Chapter 140 Bai Xiaoqin's Past
Bai Xiaoqin's words stunned Zhou Zhilu.
I couldn't help but ask in surprise: "How did you recognize me?"
You must know that both the human skin mask and the shape-changing pills were specially developed by the Anbu for camouflage. If they could be easily discovered, the Anbu would have been extinct long ago.
Bai Xiaoqin thought for a moment and said, "Hmm... I can't quite explain it. It should be the smell, not the smell outside, but the smell inside. Yes! That's the smell!"
Bai Xiaoqin said affirmatively.
Zhou Zhilu blinked and unconsciously raised his hand to smell himself, but he only smelled sweat...
Immediately, noticing Bai Xiaoqin's strange look, he concealed his embarrassment and asked, "You just said you wanted to see your father. Who is your father?"
"Bai Qiufeng."
Zhou Zhilu was shocked. Bai Qiufeng, that was the name of the current head of the Bai family. She was actually Bai Qiufeng's daughter?!
Zhou Zhilu asked carefully, "Xiaoqin, do you know why they brought you to this forest?"
Bai Xiaoqin shook her head indifferently and said, "I don't know. They never tell me why when they ask me to do something. They just tell me... that would make my father very happy."
He immediately looked up at Zhou Zhilu seriously and asked, "Do you know where my father is? You killed those people and went to my Bai family. You must know my Bai family very well, so you must also know where my father is, right?!"
"I..." Zhou Zhilu looked at Bai Xiaoqin's serious expression and didn't know how to start for a moment.
However, when Bai Xiaoqin saw Zhou Zhilu hesitate, her face suddenly darkened and she whispered, "You're all the same. Every time I say I'm looking for my father, you hesitate...
"If you don't know where my father is, then what's the point of staying here..."
After saying that, Bai Xiaoqin stood up and walked out of the cave.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhilu couldn't let Bai Xiaoqin leave like this. He stood up with the help of the wall, walked forward and grabbed Bai Xiaoqin's arm.
But Bai Xiaoqin suddenly swung her hand, and with such great force, she threw Zhou Zhilu to the ground.
Zhou Zhilu looked in shock, only to see that Bai Xiaoqin's pupils suddenly turned vertical, like snake eyes.
His voice also became much hoarse at this moment, as if he had become a different person. He said in a cold voice: "Don't stop me, I want to go find my father by myself!"
At the same time, a faint colorful smoke gradually emanated from his body, and he exuded a deadly aura.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhilu hurriedly said, "I'll take you there!"
Bai Xiaoqin paused.
"I'll take you to your dad, but it's dark outside now. Let's go tomorrow! Okay?"
"Do you know where he is?"
Zhou Zhilu nodded and said, "Of course I know!
"The forest outside is huge. You'll definitely get lost if you go out alone. I'll take you there tomorrow. Look at me, I can't even beat you in this state, so how could I dare to lie to you?"
Under Zhou Zhilu's persuasion, Bai Xiaoqin's eyes gradually returned to normal, and the colorful smoke dissipated. She looked at Zhou Zhilu sitting on the ground in a daze.
The aura on his body disappeared, and was replaced by an expression of confusion, nervousness and fear.
Anxiously, he said, "I'm sorry... I've been losing control of my emotions lately, and sometimes I can't control myself."
Zhou Zhilu looked at the little girl who was just taller than his waist, and realized that if she was really the poisonous holy body cultivated by the Bai family, this little girl's realm might be higher than his, but she just didn't know how to use it yet.
Right now, he must first stabilize the other party and learn as much as possible. As for tomorrow... Zhou Zhilu couldn't help but feel a headache for a moment.
If they secretly inform Captain Mu Yan tomorrow, will the two of them be able to control Bai Xiaoqin?
He asked tentatively, "In exchange for me taking you to your father, can you answer some questions for me?"
Bai Xiaoqin nodded vigorously after hearing this and said, "As long as you can take me to see my father, I will tell you everything!"
Listening to Bai Xiaoqin's childish words, Zhou Zhilu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Any war will involve countless innocent people, including parents who have lost their children, children who want to see their parents, and so on.
Due to various factors, I had no choice but to deceive a young child.
Zhou Zhilu looked at Bai Xiaoqin and asked, "Or... tell me your story. How long has it been since you last saw your father?"
Bai Xiaoqin leaned against the wall, her two small hands scratching in front of her body, lowering her head and saying, "The last time I saw my father was three years, four months, and twelve days ago...
"The last time I saw him smile was five years, two months, and seven days ago. That was the day my mother entered the ancestral hall. Since then, my mother has passed away, and my father has never smiled again...
"He used to love playing with me by throwing the ball. My father was so tall that I couldn't reach it even if I jumped as hard as I could. But later on, he seemed to dislike Xiaoqin no longer.
"Maybe my father was disappointed in Xiaoqin because she could never learn to play the piano...but I really tried my best."
Qin? Zhou Zhilu guessed that this was most likely what the Gu Clan's High Priest had said. There was a problem with the Bai family's inheritance. The next generation of the clan leader hadn't been able to cultivate the Bai family's skills, so he was afraid that others would have even less success.
Bai Xiaoqin continued, "Later, my father asked me if I wanted to plant something in my body. I asked him if he would be happy if I agreed.
"Father said he could, but... after Xiaoqin finally succeeded, Father didn't smile, he cried instead...
"After that, my father spent less and less time at home. Three years ago, he never came home again. He only came back by letter."
