Chapter 946: Chapter 558: [Thanks to “Book Friend 2017…7484” for the Alliance Leader Reward!]
Inside the main hall.
‘Little Transparent’ Li Bai found himself being simultaneously glared at by Miss, little Qian’er, and Zhu Yourong.
Even he felt a bit nervous.
After all, if he said even half a wrong word about Zhao Rong, he might be devoured by them.
Li Bai nodded.
Didn’t you see that they almost started a fight among themselves just now…
He was quite sure of that.
Under the oppressive gaze of the won present.
Li Bai secretly glanced at the familiar Dragon Coffin.
He felt that if he didn’t speak soon, Miss and little Qian’er might really get agitated…
Besides… there was another reason.
Li Bai suddenly stepped forward, blocking between Zhao Lingfei and the bronze tripod.
The three won kept their gaze on him without interruption, not particularly noticing the odd behavior of the man holding the sword, just waiting nervously for him to speak.
After blocking Miss and the bronze tripod related to the Li Clan, Li Bai turned back and said:
“What Daoist Zhu ntioned, the group of won in the rear hall not long ago, I probably know them.”
Zhao Lingfei and Zhao Qian’er almost said in unison, “Uncle Bai, what do you an by probably?”
Li Bai choked for a mont, looked at the two grandaunts at ho, and hurriedly nodded, “Alright, definitely them, I know them.”
Zhao Lingfei frowned, “Now you’re sure again, are you certain or not?”
Zhao Qian’er nodded, “We can’t be sloppy about brother Rong’er, Uncle Bai, hurry up and speak!”
Li Bai: “…”
Should I leave then?
The man with the sword felt that this ho was really impossible to stay in; ever since a certain son-in-law ca in, his status in Qinglian Inn had plumted. Previously, Miss and little Qian’er would call him ‘Uncle’ at the drop of a hat…
Li Bai was speechless, but still silently swallowed his bitterness with tears and answered honestly:
“It’s definitely them!”
He spoke firmly and resolutely, pounding his fist for emphasis, “Because I ca here not long ago and interacted with them.”
Seeing the expressions of Zhao Lingfei and Zhao Qian’er about to speak, Li Bai instantly understood and imdiately shook his head, “Miss, Qian’er, don’t worry, they’re outsiders and not involved with the scheming rats ambushing Zhao Rong. They should have… saved him when they saw he was severely injured.”
Seeing the won calm down, willing to continue listening, Li Bai nodded, and calmly recounted the matter.
“This ti when I ca to Great Li, besides Miss’s task for to protect the son-in-law, I also had to represent our Qinglian Inn in conducting business. Miss and Qian’er, you should know about this.”
The master and servant both nodded.
Li Bai glanced at the Nascent Soul lady teacher, who looked serious and focused, and continued:
“The other party in this business deal is a rather mysterious immortal force within the Great Li Dynasty. This force is related to a certain ancient Ancestor belief prevalent in the region… Well, the won in the rear hall not long ago are not concubines of the Great Li’s previous emperor. They belong to this force.”
Zhao Lingfei, Zhao Qian’er, and Zhu Yourong exchanged glances.
Being able to use the Great Li Imperial Mausoleum as a base suggested that this ‘rather ancient’ force Li Bai ntioned has deep connections with the Great Li’s Imperial Family and might even be the manipulators behind the scenes…
With this thought, the three won couldn’t help but recall the lonely Empress Dowager of Great Li they saw on the high platform midway up Sacrificial Moon Mountain not long ago…
But they quickly remained indifferent, as all three planned to return to Du You City. The outco of the Great Li matter had nothing to do with them as long as it didn’t involve Zhao Rong.
“Today is the appointed day for to et with this force for business discussions. They sent a guiding woman who directly brought to this Imperial Mausoleum, and it was in this Great Hall…”
When Li Bai ntioned the “guiding woman,” he restrained his gaze from looking at little Qian’er.
Because the little girl also knew her.
It was the Li woman Luo Xiu, released by Zhao Rong in Xingzi Town on that day.
Li Bai hesitated for a mont but thought it best not to ntion it.
At least, he couldn’t bring it up voluntarily.
Even he could imagine what might happen after Luo Xiu, who owned the Pure White Cold Palace, rescued Zhao Rong. He didn’t believe that the overly cautious little Qian’er wouldn’t have thought of it.
This was also why he wasn’t worried and was rather confident about Zhao Rong’s safety.
After all, that kid might not only be safe but also enjoying a great opportunity with romantic encounters.
He might be lounging indulgently in a gentle sanctuary, savoring the warm service and gratitude of a bold heroine towards her benefactor.
Being called “Benefactor,” “Young Master” by the Heroine…
Truly, all the peach-blossom luck in the world had been taken by him.
Li Bai sighed in emotion, completely forgetting the strong opposition from the towering divine-like woman not long ago regarding Zhao Rong, the son-in-law.
The man chuckled and said to the won, “So when I ca in just now, I was actually quite familiar…”
Little Qian’er said coldly, “Well, you’re familiar, and so is my brother Rong’er.”
“……”
Li Bai was initially stunned, then realized that the “familiar” in little Qian’er’s words had two anings: one for being acquainted and the other for being roasted.
The joke seed a bit cold.
“Ah… haha.” He let out a dry laugh to ease the awkwardness.
With a stern face, little Qian’er prompted Li Bai to quickly sober up, and he solemnly explained, “Wasn’t it uncertain before, so I didn’t speak first to avoid misunderstandings? Now that I’ve looked closely, it’s definitely them who rescued Zhao Rong, right here in this Great Hall. Even the way they disappeared is the sa.”
