Chapter 127 Little White Fox Speaking Tongue Twisters
Lin Bai didn’t care about his actions being misunderstood.
It would be a fool’s errand not to seize an opportunity.
Controlling such a large piece of the newcomers’ pie, he naturally wanted to find a way to reap some benefits for himself. It was simply a matter of mutual benefit.
He knew too little about this world. For instance, he didn’t know why a sword engraved with a formation could increase true Qi by thirty percent. The Basic Theory of Magical Items mentioned none of these things. The Dan Fang he had figured out himself was still limited to various improved versions based on the Rejuvenating Pill, far from meeting his expectations.
So, even if it meant slacking off, he still had to gather more samples for himself.
Reputation? Who cares!
As it turned out, neither the Spirit Artifact Pavilion nor Medicine King Valley minded stuffing some benefits into his hands to foster a closer relationship. In their eyes, Lin Bai asking for benefits was a friendly gesture. The commotion last night had not been small; they couldn’t hide the fact that Daoist Qingming was killed by the Palm Thunder. Lin Bai, who could kill a Golden Core cultivator with the Palm Thunder, possessed the strength to converse with them as an equal.
Although they didn’t know why Qingming had suddenly attacked, those shrewd and diplomatic sect leaders were happy to see Return to Dragon View suffer and Lin Bai’s background gradually exposed. Compared to Lin Bai taking some benefits from them, they were more averse to dealing with a Lin Bai who was a stranger and on the verge of monopolizing the newcomers in a foundational city.
The Evil Sect’s establishment in Qian City was already a settled matter. If they wanted to balance the relationship between the newcomers and the various sects, Lin Bai, an outsider not belonging to any faction, was an excellent choice—even better than the City Lord of Qian City.
As for the conflict between Lin Bai and Return to Dragon View, what did it have to do with them? At worst, if a real fight broke out between the two sides, they could just mediate a few words. Moreover, Lin Bai’s relationship with the Blood Shadow Sect wasn’t good either. The Righteous faction had Return to Dragon View; the Evil Sect had the Blood Shadow Sect.
Lin Bai’s background and abilities would eventually be probed, bit by bit. The moment they truly understood his background, whether to kill or to keep him—wouldn’t that be their decision?
