Under Xue Yuning's questioning, Lin Xianer's eyes turned red, tears burst out of her eyes again, and her shoulders kept shaking.
"I, I don't know, I want to go back. I don't know what kind of situation I will face when I go back. I don't want to drag Liang Xi into it. This matter cannot be solved by Liang Xi alone, and I don't want to let Tomato
Everyone in the city is involved."
"What should I do about Liang Xi? He likes you so much, but now you want to leave him!" Xue Yuning said in a louder voice.
She noticed that there was no movement in the bed curtains behind her. Based on her understanding of Liang Xi, the calmer Liang Xi was, the bigger her movements would be in the future.
"I, I don't want to leave Liang Xi, I also like him very much, I love him! But I can't help it - I really can't help it -" Lin Xianer's voice gradually became smaller, and bitter tears continued to flow in.
In the mouth.
Xue Yuning felt relieved again when she felt a weak breath rising behind the bed curtain.
"Are you willing to let Liang Xi go?" Xue Yuning asked softly, holding Lin Xian'er's little hand.
Lin Xianer was speechless at this moment and just shook her head.
"Then why are you leaving?" Xue Yuning continued to ask, "If my guess is right, you will pretend to be the same as before for a period of time in the future, and then suddenly leave without saying goodbye one day?"
Liang Xi also glanced sharply at her mouth and thought to herself, "If I hadn't been hiding here tonight, wouldn't I have known that my wife had run away?"
When Xue Yuning poked at the central point, Lin Xianer's whole body trembled, and finally she hummed softly.
"Have you ever considered how much harm it will cause to Liang Xi if you do this?" Xue Yuning looked at Lin Xian'er and said.
"I have no choice." Lin Xian'er gasped for air. When she thought of Liang Xi, her chest felt like tearing pain. "If we are destined, we will definitely meet again - I can't let him face danger anymore.
This is really not something he can do."
At this time, Liang Xi really had the urge to jump up and hit Lin Xianer hard on the forehead: "Goodbye, you thought you were reading a romance novel!"
Seeing that Lin Xianer had made up her mind, Xue Yuning sighed and said: "Now that you have made up your mind, I hope you will not regret it in the future. It is really painful to choose between your family and your lover."
Speaking of this, Xue Yuning couldn't help but think of the relationship between herself, her sister and Liang Xi.
Although Xue Yuning didn't think there was anything abnormal about a man having three wives and four concubines, she couldn't accept the thought of sharing the same husband with her own sister.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel sad, and her eyes were so hot that she almost shed tears.
Lin Xianer sobbed softly and stopped talking. Xue Yuning was also silent with her thoughts in mind, and the room became quiet for a while.
Suddenly Xue Yuning felt an itch on her back, and realized it was Liang Xi's fingertips scratching her back. Her heart suddenly thought: "What does he want to do at this time!"
Xue Yuning initially thought that Liang Xi was taking advantage of her, and she couldn't help but feel angry, but soon she discovered that Liang Xi was writing behind her back.
After paying careful attention, Xue Yuning knew that Liang Xi wrote the three characters "Bai Mufeng" and immediately understood what Liang Xi meant.
"Xian'er." Xue Yuning gently shook Lin Xian'er's arm.
"Huh?" Lin Xian'er raised her head, her eyes were red and swollen like peaches from crying, and she looked pitiful.
Xue Yuning hesitated for a moment, and finally asked: "Is it because of Bai Mufeng?"
After saying that, Xue Yuning stared closely at Lin Xianer's face, hoping to find something from the changes in her expression.
But to her surprise, Lin Xianer's expression did not change much. She shook her head and said, "It has nothing to do with Bai Mufeng. Why do you ask, Yu Ning?"
Xue Yuning was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "It was only after you saw Bai Mufeng's soul that day that you started to behave abnormally, so I asked you not to take it to heart."
"Oh." Lin Xian'er nodded obediently, "That was the first time I met Bai Mufeng. I had never heard of this person before."
Hearing Lin Xianer's answer, Liang Xi held her face in her hands and narrowed her eyes: "As expected, it has nothing to do with Bai Mufeng, so who could it be?"
Liang Xi closed her eyes and was about to recall the scene that day again, when she suddenly heard Lin Xianer say quietly: "Yu Ning, your family is a high-ranking official in Kyoto, right?"
It is not a secret that the vast majority of Tianling Sect disciples are from high-ranking officials or wealthy businessmen, especially female disciples. There is no exception.
Xue Yuning did not hide anything, nodded and said: "My father and uncle are both officials in the court."
"Yes." Lin Xian'er nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked, "How many generations have your family been officials? Did you grow up in Kyoto?"
Xue Yuning didn't know why Lin Xianer asked this question. She looked at her doubtfully and asked: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"
Lin Xianer explained: "About Bai Mufeng, I suddenly remembered something. If possible, maybe you can confirm it for me."
Hearing Lin Xian'er's words, Liang Xi's eyes suddenly opened.
Seeing Lin Xianer's serious expression, Xue Yuning replied: "Although my family has been officials for two generations, my ancestors have been living in Kyoto since my ancestors, so I can be considered a local in Kyoto."
"Well, that's good." Lin Xian'er said, "Then let me ask you, Yu Ning, did you hear about some unsolved mysteries in Kyoto when you were a child? I calculated that the two generations of your family who have been officials should be from your grandfather's generation.
To begin with, that generation should have been around for at least fifty years now."
Lin Xianer pondered for a moment and continued: "I should have heard of some."
Xue Yuning didn't quite understand what she heard, and asked: "Have you ever heard of an unsolved mystery? Does it have anything to do with it? Kyoto is so big, and I heard that some places are indeed quite evil. For example, there is a torch at the east city gate that can never be lit.
The stacks of walls, and the Luosi Alley that you should not pass at night. When I was a child, I heard people say that many people died there, and there were stories about killing people and building them into the walls. Do these have anything to do with Bai Mufeng?"
Lin Xianer shook her head and smiled slightly: "Of course these have nothing to do with Bai Mufeng. I just heard that Bai Mufeng's surname was Bai and that he died nearly a hundred years ago, so I subconsciously thought of the people in the court many years ago.
A case, so I asked if anyone in your family was an official in the court and how long they had been, because if it hadn’t been for two generations of officials, I probably wouldn’t have heard of this case.”
Lin Xian'er paused for a moment and said: "I heard from the older generation in my family that there was a lot of noise at that time, the city was full of storms, and even the city gates were closed under martial law. But later, I don't know why, it was left undisturbed, and the matter was also reported to others.
I deliberately suppressed it. After so many decades, very few people know about it."
The direction given by Lin Xian'er was already very obvious. Xue Yuning said to herself doubtfully: "The case in Chaozhong, the surname is Bai?"
Her mind was spinning rapidly, looking for clues in her memory.
Suddenly she froze, and a strange figure flashed in her eyes.
Liang Xi could even feel Xue Yuning's back trembling slightly.
"Xian'er, what you mean is that Bai Mufeng is from the Bai family?" Xue Yuning's voice had an indescribable strange flavor.
