White Jade Reborn, Watching Live Broadcast

In the garden of the White Jade Palace, there were three lounge chairs and three low tables. Opposite them, a water mirror the size of a millstone floated in the air.

This mirror was a magical artifact left by Emperor Donghua, capable of clearly showing events in every space and concerning every person in the mortal realm.

Legend had it that the Queen Mother of the West had replicated her own Qiankun Mirror, but it lacked the ability to traverse time and space or to confine dimensions.

On the three low tables were laid out: Golden Phoenix Wine, Fragrant Spring Wine, and Nine Foot Platform wine, among other immortal brews;

Queen Mother Longevity Peaches, Golden Jade Grapes, and Golden Loquats, along with various other immortal fruits;

Lotus Flower Pastries, Pea Flour Cakes, and Flower Cakes, and all sorts of other delicacies.

These were all obtained by the White Deer Immortal, who shamelessly borrowed the Queen Mother's name to solicit them from various estates in the Immortal Realm.

For this live broadcast of Bai Yu and Qing Shi's tribulation in the mortal realm, she had invited Ancestor Lu over early.

As soon as Ancestor Lu arrived, he grabbed a pot of Golden Phoenix Wine from a table and lay down on a chair, drinking it.

The White Deer Immortal recalled compiling the mortal realm's Chart of Heavenly Karma with Chen Tuan and thought he might be able to help. To show her sincerity, she personally went to invite him to the feast.

After a crane's cry, a White Crane landed in the garden, and the White Deer Immortal and Chen Renfeng jumped down from its back. Chen Renfeng had been dragged along and was upset he couldn't go to the mortal realm to find Chen Qing and Bai Yu.

At this moment, Ancestor Lu had already drained the pot of Golden Phoenix Wine, his face flushed red.

Ancestor Lu, slightly tipsy, greeted them. The White Deer Immortal grabbed a bunch of grapes from a plate, plucked one, and popped it into Ancestor Lu's mouth, eating one herself as well.

Chen Renfeng paid his respects to Ancestor Lu and sat down next to him. The White Crane stood obediently behind him.

Spiritual Energy flowed from the White Deer Immortal's fingertips, and with a wave forward, the water mirror displayed a scene from the mortal realm: a mortal mansion where a little girl was playing.

Chen Renfeng had come with the White Deer because he wanted to take this opportunity to find the whereabouts of a jade pendant; he had been searching fruitlessly in the mortal realm. As soon as he sat down, he thought of how he used to watch wuxia films at home.

The White Deer Immortal sat cross-legged on her chair, laughing heartily as she ate grapes, carelessly spitting the skins onto the ground. Chen Renfeng generously offered a plate of Flower Cakes to the White Crane behind him.

Ancestor Lu, bored by the spectacle and having drunk too much, yawned and got up, intending to go back and rest.

The White Deer Immortal was displeased and grabbed Ancestor Lu's sleeve, saying, "Your Excellency, please stay a little longer."

Ancestor Lu shook his head and said, "Watching Bai Yu reborn in the mortal realm is so boring. When I first arrived, it was so interesting watching Qing Shi wander around the mortal realm!"

The White Deer Immortal tossed the grapes in her hand back into the plate and, glaring at Chen Tuan across the space between them and Ancestor Lu, said fiercely, "Qing Shi was reborn as a little prince and was living well, but he had to lose his mother and wander around with a scruffy Taoist. Look at him, living like a little beggar, suffering so much."

Chen Renfeng said aggrievedly, "Supreme Immortal, this is the Heavenly Dao's karma. You can't blame me."

Ancestor Lu, seeing this, stopped trying to leave. He sat down and casually said, "Bai Yu's life has just begun. Let's continue watching..."

The world displayed in the water mirror showed the Southern Expedition Country, Shànchǎn City, Marquis Gao's mansion.

After lunch, four children were playing with Moro dolls in the courtyard. These clay figures were shaped entirely by the children's skillful hands, then adorned with clothes and hats, making them lifelike.

"Bingxue, let me see yours!" said the tall boy.

"Just a moment, it'll be ready soon!" the little girl replied sweetly.

"Give it here!" The tall boy snatched it away, held it up, and examined it, laughing, "Who is this clay figure you made?"

"It's my daddy! Give it back, give it back!" the little girl cried, trying to snatch it. Being small, she couldn't reach. Two other boys, one short and one fat, joined in the teasing.

In the struggle, the little girl scratched the tall boy. He pushed her away and cursed, "You little bastard, get away from me." Then he threw the clay figure in front of her, smashing it to pieces.

The little girl fell but didn't cry. After being cursed, a fierce glint appeared in her eyes. She got up and charged, knocking the tall boy down. She pinned him, hitting and cursing him, "Gao Lianghu, you're the little bastard! Pay for my clay figure."

The tall boy was the eldest son of Marquis Gao's eldest son and was usually arrogant. He couldn't shake off the frantic grip of Gao Bingxue, his second uncle's daughter, and hurriedly shouted, "Liangcheng, Mowei, pull her off quickly."

Gao Liangcheng was Gao Lianghu's own brother, and Gao Mowei was his third uncle's son.

Gao Bingxue, small and weak, was quickly pulled aside by Gao Liangcheng and Gao Mowei and pinned to the ground. Gao Lianghu got up, menacingly stepped on Gao Bingxue's face, and cursed, "You are the little bastard. Even the mansion's servants know your mother was with some random man. Pity that Second Uncle still treasures you..."

"Let me go! Gao Lianghu, you're slandering me! I'll rip your mouth open!" Gao Bingxue, pinned tightly to the ground, was so angry her eyes turned red.

"Come on! Come on! You little bastard!" Gao Lianghu angrily began kicking Gao Bingxue. He hated that his second mother had embarrassed him in front of his friends. There was also a secret: his second uncle had found a new dancer outside, Liu Qian'e, who had given him benefits and told him to cause trouble.

Gao Bingxue took several fierce kicks to her chest and head, then lay on the ground, eyes closed, motionless.

"She's dead? Brother, you beat little sister to death!" Gao Liangcheng let go, his face pale with fright, and retreated to the side.

Gao Lianghu's face also changed, and he squatted down to check if she was still breathing. As his hand reached below her nose, Gao Bingxue suddenly opened her eyes and punched him in the chest.

Gao Lianghu felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer. He flew backward, crashing to the ground, blood flowing from his nose and mouth, his chest bones caved in. He looked like he wouldn't survive.

The three children, simultaneously terrified, got up and ran into the house, shouting for adults. Gao Bingxue returned to her mother's room and crawled under the table, touching her fist, unable to believe it.

On Penglai Immortal Island, in the garden of the White Jade Palace, a bolt of heavenly lightning struck the White Deer Immortal. She transformed into her beast form, her back torn open. Her cultivation, visibly from the peak of Golden Immortal Grand Perfection, began to loosen, and her Karma Value dropped to eight million.

Ancestor Lu, seeing this, cursed, "You reckless fool! Why didn't the heavenly lightning strike you dead!"

The White Deer transformed back into human form and sat weakly on the ground.

Chen Renfeng quickly said, "Supreme Immortal White Deer, since the Chart of Heavenly Karma was activated, Lord of Mount Tai has already created the Five Quarters Karma Records, which are now in operation in the mortal realm. Anyone who dares to interfere will surely be struck by heavenly lightning."

The White Deer Immortal was helped up by the White Crane. She said weakly, "I felt sorry for Bai Yu and acted to teach that brat a lesson..."

Ancestor Lu stood up and said, "Disperse, everyone." Shaking his head, he angrily left.

The White Deer Immortal did not try to persuade Ancestor Lu to stay any longer. She turned and asked Chen Renfeng, "Will Bai Yu be affected?"

Chen Renfeng sighed, "Killing the future third-generation Shànchǎn Marquis has reduced her Karma Value by one thousand!"

The White Deer anxiously asked, "Can it still be changed?"

Chen Renfeng pointed to the sky and asked, "Does the Supreme Immortal wish to receive another bolt of heavenly lightning?"

White Deer glared at him, waved her hand, and looked towards the water mirror.

In the dungeon of the Gao residence in Shànchǎn Prefecture, Southern Expedition Country. Gao Bingxue and her mother were imprisoned because she accidentally killed her brother. Three days passed without a drop of water.

In the dark dungeon, the mother and daughter drifted in and out of sleep. Gao Bingxue woke up and cried, "Mother, I'm cold!"

Her mother, a beautiful woman, held her close and comforted her.

"Mother, I'm hungry!" Gao Bingxue weakly called out.

"Xue'er, Mother is hungry too. Just bear with it for now. Your uncle will come to save us."

"Mother, where is Father? When will he save us? Uncle's home is too far away."

"Xue'er, your father... your father must have been delayed by something."

At this moment, a lantern accompanied by footsteps entered. Ten steps away, a loud voice called out, "Second sister-in-law, you have suffered! Your little brother has arrived late!"

Hearing this, Gao Bingxue got up from her mother's embrace, clung to two wooden pillars, and shouted, "Third Uncle, we are here."
