Chapter 163: The Moment Finally Arrived

“Crazy? Who’s crazy? How did hel go crazy?”

Jiang Dai looked at her eldest son with confusion, her face filled with deep concern.

No way!

Although her eldest son was mischievous and disobedient, he was clever and quick-witted.

Now he’s gone mad?

That can’t be true.

Bai Yunxing nodded. “Yes! Eldest Brother asked me for gold.”

How could he not be crazy, suddenly asking for gold so confidently?

Bai Yunqi, watching his second brother go tattling: …

He just mentioned it casually, and this guy immediately went to report it?

With an expressionless face, he sighed as if resigned to his fate.

He glanced down at his not-so-long legs, estimating the distance between them.

Without hesitation, Bai Yunqi kicked out, precisely hitting the back of Bai Yunxing’s knee.

Caught off guard, Bai Yunxing almost fell flat on his face but managed to kneel down, supporting himself with his hands.

He turned back, puzzled and a bit aggrieved, looking at his Eldest Brother.

Why kick him? Besides…

Wasn’t Eldest Brother supposed to be on the brink of death? How could he still kick him?

Seeing her second son suddenly kneeling on the ground from the kick, Jiang Dai’s hand moved uncontrollably.

With a “smack,” she hit Bai Yunqi on the head.

Bai Yunqi held his forehead, looking at his mother with grievance and confusion. Although it didn’t hurt much, why did she suddenly hit him…

Oh, he seemed to have lost control earlier and kicked his second brother.

Realizing this, Bai Yunqi immediately knew what to do.

He looked at his kneeling second brother. “Sorry.”

After apologizing, Bai Yunqi turned to his mother, as if to say, now it’s your turn.

Jiang Dai: ???

Why did this feel so strange?

But Jiang Dai hesitated a bit before saying to Bai Yunqi, “I’m… sorry.”

Bai Yunqi nodded and then lay down to sleep.

What else could he do?

It was clear he had successfully fooled his mother. It was better to “pass out” and stay safe. This wasn’t the place to reveal his identity.

Better to wait until they were home, when it was quiet and private.

So, he decided to sleep first, knowing the strong men of the Mu Family Army would carry him back.

Watching her eldest son fall asleep, Jiang Dai felt her head buzzing, as if she were dreaming.

What on earth was going on with everyone?

Thanks to Bai Yunqi, the Mu Family squad in the cave was mostly unharmed.

However, the mental states of Bai Family’s eldest aunt and second uncle were not good, and they would likely be tormented by fear for a long time.

Bei Lanfeng and the others, who had been subdued, were taken back by the Mu Family Army for interrogation by Mu Zhaoyuan herself.

One of the Mu Family Army carried the unconscious Bai Yunqi back to the County Yamen, accompanied by Jiang Dai and Bai Yunxing.

As soon as they entered the door, Jiang Dai saw Bai Tian rushing over in a panic.

“Jiang Dai, Jiang Dai, Goudan ran off again on his own!!!!”

Bai Tian felt like the sky was falling.

He had been guarding the door, yet Bai Goudan still managed to escape!!

What kind of reincarnation was this eldest son of theirs?

Such a runaway!

A rabbit, perhaps!

Jiang Dai didn’t answer, just turned her head to the side.

Bai Tian followed her gaze and saw their eldest son, unconscious on the back of the Mu Family Army.

In that moment, Bai Tian’s face clearly showed an expression of numbness and bewilderment.

He couldn’t understand how his eldest son ended up here.

Jiang Dai patted Bai Tian’s shoulder. “It’s okay, it’s not your fault. The bad guys were too strong! They took our son.”

Standing in the corner, listening to his mother, Bai Yun’an and the Bai Family’s little Juanjuan: …

【Seriously? Eldest Brother is out there making up stories again?】

【How was he taken? Didn’t I provide cover for him to escape on his own?】

Bai Yun’an couldn’t help but complain.

Juanjuan touched her nose, and in the next second, she froze in place.

She heard Eldest Brother’s inner thoughts.

Eldest Brother was going to confess???

Then Third Brother…

Juanjuan turned to look at her third brother, who had no idea what was about to happen.

Their parents had long suspected something, and with the switch on the ox cart, once Eldest Brother confessed, only Third Brother would be left.

If Third Brother confessed, then she…

Juanjuan wasn’t sure if she should reveal that she could hear her parents’ thoughts.

The little one was confused.

Originally, the whole family was hiding things, and she was hiding too, which seemed fine.

But now, in almost a single day, everyone was confessing???

Juanjuan, lost in thought, followed her parents and brothers into the house like a little automaton.

“Mom, Dad…”

Bai Yunqi’s weak voice came from the bed.

Juanjuan’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at her “just awakened” Eldest Brother.

Was it starting now!!

Under the concerned gaze of their parents.

Bai Yunqi lowered his voice, speaking mysteriously. “Let’s go home quickly. I have a secret to tell you.”

Jiang Dai and Bai Tian exchanged a glance, clearly seeing the suspicion in each other’s eyes.

Their eldest son… had a secret?

Seeing his parents unmoved, Bai Yunqi quietly added.

“I’m like the second brother.”

He couldn’t say more than that.

He needed to go home, get some gold, restore his Spiritual Power, and set up a Soundproof Barrier before he could speak.

What if someone with special abilities was around, able to eavesdrop like he once could?

At that moment, the room fell completely silent.

Jiang Dai: 【Goudan is a transmigrator too???】

Bai Tian: 【Wait! Like the second brother! Like the second brother! Like the second brother!!!】

Bai Yunxing: 【Eldest Brother… was replaced too? I was more suspicious of Third Brother! Wait! How does Eldest Brother know I was replaced???】

Bai Yun’an: 【Alright, time to prepare the backup plan.】

Juanjuan: The moment has finally come!!!

…

In the Bai Family’s small house.

“Mom, Dad, give me some gold.”

Bai Yunqi’s opening was a direct hit.

Bai Tian responded with evasion. “We don’t have money, where would we get gold?”

Even when the family had money before, they didn’t tell the kids.

Keeping wealth hidden was wise.

Bai Yunqi looked at his father, blinked, and pointed to the bedpost. “Isn’t there some in there?”

Could he not sense Spiritual Energy easily?

Did he not know where the gold was in the house?

In that instant, Bai Tian saw all four of his children looking at the bedpost.

Bai Tian: 【How does he know!!】

“I need gold to restore my Spiritual Power.”

Bai Yunqi spoke calmly, but he couldn’t hide the smugness and nonchalance in his demeanor.

It made people want to give him a slap.

Bai Yunxing and Juanjuan, the two local kids, didn’t know what Spiritual Power was.

But Jiang Dai and Bai Tian immediately perked up.

“Spiritual Power!”

The two exclaimed in unison with perfect synchronicity.

Bai Tian: 【I didn’t hear wrong, did I! Spiritual Power! It’s actually Spiritual Power!】

Jiang Dai: 【Spiritual Power! Immortal Cultivation! No way!】

Bai Yunqi slightly curled his lips, thoroughly enjoying the moment. He waved his hand as if it were no big deal (pretending to be modest).

“Come on, give me the gold first.”
