Chapter 127
As soon as Bai Zhiqian went back, Xiao Rou came up to meet her anxiously, with a worried look on her face, "How, what did she say, did she deliberately target you?"

"She seems to be different from what I thought." After hesitating for a long time, Bai Zhiqian replied slowly, "She just asked me about the spirit boat and wanted to get it back."

"Spirit boat..."

As soon as she mentioned this, Xiao Rou lowered her head with a sad expression on her face, "If there is no key, none of us can control the spirit boat, let alone open it. Breaking it open forcibly will only trigger the spirit boat to explode."

The spirit boat that Lei Jihui and Longyin had spent decades building was like a solid fortress once it was closed. It could only be opened from the inside and could not be broken by external forces.

If there is no key, but trying to open it forcibly, it will only arouse the self-destruction of the spirit boat, which Bai Zhiqian naturally knows well.

"Anyway, I'll find it."

She nodded firmly, no matter how difficult it was, she would never give up, otherwise she would not have made such great efforts to come to Lei's house.

"By the way, Miss Xiaorou." She suddenly thought of something and couldn't help asking, "Do you know that a huge change happened to the Lei family many years ago. It is said that a civil war broke out here in the shadows, and it was extremely tragic."

As soon as these words came out, Xiaorou's expression froze immediately, she stared at Bai Zhiqian in astonishment and said, "You...how did you know, this is a top secret."

You can tell what's hidden by that expression.

"Don't worry about how I know, I just want to know if it's true, it's very important to me." Bai Zhiqian hurriedly asked

Xiao Rou remained silent for a long time, as if she was still hesitating in her heart, but facing Bai Zhiqian's firm gaze, she relaxed and said, "Since you want to know, then I'll tell you."

"A civil war did break out here in Shadow back then, with heavy casualties, and even Lei's house was destroyed in a large area. Many places here were repaired later."

These are not different from what Lin Qingyue said. It seems that the other party did not lie to her, but this made her even more curious. She keenly felt that there were many secrets hidden here, and the truth she wanted to know.

"Xiaoqian, it's been so many years, so you don't want to ask about the specifics anymore. At that time, their differences were too big, and it was only a matter of time before a conflict broke out."

"Besides, Bai Muyang, the patriarch of the Bai family, happened to be absent at the time. As the creator of Shadow, he has always been the only one who can maintain the balance between the two sides. If he is not around, no one can suppress those rebellious geniuses."

"I can only say that Bai Muyang is a true hero, but unfortunately he died at the hands of a villain. He..."

"Okay, don't talk about this." Bai Zhiqian interrupted her with some discomfort, because this adoptive father who cared for her since she was a child is a problem she has never wanted to face, the most important of which is how to deal with her relationship with Bai Ningshuang.

The other party has been staying in the courtyard next door for the past few days, and seems to have no interest in what she wants to do, but the cold air that drifts over is always telling her clearly.

Bai Ningshuang has been staring at her.

But no matter what the other party's purpose was, Bai Zhiqian didn't care about her anymore, she didn't want to make trouble, the most important thing now was to find the key.

As for other things, even helping her younger sister to avenge her adoptive parents, she will do it one by one, and she will not let any enemy go.

She sighed and didn't want to continue talking, just now that the night was dark, she took the opportunity to speak.

"Xiaorou, it's almost time. Let's go to Aunt Longyin's yard. I have a hunch that we will find clues there."

Xiaorou nodded, but she didn't refuse, "Okay, but you have to listen to me, don't move around, otherwise don't blame me for getting angry."

"I see."

"One more thing." Xiao Rou paused and became serious, "I used to clean it every once in a while, if there was something, I should have found it long ago, so you have to be prepared."

"Perhaps this trip will return in vain."

Bai Zhiqian's face froze for a moment, but she soon calmed down, as if she didn't hear anything, she just replied lightly, "Let's go."

……

Following Xiaorou on a deserted path, Bai Zhiqian's mood was very complicated. The Lei family contained too many secrets, and it also involved shadows, which really made her unable to calm down.

What's more, she always believed that Bai Ningshuang would not come to Lei's house for no reason. Although the other party didn't make any move for a long time, she must have a big plan.

"Girl, don't think so much."

Yi Yao, who was lying on her shoulders, seemed to have noticed her thoughts, and said in a deep voice, "If sometimes you really don't have a clue, then focus on the things in front of you first, otherwise the more you think, the more mistakes you will make."

"I understand." Bai Zhiqian nodded lightly, her whole body gradually calmed down, and her eyes slowly fell on Xiaorou who was leading the way.

At night, there were quite a few people patrolling the Lei family, and even some remote places could still see the lights, but under the leadership of Xiao Rou, no one found them, giving them a chance to come to the periphery smoothly.

The layout of the entire Lei family is like an irregular circle, and there are layers of circles inside, each circle intersecting with each other, just like a complicated maze.

People who come here for the first time will never go out if there is no one to lead the way.

But Xiaorou is very familiar with this place, she even knows some hidden paths, and seems to know the layout of the entire Lei family well, which is obviously not something a person who doesn't like to go out can do.

Bai Zhiqian recalled a trace of doubts, and inevitably began to doubt the woman in front of her. There were too many things she couldn't explain clearly, but she didn't dare to think about it.

Because in front of her was Xiaorou, one of the few sisters who brought her warmth when she was a child. She didn't have many friends, and she didn't want to lose any more.

At this moment, Xiaorou's voice interrupted her thinking, she pointed to a half-abandoned courtyard and said, "Xiaoqian, we are here."

Bai Zhiqian looked around, under the dim moonlight, the whole yard looked a bit desolate, the fence was already covered with withered grass, and many places were damaged.

But when she took a closer look, she couldn't help attracting her eyes to a plaque on the door. Even in the dark, this thing exuded a faint light, as dazzling as a firefly.

This seems to be the most precious thing in this deserted yard.

"Huiyin..."

Xiaorou couldn't help showing a hint of sneer, "This is the name of the two of them. Sister Longyin has a special gaze that can be preserved for many years, and it can even shine in the dark."

"She has been expecting that person to see this and be attracted to come here, but even though her sister is dead, that person still hasn't set foot in this yard."

"If it wasn't for Sister Longyin personally telling me to leave this only memorial, I really wish I could set this thing on fire."

Every time he was mentioned, Xiaorou showed an expression of hatred, her petite body trembling uncontrollably.

Bai Zhiqian hugged her quickly, not wanting her to recall those painful memories again.

It took a while for Xiaorou to calm down, but when Bai Zhiqian was about to enter the yard, she stopped her.
