925: Chapter 925: You’re Not Being Honest 925: Chapter 925: You’re Not Being Honest Bai Xiaofan would never want Murong Wan’s flawless legs to suffer any lasting damage or bear even the slightest scar in the future!
The healing process was a long one.
Murong Wan felt the celestial energy transferred from Bai Xiaofan’s palm repairing the wounds on her legs.
A deep sense of comfort washed over her, and she unconsciously closed her eyes.
Before long, she drifted off into sweet sleep.
Hearing Murong Wan’s faint snoring, Bai Xiaofan chuckled indulgently.
Ever since being captured by Montas and brought here, Murong Wan had appeared composed on the surface.
But after all, she was just a girl, and her heart must have been gripped by extre fear!
Now that she was safe and had Bai Xiaofan by her side, it was only natural for her to relax and sleep soundly.
By the ti Bai Xiaofan confird that Murong Wan’s broken left leg had been restored to perfection, quite a bit of ti had already passed!
He pulled a nearby blanket gently over Murong Wan and then pushed the door open to step outside.
Originally, he had planned on returning ho today.
But since Murong Wan was so thoroughly exhausted, he decided they’d rest for the night and head back tomorrow.
“Mr.
Bai, our n in Spain have sent back word.
Before they even arrived, Montas’s forces were completely wiped out by soone!”
Anthony, who had been waiting for Bai Xiaofan for quite so ti, ca up to him imdiately and whispered this news.
“Wiped out?”
Bai Xiaofan frowned slightly, then pulled out his phone to call Wolf.
Just as he had suspected, it had been Elder Wu who sent people to handle it.
“Oh, Mr.
Bai, there’s soone who wants to et you.
Do you have ti?”
After so hesitation, Anthony asked Bai Xiaofan.
“Soone wants to et ?
Who?”
Bai Xiaofan asked with a puzzled look.
Knowing Anthony’s personality, he was not soone who would usually go out of his way to persuade Bai Xiaofan on behalf of others.
“It’s a man from Gold Tower who needs to find a team of experts to accompany him to an ancient Gold Tower Underground Royal Tomb to search for a staff that symbolizes his sect’s power and prestige!”
Anthony had apparently anticipated Bai Xiaofan’s question and softly explained as soon as he heard it.
“What made her approach you, and why are you willing to introduce her to ?
That doesn’t seem like your style!”
Bai Xiaofan looked at Anthony, his voice low but probing.
“Ahem, you really notice everything, Mr.
Bai.
It’s because this person has a junior apprentice sister, who happens to be one of my wives.
When she heard that I know you, she ca to for help.
I’d had a bit too much to drink that day and impulsively promised her!”
Anthony scratched his head with a hint of embarrassnt after being questioned by Bai Xiaofan.
That’s just how n are!
Which man wouldn’t want to show off in front of the woman he likes?
Even Anthony, heir to the Chai Erde family, was no exception!
“Alright, set up the eting.
Have her et here in this courtyard!”
Bai Xiaofan thought for a mont before responding to Anthony.
With Bai Xiaofan’s permission, Anthony felt relieved.
He had initially worried about what would happen if Bai Xiaofan refused to et her.
To his surprise, Bai Xiaofan decided to give him this favor!
Anthony imdiately called the person and sent his n to escort her over.
anwhile, Anthony had people prepare so food and drinks, as well as set up several large heaters in the courtyard for warmth!
The current season was already quite cold, and the Chinese New Year was just around the corner!
Even if Bai Xiaofan didn’t feel the chill, Anthony and the others surely would.
Furthermore, when Murong Wan woke up later, she would certainly feel cold without Bai Xiaofan’s celestial energy protecting her.
Bai Xiaofan instructed Anthony to have soone buy a set of clothes for Murong Wan.
Then the two sat in the courtyard, ward by the heaters, sipping drinks and chatting leisurely.
Shortly after, the door was pushed open, and a slightly lean man, about 1.7 ters tall, walked inside.
Anthony saw the visitor and introduced the two.
Isis!
As Bai Xiaofan sized up the man, the latter was sizing him up as well.
The three soon sat down together.
“Mr.
God of slaughter, Anthony must have already explained my purpose to you.
May I inquire about your thoughts?
Would you be willing to join ?
You can na your own price for compensation!”
Isis, without any preamble, directly laid out his purpose after taking a seat.
Rather than respond imdiately, Bai Xiaofan gently sipped his drink, idly spun his glass, and allowed a playful smirk to form on his lips.
“I agreed to et you as a favor to Anthony.
Initially, I thought if you seed decent and the pay was generous, I could reluctantly agree.
But now, I find you far from honest.
Let’s not.”
As Bai Xiaofan spoke, he cast a faint yet penetrating gaze at Isis.
Anthony, listening to Bai Xiaofan’s words, looked a bit bewildered.
He had no idea why Bai Xiaofan had co to such a conclusion.
How was Isis not honest?
Still, Anthony chose not to intervene; after all, his job had rely been to introduce Isis to Bai Xiaofan.
Whether or not the two reached an agreent was no concern of his.
As long as they didn’t resort to violence, Anthony considered it a success!
Isis, however, frowned slightly on hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, his confused gaze fixed on Bai Xiaofan.
What did he an?
Had Bai Xiaofan noticed sothing?
Impossible!
“I’m sorry; I don’t understand Mr.
God of slaughter’s aning,”
Isis smiled apologetically, indicating his confusion over Bai Xiaofan’s comnt.
“If you don’t understand, never mind.
Since you’re Anthony’s friend, let’s sit together and enjoy the food and drinks!”
Bai Xiaofan didn’t dwell on the matter, flashing a faint smile as he spoke.
He then accepted the clothes Anthony’s assistant had bought for Murong Wan and turned to head back into the room.
“You lazy kitten, awake already?”
As soon as Bai Xiaofan entered the room, he saw Murong Wan curled up in the blanket, with only her little head poking out.
“You lousy brother-in-law, I thought you left without and didn’t want anymore!”
Murong Wan looked at Bai Xiaofan, her disheveled state forgotten as she threw off the blanket and hugged him, her voice brimming with grievance.
When she had woken up earlier and realized Bai Xiaofan wasn’t at her side, she’d nearly burst into tears!
