When Lin Ji left the palace and walked towards his residence, he was still thinking about what happened in the palace just now.
Without him, Emperor Pei and Eunuch Chu today would be too weird.
They said things that they should never have said in their position.
They are the vested beneficiaries of the Great Qin Dynasty's seizure of the nutrients of the Nine Provinces, and they are the ones who should most protect the current Great Qin.
A rhetorical question like Eunuch Chu's would not be too out of the ordinary if it came from the mouth of a monk from an aristocratic sect, or even if it came from the mouth of someone from the Jiantian Division.
They are the only two who should never say such things.
"Ask me right or wrong?"
Thinking of this, Lin Ji's face became heavier.
"Qin Pei is the contemporary emperor promoted by the Qin family. Even if Great Qin really cannot withstand the methods of the Palace of Eternal Life, his life should be safe. Why does he have the will to die? Why does he want to die?"
This was what Lin Ji couldn't figure out the most.
Logically speaking, even if the sky falls, Qin Pei can still save his life.
That day, the Qin family, who were three floors above the capital, could definitely protect their descendants even if they could not save the Qin Dynasty.
After much thinking, there was no result.
However, when Lin Ji walked to the door of his house, he suddenly stopped.
It wasn't that the questions in his mind were answered, but that the Tai Chi Yin Yang Fish in his mind suddenly began to flip over. The golden and black lines lingering on it moved through the fog, making the entire Yin Yang Fish gradually become clearer.
"Is it already time?"
Lin Ji had felt something as early as when he was in Yunzhou. After killing Bei Junyi, he had already touched the threshold of the middle stage of Taoism.
It's just that he himself knows nothing about the breakthrough to the Taoist realm, and his own Taoist path is different from others', so he has always thought of letting nature take its course.
Now that I'm back in the capital, it's finally a matter of course.
After thinking about it, Lin Ji jumped into the air. After a little bit of direction, he headed straight for the mountains and forests outside Beijing.
While moving forward quickly, he couldn't help but have a bit of a wry smile on his face.
"I don't know where Beishang has gone. Speaking of which, I can break through now only because I killed her father."
"This is really, really fucking awesome."
Just when Lin Ji was about to break through, Beishang, who was thinking a little apologetically in his heart, also had a better place to go.
Tianjing City, on the third floor, Bai Family.
After following his mother Bai Yuniang to meet the head of the family, Bai Su, Beishuang returned to the small courtyard where he was assigned with some caution.
The Tianjing Bai family is the pinnacle of the monk family in Kyushu.
The huge Holy Fire Cult is nothing compared to it.
On the way back, Beishuang heard Bai Luochuan, a senior of the Bai family, talk about how he, Bai Luochuan, was the leader among the monks who forced Qiu Rujun to fall three hundred years ago.
Now that Beishuang was inexplicably brought back to a place she had never known before, the fear in her heart was naturally difficult to explain.
Just when Beishang was confused and at a loss in the courtyard, there was a sudden knock on the door.
The door of the small courtyard was not closed. Beishang looked up and saw a handsome young man putting down his hand to knock on the door and smiling at her.
Beishang stood up quickly, but didn't know how to speak.
The young man quickly walked into the small courtyard and said with a smile: "My name is Bai Fengqing, you should call me uncle. I have heard Yu Niang talk about you for a long time, but I didn't know that I didn't meet you for the first time until you were so old.
It's rude of me as an uncle."
Beishuang was stunned for a moment, a little at a loss.
She grew up in the Holy Fire Cult and was trained as a saint. She was indifferent to her parents, let alone other relatives.
But Bai Fengqing looked very enthusiastic and said with a smile: "Don't be cautious. When you come to the Bai family, you can stay at ease. No one will pay attention to you on weekdays. You just treat it as a blessed place for cultivation."
"In the Bai family, even if you have a foreign surname, you are a member of the Bai family after being recognized by the head of the family. If you need anything for daily practice, just ask your servants to report it, and generally the warehouse will not refuse.
"
"Other than that, you don't have to worry about anything." At this point, Bai Fengqing's smile showed some inexplicable sarcasm, "Anyway, the direct descendants in the family are practicing the ruthless way, and they are all extremely indifferent. You
Ignore them and they will ignore you."
Beishang nodded subconsciously.
Bai Fengqing smiled and said: "If you encounter any trouble, just ask my servants to come to me. I am always at home and usually have no other place to go."
"After all, apart from your mother, the Bai family has nothing to worry about."
"My mother?" Beishang raised her head in surprise.
Bai Fengqing lowered her voice slightly.
"The inheritance of the Bai family's ruthless way is indeed powerful. It extends from one's own ruthlessness to the ruthlessness of heaven and earth. It is a pity that it can deprive Taoist monks of the connection between them and heaven and earth. If you want to be ruthless, you have to kill the emotion."
"She brought you back just to wait for the day when your cultivation reaches a bottleneck, and then kill you to see if she can break through."
Beishuang's eyes widened slightly.
She had long known that her mother had a cold temperament, but she had never thought of such a thing.
"But you don't have to worry too much." Bai Fengqing sneered again, "Her Bai Yuniang's talent is still far from the middle stage of Taoism. At least within a few years, your life will be safe."
"Girl, practice hard! In the Bai family, only those who have entered the Tao have some qualifications to speak. Mere Yuanshen monks like you and me, in the eyes of those big shots, are nothing more than ants who are related to each other. In other words, we are nothing more than ants.
When their cultivation resources are needed, they will try to kill them, even if they get nothing."
This was the first time Beishang heard these words, and it took her a long time to suppress the shock in her heart.
"Why are you telling me this?"
"It's just because I met so many people who share the same joys and sorrows that I couldn't help but say a few words."
Bai Fengqing smiled bitterly and said: "I have tried to leave Tianjing six times since the Yuanshen realm, but my family did not allow me."
"Why?"
"Because my father is a clan elder at the pinnacle of Taoism. He cultivates the ruthless Tao. If he gets a whim one day, I will probably lose my life."
This kind of Bai family is completely different from the Bai family she imagined.
Bai Fengqing sighed softly as if she could see what Beishuang was thinking.
"The Bai family has to pay some price to have its current status. Girl, take care of yourself now that you've come, and practice with peace of mind."
After the words fell, Bai Fengqing smiled at Beishuang, then turned and left.
But when he just walked to the door, another figure appeared outside the door.
It is Bai Yuniang.
Seeing Bai Yuniang appear, Bai Fengqing's face changed slightly and she subconsciously moved out of the way.
"Brother, what did you say to Beishuang?"
"I told you that you might kill her to become a Taoist priest in the future." Bai Fengqing didn't hold back.
Bai Yuniang didn't care either.
"It's just a useless move."
She no longer paid attention to Bai Fengqing, but looked at her daughter.
"Girl, I neglected you when I was in the Holy Fire Cult. Now that I'm back in Tianjing, if you need anything from now on, just tell my mother. As long as my mother can do it, my mother will never refuse."
Beishuang didn't speak.
Seeing the warm smile on Bai Yuniang's face, she couldn't say a word.
What are the symptoms after everyone turns negative? Why do I still have a cough after so many days? I feel tired and have a headache even after exerting a little energy!
