Fire Captain

Bai Ziyang first detoxified Qian Kui, then revived Zhu Yuchan, and then said to the two who had survived the disaster, "Han Jie is still on the cliff, and revenge has become his obsession. If he knew that you two are still alive, I'm afraid he would not give up. Why don't you two take shelter for a while? Besides, Master Qian is seriously injured, so it's a good opportunity to find a secluded place to recover first..."

Zhu Yuchan and Qian Kui looked at each other and agreed with Bai Ziyang's opinion. At this moment, they didn't want anything else but to be together quietly. Being alive was already their biggest surprise!

After watching Qian Kui and his wife supporting each other and leaving, Bai Ziyang walked to the place where they had jumped off the cliff before. He used his internal energy and jumped onto the cliff in a few steps. After reaching the cliff, he comforted Han Dieyi who was crying for him.

Han Dieyi was just panicked for a moment about what happened before. After calming down, out of trust in Bai Ziyang, he was not so panicked anymore.

Bai Ziyang comforted Han Dieyi and sent away the light bulb Qian Chong, leaving only the unconscious Han Jie. He said with a guilty look on his face: "Dieyi... Master Qian and Aunt Zhu are not dead... They are already... gone..."

Han Dieyi was silent for a moment, then said, "It's just as I thought..."

Bai Ziyang has done many things, but this is the only thing he doesn't know if he did right or wrong. Does Qian Kui deserve to die? For Han Jie, he should die... But for Zhu Yuchan, it seems that she hopes he can live. The grievances between the three of them are so deep that it is impossible to explain them clearly. Even if a good woman does not marry two husbands, Zhu Yuchan has given birth to a child with Qian Kui and raised him to such a big age. Can she still push Qian Xun back?

But Zhu Yuchan chose Qian Kui at this time, and seemed to have abandoned Han Dieyi and his daughter again. Bai Ziyang was afraid that Han Dieyi would be sad, but what he didn't know was that Zhu Yuchan was only slightly better than a stranger to Han Dieyi. They had been dependent on each other for so many years and had long been accustomed to it. Zhu Yuchan's importance in her heart was not even half as much as Bai Ziyang's... If she was gone, she was gone...

Bai Ziyang scratched the back of his head and asked, "Then...how do I explain this to my father-in-law?"

Han Dieyi glanced at Bai Ziyang with a half-smile and said, "What do you think?"

Bai Ziyang hesitated and said, "Why not just say that they are both dead? This will save my father-in-law from thinking about them..."

Han Dieyi nodded and sighed: "Okay..."

Bai Ziyang and Han Dieyi made a fake grave for Qian Kui and Zhu Yuchan while Han Jie was still asleep. After Han Jie woke up, he really believed it. He was overjoyed to have achieved his long-cherished wish, but what followed was the endless emptiness after losing his spiritual goal...

Bai Ziyang and Han Dieyi brought the dazed Han Jie back home. Seeing that he refused to eat or drink, they were very worried. But even if they wanted to help him, they didn't know where to start. They could only rely on Han Jie to figure it out on his own.

The next day, when Han Dieyi brought breakfast to Han Jie, he pushed open the door and saw an empty room with an envelope on the table in the middle...

Han Dieyi took the letter to Bai Ziyang and they opened it together. In the letter, Han Jie said that his revenge had been achieved. Now he just wanted to find a place to be alone and quiet. He told them not to look for him. He would leave his daughter to Bai Ziyang. He was relieved. However, if he knew that Bai Ziyang was not good to his daughter, he would not let him go even if he became a ghost...

Bai Ziyang looked at the letter that threatened him at the end with a smile. He took Han Dieyi into his arms and comforted him, "It's better to let him be alone. Maybe one day he will figure it out and come back by himself!"

In the days that followed, when Bai Ziyang was living a happy life, he was sitting behind the counter of a restaurant doing the bills. When he looked up, he unexpectedly saw Old Lady Xun walking on the street in a daze, leaning on a cane. Although the alley was quiet and deserted at this time, where was the sedan chair... ?

Bai Ziyang thought for a moment and then walked up to Lady Xun and said, "Greetings to Lady Xun!"

Old Lady Xun was brought back to consciousness by Bai Ziyang. She looked up and said in a daze, "It's Ziyang. I haven't seen you for a long time..."

Bai Ziyang said, "I had intended to come to congratulate Brother Rizhao on his wedding day some time ago, but I didn't expect that today would be my junior's blessing. Since the old lady is at the door, why don't you come in and have a seat!"

Old Lady Xun was frowning because of the matter of the Eight Diagrams. She was supported by Bai Ziyang to the inner hall. After a cup of hot tea was stuffed into her hand, she slowly regained her composure.

Seeing that Madam Xun seemed to be much better, Bai Ziyang asked, "May I ask if you have encountered any difficulties? Is there anything I can do for you? ... I hope you will not blame me for my rudeness!"

Lady Xun shook her head and said, "The Xun family has been struck by a sudden disaster... At this point, life and death are no longer a big deal... Living may not be easier than dying..."

Bai Ziyang probably knew what Madam Xun was referring to, but since Madam Xun didn't want to say it clearly, he didn't ask any more questions. He took out an exquisite porcelain bottle, put it in Madam Xun's hand and said, "Old Madam, although I don't know what happened specifically, but when I heard Madam Xun's words that it was either life or death, I knew it was dangerous. In this porcelain bottle is a Turtle Breathing Pill I made. After taking it, the whole person will be like a dead person within twelve hours. No one can see the flaws. When the time is up, you will wake up on your own... If things really come to a last resort... Take this medicine, and send someone to notify me when the time comes..."

Xun Taijun didn't know what she was thinking about. After a moment of silence, she accepted the medicine... Bai Ziyang just hoped that this day wouldn't come too soon... He hadn't had enough of his time yet...

Unfortunately, God probably didn't hear his voice. That night, flames shot up into the sky from the hill behind General Jingguo's mansion. The fire seemed to light up the sky, and Bai Ziyang could see it even in the store.

When Bai Ziyang arrived at the General Jingguo's residence the next day, the servants had already dispersed. The hall was covered with white cloth and decorated like a mourning hall. A coffin was placed in the middle. No one was worshipping on either side. Only Liangchen and Meijing were kneeling beside and burning paper. After seeing Bai Ziyang, Liangchen said, "Mr. Bai, you are here. The old lady told us sisters to look for you. We wanted to go after dark..."

Bai Ziyang nodded and said, "What happened to the fire yesterday?"

Liangchen and Meijing looked at each other and said, "They said that Master Rizhao was in the stone house in the back mountain, so Gao Lishi ordered the back mountain to be set on fire."

Bai Ziyang understood, found a place to sit down and waited for dark.

After night fell, Bai Ziyang carried Lady Xun out of the coffin and said to Liangchen Meijing and the others, "You bury the coffin tomorrow and come back to this address to find me." After that, he carried Lady Xun on his back and left the General Jingguo's Mansion under the cover of night.
