"let's go!"
Xia Binghai and the other three supported each other and stumbled out.
She was reluctant to invite Li Baitian and Li Baitian to the party, but this was the intention of Xia Xue, the core figure at the party. She originally wanted to suppress the two people and ask them to keep a low profile and not be too arrogant tomorrow, but she did not expect to see this scene.
She didn't even expect that Li Baitian would act arrogantly in her name. Even if the Xia family wanted to pursue it, it would be unreasonable. After all, it was because of her, the Xia family's young lady, that they killed the servant. Even if outsiders had complaints, they would not. What to do.
Are all the monks in Haoqi City so thoughtful?
And there is no psychological pressure in killing people and dissecting their bodies?
"Ye family, Ye Wudao, I remember you!"
Xia Binghai said angrily. Before he could walk a few steps, his anger surged and he spat out another rainbow.
…
Inside the mansion.
Li Baitian and Jiang Chuan returned to their respective residences.
Now that the servants in the mansion have been cleared out and no one is eavesdropping, they all want to take advantage of this time to make good use of the resources they just got.
Li Baitian wanted to try to strengthen his hands, but no matter how he was roasted by ordinary flames, his skin didn't even turn red.
He had no choice but to take the candle and use the candle flame to burn his eyes. Currently, only the eyes can be tempered with ordinary flames.
He crushed a few spiritual stones, crushed a few recovery herbs, let the breath flow into his eyes, and smoked them repeatedly.
There is no initial stinging sensation, but rather warmth, which is quite comfortable once you get used to it.
After an unknown amount of time, the candle burned out and the flame went out. Li Baitian gave up.
After a moment of recollection, he opened his eyes, and the scenery he saw became several times clearer, and the sense of smell in his nose also improved, becoming smoother and sharper.
"The idea is clear and the effect is great, but the progress of ordinary flame refining is getting slower and slower."
"It's better to ask for help from others than to ask for yourself. You still have to get your own flame as soon as possible."
"My understanding of this world is still too little."
Li Baitian murmured to himself. He thought this was an ordinary world of cultivating immortals, but the magical ability of visual objects was beyond his knowledge.
When Li Huahua starts to concentrate on visual objects, he has to observe carefully.
He suddenly remembered the crystal ball. The organization had released news to him before.
Take out the crystal ball and look closely. There is a line of small words inside: [Find out the truth about the spy’s disappearance and do not reveal his identity. 】
"You don't need to tell me, I also know that I need to find out the truth. That's what I'm here to do."
Li Baitian frowned, his mind sank into the crystal ball, and he replied with a line of small words: [Don't always send me messages, I'm very busy. 】
"When this message was sent, I seemed to be talking to Jiang Chuan about this matter. Could it be that the organization knew that Jiang Chuan wanted to retreat, so it issued this order for me to continue taking action?"
This thought made Li Baitian's hair stand on end. It should be impossible. No matter how awesome Jiutian was, it was impossible to monitor his every move in real time. It was just a coincidence.
…
In the evening.
A group of monks dressed as soldiers came to guard the mansion.
They were monks sent by Xia Jiuquan to assist in the investigation. According to the adjutant's wishes, this team was at Li Baitian's disposal.
The adjutant's name was Xia Weiguo. He had a standard Chinese character, a very decent face, and a very elegant conversation. He didn't say much when he saw the corpse in the house, and ordered his men to clean it up, and told not to reveal a word to anyone.
His actions made Li Baitian feel good about him, but he always felt that there was an evil spirit in this man's eyes, and there was a hint of ill-intention in his eyes.
He shook his head. Perhaps it was because his eyes had just been strengthened recently and he was sometimes very sensitive. Adjutant Xia behaved well and did not look like a villain. One cannot pretend to be arrogant.
"Master Ye, there are a total of thirteen monks including me, and their cultivation realms are all in the late stage of foundation establishment. Mine is in the early stage of Golden Core, and I can start at any time."
Xia Weiguo gave a brief introduction and said that the military's orders and prohibitions were extremely well demonstrated in this team.
Li Baitian could tell that this was not a ragtag army, but a well-trained army, full of iron-blooded killing aura.
Li Baitian: "City Lord Xia has treated me well, so I would like to thank you here. However, Miss Xia Binghai just came over to invite me to the party tomorrow, and my departure from the city will have to be postponed for a few days."
"In this case, I will first arrange for my subordinates to stay in the mansion to protect the young master. If there is a useful place, the young master can give orders at any time."
Xia Weiguo was serious about his words. After bowing and saluting, he led his soldiers and dispersed.
"He actually dispatched an elite force. What does the Lord of Xia City want?"
Li Baitian scratched his head.
Jiangchuan said: "They have a plan with the academy. If something happens to us on his territory, it will widen the gap between them and the academy."
"Anyway, be careful when you leave the city in a few days."
"Tomorrow the geniuses will gather together and try to get more information."
Li Baitian said.
Geniuses are all young and are the focus of family training, but this is how ordinary people perceive geniuses.
For a spy, a genius is a young man who has access to the family's core secrets and is impetuous. Such people are the easiest to reveal secrets. Whether it is provocation or compliments, it is easy to pry their mouths open.
…
at night.
Li Baitian heard movement outside the window.
If it were before, he might not be able to hear anything, but now that his skull has been refined, his ears are extremely strong.
Listening carefully, he seemed to hear music and someone singing.
He stood up, opened the window, and looked out. What he saw was pitch black. Not even a single light was turned on in the city at night, and the same was true in the mansion.
Even though his eyes were strengthened, he couldn't see very far.
But with the windows open, the music became clearer.
"As the sun sets and the sky turns dark, every house has its doors closed..."
"The magpies and crows rush to the big trees, and the domestic sparrows and turtles rush to the eaves..."
"..."
Li Baitian frowned: "This tune sounds like an opera."
How could anyone be singing outside in the dark at night?
He went out and walked to Jiang Chuan's house and knocked on the door: "Brother Jiang, don't sleep. There is something going on."
After a while, there was a creak and the door opened.
There was a trace of sullenness on Jiang Chuan's face: "What are you doing, disturbing my skin care in the middle of the night?"
Li Baitian was startled because Jiang Chuan had a mask on his face and looked like he was neither human nor ghost. He pointed to the outside world and said, "Someone is singing an opera. Did you hear it?"
"What the hell, no one is singing. Are you suffering from a nervous breakdown? Just wait and I'll prescribe you some medicine."
Jiang Chuan turned around and went back to the house and took out a small medicine bag: "You must be too anxious. People who practice immortality all year round have this problem. They have auditory hallucinations and even visual hallucinations in severe cases. One dose a day can alleviate the symptoms."
After saying that, he was ready to go back to the house.
Li Baitian held him back: "There is really someone singing an opera, please listen carefully."
Seeing that he didn't look like he was faking it, Jiang Chuan listened patiently for a while, but heard nothing. He sighed and said, "If it doesn't work, let's go back to Haoqi City as soon as possible. The pressure there is not as big as here."
