Chapter 374: Betting?
Lin Ruoxi smiled brightly, but Su Bai looked confused.
"Ms. Lin, have we met before?"
Lin Ruoxi was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Su Bai to say this. She smiled and said, "Inspector Su has been in Jinling, and I'm in Zhongzhou. Naturally, we haven't met, but well---"
She changed the subject and looked at Su Bai with a different look in her eyes.
"Although I have never met Inspector Su, I have long heard of his great name. My good sister, in particular, is very concerned about him! When I came to Jinling this time, she secretly asked me to check on you and see if you had returned safely---"
Lin Ruoxi blinked her big eyes, full of smiles, and looked at Su Bai and continued, "Now that Inspector Su has returned safely, I think that girl can rest assured!"
While Su Bai was silent, a beautiful figure flashed through his mind.
He chuckled and said, "Miss Lin, you don't have to be polite. Just call me Su Bai."
"If you see Miss Xia this time, please thank her for her concern on my behalf. Also, please tell her that my sister's injury has healed!"
Lin Ruoxi looked at Su Bai for a while, and suddenly snorted.
"It seems Qianyu's concern for you wasn't in vain. She actually guessed it was her."
"But, do you think I'm just a messenger? Humph! If you have anything to say, tell her in person. I don't want to be a middleman!"
Su Bai smiled dumbly and said, "Okay then. Next time I go to Zhongzhou, I will definitely thank Miss Xia in person."
"Miss Xia?" Lin Ruoxi's pretty brows furrowed. "Su Bai, what do you mean? Qianyu took Uncle Feng's venerable order to save you and disobeyed the orders of her family elders to come to Jinling. Isn't your name too heartbreaking?"
Su Bai was slightly stunned, as if he didn't understand what was wrong.
Although he has lived two lives as a human being, and in his previous life he was the mighty Haotian Immortal Lord who dominated the heavens, he has almost no emotional experience and has no understanding of women's minds.
Shaking his head slightly, Su Bai didn't care about Lin Ruoxi's attitude. Since she was Xia Qianyu's best friend, she was also his friend.
"Miss Lin's words make Su not know how to explain it. How I address Miss Xia is a matter between me and Miss Xia. It seems to have nothing to do with Miss Lin, right?"
"you---"
Lin Ruoxi snorted coldly and stopped talking about this topic, but she felt sorry for Xia Qianyu in her heart.
"Miss Lin, if you have nothing else to say, I'll take my leave now!"
After Su Bai finished speaking, he was about to leave, but before he could move, Lin Ruoxi stopped him and said, "Wait!"
"Miss Lin, is there anything else?"
Lin Ruoxi took a deep breath, suppressed her dissatisfaction, and said in a deep voice: "Su Bai, on behalf of my master, I now formally invite you to report to Zhongzhou Tiangong!"
"Debrief?"
Su Bai frowned, "Do I still need to report on my work?"
"Don't forget, you are the Jiangnan Inspector of the Dragon Kingdom Heavenly Palace. As the leader of the four great venerables of the Dragon Kingdom Heavenly Palace, my master naturally has the authority to require you to report to the Heavenly Palace."
"Don't go!"
Su Bai refused very straightforwardly.
"You dare to disobey orders? You are the inspector of the Heavenly Palace and must obey the orders of the Heavenly Palace!" Lin Ruoxi's face looked a little ugly.
In the Dragon Kingdom, as long as the gods don't come out, no one dares to disobey the orders of Master Gong.
Su Bai had just not bothered with her for Xia Qianyu's sake, but now his expression turned cold.
"Ms. Lin, please move aside! I'm not interested in going to Zhongzhou Tiangong right now. Maybe I'll visit in person when I have time in the future, but definitely not now."
"Also, don't use your status as a Heavenly Palace Inspector to pressure me. From now on, I am no longer a member of your Heavenly Palace."
Who is the Immortal Lord Haotian? How could he possibly accept orders from others, even if that person is the most powerful Palace Master in the Heavenly Palace!
Not far away, Lin Boren raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not say anything. It was better for Lin Ruoxi to hit a wall. This girl had been living too smoothly over the years with the halo of Master Gong, and her mentality had become a little arrogant.
Tang Qiubai and Shen Daoru, on the other hand, looked at their noses and their hearts, as if they saw nothing.
Strong, domineering, and uncompromising, this is Su Bai.
Just when the atmosphere was tense, suddenly, a light laugh was heard.
"Haha, Young Master Su is indeed a man of pride. He gave up his position as the Inspector of Tangtang Palace without hesitation. I admire you!"
Xing Xiushen and Bai Zewen, both dressed in grey robes, walked slowly towards Su Bai. They looked at Su Bai and said, "That's fine. At our stage, all worldly matters are no longer important. What matters most is taking that final step and entering the divine realm!"
"Humph! That old man Gong is still obsessed with worldly power. If he continues like this, he won't be able to break through to the divine realm even in another ten years!"
Lin Ruoxi stared at Xing Xiushen as if facing a great enemy. This old man was so terrifying that she didn't even feel him approaching just now.
You know, she has already reached the state of transformation and her perception is extremely sharp. This old man can come up behind her silently. Such strength is absolutely terrifying.
"who are you?"
Xing Xiushen didn't answer. Instead, he glanced at her and said with a smile, "You are the disciple of Master Gong. No wonder you can reach the realm of enlightenment at such a young age. It seems that Master Gong has put a lot of effort into you."
After saying this, he smiled faintly, looked at the extremely shocked Lin Boren, and said with a smile: "Brother Lin, after all these years, you are still as strong as ever, and your cultivation is even better than before!"
Lin Boren never expected that Xing Xiushen would appear here, and he appeared with Bai Zewen. As his mind turned, he also smiled and said, "I heard that Brother Xing had arrived in Longguo a long time ago. I didn't expect to run into him here today."
He paused and introduced to Lin Ruoxi, "This is Xing Xiushen, the Thousand Hands, who was once famous in Dragon Country. He is now the Xing Zun of the Overseas Dragon Hall! Even I was defeated by him back then! Now, I think Brother Xing is not far from the Divine Realm. This speed of progress really makes us ashamed!"
Xing Xiushen waved his hand. "It's nothing to mention! I've only been living in seclusion overseas for many years and have gained a little understanding. Compared to a young genius master like Su Bai, I'm truly dull."
Judging from Xing Xiushen's expression and words, to outsiders who didn't know the inside story, the relationship between the two seemed very good, but in fact, they were mortal enemies.
Su Bai smiled indifferently and said nothing.
At this time, Bai Zewen, who had been silent the whole time, frowned and asked Su Bai, "My dear Su, is the 'Black Jade Branch' you just bought still available? I'm willing to buy it back for 10 million. Is that what you're willing to do?"
Su Bai raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at him as if he was an idiot: "Are you sure you are not talking nonsense?"
You bought something for 100 million and you buy it back for 10 million?
Bai Zewen smiled faintly: "It's just a dry branch. Although it contains some spiritual energy, it can only be regarded as a precious medicine at most! It's worth a few million at most. I can give you 10 million, which is already a great honor for you!"
"Think carefully! I'm willing to buy it back now, but if I change my mind later, your 100 million worth of 'Millennium Elixir' will be wasted!"
Su Bai heard this and looked at him with a smile, "Master Bai, do you dare to make a bet with me?"
Bai Zewen frowned slightly, "What are you betting on?"
"Let's bet on which one is more valuable, this dead branch of mine or your Nine-bearded Ginseng King!"
