162: This situation seems somewhat familiar.
"Sister Xue, I saw your expression wasn't right just now. Did you discover something?"
Seeing Bai Qiqi and the other two leave, Nangong Yu looked at Nangong Ruoxue and asked.
Nangong Ruoxue smiled slightly and said, "Indeed, but I'm not certain yet. I only guessed that it might have something to do with you!"
"To do with me?"
Nangong Yu was slightly puzzled; he hadn't intended to help Bai Wanling, so how could it have to do with him?
He had known before that if he were willing, he could help Bai Wanling deceive the heavens and safely pass her Inner Demon Tribulation.
But that method was very cumbersome and time-consuming, and he and Bai Wanling were mere acquaintances, so he hadn't said anything.
But hearing Nangong Ruoxue's implication, Bai Wanling's Inner Demon Tribulation light was illusory, and it was actually related to him?
He saw Nangong Ruoxue smile slightly and say, "Si Chen, you are very special. The fates of those who become involved with you will change, to a greater or lesser extent."
"Sometimes, even if you don't try to change things, the people around you will be influenced by you and change quietly, just like me and the Qingyou Empire!"
Hearing this, Nangong Yu nodded thoughtfully. "In other words, it is highly likely that because of me, Bai Wanling's Inner Demon Tribulation has changed?"
"It is very likely!"
Nangong Ruoxue nodded slightly, thinking of the small details she had noticed last night and today, she already had a vague guess in her heart.
"Forget it, I won't think about it!"
Nangong Yu shook his head and said, "Sister Xue, we will stay here for the next two days. Since there is nowhere else to go to play, we might as well settle down and Cultivate for two days."
"Good, I will listen to you!"
Nangong Ruoxue smiled and nodded.
The two looked at each other and smiled, then went directly into two of the Cultivation rooms attached to this side courtyard.
...
Meanwhile, in the main courtyard, Bai Qiqi and the other two were sitting in Bai Qiqi's room, all looking shocked and suspicious.
Bai Ziyun looked at Bai Qiqi. "Qiqi, this is the first time you've brought someone back. I didn't expect you to bring back such a formidable person!"
Bai Qiqi was slightly surprised. "Grandmother, do you believe Fellow Daoist Shangguan now?"
"I have no choice but to believe!"
Bai Ziyun sighed and shook her head with a wry smile. "The matter of this old woman having died once is known to no one. From this point of view, at least he saw it accurately!"
"Grandmother, this is actually true?"
Bai Qiqi was somewhat surprised. She had felt at the time that Bai Ziyun's expression was shocked, and guessed it might be true.
Hearing Bai Ziyun admit it personally, she couldn't help but be surprised. Had Grandmother really died once?
Bai Ziyun nodded slightly and then said, "Let's not talk about this. Since what this person said is highly likely to be true, it means that Wanling does indeed have an Inner Demon Tribulation, and it is currently being resolved!"
Hearing this, Bai Qiqi nodded slightly, and her heart relaxed a little.
But she heard Bai Ziyun continue, "You can think carefully. Since this Shangguan Sichen said that Wanling has an Inner Demon Tribulation, what have you all done?"
"If we can determine the key to this, and continue doing it, perhaps Wanling's Inner Demon Tribulation can be resolved."
Hearing this, Bai Qiqi and the other two nodded slightly.
Bai Qiqi closed her eyes and pondered for a moment, but couldn't help shaking her head. "It doesn't work. I just discussed the Inner Demon Tribulation with Wanling last night, and then I went to Cultivate."
"The next morning, I went to find you, Grandmother. I didn't do anything special!"
Hearing this, Bai Ziyun and the other turned to look at Bai Wanling.
Bai Wanling was slightly nervous. "I didn't do anything either. I just sent Young Master Si Chen and the others to rest, talked to Mother for a few words, and then went back to rest."
"The next day, I just ate some food with Young Master Si Chen and the others. Young Master Si Chen noticed something wrong and asked me to call Mother back."
Hearing this, Bai Ziyun and the other were both puzzled. Looking at it this way, there really was nothing, right?!
Bai Ziyun was about to ask more, but her expression changed slightly. "You mother and daughter think about it yourselves. The other Old Ancestors want me to go over; it seems there is something to discuss."
After speaking, Bai Ziyun disappeared from the room, leaving only the mother and daughter, Bai Qiqi, staring at each other.
Bai Qiqi pondered for a moment, then looked at Bai Wanling with a serious expression. "Wanling, think back carefully and tell Mother honestly: what exactly has happened during this period?"
She was certain that the problem didn't originate from her side, so it was highly likely that the problem was with her daughter.
Bai Wanling nodded slightly, closed her eyes, and began to recall last night's events. When she thought of Nangong Yu's face and that dream, her heart rate accelerated, and the roots of her ears turned slightly red.
Seeing her condition was wrong, Bai Qiqi's eyes changed slightly. This state seemed somewhat familiar!
Wait!
What is this?
Bai Qiqi looked at Bai Wanling's state and finally remembered something, her expression changing slightly.
"Wanling, wait a moment!"
Suddenly hearing her mother's voice, Bai Wanling was startled and quickly opened her eyes, puzzled. "Mother, what's wrong?"
Bai Qiqi's eyes were complex. "Wanling, tell Mother honestly, who were you thinking of just now?"
Hearing this, Bai Wanling's eyes dodged. "Mother, I was just recalling last night's events; I wasn't thinking of anyone!"
"Sigh!" Bai Qiqi sighed, sat down beside her, and said helplessly, "I am your mother. Can you not even tell me?"
Bai Wanling's eyes dodged, and she gritted her teeth. "Mother, if I say it, you must not be Life Qi!"
"Say it, Mother won't be Life Qi!" Bai Qiqi hugged her and smiled.
Bai Wanling bit her red lips and whispered, "Mother, I was thinking of Young Master Si Chen. I saw his face, and Sister Han's too."
Hearing this, Bai Qiqi thought to herself: As expected!
She took a deep breath and smiled bitterly in her heart. This is what you call the Inner Demon Tribulation being resolved?
Isn't this the object of the Inner Demon Tribulation changing?
But it's hard to say. The bad ones are called Inner Demon Tribulations, the good ones should perhaps be called predestined love!
It's just that she didn't know if what her silly daughter encountered this time was an Inner Demon Tribulation? Or predestined love?!
Whether it should be said or not, the unknown Inner Demon Tribulation was likely broken, but a new Inner Demon Tribulation or predestined love was brought back by her. It is truly the trickery of fate!
Seeing Bai Qiqi not speaking, Bai Wanling was a little nervous. "Mother, I..."
But before she could say more, she saw Bai Qiqi stroking her hair and smiling. "Don't be nervous, Mother wants to ask you something, is that okay?"
"Mother, ask!" Bai Wanling nodded slightly, her expression still a little nervous.
Bai Qiqi smiled and asked, "Why do you call Fellow Daoist Shangguan 'Young Master Si Chen'? And why do you call Fellow Daoist Han 'Sister Han'?"
Hearing this question, Bai Wanling also perked up and hurriedly recounted the morning's events.
After listening to her excited narration, Bai Qiqi nodded slightly, lost in thought.
