BXBX NOVEL Chapter 950 - I Have a Plan
Chu Bai walked to the statue and looked around. There were indeed a lot of people. He could gather some information from them.
It was also quite good to take a look at the nearby information.
“Excuse me, do you know where the Heavenly Water Sacred Land is?” Chu Bai immediately found someone to ask, wanting to see if they knew anything.
“Skywater Sacred Land? I don’t know.” The old man beside him left immediately.
Chu Bai saw that the old man had already left. Then, he turned to look for an old woman and asked, “May I know if you know of the Heavenly Water Sacred Land…”
Chu Bai asked back and forth, but the people around him all said they didn’t know. This made Chu Bai depressed.
He did not expect that after searching for so long and inquiring for so long, he still could not find anything. Could it be that he had returned empty-handed this time?
If he returned empty-handed, wouldn’t he be letting down the money he had spent?
Chu Bai opened the map and took a look. He had already crossed the map and arrived at a new area. This was different from the previous map of the fishing village and fishing port. This was a flat area. Although the surrounding area was dark, he could definitely explore it in the future.
“It’s him. He’s been sneaking around here asking about something? I think he’s very suspicious. Maybe he’s a pirate or something?” An old woman pointed at Chu Bai.
A group of soldiers stood beside her.
Chu Bai was dumbfounded when he saw this. He didn’t expect to be reported. This was really ridiculous. Did these people have to go to such lengths? I was just asking for information. How did I get reported?
“Alright, then please come with us. We need to investigate your identity.” After saying that, the guards immediately shackled Chu Bai and took him away.
City Lord Manor.
Chu Bai was directly brought into the court.
The environment here was dark and damp, and there were rats passing by everywhere. It was extremely dirty.
“Alright, quickly tell me your identity.” A guard captain didn’t wait for Chu Bai to be cuffed and started to ask about Chu Bai’s background.
Chu Bai was already used to it and took out a sum of money.” I’m a businessman. Let me go.”
When the group of guards saw the money, they immediately accepted it and untied Chu Bai.
“May I ask what Sir is here for? Why are you asking about the Heavenly Water Sacred Land?” The head guard looked at Chu Bai curiously, not understanding his background. After all, ordinary people wouldn’t behave like this, right?
Chu Bai’s background was indeed very puzzling. After all, he was a stranger.
“I was just asking. I just wanted to pay a visit there. I came here by boat to do business.” Chu Bai casually explained.
The head guard nodded.” Oh, no wonder you don’t know. The Heavenly Water Sacred Land is an evil existence. It’s better if you don’t ask here. There’s nothing to visit there.”
The guard captain’s explanation puzzled Chu Bai. After all, it was a holy land. How could it be an evil place?
“How is it evil? Did something happen?” Chu Bai wanted to ask more.
However, the guard captain immediately drank his tea and tapped his fingers on the side.
Chu Bai understood what he meant. He took out some money and gave it to him.
After the guard took the money, he said again,” The Heavenly Water Sacred Land is a very evil place. In the past, we would choose a strong person to cultivate there every year. However, no one has come back alive for hundreds of years. Don’t you think it’s strange?”
“That’s why that place is a very evil place. It keeps devouring our experts. Every year, they will come to find our experts. It’s not good if we don’t go. What do you think we can do here?”
Although the head guard said so, there was still a yearning in his eyes.
“Hehe, although you say that you’re unwilling, in fact, you also want to be selected, right? After all, I can join the ranks of the strong.”
Chu Bai saw the awkward smiles on their faces. Chu Bai had hit the nail on the head.
Who didn’t want to become a powerhouse?
What kind of glory was it to become an expert? This was a great honor for them!
“What about this year? Which one of you will be selected this year?” Chu Bai asked curiously. After all, there should be experts in a city, right?
“It’s the City Lord’s son’s turn this year. It’s said that this child is extremely talented. He’s only 12 years old and already knows how to play with women… Cough cough, no! He knows how to play with all kinds of weapons.”
The guard captain had let it slip for a moment, but his words were still full of admiration for the City Lord’s youngest son.
“Isn’t that right? Isn’t the City Lord very distressed? Doesn’t the City Lord have anything to say? If his son is taken away, I’m afraid they won’t be able to see each other again, right?” Chu Bai could tell the key point at a glance.
“That’s right! That’s why the City Lord has been thinking about how to hide this matter recently, but now that things have already reached this point, how can he hide it?” The guard captain obviously knew that this matter could not be hidden. Now, he could only see what the City Lord would do.
“This matter is quite troublesome. If you can introduce me to the City Lord, I have a way to solve this problem.” Chu Bai’s words were full of confidence, as if he had a lot of ideas about how to resolve this matter. After Chu Bai finished speaking, he looked at them.
The soldiers looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Should they choose to believe Chu Bai or not?
In this situation, he did not know if he should choose to report the news or…
“Do you really have a way?” The soldiers were in disbelief.
After all, in this current situation, if there was really a way to solve City Lord Che’s problem, they would probably receive a lot of rewards.
“I said that I have a way, so I have a way. As long as you can introduce me to the City Lord, I can definitely guarantee that you guys will be promoted and rich.” Chu Bai once again said tempting words. Actually, this was also a very good idea.
After all, he was going to the Tensui Sacred Land, and there was an opportunity in front of him to rope in the City Lord’s help. How could he let go of such a good opportunity?
“Since you’ve made such a promise, we brothers will naturally help you report this news. Alright, then we’ll take you to the City Lord’s living room now.”
As the soldiers spoke, they brought Chu Bai to another place. After he waited here, they immediately went to report the news to the City Lord.
Chu Bai just sat there, drinking tea and waiting.
After waiting for a while, he heard hurried footsteps and saw a tall figure rush in. The door frame in the distance seemed to be unable to accommodate this tall middle-aged man. It could be seen that this person was undoubtedly the City Lord.
