“No need to bow.” “Since you’ve already saved your life, you should heal yourself well.” Xu Bai shook his head.”
“Lord Xu, with my injuries, I know who it is.”Kong Xu persevered and wanted to stand up. However, he only managed to get up halfway before he collapsed weakly. He looked at the sky with a pained expression on his face.
Xu Bai looked around and said, “Let’s find a quiet place. ‘”‘
There were too many people here, and it wasn’t appropriate to talk about this. It was better to find a more stable environment and see what was in Kong Xu’s
Ye Family Head was a little conflicted, thinking about whether he should get involved.
To be honest, he really didn’t want to get involved. This matter was obviously not a small matter. If he rashly got involved, he didn’t know what the consequences would be.
“Patriarch Ye, when a person is stuck in a quagmire, it’s very difficult to struggle out of it.”Xu Baiyi pointed out: “Although you have only stepped into one foot, it is not easy to retreat completely.’”‘
Xu Bai was quite skilled in pulling people onto the boat. With just two sentences, the Ye family master made up his mind.
After all, it was a big family and a helper. He felt bad that he did not pull them on board.
The Ye family head gritted his teeth and revealed a conflicted expression. In the end, the conflicted expression disappeared. He sighed and waved at the surrounding servants. “Bring Second Young Master Kong to the side hall.”
Just like what Xu Bai had said, she was already in the middle of it, so she could forget about staying out of it.
At least for now, it seemed impossible for her to stay out of this matter. In that case, she might as well jump into this quagmire. At least Xu Bai was still in the quagmire.
When the servants heard the order, they quickly carried Kong Xu to a secluded side hall.
Xu Bai, Ye Zi, and the others followed behind.
The side hall was very quiet. There was no one around, so it seemed a little empty. However, this was a good place to discuss matters.
“I specially found a master of mechanics to make this place. No one can get close to it. If it was an outsider, they would have triggered the mechanics.”Ye Family Head said.
Xu Bai nodded and looked at Kong Xu.””This place is very safe. Tell me what you know.”
“Lord Xu, these demons are here to deal with you.”Kong Xu said weakly,””lt’s just that because I’ve communicated with you before, and we even communicated very harmoniously, they thought that I would give you more helpers, so they prepared to kill me on the way.”
After saying this, Kong Xu started to pant heavily. After all, his injuries had only stabilized and not completely improved. He was in pain as he spoke.
Xu Bai frowned and carefully recalled what Kong Xu had said. After a while, he said,””How can you be so sure?”
If it was any other situation, it was possible. However, what Kong Xu said just now told him directly that these thousands of demons were related to him and were originally here to assassinate him.
But… There was no way to prove it.
After all, this was only one possibility.
“Lord Xu, look at this.” Kong Xu took out something from his bosom and handed it to Xu Bai.
Xu Bai took it and frowned.
It was a piece of paper with Xu Bai’s portrait on it. It was drawn so vividly that even his expression could be seen.
“How did you get it?” Xu Bai asked.
The appearance of this thing had indeed aroused his curiosity.
Kong Xu explained,” I’m a dual cultivator. I’m a scholar and a diviner, both of whom have reached the Fifth Stage. Previously, I did a divination for Lord Xu, but I suffered a backlash. After I was attacked, I did another divination while I was running for my life. All the divination images condensed into Lord Xu’s appearance.”
As he spoke, Kong Xu coughed violently and spat out a mouthful of blood. Clearly, his injuries had not fully recovered.
Even if it was the medicine used by the Ye family, it would take some time to take effect. It was impossible for it to have an immediate effect.
“At that time, I thought that there were only two possibilities. The first was that Lord Xu wanted to kill me, and the second was that those people wanted to kill Lord Xu.”Kong Xu only recovered after a while and said, believe there is only the second possibility.”
Xu Bai couldn’t kill him. In front of Xu Bai, he was like a piece of grass. How could Xu Bai attack him?
Therefore, Kong Xu came to another conclusion.
Xu Bai fell into deep thought.
If what Kong Xu said was true, then this so-called demon master was here to deal with him.
Now that he had a rough idea, he finally knew who the enemy was.
“You can recuperate here first.” Xu Bai said.
“Lord Xu, I have one more thing to say.”Kong Xu didn’t shut his mouth and continued,””Apart from that, I have also done a divination. This is a divination of great misfortune. Lord Xu, this trip to Wind Chime Manor will probably be very difficult, but amidst this great misfortune, there is a hidden good fortune, so you must be careful.”
“You’re very useful.” Xu Bai rubbed his chin.”
He said this off-topic, but it came from the bottom of his heart.
A diviner was indeed useful in such situations.
“Is there any way to calculate it deeper?”Xu Bai said.
When Kong Xu heard this, his face revealed a look of ecstasy. He even felt that the injuries on his body were no longer painful.
He was very useful!
What did these four words mean? He knew very well that this meant that he would have to interact with Xu Bai in the future.
Kong Xu had come to Wind Chime Manor for this matter. Now that he had a chance, it was great news for him..
