The languid young man couldn’t help taking another look, and ultimately shook his head and did not interfere, entering the city.
Though he seemed to be strolling lazily, his speed was swift, quickly bypassing the two figures and disappearing around a corner.
Soon, the languid young man stood before a towering tavern, the most luxurious tavern in Thousand Yuan City, where a single meal required thousands of top quality magic stones.
“Mr. Bai, the Princess has been waiting for you for a long time.”
Just as he stopped, a man in black approached and said.
Mr. Bai nodded, sighed and then stepped into the tavern. Under the guidance of the black-clothed man, he went to the top floor, the eighth floor.
Because this is the Thousand Yuan Dynasty, only the imperial rulers are allowed to use buildings above nine floors, the tallest building in Thousand Yuan City is just eight floors.
There is an area specifically serving the descendants of the Huang family, with a total of seventeen boxes, corresponding to the seventeen princes and princesses of the Qi Na Yuan Dynasty.
“The Princess is inside, Mr. Bai, please.”
At the entrance to Box No. 17 stood a burly man. His face looked fierce and just one glance from him was filled with murderous intent.
However, when facing Mr. Bai, this man was exceedingly respectful.
Upon entering, Mr. Bai met the Seventeenth Princess, Xiao Yuwei, who had been waiting for a considerable time.
“Mr. Bai, it’s virtually impossible to get you to meet me.”
Xiao Yuwei’s expression was indifferent: “Even going to meet the Tiger is not as difficult as this.’
“The Princess is joking. I’m just a plaything in the Thousand Yuan Dynasty. It’s simple for any of you royal people to meet me, right?”
Mr. Bai lifted the corner of his mouth, revealing his trademark languid smile.
“Sit.”
Facing Mr. Bai’s attitude, Xiao Yuwei didn’t show any sign of anger and calmly said.
“There’s no need for much small talk between us. When Father had you assigned to me years ago, I believe you should fulfill your duty.”
“Only one year remains till the rule of your dynasty, and since you belong to me, have I ever made you do anything?”
Mr. Bai gave a faint smile: “No, that’s exactly why I came today.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuwei narrowed her eyes, her expression becoming sharper: “Put away your arrogance, you should know that for the Dynasty to kill you, it’s simple.”
“You can try.”
“You?”
Xiao Yuwei was momentarily at a loss for words. She remembered the scene of capturing this man years ago, which was quite a ferocious scene.
Half of the Dynasty’s experts were lost, and even then, this man was only captured because all the magic power in his body was drained. If not, no amount of manpower would have been enough.
This man was only in the middle stage of dividing the gods, but his combat power was beyond anyone’s imagination.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yuwei suppressed her anger.
“Princess, I’m here for a simple reason, to help me find Jiang Bai. I need him for a big task.”
“Mad Demon Secret Land?” Mr. Bai raised an eyebrow.
“Exactly, if he can make my third brother suffer a setback, it proves his usefulness.
“As long as you help me find Jiang Bai, I can let you leave the Dynasty directly.”
Mr. Bai sneered and poured himself a glass of wine: “Aren’t you afraid this is like releasing the tiger back into the mountain?”
“You wouldn’t.”
Xiao Yuwei nonchalantly said, “You’ve had the prowess, but in these twenty years, you’ve remained unharmed in the Dynasty. If you wanted revenge, you could have done it anytime, but you didn’t.”
Hmm…
Taking a sip of his wine, Mr. Bai exhaled a long breath, “Alright, I understand. I will bring Jiang Bai in here before the opening of the Mad Demon Secret Land.”
“Thank you! ”
“We don’t need to be polite to each other, I don’t need your thanks, and you don’t have to take me seriously.”
With a wave of his hand, Mr. Bai got up and left.
As he walked down the stairs, Mr. Bai was no longer as languid as he was. He was completely lifeless, his eyes vacant and spiritless.
As he was about to leave, he turned his head and saw there were two people sitting in the hall not far away.
The corners of his mouth lifted in a subtle smile.
Mr. Bai walked up and sat directly in front of the two, picking up the chopsticks and started eating as if nothing had happened.
Suddenly, Jiang Xiaobai and AnRan were startled.
They both recognized Mr. Bai as the man who was selling the tickets.
“Uh…Brother, what are you…”
“Stop pretending.”
Mr. Bai spoke indifferently: “I’m looking for you two because I have something to ask.”
“Do you know Jiang Bai?”
As soon as he said this, Jiang Xiaobai was greatly shocked, Jiang Bai, was the first pseudonym he used to make an enemy of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty.
This man asking it so directly, there must be an issue.
Just then, Mr. Bail s eyes suddenly stared at Jiang Xiaobai, filled with a sharp look.
“You’re Jiang Bai, aren’t you.”
“Stop it, that Jiang Bai is a wanted criminal of the Dynasty, we absolutely cannot talk nonsense.” Jiang Xiaobai said frantically, glancing around at the same time.
As if he really felt wronged, he didn’t want any outsiders to hear this sentence.
However, Mr. Bai simply laughed: “Just because others don’t know doesn’t mean I don’t know.”
“You appeared out of nowhere and started causing trouble. You really aren’t allowing things to be peaceful.”
It seemed that the other party did know about his identity, and Jiang Xiaobai didn’t try to hide it anymore.
“Since you know my identity and haven’t revealed it, tell me, what’s your purpose.”
“Smart.”
Mr. Bai chuckled, “I’ll give you two choices now. Either, I’ll give you an hour to run away, and then I’ll catch you and bring you back. Or, you obediently come upstairs with me. Here’s five billion high quality magic stones as a bonus.” “Apart from this, you have no other choice. The person that caught my attention can’t escape.”
Although Mr. Bail s words sounded relaxed, they were accompanied by a terrifying pressure that fell on Jiang Xiaobai.
Jiang Xiaobai suddenly found that this man, although he was only in the intermediate stage of dividing the gods, exerted a pressure that was similar to
Heng Heng’s on that day!
It was terrifying!
He knew that in front of such a person, he really had no room for choice.
Upon this realization, Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes: “Can I know why you’re doing this?”
“A promise, of course it’s beneficial to you, but this benefit depends on how you negotiate.”
In a moment, the three of them fell silent.
AnRan didn’t dare to make a sound as Mr. Bai’s intimidating aura was far too menacing.
Looking at Jiang Xiaobai, he saw him nod.
“Alright, I agree.”
“Good. Here, let’s drink to that.”
Jiang Xiaobai lifted his glass nonchalantly, clinked it with Mr. Bail s and drank it all down.
Throughout the process, he didn’t show a hint of panic.
Seeing this, Mr. Bai was filled admiration.
“Truly brave and insightful, come, let’s go upstairs..”
