Murong Xue gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, yes, because of you!"
Not to mention Qin Nan, even Qin Fang, Zhou Miao, and Lü Zeqi couldn't help but prick up their ears to listen to the rest of the story.
Murong Xue said angrily, "Isn't it all because he used me as a shield to avoid his romantic entanglements? My parents caught him red-handed, and now there's no way to clean up this mess!"
"Oh?" Everyone looked at Pi Sheng, who touched the tip of his nose with slight embarrassment.
Qin Nan: "Shouldn't it be alright to explain it clearly?"
Murong Xue angrily bit her chopsticks, leaving a row of teeth marks: "Yes, it could have been explained clearly, but now it's a dead end!"
Everyone turned to look at Pi Sheng, especially Qi Jingtai, who had an expression of discovering something new.
Qi Jingtai: "So you were hiding this all along! I never imagined you'd resort to such unscrupulous means to get her, disregarding her reputation! I despise you!"
Pi Sheng: "Get out! All of this started because of you!"
Everyone stared at the scene with amused expressions, while Qi Jingtai looked completely innocent and bewildered.
Qi Jingtai: "What does this have to do with me?"
Pi Sheng: "I'm hiding from He Yuhan!"
Qi Jingtai looked at Pi Sheng's gloomy face, his smile slowly disappearing. He Yuhan? The He family's heiress whom he had helped pursue Pi Sheng!
Qi Jingtai: "Didn't she... she gave up on you?"
Pi Sheng: "Why do you think she died? And at the public announcement meeting that day, I don't remember her being on the guest list. Who brought her in?"
Upon hearing this, Murong Xue stared intently at Qi Jingtai, who casually stood up and said, "I've had too much to drink, I'm going to the restroom." Then he dashed off.
Pi Sheng slowly put down his chopsticks, got up and left, the reason for which was obvious.
Sure enough, not long after, inexplicable wails echoed throughout the courtyard. Fortunately, the fireworks and firecrackers outside were loud enough, otherwise people might have come to complain about the disturbance.
The lights are on full display tonight, another year has passed. After a lively and satisfying meal, everyone packs up in an orderly fashion and bids farewell one after another.
Before leaving, Bai Hao said something to Pi Sheng and the others. After seeing everyone off, Bai Hao was visibly in a good mood. Chi Wei and the other kids ate their snacks with gusto, while Qin Nan sat on the sofa watching the news on TV.
"Tick-tock—"
Suddenly, Qin Nan's phone beeped with a message notification. He took out his phone and saw that Luo Lin had sent him a message.
Luo Lin: Who are you? Do you know who I am? Who am I? Who am I really? They, they're all lying to me! It must be, it must be...
Qin Nan frowned as she looked at the message. Why would Luo Lin go to a place that makes one forget everything? Moreover, Bai Hao had said that Luo Lin would be fine, but he needed to pay off a debt. What debt?
Qin Nan still remembers that Luo Lin lived in the countryside with his grandparents when he was young, and later moved to the city with his parents. After the elders in his family passed away, he never returned to his hometown.
After graduation, Qin Nan remembered that Luo Lin seemed to have taken over his father's printing factory job. Later, Qin Nan was very busy, and Luo Lin seemed to be very busy as well, so they had less contact. Then there was that message that Luo Lin suddenly sent before.
Bai Hao noticed that Qin Nan seemed to be in a daze, so he went over and saw the messages on Qin Nan's phone.
He frowned slightly. Qin Nan cared a lot about this person. However, if you owe a debt, there will be debt collectors. If you escape one life, there will be another. The past is the past, but time cannot overcome a person's obsession.
Bai Hao thought about it and realized that there were still two or three months before he had to go back, so it would be good to make a trip.
He didn't know everything about that place, but it was about forgetting, and Qin Nan seemed to have forgotten something as well. He wondered if he could awaken some forgotten memories, or perhaps there was a reason why Bai Ze couldn't know what he knew.
Bai Hao: "Are you very worried?"
Qin Nan snapped out of her reverie upon hearing this, looked up at Bai Hao, and nodded slightly: "I'm a little worried. I don't know why he went there? What happened there? If there's no danger, can he return to a normal life?"
Bai Hao: "I won't die, but I can't leave either."
Qin Nan looked at Bai Hao with a puzzled expression. Bai Hao seemed somewhat indifferent to Luo Lin, just like he treated those who deserved their fate.
Bai Hao: "Let's take a few days to reorganize and go check it out."
Qin Nan: "Are you going?"
Bai Hao: "It's on the way, and I have other things to do. Besides, I won't be able to come back for a while after I go. I'm going back to the Mountain and Sea Realm. You can come with me."
Qin Nan: "The Mountain and Sea Realm? Because of the Xuanwu Clan?"
Bai Hao: "Yes, the Xuanwu clan guards the place where the Netherworld and the mountains and seas meet. To prevent those things in the Netherworld from escaping, the true form of the Xuanwu clan has been suppressed here for generations."
For some unknown reason, something seemed to be missing in the Netherworld. The creatures below began to stir restlessly, seemingly less afraid. The Taotie race was small, numbering only a dozen or so. The boundary was too long; even the Taotie in their true forms couldn't keep up with all of them, and they would suffer a backlash if they devoured too many.
The White Tiger clan should have been the first to arrive, but something unprecedented seemed to exist beneath the Netherworld River, capable of merging and devouring the White Tiger's ferocity. Therefore, there was no bloodshed or conflict. If the Black Tortoise clan cannot withstand this, a significant calamity will befall the mountains and seas.
Qin Nan: "You are Bai Ze, you should know how to handle this matter?"
Bai Hao paused for a moment and said, "I see a fog. All Bai Ze see a fog in this matter. This is the cause of the Heavenly Dao. Even as a Bai Ze, one is not qualified to understand the Dao of Heaven and Earth."
Qin Nan looked at Bai Hao thoughtfully: "Then, why did you take me with you?"
Bai Hao looked up and stared directly at Qin Nan, then leaned down and planted a kiss on his forehead, saying, "The closer I get to you, the thinner the fog becomes. You seem to be the reason I've been searching for."
