Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 303 The Great Witch's True Identity

Blinded by emotions?

This is true.

He never doubted what Nanchun said.

If it was Fourth Master Sheng, everything would make sense.

Nanchun took the magic book to Jincheng to meet with Fourth Master Sheng. By then, he should have known that Grandpa Nan was safe and sound!

Doesn't that mean Nanchun knew he was lying to him all along?

Nanchun must have thought: You lied to me, and I lied to you, so we're even.

Thinking of this, Bai Xun couldn't help laughing out loud.

Seeing this, the Great Wizard shook his head helplessly: "The word love is the most difficult to understand!"

Bai Xun smiled.

It is better to cooperate with the Fourth Master Sheng than the First and Second Masters of the Sheng family.

Bai Xun cooperated with him in the power plant. After working together for a long time, he could see that the Fourth Master was not a person who was blinded by greed. He valued friendship and was genuinely kind to the people around him.

Bai Xun's gaze fell on the calligraphy in the corner behind the Great Witch.

You come from your hometown, so you should know about the things in your hometown. 【Note 1】

"Do you know my mother?" Bai Xun looked straight at the Great Wizard.

The Great Wizard's hand trembled slightly, and the tea in the cup splashed out, soaking his clothes: "Madam... I know you."

Bai Xun said, "The next line is 'Will the winter plum blossoms bloom in front of the beautiful window tomorrow?' [Note 2] My mother once said that she loved plum blossoms because she had a plum tree in front of her window. You also said that you are an old friend. So you must be an old friend of my mother, right?"

The Great Wizard lowered his eyes and slowly brewed the tea.

After a long moment, he finally spoke: "There is no plum tree by her window, and there are no plum blossoms on Mount Luncang. When I was a child, a traveler from the south told me that his family had a plum garden filled with red plum blossoms. The red plum blossoms against the white snow were a beautiful sight.

Your mother, Xuelian, has loved poetry and songs since she was a child. She loved the plum blossoms described by literati, so she always wanted to see them with her own eyes. The traveler couldn't bear to disappoint her, so he painted a red plum blossom on her window.

Bai Xun murmured, "Snow Lotus."

A Niang's name is beautiful, just like her.

The Great Witch poured him some hot tea. "Xuelian and I grew up together. Our hometown is in the beautiful Luncang Mountains. I am the village priest, and Xuelian is the saint. Over twenty years ago, two injured young men entered the village, claiming to be lost travelers.

Your grandparents kindly took them in, but they robbed our family of their treasures and brutally murdered them. A few days later, those two returned with a group of men. They burned, killed, and looted the village. Xuelian and I fought back fiercely, but were defeated and fell off a cliff.

It was your grandfather and your father who saved us. They said they were searching for their ancestral tomb in Luncang Mountain. As a token of gratitude, Xuelian and I helped them find it there. After we found it, your grandfather offered to take us back to Baijiazhai. He was impressed by Xuelian and my ability to divine, predict good and bad luck, and understand feng shui.

Our home was gone, and we had nowhere else to go, so we followed them to Baijiazhai. Later, your father fell in love with Xuelian and married her despite your grandfather and grandmother's objections. In this respect, you're quite similar to your father. Unfortunately, he was too straightforward, not as clever or resourceful as you.

Bai Xun heard from his grandparents that his father had an accident while searching for the tomb.

A'niang rarely mentioned him, only saying that he was a very good person.

There was always a tattered jewelry box on her dressing table, and she often stared at it in a daze.

He was curious, so one day when his mother was away, he picked up the jewelry box and took a look at it.

It was engraved with "For my wife".

"How did my mother die?" Bai Xun asked.

The Great Wizard looked at him and said, "Don't you already know?"

Bai Xun smiled bitterly.

Sure enough.

The method of killing Nanchun is also the method of killing his mother.

No wonder his grandparents didn't let him get close to his brother, and even lied to them, saying that their mother had a contagious disease and was also insane.

From childhood to adulthood, his grandparents have always been the image of respecting the virtuous, being kind and generous, and helping the poor and needy.

Who would have thought...

"Bai Xun, the evil of human nature is beyond your and my imagination. Alas, it's my fault. I shouldn't have brought Xuelian to Baijiazhai and boarded the Bai family's pirate ship.

Now that I think about it, your grandfather was always using this method of repaying a favor, deliberately saving people who were useful to him, then discarding them after they had served their purpose," the Great Witch said bitterly.

"After your mother passed away, you did not leave, but stayed in Baijiazhai and continued to work for your grandfather. Since you wanted revenge, why didn't you say anything before?" Bai Xun asked.

The Great Wizard smiled and asked, "Now that you know that the enemy who wants to kill your beloved wife is also the enemy who killed your mother, what will you do?"

Bai Xun lowered his eyes and said nothing.

"So... what's the point of telling you? You grew up under the care of Master Bai and the old lady. The words "filial piety is the most important virtue" must have been engraved in your mind, right? If I tell you the truth, you would probably rather die than do anything to them." said the Great Wizard.

"Why are you willing to talk about it now?"

The Great Wizard raised his lips and said, "Because of Nanchun. You love him deeply. You planned for Nanchun. You started to rebel against the head of the Bai family and the old lady. You won't watch them hurt him. Now you have someone you want to protect, so it's only right for you to know these things. Bai Xun, today is the day to break ground. Do you want to go and see hell on earth?"

Bai Xun looked at him without saying anything.

"What? Are you scared?" The Great Wizard stood up and put on his mask. The mask had a green face and fangs, and it was eerie and terrifying, like an emissary from hell. "If you're scared, then stop it! Take your Nanchun and run away! But... Nanchun has a chivalrous spirit. I'm afraid he won't hide with you until the problem is solved."

Bai Xun clenched his fists, stood up and said, "Let's go!"

The Great Wizard chuckled, took out a long wooden box from the cabinet, and put it on his back. He took Bai Xun out the back door and walked along a hidden path into the mountains.

The great wizard walked very fast. After entering the mountain, he quickly left Bai Xun behind.

Seeing this, Bai Xun was not in a hurry and continued to walk forward slowly.

After walking for a while, he saw the great wizard sitting on a rock waiting for him.

"Second Young Master Bai, you are so young but you climb the mountain like an octogenarian. You are indeed a young master from a wealthy family and you don't often walk on mountain roads." The Great Wizard teased.

"Let's keep going." Bai Xun said.

The further he walked, the more familiar Bai Xun felt.

When the familiar depression appeared in front of him, Bai Xun paused slightly.

"What's wrong? Do you have a bad feeling?" The Great Wizard laughed, "That's right!"

Bai Xun frowned slightly and looked at the bushes.

Before, Nanchun brought him in from the bushes over there, while Dawu came up from the gentle slope over here.

When he came to this gentle slope before, he found traces of people walking on it.

That's why he asked Nanchun if he saw anyone else coming.
