As Su Weiwei spoke, all eyes were immediately drawn to her.
Bai Zihe also remembered.
The last time he met Qin Yuan, it was just when her father was refined into a corpse puppet, nearly killing Qin Yuan.
And at the last moment, her father used his remaining sanity to commit suicide.
Otherwise, it would have been another human tragedy.
"These past few days."
"Qin Yuan has integrated the underworld of Su Hang."
"Those forces that dared to resist were suppressed by her with iron-blooded methods, and even... directly wiped out."
"Her methods are decisive and ruthless, and her execution is strong. Compared to before... she is a completely different person, I almost don't recognize her."
Su Weiwei sighed with emotion.
Bai Zihe also fell silent, sighing inwardly.
It seemed that the death of Qin Yuan's father had dealt her such a heavy blow that it caused her personality to change drastically.
He wondered if this was a good thing or a bad thing.
"Is Sister Qin Yuan this powerful now?"
Bai Ruoyi couldn't help but gasp.
Hearing this, Bai Zhanhong sighed, "This girl must have suffered a lot."
"You should find time to invite her to the Bai family. Let's have a meal together and chat, and get closer."
This calculation.
Bai Zihe knew what he was thinking with his toes and said nothing.
The meal passed like this.
After it was over.
Su Weiwei pulled Liu Qianxun and Yan Zhiyun, asking them to explain their trip to Miao Jiang.
As the saying goes, three women make a scene, and it's true.
In just a few minutes.
The four women were chattering and chirping non-stop.
When they got excited, clear laughter echoed endlessly.
Bai Zihe was not interested in these things.
He said to Bai Zhanhong, "Dad, I have something I want to ask you."
Bai Zhanhong was listening with great interest.
But seeing that Bai Zihe looked very serious, he got up and went into the room with him.
Bai Zihe directly took out the ten-sided polyhedron and asked directly, "Dad, about this ten-sided polyhedron, is there something you've been hiding from me?"
According to the Gu King.
This ten-sided polyhedron was of great importance and its whereabouts should have been a top secret.
Only the Miao Jiang Gu Emperor and the high-level officials of the Great Xia at that time knew about it.
And his father said that his mother had come fleeing from famine with the ten-sided polyhedron...
This was obviously unreasonable.
Either his mother had lied to his father from the beginning.
Or, his father knew some truth but lied to him.
Hearing this, Bai Zhanhong's expression changed immediately: "Zihe, you know everything?"
Before Bai Zihe could answer, Bai Zhanhong gave a wry smile.
"Since you've found some clues, I won't hide it from you anymore."
Bai Zihe listened attentively.
"In fact, Wanzhen did not come fleeing from famine."
"When I got together with her, I went to her home and met her parents, your maternal grandfather and grandmother."
"And your maternal grandmother was the guardian of the ten-sided polyhedron at that time!"
Guardian!
Bai Zhanhong's words matched what the Gu King had said.
According to the Gu King, the Gu Emperor feared that the ten-sided polyhedron would fall into the hands of the people of Great Xia, so he specially sent it out and found a guardian to protect it.
The family of Bai Zihe's maternal grandmother was probably the first guardian found by the Gu Emperor.
"However..."
"Since the guardian could only be a woman."
"When your mother realized something was wrong, she did not let me pass the ten-sided polyhedron to you. Ruoyi was even younger at the time, so she didn't pass it to her either, hence it was hidden."
Bai Zihe nodded in understanding.
Bai Zhanhong continued, "But before Wanzhen had an accident, a person found her and asked about the ten-sided polyhedron."
Bai Zihe quickly asked, "Who was it?"
"I don't know him either."
A look of confusion and reminiscence flashed in Bai Zhanhong's eyes. "This person had white hair and beard, like an enlightened immortal, carrying a long sword on his back, and gave off a feeling of a spring breeze."
Master!
Hearing his description, Bai Zihe immediately thought of his master.
He quickly pressed on, "What happened next? What did that person say?"
Bai Zhanhong shook his head. "He said a few words to your mother in private. As for what exactly was said, I asked Wanzhen, but she kept her mouth shut."
"I think it might have been about the secret of the ten-sided polyhedron, so I didn't ask further."
Hearing this, Bai Zihe's heart was in turmoil for a long time.
His master actually knew about the ten-sided polyhedron.
Then he...
Was he from Great Xia, or from the Gu Emperor's side?
Or, neither?
Seeing Bai Zihe lost in thought, Bai Zhanhong got up and left.
Bai Zihe's mind was a mess.
He thought for a long time but couldn't figure anything out.
He vaguely knew that the Lin family being targeted, his mother's death, and his master's disappearance, all these events had the shadow of the ten-sided polyhedron behind them.
Unable to figure out the specific details, Bai Zihe went downstairs and went for a walk outside.
As he walked, he arrived at the quiet bar where he had met Qin Yuan last time. Seeing the name "Gardenia Blossoms," he thought of his mother again and walked in.
After ordering a few drinks at the bar, Bai Zihe sat by the window.
Bai Zihe was halfway through his drink.
A woman covered in blood staggered in.
"Sir, save... save me!"
She propped herself up on the table, her body trembling, her face filled with pleading.
"Girl!"
"Do you think you can escape?"
Behind her, a group of burly men stormed in.
When they saw the woman, they immediately rushed in, and the glinting large knives in their hands immediately scared away a group of drinking patrons.
Bai Zihe frowned.
He was not a saint.
Violence and bloodshed happened all the time in this world.
If he had to intervene in every incident, he would have nothing else to do and would have to invite the one from Leshan to come out and sit on his throne himself.
Immediately, he turned his head away, his meaning self-evident.
He was not getting involved in this.
"Kid, you're smart."
The leading burly man had already approached, his ferocious expression clearly visible. "You can't run, can you? Why aren't you running anymore?"
The next moment.
A cleaver, still stained with a trace of blood, appeared in front of her.
The cold glint on the blade clearly reflected the fine hairs on her face.
The woman knew she had nowhere to retreat and could only beg Bai Zihe for help.
"Sir, I am from Qin Yuan, the king of Su Hang's underworld."
"If you are willing to help me, the underworld king will definitely repay you!"
Qin Yuan's person!
Bai Zihe was stunned, finding it both laughable and exasperating.
The last time he met Qin Yuan was here, because she was being chased by a group of people.
He didn't expect that this time, although she didn't come, her subordinate did, still at this "Gardenia Blossoms" quiet bar, and was still being chased.
"I'll protect her."
A cold glint flashed in Bai Zihe's eyes. "You... get out of my sight within ten seconds."
