Chapter 49: The Reappearance of the Heavenly Book, Dark Tide Surges (Part 1)

  "I had given the Qiankun diagram to my junior sister before I went to find you. After returning, I discovered what had happened. I didn't directly ask my junior sister, but instead said that I wanted to pay respects to our master and thought of bringing the Qiankun diagram along for the ceremony. My junior sister was unaware of the trick and believed me, so she handed over the Qiankun diagram. I think she must have studied the Qiankun diagram for a long time during the year you were gone, but still didn't discover its secret. Plus, she thought that I, like you, was kept in the dark, so she felt at ease handing over the Qiankun diagram to me."

  "After I saw Master's note and the diagram of the universe, I didn't know how to face Little Sister and Little Brother, so I chose to escape. They saw that I didn't come back, of course they knew I discovered something, so they went everywhere looking for me. I secretly ran back and took out your daughter, remembering that night when we talked about naming her, so I helped her change her name to Xiao Die. Big Brother, Xiao Die is your and Little Sister's daughter." Lu Qingyun said slowly.

  "I have a daughter? I actually have a daughter! Who would have thought that Bai Chenggang also has a daughter!" Bai Chenggang said with a smile.

  "I thought about it over and over again, feeling that all the troubles were caused by the Qiankun diagram. So I decided to destroy it, but at that moment, I inadvertently discovered the secret of the Qiankun diagram. For years, I have been secretly following the guidance on the diagram to find the things in it. Finally, I was discovered by others and had to flee with Xiaodie to this desolate place. Who would have thought that we were still found out?" Lu Qingyun sighed.

  "Hum! Aren't you trying to swallow up the wealth in this Dry Universe Diagram?" White Chenggang did not back down, still with an aggressive tone.

  "Big Brother, you're already in your several tens of years, don't be stubborn anymore. How could I still be greedy for external things? This is just to fulfill Master's last wish. You can see the last page of the payment note yourself." Lu Qingyun didn't argue, but slowly explained.

  Bai Chenggang really did as Lu Qingyun said, finding his master's letter from the pair of letters and directly flipping to the last page, finishing reading it in an instant.

  "Big brother, Master heard that the descendants of General Qin Yi had died unjustly, and Yang Guang was a cruel person, rumored to have killed his father and deceived his mother, he's a tyrant. So Master wanted me to give the Heaven and Earth Diagram to Han King Yang Guang, to help him seize the throne." Lu Qingyun said.

  "What's on your mind now?" asked Bai Chenggang.

  "I have indeed been respectful of the teacher's orders, but as you've seen, my whereabouts have already been exposed. Many people are looking for me now, and even Little Sister and Little Brother know about it. They're currently working for the imperial court. I heard two years ago that they were working for Yang Xuangan; they won't let this matter rest. The only thing I couldn't put down is Little Butterfly's child. Now that you've come, take Little Butterfly away with you. I'll bring the Qiankun Map to find the Crown Prince of Hanwang Temple. After our failure back then, the temple was ravaged, and everyone in the household was killed. However, it's said that there's still a young prince alive. I had the fortune of meeting him once eight or nine years ago; even though so many years have passed, I'm sure I'll be able to recognize him when I see him."

  "With this diagram, he will surely be able to revive and avenge his father's death with my help." Lu Qingyun said slowly.

  "By the way, Big Brother, how did you find this place? How did you know that I and Xiao Die were hiding here?" Lu Qingyun suddenly asked, he was quite puzzled, as he and Xiao Die had only moved in not long ago. Little Brother and the others knew that it was because Yang Xuan wanted to get his hands on the Qian Kun diagram, so they spread out their search network and found them immediately.

  "I wasn't originally looking for you, after I lost to you that time, I went around seeking masters and finally found one, I joined a gang, the name of which is not worth mentioning, there I learned enough skills to counter the Great Eagle Claw Technique. This time I came with a mission, it just so happens this mission has something to do with your little brother." said Bai Chenggang.

  Bai Chenggang's words left everyone in the room confused, Lu Qingyun didn't understand, Ge Shuyun didn't understand, Xiao Shouren also didn't understand, and could even be said to be bewildered.

  "Didn't you understand? I just heard you call him Xiao Brother, but do you know if this Xiao Brother's full name is Xiao Shouren?" asked Bai Chenggang.

  "Not bad, right below, I don't know what you mean?" Xiao Shouren and Gesu Yun suddenly became vigilant.

  "Don't be nervous, thanks to you two, the grudges and grievances between us brothers can finally be resolved. I won't do anything to you, even if I wanted to, but now I'm powerless." White Chenggang said.

  "What exactly do you want to do?" Ge Shu Yun asked. Ge Shu Yun thought that this old man was helping the imperial court find Xiao Shou Ren, and if so, the danger for this assassin would increase greatly.

  "We heard that the Heavenly Book has reappeared, so I was sent to investigate. After arriving in the city, I confirmed the news about the Heavenly Book, and then I heard that Lord Xiao had been kidnapped. I thought I could just return and report back, but unexpectedly, I overheard a group of people discussing how to deal with a formidable figure. From their conversation, I inferred that they were likely targeting my long-lost junior brother. That's why I rushed over here, only to coincidentally run into Lord Xiao." White Chenggang explained slowly.

  "So that's how it is, now I understand, but I still don't know what connection there is between me and that so-called Heavenly Book? Moreover, what exactly is this Heavenly Book?" Xiao Shouren asked in confusion.

  "Doesn't General Xiao know what the Heavenly Book is?" Bai Chenggang asked Xiao Shouren in surprise.

  "What's so strange about it?" Xiao Shouren asked slowly, "Is there really something I don't know?"

  "But the heavenly book that appeared was written by you yourself, don't tell me you don't even know what you wrote?" Bai Chenggang asked.

  "Huh? What's that book all about?" Xiao Shouren asked with a furrowed brow.

  "This Tian Shu is really mysterious, and it all started with the Tai Shang Dao." Bai Chenggang's face turned very strange when he heard Xiao Shouren ask him what Tian Shu was. To put it simply, he looked disbelieving, as if Xiao Shouren was telling a lie. However, after thinking about it, he felt that it wasn't possible for Xiao Shouren to deceive him, because he had already proven that the Tian Shu was real.
