Chapter 104 Patrol and Robbery

“Alas~ I agree.”

Regardless of Xu Changge’s persistent coaxing at the moment,

or Su Bai’s genuine need for a superficial cover.

Yes, a cover.

After Foundation Establishment, Su Bai’s Cultivation Technique and Aptitude issues were resolved.

Her Cultivate path would be much smoother from now on.

However, the resources provided for Foundation Establishment Cultivate.

It was impossible for Su Bai to acquire them by staying at Haijiao Cliff or in the market.

There had to be a source.

Whether it was the medicinal fields of Haijiao Cliff or the income of Danfu Pavilion, they were all part of it.

If she used Sect resources instead,

it could reduce some suspicion from others.

In fact, Xu Changge’s actions even reminded Su Bai.

She was currently in the market.

She would inevitably interact with some Cultivators.

Her future Cultivation resources were a problem.

From this perspective, Su Bai would have to go out from time to time in the future.

No matter what she went out for,

she would always use the excuse of seeking Cultivation resources.

Upon hearing Su Bai agree,

Xu Changge cheered.

She put her hands under Su Bai’s armpits and lifted her, spinning her around twice.

After Su Bai agreed,

Xu Changge immediately took Su Bai to collect the Patrol Team’s magic robe.

Then, Su Bai changed into the new magic robe in Xu Changge’s room.

After Su Bai had changed,

Xu Changge said,

“Turn around and let me see.”

Hearing this, Su Bai turned around once.

Xu Changge stood to the side, watching.

A dark-colored robe, entirely without miscellaneous colors, only with crescent moon embroidery decoration on the cuffs, and a “Star” character embroidered on the chest.

It fit perfectly.

“Not bad. Now I’ll take you to meet the captain of the Patrol Team. Get to know each other.”

Xu Changge led Su Bai to the temporary Patrol Team gathering point.

Su Bai followed behind her.

At the same time, she tugged at the magic robe on her body.

It was a bit too perfect…

Whether it was the fit on her body or the looseness during movement, it perfectly conformed to Su Bai’s figure.

Although the magic robe was comfortable to wear, Su Bai always felt strange.

This magic robe, Xu Changge had probably prepared it long ago.

While Su Bai was thinking,

they had already arrived.

After Xu Changge opened the door,

the four Cultivators sitting inside all stood up and cupped their hands towards Xu Changge, saying,

“Senior Xu.”

Xu Changge merely nodded slightly in response, then moved aside, pushing Su Bai in front of her.

“This is Su Bai, the future manager of the Patrol Team, your boss.”

Pushed in front of the four, Su Bai scratched her cheek with her hand.

“My name is Su Bai, Fellow Daoists. Please take care of me during official duties in the future.”

“Fellow Daoist Su, I am Xu Ying.”

“I am Ding Zai.”

“I am Song Ying.”

“I am Wang Huai.”

These few people did not show any opposition when faced with Su Bai, who had suddenly appeared above them.

They didn’t even ask about Su Bai’s cultivation.

After all, she was sent by Xu Changge.

As a Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the Middle Stage, they could only obey what Xu Changge said.

And looking at Su Bai’s youthful appearance,

she was probably closely related to Xu Changge, perhaps sent here for experience.

The only one with doubts was probably Xu Ying.

He had cultivated to Refining Qi (8th Layer) and was an elder of the Xu Family.

He was generally aware of how his Old Ancestor usually was and his circle of friends.

How come he had never heard of a person like Su Bai?

However, despite the doubts in his heart,

he still did not show them.

Whatever the Old Ancestor said, it was final, and it was not for him, a junior, to question.

After the introductions were complete,

Xu Changge said to Su Bai,

“Since you just arrived today, first familiarize yourself with the patrol routes, and let them tell you the locations and approximate strengths of those Cultivator: Jie Xiu.”

“Xu Ying, you take Fellow Daoist Su to familiarize herself.”

Xu Changge had just spoken to Su Bai with a smile, but when she turned her head, the smile on her face disappeared.

She ordered Xu Ying to take Su Bai to familiarize herself first.

“Yes, Old Ancestor!”

Suddenly called by name, Xu Ying shivered and immediately agreed.

After seeing Xu Ying agree,

Xu Changge turned back to Su Bai, and a smile reappeared on her face.

The speed of her face change left Su Bai dumbfounded.

“Then that’s it for now, Xiaobai. The Patrol Team has a monthly stipend.”

“I still have some matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first.”

After speaking, Xu Changge left.

Leaving only Su Bai and the remaining four staring blankly at each other.

“Uh, Fellow Daoist Su, shall we go now?”

Seeing the quiet scene, Xu Ying was the first to speak.

Su Bai thought for a moment.

Lü Hong was still waiting for her back at the shop.

“Alright, but it’s best to be quick, I also have urgent matters.”

Upon hearing Su Bai’s words, Xu Ying’s mouth twitched.

This person was quite unceremonious.

However, he didn’t say anything.

Instead, he first led Su Bai to collect the Patrol Team’s equipment.

As Cultivators protecting the safety of the market,

they naturally had exclusive equipment.

In addition to the magic robes, they also provided Medicinal Pills, Talismans, Flying Swords, and flying boats.

Even if they were damaged, they could be replaced directly.

Although there were relatively few people now,

they had everything they needed.

They would slowly recruit more people in the future.

Or wait for the Disciples of the Six Upper Sects to arrive.

The Sects had trial missions, so they could directly let the Disciples fill in.

Otherwise, a market spanning hundreds of kilometers,

with just the current manpower of the four Foundation Establishment Families, they wouldn’t be able to handle it.

After receiving the flying boat and Flying Sword exclusive to the Patrol Team,

Xu Ying led Su Bai outside the market.

The internal security of the market did not require Su Bai for the time being.

Su Bai’s main task was the Cultivator: Jie Xiu outside.

So Xu Ying took Su Bai to fly outside the market first.

“Fellow Daoist Su, our market is still under construction, but the patrol range has already reached a thousand li.”

“Recently, there have been frequent reports of Cultivator: Jie Xiu, about three hundred li east of the market.”

“According to those who escaped, there are a total of nine Cultivator: Jie Xiu in the group, most of their cultivation is around Qi Refining (6th Layer), and the strongest Cultivator leading them is at Qi Refining Peak.”

“I heard it’s Shan Xiao, who also acted as a Cultivator: Jie Xiu in other markets before.”

Xu Ying explained to Su Bai about the most active group of Cultivator: Jie Xiu nearby.

At the same time, he observed Su Bai’s expression.

He found that Su Bai’s expression did not change when she heard about Shan Xiao’s cultivation.

He couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, as expected of someone known by the Old Ancestor, her composure was indeed great.

Then Xu Ying continued,

“May I presumptuously ask, what is Fellow Daoist Su’s cultivation?”

“Qi Refining (9th Layer).”

Su Bai merely replied indifferently.

Still expressionless.

However, after hearing Su Bai’s answer, Xu Ying looked at Su Bai’s dirty little face and was already mumbling to himself.

Qi Refining (9th Layer)…

Her strength was barely acceptable, higher than his own cultivation.

But facing a Cultivator at Qi Refining Peak, was she still a bit lacking?

Why would the Old Ancestor let a person at Qi Refining (9th Layer) be the manager of the Patrol Team?

Even if the Old Ancestor was busy,

it shouldn’t be difficult to find a Cultivator at Qi Refining Peak if a Foundation Establishment Cultivator wasn’t there to anchor it.

However, the Old Ancestor had already made this arrangement.

Xu Ying was naturally willing to listen.

He just didn’t know if he was willing to listen to Su Bai’s arrangements, but would the Cultivators at Qi Refining Stage – Late Phase from the other three Families listen?

But in reality,

some Sect Disciples were also arriving one after another now.

Not only did they need to be arranged,

the four Foundation Establishment Families also had to arrange their respective industries, so they were all very busy.

Xu Changge was also worried about this recently.
