781: Chapter 781: He Wants to See Me?
“Princess Sasha, did you only cooperate with Liang Yishan, or did you also work with the entire core elder council?”
After a long while, Bai Xiaofan turned his head and stared at the White Tiger as he asked.
“Although I am aware that after telling you the truth, you might not help me, I still have to say it.
Based on the intelligence I’ve gathered, and from what Princess Sasha told me when she sought me out, she must have cooperated with the entire core elder council!”
Hearing Bai Xiaofan’s question, the White Tiger hesitated for a moment before solemnly speaking to Bai Xiaofan.
To the White Tiger’s response, Bai Xiaofan was not surprised in the slightest.
Since the time he had gone to the island nation to rescue Xiong Yourong and Xiaoman, it was already evident that the Dragon Shadow’s core elder council was no good.
Even though they had later entrusted him with managing the Dragon Shadow division in Jiang Province,
That was merely their strategem!
When Bai Xiaofan spoke, the White Tiger was taken aback!
Was he indeed refusing to help him seek vengeance?
It wasn’t surprising!
Even Bai Xiaofan himself wouldn’t want to make enemies with the Dragon Shadow’s core elder council just for their sake.
After all, their relationship with Bai Xiaofan wasn’t that close!
Perhaps if it were Xiaoman, Bai Xiaofan would still take on the fight, knowing he was outmatched, wouldn’t he?
Thinking this, the White Tiger somewhat regretted that he had drawn swords with Vermilion Bird, also known as Xiaoman, in his past effort to protect Princess Sasha!
“Get up, what are you still kneeling for?
Have Uncle Tang stir-fry a few more dishes.
You sit down and tell me in detail what happened after going to the graveyard, and about Princess Sasha!”
Seeing the White Tiger still foolishly kneeling there, Bai Xiaofan kicked him in dissatisfaction and chastised.
The White Tiger, not minding being kicked by Bai Xiaofan, hurriedly stood up and sat across from Bai Xiaofan, looking at him in disbelief.
Even Uncle Tang Wenbin was equally incredulous!
“Nonsense, don’t you know that I’m not pleased with your Dragon Shadow?
If it weren’t for my lack of strength to defeat them now, just based on how they treated my Xiaoman, I would have long charged into Capital City and wiped out your damn Dragon Shadow core elder council!”
Bai Xiaofan rolled his eyes at the White Tiger, deeply doubting the latter’s intelligence.
“Haha, I just knew Bai Xiaofan couldn’t stand Dragon Shadow.
Uncle Tang, could you go stir-fry a few more dishes for us?
I want to have a few drinks with Brother Bai!”
After hearing what Bai Xiaofan said, the White Tiger laughed like a child, vigorously wiping the tears from his face before addressing the equally excited Uncle Tang.
“Hey hey hey, alright, I’m on it!”
Uncle Tang was also happily nodding his head.
Regardless of whether vengeance was truly attainable, at least there was hope now, wasn’t there?
Having hope meant having something to aspire to, a reason to keep living, a goal to strive for!
Subsequently, the White Tiger told Bai Xiaofan everything he knew, in great detail.
“After you return, inform those Dragon Shadow members following you that you’ll be coming out to join me.
Those who wish to come along may do so, and those who don’t, let them leave without making it difficult for them!”
Having listened to the White Tiger’s account, Bai Xiaofan nodded slightly and then softly instructed the White Tiger.
“I’ve thought about this already, but never got around to implementing it, mainly because I was afraid of driving them off only to have the core elder council’s people come to kill me!”
The White Tiger nodded emphatically, indicating he had entertained this very thought since returning to Nanjiang City.
“Relax, if I’m not mistaken, they wouldn’t dare to make a move on me just yet, at most they would just send some shrimp soldiers and crab generals!” Bai Xiaofan said confidently, which somewhat made the White Tiger a bit skeptical.
“How can you be so certain?
Could it be that you also have people in the council of elders?”
Hearing the White Tiger’s words, Bai Xiaofan chuckled playfully.
“I don’t indeed have people, but I’m aware that if they wanted to send a real powerhouse to assassinate me, there’d surely be someone to stop them!”
During the conversation, Bai Xiaofan was reminded of the times he fought with Li Qiu and the General when suddenly those who had come to save him appeared in his mind.
According to He Muzi’s analysis, all these people were sent by the Witch.
This old guy had always wanted to kill him, yet he saved him every time he was in peril, simply because Bai Xiaofan’s cultivation hadn’t reached his expectations yet.
As for what those expectations were, Bai Xiaofan guessed it must be similar to the General’s.
Nascent Soul early stage!
Once his cultivation reached the early stage of Nascent Soul, it might be the time the Witch would truly take action.
And to lay out such a grand scheme, as well as mobilize so many experts, the Witch’s cultivation level was probably the terrifying Divinity Transformation Stage!
Seeing Bai Xiaofan swear by it, the White Tiger, although puzzled about where his confidence came from, did not ask further.
Following that, the two of them drank a bit more.
Right when they had drained several pots and were about to drink some more, Bai Xiaofan’s phone rang.
After answering the call, Bai Xiaofan asked softly.
“He wants to meet me?
After hanging up, Bai Xiaofan called for the White Tiger and hurried towards home.
The call was from He Muzi, informing him someone wanted to meet him.
Bai Xiaofan had never dreamed that person would take the initiative to see him.
After arriving back at the entrance of his home, Bai Xiaofan signaled to the White Tiger to head to the nearby Dragon Shadow branch and relay the conversation they just had to the other members.
“Xiaofan, he’s already waiting for you at the coffee shop not far across the street!” He Muzi greeted him as soon as Bai Xiaofan pushed the door to enter.
Glancing at Yuan’er sitting alone not far away and cultivating, Bai Xiaofan also silently sighed.
It was clear that He Miaor and Jiang Feifei had already gone to Capital City.
And Chen Xiner and Murong Wan, the two young ladies, had also started to try taking over at the company.
The once bustling home had suddenly become much quieter.
“Yuan’er, come with me; you’re just bored alone at home anyway!” Bai Xiaofan called out to Yuan’er, then left home with the two.
Accross from Bai Xiaofan’s residence, a coffee shop had opened at some unknown time, and its business didn’t seem too good.
Plastered on the shop’s door was a sign for subletting.
Alas, the owner of this shop was foolish enough to think that Bai Xiaofan’s neighborhood, not as developed as the city center and lacking the population to compete with it, was a suitable place for a coffee shop.
Wasn’t that just a losing venture?
