Supreme pardon

"Opportunity?"

"Yes, opportunity." Staring at Bai Tan, he said calmly, "You are different from those caged birds that were raised and abandoned before. Although you are also weak and imprisoned, you are not afraid of flying."

"You read it wrong," Bai Tan lowered his head, with a little self-mockery, "I'm afraid, I'm more afraid than anyone else, it's because I'm afraid, so I pretend I can't see too many things."

"yes."

"Yes." Raising his head, Bai Tan pursed his lips, "I'm no different from the previous guardians. Because I was afraid, I ignored them. Because I ignored them, I even allowed others to hurt myself. Because of worries, I would rather shrink my head and become a soulless ornament." .”

"Are you worried about losing your family?"

"I'm also worried that everything I currently have is going to disappear."

"But do you really have it?" Smiling, he said peacefully with his eyes full of time: "You want to say that you are a coward?"

"Am I not?"

"No, we have been watching you secretly." Bai Liang suddenly interjected: "For us, you have a very powerful force, not only kindness and optimism, but also the most important empathy."

Being praised like this, Bai Tan didn't know how to respond for a while.

Bai Liang glanced at the village head, and continued: "You have strong emotional self-control, and you can empathize and listen, which is very rare."

For a long time, no matter in the Bai family or on the earth, Bai Tan has been looked down upon by others, not to mention his own family, but the family members around Wen Renjue. Although they dare not disrespect him, they have always despised him. He felt that he was useless, that he was too weak to stand beside their king, and this was the first time someone recognized him.

"This can be seen from the fact that you have lived with the god-born king for many years without incident."

"You know?" These two words for many years made Bai Tan's heart tremble.

Bai Liang didn't mean to deceive him, and said frankly: "We don't know enough about your life on earth, but it is definitely more than the Bai family."

Bai Tan frowned, having a certain guess in his mind.

"Although it is unconscious most of the time, you can judge other people's emotions from their expressions and tone of voice, and communicate with them in a form that the other party can adapt to, which is impossible without excellent insight and psychoanalysis skills .”

"Perhaps, no one has ever told you that it is very valuable to dare to express your feelings." Huai Shiguang's eyes softened, "These qualities in you show us the shadow of a generation of guardians."

"You..." After hesitating for a while, Bai Tan took a deep breath and said, "Why are you telling me this?"

"Do you believe in fate?"

"Fate?"

"The millennium cycle, before the new cycle begins, there should be an end."

Bai Tan stared blankly at the person in front of him, always feeling that he saw some kind of light from Huai Shiguang's body, dazzling and glaring.

"I believe that you are the opportunity to bring everything to an end. I will return the Shadow Bai Family to you."

"..." Bai Tan originally thought that the next thing to talk about was the conditions, but he didn't expect the other party to make such a decision.

"You can confess your weakness, which makes me very happy." He said, untiing the necklace from his neck while pregnant, "If a person wants to lead others, at the very least, he must first see himself clearly, and You, knowing your own weakness but daring to appear here, this is the courage that the guardians of the Bai family lost many years ago."

"You are also my opportunity." Bai Tan suddenly said seriously: "I don't know what kind of decision you want me to make, but I know that if the village chief wasn't you, I wouldn't dare to break the inheritance."

Either don't forget the resentment, continue to observe the rules and watch coldly, or simply forget the original intention and really cut off the shadow Bai family from the Bai family.

"Thank you." With the corners of his mouth raised, Huai Shi stood up from his seat.

Seeing the person approaching him step by step, Bai Tan raised his head a little at a loss.

"This is all about the Shadow Bai Family." Putting the pendant on the necklace in Bai Tan's palm, he took a step back with time in his arms.

Bai Tanjue's palms were burning hot, staring at the black chip that was only as small as a thumb cover, feeling a little confused.

"Here's a list."

"List?"

"There are a total of 820 people's names in it, and they are all villagers of Baijia Village."

More than 4 people?All of Shadow Bai's family?

Feeling this solemnity, Bai Tan didn't rush to ask, he held his breath and waited patiently.

"These more than 4 people are located in various parts of the alliance. There are noble patriarchs and refugees who live in no fixed place."

"Is there really such a village?" Existence of a Baijia village?

"Yes, we have many gathering points, but the real Baijia Village does not exist in reality, but is in this list."

"Over the years, the staff has been changing, right?" Realizing the management problems here, Bai Tan looked at the time with a lot of reverence.

"We have corresponding rules and methods to deal with this kind of thing. This list will be updated every 20 years. One of the responsibilities of the village chief is to record."

Can these 4 people really possess a power not inferior to that of the Bai family?

Looking at the pendant with the list in his hand, Bai Tan obviously had doubts.

Huai Shiguang was still standing, and said calmly: "I know what you are thinking, what I can tell you is that these 4 people include top talents from all walks of life, some of them have great wealth, and some of them are in the government. who wield great power."

"The incident 500 years ago?"

"The shadow Bai family is both a guard and a flame. Even if one day the Bai family collapses suddenly, these 4 people return to their own identities, and they can completely rebuild a new Bai family overnight."

"There are so many people," Bai Tan was puzzled, "How to manage them?"

"Mutual restraint, coercion and lure." Without going into too much detail, he sat down again in his arms, "Right now, how do you make a decision?"

Slowly closing his fingers, Bai Tan held the small chip and said firmly: "I have a question, and I want to know the answer."

"You say."

"If I only knew half of the inheritance like the previous guardians, would you still come to me?"

"Yes, as I said, you are the opportunity."

"Well, what do you think..." Bai Tan clenched his fists hard, "My father, will he hurt me?"

"Which area are you referring to?"

"If everything that happened in the past 500 years is a curse, then on me..."

"Your education model is the same as the previous guardians. You can't deceive yourself about this." Huai Shiguang was indifferent, "So, from the earliest original intention, your father, the current patriarch of the Bai family, did not break this pattern." A kind of unspoken meaning."

Your own education since childhood?

Bai Tan felt uncomfortable in his heart, but forced himself to smile on his face.

It seems that only in this way can I not be so pitiful.

"Then, will father want my life?" This is exactly where I feel depressed after knowing the truth. I am already married, how many days can I still have the title of guardian?

When the time comes, will my useless chess piece be completely cleaned up...

"The guardian has never married outside, but you have already gone to the god-born world. Logically, you should have been disqualified long ago, but why didn't Patriarch Bai not?" Without any euphemism, Huai Shiguang calmly said: "For him, the guardian The other is that his son is obviously more reliable than his grandson."

Bai Tan trembled slightly, but did not make a sound.

Huai Shiguang continued calmly, "I don't mean to comfort you, but he married you to the god-born king. Apart from those practical considerations, I believe..."

"What do you believe?" Bai Tan's tone was excited like a person in the desert seeing an oasis.

Huai Shiguang shook his head silently, "He also has some thoughts in his heart, wanting to save you from the curse."

"So, my father didn't give me the key for a long time, nor did he tell me the meaning behind the key?"

"Anyway, he is also your biological father, and there is always a little bit of family affection that never dies."

"Really." It was not obvious from the expression, but Bai Liang was surprised to find that there were tears falling from the corner of Bai Tan's eyes.

"However, he will make this decision," Huai Guangping said, "It is determined by many factors."

"I know, but that's enough." On the side of the prodigy, the father has something he wants, but Bai Tan is willing to believe that among the many considerations, there is a little bit of it, and his father must have thought about wanting to get rid of this fate.

"Wandering on Earth is a turning point for you."

"I still want to know..." His voice became hoarse, Bai Tan spread his fingers and stared at the black chip, "If one of my two elder brothers becomes the new patriarch, will they..."

"Yes." Before Bai Liang spoke, Huai Shiguang answered coldly.

Bai Tan lowered her gaze, "Grandma told me everything to give me the right to choose, because she felt that she owed my mother, and now, you also gave me the right to choose..."

"Ah."

"You guys, what exactly do you want me to do?" Bai Tan murmured in confusion, "What if I let you down?"

Making a choice is sometimes not only a right but also a responsibility. After knowing the energy of the shadow Bai family, Bai Tan was overwhelmed and breathless.

He has never enjoyed this kind of freedom since he was a child, and he has carried too much burden with it at this time.

"Live in the way you like," Huai Shi said softly, "This is your grandma's wish."

"Then what about you?" Bai Tan raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and repeated the question, "What about you?"

"No matter what you do or don't do, this is your freedom. I just want to give you back what belongs to the guardian of the Bai family."

Bai Tan remembered the most important purpose of this trip, and forced himself to cheer up, "Do you know about Lushui?"

If the shadow Bai family is really as powerful as the person in front of him said, then he must be aware of the recent changes in the Bai family.

"A potion that can help humans undergo some kind of evolution?"

"Yeah." Bai Tan said calmly, "It's lost."
