Chapter 1042: Now That Youâre Here, I Feel Calm!
Chi Lian shrugged and looked at Bai Zhou lazily. âItâs better to come at the right time. Didnât you suddenly ask me to come to China to help you resolve this matter?â
Bai Zhou raised his hand and rubbed the space between his eyebrows. He walked to the opposite side of Chi Lian and sat down before saying, âI didnât expect to encounter such a thing tonight. Fortunately, you came soon. Otherwise, Chi Yang and I would have been in danger.â
âWhere are the others?â Chi Lian suddenly asked, âWhen you contacted me, didnât you say that you had already found the Sect Master? Moreover, almost half of the twelve guards have already gathered around her!â
Bai Zhou nodded. âThe doctor with the ghost hand, Xiao Zhen, and the Shadow Asura, Si Yuehan, are all in Baiyun City. Xiao Zhen lives nearby, not far from my apartment. Si Yue lives in North City with the Sect Master. The jade-eyed fox, Yun Buyao, is in Shanghai now, and the Limitless Sword Spirit, Yu Wuyuan, is in the capital. Currently, among the twelve guards, these people have already seen the Sect Master.â
When Chi Lian heard this, her expression turned bitter. âThatâs why youâre telling me now? I left my biological brother to you. Shouldnât you tell me the moment you found the Sect Master?!â
!!
There was some anger in her tone. Chi Lian was obviously angry that Bai Zhou only told her about the Sect Master now.
Bai Zhou felt he had been wronged and couldnât help but explain, âIn the beginning, the Sect Master didnât want to see all of you. Later, she slowly accepted her identity. Itâs only been a year since I found the Sect Master. Although I didnât inform you immediately, it shouldnât be too late, right?â
âSister, itâs all the Sect Masterâs idea. Without the Sect Masterâs instructions, Master wouldnât dare to casually tell you the news.â Chi Yang couldnât help but speak up for Bai Zhou.
Chi Lian immediately restrained her expression and exhaled softly. She nodded. âAlright, when can I see the Sect Master?â
âTomorrow. The Sect Master knows youâre here and will come over tomorrow,â Bai Zhou said.
Chi Lianâs mood eased a little when she heard that. She couldnât help but look at the six corpses on the ground and say calmly, âThese people donât look like theyâre Chinese. It seems that they have some background. Have you investigated them?â
Bai Zhou shook his head with a cold expression. âThis is not the first time. I suspect that someone from the Qiusi royal family instigated it. However, we canât be sure yet, and thereâs no concrete evidence.â
âThen how dare you stay in China alone? If you donât get rid of the mastermind, the crisis will always be around!â Chi Lian said.
Bai Zhou sighed. âSect Master said so too, but I donât plan to return to Qiusi for the time being. Now that youâre here, I feel even more at ease!â
Chi Lian was someone who would not interfere too much in other peopleâs matters. Hearing Bai Zhouâs words, she could feel that he had other plans, so she said nothing and only nodded gently.
The autumn wind blew into the living room. Bai Zhou tightened his pajamas, feeling cold all over. He stood up and said to Chi Lian, âThereâs a clean guest room. Itâs getting late. Letâs talk tomorrow.â
He had drunk a lot of alcohol that night, and his head was still dizzy. When the autumn wind blew, it hurt even more.
When Chi Lian heard this, she couldnât help but look at the corpses on the living room floor. She raised her chin slightly. âArenât you going to handle these?â
Bai Zhou waved his hand indifferently. âLet Xiao Zhen handle it tomorrow. Sleep first.â
