Chapter 99 A trip to Hualien
Although she used this realm to beat the monsters very awkwardly during the beast tide, she found that she could not fully give full play to all the advantages of this realm.
At that time, she knew that it must have been the excessive improvement of the realm that she could not fully exert the strength of this realm. Therefore, the current situation she is in is a stable state, not cultivation.
After the small banquet, Su Yan told Bai Shuyuan that Ye Shengnan had something to do and left Canglan. It was said that there were some changes in the Nanyan Holy Palace, and he needed to go back to deal with it in person and let Su Yan talk to Bai Shuyuan on his behalf.
A few days later, after Bai Shu was willing to deal with the two branch affairs of Flame in Ping'an Town and Baiyun City, he planned to return to the imperial capital in the east with Chu Yanyun, Kangyang, Na Yuanhui and Muyi who came at the first time. The others would directly conduct the selection test in Canglan, and those who passed the re-examination would return to the imperial capital to meet with them.
Fengyang and Su Yan have full authority to manage the branches of Flame in Ping'an Town and Baiyun City.
On this day, the main members of the flame, Feng Yang, Su Yan and several people came to see Bai Shuyuan off. Xia Houyuan quietly watched Bai Shuyuan, Chu Yanyun and others disappear from his eyes on a flying mount.
The stars in his eyes are disillusioned, with emotions that others can't understand.
......
A few days later, Bai Shuyuan and Chu Yanyun came to Hualien County, a sub-city not far from Donglindidu. The reason why they landed here was that they received an urgent report from their family.
Hundreds of people have disappeared in Hualien County in recent days and have spread to nearby towns. Both of their families have points in Hualien County or nearby towns, among which the Bai family is the most.
After breaking up with Chu Yanyun in Hualian County, Bai Shuyuan came to the county guard of Hualian County to see Bai Yunhuan, the county guard of Hualian County.
"You are a wish!?"
The county guard of Hualien County is Bai Yunhuan, the little uncle of Bai Shuyuan. Bai Yunhuan has been stationed in Hualien County since Bai Shuyuan's birth. It has been 15 years since now. This is the third time that Bai Yunhuan has seen this niece.
The first time was the birth of Bai Shuyuan, the second time was the death of Mu Qingluan, and the last time was the 14th birthday of Bai Shuyuan. Since Mu Qingluan passed away, Bai Yunyi has left. Every year, Bai Yunhuan will give her a gift on the birthday of Bai Shuyuan.
"Little uncle!"
There are six brothers in the generation of Bai Jiayun. Bai Shuyuan's father is the second, and Bai Yunhuan is the youngest son of Bai Qingtang. This is the first time that Bai Shuyuan has seen this little uncle since he was reborn.
However, in Bai Shuyuan's impression, this little uncle has a deep affection for her, because among the generations of Bai Jiayun, Bai Shuyuan's father, Bai Yunyi, loves Bai Yunhuan the most.
Therefore, for many years, even if Bai Yunhuan does not return to the Bai family, he will often give Bai Shuyuan a little something. Just because Bai Shuyuan is the orphan of Bai Yunyi and Mu Qingluan.
"My little wish grows longer and more watery. The little uncle in the room has arranged it for you. You can have a rest first, and the little uncle will pick you up the wind and wash the dust later.
Bai Yunhuan had to ask his family for help because of the frequent disappearances in Hualien County recently. This is the first time he has asked his family for help since he took over as the governor of Hualien County.
Fifteen years ago, because of the death of his biological mother, Bai Yunhuan invited Hualien to be the county guard. This is also the only requirement before her biological mother's death. She hopes that her son can come to Hualien County, where she grew up, to accompany her forever.
Bai Yunhuan didn't know why his mother did this, and asked him not to leave Hualien County easily. This is also the reason why Bai Yunhuan rarely returns to the Bai family after taking over Hualien County.
"Thank you, little uncle!"
Bai Shu would like to know that before he was reborn, in addition to Bai Shuyu, only this little uncle who has been at home since taking over Hualien County will think of her on his birthday.
If this is not the case, I'm afraid that the Bai family will really completely forget the existence of Bai Shu's wishes. In her impression, it was also on her fourteenth birthday, Bai Shuqing's mother, that is, her aunt, specially made a new dress for Bai Yunhuan on that day in order to make a good impression.
As soon as Bai Yunhuan left, those new clothes were taken away by her aunt and rewarded the first-class maid beside her.
Bai Shuyuan sighed gently. She was too cowardly before she was reborn. Otherwise, how could she be bullied to such an extent? If Bai Yunhuan had more wince, maybe she would not have been reborn into this body.
"You are my own niece, so you are not allowed to be so polite to your little uncle. Then you can take a rest first, and the little uncle will pick you up later.
Bai Yunhuan looked at Bai Shuyuan in front of him and sighed slightly in his heart. Since he saw Bai Shuyuan for the last time, he found that his niece had changed a lot.
For nearly a year, he has been hearing about this niece. In fact, in previous years, he has been paying attention to the life of this niece. However, what I have heard in the past year is very different from the past.
He still remembers that in the past, other people's comments on Bai Shuyuan were - nymphomaniac idiots and ugly women and waste, but now what he hears most is a genius martial artist, a world-class Lingyun.
He has always known that his niece has been unpopular in the Bai family, and has even been bullied. But he wanted to pick up Bai Shuyuan to come to Hualien County many times, but he was rejected.
Now I see that Bai Shuyuan is magnificent and has an unparalleled temperament. At the same time, I am also very gratified. After all, the second brother Bai Yunyi and the second sister-in-law Mu Qingluan, including Bai Shuyuan's biological brother Bai Shuyu, are all dragons and phoenixes.
As their daughter, how can Bai Shuyu's sister be a waste?
"I know, little uncle, then wait for me!"
Bai Shuyuan nodded and followed the two little maids that Bai Yunhuan gave her to the wing room. This time, she promised her grandfather Bai Qingtang to come to Hualien County to thoroughly investigate the human disappearance case here for another purpose.
Bai Yunhuan is very familiar with her biological parents and has a deep relationship with her brother Bai Shuyu. Bai Shu would like to take this opportunity to learn more about their situation.
She has always suspected that since her rebirth, so many powerful enemies have been related to her biological parents. If you want to know the purpose of these enemies, you naturally need to know why you can't get along with yourself.
Only when you know yourself and your enemy can you win every battle!
Of course, the disappearance of the population in Hualien County this time reminded her of something. She came here to confirm her conjecture.
If the guess comes true, then she must respond immediately, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
"There has been a missing person in Hualien County recently. Is there any clue?"
Bai Shu was willing to stretch out her arms, and the two maids really changed her clothes. Four days ago, she received a letter from the elder of the family and her grandfather Bai Qingtang. The elder meant to stay in Hualien County to help her little uncle Bai Yun get through the difficulties, but her grandfather hinted that she would not return to the imperial capital for the time being.
If possible, directly adopt her to the little uncle as a daughter.
Bai Shuyuan didn't know why Bai Qingtang suddenly did this, but she knew that Bai Qingtang loved her. Before returning to the imperial capital in the east, she also received a reply from Bai Shuyu.
Although she did not understand the current situation of the family in the letter, she can still guess from the lines that the imperial capital will have changed greatly in recent days. And this big change must be related to the Bai family.
However, she followed the meaning of Bai Qingtang and stayed in Hualien County for the time being. Since she came to Hualien County, of course, she would like to know what happened to this Hualien and why so many people disappeared in just a few days.
As soon as the two maids heard Bai Shuyuan's question, they knelt down directly in front of Bai Shuyuan, looking panicked, and their eyes flashed with fear.
"Don't be afraid. I just want to share it for my little uncle. If you don't want to say it, just forget it."
Bai Shuyuan's original intention was to investigate these low-level figures first. He didn't want to just ask a question to scare the two maids like this. However, because of this, Bai Shuyuan can personally feel the panic of Hualien County because of the disappearance of the population.
As a county guard, the maids are all like this, not to mention ordinary people?
With a slight sigh, Bai Shuyuan suddenly understood why his little uncle Bai Yunhuan asked for help from his family. From the small to the big, it can be seen how scared the people of Hualien County have suffered.
The two maids looked at each other in con'sinuation, and finally slowly told the cause and effect of the whole incident to Bai Shuyuan.
About ten days ago, the baby son of the richest man in Hualien disappeared. His father came to report the case. Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the second day, the number of missing people slowly reached ten, and more than a dozen people increased.
So far, it has reached hundreds of people, and the surrounding cities have been filled. Three days ago, the filling officials of the affiliated city of Hualien County came to report that someone was also missing in their town.
"What is the proportion of men and women who are missing? What is the age and cultivation? Don't you have any eyebrows so far?"
Bai Shuyuan frowned slightly. It is impossible for so many people missing to have no clues, and it is impossible not to have any clues. It has been ten days since the first person disappeared. Haven't you found out the reason?
The two maids looked at each other and stated the questions of Bai Shuyuan one by one. The missing people are all male, about 15 to 30 years old, from spiritualists to sky spiritual masters, but there was already a spiritual sect missing yesterday.
If it is necessary to say something, it is that the first person who disappeared has been confirmed dead and died extremely terrifyingly. However, so far, no one can confirm the cause of their death. So far, both Hualien County and the surrounding towns have been panicked.
After a little understanding, Bai Shuyuan decided to see Bai Yunhuan immediately. It's better to see how those dead people die. After hurriedly grooming, Bai Shuyuan ordered two maids to take her to see her little uncle Bai Yunhuan.
In the restaurant prepared for her by Bai Yunhuan, after meeting with Bai Yunhuan, Bai Shuyuan did not bring up the case immediately. She talked with her little uncle who had always loved her very much in the rumor.
Bai Yunhuan is in his prime, about his thirties. He feels very friendly, and his face is smiling all the time. Only when it comes to Bai Shuyuan's parents, a trace of melancholy flashes in his eyes.
And the melancholy is well hidden. If Bai Shuyuan hadn't been observing him all the time, he would not have found it.
"I want to know how my mother died?"
At the beginning, Bai Shuyuan had been listening and occasionally said a few words. Now that she has talked about her parents, it is necessary for her to clarify some questions in her mind.
Everyone said that Mu Qingluan died of dystocia when she gave birth to her. However, I don't know why the Bai family has been hiding something.
Since she was reborn, almost everyone avoids answering every time she asks about her parents. This person includes her grandfather Bai Qingtang, and Bai Shuyu, who has always taken good care of her, not to mention the old immortals of the Presbyterian Church.
The reason why Bai Shuyuan asked this is that Bai Yunhuan hugged her when she was born.
"When you were born, I had only been in Hualien County for a month. To be precise, you are premature, when I knew you were born. I went home specially. I never thought that I didn't even see your mother's face. At that time, your father was still on his way back to the imperial capital..."
The sadness in Bai Yunhuan's eyes increased, because he didn't even see the last face of Mu Qingluan. He only knew that when Bai Shuyuan was born, only Bai Qingtang had seen Mu Qingluan's last face.
No one knows what Mu Qingluan said on his deathbed.
He thought that the old man would wait for his second brother Bai Yunyi to come back and bury Mu Qingluan. However, to the surprise of everyone in the Bai family, after confirming that Mu Qingluan was dead, the old man ignored everyone's opposition and directly buried Mu Qingluan without waiting for Bai Yunyi to come back.
At that time, Bai Shuyuan was born only seven days ago. And he rushed to Bai's house on the tenth day, and he didn't even have time to attend Mu Qingluan's funeral, let alone the last one.
"Such a wish, the most regrettable thing in my uncle's life is that I couldn't see your mother for the last time."
There was a flash of light in Bai Yunhuan's eyes. He picked up the glass, covered his face and drank it. No one saw the two lines of tears dripping into the cup. He drank it with his tears, just like that rainy night fifteen years ago.
That year, he knelt in front of Mu Qingluan's tomb for three days and three nights. It was not until his second brother Bai Yunyi returned that he returned to Hualien County.
Although he sends Bai Shuyuan a birthday gift every year, that's why he only gave her the gift on Bai Shuyuan's fourteenth birthday.
Bai Shuyuan's birthday is the anniversary of her mother's death!
If you really want to calculate, Bai Yunhuan is actually a little resentful of this niece. Because if it hadn't been for the birth of Bai Shuyuan, Mu Qingluan would not have died at all.
"I'm sorry, little uncle!"
Bai Shuyuan's eyes were slightly red, and his heart twitched slightly. She thought she was just occupying this body, but when she heard that Mu Qingluan really died of dystocia, her heart was still twitching.
But she is still puzzled about the reason why Bai Qingtang is eager to bury Mu Qingluan. But these puzzled, she could no longer ask from Bai Yunhuan's mouth.
Because she can't ask. She and Bai Yunhuan didn't see each other for the first time, but she could see that Bai Yunhuan was deeply distressed and tormented by her mother's death.
She couldn't bear to let her little uncle suffer such pain again.
"It has nothing to do with you. It's just that the little uncle can't let go."
When the second brother Bai Yunyi left the Bai family, he once came to him and asked him to take good care of Bai Shuyu and Bai Shuyuan's brother and sister on his behalf. But because of his own heart, he has never fulfilled his promise.
If you insist, he actually owes a lot to this niece. Because he couldn't take good care of their brother and sister. Fifteen years have passed. After Bai Shuyu was taken away by that man seven years ago, he has never heard from Bai Shuyu.
He has wasted the trust of his second brother Bai Yunyi, and now how can he afford to apologize for Bai Shuyuan?
"I wish to grow so big that I have never seen my mother or my mother's family. Since my father and brother left, for so many years, I have never had them again. I want to know if my mother still has relatives, where is my father and my brother?
Bai Shuyuan doesn't want to change the topic about her parents. She must find out what happened to her parents in those years. She has always felt that some things are always related to their departure.
However, she has never been able to find all the information about them, especially Mu Qingluan. She is like a riddle, a mystery that people can never figure out.
Few people know where she comes from and what relatives she has.
Bai Yunhuan was silent. In fact, he did not know everything about Mu Qingluan. All he knew was that Mu Qingluan was a strange woman. She was very talented and extremely intelligent.
At that time, when she married her second brother Bai Yunyi, he did not see her parents and relatives coming to watch the ceremony. From Bai Yunyi's mouth, he knew that Mu Qingluan's family should not agree with them being together.
As for the current whereabouts of Bai Yunyi and Bai Shuyu, he doesn't know. He hasn't heard from them for many years.
Bai Yunhuan told Bai Shuyuan everything he knew without concealment. He thought that Bai Shuyuan had grown up and she had the right to know this.
"Has my father never talked about my mother's family in front of you?"
When Bai Shuyuan was in Bai's family, he also heard something about his mother. The Bai family really doesn't know the identity of Mu Qingluan. She also asked Jun Wuxi, but Jun Wuxi avoided talking about it, which made Bai Shuyuan very passive.
In fact, she has always suspected that the reason why the Temple of Light killed her should be related to Mu Qingluan. Because although the Bai family can be called a big family in Donglin, it is far from letting the Temple of Light kill her.
The only explanation is that her mother's identity is different, or her mother has what the Temple of Light wants. And only by finding out the origin of Mu Qingluan can she find a way to deal with the Temple of Light.
"All I know is that your mother's family should be no less than our Bai family, and may be more prominent than our Bai family. Otherwise, it is impossible that they will not agree to the marriage of the two families.
Mu Qingluan's martial arts qualifications are even praised by Jun Wuxi, but her temperament is not even as good as Princess Zichen, who was known as the first noble daughter of the Seven Kingdoms at that time.
From this, it can be seen that Mu Qingluan comes from an extraordinary background, even less than a princess of a country.
Of course, this is just Bai Yunhuan's personal guess. He didn't know that this guess was not only him, but also many people had such a guess. These include the eldest princess Zichen, who is now a noble concubine in the east.
"Does the little uncle know if my mother has any particularly good friends or friends?"
Hearing Bai Yunhuan's words, Bai Shuyuan knew that it was impossible to learn something about Mu Qingluan from him. In this way, she can only learn about it from other places.
In fact, she knew that if she could find Bai Yunyi or Bai Shuyu, everything would be solved. But now he doesn't even know where they are.
"When your mother was alive, she mentioned a person."
When Bai Yunhuan heard Bai Shuyuan's question, he suddenly remembered a person. Although that person was inadvertently mentioned by Mu Qingluan, he could feel the warmth flashing in Mu Qingluan's eyes when he mentioned the man.
That kind of warmth can't be seen in others.
