Chi Lian shrugged and looked at Bai Zhou lazily. “It’s better to come at the right time. Didn’t you suddenly ask me to come to China to help you resolve this matter?”
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, “I didn’t expect to encounter such a thing tonight. Fortunately, you came soon. Otherwise, Chi Yang and I would have been in danger.”
“Where are the others?” Chi Lian suddenly asked, “When you contacted me, didn’t you say that you had already found the Sect Master? Moreover, almost half of the twelve guards have already gathered around her!”
Bai Zhou nodded. “The 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.”
When Chi Lian heard this, her expression turned bitter. “That’s why you’re telling me now? I left my biological brother to you. Shouldn’t you tell me the moment you found the Sect Master?!”!!
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 couldn’t help but explain, “In the beginning, the Sect Master didn’t want to see all of you. Later, she slowly accepted her identity. It’s only been a year since I found the Sect Master. Although I didn’t inform you immediately, it shouldn’t be too late, right?”
“Sister, it’s all the Sect Master’s idea. Without the Sect Master’s instructions, Master wouldn’t dare to casually tell you the news.” Chi Yang couldn’t help but speak up for Bai Zhou.
Chi Lian immediately restrained her expression and exhaled softly. She nodded. “Alright, when can I see the Sect Master?”
“Tomorrow. The Sect Master knows you’re here and will come over tomorrow,” Bai Zhou said.
Chi Lian’s mood eased a little when she heard that. She couldn’t help but look at the six corpses on the ground and say calmly, “These people don’t look like they’re Chinese. It seems that they have some background. Have you investigated them?”
Bai Zhou shook his head with a cold expression. “This is not the first time. I suspect that someone from the Qiusi royal family instigated it. However, we can’t be sure yet, and there’s no concrete evidence.”
“Then how dare you stay in China alone? If you don’t get rid of the mastermind, the crisis will always be around!” Chi Lian said.
Bai Zhou sighed. “Sect Master said so too, but I don’t plan to return to Qiusi for the time being. Now that you’re here, I feel even more at ease!”
Chi Lian was someone who would not interfere too much in other people’s matters. Hearing Bai Zhou’s 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, “There’s a clean guest room. It’s getting late. Let’s talk tomorrow.”
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 couldn’t help but look at the corpses on the living room floor. She raised her chin slightly. “Aren’t you going to handle these?”
Bai Zhou waved his hand indifferently. “Let Xiao Zhen handle it tomorrow. Sleep first.”
