Don't Be Afraid, I'm Not the Devil Leader!

Upon hearing this, Bai Guanlin was overjoyed to the point of tears, "Uncle-in-law, you are truly insightful."

He was yet to make sense of the situation.

He never expected that Jiang Boqing, the aggrieved party, could maintain such rational thinking.

Bai Guanlin instantly filled with admiration for Jiang Boqing.

Jiang Boqing gave a slight nod, his face filled with anger, "This must definitely be Ji Changsheng's scheming plot, don't worry about it. Liner, you wouldn't be foolish enough to make no disguise and throw your own Sound Transmission Talisman outside the Illusory Light lineage's Various Illusions. Much less would you record evidence of your own actions. This is simply absurd. I don't believe, Liner, that you would do such a foolish thing."

Bai Guanlin wanted to hug Jiang Boqing on the spot.

"Uncle-in-law, you've said it wonderfully."

He hadn't yet thought of defending himself in this way.

Indeed, as an elder of the Mystic Temple, his uncle-in-law was someone who had braved through many storms.

There was so much he needed to learn.

Jiang Boqing took Bai Guanlin's enthusiastic response in stride.

"Ji Changsheng is devious and unscrupulous, but now that the Immortal has emerged, Ji Changsheng won't be able to stir up much trouble. Don't worry about it. Let's not create a ripple over this. The score with Ji Changsheng will be settled soon."

"I'll follow your advice," Bai Guanlin promptly replied.

Despite his anger.

Despite his strong urge to make Ji Changsheng face his punishment right now.

At this moment, the image of Jiang Boqing in Bai Guanlin's heart was immensely imposing.

He took Jiang Boqing's words completely to heart.

"Alright, let this matter rest. Everyone may leave. The insignificant plot of this youngster will gain no traction."

Jiang Boqing's words were light and breezy.

Indeed, he was the first to leave.

Watching Jiang Boqing's retreating figure, Bai Guanlin was filled with veneration.

"This is the first time I've realized that my uncle-in-law is so intelligent and insightful," Bai Guanlin murmured to himself.

Looking at Bai Guanlin now, the rest of the Bai family displayed complex expressions.

As for Bai Zonghui, she slumped to the ground, visibly giving in to despair.

"Huh, aunt, what's wrong? Are you crying with joy?"

Bai Zonghui suddenly looked up, her gaze toward Bai Guanlin filled with resentment.

"Bai Guanlin, I have taken good care of you regularly, why do you harm me like this?"

Bai Guanlin was protected by Fairy Linglong, Jiang Boqing didn't dare to touch him.

But she wasn't.

Bai Guanlin was taken aback.

"Aunt, what are you talking about?"

Bai Zonghui didn't expect to get an answer from Bai Guanlin either.

Her emotions had already collapsed. Tear streamed down her face, and she gave off an aura of utter despair.

The rest of Bai family members also sighed one after another.

Bai Guanlin was flabbergasted.

"Why are all of you reacting like this?"

As the Bai family members looked at the confused Bai Guanlin, they too felt desperate inside.

Jiang Boqing made his point clear earlier.

Fairy Linglong had already come out of seclusion.

Therefore, Ji Changsheng must be behind this incident.

Jiang Boqing said that Bai Guanlin would not be foolish enough to stage such a farce on his own.

However, moments before, on the top of the main peak, Bai Guanlin had just blown himself up in the face of all the onlookers.

The reality proved that Bai Guanlin was indeed that foolish.

Jiang Boqing was a party to the incident, and he knew Bai Guanlin was that foolish.

But Jiang Boqing was helpless.

They were all helpless.

No matter what, Bai Guanlin's mother was Fairy Linglong.

The thought of the Bai family's future possibly falling into the hands of such a fool left everyone in despair.

"Let's listen to Boqing, everyone, let's disperse."

At the end of it all, it was Old Madam Bai who made the statement.

She had already been utterly disgraced due to Bai Guanlin's boisterous actions at the main peak.

Finally, with Fairy Linglong speaking out, the situation began to subside.

Once again, a conflict arose within the Bai family.

Old Madam Bai was very weary.

Even at her age, she could not live a peaceful life; she too was filled with despair.

"Zonghui, you...sigh."

Looking at Bai Zonghui, who had slumped to the ground, Old Madam Bai was exasperated.

She had actually liked this adopted daughter of hers.

She was a veritable aide in acquiring wealth, spoke amiably, had high emotional intelligence, could make Old Madam Bai happy, and also has a knack for currying favor with Jiang Boqing, a top official of the Mystic Temple.

But she never expected her to do something so foolish in secret.

Of course, Old Madam Bai realized that Bai Zonghui was likely forced into this.

The principal culprit behind this incident was definitely Bai Guanlin.

Considering Bai Guanlin's background, it was entirely normal for Bai Zonghui, an adopted daughter of Bai family, not to resist him.

However, as long as Fairy Linglong was alive, Bai Guanlin couldn't take the blame.

Therefore, Ji Changsheng had to have done this.

"Get up, and make sure to treat Boqing well in the future," Old Madam Bai said helplessly, "Fairy Linglong still holds sway, he can't treat you badly. It will be okay, time will heal all."

Old Madam Bai wasn't exactly surprised by the turn of events, it was simply tiresome.

There were plenty of things more absurd happening within Bai family.

The corruption and underhand dealings that plagued large clans were numerous.

Compared to those, the secret liaison between Bai Guanlin and Bai Zonghui, who had no blood relation, was hardly worth a mention.

It was only significant because of the unique status of the involved parties.

Such a scandal had to be hushed up.

"Treat Boqing well from now on, try to earn his forgiveness," Old Madam Bai advised.

Bai Guanlin seemed to have three question marks hovering over his forehead, "What on earth are you talking about? My uncle-in-law already believes in the innocence of my aunt and me. Why are you backbiting my uncle-in-law with such ill-intended speculations?"

Old Madam Bai: "..."

If he were her own flesh and blood, she would have beaten him to death with a stick.

Keeping him would bring a curse on their family.

The other Bai family members couldn't be bothered to deal with Bai Guanlin

Shaking their heads, the Bai family members gradually dispersed.

...

Inside the Moon Palace.

Watching the scenes displayed in the Water Mirror Technique he had prepared, Ji Changsheng began to feel slightly sorry for Bai Guanlin.

In Ji Changsheng's opinion, Bai Guanlin wasn't exactly stupid.

A man in his twenties should react like Bai Guanlin.

The others were savvy and experienced, that's why they could keep pace with Ji Changsheng's two-tiered scheme.

But it was only Bai Guanlin who saw through Ji Changsheng's methods.

This is what is known as a fool conquering a master.

What a pity.

At this moment, no one believed Bai Guanlin's words.

"Jiang Boqing has some substance, he even tolerated the blame game."

"No, this is beyond endurance, and I can't stand it for him."

"Boys help boys."

"Isn't it just about killing one's wife to reach enlightenment? Isn't it about betraying Bai family?"

"I will do the things Jiang Boqing dares not to do, and kill the people he dares not kill."

"Jiang Boqing, as a fellow man, this is my staunchest support for you. As a disciple on the righteous path, helping out wherever there is injustice is a moral obligation. You need not be overly courteous!"

In his heart, Ji Changsheng easily formed an alliance with Jiang Boqing.
