C2585 Big Fish Eating Small Fish
"Qing Ping, I've already told you that I came out to relax after staying in the sect for so long. I just wanted to take you on a tour, so why are you worrying about me …"
Seeing that Xia Qingping had reached this point, her eyes were already filled with tears, like raindrops. Xia Fei immediately waved his hands, pretending to be free and uninhibited as he consoled his sister.
The affection between brother and sister was deep. When Lin Bai heard this, he couldn't help but have a better impression of Xia Fei. How could he not understand that Xia Fei's words were just an excuse. If he wasn't worried about Xia Qingping's safety, how would he have taken such a risk?
But the more it was like this, the more one could see the kind and valuable nature of Xia Fei. If it was an ordinary person, they would have already thrown their flesh and blood relationship, which was thicker than water, to the side when they encountered this kind of thing. They would not care about it at all, and even if they had to force it, they might still resent it.
"Lady Qingping, don't worry. Your brother has the cultivation of the upper level of the Radiant Sun and is accompanied by the two of us. This time on the road, you can relax and be at ease. Nothing will happen to him." Although she was comforted by Xia Fei, Xia Qingping still had an apologetic expression. Lin Bai could not help but gently smile and followed up with Xia Fei's words to comfort her.
Not only Lin Bai, Jin Baohong also chimed in from the side, hinting Xia Qingping not to think too much about it.
After being comforted by the two of them, the crying Xia Qingping finally stopped and she returned to her silent state. Although she did not say anything, her peripheral vision kept on peeking at Lin Bai. Furthermore, every time her gaze met with Lin Bai's, her face would redden uncontrollably.
However, Jin Baohong and Xia Fei were both simple-minded people, so how could they be able to see the love between a little girl like Xia Qingping? They were just chatting merrily, indulging in fantasies of the legendary Ten Thousand Year Holy Maiden.
There were days and nights in the Celestial Realm as well. Not long after, the sky gradually darkened. Dark clouds covered the moon and there was no light. After this journey, everyone was a little tired, so they found a place to gather energy. Taking out some things from their storage rings, they set up their tents, planning to rest for the night, and travel the next day.
It was not only Lin Bai and the rest who had made such plans. Not long after they had set up camp, there were actually quite a number of people who had set up tents beside their tents.
With regards to the actions of these people, Lin Bai naturally had nothing to do with him. He just quietly sat in the tent, continuously adjusting his body and doing his best to keep his spiritual will and mana at his peak.
He was very clear that if he entered the Heavenly Passage and met the old man, he would definitely have to fight with that old monster to the death. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to save Sophia and Li Qingnan. This was because he had a premonition that with his current cultivation level and strength, if he were to fight against an old monster at the Formless Stage like that old man Tianliang, he feared that the odds were against him.
Using an egg to hit a rock was not a good idea, but if he just sat there and watched Li Qingnan and Sophia fall into the tiger's den without trying to help, that was not Lin Bai's habit. Especially since these two little girls were still treated as human medicine, it was a life-threatening risk.
The more he thought about it, the more disturbed Lin Bai felt. His head felt like it was about to explode, making it even harder for him to fall asleep. For a moment, he even wanted to head out to take a walk so that he could expel the foul air in his heart and calm his mind.
"Everyone in the tent, come out. This Immortal will give you all a great fortune …" Just as Lin Bai stood up and was about to leave the tent, he suddenly felt a tyrannical aura appearing from outside the tent. After which, an arrogant voice exploded like thunder in the tranquil night sky.
Early stage of the Qian Yuan Realm! The moment this aura appeared, Lin Bai immediately grasped the cultivation level of the person who uttered this sentence. Moreover, for some reason, he felt that this voice seemed somewhat familiar.
But what confused Lin Bai was that in the middle of the night, this person, who was in the Qianyuan Realm, was either looking for a place to rest, or taking advantage of the night to head to the Ten Thousand Beginning Paradise.
"If you don't come out within three breaths of time, don't blame me for being ruthless!" While Lin Bai was still in doubt, the cold and stern voice outside the tent rang out once again. Moreover, the tone of the voice contained a slight impatience and killing intent.
Go out and take a look. Even though he was doubtful, Lin Bai still opened the tent and walked out. When he walked out of the tent, he discovered that not only him, but the other pedestrians in the surrounding tents had also walked out. They were all trembling with fear as they stood at the entrance of the tent.
Why was he back? When Lin Bai saw that person, he couldn't help but be stunned. At this moment, the person in the camp was not the white-haired young man from before, so who could he be?
However, this white-haired young man's appearance was different from his previous arrogant one. Now, his face was filled with anger and exasperation. Not only that, there were also quite a few wounds on his body. It was as if he had just had an argument with someone.
"May I know what it is that you need us to guide you about?" Lin Bai wasn't the only one who noticed that this white-haired young man had asked for directions. The rest of the people present also noticed this. Although they were puzzled as to why this young man had returned, they felt slightly more at ease.
However, contrary to everyone's expectations, just as he spoke to inquire about the arrival of this white-haired young man, his eyes suddenly turned cold. After which, he lifted his finger and released a powerful Qi that directly beheaded that person.
"Chi!" The finger swept the air and scalding blood splattered onto the icy cold ground. The strong smell of blood pervaded the air in an instant. The salty smell was enough to make one feel nauseous.
The crowd couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines when they heard this. Although they didn't understand the intentions of this white-haired young man, they could tell that he had no good intentions in coming here. That timid person in particular was trembling uncontrollably in his knees, as if he would kneel to the ground at any moment.
"If you don't want to suffer the same fate as this man, then hand over your storage rings and things to me!" While everyone was still in doubt, the white-haired young man's cold gaze swept across everyone's faces as he spoke in a faint voice.
F * ck, this guy is here to rob us! With these words, the people in the crowd immediately understood the purpose of the white-haired youth's visit. However, he was more confused than before. Even though it was just the initial stage, this white-haired young man was still in the Qianyuan realm. He was already a half-step into the True Immortal Realm, so how could someone like him fancy the items in the hands of a Yang Hui.
So that's how it was! Not to mention the others, even Lin Bai was somewhat perplexed. However, when he saw the white-haired youth's miserable appearance and vicious gaze, his heart suddenly became as clear as a mirror.
The reason why this young man returned was probably because he encountered some unforeseen event along the way. It was likely that someone stole his things. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become so flustered and flustered like he was before.
It was precisely because everything he possessed had been taken away by others that he had returned and set his sights on these people of the Sunlight Realm. He intended to take their belongings and use them to make up for his losses.
Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, shrimp eat mud. After understanding all of this, Lin Bai could not help but recall a common saying passed down from the heart of the mortal world. These words were perfectly fitting when used on this white-haired young man of today.
However, as far as Lin Bai was concerned, this matter was somewhat laughable. If someone robbed you, you wouldn't go and seek revenge on the person who robbed you, but instead want to bully someone weaker than you, what kind of excuse is that?! When he thought about how this white-haired young man had looked so arrogant when he was flying through the air, Lin Bai felt that this young man was truly shameless to the extreme.
"Hand over your things in three breaths' time. If you have any, this person will be your ending!" But at this time, the sinister voice of the white-haired youth resounded once again. Each word was bone-chilling and terrifying.
Such bullying was already a common occurrence for the people of the Celestial Realm. Needless to say, this young man was still a Qianyuan expert, how could they dare to disobey him? Furthermore, he had killed one of them to make an example for others.
Seeing this scene, the timid cultivator could only bitterly smile. Although he was extremely unwilling and unwilling, he still took out his storage ring or item and placed it in front of the white-haired youth.
Right at this moment, Jin Baohong silently approached Lin Bai, nudged him with his elbow, and cast a probing glance in his direction. He wanted to ask Lin Bai what was he going to do with the current situation.
Lin Bai slightly shook his head, signalling Jin Baohong not to act rashly for the time being. First, he had to figure out what this white-haired youth was planning to do. If he had some ability to see, it would be for the best if he didn't offend Ye Xiwen. However, if he became blind, then he couldn't be blamed.
"It's the two of you. I was just unable to see the two of you. I didn't expect that the both of you would actually come knocking …" But at this moment, the white-haired young man suddenly revealed a look of joy. His voice was low and low, and there was an indescribable coldness to it, as if his resentment was overflowing!
