98.

In the desert.

A white shadow flashed. A handsome scholar gracefully landed in front of a small tea shop at the edge of the desert. The owner of the tea shop only glanced at the tea shop before returning to his work. In the endless desert, even winter did not feel cold. It was as if the sun was high in the sky. At noon, people stood in the surroundings. There was even a slight burning sensation.

The white-clothed scholar opened his fan to block out the glare of the sun as he elegantly walked into the tea shop and sat opposite another green-clothed scholar. Then he put away his fan and said to the owner, "Have a cup of tea."

The owner didn't answer and just picked up a bottle of wine and tossed it over. The wine bottle fell steadily onto the table of the two scholars as if it was under his control.

The white-clothed scholar placed the fan on the table and smiled. "I want tea. Why did you send me some wine?"

"What you want is wine, so why do you call it tea?" The boss finally spoke. He was covered in patches, and even his hair was scattered in front of his eyes; it was extremely unclean.

The white-clothed scholar raised his hand and laughed. "Hahaha, amazing, amazing!"

The boss just snorted and didn't reply.

The white-clothed scholar didn't care. He lifted the wine bottle in front of him and poured himself a cup. He then lifted it and poured a cup for the green-clothed scholar.

The green-clothed scholar raised his cup and took a sip.

"Why are you treating me like this, brother Zi You? I'll pour some wine for you, but you won't clink your glass with mine?" The white-clothed scholar smiled elegantly.

Ever since Zi You had left the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, he had arrived at this place on his journey.

Zi You put down his wine cup and said with a smile, "This first cup is because you have to thank me. It's a must. It's a must."

"Oh?" The white-clothed scholar laughed. "What do you mean?"

"Didn't Brother Bai want to take all six rings?" "I know where it is."

"If it was that Dugu Xingye's ring, I too would know." The white-clothed scholar drank a mouthful of wine and closed his eyes, appearing to enjoy it. He said, "Boss, this wine is pretty good. It's very similar to the wine I drank before. Could it be white flower jade wine?"

The shop owner stopped and raised his head, replying, "That's right."

"That's very expensive." The white-clothed scholar laughed sinisterly. "I, Bai, do not have that silver."

The boss sneered and said, "No need for money."

"Then what do I need?" The white-clothed scholar asked.

The owner took a step forward and threw a small bag to the white-clothed scholar, then coldly said, "This is the target. It's enough to get rid of it."

The white-clothed scholar opened the bag and took out a small piece of paper. He opened it and smiled, "My appetite is not small, Boss, what about the reward?" It's not a bar with a bottle, is it? "

The shop owner bent down and picked up a large jar of wine. He patted it and said, "A hundred years of Jade Rain Wine. A jar."

The white-clothed scholar stared at the jar for a long time, extremely surprised. After a while, he replied, "Deal."

The owner nodded his head and threw the jar of wine over. The white-clothed scholar opened the cover and steadied himself before smiling: "This is indeed the most beautiful, most pure, most fragrant wine in Hundred Flowers Valley. Come, come, brother Zi You must have some good luck today!"

Zi You smiled and said, "Your job is much more profitable than mine."

The white-clothed scholar brought up the wine jug and poured a little. Afterwards, the two clinked cups and took a sip before replying, "The gains are great, and the sacrifices are great as well. It is not fair to say that this world is unfair.

Zi You said, "It's unique."

The white-clothed scholar smiled and said, "Brother Zi You, let's continue with the previous topic."

Zi You nodded and said, "The other ring I know of is the Nuwa Ring. It is currently with the Thousand Poison Sect's daughter, Xue Bailing."

The white-clothed scholar was stunned as he said, "Why didn't you bring it out for me?"

Zi You smiled and said, "How much should we pay for this? Besides, Brother Bai is Zi You's friend, and the Thousand Poisons Sect's daughter is also Zi You's friend."

The white-clothed scholar gave a cold laugh and said, "Friend, it's time for the next life."

When Zi You heard this, he frowned and asked, "What do you mean, Brother Bai?"

"I've heard a lot of news along the way." The white-clothed scholar raised his wine cup and took another sip. He closed his eyes and said, "They say that the Thousand Poison Sect sent tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to kill the Duke of Qingzhou because they were protecting a felon. Not a single person survived."

Hearing this, Zi You felt a cold shiver run down his spine. He hurriedly asked, "How did this happen?"

The white-robed scholar smirked and said: "I'm afraid that Liu Ming found out that the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect has the Six King Rings, so he found a random excuse to massacre the sect. That way, he can remove the thorn in his side and also obtain the Six King Rings.

Zi You was standing at the side, wondering how Chu Ming, Xue Bailing, and Gold God Beast were doing.

"However." The white-clothed scholar said lazily, "Liu Ming has played too much and accompanied him in. Even now, he is still unaccounted for. I'm really going to die from laughter."

When Zi You heard this, he exclaimed in surprise, "Liu Ming is also dead?"

"I don't know." The white-robed scholar took another sip of wine before continuing, "However, losing a Nuwa Ring this time is indeed not a good thing. These two, Dugu Qiye, and the other three ? he'll come find me sooner or later."

"We're in the vicinity of his lair," said Zi You.

The white-clothed scholar laughed and said: "Even if he comes, I'm not afraid. If I can't beat him, can't I run?"

Zi You said with a wry smile, "That would be hard on me."

"Hahaha." The white-clothed scholar took another sip of the Fine Jade Rain Wine, causing him to become somewhat more energetic.

Zi You paused for a moment, then solemnly said, "Those old men all chose nothingness. You are isolated."

"Those old geezers, haha." The white-clothed scholar smiled, "There's no need to worry, there's no need to worry. I don't care about the position inside. If I didn't promise Brother Lin that year, I would have already left."

Zi You also smiled and said, "Brother Bai's magnanimity and conduct of business is truly admirable to Zi You."

The white-clothed scholar waved his hand. "Don't praise me too much."

As he spoke, he stood up and tossed the jar of wine to the owner, saying, "Help me store it. Once I'm done with my business, I'll have a good drink for one day!"

The owner took the jar and felt as if it was about to crack open at any moment. The jar seemed to be flying slowly but powerlessly towards him, and he didn't want to bring such a strong internal energy, even someone at his level of cultivation couldn't handle it. The person in front of him was arrogant and proud, as if he had long thought that no one could stand beside him.

The shop owner placed the wine jar on the ground and said, "Five days."

"Three days." The white-clothed scholar picked up the fan.

The boss said, "The round trip will take 4 days. I don't need you to rush it. You just need 5 days to finish it."

"Aren't you in a hurry?" The white-clothed scholar arrived at the owner's side in a moment, saying, "I'm in a hurry. Time is life."

The owner smiled and said, "Then you have to be alive to come back and get this wine."

The white-clothed scholar laughed. "It's nothing."

Zi You took a sip of his wine and stood up. "Brother Bai, do you need my help?"

The white-clothed scholar walked over and said, "No need, no need. I prefer to work alone. If there are too many people, it would be troublesome."

"In this world, there aren't many people who can say such things." Zi You raised his hand.

The white-robed scholar spread open his fan, looking into the distance. "There are people in the Blood Cult who dare to say such words."

Zi You laughed. "Indeed. If the two of you want to open the Earthen Treasures, this battle cannot be lacking."

The white-clothed scholar fanned himself and smiled, "Do you think my name of 'Stealing Saint Bai Zhenfeng' is just for show?"

The desert was desolate, as far as the eye could see.
