Chapter 135 Rissin, who made a huge mistake.
Baili Tuming was teleported away from Baili Jing.
The scene before my eyes vanished in an instant, and then I was outside the house.
He was still stabbed without hesitation by the person he had trusted for so many years...
Baili Tuming lowered his head slightly, looking at his raised hands, and a few barely perceptible tremors flashed across his fingertips.
"...Tu Ming...you're back..."
Outside the door, a woman slowly walked in. When she saw the boy in the courtyard outside, her face showed a slight surprise.
Baili Tuming looked up at the woman, but could no longer hold back his inner torment, and tears streamed down his face.
"mom……"
Do you really know that so-called truth...?
Or are you one of those designers?
In the past, Baili Tuming would have pounced on him at this moment, but now he was somewhat unsure whether the person in front of him truly loved him as much as before.
After all, she had raised Baili Tuming for so many years, and Madam Baili noticed something was wrong from his expression at just one glance.
Inside the room, Lin Qiye, who was already fighting, dodged a hidden blade in mid-air, then spun around and kicked a forbidden artifact user who was attacking him out of the window.
The boy broke through the encirclement and came outside, where he saw Baili Tuming seemingly wanting to say something to the beautiful woman in front of him.
Baili Jing had disappeared to who knows where. Although these forbidden artifact users weren't particularly strong, the endless stream of forbidden artifacts was really annoying.
Lady Baili, standing outside, instinctively shuddered, immediately understanding the current situation.
Her gaze turned complicated for a moment, and her expression stiffened as she looked at Baili Tuming.
"Tu Ming, you knew all along?"
Upon hearing this, Baili Tuming felt a sense of relief, and gave a bitter smile: "...What do you know?"
"Knowing that I've occupied the position of your own son for so many years, is it out of your kindness to give me this opportunity?"
Do you know that you're using me as a shield for your own son?
Or... knowing that I'm about to abdicate and make way for Baili Jing, you're helping him coax me back so that it'll be easier for him to take action against me, making my death the end of everything?"
Madam Baili was taken aback for a moment, but then said matter-of-factly, "...You were originally an orphan...We adopted you, and now...now we're just getting everything back on track..."
She seemed to think she had a conscience, appearing somewhat reluctant: after all, this was a child she had raised for so many years, and had been quite filial to her...
"Since you know everything so clearly, just give it all back to Xiao Jing. You've enjoyed yourself enough over the years."
Lady Baili waved her hand, signaling those who wanted to continue the fight to stop.
"Tu Ming, we've raised you for over a decade, and you've always lived a life of luxury..."
Lin Qiye's hands hung at his sides, the two knives still gripped in his hands, and he didn't even bother to put them away. He suddenly let out a cold laugh:
"So you mean Fatty should be grateful for your kindness and should give his life to repay the favor?"
"The Baili family is truly shameless."
Baili Tuming remained silent, seemingly in a daze and unable to utter a sound.
He didn't know what was going on.
Everything was perfectly fine...
A gentle mother, an excellent younger brother, and a father who, though not close, never mistreated him...
But now, they themselves have become knives, plunging into his own body...
Beside them, at Madam Baili's prompting, the steward who came over also adopted the same condescending attitude, believing they had already done more than enough in their charity:
"My esteemed guest, you may not know this, but Baili Tuming was originally just an ordinary child adopted by the Baili family. The true heir is Young Master Baili Jing."
The Baili family has raised him for so many years without asking for anything in return. Now they're simply asking him to return what doesn't belong to him and the status he once held. How can that be called 'shameless'?
The butler, still feeling it wasn't enough, continued, his eyes filled with admiration, as he spoke of his own opinion—
"Young Master Baili Jing has always been the best, whether in his childhood or now, and he will become an even better Night Watchman in the future."
He glanced at Baili Tuming, who remained silent. Although he possessed basic manners as a butler, they were few and far between, and Lin Qiye could see the mockery in his eyes at a glance.
"...As for this adopted young master..."
The butler smiled.
"As the representative of the gods, you must know this better than anyone else, right?"
"Without the forbidden items and status bestowed upon him by the Baili family, he wouldn't even have the chance to stand before you; he would simply be one of the masses..."
"All right……"
The butler's words were cut off by a single sentence from the person behind him.
Baili Tuming's shoulders trembled slightly upon hearing this voice.
Lin Qiye also looked over—
The middle-aged man who walked in was none other than Baili Xin, the current head of the Baili family.
Behind him was Baili Jing, who had clearly gone to call people here.
"Butler, you have overstepped your bounds."
Baili Xin glanced indifferently at the butler who had suddenly lowered his head, but the next second when he turned to look at Lin Qiye, he wore a natural, standard smile:
"Welcome, Divine Agent, Lin Qiye."
He glanced at Lin Qiye's side as if he had noticed something, raising an eyebrow slightly.
"Hasn't the other representative of the god come?"
Lin Qiye felt extremely disgusted by the man's professional fake smile.
明明同样都爱职业假笑，为什么鹿于笑的就那么自然，顶多有时候有点欠揍，而这个人的笑却让林七夜如同被毒蛇附身。
"...She's busy."
The boy took a step back, calmly raised the knife in his hand, and stood in front of him and the fat man.
not coming?
That's wonderful...
If that girl comes, things won't be as simple as just Lin Qiye's situation...
They intended to kill Baili Tuming, but instead used a bomb, precisely because of the troublesome Divine Ruins of Lu Yu, even though Ye Fan always gave vague answers when questioned by higher-ups about the specifics of Lu Yu.
However, some people have guessed that the divine ruins bestowed upon Luyu by the goddess Nuwa must be related to life.
If Lu Yu were here, they would really fight, and it's not certain that the Baili family would win.
Bai Lixin had a grand plan in mind, but he never expected that Lu Yu's Divine Ruins were a resurrection.
They never imagined that even if Baili Tuming really died, they had connections in the underworld, enough to allow Baili Tuming to wait for Lu Yu to come and save him again.

“...I will exchange an extremely dangerous forbidden item for Captain Lin’s permission to stop interfering in the Baili family’s affairs.”
Baili Xin's voice had a familiar quality, almost identical to Baili Jing's, but his eyes seemed particularly serious.
The person behind him walked over, picked up a wooden box, and opened the lid.
A snow-white longsword lay steadily in the center of the black wooden box.
The knife is about the same length as a straight sword, but the blade is thinner than a regular straight sword. Under the glow of the night sky, the blade has a faint reddish sheen, giving it an eerie and unsettling feel.
"This is the forbidden item I chose for Captain Lin—[Slaying White]."
Baili Xin smiled and lightly touched the wooden box, his expression unreadable.
"It comes with the extremely high-risk forbidden artifact [White Slash] of Sequence 061, which is also one of my twelve treasured artifacts. It can ignore distance and space and cause damage to any object within a range of one kilometer. With one swing of the blade, all things are beheaded."
"Isn't this the most suitable knife for Captain Lin?"
Baili Xin seemed to have thought of something, smiled, and looked at Lin Qiye with a meaningful gaze:
"I remember that Captain Lin's teammate, that Nuwa's agent, Lu Yu, was actually slightly stronger than Captain Lin... She also seemed to have some kind of spatial defensive ability, right?"
"Don't worry! This knife is enough to cut through any defense."
"Well, Captain Lin, oh no, Lin Qiye, in our deal, I've been so sincere. You must know the status and strength of the Baili family. Wouldn't it be better if we both compromised and everyone was happy?"
The killing intent in Lin Qiye's eyes was about to overflow.
Suddenly, Baili Tuming felt less sad, replaced by a surge of anger and resentment.
"Father...no, Patriarch Baili, if you want to kill me, just say so! Why do you want Qiye to deal with Lu Yu!"
Lin Qiye had no intention of letting Baili Jing go in the first place.
Now that Baili Xin has set his sights on Lu Yu to sow discord, Baili Tuming already knows that this is definitely not going to end "simply"...
