gentle lady embraced a young woman and cursed her with resentment, each word dripping with venom: "Bai Yu! You betrayed your master and ancestors! You will die a horrible death!"
The next moment, he drew his sword and killed them both, their blood splattering onto his white robes. He merely left a cold remark:
"Those who block my way will face certain death."
Bai Yu, clutching his throbbing head, suddenly exclaimed, "I didn't!"
As soon as he spoke, he came to his senses and looked around at the eyes that were fixed on him because of his exclamation.
These people were somewhat familiar, but unlike the ones in the illusion who looked at him with bloodstains and resentment, these people now only had concern and inquiry in their eyes.
The moment the little girl nestled in the immortal's arms met his gaze, he froze, as if plunged into the deepest hell.
The five-year-old girl in front of him was the young woman he had just seen in the illusion!
Their face shape, features, and even the fearful look in their eyes were exactly the same.
At the same time, upon learning of Ling Wu's arrival, Ji's mother and her husband also rushed over, laughing as they walked:
"No matter what I said, this little girl refused to come into the manor today and insisted on waiting at the gate. I wondered what was wrong with her. It turns out she had a premonition that Wu'er was coming back!"
As she approached, noticing the awkward atmosphere, her smile faded slightly, and she asked, "What's wrong? Is this girl missing her sister too much?"
Ji Shihuan cried so hard she could barely breathe.
Seeing this, Lingwu patted the little girl on the back and shook her head at the two elders, "I'll take Huan'er back to her room first."
As she finished speaking, Lingwu turned around and glanced at the two people following behind her.
Fuxue nodded to her and said considerately, "I'm fine, you go and comfort your sister first."
Bai Yu's face was pale, but he still forced himself to remain calm and said, "This disciple..."
But as soon as he spoke, Ji Shihuan burst into tears again.
"Sister, Huan'er is scared."
Helpless, Lingwu could only gently coax the little girl, then picked her up and stepped into the mansion first.
Bai Yu, who was ignored by Ling Wu for the first time, watched Ling Wu's back as she walked away, and finally stopped saying "This disciple is fine."
Unaware of the situation, Ji's mother smiled at the two of them and said, "My little girl has been talking about missing her sister every day. She was just too excited today. Please forgive her."
Madam Ji shook her head and sighed, "It's also my fault. I haven't kept a close eye on her, which is why I've neglected you two."
Fu Xue smiled sweetly and waved her hands repeatedly, "Her home is my home. How can I be negligent when I'm back at my own home?"
Her smile was sweet and unusually beautiful, which pleased Madam Ji at first sight. She then took Fuxue's hand and patted it.
After a short while, he finally managed to focus his attention on Bai Yu.
Ji's mother didn't feel anything, but the moment Bai Yu met her gaze, his blood rushed to his head again.
The scene flashed before Bai Yu's eyes again—"Bai Yu! You betrayed your master and ancestors! You will die a horrible death!"
If Ji Shihuan only resembled that young woman, then Ji's mother in front of them looked exactly like that woman.
But he had never seen the Immortal Venerable's mother before!
Without these memories, Ji Mu looked Bai Yu up and down, her brows furrowed slightly as she pondered, "I feel like I've seen you before."
Just as Bai Yu was about to retreat and flee, Ji Mu suddenly realized what was happening and laughed, saying:
"Wu'er brought you here once five years ago, but you were in a coma at the time, so you probably don't remember us."
After hearing this, the cold sweat on Bai Yu's back gradually subsided, and his steps, which were meant to escape, froze in place.
She forced a smile and dared not meet his gaze. Upon hearing his words, she could only nod and could not say anything in response.
Seeing this, Fuxue's eyes flickered, concealing the strange feeling. She took Ji's mother's hand and led her into the mansion, introducing herself with a smile as she spoke: "Auntie, my name is Fuxue."
Bai Yu stood there for a long time before lowering his head and following after them.
But as soon as he entered the mansion, a red light appeared before his eyes again. Despite the apparent prosperity, all he could see was blood throughout the mansion and the disgust of everyone present.
"Bai Yu! You'll die a horrible death! You'll die a horrible death!"
The blood rushed to his head, his legs felt weak, and he staggered a few steps before finally collapsing to the ground.
In the flickering light, the face that Ji's mother looked at with concern overlapped with the face that had cursed him.
"Bai Yu! You have betrayed your master and ancestors! You will die a horrible death!"
"I didn't." His lips murmured, before he finally sank into the boundless darkness.
