Chapter 107 is a bribe!

Su Bai suddenly found that life in the Patrol Team seemed pretty good.

Her Danfu Pavilion was looked after by Lü Hong.

And she was taken flying around by Xu An every day.

It didn't delay her Cultivation, and she even received offerings every month.

How delightful!

In Su Bai's narration,

she, as a Loose Cultivator, met Xu Changge, who at the time desired revenge and to rebuild her Family.

From Su Bai's perspective,

she was an ally chosen by Xu Changge, one of several clean and trouble-free Loose Cultivators selected to guard Wumu Island after the helpers from Qingzhu Sword Sect left.

At that time, the four families formed an alliance.

Later, Xu Changge completed her revenge and brought her branch of the Xu Family Bloodline back from the mortal realm to re-Cultivate them.

The Yang Family and Lü Family also flourished on the island.

The power of Wumu Island stabilized.

Only Su Bai was still alone.

“Captain Su, your friendship with Old Ancestor is so enviable!”

Xu An's eyes sparkled with stars, full of yearning for the nearly sixty years of affection between Su Bai and Xu Changge described in Su Bai's story.

“I also hope to have a Fellow Daoist who can walk the path of Cultivation together with me.”

To this, Su Bai only smiled.

The story was finished.

Naturally, it was time to eat.

These Family Disciples not only carried Spiritual Tea with them, but their Storage Pouches were also filled with various rare and exotic Yao Beasts.

The variety of Yao Beast meat was even more extensive.

At least for one trip out, the food wouldn't be repeated.

Ever since Su Bai told those junior members of the Xu Family her story with Xu Changge,

they learned that Su Bai was an old acquaintance of their Old Ancestor's generation, a confidante.

They held Su Bai in immense respect.

In the following months, Su Bai's daily routine was to sunbathe and Cultivate when she was with the Patrol Team, and when she was at her Danfu Pavilion, she would practice Alchemy, draw talismans, Cultivate, tease her little Dragon, and incidentally give pointers to Lü Hong.

Her life was incredibly comfortable.

This day.

Su Bai, who was drawing talismans in the Danfu Pavilion, noticed her patrol token reacted.

She knew it was time to return to the Patrol Team.

She put down the spiritual brush in her hand, made from fine Yao Beast tail hair.

She extended her finger.

Xiao Qing, who was helping to grind ink in the distance, seeing Su Bai's movement, obediently coiled around her finger.

Su Bai walked to the counter at the front.

She instructed Lü Hong:

“Xiao Hong, I'm going back to the Patrol Team.”

“Okay, Su Yi, take care.”

After Su Bai left the door,

she sensed someone following her.

To say 'following' was inaccurate; the other party didn't even bother to hide.

This made Su Bai frown.

Then she turned and walked into a restaurant.

She directly ordered a pot of tea, a pot of wine, and a few small dishes.

She went upstairs and chose a window seat on the second floor.

Before long, the tea, wine, and dishes were all served.

Su Bai had just poured herself a cup of tea.

In Su Bai's Divine Sense, the person following her came upstairs.

The other party stood at the top of the stairs, swept an eye over the second floor,

and upon seeing Su Bai, walked over.

He unceremoniously sat down opposite Su Bai.

This action of the other party only made Su Bai raise an eyebrow.

She wanted to see what this person would do next.

If the other party dared to offend her even slightly, Su Bai would make him understand that even within this market, he wouldn't leave alive.

At this moment, the person who sat down, though appearing casual on the surface,

was actually completely tensed up.

After all, he was just a minion at Qi Refining Level Six.

Being so arrogant in front of a Cultivator at Qi Refining Level Nine was somewhat frightening.

But he could only do as he was told.

After all, his boss was not a good person.

“Senior Su, I am from Night Shan Xiao. Please accept this small token of respect.”

Night Shan Xiao was the Cultivator: Jie Xiu organization that Shan Xiao belonged to.

Su Bai knew this.

But she still made no move, just eating her dishes and drinking her tea.

However, the more Su Bai acted this way, the more nervous the person sitting opposite her became.

He could only tremblingly pull out a Storage Pouch from his bosom, place it on the table, and push it towards Su Bai.

“Inside are the matters our boss wishes to discuss with you. Please give us a response.”

After pushing the Storage Pouch towards Su Bai,

he sat up rigidly, awaiting Su Bai's reply, as if also awaiting the arrival of death.

After Su Bai rinsed her mouth with tea,

she glanced at the Storage Pouch.

After confirming there were no Restrictions on it,

she then extended her Divine Sense into it.

Then she paused.

What first caught her eye were two piles of Spirit Stones.

One pile was Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and the other was Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

Three thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones and five hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

What a grand gesture.

Then there was a Jade Slip containing information.

It was the message Shan Xiao wanted to convey to Su Bai.

The general meaning was:

He hoped Su Bai would accept these Spirit Stones, and that in the future, both parties should try not to meet.

Even if they did meet, he hoped she would hold back appropriately, so there would be a chance for future cooperation.

After retracting her Divine Sense,

Su Bai looked at the person opposite her.

The person opposite was already nervously wiping cold sweat from his forehead.

In his heart, he had prayed to every powerful being he could think of.

Su Bai looked at the other party, her eyes already filled with Killing Intent, and spoke coldly:

“These are only enough to buy your life.”

“Just for daring to follow me today, and even sitting in front of me, in my eyes, you are already a dead man.”

“Get lost.”

After Su Bai softly uttered these words,

especially after hearing Su Bai tell him to get lost,

he felt as if he had received a great pardon, so nervous that he limped a little as he walked.

He hurriedly ran downstairs.

Su Bai, meanwhile, directly tucked the Storage Pouch from the table into her waist, then paid the bill and left.

She then went to the Patrol Team as usual, and began patrolling with her team members.

As for the Cultivator from Night Shan Xiao, after leaving the market,

he returned directly to his lair.

He described Su Bai's behavior in the restaurant earlier to Shan Xiao.

“Boss, the other party accepted the Storage Pouch, but her attitude seemed…”

“This Old Man naturally knows, this Su Bai is a bit troublesome.”

Shan Xiao tilted his head and twisted his neck.

Su Bai accepted the Spirit Stones, but her attitude remained ambiguous.

She let his subordinate go, but she took the Spirit Stones.

This indicated that Su Bai was not a pedantic person and could be reasoned with.

However, Su Bai's Killing Intent was also real.

“Hmph ~ But accepting the Spirit Stones means there's still room for negotiation. It just means she has a bigger appetite, and this Old Man has seen it before.”

Shan Xiao had Cultivated for decades, acting as an enforcer for many families as a Cultivator: Jie Xiu; he had seen all kinds of people.

Su Bai's identity had naturally been investigated and clarified over a few months.

She came from a Spiritual Farmer background, was a Loose Cultivator in Purple Bamboo Immortal Market, and later came to Wumu Island with Xu Changge.

Although she rarely moved around outside,

judging from the limited number of times she had fought, her actual combat ability was not low.

“Next time, this Old Man will go personally to talk.”

Shan Xiao thought about Su Bai's words again.

He felt that Su Bai probably thought he was looking down on her by only sending a small minion.

Hence her anger.

So next time, Shan Xiao himself would go.

As for danger, Shan Xiao was naturally not afraid. He was at Qi Refining Peak, and had attempted to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment in his early years. Although he failed, his strength was not comparable to that of an ordinary Qi Refining Cultivator.

Even facing a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he was confident he could exchange a few moves.

While Shan Xiao was thinking about opening a channel with Su Bai, the manager of the Patrol Team, to facilitate their future actions,

Su Bai, after completing her patrol mission, did not return to her Danfu Pavilion.

Instead, she went directly to find Xu Changge.
