I heard that I became the villain Bai Yueguang after I died

After saying goodbye to Chu Yao and the other person, Sang Nian walked briskly and headed straight for Sang Qi Yan's yard.

Things were going unusually smoothly. Next, as long as they passed Sang Qiyan's test, she and Xie Chenzhou could officially embark on the road to Xiaoyao Sect.

But, there is one more thing…

Sang Nian looked around at the scenery and secretly clenched his fists.

Just as I reached the gate of the courtyard, I happened to hear Buyu and Sang Qiyan walking out, talking and laughing. When they saw her, they stopped.

Sang Qiyan glanced at her and asked, "Are you sober?"

Sang Nian said awkwardly: "Completely awake."

Sang Qiyan couldn't bear to scold her, so he deliberately put on a stern face and threatened: "If you do it again, I won't forgive you."

Sang Nian made repeated assurances.

"To be honest, this is still my junior sister's fault." Wen Buyu said softly, "She has always been naughty and often causes trouble for others. I am really sorry."

Sang Nian smiled and said, "We have similar interests, so why would we get into trouble?"

"Thank you for your understanding, Miss Sang. I will take my leave now."

After saying that, Wen Buyu smiled, gestured to her, and strode away.

Sang Qiyan looked at his back, sighing intentionally or unintentionally:

"You should have been paired with someone as talented as this, what a pity..."

Sang Nian pretended not to understand and hurriedly dragged him into the study.

Sang Qiyan was puzzled: "What happened that's so urgent?"

Sang Nian slammed the door shut, "Brother, I came to see you for two things."

Sang Qiyan: "Which two?"

"First," Sang Nian said, "Did someone present you with a spiritual weapon? It's related to our mine."

Sang Qiyan raised his eyebrows: "You are well-informed. It was just shipped here yesterday, and you found out today."

Sang Nian said seriously: "That thing can't be used."

Sang Qiyan was puzzled: "Why?"

Sang Nian didn't know how to explain for a moment.

In the original book, not long after Sang Yunling and Xie Chenzhou joined the Xiaoyao Sect, something bad happened to the Sang family.

Tracing back to the source, it was because of a spiritual weapon.

A spiritual tool that can explore and dig out spiritual stone veins. The amount of spiritual stones mined in one day exceeds the total amount mined by a thousand miners in three days.

There is no doubt that this spiritual weapon was put into use soon.

But no one knows that this is only a semi-finished product.

On that day, the spiritual weapon caused an underground mine explosion, and the entire Qingzhou was buried underground. Countless people died, and even the City Lord's Mansion was not spared.

And all of this can be prevented.

Sang Nian gritted his teeth and made up an excuse:

"I had a dream that there was something wrong with that thing and you all died because of it. I'm very scared. Can you find a few weapon refiners to check it out?"

Sang Qiyan softened his tone: "Niannian, this is about the spiritual mine, you can't mess around..."

"I'm not kidding," Sang Nian held his arm, "It's precisely because this is about the spiritual mine that we have to be more cautious, right?"

Sang Qiyan looked like he couldn't do anything to her, "Okay, I'll invite the elders from the Tianheng Sect's Weapon Refining Hall to come over tomorrow."

Sang Nian insisted: "Today, right now."

Sang Qiyan had no choice but to back off: "Okay, now."

After saying this, he opened the door and spoke a few words to the guard on duty, who then left.

He paced back and said, "Are you relieved now?"

Before the result came out, Sang Nian's heart was still hanging. She clenched her fingers and said nothing.

However, Sang Qiyan suddenly remembered something and his expression turned cold:

"The little demon who kidnapped you has not been caught yet, but I have reported to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and issued a bounty order. Within three months, he will be captured and brought back. You can do whatever you want with him then."

Sang Nian said absentmindedly, "It's up to you to decide."

Not long after, several elders from the Tianheng Sect's Weapon Refining Hall hurried over.

Sang Qiyan said to Sang Nian, "It's dark and cold underground. Just wait for me here. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he left with a few people and his figure disappeared at the end of the road.

Every minute and every second of waiting seems extremely long.

Sang Nian felt uneasy.

Sang Qiyan did not go and come back as he said.

Two hours passed before he appeared at the study door again, his face solemn.

Sang Nian stood up suddenly: "How?"

"There is indeed a problem." He said in a deep voice, "You are right."

Sang Nian breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that we can find it in time."

"I have sent people to thoroughly investigate the weapon refiner." Sang Qi said, "I'm afraid this matter is not simple."

There are many spiritual mines in Qingzhou, and as the taller the tree, the more wind it attracts, there are many people secretly coveting it.

This was something that was not written in the book, and Sang Nian had no idea who was behind it, so he could only let him investigate.

"Thanks to you for discovering the problem in time, otherwise Qingzhou would have been in great trouble." Sang Qiyan's eyes flashed with some tentativeness, "But, did you really dream about it?"

Sang Nian said firmly: "That's right."

So, Sang Qiyan really stopped asking questions and changed the subject:

"You said there were two things, what was the second thing?"

Sang Nian organized his words: "I want to take Xie Chenzhou with Chu Yao and the others to Xiaoyao Sect."

"Want to go out and play?" Sang Qi said, "You've never left home since you were a child, and I'm worried about you being alone. Why don't we go together?"

"I'm not going there for fun." Sang Nian replied, "I want to participate in the Xiaoyao Sect's new student selection and become a disciple like Chu Yao."

The cheerful expression on Sang Qiyan's face disappeared in an instant.

"He can leave, but you, I won't allow you to," he said.

There was no room for negotiation in his words.

Sang Nian explained:

"Brother, I really don't want to be trapped in this small house for the rest of my life. I also want to see the world outside."

Sang Qiyan pinched his brows and said, "If the house is too small, we can expand it. I will allocate another 20 miles of land to the east."

"That's not what I meant." Sang Nian said anxiously.

"Niannian, you are not in good health and cannot stand the torture like Chuyao and the others," Sang Qiyan advised, "Listen to your brother and stay at home. Don't go anywhere. Home is the safest place."

"...Brother, I know I won't live long. Every day could be my last day."

Sang Nian said seriously:

"But because of this, I don't want to regret when I die, regretting why I couldn't go out and see the world. I don't want to shrink in my shell anymore, brother."

Sang Qiyan shook his head:

"You are too naive. The world of immortal cultivation is not as good as you think. On the contrary, it is full of dangers. If you are outside, I can't protect you like I did in Qingzhou."

"I can protect myself." Sang Nian refused to back down.

"Protect yourself?"

Sang Qiyan was so angry that he blurted out without thinking carefully:

"Your mother was also a monk, and she also died in an unclear manner. How are you going to protect her..."

At the end of his speech, his voice gradually faded away.

Sang Nian seized on the sensitive word: "My mother?"

Sang Qiyan's eyes flashed with annoyance: "Go back, don't think about it anymore, I won't agree."

Sang Nian refused to give in:

"What did you mean by that? My mother is a monk? What do you mean by 'your mother'? Isn't she your mother as well?"

Sang Qiyan turned around and said, "Don't ask, it's not important."

The original owner’s life experience might not be that simple.

This was related to whether they could leave smoothly, so Sang Nian grabbed his hand and asked him the truth:

"Of course it's important, brother. I want to know who my mother is. What have you been hiding from me all these years? If you don't want to tell me, I will find out myself. Can you guarantee that nothing about what happened back then will be leaked?"

"..."

After a longer silence, Sang Qiyan took a deep breath and looked down at her:

"My parents were both quarry workers in an underground mine. They died in an accident. The previous mayor of Qingzhou City brought me back and asked me to call him father."

"When you were ten years old, your father brought you home not long after you were born and told me that from now on you would be my sister."

Sang Nian was stunned, "You mean..."

"We are indeed not biological siblings."

My guess came true, but I didn't expect it to turn out this way.

Sang Nian didn't know what to say for a moment, so she could only gesture for him to continue.

Sang Qiyan continued:

"I don't know much about your mother. I only know that she was a swordsman. Later, she was attacked and seriously injured. You gave birth prematurely, and she didn't survive."

"My father loved her very much, and he died of depression not long after she died."
