One leaf after another, Bai Lu picked out the leaves from the palm of his hand and made a selection.

She always felt that it was difficult to calm down today. There were fewer and fewer people in the ancestral hall. It seemed that they all ran to greet Xiaoxiu, but why couldn't she read anymore?

I have a bad premonition somewhere.

She closed the page, stood up, and raised her head.

There are dark clouds hanging over the Snow Forbidden City.

Thunder and lightning.

The ancestral hall was instantly transformed into daylight.

The next moment, Bai Lu suddenly saw a familiar figure.

A boy in white.

"...little sleeves?"

She doubted her eyes a little.

The streets outside the Bai clan's ancestral hall were deserted, and the streets were quiet except for the rustling of the ginkgo trees.

Everyone left to greet Baixiu...and Baixiu came here quietly.

The mountain that countless geniuses in the Snow Forbidden City can't reach.

In fact, he has a rather immature baby face.

There was no expression on Baixiu's face... but there was solidified blood between her sleeves...

Blood?

Bai Lu was startled.

When Bai Xiu saw her, he just nodded and said nothing.

He walked straight towards the ancestral hall in the backyard, without disturbing a gust of wind or a leaf. After arriving at the ancestral hall silently, Bai Xiu looked at the plaques enshrined on the ancestral hall one after another.

He just watched silently.

There was no anger, no sadness, no color in the eyes... there was just calmness.

…

…

"Assassination?!"

Bai Chen couldn't believe his ears.

"The information I know is also very limited."

The second elder said softly: "I only know that...the other party has a very thorough plan and a very meticulous style of conduct. If you attack in the tundra wilderness, if you fail to succeed in one attack, you will retreat thousands of miles away."

"But the specific position of the little sleeves...only the Bai family knows." Bai Chen's expression gradually became complicated.

"Yes, that's the problem."

The second elder said: "To be precise, only a few people in the Bai clan know the information about Xiaoxiu."

For some words, it’s enough to just click on them.

"No...impossible..."

Bai Chen couldn't believe it and frowned: "How could there be such a person in the ancestral hall?"

The Bai family is in full swing!

Have yourself first, then show off your white sleeves.

The next two decades will be like twin stars in the sky!

As for Baixiu... he is a better and more talented person than himself. If he continues to develop at this rate, he may even become...

The next throne.

"The facts are before our eyes. No matter how unwilling you or I are to believe it, we must accept it... Someone leaked the news and organized this assassination, within the Bai family."

The second elder said expressionlessly: "This assassination was just a little bit successful. 'Qu Long' stepped forward at the critical moment and blocked Baixiu's blow. He died on the tundra. He wounded the assassin before he died.

”

When Shirasode left Nagano.

The Zongtang sent a "Guardian"... This is a position established by the five families hundreds of years ago. It has been passed down from generation to generation along with the patriarchal system. It is similar to "death warriors" and "life-sacrifice people". They dedicated their lives

For the clan, I am willing to become a shadow under the light.

The guardians of the Bai family and the guardians of the Li family's shrine mountain are not the same in terms of responsibilities.

But what you pay for is pretty much the same.

They also give everything.

It can be said...the meaning of Qu Long's life is to die for Bai Xiu.

There were faint veins bulging on Bai Chen's forehead: "Where is Little Sleeve now?"

"Zongtang."

The second elder said softly: "The protector of the Bai family is silent when he is born and silent when he dies. He will not leave a monument in the ancestral hall, nor will his name be left on the roster... Bai Xiu said that he wanted to take a look.

."

Bai Chen was about to leave and lowered his voice, "I'll check it out!"

"How to check..."

The second elder asked coldly: "Where can I find out? If you leave now, can you find out the truth?"

Bai Chen was speechless for a moment.

"The enemy is right in front of you..."

The old man wearing a high crown spoke softly. His vision passed over the Snow Forbidden City, including falling snow, fine rain, pale thunder, and one after another, waiting figures.

"Never...snatch the enemy off guard."

He stretched out one hand, slowly pressed Bai Chen's shoulder, and said calmly: "Today is a happy day for Bai Chen to complete the trial and return home. He has just broken through and achieved the ninth level of perfection. Everyone in Nagano Five

While you are watching here, do you want everyone to know...that there has been such a major change within the Bai family?"

Bai Mo lowered his head silently. His breath only changed for a moment, and soon returned to normal.

"We are here waiting for him to 'come back'. As for the tundra assassination..."

The second elder's high-gown belt swayed in the wind and said: "During the thorough investigation, we must suppress the rumors and not spread them outside!"

…

…

Baixiu stood silently in front of the ancestral hall.

After the wind and thunder, there will be heavy rain and heavy snow.

He did not enter the house.

He didn't shield himself from the rain, he just stood silently... This white clothes had actually been soaked in the tundra, but now it was soaked again.

Bai Lu stood under the eaves, watching this scene with some worry.

After seeing the blood on the cuffs of her white clothes, Bai Lu probably guessed what happened.

She took out the white silk and wanted to hand it to Xiao Xiu.

Baixiu didn't take it.

The two of them just stood in the heavy rain.

After a long time, Bai Xiu spoke.

His voice was a little confused: "Is it because of... my background?"

"..."

Bai Lu didn't know how to answer this question. She actually grew up with Xiaoxiu and had a vague understanding of the hidden story behind it.

The head of the Bai family is determined by blood.

Only direct descendants... can inherit the position of head of the family.

Unlike Bai Chen and Bai Lu, the two "big men" who were born according to their destiny, Bai Xiu's background was not noble.

No...it can even be described as "lowly".

His birth was just an "accident."

Baixiu's mother was a woman from the Jiangbei branch. She was frail and sick, and she used all her strength to give birth to him. And his father was an out-and-out bastard. It was said that he was thrown into the river to feed the fish...

When Baixiu's ability was awakened and he was sent to the Snow Forbidden City, the files were sealed immediately.

It's not just because the Bai family discovered the young man's powerful abilities and wanted to protect him as soon as possible.
To be continued...
