Chapter 376: The Deal
For a moment, Theft Saint Bai Wuying and Bai Xiaotang stared each other down.
But very quickly, Bai Xiaotang wilted under a guilty conscience, turned her face away, and pretended to look in every other direction, "Aiya, what are you so worried about, old beggar? For someone as exceptionally gifted as me, martial world experts falling over themselves to hand me techniques, isn't that completely normal?"
At those words, Bai Wuying nearly laughed through his irritation, "With that talent of yours? In front of any truly gifted martial prodigy it amounts to nothing. You think anyone would bother looking twice at you?"
As he said this, he slapped the table with a sharp crack, "Talk. Who taught you that finger technique? And if you don't, don't blame me for stringing you up."
At those words, Bai Xiaotang flinched. Back in her days as a young beggar, she had not received a shortage of beatings from the old beggar in front of her. The Theft Saint might have a name that commanded respect throughout the martial world, but when it came to hitting people, he beat her like a coachman flogging a mule.
In the next instant, she saw Bai Wuying set down his wine jar and start rolling up his sleeves, clearly ready to follow through. Bai Xiaotang could not hold her ground any longer, and immediately waved her hands, "Let's talk this through properly. Why are you getting physical? I'll tell you, all right?"
At those words, Bai Wuying stopped with a cold laugh, "Then who was it?"
Bai Xiaotang muttered something under her breath, then stretched out a hand and pointed at the Grand Manager of the Treasure Assembly Trading House beside them, "It's the person I asked him to find."
Bai Wuying's brow creased. He looked at the Grand Manager, who immediately waved his hands repeatedly, "Elder Brother Bai, this humble one hasn't started looking yet. I have no idea who the person is."
