After apologizing, Chen Feiying of the Black Alliance led his men away, while the martial artists of the Crimson Alliance also left in fury when they saw the Black Alliance withdraw.
Only after watching both groups leave the gate did Lin Bai turn and walk back into the courtyard.
Hong Su asked, "How did it go?"
Lin Bai closed the gate and said, "They've all left. Go get some rest. They probably won't come back tonight!"
Hong Su nodded slightly, then looked toward the east wing and said with a smile, "I'll be staying here from now on!"
Lin Bai smiled. "All right."
Hong Su smiled and returned to her room to rest.
Lin Bai, meanwhile, stood in the courtyard, his face expressionless.
After a short while, Lin Bai walked to the gate, flung it open, and said coldly, "Come out. I know you're here!"
There was no one in front of Lin Bai's gate. Yet as soon as his voice fell, a smiling man stepped out from a shadowy corner of the wall.
This man was none other than the beggar Lin Bai had encountered on the way when Dan Xiaonan brought him to Badlands Prefecture.
At the time, Lin Bai had clearly seen that this beggar sold useful information to Dan Xiaonan.
"It's you!" Lin Bai's eyes flickered as he looked at the man.
The beggar approached with a grin and asked, "Nothing happened, right?"
Lin Bai's expression remained unchanged as he said lightly, "Weren't you squatting in that corner the whole time? You saw everything that just happened, didn't you? Why are you still asking me?"
"Uh..." The beggar had never imagined that Lin Bai had discovered him beforehand. He had thought Lin Bai only noticed him after the people from the Crimson Alliance and Black Alliance
