Chapter 219: Something's Wrong with Me
Bai Songzhi snorted coldly, "My Bai family would never do such a thing!"
Bai Yu looked at him with a half-smile, "Just because you said you didn't do it doesn't mean you really didn't do it. Could you please show us your manuscript?"
"What a joke! This is the foundation of our Bai family. How can we just take it out casually? There is no such rule in the conference."
What Bai Songzhi said made sense, but in such a situation, what made sense would become irrational, and some people immediately suspected that he was quibbling.
"You're not hiding something."
"How dare you question the Bai family!"
"Tsk, you even dare to steal someone else's talisman, why should I not dare to question it?"
"Asshole! You little brat, how dare you slander the Bai family?"
"I'm not much younger than you. Since you feel that others are slandering your Bai family, please produce evidence to prove your innocence."
At this time, someone agreed, "Yes, take out the manuscript and debate it and you'll know."
The others nodded.
Bai Songzhi was originally angry, but suddenly he looked at everyone calmly, "You are forcing me to hand over the manuscript, just because you covet my family's talisman."
What? Coveting his talisman? They were high-level talisman makers after all, so why would they need it?
Damn, so shameless! He thinks his Bai family is so great!
…
"Master Bai is quite confident, but unfortunately he is using it on the wrong person. Not to mention that the Bai family's talisman is of unknown origin, even if it was, we don't have this intention."
"How to prove it?" Bai Songzhi, who had the upper hand, seemed more at ease, but others were not pushovers either.
"No need to prove it." The man said firmly, "Every talisman we display on stage is carefully prepared.
From selecting symbols, burning them, to explaining them, each step was done countless times to ensure that everyone present, especially newcomers, could understand them.
We came here with full sincerity, hoping to return with a bountiful harvest. But what about your Bai family? The talisman diagrams they obtained from nowhere are dirty, blurry, and you even had a newbie who had only been using them for less than six months on stage to explain them.
At first I thought your Bai family was deliberately fooling people, but when Bai Yu released the real magical symbol, I knew you were not fooling around at all, no, you were also fooling around,
It's just not the reason we thought, but because your Bai family doesn't have any, no talismans to produce!" The man spoke with a sonorous and powerful voice, easily convincing.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes focused on Bai Songzhi. Bai Songzhi suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell off his chair.
His hands, which were scratching the edge of the table, were covered in sweat, and he felt weak all over. Even his breathing was heavier, and he could hardly speak fluently, let alone with authority.
Bai Songzhi simply changed his strategy and pretended to be weak. He coughed and felt dizzy for a while, looking like he was getting irritated by the man and his condition was getting worse.
He also secretly winked at Bian Qin, asking her to help, but Bian Qin lowered her eyes in thought and seemed not to see.
I really didn’t see it, so I don’t think so.
Bai Songzhi was shaking with anger, his eyes filled with gloom. He didn't know whether he was angry at Bian Qin for turning away him, or at the man for exposing him.
Without allies, Bai Songzhi could only fight alone. "My Bai family has been making talismans since the founding of the empire, and it has been passed down to this day. There are all kinds of talismans that we haven't seen!"
Bai Songzhi wanted to use his family background to bully others, but no one bought his trick.
"Having a talisman doesn't mean there's a talisman diagram!"
"How do you know I don't have a talisman?"
"The Bai family was just a small family before, not even middle class. I don't know how, but by your father's generation, it suddenly became a big family.
The Bai family members are obviously mediocre, but they always come up with amazing, no, shocking talismans at every exhibition.
The talisman's level is not high, but its power is very great.
The talisman maker's technique was ingenious and varied. Just when you thought you had reached your limit, he would always come up with something new, and more than one.
A low-level talisman, when in his hands, can be transformed into a new one simply by changing the rune pattern, and it may even be upgraded."
"Wow, so amazing!"
"I really want to see it and learn a thing or two."
"Who says it isn't?"
…
"I had never thought deeply about how the Bai family suddenly became so prosperous until Old Xu mentioned that young man, Bai Songting, who happened to be Old Master Bai's nephew, and your cousin.
He was raised in the Bai family since he was a child, so judging from this, the talisman must have been made by Bai Songting."
"Nonsense! Bai...my cousin is just an ordinary person."
"So what if I'm just an ordinary person? My skills in making talismans are not even better than yours!" Old Xu was getting angrier and angrier as he thought about how he was humiliated by a thief.
"Your cousin has been missing for decades. Although your Bai family was able to produce the talisman at first, the way they described it was completely different from before. This is enough to prove that the talisman is not yours."
The man continued what Lao Xu said, "I don't think they have many talismans, otherwise they wouldn't use this blurry, half-finished product as a substitute.
The reason for choosing such a newcomer was to take advantage of the opportunity to get away with it, but unfortunately, no one is stupid. Of course, this is not the most important thing.
The man played off the mystery, "The most important thing is, without Bai Songting, they simply can't understand the remaining talismans.
For example, this fantasy talisman is clearly an intermediate-level talisman, but they mistakenly thought it was a high-level talisman.
So, I think even though they have some high-level talismans, they've only consumed them for so many years without producing any, so I'm afraid they don't have many left."
The Bai family's talisman was stolen from someone else! The Bai family doesn't have many high-level talismans! Yun Xiang's first reaction was, this person is so bold.
But she quickly reacted, her face filled with shock, her eyes wide open. This man must have a grudge against the Bai family! His words put the Bai family in complete danger.
The others were the same, looking at Bai Songzhi with subtle eyes. This is really bad luck!
Bai Songzhi's mouthful of blood got stuck in his throat, his face flushed purple, and he nearly fainted. Bai Mingfei, who was beside him, noticed something was wrong and promptly gave him a sharp knock on the back.
"Puff!" Bai Songzhi spat out a mouthful of blood and became a little more sober.
Seeing this, everyone moved away. Bai Songzhi instantly felt his blood boiling.
He had no choice but to admit that the talisman was Bai Songting's, but what could he do? "My cousin is a member of the Bai family, so how can he be said to have plagiarized it?"
"So, you admit that those talismans were made by Bai Songting."
This guy did it on purpose. It's not obvious enough what he said! Bai Songzhi gritted his teeth and said, "So what? My cousin is from the Bai family, so his talisman is naturally from the Bai family."
"Five cents, what's the meaning of taking my Bai family talisman?"
Hmm, if you calculate it this way, then Wuqian did indeed plagiarize someone else's talisman. However, Wuqian clearly got the original one, and knowing the talisman's production process, it should have come from a legitimate source... Shit, what's going on?
Ouch, my headache is so stressful!
This time, everyone finally stopped staring at Bai Songzhi and turned to look at Bai Yu. However, compared to Bai Songzhi, their attitude towards Bai Yu was much better, and Bai Songzhi was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
