Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 13 The Inside Story of the Bai Family

Alarms blared all around, creating a deafening cacophony, and warnings were repeatedly broadcast over the loudspeakers.

"Warning! Warning! Cease all actions immediately! Otherwise, you will be charged with treason!"

The elite class dormitories at the Jiangnan First Military Academy were already in good condition, and even during the summer vacation, all the necessary safety measures were in place.

When Bai Sheng and his group first arrived, their identities were verified, and they were confirmed to be Bai Yang's relatives before the soldiers on guard let them in.

Ordinary civilians are not even qualified to enter the campus, let alone the students' private dormitory area.

Principal Wei paid extra attention to Bai Yang's every move and had secretly raised his security level long ago.

As soon as the smart program in the dormitory detected signs of an abnormal fight, it immediately issued an automatic alarm.

Taking photos as evidence, uploading relevant personnel information, and notifying Principal Wei—the three tasks were completed in one go.

Bai Zhangting and the other two turned pale. The fight in the quasi-military zone could be a big deal or a small one.

In milder cases, officials will not investigate unless the people complain.

The more serious cases are a hundred times more egregious than those that take place in the urban area of ​​the base city.

There is nothing to say about the various punishments imposed.

The five remained frozen in place, their faces alternating between red and blue as the lights from the tri-color alarm in the dormitory illuminated them.

Bai Yang's face was full of smiles. He was on his own turf, what did he have to be afraid of?

The three women had ashen faces, and under the light, they looked as sinister and terrifying as female ghosts.

With a loud "bang," Bai Yang's door was violently blasted open.

Principal Wei strode in, followed by a large group of teachers in formal military uniforms, all with angry expressions.

The group surrounded the entire dormitory, completely sealing it off from the wind and rain.

Who among ordinary people has ever seen such a sight?

The remaining students who stayed on campus noticed the commotion and immediately gathered around. Several more posts on the intranet forum began to be broadcast live.

Principal Wei's current appearance is quite different from what Bai Yang had seen before.

The old man, who was always smiling, now had a terrifying expression.

His eyes no longer held their usual kind and gentle look; instead, they had the fierce, menacing gaze of an eagle and the menacing aura of a wolf, clearly the result of someone who had fought their way out of a pile of corpses.

"What's going on?! What does the Bai family want? How dare they cause trouble here?!"

Principal Wei's words were aggressive from the start; his old and short body exuded a tremendous sense of oppression.

Everyone was immediately stunned by its power, and even Bai Yang felt slightly disoriented. What an incredibly strong spiritual force!

It can actually directly affect his condition!

A war god! Absolutely a war god! And at least a mid-level war god!

The three Bai family women fared even worse, their bodies trembling slightly as if they were about to collapse.

Bai Zhangting bit her tongue, forcibly pulling herself together, and with a push of her chin, finally regained her ability to speak. She said with difficulty:

"We meant no harm, my aunt is..."

Principal Wei interrupted dismissively, "Even if Bai Pianqing herself were here in this Jiangnan Base City, she wouldn't dare to act recklessly!"

"You think you can look down on us just because you have some mental abilities? You've come to the wrong place!"

Bai Zhangting was angry, annoyed, resentful, and afraid. She wanted to scold him for bragging, but she also knew that one thing he said was absolutely true!

Even if the two were within ten meters of each other, a mid-level war god could instantly close the distance and twist her head off.

Afterwards, they were able to brazenly go to the Kyoto base city to confront their aunts and demand an apology from the Bai family!

Having always had a smooth and easy life, she said resentfully, "This is our family matter..."

With a snicker, Bai Yang finally couldn't help but laugh out loud. This fairy was really out of her mind; she couldn't even recognize this much of the situation.

He was genuinely curious and couldn't help but ask, "What exactly are you guys here for?"

Bai Zhangting said irritably, "We kindly came to take you to Kyoto Base City for treatment! We didn't expect you to... Humph!"

Principal Wei pondered for a moment, then waved his right hand and said, "Everyone come with me to the Academic Affairs Office for a private talk. The rest of you may leave."

The three Bai family daughters dared not resist and obediently followed behind Bai Yang and his brothers towards the three-story building.

Bai Sheng was not good with words, and at this moment he couldn't say a word, feeling that all of this was incomprehensible.

Principal Wei's favoritism towards Bai Yang is obvious; even a blind person could see it. He disregarded the law and prioritized Bai Yang's privacy.

He's only been in Kyoto for six months and hasn't come back yet. Where did my cousin get the face he deserves?

Why do I feel like these two people are even more familiar and close to me than he is to my father, Bai Pianyong?

Bai Yang was also interested in understanding the situation. He knew that his cousin would never reveal the family's secrets in public, so it would be better to talk about it privately.

The group arrived at the Academic Affairs Office and went straight to the third-floor conference room they had visited before.

Principal Wei let the five people in, while he himself stood guard at the door.

"This place is absolutely soundproof; even a psychic's mental energy can't get in. Get everything sorted out in one go, don't drag it out. I'll be right outside the door; call me if you need anything."

Bai Yang and Bai Sheng thanked the principal for his kindness, and then the five of them went inside.

Upon entering the room, they naturally split into two groups, with the man and woman sitting on either side.

Seeing this, Bai Zhangting sneered, "Bai Sheng, which side do you want to sit on?"

Bai Sheng frowned and said, "Of course I'm sitting with my family."

Bai Yang chuckled dryly twice, his eyes sweeping over her swollen cheeks and chin, looking eager to try.

Are you being a jerk again? Is your chin still itchy?

Seeing his expression, Bai Zhangting's heart skipped a beat, and she said resentfully:

"You whole family are ungrateful! Bai Pianyong deliberately chose single-character names for all of you, disregarding the generational order of 'Pianzhang Jinxiu, Bocai Zhongzhang,' and your aunt knew you didn't consider yourselves part of the Bai family!"

Bai Sheng's silence was a tacit agreement, which surprised Bai Yang.

So there was such a detail? Neither I nor the original owner of this body had noticed it.

My uncle helped me choose my name; I had no idea before.

Bai Zhangting looked indignant and said, "Bai Sheng! Has our Bai family ever wronged you?! We made all three of us sisters marry you, how have we wronged you?!"

"You said you wanted to treat this kid, even with conditions like a VIP ward at Kyoto First Hospital, your aunt agreed! What else are you dissatisfied with?!"

Bai Sheng finally spoke up: "I remember all the kindness my aunt has shown us. She has never wronged me."

"And yet you still do it!"

Bai Sheng slowly said, "The Bai family has the talent of mentalists. In order to enhance the family's strength, my aunt arranged for me to marry into the family of mentalists. There's nothing wrong with that."

But you can't force my brother! Aren't I enough on my own? You want me to go with him to you...? I can't do that! He has to agree to it himself!

"Tch! You, with your third-rate crippled height, dare to talk like that! If it weren't for the fact that you have the potential to become a war god, why would your aunt be so lenient with you!?"

"Now that your brother has become a martial artist, his genetic optimization is fine. He's tall and strong, so who else would you choose if not him?"

"Are you so great? So handsome? If you don't have children, plenty of others will!"

Six soft "slap slap slap" sounds rang out as the three Bai family women fiercely covered their cheeks.

It turned out that Bai Yang had made his move again. His movements were truly like a ghost, and he slapped each of them twice more at this distance.

"If you have the guts, say what you just said again. I'm listening."
