Supreme Swordsman

Chapter 99 The Truth
The night is getting darker.

The White Mansion was covered with nothingness, and within three days, the mourning halls of Bai Rong and Baicheng hadn't been dismantled yet.

Sitting in the mourning hall, looking at the lonely tablet, Bai Canghai seemed to have aged a lot.

It had been three days, but he still couldn't accept this fact. Every time he closed his eyes, it was as if the two children were right in front of his eyes.

For the past three days, every night he sat alone in the mourning hall and kept watch, and drove everyone else out, as if that was the only way he could feel the presence of his two sons.

A gust of wind blew past, the candles in the mourning hall shook a few times, and a shadow appeared silently under the candlelight.

"Get out! As I said, no matter what happens, don't bother me."

Without even turning his head, Bai Canghai cursed directly.

It's just that the expected sound of admitting mistakes and apologizing did not come, and even the shadow still stood there quietly without any change.

This time, no matter how slow Bai Canghai reacted, he finally realized that something was wrong.

Turning around suddenly, he saw a young man dressed in white standing behind him calmly, looking at the two spirit tablets with an indifferent expression.

"Third Uncle, long time no see."

Looking at Bai Canghai, Bai Le also had mixed feelings in his heart at this moment. After a long silence, he opened his mouth softly.

This third uncle sounded like a thunderclap in Bai Canghai's ears.

"Bai Le!"

With some difficulty uttering these two words from his mouth, Bai Canghai's eyes were full of hatred, but there was also a bit of fear and complexity.

Naturally, he should hate, the hatred of killing his son is irreconcilable!
But he knew in his heart that in terms of strength, he was actually not much stronger than Bai Rong. Bai Le could kill even Baicheng. Now standing in front of him, he could easily kill him as well. How could he not be afraid.

In addition, the complexity in my heart is even more difficult to describe in words.

When these emotions piled up together, at this moment, he couldn't say anything except the name Bai Le.

Looking at the two tokens calmly, Bai Le didn't even look at Bai Canghai's expression, and said softly, "Seven years ago, I looked at the spirit tokens like this! At that time, I was cold and scared, and I wished I could follow my parents and go."

"Third Uncle, do you know? Before I came back this time, I only had resentment but no hatred for you and the Bai family." Bai Le's voice seemed a bit ethereal, as if he had traveled through time and space for many years, "It's Brother Rong , told me the truth back then! I should thank him, but I must also kill him."

"..." Hearing Bai Le's words, Bai Canghai was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Although he knew that Bai Le's murder must be because he knew the truth back then, but he never thought that Bai Rong would tell the truth himself. of.

"Do you hate me?" Bai Le's voice was still very soft, as if without any emotion, "You should hate me! But...I hate you too!"

In an instant, Bai Le's tone suddenly turned cold, as if in an instant, the air in the entire mourning hall cooled down.

Turning around slowly, looking down at Bai Canghai, Bai Le said word by word, "Third Uncle, tell me! What happened back then."

After a moment of silence, Bai Canghai's eyes suddenly showed a look of madness, and he said sharply, "What happened, what did you say? The Blood Shadow Demon Sect infiltrated Qingzhou Mansion, Po Nanfei personally chose our Bai family, or Surrender to the Blood Shadow Demon Sect, or the Bai family will be completely destroyed, how do you choose?"

This was the second time Bai Le had heard the name Blood Shadow Demon Sect.

Bai Canghai's words made sense, but Bai Le didn't believe a word.

"Third uncle, are you bullying me when I was young? Although my father is a bit pedantic, if such a choice is in front of him, he should know what choice to make."

After a slight pause, Bai Canghai then sneered and said, "That's right, I coveted the position of Patriarch! Unfortunately, the choice is ultimately made by him, Bai Canglan himself! It's not others who refuse to break Nanfei, but themselves!"

"Is it because of me?" Looking at Bai Canghai, Bai Le asked softly with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

"..." Hearing Bai Le's words, Bai Canghai couldn't help but hesitate slightly. He never thought that Bai Le actually guessed the reason.

"Surrendering to the Blood Shadow Demon Sect is not just a matter of talk, but the direct descendants must practice magic skills to win their trust, and they are really on the same boat as them, right?" Bai Canghai didn't need to explain, Bai Le said it himself Going on, "The person they picked at the beginning was actually me, right?"

This point is actually not difficult to guess.

If the Blood Shadow Demon Sect wants to control the Bai family, the first choice is naturally the father who was the head of the family at the time, and as a means of check and balance, letting himself join the Blood Shadow Demon Sect to practice magic skills is naturally the best choice.

I didn't like martial arts since I was a child, and I devoted myself to studying, but I was young after all, so it was easy to cultivate loyalty to the sect.

But... I have been weak since I was a child, and I have never suffered any hardships. If I really want to join the Blood Shadow Demon Sect, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive the cruel screening at the beginning.

Most importantly, parents know very well what it means to practice Mogong.

That means a road of no return, and since then it has been tolerated in the world, once exposed, there will be no place for burial.

Parents are reluctant to let themselves go on this road of no return, but they also understand that they must not leak the news of the Blood Shadow Demon Sect, otherwise, everyone in the Bai family will die!Because of this, they will choose to commit suicide.

Protect yourself in this way.

Because only when they are dead, their identities will become insignificant, and the Blood Shadow Demon Sect will no longer have a reason to choose themselves.

Everything was as they expected, because of their deaths, the pressure fell on Bai Canghai.

And the choice Bai Canghai made was to let Baicheng join the Blood Shadow Demon Sect and embark on this road of no return.

However, no one thought that the ten-year-old me would run away from home, join the Lingxi Sword Sect, and return so abruptly and forcefully.

No, maybe it's not that simple.

My third uncle is probably not as simple as he said.

Coveting the position of Patriarch, he may also have played the role of pushing hand in the whole matter, speeding up the process, otherwise, with the character of his parents, he may not think of a way to take the risk of sending himself out of the Bai family in advance.

With just a few words, Bai Le had almost guessed the truth of the year.

"You know everything, why do you want to do this to them?" Staring at Bai Le, Bai Canghai asked calmly, "Your parents' death is their own fault, it's your doting that killed them! You If you want to hate, you should also hate yourself, what's the matter with Guan Rong'er and Cheng'er?"

"What's wrong with Moxiu? Must Moxiu be an unforgivable sin?"

At this moment, Bai Canghai seemed to have vented all the resentment in his heart.

"So it's right for him to force sister Qingya to be a concubine?" Looking quietly at Bai Canghai, Bai Le said calmly, "So, as soon as I come back, he should let Brother Cheng kill me, right? ?”

"What is Bai Qingya? She was just adopted by your mother. She is just a woman raised by your side. When you grow up, she will marry you as a concubine and become your plaything!" Staring at Bai Le , Bai Canghai said bitterly, "Rong'er has a crush on her, what's the big deal?"

Shaking his head slightly, Bai Le's eyes showed a look of dismay, and he said softly, "In your eyes, Sister Qing Ya is just a woman from a humble background, but in my heart, she is my only family member in this world."

"Third Uncle, don't use your dark mind to judge my mother! Ever since I was a child, my mother has always regarded Sister Qingya as her daughter." With a sigh, Bai Le continued, "I killed Bai Rong because Damn him!"

"As for Brother Cheng..." With a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, Bai Le said coldly, "Do you really care about his life?"

When Bai Cheng died, Bai Le didn't understand why Bai Cheng showed such a relieved look, and why he told himself the truth before he died.

But at this moment, when seeing Bai Canghai, everything seemed to be clear.

Baicheng is just Bai Canghai's illegitimate son outside, if he hadn't joined the Blood Shadow Demon Sect, he would have no status at all.

For Bai Canghai, what he really cares about has always been Bai Rong.

Since he was a child, Baicheng has always wanted to get his attention, so after joining the Blood Shadow Demon Sect, Baicheng practiced crazily, in the cruelest and craziest way, and stood out, and even became Po Nanfei's disciple. In seven years, he stepped into the Lingfu realm.

But in order to obtain all of these, the pain and suffering that Baicheng endured are simply beyond what outsiders can imagine.

Baicheng's talent itself is not very good, just like in that battle, he was able to fight himself to that extent, not because of his own strength, but because he didn't care about his own life at all, and dared to fight to the death .

However, after paying so much, Baicheng still understands in his heart that he still hasn't been able to get Bai Canghai's love.

In Bai Canghai's eyes, he is just a pawn, a bond used to connect the Bai family and the Blood Shadow Demon Sect, a child who was abandoned by Bai Canghai seven years ago!
Baicheng has been living in pain all these years, and it is difficult to escape.

Therefore, knowing that I don't have much intention to kill him, I still insist on fighting myself.

Because only in this way can he find the meaning of his existence.

Baicheng has always claimed that I am against a city with one man!
These words sound domineering, happy!But if you think about it carefully, you can read a lot of loneliness and despair from it!

Alone, yes, for Baicheng, he is always alone.

One person faces all difficulties and pains alone, one person faces all enemies alone, with no relatives and no hope...

And all of this was created by Bai Canghai.

He couldn't hate his father, so he could only bury everything deep in his heart until the moment he died, and then he was freed, and he could tell Bai Le the secret he should keep when he was alive.

It seemed that only at that moment was he truly alive!
