Chapter 189 Bai Songting (Part 1)
What?
Sheng Yulan was confused at first, but then she reacted, stood up, walked back and forth a few times, then stared at Yun Xiang with a sharp gaze and asked softly, "Is this true?"
"Really." Yun Xiangxiang tried to hold back his smile and nodded seriously.
"You..." Sheng Yulan held the table with both hands, stared at Yun for a while, and sighed, "Hey! Do you want to know about your grandfather?"
Yun Xiang nodded.
"Give me some time." Sheng Yulan stroked her forehead and suddenly said, "Does Bian Qin know? I guess not. Otherwise, Mi Lin would have done it even if he knew. Bian Qin..."
Sheng Yulan muttered to herself for a while, then calmed down. This shock was too—wait, "Your grandfather—"
"He passed away." Yun Xiang looked sad.
"...I think so." Sheng Yulan paused. "The first time I met your grandfather was at the Bai family. My aunt is the mistress of the Bai family, you should know.
Your grandfather's father and Old Master Bai (Bai Shiqing) were brothers. After his parents passed away, he was adopted by Old Master Bai.
Although they were adopted, they didn't have freedom. I was young at the time, and the Bai family was not on guard. I occasionally overheard conversations, and it turned out that the people who had been following your grandfather around weren't there to protect him, but because they were worried he might run away.
All of this stems from his ability. Although your grandfather is an ordinary person, he is a genius in drawing talismans. However, it is a pity that no one in Mr. Bai's family can make talismans to a great extent.
Of course I won’t let him go free.”
Even if he didn't let her go after she became successful, wouldn't that just give someone else an advantage? Could Bai Shiqing be so kind? If he was kind, he wouldn't have trapped Lin Yuxin for her entire life.
"I was naive and childish at the time, so I quietly asked him why he didn't run away. He just smiled and said nothing. I not only called him a pushover but also threatened to let him go."
Sheng Yulan had a nostalgic expression on her face.
A young girl who is still childish, with a heroic spirit in her heart, wants to be a hero from time to time. She happens to meet a scholar in trouble, who just satisfies her passion.
"I really wanted to let him out at that time, and I wasn't afraid of you laughing at me. The first time I saw him, I was attracted by his looks. The second time, I admired his talent. The third time, I was addicted to his personality.
Your grandfather is a gentle and refined man, always tolerant and kind to others. Since I met him, I have never seen him angry."
Really? Yun Xiang was a little surprised. Although Grandpa was gentle most of the time, he would get angry with her and lash out.
"Meeting him four times has ruined my whole life. Alas!" Sheng Yulan sighed heavily.
Yun Xiang couldn't help but sigh as well. "Not getting what you want is the most painful thing, isn't it?"
"Although your grandfather is kind-hearted, he is very principled. The Bai family raised him, and he repays them with talismans.
Bian Qin was the first person your grandfather rescued. She had nowhere else to go, so she stayed with him. Because she was an ordinary person and not in any danger, the Bai family ignored her, thinking it was just a matter of a meal.
After that, he rescued Wuqian's brothers one by one. I don't know how he rescued them, and these people did not appear in the Bai family.
I only heard that the five Qian brothers who were rescued were also very ordinary people at first and had no special abilities.
That's right. If he had the ability, the Bai family would not allow him to develop his own power.
After that, he saved many more people, but they were not as famous as the Wuqian brothers.
Most of these people live on Falling Star and often go on missions with the Five Coin Mercenary Group. Some of them join the group, while others do not.
Bian Qin was cheerful, sunny, independent, and very attractive. Your grandfather spent time with her day and night, and gradually they became close.
One day later, your grandfather and Bian Qin suddenly disappeared, leaving only a note for the Bai family: "The favor has been repaid, take care." This is what I learned from my aunt.
It is said that Old Master Bai was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot, and called your grandfather an ungrateful wolf in front of his family. Later, your grandfather became a taboo in the Bai family.
Although I am sad about your grandfather's passing, I also wish him freedom again, and hope that the sea is wide enough for fish to leap.
Then I left the Bai family sadly.
When I healed my emotional wounds alone and came back to the Bai family, guess who I saw? " Sheng Yulan's face was full of resentment, and she almost gritted her teeth and shouted, "It was Bian Qin! Bian Qin who had been missing for several years!
And became an awakened one!
I was shocked and puzzled. Why did he come back after finally escaping? If he had been caught, he wouldn't have been so cheerful and talkative.
What about him? The first thing I thought of was your grandfather. I secretly inquired several times, but there was no news about him.
I felt relieved and started paying attention to Bian Qin's movements. I found that she and Bai Songzhi, my uncle, now Mr. Bai, were almost always in and out together.
No wonder my aunt looked so depressed and in such a bad mood, but strangely she didn't stop me. I know her temper; she's not one to swallow her anger.
Then I asked her.
She loves me very much, or maybe she has been holding it in for too long and wants to find someone to talk to. Since I don’t have much ability and it won’t affect the overall situation, she confided in me.
It turns out the Bai family hasn't given up on searching for your grandfather, especially with the rise of the Rising Sun Mercenary Group. Your grandfather's whereabouts are mysterious, and they've searched countless locations, but always come up empty-handed.
I thought there was no chance, but Bian Qin suddenly came to me and said she wanted to cooperate with the Bai family. I then realized that she was extremely ambitious and her desire for power and status was above all else.
She is not what she used to be. We were all deceived by her.
My aunt didn't say what they discussed specifically, but seeing how she and Bai Songzhi were getting closer and closer, I could guess that Bai Shiqing was promising her the position of the Bai family's grandmother.
At this point, Sheng Yulan became so angry that she simply called the person by his name.
"Who is our Sheng family? How dare he divorce my aunt? Bai Shiqing is smart, and Bian Qin is not stupid either.
Judging from Bian Qin's methods, he must have worked his way out of the darkness. How could he be so easily fooled?
Bai Shiqing knew that Bian Qin was from a marginal planet and thought she was ignorant, so he tried to trap her, but Bian Qin naturally didn't take the bait.
After playing Tai Chi for a while, Bian Qin and my uncle began to keep their distance. I guess neither side could defeat the other, so they probably took a step back and formed an alliance.
I really want to help your grandfather, but I don't know where to start. I don't know where he is, and I don't dare to make any big moves, for fear that my aunt will find out and have me confined to my home.
I once asked my aunt, "Why do you still stay here when the Bai family is so rotten?" My aunt said, "Every family is like this, and it doesn't matter to me!" If she left the Bai family, would she still have a chance to become the mistress of the family?
I was extremely disappointed at the time. Maybe everyone has different pursuits, but I couldn't accept it.
I left the Bai family the next day.
Maybe I left too hastily, and my aunt noticed that something was wrong with me. After that, I was confined to the Sheng family for a long time.
Later I heard that your grandfather and child were missing.
I thought Bian Qin didn't want children, but I didn't expect that she gave birth to another one. But apparently she abandoned it again, including your grandfather.
But looking at her expression, it's obviously not the case?" Sheng Yulan shrugged, "Then Bian Qin flew straight up into the sky.
Because my aunt mentioned the matter of Pozhixing before, oh, the original Baicuixing, I guessed the general content of their covenant."
