Chapter 953 I am here to verify something from the past.

In the study, Elder Bai saw that Bai Luoying's mood had stabilized a little, so he continued to persuade her earnestly: "Besides, your mother is preparing for a very important event now."

"Once this is successful, you will be able to walk around the entire Ximen family, not just the courtyard! Moreover, you will definitely get the status and respect you deserve."

He lowered his voice slightly and continued, "When that time comes, Grandpa will have to rely on you to take care of him in Tianyan Sect!"

After hearing this, the sobbing sound coming from the communication note gradually subsided.

Bai Luoying asked hesitantly: "Really? How long do we have to wait?"

Elder Bai was secretly delighted when he saw this.

He sat back in his chair with a calculating smile on his face: "Almost there, almost there..."

Just before he finished speaking, he suddenly changed the subject and asked, "By the way, Ying'er, have they found Ji Li'er?"

When Su Chenyin on the tree heard these words, his pupils contracted and his body leaned forward unconsciously.

"Not yet, Grandpa." Bai Luoying's voice became gloating, "They searched the Ximen family inside and out, even the rat holes in the dungeon, but they couldn't find that bitch Ji Li'er."

"Ximen Lie was furious and punished several guards. And Ximen Yinshuang was also crying out to the heavens all day, saying things like 'I don't want to die'."

Elder Bai frowned, "This Ji Li'er is not in the Ximen family. Did she really escape? Where did she escape to?"

"How should I know, Grandpa." Bai Luoying sneered, "Grandpa, was Ji Lier really not rescued by the Sect Master and the Young Master? Is she really not in the Sect?"

Elder Bai tapped the table unconsciously with his fingers, muttering to himself: "The sect master and the others didn't leave the banquet that day, how could they have time to save Ji Lier?"

Bai Luoying curled her lips in disapproval: "That's not necessarily true, maybe they have some secret passage."

Elder Bai shook his head, a sinister look flashing in his eyes: "Impossible, I have been observing the residences of the Sect Master and the Young Master, as well as the entire Tianyan Sect these past few days, and I have not found any trace of Ji Lier at all."

Bai Luoying's voice suddenly became extremely sinister: "Ji Li'er, this bitch is really good at hiding. Now I can't find her trace! If I catch her, she will be in trouble!"

"Ying'er!" Elder Bai's voice suddenly came, interrupting Bai Luoying's roar, "Let's do this for now, you have to listen to your mother and don't be willful."

"I understand, Grandpa!" Bai Luoying's voice suddenly rose in the communication note.

Then there was a flash of blue light, and the communication note was rudely cut off by her.

Elder Bai shook his head helplessly and put the communication note into his sleeve.

He walked slowly to the coffee table and slowly brewed a cup of tea.

The aroma of tea filled the study, and the candlelight illuminated his gloomy face.

Outside the window, Su Chenyin stood on a tree branch, staring closely at Elder Bai in the study.

The night wind blew, and she floated lightly from the tree, and the night wind blew a few leaves into the study.

"Elder Bai, you are so elegant." Su Chenyin's voice suddenly rang out in the night sky, as cold as broken jade thrown on ice.

"Who?" Elder Bai was startled and turned around abruptly. The teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a "pop" because of his action.

A dagger instantly slid out of his sleeve, and the tip of the sword, shining with cold light, pointed straight at the window, revealing a fierce murderous intent.

Su Chenyin's figure suddenly appeared in the center of the study like a ghost.

The moonlight poured in from behind her, as if covering her with a layer of silver veil.

"It's me." The corners of her lips slightly raised, but there was no smile in her eyes.

"Su Chenyin?" Elder Bai's pupils suddenly shrank, and his short sword trembled slightly. "What are you doing here?"

Su Chenyin did not answer his question, but walked forward slowly.

Each of her steps was as light as a cat's, but Elder Bai felt an invisible pressure gradually looming over him.

"As for me," she finally spoke, revealing an innocent smile, "I came here to verify something from the past."

Elder Bai leaned his back against the bookshelf and said calmly, "What past? This elder and you have never had any contact before, so how can there be any past?"

Su Chenyin stopped and was only three steps away from Elder Bai.

Under the moonlight, her shadow was like a huge shadow, covering Elder Bai's entire body.

"You'll find out later."

Su Chenyin's smile suddenly disappeared, replaced by a look of indifference.

She suddenly raised her right hand, and a golden thread shot out from her fingertips and headed straight for Elder Bai's brow.

Upon seeing this, Elder Bai's face changed drastically, and he thought to himself that something was wrong.

He tried to dodge the fatal blow by turning sideways.

However, he was horrified to find that his body seemed to be tightly bound by an invisible force and he could not move at all.

He felt this terrifying pressure emanating from Su Chenyin, making it hard for him to breathe.

He stared with wide eyes and horror at the golden thread getting closer and closer, and the fear in his heart continued to grow.

"You...your cultivation..." Elder Bai squeezed out a few words from between his teeth with difficulty, cold sweat oozing from his forehead, "actually..."

Before he could finish his words, the golden thread pierced into his forehead like a flash of lightning.

"what--"

Elder Bai let out a shrill scream, and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

His whole body began to tremble violently, the whites of his eyes rolled up, and an unconscious groan came out of his mouth.

Su Chenyin concentrated on reading the memories in Elder Bai's mind through the golden thread.

Images flashed through her mind rapidly, like a movie.

On that night seventeen years ago, Elder Bai met stealthily with a group of men in black.

They talked in low voices while Elder Bai handed a note to the man in black.

The content on the note was exactly the hiding place of Su Chenyin's father Su Jinghuai.

Three days later, when the news came that Su Jinghuai was found by the man in black, Elder Bai was hiding in his room, counting the various precious resources given to him by the man in black, with a smug smile on his face.

As his memory deepened, Su Chenyin discovered that Elder Bai had been secretly winning over other elders in Tianyan Sect over the years, plotting to overthrow Ji Qingxu's rule in Tianyan Sect.

However, what frightened her most was Elder Bai's recent memory.

In a recent secret meeting, Elder Bai secretly colluded with people from the Ximen family and conspired to poison Ji Qingxu and kill him at the Tianyan Sect's festival three months later.

Not only that, Elder Bai also secretly discussed with several elders how to divide the resources and power of Tianyan Sect after Ji Qingxu's death.

After the soul search was over, Su Chenyin slowly opened her eyes, and the golden thread automatically retracted into her hand as if it had life.

Her face was as cold as ice, and her eyes revealed endless anger and determination.

At this time, Elder Bai had already collapsed to the ground, his face as pale as paper, and blood continued to flow from the corners of his mouth. It was obvious that he had suffered severe damage from the soul search.
