Chapter 947: Chapter 558: [Thanks to “Book Friend 2017…7484” for the Alliance Leader Reward!] (2)
Zhu Yourong suddenly said, “Li Daoist, are you saying that this Great Hall is the entrance to the location of that mysterious force? Is there a secret chanism here similar to an Ancient Transmission Array?”
She frowned and scrutinized the brand new Great Hall, making so guesses.
Li Bai thought for a mont, then nodded, “That’s about right. I followed the guide here, much earlier than Zhao Rong. Actually, I don’t even know how that kid found this place and turned it into a battlefield… This Great Hall has a chanism that’s related to the empty Dragon Coffin and the bronze tripod inside.”
He pointed to the Dragon Coffin behind him, then smiled and said to Zhao Lingfei, who was listening attentively:
“Miss, you’d better not touch this thing; it seems quite precious, an ancient array. That guide also instructed the sa. Don’t worry, I’m very clever. I pretended not to be paying attention, holding my sword with indifference like an expert, but I had already morized the process of activating the array’s chanism, hahaha…”
Li Bai half-jokingly explained.
He mainly wanted Zhao Lingfei to stay away from these things of the Li Clan and not touch them… For this reason, he even told a joke, which he thought was very humorous, in the back.
Unfortunately.
Zhao Lingfei, Zhao Qian’er, and Zhu Yourong didn’t laugh.
“……”
You guys are really uncooperative. Damn if Zhao Rong were the one who said it, you’d definitely be smiling ear to ear. I know it must be that annoying…
The sword-holding man felt deeply resentful inside.
Zhao Lingfei said softly, “Uncle Bai.”
Li Bai looked up, “What is it, Miss?”
She turned her head to look at the Dragon Coffin behind the man, which seed to be the array’s chanism:
“Although before my mother left, she entrusted to cultivate peacefully until the age of eighteen, and to hand over all the household affairs and business of the second house to you and Uncle Kun, but…”
Zhao Lingfei lowered her eyes, “I’m already seventeen now, and I’ve beco independent. Actually, you and Uncle Kun can start preparing for when I’m eighteen, so I can gradually adapt… and learn about the family’s business affairs.”
Li Bai was taken aback.
The woman said softly, “For example, this ti when you ca to talk business in Great Li, you should have told earlier, Lingfei.”
Little Qian’er did not intervene to speak.
“Oh, oh, alright Miss, I’ll tell Uncle Kun about this when I get back.”
Li Bai nodded with a smile, pretending to be unaware as he responded.
However, at this mont, he took a deep breath in his heart.
He felt the Miss was becoming more inscrutable. Before when she had yet to arrive at the Taiching Four Mansions it was fine, but now, even he and Zhao Kun, who had watched her grow up from the second house, sotis couldn’t tell what she was thinking.
Whether what she said ant sothing intentionally or unintentionally.
For example, right now, the Miss was clearly talking about family business affairs, but Li Bai always felt she was hinting at sothing else, pointing to other matters.
Whether it was truly about discussing family business, or intended to admonish them, or seriously discussing and conveying ssages with these old people, depended on their own understanding.
Can’t we talk in a simpler way?
Li Bai sighed secretly.
Additionally, why is the Miss, who is so smart and naturally talented at leading, acting like a fool in front of a certain brat, getting coaxed to the point where she can’t find her way back, and being sweet-talked and deceived about everything, while still smiling and nodding foolishly in belief. Sa with little Qian’er.
The sword-holding man remained expressionless, deciding not to care about these complex matters anymore.
Once back, he would relay the Miss’s words truthfully, leaving the problem to the other old people.
At this mont, Zhao Lingfei directly said to Li Bai, who seed a bit lost in thought:
“Uncle Bai, since you know the activation chanism of this Teleportation Array, let’s transport now to find them and have them return my husband.”
Xiao Qian’er and Zhu Yourong both nodded, looking toward the sword-holding man together.
However, Li Bai collected his expression, revealing a solemn look and shook his head, “Miss, absolutely not. There’s sothing you don’t know about, the customs and rules handed down by their force with a long history. Among them, there’s a special custom.”
He paused, selling a point.
Zhao Lingfei and the two other won frowned slightly, unable to resist asking, “What special custom?”
Li Bai, unfazed, glanced at the worried expressions of the three won, secretly thinking he had indeed startled them.
He then said solemnly, “This teleportation gate leads to their sacred land. Among won, only the Li females can pass through the Teleportation Array to enter the secret land. If we try to force our way in, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
The words “consequences will be unimaginable” from a Second Grade Martial Artist had quite an intimidating effect on Zhu Yourong and Zhao Lingfei.
Xiao Qian’er asked with puzzlent, “Then how did you get in?”
“Oh, you’re asking about .” Li Bai nodded calmly, saying naturally, “I am a man. There’s no rule saying n can’t enter. Besides, they know and granted so form of identity recognition, allowing to pass through the array freely…”
Zhao Lingfei and the three won: “……”
“Ahem.” Li Bai cleared his throat and confidently said to Zhao Lingfei, “Miss, let go in alone. I’ll demand Zhao kid back from them. I know their leader and although these Li females are quite proud and aloof, they still have to give so face.”
“……”
They all felt that what this earnest man said seed rather unreliable, yet they couldn’t argue, as only he had been there.
A mont later, the group discussed it again, and under Li Bai’s strong persuasion, Zhao Lingfei and the three won reluctantly agreed to his request.
However, they repeatedly instructed him to bring Zhao Rong back as soon as possible. Otherwise, the three won, even at the risk of breaking the so-called special customs of that mysterious force, would rush in to rescue him.
The sword-holding man adopted a serious expression and patted his chest loudly.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Lingfei, Zhao Qian’er, and Zhu Yourong exchanged glances, remaining silent.
They were silent for a while, then at Li Bai’s joking request, they turned around and temporarily left the Great Hall.
Leaving the Great Hall, with its brand new hidden array chanism, to Li Bai.
Watching the three won leave with so hesitation, Li Bai sighed.
The smile on his face faded, he lifted his hand and patted the nonexistent dust off his collar, then turned back to the Dragon Coffin.
Truth be told, there was no such ancient force’s special custom; just a drop of blood from a Li female would activate the chanism.
Li Bai touched the bronze tripod and thought for a mont, deciding to take a trip to borrow a few drops of Li female’s blood.
In fact, among the three won outside, soone’s blood t the criteria, but Li Bai had no intention of asking them.
He feared this was the “King’s” obvious plot, deliberately saving Zhao Rong and attracting the people she wanted to et…
Outside, Zhao Lingfei and Xiao Qian’er distanced themselves a bit from Zhu Yourong.
The two exchanged a glance.
Zhao Lingfei took out a Jade Gourd and closed her eyes to contact Teacher Bai.
She didn’t completely pin her hopes on Li Bai.
Then, in the next second, Zhao Lingfei frowned.
“Teacher Bai’s Sword Qi is useless now!”
