Chapter 173 Leaving, Tracking, or Hunting Down?
Bai Yujin got out of bed, poured a cup of tea, and gently tilted the teapot. The clear water flowed down the spout, making a soft gurgling sound. The tea fell into the cup, and wisps of white steam rose up, with a faint aroma of tea spreading in the air.
She took her teacup, walked to the window, and gently pushed it open.
A night breeze brushed my face, carrying a hint of coolness and the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
Bai Yujin lowered her head and took a sip of tea; the temperature of the tea was just right.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and felt the spiritual energy in the tea flowing through her body.
A moment later, Bai Yujin opened her eyes. She placed the teacup on the windowsill, turned around and returned to the bedside. She put away the array she had taken out earlier. Then, Bai Yujin put the soft sword at her waist back into her spatial storage and took out another sword instead.
It was a short sword, its blade gleaming with a faint, cold light.
It was incredibly sharp when tapped, and Bai Yujin took the short sword downstairs.
When she came down, the people sitting by the window couldn't help but look at Bai Yujin. In that one glance, Bai Yujin realized that someone was watching her. She vaguely knew that it was Yu Chihui and the other people from the aristocratic families who were watching her.
Since they like watching so much, let them keep watching. We'll see if they can keep up later.
As soon as Bai Yujin came down, she called out "Waiter".
"Settle the rest of the bill, I'm not staying here anymore, I need to go out, so..."
The waiter came running at the sound of his voice and replied respectfully, "Yes, fairy, I'll settle your bill right away. But it's so late, are you going out now? The Cloud Sea Auction House in Longyuan Town starts the day after tomorrow. Aren't you going to participate?"
He assumed the fairy had come for the Cloud Sea Auction House.
I didn't expect to leave so soon.
"I won't participate; I have important things to take care of."
A faint smile appeared on Bai Yujin's lips.
The waiter replied, "Okay, I'll settle the bill for the fairy right away."
He quickly checked out and handed the remaining twenty low-grade spirit stones to Bai Yujin. Bai Yujin glanced at them and only took five low-grade spirit stones, leaving the other fifteen behind. Instead, she smiled at the waiter and said, "That's enough. I have what I have, so I'll give it to you. Focus on your cultivation and break through to the sixth level of the Qi Refining stage as soon as possible."
After saying that, Bai Yujin turned and left.
For a moment, the waiter stood there dumbfounded.
Then he came to his senses, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.
"Thank you, fairy. I will definitely cultivate diligently."
Xiao Er's face was flushed as he called out to Bai Yujin's departing figure.
Bai Yujin's figure flashed at the entrance of the inn and then disappeared into the night.
Her steps were firm yet light, and the short sword in her hand seemed to blend seamlessly with her aura, exuding an indescribable tacit understanding. The streetlights were dim, and Bai Yujin's figure was elongated under the lamplight, appearing exceptionally lonely.
As Bai Yujin left, those people quickly followed.
Bai Yujin also knew that they had followed them.
Since they're here, let's give them an unforgettable memory.
The evening breeze blew, causing Bai Yujin's clothes to flutter in the wind. Strands of hair on her forehead were gently lifted by the breeze, revealing her heterochromatic eyes. Although her pace was not fast, it was an ordeal for the people following behind her.
They had a feeling that the woman had seen through them.
This wasn't the first time they'd stalked someone, so why did they keep feeling like they were about to die at this woman's hands? But their fears were quickly confirmed.
Bai Yujin walked through the bustling streets, rounded several corners, and finally arrived at another entrance. Here she saw the city gate of Longyuan Town, with a group of people patrolling around it. Seeing this, Bai Yujin walked over unhurriedly.
The leader heard footsteps approaching and at first didn't know who it was. When he looked up, he saw a familiar figure. A look of respect appeared in his eyes, and he immediately greeted Bai Yujin, "Greetings, Your Excellency."
No one dared to call her "Fairy" casually; they could only respectfully address her as "True Person."
He dared not follow Yu Chi Lin's example and provoke the real man's wrath.
He was truly terrified when someone cut off his "little brother," ruining his life.
Bai Yujin glanced at the person indifferently and gave a casual "hmm".
Then, Bai Yujin walked directly out of the city gate and plunged into a forest outside the city gate.
Her action startled the person hiding in the shadows.
Seriously? We just plunged into the Ghost Valley Forest like that?
Guigu Forest is notoriously dangerous; how are they supposed to keep up?
Now they began to hesitate.
If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have presumptuously undertaken this task.
The group exchanged bewildered glances. They all knew the rumors about Ghost Valley Forest, a place fraught with danger and filled with high-level demonic beasts. They feared that if they entered, their small bodies would be devoured in less than a minute.
But they'd already accepted the order, so they had no choice but to push forward.
They exchanged a knowing look.
The group quickly chased after the city gate.
Once they entered the Ghost Valley Forest, they became even more cautious than before.
Every step felt like walking on thin ice, as if afraid of disturbing the monsters in the forest.
At this moment, Bai Yujin was moving back and forth in the Ghost Valley Forest.
Their steps were as light and easy as if they were taking a stroll in their own backyard.
Soon, Bai Yujin realized that the bath towel had stopped on a flat lawn with a clear lake that shimmered in the moonlight and looked exceptionally tranquil. Bai Yujin simply chose a spot and sat down.
She had barely sat down when those people caught up with her.
Bai Yujin remained calm, taking out a bottle of mineral water from her spatial bracelet, unscrewing the cap, and taking small sips. Her movements were elegant, as if she didn't care at all about the people coming from behind her.
After finishing her water, Bai Yujin put the lid back on.
She tossed the bottled water into her backpack.
She put the backpack into her spatial storage, and held a short sword in her hand.
Those people approached cautiously, their eyes fixed on Bai Yujin.
Just then, Bai Yujin moved, her figure flashing and disappearing from the spot. When she reappeared, the short sword in her hand was already stained with blood, and a barely perceptible killing intent hung on the corner of Bai Yujin's mouth.
"Are you looking for me?"
Bai Yujin's voice rang in their ears.
It was as if Death itself was whispering there.
The leader was Yang Fei, whose face was pale and whose legs trembled uncontrollably. His voice was filled with obvious fear: "Real, Real Person, we are just following orders. Please let us go. I beg you. This is all a joint effort between the Bai family and the Yuchi family. Besides us, there are several other groups of people who are planning to hunt you down."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yujin, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
As expected of the Bai family, they received news of her return so quickly.
It seems that Yu Chi Hui's notification was very timely.
