Upon hearing Baihe’s words, Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes.
The flood of information was a bit too much to process all at once, making Jiang Xiaobai’s mind buzz, as if he was unable to react properly.
Saint City?
“Never heard of it?”
Seeing Jiang Xiaobai’s puzzled look, Baihe narrowed his eyes, abruptly seized Jiang Xiaobai’s wrist, and let go as soon as Jiang Xiaobai reacted.
Baihe then seemed to carry a surprised expression on his face.
“You don’t have dragon blood in you, so you’re not from Dragon Valley… So you are the son-in-law that Dragon Valley reluctantly keeps?”
Jiang Xiaobai’s face darkened instantly: “Son-in-law? Speak less if you don’t know how to. What do you mean by son-in-law?”
“You’re married into Dragon Valley, am I wrong?”
Laughing, Baihe started to shake his head while continuing to perform incantations, it wasn’t clear what he was doing.
Then Jiang Xiaobai saw a golden light flying out from his right pinkie finger once more.
Had his merits manifested once again?
“Merits?”
“You certainly are interesting,” Baihe remarked in genuine surprise.
Prior to this, no matter what, Baihe had always seemed unperturbed, even when he discovered that Jiang Xiaobai was Dragon Valley’s son-in-law, he didn’t react excessively.
But now, Baihe seemed overly shocked, so much so that Jiang Xiaobai felt that it wasn’t just astonishment, but he had been genuinely startled!
This reminded him of when he first met Gu Ning, the mysterious woman who had been shocked because of his merits.
“Hey, what’s going on? Why are you all so surprised?”
“Oh? Others have seen your merits too?”
Baihe squints, “In that case, tell me who the woman is, and I can give you more information.”
“Gu Ning, you know her don’t you?” Jiang Xiaobai casually sold out his supposed master.
Hum, although he was his master, all he did during their first encounter was give him some benefits. After that, he provided no further help!
However, Baihe fell silent after hearing this, appearing rather solemn.
“I take back what I just said.”
Pfft!
Jiang Xiaobai, who was in the middle of drinking some tea, suddenly splurted it out. He hurriedly raised his head, incredulously staring at Baihe.
“You, you have no respect for martial arts?”
“You can’t afford to know this information right now, it’s not beneficial to you. Do consider how you will survive under the persecution and hunt of the ancient tribe.”
Baihe dismissively brushed aside the previous conversation: “From what I know, since Gu Sheng was beaten up by Ao Cheng, the ancient tribe is facing a burning rage, and they’re sending their experts. Their targets are you and Ao Cheng.”
“Moreover, you have a fair amount of karma on you, that’s not good.”
“Karma?”
Jiang Xiaobai exclaimed: “What kind of karma? Good or bad karma?”
He was rather fearful and worried about this thing called karma.
“Whether it’s good or bad, it’s hard to determine,”
Baihe chuckled, “Let’s not continue this conversation, it doesn’t bear much significance.”
“Talk about Saint City,” Jiang Xiaobai grumbled.
“It’s quite a strong place.”
After saying this, Baihe leisurely took a sip of his tea. His sipping gesture and his youthful face were in stark contrast, anyone observing from behind would mistake him for an elderly man.
Jiang Xiaobai remained silent, waiting for a while, only to find that Baihe still offered no response.
“Is that it?” Jiang Xiaobai probed.
“Hmm, that’s it.”
Bang!
Jiang Xiaobai stood up in anger, pointing at Baihe with a menacing look. He continued to point for quite some time but found no words to say.
“Damn it, you’re no fun! I’m not playing your games!”
With fury, Jiang Xiaobai stormed off the meeting. Joking aside, he should never have wasted his time with this dog-like being.
As Baihe watched Jiang Xiaobai rapidly leave his field of vision, he made no attempts to stop him or say anything. He simply wore a faint smile on his face.
“Interesting, this world will be stirred into chaos.”
“‘Merits’ have appeared, is it a good omen or a bad omen?”
Baihe squinted his eyes and smiled, then shook his head, beckoning someone with a wave of his hand, a man dressed in black appeared.
Baihe took out an iron box and handed it to him.
“Go, deliver this to An Wujun, and tell him that I have repaid my debt.”
“As you command, honored one!”
Without saying anything else, Baihe pulled out a jade pendant from his pocket after the man had left.
The pendant was smooth and rounded, of excellent quality. If you looked closely, you could see a purple light flashing within.
“Now that ‘merits’ have shown up, could ‘divine thunder’ be not far off?”
Gazing at the pendant, Baihe sank into deep silence.
After leaving the so-called pawnshop, Jiang Xiaobai felt angry, feeling as if he had been played.
“This scoundrel, I knew from the start he wasn’t a good man, I can’t believe I actually trusted him!”
Jiang Xiaobai grumbled unhappily, overtly showing his displeasure. The people around him dared not get too close, fearing that they might inadvertently antagonize him and get hammered by Jiang Xiaobai’s anger.
Even though he was upset, there was a voice of reason telling him that not everything Baihe had said was meant to play with him.
Especially the news about the ancient tribe. That was very likely to be true.
Thinking about this, Jiang Xiaobai frowned, if the ancient tribe already had a connection with that so-called Saint City, then things would be troublesome.
This scoundrel already had the support of Hai Xianzong and now potentially the more formidable Saint City, he didn’t think he could deal with the ancient tribe, he may even be in great danger in the future.
He didn’t believe that the ancient tribe would continuously tolerate him causing trouble. What if they sent a crossing-robbery powerhouse to deal with him?
Considering this, Jiang Xiaobai began to deliberate the advice Baihe had given him earlier.
“Hiss, should I stir up some trouble?”
“I can’t let the ancient tribe get help from Saint City that easily. What kind of joke is this? I absolutely cannot let them get their way.”
“Hmm, when I get back, I must ask AnRan if she knows what Saint City is.”
Contemplating over the matter, Jiang Xiaobai failed to notice the group ploughing towards him.
As a result, because Jiang Xiaobai was moving quickly, he ended up colliding with them.
“Are you blind or something, looking for death?”
The person who was bumped into immediately scolded Jiang Xiaobai.
Jiang Xiaobai looked up to see he was surrounded by over ten people, based on their attire, they appeared to be wealthy young masters.
The man leading the group was tall with a cold look on his face.
“Get on your knees, kowtow and apologize, then you might be spared.”
