Chapter 364: The Lingering Ghost

The arrival of Wenlan and the other three people was not unexpected. After all, the Bai family is a branch of Confucianism and is part of the three major religions. Now that the Bai family is celebrating, the three major religions can't just ignore it and pretend to know nothing.

What surprised everyone was that although Wenlan and the other three people were present, no one brought any gifts!

Just as everyone couldn't help whispering, just as Mr. Bai's face was uncertain, and just as the leaders of the five major schools looked at each other, someone else came to the Bai family.

The old ancestor Yuchu of the Nongjia School brought Ding Kaishan to the Bai family.

As a result, the situation in Jishitang suddenly changed. The previous whispers stopped abruptly, and everyone stared at the old ancestor Yuchu and Mr. Bai.

But once again, the old ancestor Yuchu did not get angry on the spot as everyone imagined, but instead ordered Ding Kaishan to present a big gift - a spiritual herb with a medicinal effect of 5,000 years, up to the seventh level - Yin Yang Double Headed Black!

This Yin Yang Double-Headed Crow is definitely not an ordinary spiritual herb. It is said to be able to revive the dead, turn bones into flesh, and communicate with yin and yang. The seventh-level spiritual herb with a medicinal effect of 5,000 years is not inferior to the Nine-Pillar Dragon Subduing Plate sent by the Zhenzong in terms of value.

But, what is the old ancestor Yu Chu doing?

Even Mr. Bai, who is known for his wit, frowned while holding the Yin Yang Double-Headed Crow, as if it was a peerless poison.

"What? Old Master Bai, do you look down on this old man's gift? Or do you think that this Yin Yang Double-Headed Crow is a bit taboo and has disrupted your family's happy day?"

"This..., how could it be!? My generation of cultivators has always been in danger and disaster. How can there be any taboo or conflict with such a life-saving spiritual herb like Yin Yang Double-Headed Crow? Yushan thanks the old ancestor for your generosity. Not only did you come to the Bai family in person, but you also sent such a big gift!" When saying this, Bai Yushan respectfully bowed to the old ancestor Yu Chu. Patriarch Yuchu did not refuse. With his status as an equal to that of the Patriarch of the Bai Family, it was understandable for him to accept Bai Yushan's gift. Glancing at Bai Yushan, Patriarch Yuchu sighed, "Qingping is the daughter of Mu Dao after all. In the eyes of this old man, I always treat her as my granddaughter!"

"Of course!"

Bai Jintang and Li Qingping are getting married soon, and the overall situation has been decided. It is expected that Patriarch Yuchu will not be able to make any big waves. Could this move be the intention of this old guy to reconcile with the Bai Family? Could it be that Wenlan and the other three are the peacemakers that this old guy Yuchu has found?

Although he did not understand the purpose of Patriarch Yuchu giving him the extremely precious Yin-Yang Double-Headed Crow, Mr. Bai still treasured it and kept it.

Of course, because of Mr. Bai's flawless clone, this seventh-level spiritual herb was also handed over to Bai Yuchuan, who was standing by, and asked him to put it into the Bai Family's secret library.

"Hasn't the auspicious time come yet? Why don't the two newlyweds come?"

Bai Yushan was just trying to figure out what Patriarch Yuchu meant, but Patriarch Yuchu urged Bai Yushan to come.

His eyes turned and he saw that the auspicious time was almost here. Bai Yushan signaled the Bai family to act according to the plan. As for Patriarch Yuchu, Bai Yushan was not worried. Instead, Mr. Bai was quite unhappy that Wenlan and the other two came empty-handed.

Although the three major sects' attempt to suppress the Bai family did not cause a big stir in the city, it was no secret to the suppressed Bai family. On this big day today, the envoys of the three major sects were clearly present but did not send gifts. They had ulterior motives!

After a while, Bai Jintang, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and Li Qingping, wearing a phoenix crown and a bridal robe, came to Jishitang.

Everyone congratulated them, but just as the two were about to get married, Li Qingping spoke.

"Today is Laba, according to the rules, we should worship our ancestors and gods, right?"

"It's rare that Qingping is thoughtful! But we have already worshipped before..." Mr. Bai said this, and Li Qingping looked at the future father-in-law and smiled: "Didn't we worship the ancestors of the Bai family before? Qingping's surname is Li, and my father is Li Mudao!"

As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked.

Mr. Bai's face turned pale in an instant, and even Bai Jintang, who was always gentle and elegant, looked at Li Qingping, who was usually gentle and gracious, with disbelief.

"Qingping! What are you doing? After the wedding, we are a family. You marry into my Bai family and become my daughter-in-law. How can there be a difference between the Bai family and the Li family?" Bai Jintang said this with anger, and the pressure of the golden elixir on his body was also hidden from time to time. But before Li Qingping could agree to anything, Patriarch Yuchu smiled faintly: "Old man, I think Qingping's words are not unreasonable! She married into the Bai family and is a member of your Bai family, but now she has not married into the Bai family, right? Why? The Bai family does not recognize that she is the daughter of Li Mudao? Or do they think that her Li family is not worthy of your Bai family?"

Patriarch Yuchu's words were light, but they suppressed Bai Jintang's golden elixir pressure, and also made Mr. Bai's face look extremely ugly - Patriarch Yuchu's words were simply heart-piercing. If Li Qingping was not the daughter of Li Mudao, then Lingcaotang, which originally belonged to Li Mudao, would not have Li Qingping's share; if it was said that the Li family was not worthy of the Bai family, the Bai family would have many twists and turns if they wanted to annex the Li family's Lingcaotang.

But today is the wedding day of Bai Jintang and Li Qingping after all, and it is really a bit inappropriate to worship the ancestors of the Li family in the wedding hall. What made Mr. Bai feel even more uneasy was Li Qingping's determination and firmness today. Previously, because of Bai Caiwei's restraint, Li Qingping was obedient to Bai Jintang. Now it seems that letting Bai Caiwei and Li Qingping come into contact too early is not a good thing!

Wait!

Could it be that Li Qingping was poisoned a few days ago...

Thinking of this, Mr. Bai's heart skipped a beat, but his face calmed down.

"What a good child! Qingping, since you have this intention, I will fulfill your wish! Otherwise, someone will say that my Bai family is ungrateful and unkind!"

Having said this, Mr. Bai waved his hand, and immediately the Bai family's servants went to prepare all the things for worshipping the ancestors and worshipping the gods. Perhaps because the Bai family had worshipped before, they soon prepared everything in the courtyard in front of Jishitang. In full view of everyone, Li Qingping came to the long table in a wedding dress, knelt in the courtyard, and sobbed silently.

But at this time, another person appeared in the courtyard in front of the hall.

Dressed in white, sad and graceful.

The person who came was Bai Caiwei. Back then, the name of the poison master Bai Caiwei was even more famous in Wanzong City than Mr. Bai Da and Mr. Bai Er. However, Bai Caiwei had always lived in seclusion and few people had seen her. Therefore, Bai Caiwei's appearance did not attract much attention. Only the old ancestor Yu Chu changed his face when he saw Bai Caiwei.

When Li Mudao fell in love with Bai Caiwei, the old ancestor Yu Chu had tried every means to dissuade him, but in the end it was in vain. For Bai Caiwei, the old ancestor Yu Chu was not without prejudice.

Bai Caiwei also saw the old ancestor Yu Chu and nodded to him from a distance. As for Mr. Bai Da, the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger when he saw Bai Caiwei. According to the previous plan, Bai Caiwei would not appear at the wedding.

At this moment, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew on the square table in front of Li Qingping.

This gust of cold wind came very strangely. Before everyone could see what was going on, the cold wind dissipated into nothingness, but a faint shadow appeared in front of the square table.

The phantom was extremely illusory, but it was still possible to see that it was the form of a middle-aged man. It was fine for others, but Mr. Bai's face changed drastically when he saw the phantom. Even the old man Yu Chu and Bai Caiwei changed their expressions drastically when they saw the phantom. They couldn't help themselves.

It was because the phantom was a remnant of Li Mudao's soul!

"Remnant soul!?"

"Li Mudao!?"

"This is a remnant of Li Mudao's soul!"

There were cultivators who were proficient in ghost arts at the scene, and there were also people who knew Li Mudao. After several rounds of discussion, everyone present knew that the phantom that appeared in front of the square table was the unparalleled farmer's spiritual plant master Li Mudao!

"Mu Dao is incompetent and has caused trouble for the Nong family and the ancestors!" After a light sigh, the residual soul of Li Mu Dao bowed to the Jade Chu Patriarch. After that, the residual soul turned around and looked at Bai Caiwei. After a long time, he smiled bitterly and said, "Caiwei, you have lost weight!"

"Mu Dao, you...how did you..."

"The reason why I, Li Mu Dao, have fallen to the point of being a lonely ghost today is all thanks to your Bai family!"

"How dare you!" With a roar, Mr. Bai released the Nine-Turn Ruyi Cauldron, and a flame shot out from the mouth of the cauldron, and rushed towards the residual soul of Li Mu Dao, saying, "Where did you come from, a lonely ghost, and dared to play tricks in my Bai family!?"

"You are the one who is so presumptuous!" With a flick of his hand, a stream of jade light flew out from the fingertips of the Jade Chu Patriarch, hitting the flame and knocking it away. At the same time, the figure of Patriarch Yuchu had already arrived at the side of the square table, protecting the remnant soul of Li Mudao behind him, and roared at Mr. Bai: "Bai Yushan! If you have the guts, try it again! You are dreaming to kill people in front of me, Yuchu!"

"..., Patriarch Yuchu, what do you want?"

"Not much! I want to hear: how did the most outstanding disciple of my Nongjialiu generation be framed by your Bai family and become so scared today!" As he spoke, Patriarch Yuchu His stern gaze shifted from Bai Yushan to the five sect leaders who were ready to make a move, and then stopped at the God of Killing who was farther away. His aura soared all the way, and after breaking through the limit of the initial stage of the Nascent Soul, he ignored the people who all changed their expressions, and said word by word: "Today, whoever dares to go against me, I will fight to the death!"

As he spoke, the aura of the old man Yu Chu had already entered the realm of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and as a result, his words seemed even more sonorous and powerful.
