Chapter 319: Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons
Everyone in the Bai Family was mobilized.
At the same time, Bai Ming used all his connections and began searching the entire city for his daughter.
The patrol squads, the yamen officials, and the city garrison troops all began to search.
The consequence of this was that, all of a sudden, the entire Lin'an City was spreading and discussing the Bai Family's scandal.
The Bai Family's matrilocal son-in-law had gotten involved with his sister-in-law.
The eldest daughter of the Bai Family could not take it, suddenly ran away from home, and became a nun.
This matter reached the palace immediately.
Upon hearing it, the Queen was somewhat puzzled; after pondering for a moment, she ordered people to help with the search.
At noon.
Liu Chujian and Lin Daiyu, accompanied by their maids, arrived at Bao'an Hall.
At this time, inside Bao'an Hall, Su Dafang was gesticulating wildly and speaking with great grief and indignation about the news he had heard outside this morning.
"I heard that the brat not only seduced his sister-in-law but also ruined all the maids in the entire Bai Mansion... Every night he has one in each arm, too busy to handle it all..."
"Oh right, I heard that the young ladies and maids from the Jia Mansion in Daguanyuan are all part of that brat's harem..."
"And that Chujian Bookstore..."
Su Qingling was sitting inside the counter pounding medicine, quiet and still, as cold, detached, and unruffled as ever.
When Liu Chujian and Lin Daiyu entered the shop with flushed faces, Su Dafang immediately gave a "cough, cough," stopped talking, and found an excuse to go to the backyard.
At the same time.
Luo Zijun, who was being discussed by everyone, was shuttling between various bookstores in the city.
He was looking for news about the "Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons."
However, after visiting all the bookstores in the city, he still did not obtain any useful information, and he did not even know where the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons was.
He even went to a martial artist's shop to ask.
"Master seems to know something about demons; I might as well go ask him..."
After finding nothing, he had no choice but to walk toward Bao'an Hall.
It was already evening.
The setting sun fell to the horizon, green mountains rolled, and the evening glow was like brocade.
Luo Zijun's gaze looked toward the distant horizon filled with clouds, and all sorts of emotions in his heart could not help but surge up again.
Bai Meixue, the eldest daughter of the Bai Family, the fairy, his ex-wife...
There were indeed surprises, and there were also shocks.
But why was she only willing to say it after she left?
And, why did she have to leave?
Going home? Was it really just a simple return home? She had been here for so many years, why did she suddenly have to go home?
Was this place not her home?
Here were her father, mother, sister, brother, and her loving...
Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons?
She was clearly a human, how could she be a demon?
How could that place be her home?
Even if she were a White Snake, that was a matter of a past life; what did it have to do with this life?
In this life, she was clearly a human, a genuine human.
Luo Zijun did not understand.
Therefore, he had to figure it out, and to figure it out, he naturally had to find her.
He had to find her, even if it were to the ends of the earth.
Inside Bao'an Hall, it was quiet; only the beautiful senior sister, wearing a plain white dress with green medicinal juice stained on her sleeves, was sitting inside the counter, resting her chin on her hands, her gaze vacant, lost in thought.
Luo Zijun entered the shop, walked to the counter, knocked on it, and asked, "Is Master here?"
Su Qingling raised her gaze and looked at him, her eyes somewhat strange.
Luo Zijun said, "What's wrong? Don't you recognize me?"
Su Qingling stared at him for a while longer and asked, "Did the Bai Family not beat you to death?"
Luo Zijun was stunned; he immediately realized the news had already reached here and said somewhat awkwardly, "Senior Sister, do you not believe me either? Between Qingtong and me..."
"Brat, stop the nonsense; it makes me sick to look at you."
Su Dafang came down from upstairs with a look of disdain.
Luo Zijun shrugged, knowing that this matter was impossible to explain, but he still had to clarify: "Because I needed to break through my cultivation level, I asked Qingtong to help me guard the room, and then I was discovered by the eldest daughter of the Bai Family..."
Su Qingling continued to be lost in thought and ignored him.
Su Dafang gave a "snort" of laughter, went over to pick up his small teapot, sat in his rocking chair, and closed his eyes to rest his mind.
Luo Zijun did not explain further; he went over and asked, "Master, do you know about the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons?"
Su Dafang rocked for a while before opening his eyes and saying, "What Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons? Where did you hear that?"
Luo Zijun was immediately somewhat disappointed; he did not hide it and told them directly: "Before the eldest daughter of the Bai Family left, she left me a letter saying that she is... a demon, and she is going home; the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons is her home."
Su Dafang sat up straight, eyes wide: "A demon? Your wife is a demon? Is that true?"
Luo Zijun said, "It is naturally true."
Su Dafang looked at him with a strange expression: "You believe it?"
Luo Zijun was silent for a moment and said, "I believe it. Because I have witnessed her strength; she can perform Soul Out-of-Body, her cultivation is very high, and on the day the Bai Mansion caught fire, I clearly felt a powerful demonic aura. I think that demonic aura must have been her; she should have been preparing to use magic to save people at that time, but it was already too late."
The room fell into silence.
After a moment, Su Dafang set down the teapot in his hand with a grave expression and asked again, "You didn't discover any clues before this?"
Luo Zijun shook his head and said, "None at all, and I couldn't have imagined it either."
After all, he had always believed that in her past life Bai Daxiaojie was a White Snake, and in this life she was a human; how could he have imagined that in this life, she was also a demon?
