Chapter 525: Chapter 511: Preditation Chapter 525: Chapter 511: Preditation “Your apprentice saw Yuan nhai at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion?” Gua Zhengnie was still in disbelief. “Yuan nhai is dead! He died in the Central Plains!”
That was the news spread by Xiao Bai.
“He isn’t dead. He’s at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. I’ve always suspected Xiao Bai is scheming sothing. I’ve been investigating him. Not only is Yuan nhai at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, but so is Ming Bei.” Gui Lang called his apprentice over for confirmation.
The apprentice hastily confird, “Yes, I saw them with my own eyes. They were all at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.”
Gui Lang then said, “Sect Leader, even given ten tis my courage, I wouldn’t dare lie to you. Be careful. If I’m not mistaken, they’ve already made preparations and set up an ambush. They’re waiting for the Alliance Leader to step in. And once you do, they’ll surely kill you.”
Gua Zhengnie gave a cold smile, sowhat in disbelief. “They want to kill ?”
Gui Lang replied, “Alliance Leader, think about it. Recently, Xiao Bai has been speaking ill of you daily and claid he would leave Sky Domain City. And all of a sudden, he changes his attitude and even recruits a large number of people, primarily from the Sky Domain Sect.
He kept hidden until it was too late to report Luo Hai’s case. Yet he still concealed the whereabouts of Yuan nhai and Ming Bei. If they’re at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, how could he possibly not know? He’s in charge, so why doesn’t he tell you?
The Sky Domain City originally belonged to Yuan nhai. Would Yuan nhai submit to us? Absolutely not! There’s only one explanation: Xiao Bai has colluded with Yuan nhai. What could they be up to if they have joined forces?”
After hearing this, Gua Zhengnie had an epiphany.
Gui Lang continued, “The sudden change and the recruitnt of so many Sky Domain Sect mbers… What’s his purpose? Obviously, he has so ulterior motive. It would be hard for him to kill you in your residence, but if he lures you out, especially to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, which has been prepared by Xiao Bai, you would indeed feel a chill down your spine. Trust , Xiao Bai is definitely bad news. There’s danger inside; once in, you might not be able to get out. Please think it over.”
Having heard this, Gua Zhengnie nodded and decided, “Let’s return.”
A cold sweat broke out on Gui Lang as he suggested, “We should imdiately gather our n, encircle the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, and probe for the truth. Whether Yuan nhai and Ming Bei are inside will soon be clarified.”
Gua Zhengnie nodded again.
“After killing Luo Hai so brutally, how could they join the Third Demon just for a few words and a handful of silver taels? Just thinking about it makes it suspicious.”
Gua Zhengnie was stroking his chin, pondering deeply. The more he thought, the more sense Gui Lang’s words made.
They turned around.
Xiao Bai and Xiao Han were heading towards the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. At the entrance, they hailed one of their n and asked, “Did the Alliance Leader enter the Drunken Immortal Pavilion?” They were awaiting the good news.
That man reported, “He was about to enter just now, but then Gui Lang arrived, frantically said sothing to the Alliance Leader, and then the Alliance Leader turned around and left.”
“When did this happen?”
“Just now.”
Xiao Bai was startled. After a mont of silence, he said, “Damn, Gui Lang must have discovered sothing. This bastard is bad news.”
Xiao Han suggested, “Could it be that you’re just being overly cautious, father?”
“No, Gua Zhengnie was already at the entrance, and Gui Lang has always been suspicious of . Gui Lang arrived, and Gua Zhengnie imdiately changed his mind and didn’t enter. He didn’t even greet . Isn’t that odd enough?”
Hearing this, Xiao Han asked, “What should we do?”
“There must be danger.” Xiao Bai, however, didn’t know where the danger lay. He called that man over again and ordered, “You must rush up and inform Yuan nhai. Our plan might have been exposed. Ask him to bring his n down imdiately. I will go and delay Gua Zhengnie. No matter what happens tonight, Gua Zhengnie must not be allowed to return to his mansion!” Xiao Bai didn’t want to take any risks; he intended to kill Gua Zhengnie no matter what.
The man imdiately rushed into the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.
Xiao Han asked, “Father, could the situation possibly not be as serious as you think?”
Xiao Bai told him, “It may be worse than we imagined. Gui Lang has always been suspicious of . Gua Zhengnie was at the entrance but left without entering. Isn’t that suspicious enough? We can’t afford to take this risk. Understand?”
Xiao Han nodded in acknowledgnt.
Xiao Bai added, “Even if we lose more n, it’s better than losing both of us. The situation might get ssy, but we’d better ss things up now.”
With haste and heavy hearts, Xiao Bai and Xiao Han rushed forward. The sky had already grown darker.
Xiao Han pointed ahead, asking, “Isn’t that Gua Zhengnie over there?”
Xiao Bai nodded, spying Gui Lang and Gua Zhengnie along with several followers heading north. They entered a crowded street.
“How can we stop him? If he really suspects us, what are we supposed to do?” Xiao Han was bewildered and hesitant.
Xiao Bai grabbed two black cloth strips, one for himself and one for his son, saying, “We charge forward and keep him occupied.”
Before he could finish his sentence, a young girl burst out from the shadows with her face covered by a black cloth strip, lunging toward Xiao Bai. The girl was Chun’er, and her sudden appearance startled Xiao Bai.
Chun’er and Xiang Qiao, each with a bundle on their back, had co together.
Xiao Bai exclaid, “What are you doing here?”
Chun’er replied, “Aren’t you planning to kill Gua Zhengnie tonight? I ca to find you.”
“Damn it, you fool! Didn’t I tell you to stay at Gua Zhengnie’s mansion?”
“I don’t like that place.” Seeing the nervous expression on the two n’s faces, Chun’er asked, “What happened?”
Xião Bó responded to this, as an idea ford in his mind and he ward to Chun’er, “Chún’er, you must help us father and son; otherwise we won’t survive tonight. You have to keep Gua Zhengnie busy, no matter what. Within the next four hours, you can’t let Gua Zhengnie return to his mansion.”
Chun’er did not understand.
Pointing ahead, Xiao Bai said, “That’s Gua Zhengnie. No matter what, you have to keep him engaged. You can even promise to marry him. But never allow him to return to his mansion within four hours. Otherwise, we are dood tonight.”
Chun’er was even more puzzled.
“Stop thinking about it, distract him as usual, do not ask anything else.”
“You promised to marry .”
“I promised, I’ll grandly marry you.”
“Alright.” Having said that, Chun’er turned around, with Xiang Qiao following her. Chun’er was rescued from the Yihong Brothel by Xiao Bai. She had been sold there, and if it weren’t for him, she would have spent her entire life there.
But Xiao Bai stopped them, “Give the bundle.”
Chun’er and Xiang Qiao hastily gave him the bundle, which Xiao Bai tossed into a shop.
“A lot of silver taels are in there!” Chun’er exclaid.
“Don’t worry, I’ll return it all to you later.” Xiao Bai waved his hand and Chun’er, with Xiang Qiao running after her, took off.
Xiao Bai turned back.
Xiao Han was still worried and asked, “Can she really distract Gua Zhengnie?”
“We have to trust her.” Xiao Bai didn’t have a better plan and this seed more secure than the previous one. He turned to Xiao Han, “Hurry up and coordinate with Yuan nhai. Tell him to make a move in North City, in Zun Yu’s territory. Rember, only act on Zun Yu’s territory.”
Zun Yu lived in North City, across his territory was Gua Zhengnie’s mansion, the last area to cross.
“Father, what are you about to do?”
“I am going to find Zun Yu, I hope I can persuade him to join us.”
“You want to persuade Zun Yu to join us?”
“Yes, hopefully, I can. Make sure to tell Yuan nhai. Only start once you’re in Zun Yu’s territory. I’ll try to persuade Zun Yu!” Xiao Bai looked forward, staring straight ahead.
Xiao Han walked away.
Xiao Bai was watching Chun’er, who was up ahead with Gua Zhengnie, trying to see if Chun’er could really distract him.
Chun’er rushed over and called out, “Sir!”
Gua Zhengnie was taken aback, and turning around, he said, “Chun’er, what are you and Xiang Qiao doing here?”
“You had to go out on an important task and I was bored at ho, of course, I wanted to go out for a stroll.” Chun’er asked, “Have you finished your task, sir?”
“Yes, I have.” Gua Zhengnie and his n began to slow down.
Xiao Bai quickly turned and headed to another alley towards Zun Yu’s mansion.
“Are we heading back ho now?” Chun’er suddenly surrounded Gua Zhengnie.
Gua Zhengnie nodded.
“Sir, it’s still early, you never take out for a stroll.” Chun’er started acting like a playful child, looking around eagerly.
“Next ti, I have important business this ti.”
“You always say next ti, I don’t know how many tis you’ve said it. I won’t have it, you have to accompany for a stroll tonight.”
“My dear Chun’er, I really have sothing important to do.”
“I’m hungry.” Chun’er grabbed Gua Zhengnie’s clothes and started to act coquettishly.
Gua Zhengnie’s heart lted, he said, “Let Xiang Qiao accompany you.”
Chun’er continued to behave spoiled, “How can Xiang Qiao’s company compare to yours? I want you, my lord, to accompany . Just for a day. Please, I just want to have so food on the streets.”
Gua Zhengnie looked at Gui Lang.
Gui Lang said in a low voice, “The business is more important.”
“Please, sir, I’m really hungry. Can you accompany to eat sothing before going back? Just once.” Chun’er held on to Gua Zhengnie’s clothes tightly.
Gua Zhengnie’s heart imdiately lted, he turned back to Gui Lang and said, “You go back first, relay my orders, get everyone ready, I’ll be back soon.” He didn’t think the matter was urgent.
Chun’er was bouncing and hopping with joy, like a blooming flower, she said, “That’s great!” She pointed forward and said, “I want to eat this, and that,” pulling Gua Zhengnie with her.
Gui Lang had no choice but to leave the n behind, and hurriedly headed towards the North City, constantly pondering along the way, “I will certainly not let Xiao Bai off tonight, I must expose him and leave him without a place to be buried.”
He needed so ti to prepare his forces.
In great urgency, Yuan nhai and Ming Bei received the news and rushed out with hundreds of n. On the way, they bumped into Xiao Han.
