Chapter 377 - 377: The Real Purpose of the Veil Woman (4)
Xu Bai was more inclined to the second option. There was no other reason than that he didn’t know anyone in the clay mansion, nor did he have any so-called connections.
What the leader said just now could be treated as nonsense.
However, if it was the second possibility, what was the purpose of the other party doing all these things?
After thinking about it, Xu Bai suddenly thought of a possibility.
Could it be that he wanted to pull her to the other party’s side?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it was.
Since things had already happened, it was better to follow the other party’s rhythm.
“Open the door.” Xu Bai said.
The leader found it hard to accept such straightforwardness.
Xu Bai looked at the man and said,” Just like you said, I’m at the end of my rope now. If you have a way to help me clear my name, then what’s the harm in me following you for the time being?’”‘
The leader finally recovered and said, “Alright, then let Lord Xu come out.”
The lock outside the door was broken by a knife, and Xu Bai walked out from inside.
After he left, he saw that the bailiffs in the corridor had already fallen to the ground.
“Lord Xu, don’t worry. We didn’t harm their lives. After all, our goal is to help Lord Xu clear his name.”the leader said.
Master had said that if he wanted to act, he had to do the whole thing. If he killed those bailiffs now, it might arouse Xu Bai’s suspicion.
“Please lead the way,” Xu Bai said with a smile.”
The leader hesitated for a moment, then looked at Ye Zi and the puppet of the
Fourth Stage, and said,””Lord Xu, are the two of them following us?”
“My young master and I will not be separated. Wherever my young master goes, I will go.”Ye Zi stretched out her hand and pulled Xu Bail s arm as she said firmly.
The leader looked at Xu Bai. Seeing that Xu Bai did not say anything, it was obvious that he had agreed.
He hesitated for a moment before nodding and leading the way.
Before he came, his master had already told him that if these two people wanted to follow him, then let them follow.
It was very dark outside. Xu Bai walked out of the cell and followed these people along the street.
After Xu Bai left, the Tong Residence’s commander walked out from a secret place.
He took out a brush and wrote in the air.
A moment later, a map appeared in front of him.
There was a small dot on the map that was moving quickly.
“Hu…” “I didn’t expect a dignified scholar like me to do such a thing.”
Xu Bai had told him to leave a tracking device on Xu Bai’s body at the beginning of the plan. If anything unusual happened, he could use this method to track Xu Bai.
No matter what, Tong Manor Master was also a Rank-5 scholar and could be considered to have combat strength.
Commander Tong looked at the moving light spot and took out a face cloth to cover his face. He chased after the light spot.
There was no communication along the way. Xu Bai followed behind them, passing through all kinds of streets and alleys, and finally arrived at a secret room.
The clay mansion was very big, and there were many houses like this. If they were to go through the houses, it would take a lot of time. Also, if they made too much noise, the other party might find an opportunity to leave. Therefore, Xu Bai didn’t waste his time.
“Lord Xu, please come in.” The leader pushed open the door and said. Xu Bai nodded. He stood at the door and looked around. It was very dark inside, but he saw a graceful figure.
He brought the puppet of the Fourth Stage and Ye Zi, and under the lead of the leader, he directly entered the room.
“Pa! ”
Behind him, the door moved without any wind and closed automatically.
The next moment, Xu Bai twitched his nose and seemed to smell a strange fragrance, but it was not particularly obvious.
His gaze passed through the darkness and saw the graceful woman in a light veil.
“Lord Xu, I am Xiao Ai.”Xiao Nuan bent over slightly, and under the light veil, she was faintly discernible.
With a smile on his face, Xu Bai sized up the woman and said, ‘”‘They said that you have a way to help me clear my name. What do you think?”
“Them?” Xiao Nuan smiled.” Lord Xu, you may need to stay here for a few days. I will naturally help you think of a way.”” “How long will it take?” Xu Bai asked. “Three to five days,” Xiao Nuan replied gently.
After saying that, she waved her hand gently.
The men in black left, leaving only Xu Bai and the others.
Xiao Nuan came to the table and lit the oil lamp on it. The light from the oil lamp illuminated the surroundings and dispelled the darkness.
During this process, Xu Bai did not care, but Ye Zi kept staring at the woman with a vigilant expression.
As a woman, Ye Zi could sense that this woman named Xiao Nuan looked gentle like water and had the appearance of a young lady from a wealthy family. However, there was a seductive force in her bones.
Ye Zi was trained by the Ye family. Of course, she knew very well that her feelings were real, so she became more and more vigilant.
“You’re from the Ye family, right?” Xiao Nuan suddenly said, ” I’ve long heard that a woman from the Ye family ran out and is still being searched for. It seems that you ran to Lord Xu’s side.’”‘
Ye Zi didn’t answer. She tightened her grip on Xu Bai’s hand.
Of course, Xu Bai could feel it. He smiled and said, “”1 think it’s very awkward now.”
It was indeed very awkward. After being brought here for no reason, he said that he would stay here for three to five days. Anyone would feel awkward..
