As the young man read out these words, his hand that was holding the letter trembled slightly, and at the same time, he frowned.
Although there was no big change in his expression, he could see from his eyebrows that at this time, the young man’s mentality seemed to be wrong.
After a long while, the young man released his hand and took out a lighter to light the letter.
When the surrounding posthouse men saw this situation, they would occasionally glance at it, but they would quickly look away.
“Sigh, how did it involve Xu Bai?”The young man thought to himself.
The rumors about Xu Bai in Jianghu were no longer as silent as before. Rescuing King Sheng You and solving the Feng Shui situation, just these two things were already famous.
Even the Heaven Supervisor, Si Qianchang, had already paid attention.
However, even though he was famous, he didn’t break the law. On the contrary, everything was in accordance with the laws of Great Chu.
Not long ago, the Emperor had sent Xu Bai to the capital to receive a generous reward.
Anyone with discerning eyes could see that Xu Bai was very important to the Emperor. He would likely be put in an important position in the capital this time.
These were not the most important things. The most important thing was that he felt that he had taken over a hot potato.
This trip of his was originally to resolve the Purple Wood Mansion’s extermination case.
However, the letter he received at the beginning said that this case was related to Xu Bai.
Although he didn’t have any substantial evidence, with this letter, when he entered the Purple Wood Mansion, he would have to check it out from Xu Bai.
“My head hurts.” The young man, Song De, rubbed his forehead helplessly. He was the chief of the Heaven Inspectorate and was in charge of the affairs of the prefecture. As long as it was related to the martial world or the evil, he had to care about it.
In fact, it was fine to investigate a post station chief, but Xu Bai was currently popular, so it was not easy to do.
“I only hope that this Lord Xu can be reasonable. After all, we are all in the officialdom. No matter what, we have to give him some face.”Song De thought to himself.
It was getting late. He ate something and did not stay any longer. He rode a fast horse and rushed towards the Purple Wood Mansion.
The next day.
Xu Bai woke up early and had breakfast outside. Then, he returned to his room and continued reading the progress bar.
Coincidentally, the mastermind seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
He had thought that at least something would happen, but now it seemed that nothing had happened.
“He must be holding back his ultimate move.” Xu Bai thought as he leaned against the chair and looked at the Secret Technique of in his hands.
The calmer the surface of the water, the more undercurrents surged.
It was impossible for the other party to let go of this opportunity so easily. The result was obvious. They must be looking for an opportunity to kill in one blow.
“The longer I delay, the better it will be for me.”Xu Bai watched the progress bar slowly increase and thought with satisfaction.
It would be best if he could drag it out for a month or so. When he had read a few more books, his strength would increase rapidly and he could kill as many as he wanted. Wouldn’t that be beautiful?
“Dong dong dong…”
Just as Xu Bai was thinking this, someone knocked on the door.
“Who is it?” Xu Bai put down the book in his hand and looked toward the door.
He stood up from his chair and pressed down on Ghost Head Blade’s hilt.
“It’s me, Ji Xiaojian. Is it convenient for Lord Xu?”
Ji Xiaojian’s voice came from outside the door.
The corners of Xu Bai’s mouth curled up slightly. He was finally here.
He put away the Secret Technique of Jiqiao and picked up the fake ” Piercing a
Poplar in a Hundred Steps ” that Ji Xiaojian had given him. He walked to the door and opened it.
Outside the door stood an unfamiliar man. He had a longbow on his back and was tied up with a cloth. If he hadn’t known beforehand that it was a longbow, he wouldn’t have been able to tell just by looking at his silhouette.
“Is this your true face?” Xu Bai glanced at Ji Xiaojian and said indifferently.
“This time, I came to see Lord Xu with my true face. I dare not hide it.”Ji Xiaojian bowed, but his eyes were looking at the Poplar Piercer in Xu Bai’s hand, and there was a subtle flash of light in his eyes.
He was watching!
Xu Bai was reading this fake book!
This meant that Xu Bai was not far from going berserk!
Ji Xiaojian suppressed his joy and acted very naturally,””Milord, I came here to ask if there is anything else that I need to do. As long as Milord says the word, I’ll definitely do it!”
Xu Bai laughed. He wasn’t stupid, so how could he not see through Ji Xiaojian’s intentions?
The reason why this fellow found this excuse was to see if he was learning the < Hundred Steps Piercing the Poplar Now that he had seen what he wanted to see, he was naturally satisfied.
Details, what are details?
Xu Bai had already thought of the ” open the door ” and had already switched to the ” Hundred Steps Through Yang
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaojian hurriedly put on a grateful expression, ‘”‘Thank you for your magnanimity, Lord Xu. Since there’s nothing else, Little Arrow will leave now and not disturb Lord Xu.”
“Yes.” ” Mm.” Xu Bai agreed.
Ji Xiaojian left.
Xu Bai closed the door and sat back on the chair. He continued to flip through the Secret Techniques of Manipulation and read the progress bar on it.
As for what happened just now, it was just an interlude. He didn’t care about it at all.
What the other party wanted to see had already been seen by the other party. Now, it was up to their reaction.
Thinking of this, Xu Bai didn’t think too much about it. He calmed down and continued to read the progress bar. “Dong dong dong!”
The knocking sounded again.
Xu Bai put away the Secret Skill of Manipulation and asked with a frown,””Who is it?”
