What to do if you receive the wrong package?

Su Huaiqi carefully examined Bai Heming in front of her. He didn't seem to be as handsome and elegant as Gu Yan had described.

He couldn't help but turn around to confirm, "Ayan, do you have some kind of romanticized view of your older brother?"

Gu Yan was also dumbfounded, but he immediately realized that Bai Heming in front of him was an imposter.

"This greyhound is not my older brother. Seriously, if you're going to hire someone to impersonate him, you can't find someone who looks close to the real person."

Gu Yan was a little annoyed. He couldn't find Li Hengzhi, and his own elder brother had been replaced. Where did the real Bai Heming go?

Shen Mujin, who was standing to the side, hadn't expected this move either, and silently complained, "Qiqi, how come your 'switching the prince' is contagious?!"

However, after a cursory observation, it seemed that no one in the entire hall, except for their group, had noticed that the white crane in front of them was fake.

"Ayan, does your older brother not frequent the martial arts world much? How come it seems like no one else has realized they've been scammed?"

"I don't know either." Gu Yan spread his hands helplessly. "When I transmigrated, my older brother was often at home, but I don't know what happened before that."

Listening to the three girls' hushed discussion, Yu Zechuan understood that the "White Crane Cry" in front of him was not real, but he could not reveal it at the moment, lest he alert the enemy.

"Don't rush, listen first," Yu Zechuan whispered a reminder.

Gu Yan frowned, staring intently at "Bai Heming" in front of her. She wanted to see what this person had to say.

Under everyone's gaze, "Bai Heming" did not panic, but instead politely cupped his hands in greeting.

"I am Bai Heming again, and I greet you all."

"These past few days, Heming has also heard some legends about the Seven Star Stones in Kunlun Ruins. I never expected that they would be related to me. I am truly flattered."

"Young Master Bai, is the Jade Balance Stone in your possession?" Although it was unclear who asked the question, everyone wanted to hear the answer.

Bai Heming smiled slightly, "The Jade Balance Stone is not currently in my possession."

"Sigh, all that excitement for nothing."

"That's right, without any clues about the Jade Balance Stone, it's all just empty talk."

Bai Heming showed no displeasure at the noisy crowd. Instead, he quickly exchanged a glance with the Fourth Elder when no one was looking, and then looked away.

Fourth Elder: "Young Master Bai, you just said that the Jade Balance Stone is not in your possession now. Could it be that the Jade Balance Stone was in your possession before?"

The Fourth Elder's question stirred up a storm once again, and "Bai Heming" nodded to the Fourth Elder.

"The Fourth Elder is right. I did indeed obtain a completely black stone by chance in Qixia Mountain. However..." Bai Heming hesitated for a moment before stopping.

"But what? Young Master Bai, please tell me quickly."

"Yes, Young Master Bai, there's no need to keep us in suspense now."

"However, the Jade Balance Stone has now been taken by my half-sister."

As soon as Bai Heming finished speaking, three gazes instantly focused on Gu Yan. Shen Mujin nudged Gu Yan with her shoulder and said with a smile, "Not bad, Ayan, quickly hand over the Jade Balance Stone."

Gu Yan was completely dumbfounded. Listen to this nonsense! How did she manage to take the Jade Balance Stone without her even knowing?

Gu Yan manually turned Su Huaiqi's head back, "Stop turning your head, hurry up and keep listening."

"White Crane Cry" frowned slightly, seemingly lost in some memory, his expression somewhat somber. After a long while, he said with a wry smile:

"As you all may not know, our Bai family mansion was captured long ago due to rumors of Wuzhou. Only my half-sister and I escaped. After escaping, we relied on each other for survival. After obtaining the Jade Balance Stone at Qixia Mountain, my half-sister and I were pursued. My half-sister, a mere woman, was no match for those bandits. I was severely injured while saving her and eventually fainted. But..."

At this point, Bai Heming sighed heavily, his tone filled with disbelief. "But when I woke up, I found that Yuhengshi and my half-sister were gone. I thought that my half-sister and Yuhengshi had been captured by the enemy, so I immediately went to look for them. But I found that the enemy was still holding me tightly, so it can only mean that... Yuhengshi was taken by my half-sister."

"My fellow heroes, you are all men of great loyalty and righteousness, and you should be able to understand the pain I feel at being betrayed by my own family. If any hero can find my half-sister, then the Jade Balance Stone she possesses will belong to that hero!"

"Does Young Master Bai keep his word?"

"Young Master Bai, what's your half-sister's name? What does she look like?"

"Young Master Bai, rest assured, our sect values ​​loyalty and righteousness above all else, and we guarantee to find your half-sister."

"... "

Gu Yan, who was sitting at the back table, was absolutely furious at the story that "Bai Heming" had made up!

When people sit at home, disaster comes from heaven.

If she hadn't actually not possessed any so-called Jade Balance Stone, she would have been moved by the sorrow on the face of the person before her.

Fortunately, she wasn't the half-sister in the story; otherwise, she probably would have tried to kill the unconscious "Bai Heming" before fleeing with the stone, so that he wouldn't keep spreading rumors after waking up.

Shen Mujin even made a fist and held it to Gu Yan's mouth to act as a microphone.

"Could you tell me what it's like to be forced to play the villainous female lead?"

"I wanted to kill him for the experience."

Su Huaiqi suppressed his laughter and pretended to dissuade him, saying, "Ayan, don't be impulsive. After all, killing your brother is a serious crime that will get you arrested and imprisoned."

Yu Zechuan's expression changed slightly. After a moment of contemplation, he asked, "Miss Bai, may I ask how many half-sisters your elder brother has?"

"Besides me, there are two others, but we don't know if they're alive or dead yet." Although Gu Yan didn't understand the meaning behind Yu Zechuan's question, he still obediently answered.

"Young Master, you don't believe that person's lies either, do you?" Su Huaiqi asked nervously from the side.

Yu Zechuan shook his head. "All of you here have some influence in the martial arts world. It won't take long for you to find out who Bai Heming's half-sister is. I'm afraid we can't stay in Kunlun Ruins any longer."

Su Huaiqi was puzzled. "Why? Isn't it said that the more dangerous the place, the safer it is? They certainly wouldn't expect that Bai Heming's half-sister is sitting right under their noses."

"Because of Sheng Sheng, don't forget that Sheng Sheng is still in Xuanzhou. If they can find A Yan, they can definitely find Sheng Sheng too." Shen Mujin didn't expect this trip to Kunlun Ruins to be so dangerous.

But if they hadn't come this time, they would probably still be completely unaware of the danger and be happily laughing all day long.

A wave of fear washed over her. Shen Mujin gripped the small bone whistle around her neck tightly, as if trying to find some sense of security in it. She couldn't help but hope that Xuan Yi would return soon.

Whether Bai Heming was deliberately creating suspense or out of compassion, he ultimately did not reveal his half-sister's name, thus giving Gu Yan a chance to catch his breath.

Even more fortunately, Bai Yanhuai had previously been very self-conscious because of her stutter and had hardly ever left the Bai residence. Furthermore, due to her lack of favor, she had few personal attendants. In addition, after Gu Yan arrived, she underwent training and had her hair cut, resulting in a significant change in her appearance. Almost no one could recognize her as Bai Yanhuai at a glance.

"Everyone, I have told you the truth about the secret of the Seven Star Stone that Young Master Bai possessed. Please consider our Kunlun Ruins' past conduct and save our sect leader's life. I thank you in advance!" The Fourth Elder earnestly raised his hand and clasped his hands in thanks to those around him.

"Fourth Elder, you are too kind. Since your sect is willing to share the secrets of the Seven Star Stone, our sect will certainly offer precious medicinal herbs in return."

"Yes, Sect Leader Qin and we are usually very close. Now that Sect Leader Qin is on the verge of death, how can we sit idly by?"

Suddenly, a sharp and abrupt sound rang out.

"Young Master Bai and Kunlun Ruins are old friends, and he is currently staying here. I'm afraid Kunlun Ruins already knew about this and sent people to look for Miss Bai in advance."

The speaker was a short, middle-aged man with small eyes that were full of calculating glints.

"What is this?" Su Huaiqi turned his head and asked.

“The third leader of the Canghai Gang,” Yu Zechuan introduced softly. “This man is ruthless and vindictive. Try to stay away from him if you see him.”

Su Huaiqi and the others nodded quickly, especially Gu Yan. Upon hearing about the Canghai Gang, he immediately recalled an incident of abducting a woman on the streets of Wuzhou, instigated by the fifth leader of the Canghai Gang.

If Jiang Si hadn't appeared in time and stopped it, that girl's life would have been ruined.

Thinking of Jiang Si, Gu Yan's anger, which he had managed to suppress, flared up again.

I didn't get to see Brother Li, and my own brother was replaced. Jiang Si is even more outrageous; he actually pretended not to know me.

Hmph, as expected, no man is any good.

"Elder Jia is overthinking it. Kunlun Ruins only learned about these things from Young Master Bai just now. Everyone can rest assured that Kunlun Ruins would value this information in exchange for life-saving treasures. Apart from those of you present, no one else in the martial world knows about this."

Jia Yi, the third leader of the Canghai Gang, let out a cold snort, but fearing that his words would once again become a stepping stone for Kunlun Ruins, he simply remained silent.

"You have all traveled a long way to visit my sect and listened to me speak for quite some time. You must be quite tired. Why don't we move to Lingyun Pavilion? I will offer you a small cup of wine as a token of my respect."

Guided by the disciples, the people in the main hall walked towards Lingyun Pavilion in small groups.

To facilitate communication, Gu Yan and the other three deliberately walked at the back.

As Yu Zechuan walked, he asked, "Miss Ayan, just in case, I'll address you as such for now. Who knows what happened after you and your elder brother left the Bai residence? Are these people all trustworthy?"

Gu Yan nodded without hesitation. "They are all trustworthy people."

Needless to say, Mu Mu and Xuan Yi were also people who would never casually reveal what had happened to them.

“Back then, almost everyone in Wuzhou knew about the Bai family’s occupation, and the strange phenomena that appeared on Qixia Mountain were also witnessed by all. I think this fake person just combined the two special events and then fabricated some details at random.” Shen Mujin thought about what the fake “Bai Heming” had said and felt more and more that he didn’t actually know what really happened to the real Bai Heming.

Yu Zechuan nodded. "If what Miss Shen said is true, I'm afraid this fake Young Master Bai doesn't know who Bai Heming's half-sisters are, which is why he's been avoiding the important details and hasn't revealed their names."

"Is it possible that the imposter wasn't actually referring to a specific person, but that we just instinctively identified with Ayan?"

“Qiqi’s words make sense. He’s pinning the Jade Balance Stone on his half-sister, making everyone think it’s someone else. But in the end, one gang might catch one, another gang might catch one, and who’s the real one and who’s the fake one. It could really stir up trouble in the entire martial arts world.” Shen Mujin immediately understood what Su Huaiqi meant. After thinking about it along with her thoughts, she felt a chill run down her spine.

"That doesn't make sense. We sisters from the Bai family have no grudge against him, so why would he want to drag us into this mess?" Gu Yan couldn't figure it out and asked directly.

Upon hearing the question, the three fell silent. This was also their biggest question at the moment.

"Forget it, there's always a way out. Let's take it one step at a time." Gu Yan was already aware of his unlucky streak, and becoming the target of everyone's criticism this time was normal.
