Chapter 165 Chapter 165 (Sixth Update) This time the finale...
Bai Qingqing returned to the studio and sent a message to Bai Siming, saying that she was back.
The bed in the bedroom was already occupied by Jiang Mu Ning. She lay down on the sofa in the living room very consciously. When she put the pillow behind her head, she saw a dark shadow appearing on the stairs.
Bai Siming went downstairs quietly and asked her softly, "Are you okay?"
【fine. 】
Bai Qingqing turned off the lights on the first floor as soon as she entered the room. In the darkness, even though Bai Siming couldn't see her face clearly, he could hear the deep weariness in her voice.
"good evening."
Seeing Bai Qingqing coming back, Bai Siming felt relieved. He turned and went upstairs, leaving the space on the first floor for her to rest.
Since she didn't have to go to work in the middle of the night, Bai Qingqing had nothing to worry about. She turned over and lay on the sofa, hugging the pillow and falling asleep in a second.
The next day dawned.
The aroma of food came from not far away. Bai Qingqing opened her eyes in her sleep and heard the sound of pots and pans colliding gently in the kitchen.
Bai Siming stood by the stove and turned around, bringing the plate in his hand to the dining table. He turned around and saw Bai Qingqing stretching lazily on the sofa.
"Are you awake? Wash up and have breakfast." Bai Siming called her.
In front of her, Jiang Mu Ning just passed by, and there was a glaring red streak on his slender neck.
"Yeah." Bai Qingqing frowned, her eyes passed by Jiang Mu Ning and looked out the window. It was not very bright outside, but it was getting late.
She sat on the sofa with a heavy head, yawning, her eyes wandering around the living room: [Move, Bai Siming, change the place to make your studio. ]
Bai Siming put down the plate in his hand, straightened up and looked at her.
Bai Qingqing noticed his gaze.
Although she had a plan to deal with the Heavenly Dao, what if she failed to win and the world did not restart? Only she would die, and the people in the small world would have to continue living.
Remind Bai Siming, maybe he will have an extra life in the future.
Bai Qingqing scratched her brow and stood up: [I calculated with my fingers, it is safer for you to move, and it is also safer to stay away from Jiang Mu Ning. Otherwise... be careful of getting into trouble.]
Bai Qingqing shook her head and went upstairs to find her toiletries.
Seeing her go upstairs, Jiang Mu Ning took out the medicine box from the cabinet yesterday, walked up to Bai Siming, and asked him softly, "Second brother, can you help me change the medicine?"
Bai Siming: “…”
After several conversations, Bai Siming has pieced together the general situation. Perhaps his sister Jiang Mu Ning will sell his identity to the drug lord one day, so it is dangerous for her to know the location of the studio.
His eldest brother also called him last night and asked him to move, but he didn't give many details.
But at a glance, everyone in the family should be wary of Jiang Muning.
What on earth happened? How could Mu Ning...
"Second brother?" Jiang Mu Ning looked at him motionless for a long time and called him again.
Bai Siming took the medicine box from her hand and asked her to sit down at the dining table. After opening the medicine box, he took out several bottles of medicine and ointment and applied the medicine to her skillfully: "Okay."
"Thank you, second brother." Jiang Muning thanked him sweetly.
Bai Siming took back all the medicine bottles, carried the medicine box back to the cabinet, and turned around with a complicated expression.
What Qingqing said made sense. It was time for him to move.
…
After breakfast, Bai Siming booked the two earliest tickets for Jiang Mu Ning and Bai Qing Qing, and sent them to the airport wearing a mask and a hat.
The two girls did not bring any luggage when they came. Jiang Mu Ning still had a bag, but Bai Qingqing came empty-handed.
There are few tourists and people at Luocheng Airport.
Bai Siming accompanied them to wait for the flight. Not long after, the two of them sent Jiang Mu Ning to the boarding gate.
Before leaving, Jiang Mu Ning suddenly turned around and ran back to Bai Siming. After hesitating for a moment, he said to him, "Second brother, I'm sorry."
Bai Siming: "...What's wrong? Why are you apologizing suddenly?"
Jiang Mu Ning shook his head: "I'm sorry to bother you so suddenly, brother. I hope you can forgive me."
There was a subtle change in Bai Siming's eyes.
Jiang Mu Ning seemed to have suddenly put down a worry, turned around again, and resolutely set out on the return journey.
She owed Bai Er an apology in her previous life.
Even if he was just a few paragraphs in a novel, a fictional, non-existent character, a tool NPC, she still wanted to apologize to Bai Siming.
Now, she finally said the apology she owed him in her previous life to him in person.
Bai Siming was somewhat puzzled by Jiang Mu Ning's sudden apology.
After looking at Jiang Muning's receding back for a few seconds, he lowered his head to look at the plane ticket in his hand.
When he was about to send Bai Qingqing away, she waved her hand and walked directly out of the airport. While Bai Siming was halfway through his questioning expression, he answered first: [Don't look at me, I didn't come here like this. ]
Bai Siming: "Then you..."
[I came to the airport with you to watch her leave. Come on, you can go home now.]
Bai Siming: “…”
Bai Qingqing got into his car and smiled.
It's so much easier not to have to open your mouth to speak.
*
Bai Qingqing returned to the 5,000-square-meter manor that Ao Xinyi and Bai Shuting had prepared for her. Lying on the 300-square-meter bed in her bedroom, she lamented the exaggeration of the world of novels.
Of course, she was only exaggerating the size of the bed.
Ao Xinyi seemed to have left this manor to her as a property. The entire manor covered an area larger than the Bai family's main home in Shengwan. In the manor of several thousand square meters, she was the only living person walking around.
Bai Qingqing pushed open the door, said hello to the bodyguards at the door, and went to the restaurant with the four people who surrounded her from front and back.
When she was going down the stairs, she suddenly said: [Stop.]
【Wait a moment. 】
The two bodyguards walking in front continued to move forward, as if they didn't hear anything.
Bai Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, and then shouted loudly in her heart: [Someone come!]
【ah! ! 】
The five of them walked down to the first floor in unison. In the spacious and luxurious hall that looked like the Biti Palace, Bai Qingqing waited for three minutes but saw no one running towards her.
very good.
She sat down at the dining table, ate her breakfast, and thought of a strategy in her mind with peace of mind.
For some unknown reason, Bai Shuting and Bai Lincheng suddenly started a conflict with the Jiang family in China, and launched a fierce attack on all the large and small businesses under the Jiang and Nie families. Even outside of business, Nie Wanqing's laboratory was affected.
Although he is just the richest man in East Province, Bai Shuting and Ao Xinyi are able to cut off the capital chain of Jiang Group. They are worthy of being the villains who can survive until the finale and die. Bai Qingqing wants to applaud them after seeing this.
The problem is——
The chaotic plot has obviously been brought forward again.
She couldn't understand the purpose of the Bai and Ao families doing this at all. Moreover, she was not in the country now, and unlike what was written in the original book, they did not use blood ties as a threat in the later part of the novel to force Bai Shuting and Ao Xinyi to deal with Jiang Jin and Jiang Muning.
But judging from the results, even without her, the Bai family is still fulfilling the villain's mission.
Bai Qingqing chopped up the steak in a few moves, picked up a large piece of meat, put it to her mouth and bit it slowly, feeling a little depressed.
She often analyzed the motives of the Bai family's actions one by one in front of them, and often talked about their final outcomes.
I just don’t know how much they actually heard.
It is possible that this is the reason why the Bai family is doing this now.
They wanted to counterattack in advance to protect themselves, but it just happened to coincide with the original arrangement of the villain's family.
There was no doubt about the way of heaven during this period, and the heroine's family also suffered real losses because of the actions of the Bai family.
This means that they have continued this plot...
By the same token...if you want to kill Tiandao, it has to happen at the corresponding plot point, and Tiandao will be most likely to react.
She wants to push the finale forward.
Bai Qingqing tapped the table with her fingertips, quickly put down her fork, and pulled out a gourd from her pocket.
The knot of the red rope on the waist of the gourd was tied longer, all the way to the end of the rope.
She loosened the red string a little, shook the gourd, and asked the evil spirit inside: "Was the last Tiandao delicious?"
There was no echo in the gourd.
Bai Qingqing untied another knot and shook it even harder: "Don't play dead. You talked to me last time."
The servant in the restaurant withdrew his gaze and looked straight ahead.
Bai Qingqing heard an echo in her mind: "...delicious."
"Did you and Wushang capture people and set up formations in many places across the country? If you do me this favor, I will also capture Tiandao for you to eat, so that you can have enough at once."
“…”
Although the evil spirit did not respond, Bai Qingqing sensed a sense of doubt and immediately stood up from the dining table, carrying the gourd and walking outside, waving her hand to tell the people behind her not to follow her.
"It's no use for me to keep useless things. Either help me or die now. Choose one."
"when?"
"Right now."
On the endless green lawn, a tiny figure walked and walked and then disappeared under the strong sunlight.
Bai Qingqing recalled the original text in the book.
All the details that she had once glanced over now came to her mind one by one.
In order to cultivate gods to replace the current Dog Tiandao, Wuchang plans to shake the foundation of Tiandao from the two paths of Dragon Vein and Sky Vein, and sets up formations in many places across the country.
Whenever Wu Shang and the evil god arrived at a place, they would collect materials nearby, capture people nearby to cultivate believers, and take the opportunity to put some souls with special destinies into the formation, waiting to be used in the future.
The author exaggerated the turbulent atmosphere in the finale, and also described the news of evil cults breaking out in various parts of the country, which indirectly described Wu Shang's preparations for his conspiracy.
Now Wu Chang is dead, but the people he had gathered and the formation he had prepared halfway are still there.
Now is the perfect time for the evil god to destroy all the work he had done.
There can still be news, as long as some news related to the supernatural and metaphysics breaks out across the country, it should meet the requirements of this plot.
…
Early September, a full half month.
While Bai Qingqing was practicing, she led the evil spirit across the country to track down the places where Wu Chang had been and break the formation. Every time a Wu Chang stronghold was destroyed, people from the Special Investigation Bureau would follow to clean up.
Those who can be saved will be taken back for rescue, and those who cannot be saved will have their souls dispersed and their bodies properly preserved.
After cleaning up, I’ll publish some local news with a supernatural twist and then retire.
The climax of the farce between the Bai and Jiang families had just passed, and netizens across the country were just beginning to feel a little aesthetically fatigued.
People died in large numbers in various regions due to various reasons, and the number of deaths reported each time was quite high.
It was either because of a series of car accidents or because of some certain accidents. A few isolated incidents were fine, but when they accumulated to dozens, netizens from all over the country felt that something was wrong.
It feels like this early autumn is full of disasters.
Such a big commotion naturally attracted Jiang Muning's attention.
She had personally experienced this in her previous life. At that time, she was exhausted physically and mentally by Wushang and Bai Qingqing's frequent trouble-making. When news of an evil cult spread everywhere, she knew without guessing that Wushang was behind it.
Although the current news was somewhat biased and the time had not yet arrived, Jiang Muning somehow corresponded to the events of his previous life and was clearly aware of them.
The confusing plot brought forward the finale.
The moment he realized this, Ji Ke was answering the phone at their home in New York City while getting a cup of hot water from the water dispenser.
She originally thought that she had been away with Ji Ke for too long. The originally scheduled engagement party date was approaching, and the elders in the family were urging them to go back quickly.
But now…
Ji Ke answered the phone, his eyes, which usually showed no emotion, now showed gentleness, and handed the cup of warm water to her.
The moment he stretched out his hand to her, he heard something said on the other end of the phone that froze the gentle smile in Ji Ke's eyes.
Jiang Muning raised his hands to take the water cup, but his fingertips were suddenly hit by heavy objects one after another.
"What did you say?"
The eighteen dark brown Buddhist beads broke without any warning on Ji Ke's wrist, fell to the ground with a "crackling" sound, passed through Jiang Mu Ning's fingertips, and seemed to hit her heart one by one.
Ji Ke looked at his wrist and was distracted for a moment. However, he quickly came to his senses after hearing the question from the other end of the phone.
Seeing that Jiang Mu Ning was distracted, he took the glass from her hand and placed it on the table beside her.
"It's okay, grandma. It's just that... the beans were spilled. Ningning and I will clean it up and will be back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Jiang Muning's heart was trembling. He sat up on the sofa, his eyes red, and asked him silently: What's wrong?
Ji Ke gave her a soothing look, hung up the phone, and without paying attention to the Buddhist beads rolling all over the floor, he pressed her shoulders, pushed her back to the sofa and said, "Grandma said that our engagement party is coming soon, and she's urging us to go back."
"What else?" Jiang Muning asked anxiously.
"And..." Ji Ke took a deep breath, and a smile appeared between his pale eyes. He smiled with some sadness in his eyes, "There is another elder who is very important in my life."
"He's back, and he made a special trip to the capital... to attend our engagement party."
Liar.
Jiang Muning bent his thin back as if exhausted, lowered his head and shed tears.
She knew who Ji Ke was talking about, and she knew who had returned.
Master He Guang...
The plot of the finale really started early, five years early, but all the people who were supposed to come came, and everything that happened happened.
Ji Ke was a little panicked. He squatted beside the sofa and wiped her tears: "Ningning, why are you crying?"
Jiang Mu Ning lowered her head, tears falling like beads from a broken string, hitting Ji Ke's palm one by one: "Your Buddhist beads are broken. You have worn them for so many years..."
"It's okay, it's nothing, just pick it up." Ji Ke let her go, squatted on the ground and picked up the Buddhist beads one by one, and finally picked up the string that had broken for no reason on the ground.
Jiang Muning cried even more sadly.
Ji Ke showed her a look and then put the beads away: "They are fine, not damaged. I will find someone to string them together later, just like before."
Jiang Muning nodded.
She hesitated for half a month and didn't dare to meet Bai You, but now she has to go.
In the battle with Wushang in the previous life, the system helped a lot. Now the time point is advanced so much. Even if she finds Bai You to gain enough favorability and downloads the system again, where can she collect so many points in such a short time?
More importantly, her life is over again, and it is so different from her previous life. Can Ji Ke still survive?
Ji Kui's face appeared in Jiang Muning's mind.
She didn't dare to gamble.
Jiang Muning's mind was in a mess for a moment. He forced himself to calm down with shaking hands. After taking a deep breath, he stood up and said, "Ake, I have a cousin here who I haven't seen for many years. His name is Bai You. Before we leave, let's go and give him the invitation in person."
"I want to invite him to the engagement ceremony."
Ji Ke habitually agreed to her words, and looked at Jiang Mu Ning with his eyes. He felt that she seemed to be trembling, and asked with some concern: "Ning Ning, are you feeling unwell?"
"No, it's my period, so I get a little emotional. I'm fine now."
Ji Ke quickly handed the hot water that he had just put aside back to her and agreed, "Okay, where does your cousin live? Do you want to make an appointment in advance?"
Jiang Muning found a blank invitation card, sat down at the table, clenched his numb palms, opened his hands, picked up the pen, and wrote the two words "Bai You".
"No, my cousin is not in good health and is always at home. We can just go there directly."
Ji Ke looked at the name she wrote.
Last name: Bai.
It seems that he is really her cousin...
…
The next day, Jiang Muning and Ji Ke flew back to China on a private plane, landed directly in Beijing, and returned to the Ji family's old house.
Jiang Jin, Nie Wanqing and the old lady of the Jiang family knew that they were coming back, so they waited for Jiang Mu Ning at the Ji family in advance and talked about the engagement banquet in two days.
I heard before that Ji Ke grew up in a temple and was raised by Master Heguang, so Master Heguang could be considered half of Ji Ke's father.
When Ji Ke was eighteen years old, he left the temple and returned to the Ji family. Master Heguang also traveled around the world. They had never met each other before and thought they would never see each other again in this lifetime. Unexpectedly, the master would make a special trip to the capital city for Ji Ke's engagement.
The parents of both sides sat together early, and Master Heguang also sat in the VIP seat, chatting together about the interesting things that happened to Ji Ke when he was a child.
When Ji Ke and Jiang Mu Ning appeared in the main hall of the Ji family's old house.
Jiang Muning's eyes passed through the crowd and he immediately saw Master He Guang sitting at the top. His heart trembled with fear, his gaze stayed on him and he pursed his lips.
She quickly looked at the main seat of the Ji family. On one side sat the old lady of the Ji family, and on the other side sat Ji Kui...
Jiang Muning looked at He Guang and Ji Kui, took a deep breath without leaving any trace, and stepped into the threshold of Ji's house.
When Jiang Jin and Nie Wanqing saw their daughter, they immediately went over to greet her with a smile: "How was your relaxing break? Are you feeling better?"
When Jiang Muning originally planned to go abroad, Jiang Jin and Nie Wanqing thought it was a little inappropriate, but they didn't expect that she had already bought the plane ticket.
Later, the Bai family incident happened and the situation became very chaotic. The Jiang couple was worried that Ningning would be sad if she found out, so they simply let her stay out for a while.
It’s just right to come back now.
The news of the struggle with the Bai family had subsided, and the date of their daughter's engagement party with Ji Ke was approaching. The couple was indescribably happy and kept asking their two children how they were doing and whether they had gone anywhere to play.
The two children greeted Master Heguang and were surrounded by their parents and family members, who started a detailed chat with them.
After sitting for a while, Ji Kui felt bored and suddenly stood up to say goodbye, saying that he had something to do.
Jiang Muning's eyes followed him unconsciously, and after Ji Kui left, he became obviously absent-minded.
After more than half an hour, he also left with an excuse.
Master He Guang cast a calm gaze on Ji Ke and suddenly said, "Ji Ke, come here. I want to talk to you alone."
The whole family's face changed.
Ji Ke's face turned slightly pale. He stood up from his seat. Before he reached Master He Guang, Master He Guang stared at his empty wrist and asked, "Ji Ke, where are your Buddhist beads?"
