Chapter 779: Emperor Chu: I’ll Let You Go (1)
Translator: 549690339
The night was very dark. Moonlight shone down from the sky. There was only Xu Bai and Yin Yue here.
When Ying Yue finished speaking in Xu Bai’s ear, she left.
Xu Bai didn’t move at all. He just stood where he was, his expression uncertain. In his mind, he was still thinking about what Ying Yue had said.
“My father said that Eunuch Wei will die soon. He will take advantage of the time when the army enters the Barbarian Race to go to the Great Yue State and fight with the Emperor of the Great Yue State.”
“He told me to tell you to go to Zhai Xing Lou to find him. Don’t tell anyone about this.”
“At that time, he will tell you the secrets of the Three Lives Mountain.”
These were the words that Shadow Moon had told him. When Xu Bai heard them, he did not know what kind of feeling he had in his heart.
The secret of the Three-Lives Mountain was important. After he returned, he had forgotten about it due to a series of events. However, the most important thing was that he had heard the news that Eunuch Wei was about to die.
“Die…” Xu Bai’s lips moved slightly as he repeated the word. Then, he turned around and returned to his temporary residence.
In the room, Ye Zi was making the bed.
Xu Bai didn’t have time to explain. He only said that she might not be back tonight and asked her to go to the Heavenly Musician.
Ye Zi was slightly disappointed, but she remembered that her young master had something important to do, so she did not stick to him. She nodded slightly and agreed.
Xu Bai left the room and left the palace, heading straight for Zhai Xing Lou.
As it was already night, Xu Bai’s footsteps were heavy as if there was no one else on the street.
If it was any other matter, he might not want to care, but he really wanted to care about this matter.
The matters of others were different from Eunuch Wei’s matters. Ever since he entered the capital, Eunuch Wei had treated him very well.
If Eunuch Wei really died for this matter, then Xu Bai’s heart would forever be filled with a knot.
If he wanted to interfere, how should he proceed? This was an important question. He couldn’t possibly run to the Emperor’s royal study and cause a ruckus. This was not the right time.
The news that Shadow Moon had just conveyed was from Director Mu. It seemed that Director Mu should have a way. Otherwise, he would not have called him over.
Walking on the dark street, Xu Bai took out the bead Eunuch Wei had given him.
This pearl was held in his hand. It was a ninth-grade Transcendent treasure, but it was so heavy now.
“No wonder Eunuch Wei warned me so much and even gave me a supreme treasure. So it was his last words before he died.”
Xu Bai didn’t know that such a big thing would happen, so he didn’t pay attention to it. He thought that Eunuch Wei was giving him the treasure because he was good to him.
After all, who in this world could kill Eunuch Wei?
Now that he thought about it, everything was so strange that Xu Bai felt a little sad.
Perhaps Eunuch Wei was willing to do this. After all, he had dedicated his entire life to the Great Chu. However, if he could save the situation, Xu Bai would definitely help.
“I hope you can give me a way.”
Standing at the entrance of Zhai Xing Lou, Xu Bai stepped inside and smoothly followed the stairs to the ninth floor.
The ninth floor was brightly lit. Director Mu was sitting on a chair with two cups of tea in front of him.
“Have a seat.”
With his strength, he naturally saw Xu Bai coming over. He didn’t say anything and just raised his hand to signal Xu Bai to sit down.
Xu Bai sat down and looked at the steaming tea. He didn’t beat around the bush.”How should we save him?”
At this point, there was no point in beating around the bush. It was better to say it directly.
Director Mu’s eyes were like vast stars as he stared into Xu Bai’s eyes.””Before we talk about this, let’s talk about the ruins first.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve already blocked the surroundings. No one can discover or hear.”
Xu Bai frowned and did not say anything. He waited for Director Mu’s next sentence.
“These are all the guesses in the ruins. Back then, I obtained it first and looked at it carefully.”Director Mu handed over a piece of paper. There were many small words on it.
“This is what I concluded, but it’s just someone else’s guess. It might not be accurate. After all, it’s just a guess.”
Xu Bai took it and read it carefully.
The oil lamp on the table shook slightly, and the light shone on Xu Bai’s face, flickering from time to time.
After the time for half an incense stick to burn, Xu Bai put down the paper in his hand and said,””No roots, no duckweed. It’s just that crazy old man’s guess.”
According to what was written on it, the crazy old man believed that there was a flaw in this world, which led to the depletion of resources.
To solve the problem of resource depletion, one way was to eliminate all the people in the industry and let everyone be ordinary people. Only then could the cycle be repeated.
When Xu Bai finished reading it, he felt that it was just the crazy old man’s guess.
Just like now, Emperor Chu and the others believed that as long as they unified the world and took down the Bizarre Market, the problem of resource depletion would not exist.
However, no one knew if it was true.
Therefore, it was just a guess. Xu Bai only needed to understand. What he wanted to know more was about Eunuch Wei.
“I know what you’re thinking.” Director Mu put down his teacup and sighed.”It’s very difficult to save him.”
Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and said,” I thought of a way when I came here. I guessed His Majesty’s thoughts. As long as the Great Yue State doesn’t help us, we don’t have to die.””
