When his mother asked him directly, he took the initiative to break through the barrier between them.
Bai Yunxing was not surprised.
Earlier, before we moved to the county, back in Niantao Village, that night.
Mother had already tricked them once.
Although he didn't understand what time travel meant at the time, he did understand what "changing people" meant.
Even though my mother is sometimes a bit eccentric and doesn't act like an ordinary adult, it can't hide her intelligence and keen insight.
"Mu Qinyun, the twelfth son of the Mu family in the capital, greets Mother."
Bai Yunxing knelt down, his young yet composed eyes fixed on Jiang Dai, awaiting her response.
Time can feel both fast and slow, and the waiting time is the hardest to endure.
Under Bai Yunxing's gaze, Jiang Dai seemed to be deep in thought, but only Jiang Dai herself knew what she was really thinking.
Wait, wait, wait!
[The Mu family mansion in the capital? A local? Mu Qinyun—that name screams male lead!]
[The Mu family mansion, Mu Hu, the Mu family army—is this the young master of the general's mansion reborn into the body of the second son?]
"So, does that mean we can latch onto a powerful figure and go to Beijing?"
Jiang Dai felt her mind was a bit of a mess, with all sorts of thoughts popping into her head.
Bai Yunxing began to speak slowly.
“Mother, it’s not that I deliberately hid it, it’s just… it was too unbelievable, and at the time I didn’t know much about Father and Mother, so I didn’t dare to speak rashly.”
Bai Yunqi, eavesdropping outside: [Excuses, all excuses. Look how composed Mother is.]
However, my second brother's identity is truly surprising; he's a local, and from the General's Mansion at that.
Bai Yun'an: [The second brother still couldn't keep his composure. Rushing to explain at this point will put him at a disadvantage.]
[I guess the second brother was lucky. I didn't use my powers to fight him; I only took down Bai Yunqi. Otherwise, it might have been quite a shock.]
[Then what is Bai Yunqi's identity? If he didn't come from the apocalypse, how could he possess such abilities? Could he be a cultivator? Or from a Western magical world?]
Juanjuan, who can only hear her mother's inner thoughts but not what her brother and mother are saying: ?
All she knew was that her mother had been thinking about a lot of random things, and she sounded excited and happy about it.
Why does Mother seem so composed in the words of my eldest and third brothers?
Jiang Dai looked down at her second son kneeling on the ground and asked, "So you only said this because you've figured out your parents' background?"
Bai Yunxing nodded, then shook his head, choosing to tell the truth.
"My parents are kind, intelligent and perceptive. I originally thought I would grow up under their care and then make a name for myself. But I never expected that there would be spies from the northern barbarians here."
"This man is named Bei Lanfeng, a strategist under the Third Prince of the Northern Barbarians. He is ruthless and cruel, and treats human life like dirt. Yet he appeared in Taoyuan County and contacted the Mu family army. Unexpectedly, the news was leaked somewhere and Bei Lanfeng found out."
"That's why tonight's events took place."
Bai Yunxing glanced at his mother and continued, "The reason I came to be honest with you is to prepare you for what's to come. I will try my best to contact the Mu family in the capital and find protection for my brothers and sisters, as well as for you."
Jiang Dai felt a slight headache.
[Now, clinging to powerful figures doesn't guarantee success; it might even lead to an earlier demise.]
[They still want to flee to the capital like refugees? We've only just begun to have some peace and quiet!]
Jiang Dai felt a headache, but Bai Yunqi and Bai Yun'an outside did not.
Instead, the two men became restless and, without prior arrangement, decided to kill each other.
Bai Yunqi: [That's easy, just kill them. They're spies anyway, so I'm good at eliminating them completely.]
[Ah... Bai Yunqi! You really are a great person, doing good deeds without seeking recognition, quietly and secretly. No wonder you weren't struck by lightning and were even able to be resurrected! It's all karma!]
