Chapter 96: The Enemy Of An Enemy Is A Friend
On the other side, He Qicheng had been waiting for a long time for the four of them to come.
“This is strange. They have been gone for so long, but why haven’t they come back yet? Logically speaking, they’ve had more than enough to deal with that stinky brat. I even asked them to bring water-type magic artefacts to counter that stinky brat’s Red Luan Bird.”
He Linsheng immediately felt a little uneasy. When he recalled his battle with Lin Bai, he couldn’t help but say, “That person is a little strange. Could something have happened to the four of them?”
He Qicheng shook his head and said, “That’s impossible.”
If it was anyone else, He Qicheng might not be sure. These four people were his right-hand men, and their cultivation levels were a few levels higher than Lin Bai’s. To be on the safe side, he even asked them to attack together. No matter how he looked at it, Lin Bai wouldn’t be able to escape even if he had wings.
Soon, news came back. They found four corpses in the dense forest not far away from the Spirit Gathering Pavilion.
He Qicheng and He Linsheng’s expressions changed.
“Looks like we underestimated this brat.”
He Linsheng punched the wall, his expression filled with unwillingness. “Then what should we do now?”
“According to the latest news, this brat has already met with the Alchemist a.s.sociation. We can’t do anything to him for a while. After all, it wouldn’t make sense to attack him in the Alchemist a.s.sociation’s territory.”
No matter how indignant He Linsheng was, he could only accept so. “Should we tell uncle about this?”
He Qicheng shook his head. There was a moment of guilt on his face. If He Fan knew that he was acting behind his back, didn’t listen to his orders, and secretly made a move on Lin Bai, he would inevitably be scolded.
“Forget it. It’s better not to tell him. We didn’t succeed anyway, and it won’t affect anything. Even if Lin Bai knows that we made a move, what can he do? Could it be that he still wants to find us?”
As the father and son were discussing, He Qicheng’s gaze turned cold. “Who’s at the door? Show yourself!”
At the same time, a strong force rushed towards the door. The door was pushed open abruptly, and a slender figure stumbled in. It was a young servant girl with a tray in her hand. She spoke while trembling.
“Master, I’m here to deliver medicine to young master He.”
He Qicheng’s gaze was like a sharp sword sweeping across her body. The servant girl was trembling in fear, like a frightened quail. She did not even dare to breathe loudly.
“Then why are you standing at the door sneakily?”
“Servant girl…”
After He Linsheng saw her appearance clearly, he said indifferently, “Father, it is a young servant girl in my room. It’s nothing.”
He Qicheng then said, “That’s enough. Put the medicine here and leave.”
The servant girl then left carefully. However, in the evening, when there was no one around, she appeared in He Xueyao’s room.
“I knew that with the temper of this father and son, how could they let him off so easily? However, his strength has exceeded my expectations.”
Initially, after learning that not only were He Linsheng’s meridians completely destroyed, even his cultivation level was about to plummet, He Xueyao was extremely grateful to Lin Bai. Only then did she speak up for him in the beginning.
However, who would have thought that Lin Bai would actually be able to refine a seventh grade spirit replenis.h.i.+ng pill? She had originally wanted to destroy it, but she still hadn’t succeeded. Immediately, she felt a little regretful. Naturally, she didn’t show him any mercy.
Now, it seemed that there was another turning point in the matter.
“Alright, you can go back first. Don’t let others find out and become suspicious.”
The servant girl hurriedly left while He Xueyao was calculating in her heart.
The enemy of an enemy is a friend. To be able to escape from He Linsheng’s hands time and time again, and even escape safely from the He family, it was enough to show this person’s strength. Moreover, he had now entered the Alchemist a.s.sociation.
“Perhaps I should make contact with him. Perhaps he can help me.”
…
At this moment, Lin Bai did not know that he was being targeted by He Xueyao. He was currently weeding in the medicinal field.
Chen Yan was probably shocked by him. He did not recover for a while. He randomly a.s.signed him a task and threw him a medicinal plant encyclopedia. Then, he left.
The medicinal field was full of spiritual energy and there was no one around. Lin Bai Thought for a while and summoned the three little ones.
Probably because they had not been out for a long time, Little Green, Little Red and Little Black seemed to be very active, jumping up and down in the medicinal field.
Lin Bai was ready to meditate and cultivate. That book of medicinal plants was long forgotten by him. He told the three little ones, “If a stranger comes near, remember to remind me.”
Little Green nodded humanely.
Little Green and Little Red’s cultivation levels were already very high. Little Red was in the sky, so it could see everything around here. It would be the first to know if anyone came near this place.
Therefore, Lin Bai was extremely relieved. He quickly entered a meditative state and no longer paid attention to the things around him. He only stopped waking up when his life was in danger.
However, Lin Bai did not notice that not far away, there were a pair of eyes the size of green beans silently watching everything. Soon after, they burrowed into the ground.
When Lin Bai opened his eyes again, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
The originally neat medicinal field had become a mess. Those precious medicinal herbs were either broken at the waist, or the roots and leaves had been separated.
The ground was littered with messy leaves, and even the soil had been dug out. There was a black hole on it, as if it had gone through a storm.
“What’s going on?”
Little Green came out from some corner. It had turned gray. Its green scales were covered with a lot of soil.
