Chapter 310 Who are you trying to fool?
"It's okay, it's just a piece of cake," Bai Yaoyao shook her head and looked at Lan Qimeng with some worry, "Now that the sea beasts are attacking, do you... have a plan to deal with it?"
Lan Qimeng lowered her head and said in a very low voice, "The Crystal Palace is a secret treasure left by Cangqiong Xuanzun. It has a certain degree of protection. At this moment, we can only let the tribesmen take shelter in the Crystal Palace for the time being! As for other countermeasures, I guess we can only know after the elders discuss it."
Bai Yaoyao nodded and was about to say something else when she heard the cold voice of Cyber Elder coming from outside the door.
"Saint! Don't leave yet!"
"I'm coming!" Lan Qimeng let go of Bai Yaoyao's hand, "Yaoyao, I have to go back and discuss matters with the elders first! You... take care of yourself!"
Lan Qimeng took a few quick steps toward the door and suddenly stopped.
"Yaoyao! I am very happy to have formed a bond with you. I am also honored to have experienced a foreign journey with you, to see scenery I have never seen before, and to eat delicacies I have never eaten before... In short, thank you."
Lan Qimeng had already left the house, but Bai Yaoyao was a little dazed. She covered her chest with her hands, feeling uneasy deep down inside...
Why do Lan Qimeng's words sound so much like a farewell...
In a blink of an eye, only Bai Yaoyao, Chen Yingjie and Lu Bai were left in the room.
Chen Yingjie looked at Bai Yaoyao, "Junior sister, it seems that my previous guess has come true. Although I don't know who has the ability to control such a large number of sea beasts, their destination is obviously the Crystal Palace and the mermaids. If it weren't for the incident at the Renyi Inn before, with the help of the immortals from the Hongmeng Immortal Realm, the mermaids would still have a glimmer of hope, but the other party made arrangements in advance and extinguished this hope...
I can predict that if the news of the sea beast attack spreads, most people will leave immediately! That will be the time when the mermaids will be destroyed!"
Lu Bai also nodded, "Brother Chen is right. It is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm. Especially since we are all just here to participate in the trial, no one will risk their lives to help the mermaids for no reason!"
Bai Yaoyao raised an eyebrow, "So, you plan to just run away when those sea beasts come?"
Lu Bai fell into silence, feeling confused.
Seeing him like this, Bai Yaoyao didn't say anything more and just gave Chen Yingjie a look.
Chen Yingjie frowned, looked back, and saw Bai Yaoyao smiling. He couldn't help but rub his forehead with a headache.
He knew that Miss Bai would not give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...
"Brother, let's leave here first! We'll talk about it when we get back!"
The three of them left the side hall together, and just after they left, the people who were originally in the Jubao Pavilion were politely invited out by the guards. After the last person left the Jubao Pavilion, the door of the Jubao Pavilion slammed shut...
In the square, many immortals were discussing the matter.
"What's going on? What happened again? I just saw a treasure and was about to buy it when the guards asked me to leave!"
"Who knows! Last time at the auction, a group of guards searched everywhere, saying that a treasure was lost, but in fact it was their saint who was lost. This time the scene is even bigger than last time, who knows who is lost again!"
"..."
Bai Yaoyao and the other two had already crossed the square and walked to the door of any inn. Bai Yaoyao glanced at Lu Bai who was lost in his own thoughts, and sighed silently.
Forget it! We are not on the same path after all! Let’s just do this on our own!
"Junior Brother Lu Bai, my brother and I are going back to the room, please do as you please!"
After saying this, the two prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, as Bai Yaoyao stepped into the door of the inn with her left foot, she heard Lu Bai chasing after her from behind.
"Wait! Senior Sister Bai, Senior Brother Chen! Can I ask you a question?"
"what is the problem?"
Lu Bai pursed his lips and asked, "Will you stay and fight alongside the mermaids?"
Bai Yaoyao and Chen Yingjie looked at each other, then their eyes fell on Lu Bai, who had obviously made a decision, and gave a vague answer, "Maybe!"
Lu Bai didn't get a positive answer, but he didn't mind. He just smiled heartily, "Senior Sister Bai, Senior Brother Chen, I've made up my mind! I've decided to stay and tide over the difficulties with the mermaids!"
"Oh? Why?"
Chen Yingjie stared at Lu Bai with half his eyes narrowed, trying to figure out his intentions.
As if sensing his gaze, Lu Bai went up to him calmly, "I just wanted to take a gamble. The mistake made by Senior Brother is bound to be blamed on Xiaoyao Sect. I had planned to help you find the real thief, and then use the phantom octopus eggs that Senior Sister Bai lent me as compensation in exchange for the forgiveness of the mermaids.
But now, the disaster of extinction is imminent. Even if there are ten or a hundred times more octopus eggs, I am afraid it will not work. So I thought, if I can stay and share the hardships with the mermaids, maybe I can get their forgiveness, and at the same time, it can be regarded as atonement for what the eldest brother did!"
Bai Yaoyao was a little puzzled. Lu Bai was clearly very hesitant just now, so why did he make up his mind in such a short time?
So she asked directly: "Aren't you afraid? You just saw in the elder's water shadow technique that densely packed sea beasts are not so easy to deal with! Moreover, my senior brother just said that there shouldn't be many people left to help. If you rely on yourself, staying here will only lead to your death!"
Hearing Bai Yaoyao's words, Lu Bai raised his head, "I'm not afraid! Aren't you, Senior Sister Bai and Senior Brother Chen, still here? I guess you must stay to help the mermaids!"
Bai Yaoyao laughed and said, "How do you know that we will definitely stay? Besides, even if we plan to stay, we are no match for so many sea beasts!"
Lu Bai's mouth stretched to the sides, a sly look flashed in his eyes, "Because you are masters! And seeing how familiar you are with the mermaid saint, how could you not stay!"
Bai Yaoyao, Chen Yingjie: ...?
Seeing Bai Yaoyao and Chen Yingjie silent, a hint of pride flashed across Lu Bai's face. In the healing hall, after hearing his senior brother say that they were just ordinary people, he spent a lot of time recalling every moment he spent with them!
The result after this recollection is that Senior Sister Bai and the others are definitely masters who are hiding their true abilities!
Otherwise, how can we explain that a mere mortal could kill the senior brother who had already reached the Golden Core Stage? !
How to explain the fact that Senior Sister Bai had saved his life so many times before?
You know, Lu Bai is a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage after all. He couldn't even protect himself when facing those dangers, but Senior Sister Bai saved him with ease.
And the last time they went to the Shadow Mist Reef, no matter how he thought about it later, he felt that the giant phantom octopus was killed by the two people in front of him!
You have to know that it was a giant octopus that had just laid eggs! ! Not to mention this kind of fierce beast, even if it was an ordinary sea beast, its attack power would be several times higher after laying eggs!
How is it possible that a mere mortal can do this!
