Bai Zhi helped Bai Xin up, and after everything that had just happened, she still felt lingering fear and immediately hugged Bai Zhi tightly, trembling all over.
"It’s okay, auntie, he’s not to be feared. Don’t be scared, I’m here."
She was just a little girl, but at this moment, she gave Bai Xin a special sense of security.
"We... let’s go back..."
Bai Xin just wanted to leave quickly with Xingxing; Bai Da was really too frightening, he had truly gone mad.
"Auntie, wait for me for a moment."
Bai Zhi looked at Bai Da and directly took out the Golden Needle, ready to stab it into his body. Bai Xin grabbed Bai Zhi, looking at her with confusion.
It was confusion, but not that she felt Xingxing was wrong.
"Auntie, he’s very dangerous. I just temporarily sealed his strength, or else we would be in great danger, just like you said earlier, right?"
Bai Zhi naturally understood what Bai Xin meant, and so she began to explain. At that moment, she was grateful that she had apprenticed and practiced Golden Needle every midnight. Her master had said that, because of her strength, she was best suited for this set of needle techniques. She had only memorized the acupoints and knew some of their uses.
Bai Xin also remembered what had just happened and nodded forcefully. After removing the Golden Needle, she intended to leave with Bai Zhi,
"Just wait for me a moment."
Bai Zhi directly went to Bai Yu and Bai Ye’s room, sealed the acupoints in the same way, and started beating them.
Both were extremely terrified. They couldn’t speak or move; they could only be subjected to Bai Zhi’s beating and felt unbearable pain.
After finishing, Bai Zhi went out, not forgetting to throw Medicine Powder.
When they woke up the next day, they would feel much better.
As for Bai Da, they had left him in the courtyard and even thoughtfully closed the door for him; how considerate.
On the way back, Bai Xin’s legs were still a bit weak. Having walked through Ghost Gate, she was now frantic and wanted to speak, but her throat was very sore.
"I’ll go make you some herbal medicine, it might make you feel better."
Though she hadn’t studied medicine formally, she knew the effects of each herb and could still manage a simple brew.
Due to the soap, she brought back many herbs, and soon Bai Zhi came back with some for Bai Xin to drink.
Bai Xin did not hesitate; she drank it down in one go, and the coolness relieved her throat quite a bit.
At this moment, she looked at Xingxing, tightly holding her hand.
"Let’s talk tomorrow. Let your throat rest."
Bai Zhi smiled, comforting Bai Xin. She knew Bai Xin had a lot to say, and she wanted to know too, but now was not the time.
Bai Xin nodded, heavily laden with worry, and lay down. Her mind was in turmoil, wondering why Bai Da would want to kill her just because he was afraid she would speak about the past?
Her brother, Bai Da, was terrifying. Bai Xin thought she would toss and turn, but she fell asleep not long after.
And Bai Zhi fell asleep too.
In the middle of the night, Bai Da woke up frozen, finding himself lying in the courtyard, his body aching all over. Even getting up was very difficult, and he was momentarily bewildered, not knowing what had happened.
Why was he in the courtyard?
Meanwhile, Er Bai in the room was finally able to move; that feeling of being able to move only their eyeballs while their bodies were uncontrollable was finally gone. How could Bai Zhi be so powerful?
A new day arrived, and the first thing Bai Zhi did was check the soap and shampoo, pulling Wu Wa along to try them.
