“So that punk’s hiding some secrets?” Liu Dongsheng’s brow furrowed.
In fact, nobody in the entirety in Four Seas City, not even in the Thousand Yuan Dynasty, seemed to have the slightest impression of Jiang Xiaobai; it was as if he had appeared out of thin air.
No one knew whence Jiang Xiaobai came.
This affair was already filled with mystery, but when Liu Dongsheng heard Gu’s words, his curiosity was piqued even more.
“Gu, could you divulge what his identity is?” Liu Dongsheng asked. Gu sneered, “Don’t pry too much. The more you know, the sooner you die.” Indeed, the truth was as such.
Liu Dongsheng understood that he couldn’t continue asking. It was already his greatest fortune to collaborate with a partner like Gu.
All that mattered was that he got benefits from their cooperation; everything else was not his business to question.
Aware of this principle, he just gave Gu a smile and remained silent.
Gu nodded, then went to his courtyard, and removed the black cloak he wore, revealing a face full of fierce scars.
“Jiang Xiaobai, son-in-law of the Dragon Valley, heh, I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
A smile appeared at the corner of Gu’s mouth, causing the gruesome scars on his face to move in a rather horrifying and chilling manner.
The next morning, Jiang Xiaobai and AnRan, with disguised faces, were having breakfast at the Tianxiang Building’s lobby when they overheard the news about the Qin Family getting arrested by the city lord’s mansion.
Jiang Xiaobai froze at the news.
“Brother, why did the Qin Family offend the city lord’s mansion? From what I heard, the Qin Family is one of the strongest families in Four Seas City. Why were their homes raided just like that?” Jiang Xiaobai strayed towards a table engaged in a discussion about the matter.
A middle-aged man drinking at the table sneered, “Young lad, you’re out of the loop. Come here. I’ll tell you everything…”
The middle-aged man recounted Jiang Xiaobai’s havoc in Four Seas City. He then noted that the Qin Family harbored resentment and ruined a spirit stone mine the previous night.
“What do you think? There’s no way the city lord’s mansion would back down, of course, they have to wipe out the Qin Family!”
The middle-aged man shook his head repeatedly, “The Qin Family’s just unlucky, to cross paths with bastard. Not only did they spend a fortune in vain, but they’re also headed down a disastrous path.”
“Tsk tsk, such a pity. That’s why, sometimes, acting recklessly when you don’t have power invites disaster.”
The middle-aged man didn’t forget to lecture Jiang Xiaobai. But in response, Jiang Xiaobai merely gave a faint smile, not saying anything in reply.
However, beneath his eyes flickered a glimmer of rage that went unnoticed by others.
Returning to his own seat, Jiang Xiaobai remained silent, continuously stuffing food into his mouth.
AnRan, sitting next to him, sensed that something was amiss with Jiang Xiaobai – he who usually chatty now kept his silence.
“After we finish eating, you mind your business, okay?” After an unknowable period, Jiang Xiaobai, out of nowhere, said.
Hearing these words, AnRan, who was eating a bun, paused.
“Boss, this…
“Don’t worry, I won’t run into trouble.”
Slowly swallowing his bun, Jiang Xiaobai’s face held a mischievous smile, “I didn’t think much of the Mad Demon Secret Land initially, but it’s a pity. The Thousand Yuan Dynasty is essentially inviting their own downfall.”
Jiang Xiaobai was initially reluctant to enter the Mad Demon Secret Land, considering it the territory of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty. If he rushed in like this, it would be akin to surrendering himself.
But now, things were different.
Yuwen Tiancheng’s mistreatment of the Qin Family was something Jiang
Xiaobai could not tolerate. This matter had absolutely nothing to do with the Qin Family. However, because of Yuwen Tiancheng’s misplaced anger, he had all the blame fall on the Qin Family.
Jiang Xiaobai understood the reason behind it too – it was just a ploy to force him out into the open.
If Jiang Xiaobai decided to sever his feelings, since this matter had no implications for him, he wouldn’t reveal himself naturally.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t that kind of person. On top of that, the Qin family was implicated because of him.
“You go ahead first, I’ll meet up with you in the Mad Demon Secret Land later,” Jiang Xiaobai calmly warned.
AnRan didn’t know what to say for a moment but finally nodded his head.
Although AnRan didn’t know about Jiang Xiaobai’s true identity, he could tell that Jiang Xiaobai had ways even he couldn’t think of. Even with a powerful force backing him up, he was in many ways inferior to Jiang Xiaobai.
Insisting on sticking with Jiang Xiaobai at this point would only slow him down.
“Boss, don’t worry. I’ll wait for you,” AnRan said, nodding his head fiercely.
Jiang Xiaobai gave a faint smile, and without saying anything more, sat sullenly in his chair, contemplating his next move.
After breakfast, under Jiang Xiaobai’s urging, AnRan left the Tianxiang Building.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaobai watched as AnRan’s disguised figure slowly faded into the throng.
There were still three days until the Qin Family would be executed. Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t wait until then if he wanted to save them.
He planned on checking out the city lord’s mansion first.
Reaching a desolate place, Jiang Xiaobai executed the Earth Fiend 72 Changes, transformed into a mosquito, used “Divine Concealment” to disguise his aura, and then headed straight for the city lord’s mansion.
At this moment, the city lord’s mansion was somber. Even the guards and servants did not dare breathe out loud, for fear of accidentally offending the lord.
Yuwen Tiancheng was sitting in his study, which had been cleaned thoroughly. His inner rage had also somewhat subsided.
At this moment, he was speculating who it was that was opposing him. To have risen to this rank of the city lord, it was impossible for him not to have enemies.
The problem was that Yuwen Tiancheng had too many enemies and didn’t know who among them could possibly want to oppose him.
The most likely possibility was Jiang Bai, who was now being pursued.
“Lord, there have been no abnormalities in Four Seas City or in the surrounding areas at present. We have not found any traces of Jiang Bai, ”
A glamorous woman stepped in and respectfully reported to Yuwen Tiancheng. Yuwen Tiancheng raised his eyebrows, “Did this brat manage to get away?”
“It’s not impossible. I’ve already had someone spread the news. If he’s around here, he’ll surely know about it.”
Yuwen Tiancheng narrowed his eyes, and after a while, a cold smile appeared on his lips, “Add another piece of information to the Wanted Order: Jiang Bai is in collusion with the Qin Family.”
After this, the matter would not only be a grudge between Jiang Xiaobai and the Thousand Yuan Dynasty, but the other forces involved in the mine would also send people to capture him.
Most of these forces had a pretty good reputation and among them, there were even some whose influence could rival that of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty.
As Yuwen Tiancheng disappeared the order, Jiang Xiaobai, who had transformed into a mosquito, had already infiltrated the city lord’s mansion and was carefully inspecting every corner.
Since the Qin Family had been captured, they should be imprisoned within the city lord’s mansion.
“Strange, I’ve searched everywhere but haven’t even found a trace of the dungeon,” Jiang Xiaobai was puzzled while perched on a tree, his brows furrowed..
