Chapter 494 - 494: Broken Walls and Ruins
The provincial government office looked very luxurious. Compared to other places, this place was very luxurious.
Xu Bai also recognized the person standing at the door. To be precise, he was indeed very familiar with him.
It was broad daylight, and the sun was shining brightly. Although it was close to winter, the winter sun still added some warmth to it. Under the sunlight, there was a person standing under the sunlight, reflecting a ray of light from time to time.
This light was reflected from the top of this person’s head. There was no hair on his head, and it was bald.
“Almsgiver Xu!” A monk wearing ordinary clothes walked over quickly with a happy expression on his face.
His strength was as deep as the sea, and it seemed that he had already reached
Rank-3?
Xu Bai smiled.”
This monk was none other than the long-departed No Flower.
He didn’t expect that after being separated for so long, No Flower’s strength had already increased rapidly. Just from that unfathomable aura, it could be seen.
In Xu Bai’s eyes, No Flower was just an ordinary person. He didn’t have the solemnity of a monk like he had before.
After entering the mortal world, he had to think of a way to leave it. Now, it seemed that No Flower had already taken the first step and was no different from an ordinary person.
No Flower walked over and said excitedly, ‘”‘1 happened to be on my way to
Lingyun State and happened to pass by this place. When I learned that
Almsgiver Xu was here, I couldn’t wait to come over and meet Almsgiver Xu.”
The excitement on his face was genuine. After all, their relationship was different. Back when they were in the county, they had gone through life and death together. He, Xu Bai, and Liu Xu had indeed experienced that period of time together.
Especially Xu Bai. In Wu Hua’s opinion, Xu Bai was a very Buddha-hearted person. He was devoted to Buddhism. Other than his Buddhist nature being a little lacking, everything else was perfect.
“Lingyun State?” Xu Bai had wanted to try and chat a little more, but after hearing No Flower’s words, he was stunned.
This was his next destination. No Flower was going there too?
Thinking of this, he temporarily gave up on reminiscing about the past and asked his doubts.
No Flower was also very shocked. He had indeed only come to catch up and did not know where Xu Bai was going, so he could not hide the surprise on his face.
The two of them stood where they were and communicated for a while. Only then did Xu Bai understand what was going on with No Flower.
Now, No Flower was already a director. Compared to before, it was a big step up. The things he managed were also relatively wider.
This time, he was here because something big had happened in Lingyun State, so he had to rush over to deal with it. Since he was passing by this place, he came to see Xu Bai.
After Xu Bai roughly understood the situation, he rubbed his chin and said,””Do you want to go together?”
Anyway, it was on the way, and their relationship was unusual, so it was fine for them to walk together.
When No Flower heard that Xu Bai wanted to go to the place he was going to, he already had this intention. It was just that he hadn’t mentioned it yet.
Ye Zi watched from the side and did not say anything. She just stood quietly at the side. She knew that this person should be the young master’s friend, so she also played the role of a servant girl.
“Almsgiver Xu, since we’re leaving, let’s not delay any further and hurry on!”Wu Hua said.
He was still the same as before, doing things in a hurry. His personality hadn’t changed much. Once he found a way, he would do it immediately.
Xu Bai glanced at the Gate, but he did not see the state token at the door. He had already known about this situation, and guessed that it was another pedantic scholar who did not like people born in the martial world.
They didn’t even go out to welcome him. At least some people would do something ostentatious, but it was obvious that they didn’t even do anything ostentatious here.
“This is how the world is. Many scholars are like this.”No Flower could tell what Xu Bai was thinking and explained.
Of course, Xu Bai didn’t care. Everyone had their own principles and thoughts. He wouldn’t interfere easily.
It was fine as long as they did not provoke him. If they had to impose those so-called principles and thoughts on him, then he could only be ruthless.
“Let’s go. We’ll set off now.”Xu Bai said.
The matter here was almost settled. The reason why he wanted to stay here was because he wanted to increase the progress bar. Now that the bronze coffin lid was finished, no flower happened to come again. It just so happened that they could go together. When they reached the next location, they could have one more helper.
No Flower also brought a fast horse and tied it to a tree not far away. After hearing Xu Bai agree, he pulled the fast horse down and prepared to leave with Xu Bai.
Xu Bai didn’t waste any time. The two of them didn’t say anything more and left on their horses.
Ye Zi rode on one with him, the puppet of the Fourth Stage rode on another, and No Flower rode on another alone.
Without staying long or cleaning up, the group left on their horses.
The place was quiet again. After Xu Bai left, he didn’t stop and walked to his next destination as fast as he could. The wilderness was very dark and quiet. Other than the sound of Xu Bai’s hooves, there was no other sound.
The distance between the two places was still very far, and it would take a certain amount of time to get there.
During this time, the two of them chatted from time to time. The most important topic was about No Flower..
