Chapter 377: Qi Long
In the afternoon, Luo Ningyu brought two maids and some luggage with her to the carriage.
The two maids that Luo Ningyu brought looked delicate and fair. Their bodies looked delicate and fragile, but Lin Bai noticed them. Their footsteps were steady and powerful, and their eyes were sharp and fearless... Clearly, their cultivation was not low.
Luo Ningyu walked to Lin Bai’s side with light steps.
The two maids carried bags of different sizes and entered the first carriage of the convoy.
“There are some matters in the city that took up a lot of time. I’ve made young master Lin wait for a long time.” Luo Ningyu’s smile was like the spring wind. It seemed to make the sun s.h.i.+ne brighter as she expressed her apology.
Lin Bai shook his head to show that he did not mind.
After all, the departure time they agreed on was in the afternoon. It could be said that Luo Ningyu arrived on time.
Luo Ningyu s.h.i.+fted her seat and came to the shade of the tree. Her long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly as she scanned the convoy and said,
“We will be there in about five days. During this period, Young Master Lin can rest in the carriage. I have also arranged for people to prepare the carriage for you. I believe that someone has already brought young master there, right?”
Lin Bai nodded and looked into the distance. He asked, “Who are those three?”
In the middle of the convoy, there was a man with a frivolous gaze who kept glancing at the women in the convoy. He had a piece of dog tail gra.s.s in his mouth.
At this moment, he looked frivolous and vulgar, but Lin Bai could tell that this person’s cultivation was profound and not simple.
Similarly, there were two carriages in the back half of the convoy. One of them was a white-haired old man, and the other was a quiet scholar. The cultivation of these two people was also not simple.
......
“These three people are the helpers that I found.” Luo Ningyu did not hide anything. “Of course, they are here to protect the convoy.”
The meaning behind Luo Ningyu’s words was that only the two of them knew the true purpose of this trip. These three people were hired by Luo Ningyu to protect the convoy.
“Young Master Lin, do you think that what I am doing is unethical?” Luo Ningyu looked into Lin Bai’s eyes.
Lin Bai shook his head. “People die for money and birds die for food. They know the danger of this trip, but they still promised Miss Luo because of money. There’s nothing dishonest about it.”
Luo Ningyu seemed to be very satisfied with Lin Bai’s answer. She smiled lightly, and her laughter was like pearls falling onto a jade plate. It made Lin Bai’s heart brighten a lot.
“I have a question.” Lin Bai went straight to the point.
Luo Ningyu blinked her beautiful eyes. Her long, thin eyelashes fluttered, and her eyes were s.h.i.+ning. She said, “Please speak.”
“Doesn’t your organization have any requirements regarding the confidentiality of the mission?”
Lin Bai had wanted to ask this question for a long time.
What he meant was that if she brought these three people to solve the trouble they met on the road, wouldn’t she be afraid that the matter would be spread?
“Of course there are requirements.” Luo Ningyu didn’t deny it, “However, how we complete the mission is up to us. As long as we don’t reveal the existence of the organization, as long as we don’t reveal the name of the organization, and as long as we don’t reveal the other members of the organization, then you can complete the mission however you want.”
Lin Bai became more and more curious about this organization.
What benefits could this organization gain from solving those problems that were difficult and unrewarding?
However, after Lin Bai asked a few more questions, Luo Ningyu only smiled and did not answer.
“If young master Lin wants to know more details, why don’t you join us?”
A smile appeared on Luo Ningyu’s face. It was dignified and holy. This dignified and holy smile resonated with that astonis.h.i.+ng curve. It could not help but make people want to desecrate it.
Lin Bai swallowed his saliva and said, “I will consider it.”
Lin Bai was now filled with curiosity about this organization. However, he still had some doubts about whether he should join it or not. If this organization could obtain the whereabouts of the City Lord before others, then the strength of the organization was unquestionable. However, the problem was that this organization was too mysterious, making Lin Bai unable to fathom it..
Luo Ningyu bowed:
“Then, I still have some things to deal with here, and the convoy has to start. If Young Master Lin still has any questions, feel free to look for me at any time, or Rong Ziyi.”
Lin Bai nodded.
Luo Ningyu then turned her graceful body and walked towards the front of the convoy.
“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s ho!”
Not long after, a man’s shout came from the front of the convoy.
The people who were originally resting under the shade of the trees or chatting idly and bored all stood up and packed their luggage before entering the convoy that was about to set off.
Lin Bai also entered the carriage that had been prepared beforehand and sat down cross-legged. In front of him were prepared fruits, dried fruits, snacks, and a full pot of tea.
“If Young Master Lin Bai needs anything else, feel free to ask.”
Rong Ziyi sat on his horse outside Lin Bai’s carriage and said as he bent his body slightly.
Luo Ningyu had told him that if Lin Bai had any needs, he must satisfy them. Rong Ziyi did not dare to be careless.
After a period of interaction, Rong Ziyi found that Lin Bai was a very easy person to get along with. His every move was elegant.
Furthermore, Rong Ziyi could feel the terrifying cultivation level contained within Lin Bai’s every move.
“Sigh! How boring!”
At this moment, a person jumped up high and landed lightly in Lin Bai’s carriage. His movements were elegant and frivolous.
Lin Bai frowned slightly. This person was the person who was frivolous but had extraordinary cultivation.
“My name is Qi Long.” Qi Long sat next to Lin Bai as if he was familiar with him. He picked up a few dried fruits and threw them into his mouth. Then, he poured himself a cup of tea.
“Tsk, the treatment here is much better than my place! Miss Luo is really biased!”
Qi Long complained with a smile. His frivolous eyes were sizing up Lin Bai, whether intentionally or not, as if he wanted to get an answer from him.
“In that case, brother Qi, you can come here often.” Lin Bai smiled politely. “I’m Lin Bai.”
“Lin Bai... ?”
Qi Long rolled his eyes and suddenly slapped his thigh. “The Lin Bai who was slandered by the demon in the city?”
Lin Bai did not hide his ident.i.ty. On the contrary, if he revealed it, it would save him a lot of unnecessary trouble.
“No wonder Miss Luo treats you specially.”
The two of them started chatting again. Every time Qi Long talked about the girl in the carriage and Luo Ningyu, Lin Bai would only listen to him and not answer.
Outside the carriage, Rong Ziyi let out a long sigh of relief when he saw Lin Bai and Qi long talking. He was afraid that Qi Long’s frivolous personality would make Lin Bai unhappy... At that time, he would be the one who would be in trouble.
The sky gradually darkened. After driving for some distance under the night sky, the convoy found a relatively s.p.a.cious and flat place and also rested.
“Come, let’s finish our meal!”
