Chapter 532 You Old Witch
Chapter 532 You Old Witch
A story from ancient times to the present was clearly outlined in a moment, without any prelude, which seemed a bit abrupt.
Accompanied by the mountain breeze, the grass at the foot of the mountain ripples like waves.
Wu Jinliang listened carefully and thought about it, then he couldn't help grinning and chuckling after hearing it.
When he first arrived in Dazhi City, he and Shi Chun realized that Bai Qiru's expulsion from the family was not that simple, so they discussed the matter. At that time, they felt that there was something wrong with Bai Qiru's acceptance of Huang Yingying.
At that time, I thought about Huang Yingying thoroughly.
After much thought, he couldn't see what was so great about Huang Yingying that was worth the Bai family's effort. At that time, he felt that Huang Yingying's only shining point was that her ancestors were very powerful.
At that time, I suspected that Bai's efforts might be related to Huang Yingying's arrogant ancestor.
Now, sure enough, it is correct.
They really predicted it right, and it really is related to Jin Zhan.
It’s just different from their perception. It’s not about ulterior motives, but about repaying a favor.
Repaying a favor? Wu Jinliang chuckled and scratched the corner of his mouth.
Because he happened to have a wild suspicion at that time, maybe Bai received some favor from Huang Yingying's ancestors and came to repay the favor.
As a result, Chuntian directly rejected it with a petty mind. Chuntian said that he didn't believe that the ancient kindness could last so long, but the interests might always be coveted.
Well, now Grandma Qi is slapping the gratitude in his face.
He didn't know if it was a ghost or not, but he felt that he was quite petty. After thinking about it, he felt that Chuntian's words made more sense.
In his heart, he also despised himself and Chuntian for their petty minds that came from the land of exile.
But Grandma Qi felt that she had expressed herself very calmly. She thought this was a very melancholy and sad thing. What was this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes doing? Was he laughing at her or did he not believe it?
So she explained, "The Phoenix Clan cherishes their wings very much. They still feel resentful about the stain left on their wings by the Golden Rat Clan after so many years. You also saw that Huang Yingying was clearly the victim in the incident in Dazhicheng, but they detained her just because of a little suspicion."
Wu Jinliang was not stupid and could understand that this was an explanation to him as to why the Bai family had not been able to successfully repay their gratitude for all these years.
He nodded and said, "I understand. Grandma is right."
Grandma Qi wanted to ask him, if what he said is right, then why are you laughing so hard? She immediately added: "In fact, in history, my Bai family has occasionally found ways to rescue some golden-haired mice. Huang Yingying is not the first one to be treated as kindly as she was to Huang Yingying."
This was the first time in her life that she had seen someone act so disrespectful in front of her.
Seeing that the other party's eyes seemed to be looking at him with something wrong, Wu Jinliang immediately stopped his habit of grinning and changed his expression to a respectful one in an instant.
Of course, that didn't stop him from asking the question in his mind, "Grandma, this is a top secret of your Bai family. How could I be so worthy of your trust after just meeting you for the first time?"
Grandma Qi said: "It's not that I trust you, but I trust Huang Yingying."
"Trust Lao Huang?" Wu Jinliang was stunned and pointed at himself subconsciously. His meaning was obvious. What does trusting Lao Huang have to do with telling me secrets?
Grandma Qi said simply: "Because Huang Yingying trusts you and said you can save him!"
"..." Wu Jinliang was still a little confused, but he knew about this. Bai Qiru told him when he found him. It was Lao Huang who repeatedly told him to find him when he was arrested, saying that he could rescue him.
The question is, isn't this a hasty excuse? Is it worthy of someone of your status to say it? Isn't this just being a rogue?
He asked in confusion, "Just because of what Old Huang said, you told me, an outsider who doesn't know the details, the Bai family's top secret that has been passed down for countless years?"
Grandma Qi: "Of course, there are also the abilities you have demonstrated. As soon as you arrived in Yaoshan City, you became friends with the proprietress of Zhulang Pavilion, as well as the inner court officer Lou Xiu. You even entered the Divine Mountain as soon as you said so, and you were able to wander around the Divine Mountain. Doesn't this prove what Huang Yingying said? And the Jihuo Sect actually values you so much."
Wu Jinliang was speechless, and couldn't help scratching his head and said, "Junior still can't figure out what this has to do with telling me the secret?"
Grandma Qi slammed the cane in her hand on the ground vigorously, "To make you believe us faster, and believe that we are heading in the same direction!"
He turned around, walked slowly to the edge of the mountain with his cane, looked into the distance and said sadly: "Although I don't know why Huang Yingying firmly believes that you have the ability to rescue him from the sacred mountain, but what is the meaning of rescuing only him? I said, we in the Bai family have done individual rescues before, the key point is what to do with the golden-haired rats trapped in the sacred mountain?
This responsibility passed down from generation to generation has really been borne by our Bai family for too long. I also don't want the descendants of the Bai family to always be servile and subservient in front of the Feng clan. The patriarch of the Bai family was once the old mother of the Feng clan. Whenever there is any dispute among the clan members, people will use this matter to poke their noses and laugh at them.
My life span will not be too long, I hope that I can completely solve this burden in my lifetime. The reason why I tell you all this is that I don’t want you to act recklessly. If you forcibly rescue Huang Yingying, the entire golden-haired rat clan will be implicated.
The method should be more comprehensive and the approach should be more stable. I believe you all know a little about my Bai family's reputation in the Phoenix Clan. With my Bai family's cooperation and mutual efforts, won't the possibility of success be much greater?"
Wu Jinliang probably understood that they were here to discuss cooperation.
Seeing that there was no response behind her, Grandma Qi continued, "Once the Phoenix Clan knows the secret of our Bai family, it will be a disaster for our Bai family. Now that this handle is in your hands, I don't need to say how sincere you are.
Again, for the sake of the entire golden-haired rat clan, my Bai family has already shouldered too much. Saving Huang Yingying alone is absolutely not a good idea. Before we can coordinate a suitable solution, I will not let you do whatever you want.
Just in case, to prevent you from acting impulsively, and to prevent you from easily revealing the Bai family's secrets, you should stay with me for the time being until a proper rescue plan is reached."
Wu Jinliang is not stupid. The so-called "staying by your side temporarily" is just a nice way of saying it. In fact, isn't he just holding him hostage?
Only then did he realize that the old woman's purpose in revealing the secret was to arrest them with a legitimate reason.
You old witch, he almost cursed, I didn’t ask you to reveal the secret, you revealed it on your own initiative!
It was the first time he had seen someone play this way, finding someone to tell a secret to, and then detaining that person to keep it secret.
Even in the shameless Land of Exile, he had never seen this way of negotiating cooperation. Today he learned something.
But the other party's strength is there, there is no point in having any opinions. If you dare to scold him, you might suffer losses, so you have to swallow the dirty words.
At the same time, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I exchanged my identity with Chuntian and managed to fool the old witch. The real boss was outside, why were you arresting me?
His previous enthusiasm of pretending to be the boss was now completely ruined, and he felt like he was shooting himself in the foot.
So Shi Chun, who was hiding in a forest of heart-wrapped grass somewhere and waiting for news, received a message from Wu Jinliang.
Grandma Qi only detained Wu Jinliang and did not cut off his external contacts. That meant that she hoped the forces behind Wu Jinliang would come out to discuss cooperation with him.
There was no other way. After patting the young man Wu Jinliang's body, Grandma Qi understood Wu Jinliang's cultivation clearly. She believed that there must be a corresponding force behind Wu Jinliang, otherwise how could a few small figures be worthy of the Jihuo Sect's attack.
During the interrogation, Wu Jinliang informed the public of the news that he was being held hostage and also provided detailed and clear information about the relevant circumstances.
After Shi Chun understood the situation clearly, he couldn't help but frown. It was understood that if the Bai family didn't have the support of the Phoenix family, they would be just a third-rate existence in the demon world. How could they have the courage to get involved in this matter?
He had used Bai to save people before, but he was afraid that Bai would not try his best. He did not expect that the other party's desire to actively get involved was beyond his imagination.
What a bullshit repayment! With his personality, he doesn't even believe in it.
This is the Jihuo Sect, the Phoenix Clan, and the Demonic Path. Even he, who knows the inside story, doesn't dare to act rashly. He really doesn't know how the Bai family, who don't know the inside story, dared to get involved. He was worried about the Bai family, worried that they wouldn't be able to get away.
The only explanation is that the goal is big and one is willing to take the risk.
They themselves often do such things, otherwise how could they be entangled by the evil way.
In addition, in the message that came, Wu Jinliang told him that he had returned to the sacred mountain.
He said that the Bai family's gang was too much. They actually put a big man like him into a box and carried him back to the mountain in such a big way.
Chu Jingtang and the others were also packed up and taken up the mountain. Shi Chun now felt like a lonely person.
At the same time, in the Jihuo Sect's base on the sacred mountain, Qiu Ben was wandering in the hall, and the eldest disciple Huang Lang was wandering under the eaves outside the hall.
Suddenly, Huang Lang picked up the mother-child talisman in his hand and looked at it, then quickly entered the hall and reported urgently, "Yin Tianlu and his men have gone out of the city to check, and they have indeed lost contact with Master Hao and his men. The noise of the fight may have come from Master Hao and his men."
Qiu Ben was suspicious and said, "In order to get the upper hand, the sect gave the 'Golden Ring of the Sun' to Junior Brother Hao for protection. In other words, the fighting noise was caused by the 'Golden Ring of the Sun' fighting with someone else. A master at the Celestial Realm took action. Who was it? We were already cautious enough to arrest those few bastards, but the people who protected them were even more cautious than us..."
With a look of determination in his eyes, he said to his disciples in a deep voice, "Notify the sect immediately, establish good relations with Jukuzhou, block the exit of Xunmen, and never let them escape. Hurry. At the same time, inform the people behind Zhulang Pavilion. I will go directly to the pavilion to arrest them!"
"Yes." Huang Lang bowed and accepted the order, knowing that the sect might owe him a big favor this time.
"If we go too late, those two guys might get away. Let's go!" Qiu Ben flicked his sleeves, walked out quickly, and called on his disciples to set off immediately.
