Supreme pardon

Can't see what's on the person's hand, but the pain in the palm of the hand is still there, Bai Tan feels apprehensive, and backs away warily.

"Yuyou." The young man with long green hair quickly stood between the two of them and reprimanded him, "Nonsense!"

"I'm just making a little joke." With an aggrieved face, the girl still wanted to get closer.

Bai Tan raised one hand and continued to hide in the corner.

"Are the guardians so timid?" Duzui, because the time of pregnancy blocked it, Bai Youyou retreated helplessly.

"You change your clothes first, let's go down to eat." After sending Bai Youyou away, he took the time to apologize for her, "She's just a little weird, don't mind."

"I mind very much." Bai Tan touched his palm and said angrily, "It hurts a lot."

"There are a lot of people who suffer from her." Shaking his head helplessly, he took the clothes on the bed and said with a smile, "We agreed to treat you to dinner. I'll wait for you outside."

The door was closed by him.

Bai Tan stared at the clothes on the table, lowered his head and thought for a while, and then went over to change his clothes cooperatively.

Since I brought myself here, I must have something to say to myself.

The soldiers came to cover the water and the soil, took a step to see a step, and before contacting Yingying Bai's family, wasn't he mentally prepared.

Putting on white clothes and black trousers, Bai Tan tugged at the cuffs a little unaccustomed.

Huai Shiguang leaned against the wall, saw him come out, looked him up and down, nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very suitable."

The style of the clothes couldn't be simpler, but Bai Tan was surprised that the size was just right.

"Did you prepare it early in the morning?" He followed behind and asked tentatively.

"You mean clothes?" Huai Shiguang obviously didn't care.

"Ah."

"It was indeed prepared in advance."

I even know what kind of clothes I wear, so it can be seen... Among the people close to me are the people from the Shadow Bai family.

Bai Tan was complicated in his heart, pondered for a while, and asked.

"I want to see your village chief." He said bluntly, he unconsciously clenched the pendant around his neck hoping to give him strength, "If I disappear for too long, my family will find out."

"Don't worry, there are still a few hours."

"But Jue already knows me..."

"You mean the king of the descendants of the gods?" Turning his head back, he raised his eyebrows pregnantly, "I didn't realize he would tell about your disappearance."

"You know him?"

"I don't know much," shrugged his shoulders and reminded casually, "The stairs are a bit steep, so be careful."

"Ah." The white sandalwood is floating, but the corridor is too narrow and needs to be stabilized by hand.

Walking down the steps, when I was pregnant with time, I turned around and helped him thoughtfully, "Hey, the food is already served."

Walking to the corner, from quiet to noisy, Bai Tan blinked and looked at this bustling restaurant.

Back and forth, there were many customers walking around with the service staff, taking him with him when he was pregnant, and no one gave them a second look.

Bai Youyou, who left earlier, has already taken a seat at the table, and there are two men and a woman at the same table.

With the white sandalwood, Huai Guangguang personally pulled the chair over for him to sit first, and casually greeted those people, "They're all here."

"I've been thinking about my grandson's steamed stuffed bun for a long time." The chubby man spoke first, and the gazes of several people were either vague or directly on Bai Tan's face.

"Let me introduce you," first took the breakfast and put it in front of Bai Tan, lowering his voice in a low voice, "This is the young master of the Bai family, our behind-the-scenes boss."

"Hi, boss." The man wearing glasses greeted lazily in a perfunctory manner, and immediately turned his head to urge the cook to cook, "Old Sun, hurry up and serve!"

"..."

"Nice to meet you." The young woman with short hair and wearing a black waistcoat touched her ear and extended her hand politely.

Bai Tan hesitated for a while, but didn't move.

"Haha." Bai Youyou held chopsticks in her hand and stuffed a bun in her mouth, she shrugged her shoulders and let out a laugh.

"Yuyou..." The vest girl smiled apologetically at Bai Tan, she was quite helpless when she thought of something, and instead stretched out her hand to grab the porridge on the side, "Drink something? There are red dates in it."

"Thank you." Bai Tan didn't refuse, he had already looked at the restaurant after sitting down, the people who gathered for dinner should be ordinary people.

He took the spoon generously and took two bites.

The girl in yellow who greeted him earlier grinned at him, "Aren't you afraid we'll poison you?"

Bai Tan ignored him, and continued to eat gracefully. Seeing him like this, Bai Youyou felt bored, so she had to lower her head to eat.

There was no one talking at the dinner table, and the people at the table listened to the men at the next table bragging about some nasty things.

When the busy waiter came to clear the table, the others had already eaten and left. Bai Youyou and the woman got up together, and they nodded to Bai Tan as a salute before leaving.

Only the slightly fat man was left behind in his arms, and then he took Bai Tan out through the back door to another adjacent house.

"My name is Bai Liang." Before entering the room, the fat man introduced himself with a smile.

Bai Tan remembered his name, and took the initiative to sit opposite Huai Shiguang after entering.

Bai Liang helped pour water for them.

Bai Tan put his hands on his knees, stared at the man across from him, took a deep breath and said calmly, "What should I call you? Store Manager, or... Village Chief?"

"Oh?" Not surprised, Huai Shiguang raised the corners of his mouth with interest, "How do you know?"

"You brought me here. It's been a long time, and no one else has come. I believe that the Shadow Bai family will send someone with a suitable identity to meet me."

"uh-huh."

"Also, although they didn't show it, when they were talking at the table just now, they always looked at you subconsciously."

"En." Nodding, Huai Shiguang signaled Bai Tan to continue talking.

"Intuition." Bai Tan said the last two words most firmly.

Dazed for a moment, after Huai Shiguang looked at his companions, he laughed heartily and said, "What a hunch!"

"So, am I calling you right? Village Chief."

After pouring the water, after Bai Tan's voice fell, Bai Liang first bowed to Huai Shi, "Village Chief, can I sit down?"

Huai Shiguang sighed and waved impatiently, "Sit down."

Seeing that the two were playing around deliberately, Bai Tan pursed his lips and remained silent.

"You still have two hours." Glancing at his wrist, he stared at the pendant on Bai Tan's neck while pregnant.

Bai Tan followed his gaze and reacted, "Aren't you going to ask me?"

"What do you ask? Why do you contact us?"

"Ah."

"Let me begin by saying that I can see that you are full of confusion."

Bai Tan calmed down, nodded and said: "Okay, I want to know..." Taking out the empty box containing the key, he was puzzled, "What is the real way to open the key?"

I was lucky to be under the sacred tree that day, and from the sporadic conversation just now, I could hear that these people had been "watching" me.

"This box is a sensor. When it and the holy tree are turned on at the same time within a certain range, it will connect us."

"So," Bai Tan recalled the details of that day, "the holy tree is also a sensor?"

"You can understand it as a large monitor."

"What is the method to open the holy tree and the box?"

"Blood of the direct line of the Bai family." Huai Shiguang asked and answered very simply.

Bai Tan said in a deep voice, "So, it doesn't have to be me who can open it, any Bai family can do it?"

"Of course it's only you, we won't open the others."

So the final decision is actually the shadow Bai family who is behind the scenes.

A flame flashed in Bai Tan's eyes, seeing his anger, Huai Shiguang explained, "The only ones who can get the box are the guardians, and the ones who can perform the sacrificial ceremony should also be the guardians."

"So every time I sacrifice to the holy tree, I actually open the connection between the holy tree and you?"

"That's understandable."

"You always knew about my situation?"

"Yes, but it's not just the holy tree channel. Please believe that we are also recording your physical health." Bai Liang replied on his behalf.

Bai Tan didn't feel any better because of this, "You are playing with the Bai family!"

"No, I hope you can understand that for the senior members of the shadow Bai family, faith is our soul." Piously, Bai Liang said in a low voice.

"But you watched all the tragedies happen."

"Our allegiance is to the Bai family, not just one or two people." Compared with Bai Liang, Huai Shiguang is indifferent and almost emotionless.

"Okay, since you are loyal to the Bai family, the Bai family is not facing disaster now, and I have contacted you, why do you want to see me?"

"Everything is changing, nothing stays the same forever."

"What do you mean?" Bai Tan was nervous.

"The shadow Bai family has been passed down from generation to generation. We are all cursed. Everyone can't fully live as themselves. I know that you are angry with those who died, but the pain is not only what you see in front of your eyes."

"you……"

"It all started thousands of years ago. The shackles on the Shadow Bai family were locked by the guardian, and it should be ended by the guardian now."

"What do you mean?"

"After all, it only appears when the Bai family is in crisis. Isn't this kind of rule first set by the guardian?" With a smile on his face but cold eyes, Huai Shiguang stood up, "You understand why I see you?"

"If you want to change, why wait until today?" Bai Tan is not stupid, on the contrary, sometimes he is very sensitive.

"Too many people stick to the past and refuse to let go of what they have been insisting on, because letting go means betraying the past and denying those relatives who raised us with their own hands."

"Then why did you..."

"500 years of us watching it happen in the dark is boring enough."

Yes, the guardian who died 500 years ago must have created a rift between the shadow Bai family and the Bai family. What did those people think at that time?They obviously gave everything for the people in the light, but in the end, they were feared, and even the people representing them were killed.

It's just the belief that binds them, but in the past 500 years, the brotherhood has never stopped.

How these most steadfast people suffer.

"You, why did you choose me?" Bai Tan struggled to understand what these words meant.

"For us, you are an opportunity."
