Demon Sword Immortal

Oh……

She also knew Bai Nianchan.

Grandpa couldn't have told her these things. Either Bai Guanshan and Zhu Ying told her, or she overheard them discussing Bai Nianchan.

Bai Xiang leans towards the latter possibility.

Because they knew about Bai Nianchan's deeds, they did not suspect that she came from another world, but simply believed that it was Bai Nianchan's soul possessing her.

This is probably what Bai Zhuqing is thinking right now.

However, this wasn't much better.

After thinking it over, Bai realized that if he were Bai Zhuqing, he would probably also firmly shift the blame onto Bai Nianchan.

First of all—not long after Bai Nianchan's accident and death, the original owner of this abandoned baby was adopted by Bai Shengju.

Dayu has both Taoism and Buddhism. If one believes in reincarnation, this timeframe would be perfectly aligned.

Secondly, before the original owner was transmigrated here, her talent in swordsmanship was quite mediocre. To put it bluntly, she was not as good as the Bai Zhuqing and Bai Leying sisters, both of whom Bai Shengju had predicted would be able to glimpse the true path of swordsmanship around the age of 18.

The moment he transmigrated and took over the body, he caused such a commotion. His swordsmanship talent could be said to have suddenly changed from "mediocre" to "extraordinary", making him "a genius worthy of being listed on the desks of watchmen, supervisors, and even governors".

This mutation is concealed by the entrance pathway, and under normal circumstances there is no problem.

After all, many people are like this; once they enter the path of Taoism, their temperament changes drastically, as if they have become a different person. There are such examples throughout history.

But in Bai Zhuqing's eyes!

In the eyes of this younger sister who can see through her changes in posture!

Based on her understanding, she could only conclude that this change was due to Bai Nianchan... that her deceased aunt had manifested within "Xiang'er Jie's" body, and that "Xiang'er Jie" had awakened her past life's wisdom!

Bai Nianchan is also a swordsmanship genius.

Bai Nianchan was also exceptionally talented.

Based on Bai Shengju's brief explanation, it can be analyzed that Bai Nianchan is also a ruthless person who doesn't talk much and whose actions outweigh his thoughts.

Like.

So similar.

With so many coincidences occurring, Bai Xiang truly had no idea how to defend himself.

She remained silent and didn't even turn her head, which Bai Zhuqing saw as a sign of her guilt.

"Aunt Nianchan..."

Her gaze was intense as she stared intently at Bai Xiang's slender back.

“These days, Zhu Qing has been engrossed in studying Buddhist scriptures.”

The scriptures say, "Between heaven and earth, the five paths are clearly defined. Good and evil are rewarded accordingly, and fortune and misfortune follow one another."

"Zhu Qing won't tell anyone, and besides, she knows very well that even if she did, no one would believe her."

"Zhu Qing just wants to get to the bottom of things."

"In the end, it was Aunt Nianchan who took away Zhuqing's Xiang'er sister."

"Is it still Sister Xiang'er, or Aunt Nianchan...?"

After speaking, she maintained that gaze, quietly waiting for Bai Xiang's response.

But how should we respond to this?

No matter how you explain it, it will only make things more complicated. Bai Xiang, of course, cut the Gordian knot and turned to say, "You're overcomplicating things."

"Now that I have entered the Dao, I am no longer the person you remember. I am certainly no longer 'Aunt Nianchan'."

"...It's enough to bring this up once; don't bother me again."

Bai Xiang responded to her sister with near-heartlessness and then strode away first.

Bai Zhuqing frowned slightly as she listened to her speak, but quickly clenched her fists, pursed her lips, and stared intently at her departing figure.

"Of course you can't just admit it directly..."

"I will not give up either."

"Whether you miss Sister Xiang'er or Aunt Nianchan."

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Success (Please add to your favorites and read on!)

Bai Zhuqing did not obediently listen. Instead, because her suspicions had been made clear, she became increasingly direct and bold in observing Bai Xiang.

Bai wanted to start cleaning early, so she also got up early to help with the cleaning.

Bai wanted to go to the kitchen to help her two aunts, so she went to help out as well.

Bai Xiang wanted to go to Bai Shengju for advice in the afternoon, but Bai Zhuqing couldn't get in, so she took a Buddhist scripture and sat in the outer hall, studying it while waiting for Bai Xiang to come out.

As soon as Bai Xiangzhen came out, Bai Zhuqing immediately took the Buddhist scriptures and followed her. Whether she went to the woods to meditate or returned to her courtyard to practice swordsmanship, Bai Zhuqing stayed by her side almost every step of the way.

Zhu Ying was naturally very happy that her daughter and Bai Xiang had become closer.

Bai Guanshan had already married her when he abandoned swordsmanship due to that accident. She wasn't from a wealthy or noble family; she was just of good standing and a good match for Bai Guanshan. Therefore, she wasn't too strict about his family background.

Bai Guanshan disliked Bai Xiang, and she noticed it. But she actually sympathized with Bai Xiang for being abandoned. Her simple and honest approach to managing the household made her believe that future generations should live in harmony. Therefore, whenever she saw the two sisters inseparable, Zhu Ying would huddle together with Shen Xuelan to whisper to each other, occasionally bursting into hearty laughter.

Before Bai Xiang could even voice his opinion, Bai Leying and Bai Maoxu were already unhappy with this arrangement.

Bai Maoxu just started junior high school this year, studying at the junior high section of the No. 1 Middle School branch. Boys this age only play when they go home for holidays, and they can't stick to meditation or sword practice for even a moment. Even though Bai Lianzhou cut off the internet in his room, he would rather go out and wander around, using the excuse of enlightenment, but actually going to the city to play with Bai Leying and Bai Zhuqing.

They either buy tickets to watch movies or wander into parks chasing dogs and birds.

As a result, Bai Zhuqing has now tied Bai Xiang up, and Bai Leying has lost her sister. She can't confide in Bai Maoxu, so she suddenly feels that going out for a stroll is pointless and stops asking Bai Maoxu to go out with her.

Bai Maoxu was thus confined to the dojo for nearly two weeks, forced to undergo special kendo training with Xu Shu from Bai Lianzhou, and was trained like a dead dog every day.

He was a little afraid of Bai Xiang and dared not speak out against it. Bai Leying, on the other hand, was much more straightforward. One day, she finally couldn't hold back and ran to Bai Xiang's yard, grabbed her hand, and kept telling Bai Xiang to "give her back her sister" or "take her out for a walk to cheer her up."

Bai Xiang was practicing the Divine Cry Sword Technique when he heard this and glanced at the edge of the courtyard.

Bai Zhuqing was dressed in a dress that combined antique and modern styles, flowing without being cumbersome. She was sitting there with her legs crossed, reading a Buddhist scripture in the sunlight.

Anyone who comes to see this scene will praise its elegance and beauty.

But Bai Xiang saw through his younger sister's nature and knew that all of this was just a facade.

The real Bai Zhuqing is probably more stubborn than anyone else in the Bai family.

I've explained everything to her, but she just won't listen...

Something white was dazzling in front of him. Bai Xiang unconsciously glanced down and saw Bai Zhuqing's two small white silk-stockinged feet in red rope sandals, her toes sticking out from under the silk stockings.

It's still a style where the thumb is separated from the other four toes.

Oh, it seems like the three she gave me were the same style?

I didn't understand why it was split in the middle at first, but it turns out it was to make it easier to wear these flip-flops.

"Sis! Are you even listening to me?!"

Bai Leying got anxious and jumped in front of her to block her view.

"That's not up to me." Bai Xiang leisurely sheathed the wooden sword. "If you want to go out and play, you'll have to ask Grandpa first."

"You're trying to fool me with Grandpa again!" Bai Leying stomped her foot.

"Just ask!"

"Let's see what excuse you'll come up with later!"

Bai Leying came in a whirlwind and left in a whirlwind, making Bai Zhuqing cover her mouth and chuckle.

"Why isn't my aunt wearing the gift I gave her?"

Seeing Bai Xiang looking at her, she met her gaze without flinching and questioned her about why she wasn't wearing those three socks.

Bai Xiang remained silent and continued practicing his swordsmanship.

Today she changed into a gray sweatshirt on top, but still wore slightly conservative black trousers on the bottom.

Bai Zhuqing was not discouraged at all and continued to smile, "How about I make a bet with my aunt? If Le Ying can get permission from Grandpa, my aunt will change into it when she goes out with him, how about that?"

This little girl calls me "Sister Xiang'er" when others are around, but calls me "Auntie" when we're alone.

Bai Xiang frowned, stopped, and asked her, "If I really am Bai Nianchan, wouldn't this be going against the proper etiquette?"

"Yes, so what?"

He thought he could intimidate her by invoking etiquette, but to his surprise, Bai Zhuqing didn't shy away from the topic at all and quickly gave her own response.

"If you like it, you like it."

"Maybe I don't like my aunt that much right now, but if even liking someone has to be mixed with rules, what's the point of liking someone?"

"Moreover."

Bai Zhuqing proudly stroked her hanging hair.

"The current aunt is not related to Zhu Qing by blood."

“Even if my aunt complains to my grandfather, or even to Governor Fang, it doesn’t count as disobeying the rules.”

Good guy.

Bai Xiang's eyes widened slightly, and she asked, "If I really am your aunt, don't you resent me for taking your sister Xiang'er away?"

"After thinking it over, Zhu Qing felt that the only possibility was that Aunt and Sister Xiang'er were the same person."

Bai Zhuqing started analyzing, counting on her fingers.

"Zhuqing has observed that although her aunt's words, actions, and behavior are slightly different from Xiang'er's, the changes are limited."

"In addition, Aunt clearly remembers some things from the past, which means that Aunt did not possess someone out of thin air. It is only possible that Sister Xiang'er, whom Zhu Qing admires, is Aunt's reincarnation. And the changes that Aunt underwent after entering the Dao were due to the sudden awakening of her innate wisdom."

Even so, people are different.

Bai Xiang said to her, half seriously.

“I took your sister away, you should blame me.”

"Is that so?"

Bai Zhuqing was slightly taken aback, then covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

“Aunt took away Zhuqing’s sister, so Zhuqing should resent Aunt.”

I think it's better to...

"Auntie should give herself to Zhuqing instead."

This was clearly a joke, and Bai Zhuqing didn't believe her story at all.

Shaking his head, Bai realized he couldn't stay in this courtyard any longer. He immediately sheathed his sword and planned to go to the edge of the woods to enjoy the view and clear his mind.

Seeing this, Bai Zhuqing, who was sitting to the side, also stood up.

Bai wanted to ignore her.

I've made up my mind to ignore whatever she says from now on.

However, just as she was about to go out, a figure bumped straight into her.

Bai Xiang reacted quickly, grabbing the person's wrist with one hand and pulling her halfway around to relieve the force. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was another younger sister.

"Grandpa agreed!"

Bai Leying had run all the way here, and her forehead and face were all red.

"Grandpa said he needed to write a letter to Master Cizheng at Yinling Temple, and he asked us to run the errand for him!"

Hidden Spirit Temple?

Bai Xiang squinted.

This temple was no ordinary place for her.

"Oh, right!" Bai Leying added, "He also wants you to go there right away!"

"There's another box over there; it might have something good to give you!"

Two minutes later.
