Chapter 268 Sometimes, The Less You Know, The Better
The full moon hung high in the sky, and the evening wind was blowing. The courtyard was abnormally quiet, but the noise she had just heard in the house was telling Bai Xi that someone was there!
Bai Xi looked in the direction of the sound. It was in the direction of the attic in the backyard.
At that moment, there was no one in the attic, but Bai Xi had a feeling that she was being watched closely. This made her come to the empty s.p.a.ce in front of the attic, and she did not go any further for a long time.
Recently, the capital was not peaceful. There were all kinds of people. Even if Bai Xi’s strength was extraordinary enough to protect herself, she still had to be careful at this time.
After all, it was easy to dodge an open spear, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark!
“Yo, long time no see. I almost didn’t see you again!”
A familiar and somewhat unfamiliar voice sounded from the attic roof. Bai Xi was subconsciously excited at first, but then she became very vigilant.
“You, Lin Bai? Why are you here?”
Bai Xi inadvertently bent her legs slightly, getting ready to enter battle at any time. She then quietly placed a hand behind her back.
Actually, the City Lord had said that Lin Bai had already become a demon, as well as the things he had done in the Alchemist a.s.sociation. Based on Bai Xi’s understanding of Lin Bai, she had always been very suspicious of this.
Moreover, she had a vague feeling that there was something strange about the City Lord, but she couldn’t find out where it was. She had wanted to secretly investigate, but his instincts warned her that it would be very dangerous if she continued to investigate. Bai Xi also gave up on the idea of investigating after that.
However, her suspicion of the City Lord and Lin Bai grew deeper and deeper.
“I’ve brought you a great gift!” Lin Bai emerged from the top of the attic. Under the illumination of the Moon, his face was warm and his smile was as refres.h.i.+ng as the wind. He did not look like a person who was being hunted down, but more like a wanderer who came here to admire the moon. “What great gift?”
Bai Xi frowned tightly. This great gift made her think of something bad, and she subconsciously took a step back.
At this moment, Little Green and Little Black, who were behind Lin Bai, pushed the two black shadows down. With a swoosh, they cut through the night sky and fell heavily onto the moss-covered stone slab on the ground. “Aiyo, sir, you can’t play like this. Even if we’re body pract.i.tioners, this… We can’t handle this!”
“Sir, if you have something to say, then say it properly. Why do you have to let us go on stage like this?!”
The fat and thin duo felt intense pain all over their bodies. They started to roll around on the floor, biting on their roots tightly. Their faces started to twist.
“Who are they? Lin Bai, what are you doing?!”
Bai Xi looked at the two people rolling around on the floor. They were two unfamiliar faces. When she thought of the rumor that Lin Bai was already a demon, her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Lin Bai had really become a killer?!
“Hahaha, Bai Xi, you’re too nervous!”
Lin Bai landed lightly on the ground from the roof without making a sound. Little Green and Little Black followed closely behind. Their originally handsome entrance had become extremely comical after Little Black face planted the ground.
Sob!
Little Black looked at Lin Bai and Little Green with tears in its eyes. Don’t look at me like that. No matter who it was, they would make some mistakes. Mistakes!
Little Green curled its lips in a human-like manner. Even though it did not make any sound, its instincts told Little Black that Little Green must be laughing. Definitely!
Little Black bared its fangs and brandished its claws to warn Little Green twice. Then, it stood up angrily. “Cough cough…”
Lin Bai coughed awkwardly. His two little beasts had completely destroyed the atmosphere of his special appearance. He had originally wanted to keep Bai Xi’s nerves tensed up for a while longer.
“Pfft… hahaha!”
Fatty’s face turned green and purple. When Little Black bared its fangs and brandished its claws, and its cheeks puffed up with anger, fatty could no longer hold it in. He laughed loudly and even forgot all the pain on his body.
You!
Little Black’s two pitch-black eyes glared angrily at Fatty. This made fatty’s laughter even harder to suppress.
Little Black twisted his body and came in front of fatty. He sat down on fatty’s face.
n
“Wu… I, I won’t laugh anymore, Wu… I can’t breathe!”
Fatty struggled in pain after being sat down. However, he had already suffered a serious injury and couldn’t exert any strength. He almost lost his breath after being sat down by Blackie.
Little Black smugly tugged its lips and looked at fatty. This is what you get for offending me. Laugh if you want!
“Cough cough!” Bai Xi saw this scene and for some reason, the tension and pressure from before disappeared. “Lin Bai… What are you trying to do? Who are they? And what exactly happened?!” “Bai Xi, you’ve been letting down your guard recently!” Lin Bai took a step forward and patted Little Black’s head. Only then did Little Black unwillingly stand up from fatty’s face. It did not forget to turn around and give fatty a threatening gesture, telling him that it would never do it again.
“Alright, alright, I won’t dare to do it again!”
Fatty hurriedly panted heavily. It took a long time for his originally blue and red face to return to normal.
“What are you talking about?”
Bai Xi’s expression changed slightly. She seemed to have thought of something as he carefully sized up the fat and thin duo. The two of them were dressed in black, and from their every move, it could be seen that they were definitely martial artists with powerful cultivation.
And Lin Bai had brought them to see her in such a crude manner. Could it be that…
“You guys are here to spy on me?!”
Bai Xi’s expression changed, and her voice turned cold as she waited for fatty and skinny.
“Master Bai Xi, listen to my excuses. No, listen to my explanation!”
Fatty immediately wailed, with Lin Bai’s previous “Education”, he did not dare to have any petty thoughts. At this moment, his life was more important. He also realized that Lin Bai was not the bloodthirsty demon that the City Lord had mentioned. Otherwise, he would not be alive right now.
There must be some unknown secrets that fatty did not understand at all. Fatty did not want to understand at all. To him, the most important thing now was to tell him everything he knew and then seek stability. “Speak!”
Bai Xi said coldly.
Fatty told him why he had come here, what his motive was, and what he knew.
“After that, it was master Lin Bai who suddenly appeared, and now it’s what you see… This is everything we know!”
Fatty felt wronged and did not try to catch Lin Bai’s arrogance at all. After saying that, he turned around and looked at Lin Bai.
“Master Lin Bai, this is really everything we know. Why don’t you let us leave now, and we promise to leave the capital immediately! We have no other intentions, or else the heavens will strike five thunderbolts at us!”
Although fatty and skinny were not in high positions and could not look down on the entire situation, their many years of intuition as small characters told them that they were currently in a very big trouble. It was very likely that the City Lord was…
Thinking of this, fatty shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Sometimes, the less they knew, the better.
