Chapter 534: Chapter 482: Bai Xiaosheng’s coercion
Leveraging the divine position of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, his strength was recovering rapidly. Although it was still far from his peak strength, it was a significant improvement from when he first returned to his ancestral land. At this point, he had enough power to protect himself. Even if the foes from the Sky Wasteland were to pursue him, he had the means to confront them, leaving him far from helpless.
Bai Xiaosheng shook his head and said, “I heard that in ancient times, the Witch Deity Teaching was originally in charge of the rites of the Divine Dynasty, weren’t they?”
He was not Pei Xuanjing. Pei Xuanjing had enough confidence to allow some people to do some things, to turn a blind eye to certain matters. But the nature of Bai Xiaosheng meant that he paid great attention to many things, he couldn’t possibly ignore them.
Mr. Wu, still smiling, said: “Superintendent, if you have something to say, just say it straight out, there’s no need to beat around the bush.”
“Since Mr. Wu is so blunt, I’ll just get straight to the point.” Bai Xiaosheng switched his self-reference to ‘I’, and directly stated: “I am quite curious about some events that happened in ancient times and would like to discuss them with you.”
He was probing. Bai Xiaosheng’s branch had a hold on a lot of information, but even Bai Xiaosheng himself couldn’t confirm whether these pieces of information were true or false.
Therefore, he wanted to take the opportunity to probe, to cross-validate and observe the other party’s attitude, while checking to see if the information he held was true.
There was a flicker of cold light in Mr. Wu’s deep eyes, which disappeared instantly, almost unnoticed by Bai Xiaosheng.
He stared intently at Bai Xiaosheng, not making a sound. The hall of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory became extremely quiet. Both of them stared at each other, neither backing down.
Had Pei Xuanjing been present, he would have instantly realized that Bai Xiaosheng was being too reckless. Bai was gambling with his own life.
The mystery of this Mr. Wu was even a cause of concern for Pei Xuanjing himself. It was due to Pei’s confidence in his own strength that he was willing to trade with the other party, despite not having much trust in him.
