I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family

Chapter 729: Chapter 737 Once I Leave This Door, I Won’t Recognize

Bai Zhi was startled, not expecting Xu Yan to be so serious, which made her doubt for a moment whether he knew something.

Bai Zhi didn’t know why she had changed, to one day harbor doubts about Xu Yan as well, but she didn’t dare let down her guard.

It wasn’t because of distrust, but because she didn’t trust anyone other than Moh Li.

As for Moh Li, the two of them were the least likely to betray each other because their fates were intertwined.

As for why this was the case, Bai Zhi had always thought it was because of the Jade Pendant, but later she found out…

“Brother, do you know something?”

Bai Zhi asked directly, and Xu Yan too was taken aback, thinking his sister would never voice the question.

Then they continued to live together, estranged yet familiar.

“It is that I know, and I know a lot. I know a lot about the Bai Family…”

Xu Yan looked at Bai Zhi and reached out to pat her head. A smile formed at the corner of his mouth, just like that winter when he held her hand and said,

“Don’t be afraid with brother here, we will walk the path ahead together.”

“Brother…”

Bai Zhi’s eyes reddened, and looking at Xu Yan in front of her, tears suddenly fell.

She thought, she thought he wouldn’t say it.

She thought they would continue like this, doubting each other. Probing, learning something from the other’s words, then continuing the skepticism…

Over the years, they actually had many secrets and were no longer as they once were.

“Why cry? As the brother, it’s natural that I bow my head first. Is there a problem with that?”

Xu Yan said somewhat helplessly, continuing to pinch her face.

“Little sister, in this world everything might be false, but you have to believe that I am real.”

To him, this world was sometimes indistinguishable between real and fake.

But it was only after finding his sister that he asserted his real existence.

In that world, and in this one, he truly existed.

He was not nothingness, he would do many things for success, but he would never lie to his sister.

In fact, he had countless methods to succeed, so why should he make his sister sad?

Besides, he also loved this country.

“Do you believe me, sister?”

Xu Yan looked at Bai Zhi with a tender gaze, just like in the past.

Bai Zhi nodded vigorously, tears continuing to fall.

“I believe you, I do. Brother, I’ve never distrusted you, I just don’t trust myself. I feel like I have paranoia, that everyone wants to capture me…

And then start to dissect me for study, this Jade Pendant too, I’ve tried it, but it’s just useless.”

Bai Zhi felt she truly was too selfish, always having that hint of vigilance towards Xu Yan.

“I understand, I know. Sweetheart, shall we go back and talk it over, okay?”

Xu Yan reached out his hand, wiped away Bai Zhi’s tears, and held her hand as they slowly walked back.

Just like the year he brought her home.

At home, Xu Yan poured a glass of water for Bai Zhi.

“Sister, from now on, you need to listen carefully to what I’m going to tell you. I’ll only say it once, and I won’t acknowledge it once you step out of this door. Do you understand?”

Xu Yan looked around; actually, this place was quite safe.

Bai Zhi’s eyes widened in disbelief as she heard Xu Yan’s words.

“When I first came here, I met you, but at that time I didn’t recognize anyone. I wanted to climb up the ranks, so, using my skills, I met someone.

That person is very important to the country. I’ve always followed him, dealing with some matters. Later, I was assigned to do business and that’s when I met Han Feng.

In everyone’s eyes, I’m from a thug background. The Hann Family has been kind to me and they are also a traditional Chinese medicine family.

At that time, Han Feng had actually already recovered, or perhaps he had never been sick at all.

The first time I heard about the Bai Family was because of that hypnosis bracelet. The first experiment they conducted used your father, though I didn’t know it was you at the time.

Later on, I started to get involved with other matters, and eventually we took down the hypnosis bracelet in one fell swoop.

Because I performed exceptionally well in part of it, the Hann Family was saved, so Han Feng had to leave.

Next was your kidnapping. I learned about this from Han Feng himself; he was exceptionally agitated, angry, and regretful, saying he had hurt the most important person to him. You were the one in his heart.

He said he didn’t know it was you, didn’t know you were the one captured, and most of all, didn’t know you were the one being drained of blood. So, he killed the person who hurt you and came back.

Their losses were too great; they could only recoup from elsewhere. I have only recently been able to return.

Because Han Feng returned without noticing anything unusual about the Bai Family.

But they always believed the Bai Family had secrets. Because the head of the Hann Family was once a member of the Bai Family.”

Xu Yan’s words shocked Bai Zhi, but she quickly came to a realization. “I understand now, who that person is, I know.”

Bai Zhi knew. It was what Grandpa had said, the Ancestor had personally taken action to clean house.

“Isn’t he in his seventies or eighties? Why does he still have to cause trouble, determined to be at odds with our Bai Family?”

Bai Zhi finally understood why those people had their sights set on the Bai Family time and again, never willing to let go.

Because he was originally a member of the Bai Family, of course, he knew some things; that’s why he never wanted to give up.

“So this tragedy of mine is thanks to him, right? Starting with Bai Da, everything has been a setup, presumably all for the sake of hypnosis—he wanted to know something. Then I was captured, bled, all of it was like this…”

Bai Zhi looked at Xu Yan, tears falling once more. This was her brother; why would she not want to believe him?

“Right, his goal has always been to hold onto time. He has always believed in the existence of a Portable space and has tried more than once to prove it. He actually wants to hold onto time.”

Bai Zhi was stunned, then smiled bitterly. Hold onto time, huh?

What good does holding onto time do? It’s just being the Array Eye within these mountains, over and over again.

Her gaze shifted toward the deep mountains. The reason she was able to study well and live a normal life now was because of the Ancestor there.

That was also where she belonged; they had long lives, holding onto the so-called time, but they could never leave that place because they were the Array Eye. If they left, they would be discovered.

She was willing, just as the Ancestor had said.

Xingxing, I am willing, because I still want to see the dragon soar.

“Sister, you have to remember, he’s been scheming for years, even his own great-grandson Han Feng has been thrown here for many years. Do you still expect him to care? As his health deteriorates, he will become even more ruthless.

So, you must be careful, do you understand? Now that they can act so brazenly, you absolutely have to be careful. I must go to that place because it contains something they desire, and I must get there first to obtain it.

Drunken Moon Restaurant is owned by me and Han Feng; you can trust it. I believe Han Feng won’t hurt you.”
