This slap was very loud and clear, especially ear-piercing in this dark courtyard. The Tong Residence Magistrate touched his face and was already dumbfounded.
He was suddenly stimulated by this and could not come back to his senses for a long time. After all, this slap came too suddenly, so he kept maintaining this position for a long time.
Why did Xu Bai appear here, and why did the wooden box lose its effect? In fact, all of this was very simple. It was because this wooden box was cleverly used.
When Butler Chen passed by with the wooden box, Xu Bai heard the sound of the mechanism inside the wooden box.
If a Rank-4 unspecialized couldn’t even hear such a thing, how could he be worthy of this title?
If a martial artist had not reached the Second Stage, his Genuine Qi would not be able to flow out of his body, but that did not mean that other professions did not have this function.
Xu Bai was not a martial artist, and his Refined Qi was not True Qi.
Clever mechanisms and the like could all be controlled from afar. Otherwise, how could some mechanisms be activated from the air?
The only difference was that the person who made it was more familiar with it.
To make a very simple analogy, if two people knew the art of mechanics, one of them would be able to make a move, but it would be very difficult for the other to control it because the person who made the move was more familiar with it.
However, Butler Chen was not clever.
Xu Bai was at the max level.
Comparing the two, everything seemed logical.
When Butler Chen walked to the door of the Tong Residence, Xu Bai had already deciphered the important thing inside, so the wooden box did not play its role.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Tong family magistrate had been slapped and had yet to react, Xu Bai did not say anything else and directly kicked Butler Chen in front of him.
Butler Chen had lost his hands, but Xu Bai had no intention of keeping him.
Instead, he wanted to get rid of him immediately.
The reason was simple. Since the other party had sent someone, they must have planted a seed in his mind. It would be useless to ask anything. Not only would it be useless, but it would also cause Butler Chen to die immediately.
Most importantly, Xu Bai wasn’t sure if Butler Chen would know if he triggered the seed and killed him.
He still had follow-up plans, so he couldn’t afford to have any problems in this aspect.
Housekeeper Chen was kicked away by Xu Bai and flew into the air with a miserable cry. At this moment, Xu Bai raised his other foot and kicked the wooden box into the air at the same time. His True Core Strength surged and the mechanism in the wooden box was activated.
“Boom!”
The moment the mechanism was activated, the wooden box suddenly exploded. Countless fragments exploded, piercing Butler Chen’s entire body.
He died.
The shards were an area-of-effect attack. Some of them flew toward Xu Bai and the others, but due to the distance, their power was greatly reduced, so they were easily blocked.
“Swoosh!”
The black saber returned to its scabbard.
Xu Bai turned his head and looked at the Tong Residence Magistrate. His tone carried a hint of mockery.”Do you understand now? Why should I slap you?
Even if I were to slap you again, you wouldn’t dare to stop me.”
The Tong Manor Magistrate had already recovered, but after seeing this scene, he fell into a daze again. His entire person was like a rotten wood that could not move, standing on the spot for a long time.
If he still couldn’t see the subtlety of this, he wouldn’t have been able to reach his current position.
It was obvious that the other party only wanted to kill him, and the reason why he wanted to kill him might have something to do with Xu Bai.
After all, Butler Chen’s plan was to frame Xu Bai. He was just using him as an excuse.
“I was wrong.” The Tong Residence Magistrate finally lowered his head, his hands hanging by his sides. He looked as if he had aged several years, and he no longer had his previous arrogance.
He often thought that since he was a scholar, he would not be interested in these wild Jianghu people, and Xu Bai himself was born in Jianghu.
Therefore, he didn’t like Xu Bai. As for the reward, he just thought that Xu Bai was lucky.
“Where did you go wrong?” Xu Bai continued to ask.
“The mistake is that I shouldn’t have listened to calumny and done things that go against the principles of scholars.””Lord Xu, if you want to kill me or cut me up, do as you please.’”‘
He had already admitted defeat. If this matter was brought to the Emperor, he would not have a good ending. However, since he had already done it, there was no room for redemption. He could only choose to silently bear it.
He Imew very well what the consequences of listening to calumny, plotting against an official of the Imperial Court, or even going to the capital to receive a reward would be.
Death was considered the lightest punishment. He might even be thrown into prison and suffer endless pain.
Xu Bai smiled and said calmly,’”‘Actually, I don’t want you to suffer a heavy punishment, but all of this depends on whether you can atone for your sins.”
Commander Tong had been prepared to receive Xu Bails storm-like attacks, but after hearing these words, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He wondered if he had heard wrongly. Xu Bai was actually letting bygones be bygones and trying to atone for his crimes?
“Understood! Understood!” ” Yes.” Tong Manor Master nodded his head vigorously.” I’ll definitely do as Lord Xu says, as long as Lord Xu gives me a chance.” ‘
He finally understood that the man in front of him was not someone he could offend. Even with his personality, he had to lower his head now.
King Sheng You wanted him to lower his head, and now, Xu Bai wanted him to lower his head as well..
