Chapter 312: Newcomers in the world drive out the old
"Anyway, he's definitely involved in Old Master Nan's death! They haven't discovered it for two or three years. Second Young Master Bai knows, and the Bai family suddenly realizes it? How could such a coincidence be possible?"
This Second Young Master Bai is just like his grandfather, a hypocritical hypocrite! Alas! I shouldn't have let him go! I should have gotten rid of him at Xinchuanling! Then, Old Master Nan wouldn't have..." Li Minghe regretted it deeply.
Nanchun wiped away her tears and asked, "Fourth Master, does Bai Xun know that my grandfather was killed by the Bai family?"
Sheng Yu'an nodded and said, "He knows."
Nanchun smiled self-deprecatingly.
At the end... I'm still lying to him.
"Grandpa... where is he buried?"
Li Minghe said, "He's buried in Xinchuan Ridge. He once said that the Nan family's ancestors were originally responsible for guarding tombs and searching for mausoleums. If he fails to find the underground immortal palace in his lifetime... even after his death, he will guard it well."
"On what day did the incident happen?" Nan Chun choked.
"On the 19th day of the twelfth lunar month, it snowed heavily in Xinchuanling."
"The nineteenth day of the twelfth lunar month... the nineteenth day of the twelfth lunar month..." Nanchun was shocked and terrified, covering her face and crying bitterly.
He died on this day in his previous life.
His life after rebirth was so comfortable that he completely forgot about his death in his previous life.
What’s the point of God letting him live again?
He lived, but his grandfather died for him.
Could it be that I am going to exchange my grandfather's life for his?
Then he would rather be the one to die!
"Nanchun..."
With Sheng Yu'an's scream, Nanchun's eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.
Baijiazhai, the place of the great witch.
Yang Wude was lying on the bed, with only his eyes and mouth able to move.
"Doctor Yang survived the disaster, there must be a reason..." Bai Xun half-closed his eyes, with a smile on his lips. The smile was without a trace of warmth, but rather revealed a sinister feeling, like the biting cold wind in winter, piercing straight into people's hearts.
Yang Wude's heart tightened and he trembled unconsciously.
"What the outcome will be depends on whether you have committed sins. If so..." Bai Xun pressed a sharp dagger against Yang Wude's throat, "If you have committed too many evil deeds, you will not be able to escape the punishment of heaven."
Yang Wude was sweating profusely. The Second Young Master Bai in front of him seemed like a different person. He was not the gentle and polite person he had imagined.
His eyes were dark and deep, flashing with a cold light. Yang Wude didn't dare to look him in the eye. Those cold eyes seemed to be able to see into the darkest secrets of a person's heart.
"I... was... ordered by Patriarch Bai. Patriarch Bai ordered me to do everything."
Bai Xun asked coldly, "Brother, do you know?"
Yang Wude said with difficulty, "I don't know! Master Bai... only found out that I had treated his wife before. The head of the Bai family had informed me beforehand. I... just fooled Master Bai."
When Bai Xun came out of the secret room, the Great Wizard asked, "What are you going to do with the person inside?"
Bai Xun said calmly, "It's still useful to keep him alive for now. However, there's no need to take good care of a beast like him."
"I heard that you sent Nanchun away? Have you made up your mind?" asked the Great Witch.
"If there is a destined person, is there also a destined head of the family?" Bai Xun stood in the yard and looked up at the sky.
The Great Wizard smiled.
Bai Xun walked into the wind and snow without looking back.
After the fifteenth day, Bai Xun moved to a separate courtyard with great fanfare.
Mrs. Bai was furious: "I thought that wild boy Nanchun was gone, and Xun'er's heart was with Bailing. It's only been a few days, and he doesn't even want to stay in the old house."
Bai Yishui frowned and asked Bai Shan to call Bai Xun over.
Han Bailing also followed Bai Xun here.
"I heard that you moved to a separate courtyard?" Bai Yishui asked.
"Yes." Bai Xun replied.
"What are you doing?" Bai Yishui said in a deep voice.
"Doesn't grandpa live with grandma either?" Bai Xun asked back.
Seeing that they were at a loss for words, Bai Xun continued, "I didn't understand before, but I do now. Ever since I took on the heavy responsibility of being the head of the family, I've been worried day and night, afraid that I might not do it properly or think things through thoroughly. So I thought about going to a quiet place to think things over carefully."
"Yes, seeing him restless day and sleepless night, I couldn't eat or sleep well either. It was my idea to let him move to the villa. It's surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery and quietness, which is very suitable for him to handle affairs." Han Bailing said.
"Then you should move in with him." Mrs. Bai said hurriedly.
Han Bailing sat down beside the bed, holding Madam Bai's hand, and said, "Grandma, I won't leave. I'm worried about your health. I feel uneasy if I don't come to pay my respects to you for a day. Do you dislike me? Do you not want me to serve you anymore?"
"No, no. I'm content with your filial piety. How can you separate at such young ages?" Mrs. Bai frowned.
"Grandma, you can't work so hard. Someone needs to take care of the old house. I've made an agreement with the Second Young Master that we'll be traveling back and forth between the two places and visiting the villa more often."
At this point, Han Bailing leaned over to Old Lady Bai's ear and whispered, "Grandma, a short absence is better than a new marriage. If you keep seeing someone around, you'll soon get tired of them. I don't want to follow in their footsteps."
When Mrs. Bai heard this, she thought to herself, "That's right. Xun'er used to love that wild boy so much! But after only three years, he got tired of him."
Seeing that Han Bailing had dispelled his grandmother's doubts, Bai Xun said, "Grandfather, I have found some reliable helpers in Jincheng. It would not be appropriate to place dozens of them in the old house. The other courtyard is large and located in a remote area, so it would be more convenient for them to act there."
Bai Yishui understood that Bai Xun had already trained his own people.
This is a good thing.
Although the people in the old house could be used, they were working for him after all. Even if he told them to obey Bai Xun, I'm afraid they would still act according to his mood for a while.
It is absolutely unacceptable for the head of the family to be without his own people.
Return to the main courtyard.
Butler Bai served tea to Bai Yishui: "Master, there are constant rumors outside because of the second young master moving to the other courtyard."
"Oh? What did they say?"
"It is said that the second young master wants to set up his own faction and take away the empire you have built." Bai Shan said with a smile.
"If Xun'er can really do this, then I will die with peace of mind. Although this child has been well-read and intelligent since childhood, being the head of a family requires more than just intelligence.
"You must be refined on the outside, yet harbor a banditry within. Act with swift action, decisively punish with ruthlessness, and employ both kindness and severity, so that those under you not only respect you, but also fear you." Bai Yishui said.
"The Patriarch is right."
Bai Yishui picked up his pen and wrote the word "new" and said, "The head of the Bai family is Bai Xun. From now on, you can call me the old head. Give orders that this title must be changed. As the saying goes, the waves behind push the waves in front, and the new people in the world drive out the old people! It's time for me to take a break."
