Chapter 375: Mystic Realm
The skinny man packed up and left the courtyard sensibly, leaving Lin Bai and the woman named Luo Ningyu behind.
Luo Ningyu bent down slightly and stroked the hem of her skirt. She sat upright on the stone bench opposite Lin Bai. A strand of her beautiful hair fell down, making her look absolutely stunning.
Luo Ningyu’s clear and bright eyes swept across the courtyard. Her gaze lingered on the small beasts for a few more seconds before she turned her gaze towards Lin Bai. Her gaze was sincere, but it felt as if she was a thousand miles away from him.
Luo Ningyu’s actions were done in one go. It was elegant and made people feel being embraced by the spring wind. It made Lin Bai’s bad mood brighten up a lot.
“Miss Luo, are you from Yong City?”
Lin Bai picked up the teapot and found a clean cup. He poured a cup of tea for Luo Ningyu and handed it over.
Luo Ningyu extended her slender fingers and carefully picked up the teacup. However, Lin Bai frowned.
Lin Bai looked at Luo Ningyu and Luo Ningyu looked at Lin Bai. Both of them lifted the teacup, but the water in the teacup started to change.
Sometimes, bubbles kept gushing out. Sometimes, there was a whirlpool in the teacup. Sometimes, the teacup was as steady as a mirror.
A drop of sweat the size of a soybean dripped from Lin Bai’s forehead. A thin layer of sweat appeared on Luo Ningyu’s face.
A few small beasts sensed the change and looked at Luo Ningyu warily. However, Lin Bai did not speak, so they did not dare to rashly go forward. They could only quietly wait by the side.
Time passed by minute by minute. The wind blew on the leaves, and the birds on the trees chirped…
Bang!
......
A crisp explosion sounded!
The teacup between the two of them shattered, and the tea splashed in all directions. However, not even a drop of tea splashed on the two of them.
Luo Ningyu fixed her hair by her ear while Lin Bai poured another cup of tea as if nothing had happened.
Luo Ningyu took a small sip and slowly said, “That’s right. I came here because of some matters and coincidentally heard about the rumors about Young Master Lin, so I came to meet you.”
When Luo Ningyu said this, she looked straight into Lin Bai’s eyes, trying to figure out what was going on.
It was as if the previous incident had never happened. Neither of them mentioned it.
Lin Bai began to think. This woman called Luo Ningyu was extremely skilled in martial arts. If he hadn’t broken through a state before the battle with the City Lord, he would definitely be the one to lose. It wouldn’t be a draw
“Are you...” Lin Bai thought for a moment, “Are you a member of the organization that provided me with information?”
Yong City was exactly where Fu Hu was going.
In addition to the current situation in the city, there was a woman from Yong City who came to see him, and she was a snow-white beauty…
Lin Bai didn’t think he was that charming.
And in this incident, Lin Bai was not the famous hero who killed the City Lord in the end. He was just a young man who had been wronged by the City Lord and fought against him.
So... Luo Ningyu must be a member of that organization.
However, is it really alright for such a mysterious organization to come and contact me directly?
Lin Bai shook his head in his heart. He was actually a little curious about this organization.
After Luo Ningyu stepped into the courtyard, her expression changed for the first time. However, there was still a smile on her face, and she didn’t deny it:
“That’s right. I didn’t expect that Young Master Lin, besides his strength, is also quite intelligent. No wonder that fellow thinks so highly of Young Master Lin. I was a little worried about his taste...”
Luo Ningyu had seen many cultivators. Despite having a cultivation level, their heads seemed to have rusted. Only people with a cultivation level similar to Lin Bai’s and a shrewd mind could talk to her, and she did not feel uncomfortable.
Lin Bai’s eyebrows twitched slightly. It seemed that she wanted to test the authenticity of him.
However…
Lin Bai put down the teacup in his hand and said softly,
“Miss Luo, I’m sure you’re not here to see whether I’m real or not. It’s not that simple. Then, what is Miss Luo’s real purpose?”
Luo Ningyu’s appeared to purely want to see Lin Bai, but Lin Bai would not be fooled so easily.
Luo Ningyu revealed a look of approval. If Lin Bai really thought that she was only here to meet him, then Luo Ningyu would probably get up and leave.
Luo Ningyu did not hide anything and said,
“Originally, I was supposed to take care of the demon matters here. However, I was delayed by some matters on the way. When I rushed over, I discovered that the matter had already been settled by Young Master Lin and Fu Hu.”
Lin Bai thought that it was indeed so.
After Fu Hu revealed his identity, he had been wondering why such a mysterious organization would only send Fu Hu. This kind of strength was not enough to complete this matter.
When he heard from Elder Shi that a woman from Yong City had come, Lin Bai had already begun to guess this possibility.
“Could the delay on the way be the reason for Miss Luo’s arrival?” Lin Bai asked back.
Luo Ningyu nodded. The more she talked to Lin Bai, the more comfortable she felt:
“On the road, I met a small village. Thousands of households, including livestock, were all dead.”
Lin Bai only felt a headache coming on.
Before this wave was over, another wave came.
He really didn’t want to get involved in this kind of muddy water. He just needed to slowly develop in a wretched manner and pass on his cultivation to the spirit beasts. Then, his cultivation level would be able to reach a meteoric rise. All he needed was time.
Luo Ningyu saw that Lin Bai didn’t say anything and didn’t mind. She wasn’t a fool. If she invited others to do things, she would definitely use benefits to motivate them. She said,
“Recently... There is a mystic realm in Yong City that is about to open. Only the countries and forces that are famous and talented can enter. Now that the quota has been decided, if young master Lin is willing to help me, then I can give you a quota.”
After Luo Ningyu finished speaking, she told Lin Bai all the news about the mystic realm.
Outside Yong City, in the northern cold land, a mystic realm was recently discovered. There were many elders in Yong City who were extremely powerful. They wanted to find out the truth of this mystic realm and to plunder it.
In the end, a famous sword elder from the Shu Sword Sect died in the mystic realm.
In the end, the Zhuge family of Yong City came forward and confirmed that the mystic realm was restricted to people under the age of 30. They also deduced the exact time when the mystic realm would open.
However, as for who the owner of the mystic realm was, why it was built, and when it was built, there was still no clue.
“This time, I only asked for Master Lin Bai’s help to investigate that place. If the two of us combined can’t solve this problem, then I will report it to the higher-ups and ask them to send someone with a higher cultivation level here.”
Luo Ningyu put down her teacup and stood up. “Then, Young Master Lin Bai, please consider it carefully. If you’re interested, I’ll set off in three days. I’ll be staying at the Clear Phoenix Hotel for the next few days.”
Luo Ningyu left Lin Bai, who was thinking on his own, and headed off with the servant who had been waiting outside the courtyard for a long time.
Lin Bai was left to think on his own
