Chapter 374: Luo Ningyu
“Those people from the Alchemist a.s.sociation... They wanted to clear their names, so they decided to reconcile with us. They don’t have good intentions!”
The thin man’s face was gloomy as he sat on the stone bench. He looked ahead at the two small beasts, one black and one blue, fighting until the sky was dark.
They were really energetic!
The thin man sighed deeply in his heart.
After the battle with the City Lord, he was heavily injured. Now, his wounds were mostly gone, but his body and head still seemed to be filled with lead water. He needed quite a bit of time to recuperate.
Lin Bai was also sitting on the stone bench. With one hand, he was touching Little Green, who was lying cross-legged on his knee. He felt a gentle touch on Little Green’s scale armor, which could not help but calm Lin Bai’s heart.
He was holding a few letters in his right hand:
City Lord’s estate, Secret Chamber, latest information.
The first fake secret chamber was intact. Blood and corpses were found in it, and the entrance of the true secret chamber was found under a groove.
Most of the tunnels in the true secret room had collapsed, and a few corpses were found in the remaining tunnels. They had been devoured by Devil Qi, and they looked very cruel.
At the end of the tunnel, there was a shape that looked like an altar.
The remaining traces were being investigated.
…
Another letter:
I didn’t expect you to act so decisively... have you made your decision?
…
Lin Bai touched the Little Green scale armor’s hand and snapped his fingers in the air. He grabbed the letter with his right hand and threw it up.
Boom!
A small fireball with hot air swept over and burned the envelope in the air.
“F * ck! You scared me!”
The thin man felt a terrifying fireball on his back and jumped up from the stone bench.
When he saw that the fireball was not aimed at him, he heaved a deep sigh of relief, but his face was already deathly pale.
Little Green was lying comfortably on Lin Bai’s knee, as if it was already used to this scene. It did not even lift its eyelids.
This letter was sent to him by the Alchemist a.s.sociation. As for the other letter…
The Great Elder of the Alchemist a.s.sociation had brought Chu Changfeng to look for Lin Bai several times over the past two days.
As for the purpose of his visit, it was to inquire about the situation inside the secret chamber.
The position of City Lord was extremely important, but he was a demon in disguise. Not only that, the demon had also made his way out of the secret chamber and done some extremely tragic things..
As the “Demon City Lords"” previous henchmen, The Alchemist a.s.sociation naturally had to give someone an explanation now.
Although the Alchemist a.s.sociation had a special status in the city, and even if they didn’t give an explanation, it wouldn’t affect their influence. However, the Grand Elder’s request was obviously higher, and he wasn’t satisfied with the current situation.
“What plans do you have in the future?”
After the thin man calmed down, he wiped off the thin sweat on his forehead and turned to look at Lin Bai.
He and the fat man had always been wandering around. Now that the matters in the city had come to an end, it was time for them to make their next move.
After all, apart from hard work and hard work, the most important thing for a cultivator was luck.
If a cultivator with ordinary talent wanted to reach the highest point step by step and look down on all things in the sky, it would be a daydream if they didn’t have luck.
It was not just ordinary cultivators with ordinary talent, or cultivators with ordinary talent, who had already come to a conclusion about the trajectory of their lives.
Good fortune was something that could not be obtained. It was a mysterious thing, and every good fortune hid a great danger. The slightest carelessness would result in their deaths.
Just like him and fatty, their cultivation had stagnated for many years before, but this time, they encountered the good fortune of Lin Bai and the City Lord, and even narrowly escaped with their lives.
If he had made any of the previous choices, even if he had made the wrong one, the thin man would not be sitting next to Lin Bai like now, leisurely drinking tea to pa.s.s the day.
Lin Bai picked up the tea on the stone table, took a sip, and tasted its charm. Just as he was about to open his mouth, Elder s.h.i.+ hurried into the courtyard.
Just as he stepped into the courtyard, he caught a glimpse of two figures, one black and one blue, engaged in a fierce fight.
Elder s.h.i.+ shook his head and sighed deeply:
Sigh!!!
If there was anything that could give Elder s.h.i.+, this dedicated Butler, a headache after Bai Xi survived the disaster, it would be Little Black and Little Blue.
In that case, Little Black and Little Blue would definitely be the number one headache!
With the thought of not seeing and not being bothered, Elder s.h.i.+ resolutely retracted his gaze and tried his best to restrain himself from looking at those two “Unlucky fellows”!
Lin Bai noticed the change in Elder s.h.i.+’s expression, and an awkward expression flashed across his face as he asked,
“Elder s.h.i.+, what are you doing?”
When Elder s.h.i.+ first entered the courtyard, there was a hint of anxiety on his face. He must have come back with some important news.
“Could it be that someone is looking for trouble?!”
As the thin man spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, and his eyes shone.
Previously, after his cultivation had broken through, not only did he not feel the pleasure of breaking through, but he was also beaten half to death by the City Lord. His heart was filled with grievance, and he wanted to find someone to spar with.
But now, there was an undercurrent in the city, and every faction was closely watching the position of the City Lord. This also caused the friction between the various factions to temporarily ease up... He simply could not find a fight.
It was not that he had never thought of fighting with Lin Bai. However, with just one move, he was defeated…
Elder s.h.i.+ shook his head and sighed silently. The thin man in front of him and the Fatty in the inner room were also troublemakers. These days, they had given him quite a headache.
Out of sight, out of mind, out of sight, out of mind!
Elder s.h.i.+ ignored the thin man and looked at Lin Bai. “There’s someone outside asking for an audience. They say it’s a person from Yong City, Luo Ningyu.”
Lin Bai frowned. A person from Yong City, Luo Ningyu…
“Heh, young master Lin’s reputation is well-known. Yong city is thousands of miles away, yet he came to propose marriage. Tsk, how envious!”
The skinny man’s face was full of envy, but he was actually joking. After all, who would come thousands of miles away to propose marriage?
“Then please come in.” Lin Bai nodded.
Lin Bai had heard of Yong City.
It was an independent city-state that did not belong to any country thousands of miles north of the city.
Before Fu Hu left, he had said that he was going to Yong City next.
Could there be a connection between the two?
With this guess, Lin Bai planned to meet Luo Ningyu.
Elder s.h.i.+ nodded and turned to leave the courtyard. Lin Bai also stopped the two unwilling little beasts.
Not long after, a woman dressed in white, with skin as smooth as cream, slender eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, walked into the courtyard with light steps.
The woman’s curves were well-proportioned and heavy... one side of her white dress would occasionally reveal a pair of white dangling legs.
However, the woman’s figure was extremely alluring, but her entire body exuded an aura that was isolated from the mortal world and could only be seen from afar and could not be touched…
Splat!
The teacup in the skinny man’s hand fell from his hand and shattered into pieces on the ground.
Only then did he withdraw his gaze and regain his senses. He lowered his head in embarra.s.sment.
“I believe you are that Young Master Lin...” The woman’s lips were curled into a smile. There seemed to be a deep pool in her clear eyes. One could not tell what she was thinking:
“I am Luo Ningyu. I have heard of Young Master Lin’s reputation and I have come to meet you.”
