After the fire in Phoenix 30 years ago, many originally conservative family businesses of the Bai family were hit hard.

Compared with the suggestion of "rebuild in situ" by the conservatives in the family, the old head of the Bai family at that time, who is now the father of Bai Weize, the president of the Bai Group, finally decided to move the headquarters of the Bai family to Jinxiu City, and started a series of Development of innovative industries.

In the eyes of those old people at that time, such a move was undoubtedly very stupid.

After the Bai Group's situation went up all the way, the old Patriarch entrusted the positions of President and Patriarch to his third son Bai Weize.

Regarding this, no one in the family objected, because among the four excellent sons of the old patriarch, only Bai Weize showed business talent and was interested in taking over the Bai Group.

After Bai Weize became the president of the Bai Group, the entire Bai Group became a giant business ship with the background of the Bai family and Bai Weize's business talent.If the eldest young master of the Bai family hadn't passed away in a mysterious car accident seven years ago, perhaps the family would not have suffered from any haze at all.

On this day, not long after Xuan Feng called the elders of the Mo family, Bai Weize, the president of the Bai family, received a call from within the family, saying that it was the old patriarch who had retired for a long time, that is, Bai Weize's father I want to see my son and daughter-in-law immediately, as well as my new grandson.

"Father." President Bai and Mrs. Bai, who was holding the baby, walked into the old Patriarch's study all the way, "What can you do with us?"

The spirit of the old Patriarch didn't look very good, but after seeing his proud son and cute grandson, he still smiled.

After teasing little Bai Chen, the old Patriarch asked President Bai and Mrs. Bai to sit down, took the teacups that Mrs. Bai brought over, and after a few minutes of silence, asked quietly: "The last time there was a phoenix phantom on Phoenix Mountain again. , you all know, right?"

"Yes." Facing the father who had always been dignified in his mind, President Bai, who was in his forties, seemed to have turned back into a child, and listened seriously.

"Then do you still remember why the phantom of the Phoenix first appeared on the top of Phoenix Mountain?" The old Patriarch continued to ask after taking a sip of tea.

"Remember, even though I was just a child at the time, that scene was really unforgettable." Bai Weize said, and looked at the old Patriarch with some doubts, "But father, you never mentioned that incident since then. So, although I haven't forgotten the Phoenix Phantom, I still don't know what happened at that time."

"You are the head of the Bai family now, so there are some things you must know." The old head said with a long sigh, "It stands to reason that every generation of the Bai family will give birth to a child with special power, because this kind of Power is inherited by blood, and it can drive powerful flames, so the Bai family and the outside world use 'phoenix blood' to describe this powerful power."

"However, the strange thing is that Wei Ze's generation did not have the blood of the phoenix. The children are just ordinary people without any power." on one page.

The photo on that page belonged to a young man with an elegant appearance, but both the photo and the clothes looked old now.

Even so, President Bai, who had seen this young man with his own eyes, could still recall this young man's natural beauty and stunning talent.

"This is the last phoenix bloodline of our Bai family, and it may be the last phoenix bloodline." The old Patriarch gently stroked the photo with his hand, "It is also your uncle, my younger brother, Baihuang."

"Weize, no one in your generation has awakened the phoenix bloodline. Maybe it's because of this child's fate." After Patriarch Bai finished speaking, he began to tell President Bai and Mrs. Bai about his youngest brother, Bai, who had awakened the phoenix bloodline in the Bai family. Phoenix's story.

More than 30 years ago, Bai Huang could be said to be the treasure held in the hands of everyone in the Bai family. Not only did she show amazing intelligence since she was a child, but her appearance and demeanor were unmatched among her peers.

Even though the phoenix bloodline has always only appeared in women, it may be because Baihuang is so outstanding, so from the very beginning...everyone in the Bai family believed that this wonderful young man could awaken the phoenix bloodline.

In the end, Bai Huang did not live up to everyone's expectations. At the age of 16, he awakened the power of blood together with Mo Xuanji of the Mo family.

The phoenix blood of the Bai family has a powerful fire ability and other unimaginable powers.

The profound dragon blood of the Mo family can even freeze the entire river when the ice ability is brought into full play.

Each generation of Phoenix bloodlines and Xuanlong bloodlines are related to unmarried couples. This is an agreement handed down from generation to generation by the ancestors of the Bai family and the Mohist family.

So when the blood power of Baihuang and Mo Xuanji both awakened, although the two families felt a little embarrassed because they were of the same gender, they finally made an appointment together at the Bai family's villa on the top of Phoenix Mountain so that the two children could meet.

Back then, Bai Huang was proud of her own strength and her eyes were higher than her head, so she didn't even look down on Mo Xuanji who awakened the blood of the profound dragon before setting off.

But when the two met, the situation was beyond everyone's expectations.

Mo Xuanji was tricked by his family to the top of Phoenix Mountain. He originally thought that his fiancée was an extremely outstanding woman, but he didn't expect that the other party was a man of his own age. No matter how good-looking she was, it was not acceptable to Mo Xuanji. type.

So during the whole meeting, Mo Xuanji appeared indifferent and distant.

Contrary to Mo Xuanji, Bai Huang, who was originally proud and arrogant, fell in love with this cold fiancé the moment he saw him.

Bai Huang tried her best to get close to Mo Xuanji, kept lowering her posture, and even tried her best to summon the phantom of the Phoenix to win Mo Xuanji's favor under circumstances that everyone could hardly imagine.

Because of this, when Bai Huang knew that Mo Xuanji wanted to reject the engagement as soon as he returned to the Mo family, he became dazed.

Even though he knew that Mo Xuanji didn't want to see him, Bai Huang still ignored the blockage of the Bai family and directly lived in the Mo family, trying to get as close to Mo Xuanji as possible, and even serving Mo Xuanji's daily life like a personal servant.

Many people couldn't understand why Bai Huang, who was the proud son of heaven, catered to Mo Xuanji so much, but to Bai Huang who was crazy about love at the time, it seemed that nothing was surprising.

But as Bai Huang approached step by step, the first thing he couldn't stand was Mo Xuanji who already had another love.

Taking advantage of a certain occasion when Bai Huang returned to Bai's house temporarily, Mo Xuanji fled to a distant place with his true sweetheart, and got married in a different place.

Later, Bai Huang went crazy.

Bai Huang locked herself in the courtyard of the main house for nearly a year, and even the old owner, Bai Huang's elder brother, didn't know what his younger brother was doing in the courtyard.

But the old Patriarch knew that Bai Huang's physical condition was very bad at that time, and it seemed that he would suffer from the fire every once in a while, so he asked the family to prepare a lot of ice cubes every once in a while.

Afterwards, Bai Huang fell ill more and more often, consuming a lot of ice cubes almost every day, but even so, Bai Huang was unwilling to communicate with other people, unwilling to tell others what to do to relieve his pain.

until one day……

The old Patriarch still remembers that day.

Yaodi, who was once so outstanding, walked in front of them with a downcast face in a long red dress, and said calmly——

"I will die tomorrow, but please allow me to die in this ancestral house. There may be a fire here when I die, so everyone leave here quickly, or go to hell with me."

It is naturally impossible for the old Patriarch and other members of the family to agree to such an absurd request, but although the Bai family has some power, Bai Huang is the only person with special power.

So when Bai Huang crazily pressed her with strength, everyone in the Bai family was forced to leave the ancestral house.

The old Patriarch brought some members of his direct family to live in the villa on the top of Phoenix Mountain, while others remained in various places in Phoenix City.

The next day, at the time Bai Huang mentioned, a fire broke out in Phoenix City, and it was difficult to extinguish the fire with ordinary water sources!

That fire not only burned down the Bai family's ancestral house, but even burned down half of Phoenix City!Countless residents who didn't know and the Bai family who hadn't left the ancestral house all died in the fire.

Everyone knew that Bai Huang also died in that fire.

This is actually the real reason why the old Patriarch exhausted his wealth to rebuild Phoenix City, and moved the Bai family's property to Jinxiu City.Except for a few people, no one knew that the real source of the fire came from the ancestral house of the Bai family, nor did they know that the real "murderer" of the fire was Bai Huang, the younger generation of the Bai family.

All the old Patriarch can do is to help his younger brother "pay off the debt", and then leave the land that the Bai family owes.

"The strange thing is..." The old patriarch who had said a lot at once stopped to take a sip of tea, and then looked at his son and daughter-in-law. The wife also died suddenly, leaving only a part of ashes in their house, without any trace of the body."

"After that, the Mo family could only think that there might be some connection between the bloodline of the Xuanlong and the bloodline of the Phoenix, so after Baihuang's death, Mo Xuanji also died in an explosion, and even his wife who was lying together was involved."

"In the blink of an eye, 30 years have passed like this." The old Patriarch felt very emotional, "The phantom of the Phoenix appeared on the top of Phoenix Mountain again, but everything has changed."

After expressing his emotions, the old patriarch straightened his expression, and said to his son Bai Weize very seriously: "Weize, I suspect...the second phantom that appeared on the top of Phoenix Mountain before was caused by Bai Huang."

"Father, what do you mean?" Bai Weize couldn't figure it out, "Uncle has been dead for so many years, it's impossible that his soul is still hovering on the top of Phoenix Mountain?"

"It's not impossible for such a reason, but what I really doubt is... Bai Huang may not have died in that fire." The old Patriarch stood up from his chair and walked to the window, "Everyone only saw The fire in Phoenix City, it is concluded that Bai Huang has died. But the person who caused the fire must die in the fire?"

"Also, I have a terrible guess." The old Patriarch paused, "I suspect that Bai Huang killed Mo Xuanji and his wife."

In an instant, the atmosphere in the study became silent, neither President Bai nor Mrs. Bai dared to break the silence.

In other words, they were also shocked by the speculation of the old Patriarch, and didn't know whether they should believe it or not.

"If Bai Huang is still alive, then the phantom of the Phoenix on the top of Phoenix Mountain must be his handwriting." The old Patriarch concluded again.

"Actually, I thought about it before." Mrs. Bai said cautiously, "I hope that the appearance of that phoenix phantom is because of Xiaoxiao, I hope Xiaoxiao is still alive, and even awakened the blood of the Phoenix."

Regarding what Mrs. Bai said, the old Patriarch just shook his head a little heavily, and said: "The person chosen by the Phoenix blood is not only born intelligent, but also must have an extremely outstanding appearance. Although Xiaoxiao is a smart and good child, but in appearance It is not in line with the choice of the Phoenix blood."

"However, Wei Ze, there is another very important reason why I called you here today." The old patriarch looked at his son with sharp eyes, "Mo Xuanfeng, the awakened dragon bloodline of the generation of the Mo family, met a thing today. Very odd thing."

Under the oppression of his father's eyes, Bai Weize could only keep silent and listen carefully.

"The child said that he met a strange person in this city. When he accidentally touched his hands with that person, he felt that the power of ice and fire in the two people's bodies instantly merged and alternated." The old Patriarch said The eyes are getting more and more terrifying, "This description is very suitable for the reaction when the owner of the blood of the dragon and the blood of the phoenix come into contact, and the person Mo Xuanfeng met should indeed be a very powerful fire ability user. "

"The other party's age is similar to Xiaoxiao..." The old patriarch took a few steps closer to his son, "Weize, are you an illegitimate child left outside without telling your wife..."

"Impossible!" Bai Weize instantly denied, "This kind of thing is absolutely impossible."

"Could it be Xiaoxiao?" As a mother, Mrs. Bai still couldn't give up any hope.

"Impossible. According to Mo Xuanfeng, the other party is a very good-looking young woman who runs a grocery store on Jinxiu Street." The old patriarch carefully looked at his son's expression, as if he wanted to make sure that the other party had Lying, "I also asked your two elder brothers the same question. The fourth brother died early, and I have no way to confirm..."

"In short, Wei Ze, I will leave this matter to you to investigate. If the other party is really the Phoenix blood of my Bai family, even if it is an illegitimate daughter of any family, I will bring it back." The old Patriarch sat back on the chair On, "Whether it is successful or not, we must give the Mohists an explanation."

After finishing speaking, the old Patriarch directly drove his son and daughter-in-law out, and sat there silently, flipping through the old photo albums in his hand, smiling wryly from time to time.

Even the old Patriarch didn't notice that when he looked down at the photo album, there was a figure standing outside the window with long dark red hair blowing up in the wind. After standing quietly for a while, he turned and left.

Coming and going, no one in the Bai family noticed.
