Chapter 379 - 379: l i ve Made the Transmigrator Look Good (1)
The street fell silent. Ever since Xiao Nuan left, there was only darkness and corpses on the ground.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, there was the sound of light footsteps. Magistrate Tong walked out of the darkness with a brush in his hand. He looked at the corpses on the ground and his eyes revealed shock. “What’s going on? Did a battle happen here?”
He had just come out and had not encountered the previous scene. Therefore, when he looked at the corpses in front of him, he could not figure out what had happened.
Along the way, they followed Xu Bai’s trail and happened to pass by this street. Although the Tong Residence Magistrate did not see clearly who killed him, his expression became even stranger when he saw the corpse on the ground.
He had also seen the group of men in black when they left with Xu Bai. Now, these corpses were dressed exactly the same as those men in black. He only needed to think a little to figure out the identities of these people.
Why did he die? Who killed him? These two mysteries kept flashing in his mind.
“Should I tell Xu Bai directly? But Xu Bai said before that if there’s no fight, I don’t need to expose myself.”Tong Manor Magistrate’s face was covered, but he was thinking about what Xu Bai had told him.
After hesitating for a long time, he still decided to follow Xu Bai’s instructions and hide in the surrounding area first. Then, he would wait and see.
At the thought of this, the Tong Residence Magistrate was no longer there. He continued to stay, turned around, and left the street. He found a place not far from Xu Bai and quietly hid there.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the night had passed. The sun once again hung in the clouds, illuminating the earth, filling the clay mansion with warmth.
The commoners began a new day of life. The streets returned to their usual hustle and bustle. The cries of hawkers rose and fell. Passers-by stopped or stopped, or hurried on their way.
Xu Bai, who was in the hidden house, frowned when he heard Xiao Nuan’s words.
“What did you say? All your men are dead, killed by an unknown person?”
Just this morning, she suddenly found Xu Bai and told him what had happened. Basically, she said that all her people had died and that she didn’t know who killed them. The situation had become very complicated and she told Xu Bai not to go out.
Xiao Nuan nodded and said in a serious tone,””Lord Xu, this must be done by those people who wanted to kill you behind your back. They must know that I sent someone to kidnap you, so you must not go out during this period of time.
At least before I clear your name, you can’t leave the house.”
As she spoke, she casually took a few steps forward, the veil on her body swaying, faintly discernible.
Xu Bai didn’t say anything. Instead, he looked at the woman carefully.
Xiao Nuan did not flinch at all. She looked at Xu Bai openly as if everything she did was fair and aboveboard.
“Alright, I promise you, but… If I still haven’t succeeded after three to five days, I’ll leave this place.”Xu Bai said.
Xiao Nuan nodded.” If you don’t succeed, you can take my head. I won’t have any complaints. Then, you guys stay here for the time being. I’ll go out for a while. ”
Xu Bai nodded and did not say anything else.
Xiao Nuan left cleanly, as if she was really running errands for Xu Bai.
After Xiao Nuan left, Ye Zi suddenly reached out with both hands and grabbed Xu Bai’s palm. She used her fingers to gently slide across his palm and wrote down one word after another. “I keep feeling that there’s something wrong with her.”
Xu Bai nodded but did not respond.
In fact, he could see that there was something wrong. From the beginning to the end, this woman always looked very enthusiastic, as if she was trying to help him.
He had just picked her up last night, and all her subordinates were dead today. If there was no problem, it would not make sense.
However, Xu Bai was thinking about something else.
Was this woman the mastermind? Was there anyone else behind them?
If it was the mastermind behind the scenes, Xu Bai would be able to act boldly now. However, if it was just a small fry and there was a real master behind it, he planned to put it aside for the time being and wait until he caught the big fish behind the scenes before taking action.
“Let’s wait another three to five days and see what this woman wants to do.”Xu Bai grabbed Ye Zi’s hand and wrote.
Ye Zi hummed softly and did not continue speaking.
After experiencing such a small episode, time continued to pass, and everything returned to normal.
Xu Bai didn’t feel anything, but he could feel that the strange fragrance in the room was getting better and better.
As time passed, this strange fragrance gradually faded.
At first, he felt that there was nothing wrong with the smell, but then he realized that something was wrong.
Even after this woman left, this fragrance still existed. Could there be something fishy going on?
Thinking of this, Xu Bai had a plan.
There was a window in this room. He opened the window from morning to night every day to blow away the fragrance.
As time passed, the room returned to normal.
During that time, Xiao Nuan came by once and saw Xu Bai’s actions. However, she did not show any reaction. It seemed that she was not interested in the things that Xu Bai made.
When Xu Bai asked when she could clear her name, Xiao Nuan only said that the time was almost up.
Just like that, the deadline of three to five days was getting closer and closer. It was not until the last day that Xiao Nuan rushed to her room..
