Chapter 124 Chapter 124 Afraid that her father would see it on the screen...
Ji Ke's eyes were shocked.
The wind was blowing and the clouds were moving. The azure blue sky shone through the gaps in the dark clouds, and it sank down towards the Bai family restaurant with a subtle controlling force, hovering invisibly around a group of people.
Bai Qingqing looked at the people across the table with a smile. She tightened the red string on the trembling gourd with both hands under the table, and tied a knot on it with her fingertips filled with spiritual energy.
The uncle and nephew of the Ji family looked expressionless, but there was still some tremor in Ji Ke's eyes. Ji Kui was like an old fox, and after he smiled and revealed Wu Shang's name, his eyelids did not even move.
Could this cooperation in acting bring out some real information?
Bai Qingqing smiled and glanced at Jiang Mu Ning's face which turned pale in an instant. She was not surprised that she was now afraid of Wu Shang.
Although she didn't know why there was a wisp of Heaven's Dao in her body, it was obvious that this thing had helped her before.
Now that she thinks about it, Jiang Mu Ning in the novel she read created a lot of coincidences.
Whether it's the Bai family in East City, or the Jiang and Ji families in Beijing City, including everyone she meets in her career, she accurately matches the likes and dislikes of each character and seizes every opportunity.
When she originally read the novel as a pastime, she thought that the author wrote a sweet and refreshing story with Li Qingqing as a control group, and there was no need to dwell on the details.
But now that she was in the book, she had a different perspective on the matter.
Putting aside the storyline of The Way of Heaven, based on observations over this period of time, the laws governing the operation of this world are no different from the real world, so where do all these coincidences come from?
It's nothing but ulterior motives.
The novel sets out that Jiang Mu Ning was not reborn. If she did not know those people's preferences in advance, then the ray of heaven's way in the gourd would be her golden finger.
Now that she has no help, and her relationship with Ji Ke has not reached that point yet, Ji Ke may not always protect her and keep her completely safe. So what can she use to fight Wu Shang?
For some reason, the speed of the Heavenly Dao's descent today was much slower than usual. It was hovering around everyone, but had not yet fallen.
However, the little thing in his hand was trying to run away very violently.
Bai Qingqing sealed another talisman on the gourd and continued the previous topic, "Yes, it is Wushang. Mr. Kui knows him? What is the origin of Wushang? Does the Jingshi Xuanmen have any rules for him?"
"There are two other things that may be related to this."
Bai Qingqing paused and continued:
"First, two months ago, my uncle Ao Teng encountered a situation where someone set up a five-ghost luck formation against him. This small luck formation actually took my uncle's life.
Second, the Xuanmen fortune teller once gave Jiang Mu Ning a four-character comment, saying that she was the girl of destiny. "
"Originally, these two things were unrelated, but now that this person called Wu Shang wants to use this evil way to feed a living god, the nature of it is different."
"The girl of destiny?"
Ji Ke immediately reacted: "Miss Bai means that Wushang's real target is Miss Jiang?"
If this is true, Jiang Mu Ning's life is in danger. This matter must be told to Jiang Sui as soon as possible, and the people from Xuanmen and the Special Investigation Bureau must also be notified so that they can make preparations early.
Jiang Muning pursed his lips tightly and put on a panicked expression. He didn't understand why Bai Qingqing could be so kind as to tell her about Wu Chang's intentions towards her.
She was originally troubled by the fact that Wushang had not yet appeared, so she could not predict these words.
Now that Bai Qingqing has said this, Xuanmen will definitely send someone to protect her...
Jiang Muning looked frightened, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The other people at the table were confused.
When Bai Songxu heard that someone wanted to harm Jiang Muning, he did not leave but sat down immediately to continue listening.
Ao Xinyi's heart was hanging in the air, and he asked in confusion: "Wu Shang's real target is Mu Ning, what does this mean? Will Mu Ning be in danger?
The more she spoke, the more panicked she became. She couldn't help but stand up and asked the Ji family and Bai Qingqing, "Can anyone explain it more clearly? What happened? How is Ao Teng's life and death tribulation related to Mu Ning?"
Ji Ke frowned and looked at Jiang Muning heavily.
He knew his fate from a young age, that he would not live past the age of 22 and would be sacrificed to fate. In order to change his fate, his family sent him to a temple when he was only one month old and gave him to Master Heguang to raise, away from his relatives and the secular world, hoping that he could escape this disaster.
But Master Heguang let him go down the mountain when he was eighteen years old, saying that he had to face what he had to face.
He had already accepted his fate.
But now... in such a lonely life, there is actually another person facing the same fate as him?
What he wants to make up for is his destiny, which he cannot avoid or change.
Jiang Mu Ning is different. What Wu Shang did was nothing but a man-made disaster. He will definitely help her avoid this disaster!
Ji Ke's eyes changed, and he took a deep breath. He was about to explain for Ao Xinyi, saying that he would definitely protect Miss Jiang, when he heard his uncle speak first: "There is danger."
“If Miss Jiang really has a destiny destined by heaven, then it is almost impossible for an ordinary Feng Shui master to steal her luck, and she will definitely be discovered by heaven and suffer backlash.
Although Mr. Ao has no blood relationship with Miss Jiang, she has been in the Bai family and has been sitting on Miss Bai's fate for eighteen years, so her destiny has long been integrated with Mr. Ao's.
So it can be understood that Wushang opened a barrier from Mr. Ao, leaking some of Miss Jiang's luck, and then he could... take her fate to refine it, which means he wanted her life. "
Ji Kui spoke slowly and steadily, clearly referring to Jiang Mu Ning, but in the end he turned his gaze to Bai Qingqing sitting opposite him.
Everyone present changed their expressions.
Ao Teng had never thought that his life-or-death crisis was actually because of Jiang Mu Ning... Now that his life-ordeal was over, Mu Ning...
Ao Teng looked at Bai Qingqing with a slightly heavy expression.
His life was saved by his own niece, so would she bring disaster to Mu Ning... No, no, Wu Shang was able to cause such a big scene in Baotong County, it would definitely be dangerous to fight with him. Qingqing almost died this time, and she couldn't risk her life again.
Ao Teng swallowed his words and secretly shook his head at his niece who made eye contact with him, his eyes clearly telling her to stop talking.
Just as he was halfway through his gaze, he saw Bai Songxu, who was sitting farthest away, stand up again and shout, "How could this be? What kind of fairy tale is this? What does my uncle's death have to do with... Ningning?"
Ji Kui has explained it clearly enough just now.
Hearing Bai Jia Xiaowu's question, Ji Kui just raised his eyebrows at Bai Qingqing without saying a word.
Everyone's ears were buzzing with Bai Songxu's loud shouting like firecrackers: "Bai Qingqing, you already knew that my uncle's death was related to Ningning? Why are you saying it now?"
Bai Qingqing pulled the corner of her mouth helplessly towards Ji Kui, and slowly turned her gaze to Bai Songxu.
Even though he was barraged with questions, I felt relieved.
The way of heaven finally began to move.
Come and see the reactions of those who are not awakened, half-awakened, and awakened.
The gourd in the palm of the hand, which had just been sealed with a talisman and had been quiet for less than a few breaths, sensed the presence of Tiandao and began to struggle again.
However, there were seven or eight restrictions on his body, and even if he struggled hard, the noise would be no louder than a mosquito.
Bai Qingqing ignored it for the moment. She glanced at the faces of everyone at the table one by one and said, "What do you mean you knew it long ago? I just figured it out. Look, I said it out loud at the table without waiting a moment."
Bai Songxu was still in shock. After hearing her words, his brain was buzzing and he reacted slowly. He then asked, "Since you can save my uncle, you can definitely save Ningning, right?"
In the original novel, Wu Shang's existence was known to everyone. She and Jiang Mu Ning exchanged lives for eighteen years. After the fact that their destinies merged was revealed, Bai Songxu was the first to target Li Qingqing.
At that time, Li Qingqing was deceived by Wushang and used a secret technique to exchange her identity with Jiang Muning. After being exposed by Ji Ke, everyone knew of Wushang's existence and decided to lure him out and subdue him.
Bai Songxu was the first to come up with an idea.
She said that Li Qingqing owed Jiang Mu Ning a life because she had replaced him, so she should lure Wu Shang out. When Wu Shang found out that the person was not right, she would not do anything to her.
Bai Songxu is exactly the same as before.
Bai Qingqing didn't answer and turned her gaze to the next person.
Bai Si, who has always been a reasonable person and never offends anyone, remained silent. His expression showed that he did not agree, but he was still waiting for her answer.
Bai San looked dazed, and at first it was obvious that he was about to impulsively stand up and speak to her.
The way of heaven surrounded him. After struggling for a few times, Bai Siqi did not open his mouth and sat back down, seemingly immersed in his own thoughts.
Several expressions repeatedly appeared on his face, and it was obvious that he was being torn between two completely different moods. He was silent for a while, and then anxious, his eyes glued to Jiang Mu Ning, almost melting.
Bai Lincheng frowned, and leaned slightly towards Ji Ke and Ji Kui, tapping his fingertips on the table, obviously having thoughts on these two people.
Ao Xinyi on the other side seemed to have suffered a great shock. He looked at his daughter with red eyes, as if he was moved by Bai Songxu's words and felt that she could save Jiang Mu Ning. His eyes were asking for help.
Previously at the birthday party, Ao Xinyi had clearly lost control of the plot and sided with her, but now...
Bai Qingqing touched the red string with her fingertips, and her brows gradually wrinkled.
It seems that whether one can awaken, and whether one can be controlled again after awakening, is related to one's personality...
Bai Lincheng is the most rational person and the brain of the Bai family. He has a keen observation of details and was the first to awaken. Now he is not affected by the laws of nature at all.
Ao Xinyi is different. She already has a mother-daughter relationship with Jiang Mu Ning. Even though she is a person with her own opinions, she is still controlled by the way of heaven. Unless this bond disappears, it will continue to repeat itself.
While she was thinking, Bai Songxu pounded the table impatiently: "Bai Qingqing! Can you do it or not? Speak now!"
Bai Siqi's eyes were bloodshot, and he spoke immediately: "Bai Qingqing, tell me everything you know about Wushang!"
Ao Xinyi held Bai Shuting's hand and pleaded with hope: "Qingqing, if you know anything else, please tell us. We have many people, ahem… we can definitely come up with a solution."
Ji Ke frowned and said, "It's okay. Now that I know about this matter today, with my Ji family and Xuanmen here, we will definitely protect Miss Jiang."
Jiang Muning looked at Ji Ke with emotion, and tears welled up in his eyes.
The sky dropped another inch, almost touching Bai Qingqing's face.
The pressure made her heart ache, and when she looked up again, she felt that the faces opposite her had become intimidating, as if they were forcing her to give an explanation right here.
But what does it have to do with her?
Bai Qingqing couldn't help but feel aggrieved. She knew that she was being controlled by the Heavenly Dao, but she didn't resist. Instead, after watching Ji Kui's reaction, she began to untie the knots on the gourd in her hand one by one.
The Heavenly Dao in the gourd felt the seal loosening and began to tremble more violently.
Bai Qingqing's eyes were red and tears were falling. She quickly untied the knot in her hand and said, "Even if you force me to answer, I can't do anything. This is not a problem that I can solve alone."
“But I did see where Wushang lived. It was a three-story building in a wasteland. There was a smell of sandalwood around it. I think they were worshipping something.
Wushang set up an eight-door golden lock formation on the grass outside. I couldn't get in, so I just looked outside and came back. I have the address, and Mr. Ji can send someone to check it out. Maybe they still live there."
The seal of the gourd was opened, and a red rope more than a foot long was spread out on both sides.
Bai Qingqing blocked the mouth of the gourd with one hand, and with the other hand, under the pressure of the Heavenly Dao, she made hand gestures with great effort, using her own spiritual power to support a territory.
The first thing to do for today's meal has been completed.
Now the second one.
Bai Qingqing smiled and raised her eyes, feeling the pressure of the heavens approaching her. Fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead and nose. She stretched out her hand and grabbed a handful of air.
It is known that the Heavenly Dao within Jiang Mu Ning's body can be captured.
So... can I also catch the one that's falling from the top of my head?
A wisp of heavenly way in the gourd rushed upwards from the gap at the edge. The surrounding air seemed to pause at this moment, solidified into gelatin, flowing on the back of her hand, almost merging with the wisp of breath in the gourd.
"I got you."
The talisman that had been prepared long ago instantly formed a circle and tightened towards the center of the gourd. Bai Qingqing immediately stood up and quickly tied the red rope around the waist of the gourd with her fingers, saying to everyone, "I'm full. Now I'll write the address to Mr. Ji."
Everyone was stunned by her sudden action.
Even her actions just now were completely stunned.
Bai Qingqing paused and looked at Ji Kui who was standing beside Ji Ke: "Mr. Kui, do you have any objections?"
"Give me a copy too." Ji Kui put down the teacup that had just touched his lips, and stood up and said, "I am also tracking down Wu Shang. I didn't expect to hear clues from Miss Bai today."
"Okay, let's go together." Bai Qingqing left the table with a polite smile, raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face, and felt the way of heaven retreating rapidly in the reception restaurant. The grievance that had arisen for no reason in her heart was washed away.
All of a sudden even my vision became clear, and I could see these people's faces much more clearly.
Ji Ke stood up, and Jiang Muning followed suit, pulling his sleeve and getting up as well, whispering to him, "I'll go too. I should know what I'm going to face."
Ji Ke's gaze paused on her face, then he lowered his head and smiled: "Okay."
All the guests stood up, and Bai Shuting and Ao Xinyi also stood up and said, "Why don't we ask the two guests to move to the tea room?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Songxu and Bai Siqi stood up and tried to follow.
The people in the restaurant exchanged pleasantries. In the time it took for Ji Kui to finish his words, he had already walked to Bai Qingqing's side. He lowered his eyes and looked at the palm-sized gourd in her hand. He whispered to her, "I acted well in this scene, didn't I?"
Bai Qingqing cautiously put the gourd into her pocket and asked, "What did Mr. Kui find out about Wushang?"
Ji Kui smiled at her defensive look and stopped looking at what she was holding: "Didn't Miss Bai want to write down Wushang's address for me? Why are you trying to find out about Kui?"
"Mr. Kui is so amazing. He should have found out the obvious information long ago. Why would he ask me? I think Mr. Kui is trying to get close to me and really wants to borrow my gourd."
The two walked forward a few steps while talking, and when they reached the back of the column, Ji Kui bent down, lowered his head to her ear, and asked in a low voice, "How did you catch it just now?"
The footsteps behind the column were getting closer.
Bai Qingqing turned her head slightly and lowered her voice to answer him in his ear: "If you want to catch something, you have to know what it is first."
The two of them quickly moved away.
Ji Kui stood up. Bai Qingqing turned around and looked at Ao Xinyi, whose eyes were red, tears were in his eyes, and he was still coughing. She said reluctantly, "Don't worry. It will take more than one or two days to capture Wushang. Jiang Muning will be fine."
Ao Xinyi was still a little sad, but for some reason, he felt less emotional after leaving the restaurant. Instead, he analyzed the situation calmly: "Well, didn't Wushang say that he had to get Ningning's fate through someone else first? If he didn't succeed with your uncle, he will definitely think of other tricks. You all have to be careful."
Bai Shuting also responded: "I will inform everyone in the family tonight to be careful."
Ao Xinyi nodded with red and swollen eyes: "The adults are fine, there are many children in the family, don't let others take advantage of you if you are not careful. Tell Lao Bai's family to take good care of the children."
Bai Shuting nodded, and Ao Xinyi continued to speak gently to Jiang Muning: "And Ningning, you have to tell your family about this. Can you inform the Jiang and Nie families? They are your blood relatives and may be in more danger than us."
"I got it, Mom. Thank you." Jiang Muning held her hand.
"Silly child, what are you thanking me for..."
Ao Xinyi's heart softened and he looked at her with complicated eyes. In the face of life and death, he completely put aside the past.
She touched Jiang Mu Ning's head and whispered, "You didn't eat much tonight. The chicken soup for your health has been simmering in the kitchen. Drink a bowl before going to bed."
Jiang Muning nodded.
Ao Xinyi looked at Bai Qingqing again and said, "Qingqing, you too, I'll have Sister Qiao send a pot to your room later."
Bai Qingqing stared at her face without saying anything.
Bai Shuting was a little embarrassed: "The guests are all here, let's go to the tea room to discuss business first."
Ao Xinyi suppressed his cough and coughed twice, still feeling sad: "I am just heartbroken. I just want the children to have a better life. President Ji and Mr. Kui won't mind."
Bai Shuting helped her cover up the shawl that had slipped off her shoulders.
Ji Ke smiled faintly and said with some envy, "No problem. This is how a mother would naturally feel when she cares for her children."
Several people walked towards the elevator.
When walking to the sculpture in the living room, Ao Xinyi's shawl was caught by the sculpture's thin branches and half of it was torn off, and a light breeze blew along.
Bai Qingqing suddenly had an epiphany and saw the changes in Ao Xinyi's blurred expression.
[This external response came at a perfect time... The Heavenly Dao has dispersed, and even the facial features can be seen clearly.]
Ao Xinyi turned around and twisted his body to untie the tangled tassels on the sculpture with Bai Shuting. Hearing his daughter's thoughts, he couldn't help but glance at her.
Bai Qingqing seemed to be lost in thought. Combining external responses, she recalled the plot of the original novel.
[This cough is not caused by a cold, but by an external force. Is it... an allergy to the things Jiang Mu Ning sent home? ]
[My mother's cough is incurable, and the allergens cannot be found. She has been coughing for many years and there is no hope for her to recover.]
As Bai Qingqing thought about it, her mind began to race.
[It was several years later that she found out that she was allergic to some protease inhibitor. By then, her throat had already been damaged, and she had no intention of making a comeback. Her last thought was to use her past connections to pave the way for Jiang Mu Ning in the entertainment industry.]
[No wonder I felt that Jiang Mu Ning had deliberately sent people away. What was he doing alone under my window...]
The atmosphere around him changed invisibly, and all sounds slowed down.
Ao Xinyi pinched the thin tassel at the end of his shawl, and veins appeared on his thin fist.
Bai Qingqing cast a strange look at Jiang Mu Ning, and her expression inevitably revealed a bit of sarcasm: [Don't go to the extent of saying that to her.]
[Even if my mother and Jiang Jin had a brief affair when they were young, that was many years ago. Now she has a very good relationship with Big Black Bear.]
[Is Jiang Mu Ning so afraid that Jiang Jin would see his former lover Bai Yueguang on the screen and their family would be separated that he deliberately drugged him? Does he have so little confidence in his biological parents? ]
[We are talking about till! ! ? ! ]
