BXBX NOVEL Chapter 122 A Grave Misunderstanding
Within a room of the inner pavilion, Bai Chen sat on a wooden chair. In front of him was a round wooden table. On that table was a steaming cup of tea. The tea had been poured after being freshly brewed.
He was not alone in this room. In front of him were Zheng Fang and Xu Xue Ning. Both their gazes were fixed on him.
Their eyes showed not only respect but awe. They thought of him as a god. These gazes were completely different from when he first arrived.
Surely, the cause for this change was none other than that he had already killed Tai Yang the Strange.
Now, Xu Xue Ning and Zheng Fang shared the same thought—that was Bai Chen was not at the Sky Soaring Realm any longer. He must be in the Legendary Realm now!
If not, there was no way he could have killed Tai Yang the Strange without sustaining serious injury himself!
Not getting injured was one thing. But even Bai Chen’s robe was the same as it was before! It had not even gotten wrinkled!
With all this information, how could the two of them still think that he was in the Sky Soaring Realm?
He must surely be a Legendary Realm cultivator!
Only a Legendary Realm cultivator could kill a Sky Soaring Realm cultivator as easily as one chopped vegetable or killed a fish.
Even though the numbers of Legendary Realm cultivators were much fewer than that of the Sky Soaring Realm, with less than five in the whole of China, they had seen one once. It had been a tournament held by all the sects in China for their cultivators to fight in. The event was held once every five years.
Bai Chen sat there, oblivious to the fact that the two ladies in front of him had made some major assumptions about him, to the point that they thought that he was a Legendary Realm cultivator.
He looked at Xu Xue Ning before saying, “I helped you as you asked. Tomorrow, I wish to be taken back to Xing Zhou City.”
Xu Xue Ning appeared as though she had just come to her senses after looking at him like she had been looking at a god. She looked down before replying quietly, “Yes, sir.”
But after replying, she could not help but think about the matter from before. Zheng Fang and Zheng Feng had told her that Bai Chen had decided to help because he was infatuated with her.
Whenever Xu Xue Ning thought about this, her emotions were stirred up beyond control.
It was because she had thought that Bai Chen was pursuing Long Xu In and he was the one who had confirmed this to be the truth.
If it was like that, how could he be infatuated with her? The more Xu Xue Ning thought about it, the more confused she got. She did not know what to do.
“Elder, you’re leaving already?” While Xu Xue Ning’s emotions were in a disarray and her thoughts were confused, Zheng Fang mustered up the courage to speak. She needed to take a deep breath before asking her question.
Bai Chen moved his gaze from Xu Xue Ning to her, then nodded. “Yes, I’ll be leaving.”
“Elder... can’t you stay awhile longer? I’ll have Xue Ning show you around our sect,” Zheng Fang said. All her thoughts now were focused on keeping Bai Chen here for as long as she could, so that his relationship with Xu Xue Ning could develop.
Because if the two were to marry, the Lunar Land sect would immediately become a mighty sect!
Having the support of a Legendary Realm cultivator meant that nobody would ever dare look down on or try to destroy the Lunar Land sect again!
That was the reason she needed him to stay on.
Bai Chen shook his head in response to Zheng Fang. “It will have to be another time. I have many more things to handle.”
Bai Chen was sure he did not want to stay on, so he refused the invitation. He grabbed the teacup and took a sip. He felt extremely calm.
But he still felt a little strange from the change in the gazes of Xu Xue Ning and Zheng Fang.
It was obvious that he saw how they looked at him. It was markedly different from before.
‘That’s a pity...’ Zheng Fang shook her head, disappointed. She secretly sighed but still believed that there were still many more chances if Xu Xue Ning and Bai Chen stayed in contact.
‘Why is Zheng Feng not yet here?’ She suddenly thought of her sister.
The reason Zheng Feng was not in the room was that she had gone to take care of Tai Yang the Strange’s body. But it had been 15 minutes since then, so Zheng Fang could not help but wonder.
The room went quiet. The three did not say anything else to each other.
..........................
The next day, Bai Chen left early in the morning to go back to Xing Zhou City with Xu Xue Ning.
Before he left, the members of the Lunar Land sect came to bid him farewell with the utmost respect.
He said goodbye politely before leaving.
While Bai Chen was on his way back to Xing Zhou, a big problem occurred within the confines of the Xing Zhou police station.
This big problem was that the previous inspector of the station had asked to be transferred to a station in another city as soon as possible.
This inspector was the brother of Liang Hao, the former leader of the White Tiger Gang, who had just been murdered.
His hasty request was due to fear. He was afraid of how the White Tiger Gang had been completely eradicated. He was afraid that if he remained in Xing Zhou, the powerful people who had eradicated the White Tiger Gang would come for his life too.
His abrupt departure caused a new inspector to be sent over.
It could clearly be seen that the Central Police Department worked fast. The old inspector had just transferred out for a day and a new one had been sent to the station immediately.
Now, the Xing Zhou police station was filled with a rather jolly atmosphere to welcome the newly-arrived inspector.
All the officers in Xing Zhou police station gathered to welcome the new inspector happily and as befitting of the new supervisor’s position.
Every single police officer of Xing Zhou station was there. Not one person was missing. Even Superintendent Yang was there as well.
It was clear that the new inspector was an important person. If not, Superintendent Yang, the most powerful police officer in Xing Zhou station, would not have rushed here this early to welcome them.
Inside an office in Xing Zhou police station, Lieutenant Jong stood in front of the new inspector’s desk nervously.
He was being interrogated on how the White Tiger Gang had been eradicated.
Of course, the officer who was interrogating him was the new inspector of Xing Zhou police station.
Documents on the table were flipped through with delicate hands. A long black triangular nameplate on the desk showed the title and the name of the officer who was its owner.
Police Lieutenant General Xu Xin Tong was the name of the new supervisor!
