Simultaneous Transmigration: Freedom Across the Heavens
Chapter 57 All things are born
At dawn, in Dengjia Village in Northeast China, wisps of smoke rise from every household, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.
In the courtyard, Deng Baolu sat on a stone bench, humming a tune, teasing a cricket.
Ta-da!
Deng Baosong passed by him carrying a large iron basin with a few goose feathers still stuck to the rim. He casually called out, "Brother Baolu, I've caught two more geese. We'll have stewed goose in an iron pot for lunch."
Deng Baolu wailed and complained, "You've been eating stewed goose in an iron pot every day, I think you're the goose now. Bao Song, can't you make something else? We've been eating goose for half a month already."
Deng Baosong pretended not to hear and kept walking.
He loves to eat braised goose in an iron pot. Since the stove has been handed over to me, I can cook whatever I want to eat.
Inside the house, Guan Shihua sat cross-legged on the earthen bed, talking on the phone. "Is that so? Thank you for informing me, Chairman Feng..."
After hanging up the phone, Guan Shihua stared blankly at her phone screen, then suddenly chuckled softly, "Hehehe, Quanxing, huh?"
"Sigh!" Guan Shihua raised her old eyes, her gaze filled with complex emotions, including hatred, sighs, and a touch of melancholy.
He slowly moved off the kang (a heated brick bed), pushed open the door, and said, "Bao Lu, get ready, we're going to City B."
"Yes, ancestor."
Deng Baolu hurriedly got up, and without saying a word, swept the crickets away. He wished he could fly to City B right now, so he wouldn't have to eat stewed goose in an iron pot anymore.
Longhu Mountain remains sunny and breezy.
Today is the last day of the Luo Tian Grand Ritual, where the successor to the Heavenly Master will be decided.
But the atmosphere at the stadium was different from usual, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
Wang Ai, one of the Ten Elders, died tragically last night in the back mountains of Longhu Mountain. All the strange people present were worried that they would be caught in the crossfire.
Of the Wang family members who came to Longhu Mountain, only Wang Ke and Wang Yuan remained on the mountain anxiously awaiting news.
The rest of the Wang family members left one by one to return and stabilize their own businesses.
Everyone knew that with Wang Ai's death, the Wang family went from being a "top-tier bully" to a "paper tiger that is strong on the outside but weak on the inside."
Industries across the country will suffer a devastating blow. Small families and independent individuals who were previously suppressed by the Wang family will pounce on them like hungry wolves and take a big bite.
During the match, the referee shouted, "Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao!"
The two put on a farcical show of mutual squabbling, igniting the audience. Everyone was already uneasy about Wang Ai's death; how dare they put on this act without any shame?
"Kill him! Kill this shameless bastard!"
"Kill him! Kill him!"
"Something terrible has happened!" Zhang Chulan grabbed Feng Baobao and ran for his life. "Run, Baobao-jie!"
The two quickly made their escape. Feng Baobao protested, "My incredibly realistic acting was completely exposed?"
Bai Li appeared out of nowhere, leaning against the railing in the audience, laughing heartily: "Hahahaha! Zhang Chulan is still so energetic."
"Bai Li?"
Xu San was taken aback when he saw him, then his face darkened, and he said, "If you turn yourself in now, we can still apply to the company for leniency. You've overstepped your bounds."
Bai Li's expression remained natural as he glanced indifferently at Xu San and Xu Si. "I don't understand what you're saying."
"A wild goose leaves its cry as it flies past, and a person leaves their mark as they pass by."
Xu Si took a drag of his cigarette and slowly exhaled it through his nose. "You had a conflict with Wang Ai, and then he died. Do you think we, the company, are all fools?"
Xu San added, "You withdrew from the competition yesterday, then disappeared for a whole day, followed by Wang Bing being kidnapped by Lü Liang, and Wang Ai being murdered that night. Can you explain that clearly?"
Of course, it's hard to say. The world of supernatural beings is neither governed by law nor protected by law.
If the company suspects you, and you are also a suspect, then you can simply walk across the bench. The truth will be judged by you, and the right to interpret the facts rests entirely with the company.
Bai Li understood this perfectly.
The reason why La Feng Zheng Hao went into the water is because he is also one of the Ten Elders and can communicate with those above him.
And now...
Bai Li looked up at the sky and casually said, "What's there to be unclear about? I spent yesterday with Fei Yue and Sha Yan from day to night."
"Heh." Xu San sneered. This excuse was far too perfunctory.
Xu Si also sighed, wondering if the Dark Fortress would allow Bai Li to write his book inside.
At this moment, Zhang Chulan ran over, panting heavily. He held his waist and said, "I'm so tired, so exhausted. Bao'er and I went around in circles, but we finally managed to shake off those guys."
Feng Baobao walked over calmly and greeted Bai Li, "Bai Li, you're here? Xu San said you did something big and he wants to arrest you for questioning."
"Cough cough, baby, you don't need to say that." Xu San quickly jumped over and covered her mouth.
The atmosphere suddenly became eerie.
Zhang Chulan looked left and right, then quietly took two steps back, and said with an awkward laugh, "Brother Bai, don't listen to Sister Bao'er's nonsense. Third Brother is just joking, just joking."
Bai Li stared blankly at the clouds on the horizon, then suddenly spoke, "Feng Baobao, do you want to know who your father is?"
Upon hearing this, Xu San, Xu Si, and Zhang Chulan were all stunned.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Feng Baobao shook off Zhang San's hand, her eyes blazing, and took two steps forward, urgently saying, "Do you know who my father is? Tell me quickly!"
"Baby, calm down."
Xu San realized what was happening and stepped in front of Feng Baobao, saying, "He might be lying to you."
Xu Si abandoned his usual nonchalance, his body tensing, his eyes sharp as an eagle's. "Bai Li, what do you know?"
Zhang Chulan stopped joking and said, "Brother Bai, this joke isn't funny at all."
Bai Li ignored the three people's reactions and continued, "Feng Baobao, you woke up in a cave in Sichuan in 1944 and were found by Xu Xiang's parents, right?"
"Yes, yes."
Feng Baobao nodded, then quickly covered her mouth with her hand and muttered softly, "Gouwazi told me not to say these things."
Zhang Chulan's expression changed. He stood in front of Feng Baobao and winked at Xu San, asking, "What should we do?"
Before they could act, Feng Baobao pushed past the three and rushed in front of Bai Li again, "Tell me quickly, who is my father? What will it take for you to tell me?"
"Baby!"
"Sister Bao'er!"
Feng Baobao waved her hand, signaling them not to interfere.
After searching for her family for many years, she finally saw a glimmer of hope. No matter the cost, she was determined to find out the truth.
Bai Li didn't set any conditions, but said directly, "Your father is also an extraordinary person, surnamed Feng, with the given name Yao."
Feng Baobao lowered her head, her eyes filled with confusion yet also a sense of familiarity, and murmured repeatedly, "Feng Yao, Feng Yao."
Zhang Chulan frowned, his tone full of vigilance: "How do we know you're telling the truth? What if you just made up a name? It'll be like searching for a needle in a haystack for us to find it!"
"Feng Yao is his real name."
Bai Li's lips curled into an amused smile. "Back when he was traveling the martial arts world, he gave himself another name, Wugensheng (meaning Rootless).
"Rootless!!"
These three words were like three thunderclaps, exploding in the ears of Zhang Chulan, Xu San, and Xu Si!
Wu Gensheng! The source of the chaos that caused the Jia Shen Rebellion, he is the most legendary and mysterious figure in the world of supernatural beings!
Feng Baobao's eyes lit up, widening in surprise; she had heard of this name before.
Bai Li didn't give them time to ask further questions, and continued, "The evidence is in the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley. If you don't believe me, go find it yourselves."
Zhang Chulan and the other two looked at each other, their hearts filled with turbulent emotions.
Bai Li's words were logical and coherent, connecting with what Zhang Huaiyi said before his death.
But if Feng Baobao really is Wugensheng's daughter, then things will be very serious.
"Brother Bai, what exactly do you want from all this?" Zhang Chulan suppressed his shock and asked.
Bai Li straightened up, brushed the dust off his hands, and said, "Didn't I already say that I was with Fei Yue and Sha Yan all day yesterday?"
After saying that, he turned and left.
This statement seemed completely unrelated to Zhang Chulan's question, but all three understood what he meant.
This is to have Xu San and Xu Si vouch for him and clear him of suspicion in killing Wang Ai.
Zhang Chulan looked at the two of them and said helplessly, "Third Brother, Fourth Brother, what should we do?"
"What else can we do?"
Xu Si spat out the cigarette butt from his mouth. In his surprise, he had bitten off half of the cigarette, leaving his mouth full of strange taste. "He's dragged me onto this pirate ship."
Zhang Chulan, however, had a different opinion.
A smile crept across his face as he said meaningfully, "Fourth Brother, maybe it's him we've dragged onto this pirate ship!"
Xu San and Xu Si reacted quickly.
Right!
Feng Baobao's background is of great importance, involving the secrets of Wugensheng and the Thirty-Six Thieves. The death of Wang Ai is nothing compared to this!
"Hehehehe."
Xu Si chuckled and took out his phone to call Zhao Fangxu. "Hey, Mr. Zhao, we've found out that Bai Li was in the same room with Lu Feiyue and Feng Shayan yesterday."
"Yes, yes, yes, a whole day and night..."
After hanging up, Xu Si dialed another number. "Hey, Mr. Lu, I have something to tell you. The investigation into Wang Ai's murder has been completed, and it has nothing to do with Bai Li..."
"Hey, President Feng... Don't worry, it's just a misunderstanding."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Si chuckled and said, "It concerns the murder of the Ten Elders, so it's reasonable for me to inform the other Ten Elders, isn't it?"
Xu San and Zhang Chulan didn't say anything, they just silently gave each other a thumbs up.
