Volume 1: Questioning the Past Chapter 23 Nephew
"Who are you? Could you be Master Bai's child?"
Gu Xiaoxing muttered to himself, but he also knew that this was impossible, because Master Bai had no Taoist partner, let alone children. Everyone knew this, but then he thought, "Could it be an illegitimate child? It doesn't look like one!"
The commotion here has alarmed the chefs in the kitchen. They temporarily put down their work and hurried out with complicated expressions on their faces. Only Big Fatty had more dealings with Gu Xiaoxing, and because of their friendship, they squeezed their small eyes towards Gu Xiaoxing, as if they were conveying something.
Can not Understand it!
Gu Xiaoxing blinked, but the next moment he seemed to think of something, his eyes suddenly widened in shock.
The young man surnamed Bai seemed quite satisfied with the other party's expression. He poured himself another glass and drank it slowly.
"Are you... Master Bai's nephew?" Gu Xiaoxing suddenly said nervously, thinking in his heart that something was wrong, the real boss had come to find him!
puff!
But as soon as Gu Xiaoxing opened his mouth, the young man surnamed Bai choked on the wine and spit it out. Even the disciples and fat men standing nearby looked strange.
The young man surnamed Bai coughed several times before he recovered and said angrily, "How dare you! That's my father!"
Gu Xiaoxing was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood in an instant that this man surnamed Bai was not Master Bai’s nephew, but his father!
"So... based on seniority, he has to call me uncle?" When Gu Xiaoxing thought so, his original nervousness and guilty feeling suddenly disappeared. Instead, he looked at the other person with a strange look.
Bai Xiangtian felt that this look made him extremely disgusted. He immediately laughed in anger and snorted, "Brother Gu, you are so bold! Back then, my uncle pitied you and didn't want to see you die in the wilderness, so he introduced you to the sect. I didn't expect that you would not only not be grateful, but also pretend to be a relative of the sect's great elder and use his name to make personal gains for you. Do you admit this crime?"
Gu Xiaoxing suddenly looked puzzled and said, "Master Bai brought me into the sect and saved my life, so I am naturally grateful. As for what you said about pretending to be the Great Elder's relative, how can that be justified? When Master Bai saved me, I already regarded him as my second parent. Is it okay for me to call him Uncle Bai?"
"You called him Uncle Bai too?"
Bai Xiangtian was furious, and a powerful aura emanated from him. He slammed his hand on the table, and the stone table instantly broke into pieces. At this moment, his mood was just like the broken stone table, and he was about to explode with anger. For this outer sect competition, he practiced hard for several months and finally broke through to the eighth level of Qi Condensation. After coming out of retreat, he wanted to show off, but he accidentally heard about "Master Bai's nephew", which immediately stunned Bai Xiangtian. Where did Master Bai have any nephews except his father's nephew?
After some careful inquiries, he found out that he, Bai Xiangtian, had inexplicably gained an uncle during the months of seclusion. It would be fine if Master Bai admitted it himself, but after a thorough investigation, he found that it was most likely fabricated by Gu Xiaoxing. This made him angry. He could not tolerate the fact that he was made a generation shorter than someone else for no reason, and this person was just an unknown outer disciple.
Gu Xiaoxing felt the power emanating from the other party, which was almost the same as Du Siyu's, and immediately felt like retreating.
"A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. Humph! How dare a junior be so arrogant? I will definitely get back at him in the future!" As he thought this in his mind, his expression suddenly changed and he shouted, "Brother Sanpang, stop it!"
"Are there any accomplices?" Bai Xiangtian sneered, not panicking. He turned around calmly, only to find that the fat chef standing beside him had a dazed look on his face. There was no sign of him making a sneak attack. When he looked at Gu Xiaoxing again with doubt, he immediately became furious, "Want to escape? Dream on!"
Gu Xiaoxing took a few steps and reached the gate of the courtyard. Suddenly, he felt a strong suction from behind. His body paused, and he was pulled back. Looking back, he was shocked to find that Bai Xiangtian was making a hand gesture, and a golden bag was floating above his head. The suction came from the bag.
In shock, Gu Xiaoxing gritted his teeth and took a quick step forward, even using the explosive power of the Fang Cun Step, and took out his long sword to press against the ground, only then did he manage to stabilize his body.
"You are given two choices. Hand over all the spiritual stones you embezzled to me for disposal. Considering your previous meritorious service to the sect, I will not punish you for the time being. You can be my servant boy and serve me as a slave. You can make meritorious service while serving your crime." Bai Xiangtian looked at him with contempt, and then his eyes turned cold. "Or, I will directly take you with my Qiankun Bag and hand you over to the Law Enforcement Hall to deal with you according to the sect's rules!"
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoxing was also angry. This nephew not only wanted to take his spirit stone, but also wanted to take him as a servant. He immediately lost his temper and said, "Uncle Bai didn't say anything. What qualifications do you have to punish me? You don't distinguish between the superior and the inferior. How dare you, a junior, be so arrogant? Do you know... according to seniority, you still have to call me uncle."
"You are looking for death!" A gleam of hatred flashed in Bai Xiangtian's eyes. He suddenly concentrated his mind and the Qiankun bag above his head emitted a golden light.
Gu Xiaoxing only felt that the suction force suddenly increased, but he was not afraid. The spiritual power in his body surged together with the green smoke to resist. At the same time, he slightly raised his finger, and suddenly an object flew out of the storage bag. It was the big fish hook. Under the control of the Yuling Finger, the fish hook flew in a strange arc and went straight towards Bai Xiangtian.
"It's just a trifle." Bai Xiangtian said lightly, raised his hand and easily caught the hook, and immediately sneered, "How vulgar, to treat such a vulgar thing as...ah!"
Before he could finish his words, Bai Xiangtian suddenly screamed and stepped back, looking at his hand which was pierced with a dozen blood holes, his eyes were filled with inexplicable horror. If he had not reacted quickly and realized something was wrong, and let go of his hand instantly, there would not have been a dozen blood holes, but a dozen transparent holes. The other party actually had such a sinister magic weapon.
"Despicable villain!" Bai Xiangtian looked at him coldly, hatred in his eyes became stronger, and even murderous intent flashed in his mind for the first time. With a wave of his hand, he took back the Qiankun bag that fell on the ground. He was ready to take real action.
The big fishhook covered with countless barbs was also taken back into Gu Xiaoxing's hand, and it turned back into a plain and smooth big hook. After more than a month of tinkering with it, he discovered that after refining the big fishhook, he could also control the barbs with his spiritual consciousness. The senior who had refined this treasure was truly a genius.
But there was no time to think about it, as the temperature around him suddenly rose sharply. Looking closely, he saw that Bai Xiangtian's aura suddenly increased and he was burning. He stood in the fire and suddenly pointed out with one finger.
Gu Xiaoxing's scalp suddenly went numb, and a great sense of crisis arose in his heart. Without thinking, he threw out a talisman, which turned into a bolt of lightning and hit the finger directly, while he turned around and ran away.
boom!
The entire kitchen compound seemed to be shaken, with a loud roar, and a figure emerged from the billowing smoke.
"Lightning Talisman!"
Bai Xiangtian's eyes were extremely gloomy, and he almost gritted his teeth as he uttered these three words. Although he was not injured, his white clothes were torn to pieces by the lightning, and he looked in a miserable state.
Several people around were also stunned. They didn't expect things to go this far. Internal fighting was forbidden in the sect, but these two people just started fighting and made such a big noise. The people in the kitchen were more shocked. They knew Gu Xiaoxing very well. He had only been in the sect for two months, but he already had such strength.
However, before Gu Xiaoxing escaped far and Bai Xiangtian was about to give chase, a terrifying divine sense descended, and both of them paused at the same time, unable to move at all.
"You two bastards, are you bored? You dare to fight openly and privately, and you are worried that you have no place to vent your anger. Good, you are doing great!"
A cursing voice exploded in their minds, seeming extremely angry. Then, Gu Xiaoxing suddenly felt a suction force several times stronger than the Qiankun bag just now, which directly pulled him away. He soon returned to the inner kitchen courtyard again and stood with Bai Xiangtian, looking at each other eagerly.
At this time, another figure descended from the sky. When Gu Xiaoxing saw it, he was immediately frightened and his legs went limp. If he had not been imprisoned at the moment, he would have fallen down, because the person who came was none other than the fifth elder with the alchemy furnace on his head.
Even Bai Xiangtian's heart was twitching at this moment, with panic and fear flashing in his eyes. He cried out that something was wrong. In the Soul-Devouring Sect, everyone knew the vicious reputation of the Fifth Elder. Which disciple who fell into his hands would have a good ending?
The fifth elder glanced at them coldly. If it were normal times, he would definitely put these two people into the alchemy furnace and refine them thoroughly as a warning to ensure that they would not dare to make the same mistake again next time. As for Bai Xiangtian, he recognized him, but so what if he was the nephew of Master Bai? He had to be punished for making mistakes.
However, the Fifth Elder was too upset at this moment and didn't want to pay attention to these trivial matters. He wanted to withdraw his spiritual sense and just reprimand the thief. He now only wanted to concentrate on catching the fish thief.
But the next moment, the Fifth Elder's gaze was focused on Gu Xiaoxing's hand, where there was a big fish hook. Suddenly, the Fifth Elder felt his anger surge up, increasing several times.
My spirit fish was lost, and the thief was not caught. How dare you dangle such a big fishhook in front of me?
Isn't this going too far?
Even though he knew it might be a coincidence, he couldn't stop the anger rising up and he actually laughed out of anger. However, that smile was extremely cold. Both Gu Xiaoxing and Bai Xiangtian were frightened and their faces turned pale.
