Chapter 1350: Grudges of the Past

Upon arriving at the airport, Lin Hao looked at Si Teng curiously and asked, "Can the life energy I transferred to you help you digest it?"

Si Teng said somewhat lazily, "It is quite useful, but not that useful. It's still a matter of attributes. It will take time to digest."

Lin Hao breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"It seems we need to think of another way. I've been really worried about you these past few days, seeing you get better and worse on and off. I hope you can recover soon!"

Because Si Teng's original form was incomplete, he couldn't digest the power of the Crimson Umbrella properly and reverted to his original form several times, which worried Lin Hao greatly.

Fortunately, Lin Hao was there and was able to transfer life energy to Si Teng; otherwise, she would have definitely reverted to her vine state and recovered, just like in the original series.

"By the way, what do we do next?" Si Teng asked lazily.

"Of course, it's to find her!" Lin Hao said with a smile.

"Bai Ying is dead after all. You will absorb Bai Ying's power again, merge with her, and become a complete Si Teng again. Incidentally, this will make it easier for you to digest the power of the Crimson Umbrella?"

Upon hearing Lin Hao's words, Si Teng nodded and said, "Yes, although so many years have passed, some things should be settled!"

"Then where do we look for her?" Si Teng asked again.

"Yuhang City!"

"Yuhang City?"

······
Back then, Qiu Shan used the Seven Star Stone Plate to find Bai Ying's whereabouts. At that time, Bai Ying was weak after childbirth and was no match for Qiu Shan.

After killing Bai Ying, Qiu Shan insisted on burning Bai Ying's body to avoid any further complications.

As a result, Qiu Shan summoned thunder to burn the corpses, but Bai Ying's corpses were only charred black, instead of turning to ash like the other members of the Bai clan.

When Cang Hong looked at Bai Ying's remains, it was as if he saw someone about to speak, as if saying that he would return.

Li Zhengyuan was worried about frightening his young apprentice, so he covered his eyes, but that didn't stop him from hearing Qiu Shan's words.

"No, since it can't be burned through, I'm going to take these remains back to Cangcheng Mountain and perform a ritual to suppress them. I'll also dig out her original body, Teng Gen, to prevent future troubles."

Whether it was fate or not, when the group left Shenhai with the remains, the sky was overcast and a thick fog blanketed the area.

I could only see clearly within a dozen meters of me; beyond that, all I could see were shadowy figures, like ghosts wandering the earth.

Although they left with heavy hearts, misfortune struck again as it started raining, leaving the group with no choice but to keep going.

But suddenly there was lightning and thunder, followed by a deafening roar, as if a giant fireball had ripped through the sky and landed beside the group.

Huang Yu, who was traveling with Qiu Shan, was stunned by the sound. The car was overturned, and Cang Hong rolled a long way away. He saw black smoke billowing out and almost choked to death.

When Cang Hong woke up, he saw a noisy crowd around him, with heart-wrenching screams and the stench of blood and oil wafting through the air, mixed with heavy rain, which was terrifying.

Cang Hong only learned later that the plane crashed over Shenhai that day, but it happened to land near them.

Whether they were unlucky or lucky, everyone was safe and sound, except that most of their luggage and the wooden box containing the remains had disappeared without a trace.

"Where is Bai Ying's body?" Si Teng asked seriously.
"If I'm not mistaken, Bai Ying's body was stolen, right?" Lin Hao's words made Si Teng take a serious look.

“That’s right!” Lin Hao nodded and said.
"Bai Ying did not have a good life after marriage. Shao Yankuan not only neglected her, but also took another concubine. She could endure all of this."

"But what truly tormented her was the discovery, by chance, that the man she loved most had betrayed her!"

Lin Hao then recounted Bai Ying's married life and subsequent experiences to Si Teng.

Half an hour later, Si Teng was sobbing uncontrollably, feeling both heartbroken and furious!
I feel sorry for Bai Ying's painful experience and angry at her for being so foolish as to go to such lengths for a worthless playboy, allowing that man to hurt her like that!

Bai Ying deeply loved Shao Yankuan, and she married him like a moth drawn to a flame, only to discover that this love was a form of exploitation, and that Shao Yankuan and Qiu Shan were in cahoots.

By the time Bai Ying learned this, she was already physically weak due to childbirth.

Therefore, although she was once very powerful, her abilities were now inferior to Qiu Shan's. Qiu Shan took advantage of her vulnerability, ambushed Bai Ying, killed her, and even killed her child in front of her.

It has to be said that Bai Ying is a tragedy, but she deserved it.

Back then, no matter how Si Teng tried to persuade her, she wouldn't listen and insisted on being with Shao Yankuan. Because of this, Si Teng not only split into two, but also killed Si Teng in order to be with Shao Yankuan.

It turned out that she was the clown; Shao Yankuan and Qiu Shan were in cahoots, and everything was a setup for her.

So he began to plot his revenge. At that time, the Sky Tree, which had transformed into a human, had already married a human woman and had children.

So Bai Ying found the Sky Tree, killed the couple, and stole the child.

Upon hearing this, Si Teng suddenly asked, "Is it Qin Fang, the one who resurrected me before?"

"No!" Lin Hao shook his head and said, "That child is Qin Fang's grandfather, and Qin Fang is a third-generation descendant!"

"Because Qin Laifu of the Qin family had no heir and longed for a child, Bai Ying took the child away and handed him over to the Qin family to raise, and also helped them pay off their debts from the textile factory."

"The condition was to retrieve her body, put her in the prepared wicker box, and throw her into the waters designated by Bai Ying."

Qin Fang's great-grandfather, Qin Laifu, also kept his promise to her. He found two men who could swim and placed the rattan box in the designated place.

After the rattan box was lowered into the water, the people who went into the water were immediately strangled by Bai Ying's vines, leaving only Qin Laifu alive.

Thus, the only person who knew the location of Bai Ying's body had been hanged, while Qin Laifu, who had not gone into the water, knew the exact location of Bai Ying's body.

"Then wouldn't we be unable to find Bai Ying's body?" Si Teng asked, frowning.

Searching for a lake covering hundreds of thousands of square kilometers piece by piece would take forever!

Lin Hao smiled slightly and said, "Didn't you notice how Qin Fang's grandfather found the approximate location where the body was placed?"

Si Teng's eyes lit up and he said, "She has a backup plan!"

"Yes, Bai Ying personally painted a picture of her burial place. We searched for a long time but couldn't find it. Finally, we remembered that the Qin family lived in Yuhang City before moving to Shenhai City!"

"No wonder we came here!" As the plane slowly landed, Si Teng looked down at Yu Hang City.

······
Lin Hao and Si Teng, having enjoyed sightseeing, arrived near the Qin family's old residence and were about to ask someone for directions.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Lin Hao?" A familiar yet unfamiliar voice sounded behind Lin Hao.

Lin Hao and Si Teng turned around and found that the person who came was Qin Fang, the male lead of the drama.

"Hello, I'm Lin Hao!" Lin Hao smiled and extended his hand.

"Hello, I'm Qin Fang!" Qin Fang extended his hand and shook it, then said gratefully, "Thank you so much for last time!" "It's nothing, just a favor!" Lin Hao then asked:
"By the way, those two guys who pushed your car off the cliff, did they come after you without causing any trouble?"

"No!" Qin Fang shook his head and said with a smile, "Those two people were fraudsters. After you called the police for me, they were arrested!"

"It's good that you're alright!" Lin Hao nodded, feeling that his efforts to alter those two people's memories hadn't been in vain.

After Qin Fang finished speaking, he seemed to remember something, so he pulled An Man aside and introduced her: "This is my fiancée, An Man!"

He then pointed to Lin Hao and introduced him, saying, "This is our savior, Lin Hao!"

"Hello there!"

An Man gave Lin Hao a strange look. Actually, she was also a little curious as to why those two people didn't point her out.

You see, she and those two were in cahoots, but after they were arrested, they seemed to have forgotten about her, which made her incredibly curious.

After several attempts by her, they indeed forgot their own existence and were finally able to be with their loved ones with peace of mind.

"Hello!" Lin Hao introduced Si Teng, "This is my wife, Si Teng!"

Qin Fang turned to Si Teng and greeted him, "Hello!"

"Hello!" Si Teng nodded in response, then looked at Qin Fang with curiosity. Although there was still a sense of connection between them, it had faded considerably, not as much as with Lin Hao.

At this moment, Qin Fang gestured and said:
"Gentlemen, it's truly a case of meeting by chance rather than by invitation. I happen to have made a reservation at a restaurant, and I must ask you to grace us with your presence today so I can properly thank you for saving my life!"

"Uh, okay!" Lin Hao and Si Teng exchanged a glance, surprised by the coincidence, nodded and followed.

Originally, Lin Hao and Si Teng planned to go directly to the Qin family's old residence, but unexpectedly Qin Fang also came. So they decided to go with the flow and tell him their purpose openly, thinking that Qin Fang would not refuse.

On the way, seeing Qin Fang and An Man's sweet relationship, it seemed that the two were indeed together after all.

This is actually quite good. Anman is a good person in some ways, but also not so good in others.

However, one thing is certain: she was devoted to Qin Fang and gave up her fraudulent career.

The three of them ate and chatted at the restaurant.

Besides listening to Qin Fang's gratitude, Lin Hao also revealed the purpose of his visit: to find out the exact location of the old painting with the pagoda in Qin Fang's hometown!
Although Qin Fang was surprised that Lin Hao knew about the old painting in his house, he agreed without hesitation.

In his eyes, Lin Hao had saved his life on the other side of the highway that day, and indirectly saved An Man's life as well.

He was overjoyed that even a useless piece of information could help his savior.

After the meal, Qin Fang led Lin Hao and Si Teng to the Qin family's old residence. As Qin Fang opened the door, he said as they walked:
"Although this old house has been vacant since my grandparents passed away, I have hired someone to maintain and care for it regularly every year. However, I haven't been here myself for many years!"

Qin Fang quickly found the painting.

"Miss Sito, I have obtained a photo of my great-grandfather. Please take a look."

Si Teng took the painting, unfolded it, and then Qin Fang began to introduce it:

"This is my great-grandfather, this is my great-grandmother, this is my grandfather, and this is~!"

"Huh!" Qin Fang exclaimed softly when pointing to Bai Ying's portrait, then asked curiously:

"Miss Bai Ying in this painting looks so much like Miss Si Teng!"

“It really does look like her!” Si Teng glanced at Bai Ying in the painting with a complicated expression.

Qin Fang looked at Si Teng with some curiosity and asked:

"Miss Siteng, you've come all this way to find this painting. Do you have some kind of relationship with our family?"

Si Teng Sa Ran smiled and said, "That's hard to say!"

As Sito continued looking at the photos, he quickly came across a picture with the following text written on it:

"In the winter of 1946, I took my wife on a boat trip on the lake, accompanied by my friend Bai Ying. We came with high spirits and left thoroughly satisfied!"

After reading it, Si Teng nodded, then asked Qin Fang:

"By the way, Qin Fang, was your last trip to Da Na your honeymoon?"

"No, we went to Dana because of the last wish of our elders."

"They said that my great-grandmother had once received a favor from Dana Jia Guihong, so they asked me to kowtow and express my gratitude."

Although Si Teng didn't know who this Jia Guihong was, he figured he must be the one who had traveled thousands of miles to Dana with his own body.

Si Teng and Lin Hao exchanged a glance and immediately understood that having Qin Fang kneel before Si Teng's grave was definitely to resurrect her.

After looking around the old house and finding nothing of interest, the group left.

They started asking around among the elderly people and confirmed that the Qin family had indeed incurred a lot of debt back then. It was Miss Bai from the Shanghai Textile Factory who helped the Qin family out of the crisis.

Just as the group was about to leave the Qin family's old residence, Jia Guizhi and Zhou Wandong unexpectedly blocked their way.

"Qin Fang, come with us!" Qin Fang looked at them with some curiosity, then said:
"I've already told you, the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead isn't with me!"

Jia Guizhi said, "We're not here for the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead, we just want you to come with us somewhere!"

Qin Fang asked somewhat warily, "Where?"

"Dana!" However, after Jia Guizhi finished speaking, she noticed Si Teng standing to the side and then her whole body trembled.

"Miss Bai Ying!" Jia Guifang cried out in alarm.

Upon hearing this, Si Teng's eyes lit up immediately. She hadn't expected the other party to call her Miss Bai Ying.

When she noticed that Jia Guizhi was looking at her strangely, she wondered if it was related to Jia Guihong.

I was just thinking about how Jia Guihong would keep his promise. After all, eighty years have passed. If he's still alive, he must be over a hundred years old.

Immediately, a man surnamed Jia arrived and specifically asked Qin Fang to go to Dana. In addition, the man called Bai Ying by name. If she didn't believe that he wasn't a descendant of Jia Guihong, she definitely wouldn't believe it!

So Si Teng immediately activated his technique, using the memory probe of the Red Umbrella, and instantly understood what was going on.

The other party was indeed a descendant of Jia Guihong. Entrusted by Bai Ying, Jia Guihong transported his body to Dana for burial and also cast a spell on the Jia family descendants, telling them to bring the Qin family descendants to Dana eighty years later.

The trigger for this vine-killing ability happened to occur on Jia Guizhi in the current generation of the Jia family.

Furthermore, the other party had seen Bai Ying's portrait, which explains why the way they looked at him was strange, and they even called out Bai Ying's name directly.
