These people were very well-informed. Just by identifying the Ghost Head Blade on Xu Bai’s waist, they already knew who he was.
“So Lord Xu is here.” The middle-aged man put away the account book in his hand. When Xu Bai approached, he cupped his hands and greeted him with a smile on his face.
Lord xu?
This was the first time someone called him that.
Needless to say, it sounded pretty good.
Xu Bai rubbed his chin and sized up the middle-aged man,””May I ask how I should address you?”
“Ou.” Ou Yizhang smiled and said his name. He looked around and quickly brought Xu Bai into the house,”This isn’t the place for the handover. Let’s talk inside.”
When he walked, his footsteps were steady, his movements were crisp, and he had an imposing aura.
“A master of the flow.” Xu Bai thought to himself.
The door at the back was pushed open by the postmaster. The facilities inside were very simple, but they were all perfect. Whether it was tables, chairs, or tea sets, everything was inside.
There was everything there should be, even the kitchen.
“This book has already recorded the various rules of the Yin Posthouse, as well as the approximate location of the layout and the surrounding buildings.”Posthouse Chief Ou handed over the account book and placed it on the table.
Xu Bai had thought that this was an account book, but he didn’t expect it to be a book. Obviously, Posthouse Chief Ou planned to use the simplest method to hand it over.
The simplest method was to give you a book and let you read it yourself.
Xu Bai shifted his gaze to the table and stared at the book on it. He smiled. “Posthouse Chief Ou, I feel that there are some things that I need you to explain to me. Otherwise, I won’t be able to understand them.”
Posthouse Chief Ou was originally prepared to turn around and pack his things.
He didn’t expect that after hearing Xu Bai’s words, his brows slightly furrowed.
He walked closer and flipped open one of the pages, pointing at the words on it.
“Lord Xu, every line is written clearly. You only need to read it. I also need to leave immediately to take up my post at the next relay station. There’s no other way.”
His words were reasonable and did not offend Xu Bai in any way.
Xu Bai’s lips curled up. He took out a small porcelain bottle from the bag at his waist and poured out a pill from the porcelain bottle, putting it into his mouth. After doing this, he picked up the book on the table and flipped to the first page.
“Not bad, not bad. It’s written in great detail.”
“You didn’t even miss a single detail. It seems like Lord Ou spent a lot of time on this book.”
“In my opinion, what is written on it is true. After all, to find a way to let me read it, the slow poison will take a long time to activate.”
There was no problem with the first two sentences, but when he said the last sentence, the expression in his eyes changed.
“Lord Xu, what do you mean? I really don’t understand. I painstakingly wrote this book so that you can take over. You’re simply slandering me.”Esteemed Outs face and neck turned red as he made an extremely angry expression. He pointed at Xu Bai and berated him.
Xu Bai didn’t move. He lifted the book and turned the page down. Then, he
shook it hard.
As he shook, a lot of powder floated out of the book, which was especially obvious in the air.
“The Yin Food Poison is a seventh grade poison, but its power is comparable to that of a sixth grade poison. The reason is that this poison is slow. It will gradually corrode a person’s blood over time and eventually die of unknown causes. “Xu Bai said lightly,” I can see that your complexion is ruddy. It’s obviously not your original skin color. It’s the result of the poison entering your body and the antidote relieving it.”
Poison?
Sorry, he was also an expert in using poison. The Hundred Poisons Sutra was a seventh-grade poison scripture, and there were many poison techniques recorded on it.
Moreover, there was also the Hundred Violent Poison, a poison that could even even poison a Rank-6 expert.
Using poison techniques in front of him was simply showing off in front of an expert.
“Why don’t you try this?” Xu Bai pulled out the Ghost Head Blade and placed it on the table. The blade was covered in Hundred Violent Poison, and a
dangerous light flickered on it.
The expression of the postmaster Ou turned from red to black, becoming extremely ugly.
He knew that the other party had already discovered him, but there was no time to think about the current situation. He hurriedly turned around, wanting to break through the window and escape.
Xu Bai took a step forward and used the Four Movement Technique. He took the lead and blocked the middle.”lf you tell me, I’ll give you a quick death. If you don’t tell me, I guarantee you’ll tell me.”
“You’re courting death!” Posthouse Chief Ou roared in rage. He then crossed his palms and slapped them towards Xu Bai’s head.
A faint green light appeared on his palm, giving off a strange feeling.
Xu Bai circulated his True Core Strength and used the Vajra Heart Devil Body. A faint layer of black light rose from his body. When Posthouse Chief Outs hand landed on the black light, Xu Bai immediately used Stellar Transposition.
The hand that was covered in green light suddenly turned around and slapped on the chest of Posthouse Chief Ou, sending him flying.
“Puff!”
Posthouse Chief Ou fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. He stared at Xu Bai with a face full of anger.
“You actually dared to attack an official of the Imperial Court and openly oppose the Great Chu Country. Once others find out, they will definitely punish you with the death penalty.”
This sentence was said in a very serious manner, as if it had really happened.
Xu Bai stroked his chin and said,” It seems like you’ve already thought of a backup plan. Once your plan of using poison fails, you’ll attack me forcefully. If your attack fails, you’ll use this trick to frame me. That’s very good..”
