Lin Shu’s heart skipped a beat as she watched the teacup shatter into powder. There was a hint of anger in her eyes as she said, “Don’t forget who helped you when you were at your lowest. Otherwise, you would have been eaten by wild dogs long ago!” Lin Shu stared at Bai Mu with a gloomy expression and forced herself to calm down.
“Of course I remember your kindness. However, I’ve reached a bottleneck in my cultivation recently. If I can’t break through, I’m afraid I won’t be able to do anything for you…” Bai Mu said calmly. His meaning was obvious. If Lin Shu didn’t help him, there was nothing he could do.
Lin Shu’s expression darkened when she heard that he was actually threatening her again. When she thought of the things Bai Mu used for his cultivation, Lin Shu became impatient. She had sent him five just yesterday, but he wanted more today? If this continued, it would definitely cause chaos. “I’ll help you with this, but if you can’t bring my son back, don’t blame me.” Lin Shu’s eyes were filled with killing intent.
Bai Mu smiled sinisterly. As expected, people with power could deal with things so easily. “Don’t worry, as long as I succeed, I’ll immediately return your son to you.”
Aunt Lin looked at the departing Bai Mu with a worried expression as she said to Lin Shu, “This person is too dangerous.”
Lin Shu was helpless and said, “I know! But what can we do? Other than him, no one can return a healthy body to my son… This must be handled well.”
“But our people have just captured a batch of babies. If we attack again… it will take some time…” Aunt Lin didn’t expect Bai Mu to be so crazy as to use live babies to cultivate.
“Tell the people below to be careful.” Lin Shu had been fretting these few days. Not only was she being controlled by Lin Hang, but she was also threatened by Bai Mu. However, all of this was for her son’s sake, so she didn’t regret it!
…
These days, Xu Qing had been treating Ao Jie, while Ao Jie kept forcing himself to accept what happened when he was seven years old. He could occasionally remember some scenes and he knew the existence of the other two personalities.
Xu Qing was overjoyed. After Ao Jie started communicating with the other two personalities, the problem would be easier to resolve. She had just finished treating Ao Jie today and was about to return to the Qiao family when she saw a man in black rush over and say something in Ao Jie’s ear.
Killing intent instantly appeared on Ao Jie’s face.
Xu Qing couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”
As Ao Jie looked at Xu Qing, he thought for a moment and said, “Why would a person need so many babies?”
Xu Qing was stunned. What kind of question was this? How could she know? Perhaps that person liked children too much?
“Previously, we found out that when a black-robed man had appeared beside Lin Shu, Lin Shu started to collect babies. I’ve already gotten someone to secretly take action. However, I don’t know what method Lin Shu used, but a few of them were still taken away by her. That black-robed man’s trails have also been cut off. That person’s whereabouts are quite strange. Our people were clearly following him, but then he disappeared! My people can’t track him at all.” When Ao Jie thought of how that lunatic Lin Shu was actually collecting babies, he was worried and felt that she was up to no good.
When she heard this, Xu Qing’s expression changed and she suddenly thought of something. “Now that you mention it, I remember something. Last night, Bai Xian returned to the Qiao family’s home. He said that he had found the whereabouts of his senior brother, who had been chased out of the sect. He seemed to be in the palace. Back then, he was chased out of the sect because he was using babies to cultivate evil techniques… Could that black-robed man be Bai Xian’s senior brother, Bai Mu?”
“That makes sense! He actually uses babies to cultivate. What a beast! But are you sure Bai Xian is in the palace? My people can’t catch up to him at all!” When Ao Jie found out that Lin Shu had a subordinate called Bai Mu beside her, he didn’t connect the dots. Lin Shu had asked someone to capture so many babies to provide Bai Mu with cultivation resources so that he could be used by her? Lin Shu was really crazy. So many innocent babies had actually been sent into the hands of a psychopathic old man.
“It’s probably some poison that made them temporarily dizzy. I’ll concoct some preventive medicine for you next time. Give it a try. It might be useful. The sooner you catch Bai Mu, the sooner you can save those innocent babies. By the way, when you catch Bai Mu, send him to the Qiao family. Bai Xian said that he wants to clean up his mentor’s mess.” With that, Xu Qing went back to making medicine.
Ao Jie’s expression was solemn. He wanted to catch him, but that person’s martial arts techniques were very strange, so he might not be able to stop Bai Mu and he would probably escape. His subordinates couldn’t even track that guy, let alone catch him. Moreover, Ao Jie still needed that person to resolve some of the mysteries about him, so he needed to formulate a sound plan for this matter.
