It was not until he returned home that he opened the wooden box in the cabinet.

The wooden box was filled with iron beads. There were so many that it made one’s scalp tingle.

“These two martial world people have forgotten what the most taboo thing in the martial world is.” Xu Bai grabbed a handful of iron beads and thought to himself.

The iron beads flowed out from between his fingers and landed on the wooden box, making a clanging sound. It sounded terrifying at night.

If the roots were not removed, they would grow again when the spring wind blew.

Blackmailing?

Extortion?

In Xu Bai’s opinion, satisfying the other party even once would turn them into a bottomless pit.

Greed was endless. The advantages obtained by reaching out one’s hand were equivalent to endless greed.

If he wanted to truly eradicate the problem, not only did he have to treat the symptoms, but he also had to treat the root cause.

Thinking of this, the corners of his lips gradually curled up.

It seemed like… he had found a suitable solution.

The blacksmith and the lady boss seemed to have overlooked a crack that could make them fall into the underworld.

…

The next day.

Early in the morning, Xu Bai went to the stall for breakfast as usual and patted Xiao Yue’s head.

After finishing his meal, he began to wander around again.

The entire process was no different from usual. There was no psychological burden at all.

The lady boss was quietly following behind Xu Bai.

She watched as Xu Bai was idling, and couldn’t figure out what he was thinking.

It wasn’t until noon that Xu Bai left a street stall.

When he left, he was holding a hemp rope he had just bought from a street stall.

“Why did he buy a hemp rope?” The lady boss was even more puzzled.

She could not understand Xu Bai’s train of thought at all. It was fine if he did not have any psychological burden, but the key was that he bought a useless hemp rope. She was getting more and more confused.

Could it be that they had driven him to hang himself?

The lady boss shook her head forcefully to shake off the unrealistic thoughts and continued to follow him.

On the other hand, after Xu Bai bought the hemp rope, he did not continue to stay on the street. He found another place to have lunch before returning home with the hemp rope.

The lady boss did not go in either. She stayed at the corner of the street not far away.

As the afternoon approached, Xu Bai went out as usual. After dinner, he stayed at home again.

The sun gradually set and night fell.

On the street, the endless stream of people and noise gradually subsided.

The bustling street became deserted. Only the lady boss was guarding the corner.

The night watchman began their routine work.

“He’s been at home all this time?” The blacksmith also came out, carrying a large metal box that was half the height of a man.

The iron box looked extremely heavy, but the blacksmith carried it effortlessly as if he was carrying a cardboard box.

“There’s nothing unusual about him today. In fact, he’s very normal,” the lady boss said without turning her head as she stared at Xu Bai’s door.

The more normal it looked, the more abnormal it was.

The two of them were also from the martial world, so they naturally knew this.

“It’s best to be careful. If it weren’t for the fact that there’s no other way, I wouldn’t approve of taking this path,” the blacksmith said.

These words angered the lady boss.

“Do you think I want to? I’ve gone through so much trouble to hide here. If it weren’t for the fact that I don’t have money or a goods route, would I have taken the risk? This person looks like he’s experienced. I also don’t want to socialize too much with him.”

Hearing this, the blacksmith smiled bitterly and did not say anything else.

The lady boss’s chest heaved up and down as she gradually calmed down.

At this moment, the tightly shut door opened.

The two of them stopped talking and stared at the direction of the door.

In the dark night, Xu Bai walked out with a wooden box on his back.

The wooden box was tied with hemp rope that was made into two straps. It looked comical on his back.

“That box seems to be a gift from me. It’s used to store the iron beads. Strange, why is he carrying the wooden box?” The lady boss asked suspiciously.

“Maybe he’s using it to store the silver. Didn’t he say that he has hundreds of silver ingots? It’s not easy to store them without a chest.” The blacksmith thought for a moment and said.

“I hope so,” the lady boss said.

Other than this, she could not think of any other reason.

While the two of them were talking, Xu Bai had already left the house and was walking toward the north of Sheng County.

“Keep up!”

The two of them did not hesitate and quietly followed behind.

…

Xu Bai carried the wooden box and quickly left Sheng County, heading towards the outskirts.

The wooden box was very heavy, but to Xu Bai, it was as light as a feather.

The grade eight wanderer realm and the golden airflow in his body made him feel like he was walking on flat ground.

Very few people left Sheng County at night. After all, no one knew what dangers there were in the wilderness.

Ordinary people were busy with their livelihoods every day, so they would have things better to do than to wander around in the wilderness.

Xu Bai was the only one walking in the outskirts of Yisheng County.

The sky was filled with dark clouds.

The moon was hidden in the dark clouds, with only a little silver light shining down.

The silver radiance landed on Xu Bai’s body. Under the silver radiance, the wooden box shone with a matte glow.

Xu Bai walked further and further away. At this time, he was already more than ten miles away from Sheng County.

Behind them, the blacksmith and the lady boss followed. The further they went, the more puzzled they became.

Did he really hide it so far away?

If there was an accident, he would not be able to rush over in time. Wouldn’t the silver benefit others?

The two of them could not understand, but since they had already come this far, they could only brace themselves and follow behind.

After walking for a few more miles, Xu Bai slowed down and stopped.

This was a slightly empty lot. The soil under his feet was soft and comfortable to step on.

Xu Bai turned around and looked at the forest behind him. He smiled and said, “Guys, stop hiding. The environment here is very good.”

The forest was silent.

“If you don’t come out, don’t even think about asking for money,” Xu Bai added.

As soon as he finished speaking, a sound came from the forest. The blacksmith and the lady boss walked out.

“Kid, what are you doing? Why are you carrying the wooden box?” The lady boss approached and asked.

“I’m helping you find money. It’s reasonable for me to use the wooden box to store money, right?” Xu Bai untied the hemp rope on his shoulder and placed the wooden box on the ground.

He raised his foot and rested it on the wooden chest. At the same time, he rested his elbow on his knee and bent slightly. He stared at the blacksmith and the landlady with a very mischievous gaze.

For some reason, the blacksmith and the lady boss shivered when Xu Bai’s eyes swept over them.

“Originally, I thought that I would have to walk a little further to reach my destination. I didn’t expect this place to be so good,” Xu Bai said slowly as he supported his chin with his hand.

“What do you mean, is the silver hidden here?” The blacksmith said gloomily.

Xu Bai pointed at the sky and then at the ground. He shook his head and sighed. “It’s so tacky to talk about money. I invited the two of you here to see if the scenery here is good.”

The scene fell silent, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

“What exactly do you mean? Why are you dawdling?” The lady boss felt that the atmosphere was different and said angrily.

Xu Bai stomped his feet on the soft ground.

A sentence came out of his mouth.

“The soil here is good. It’s suitable for burying people.”
