After exchanging views with Prince Chen and Chao Yushi of Prince Hong Estate, Lin Bai, Bai Yifei, and the others returned to Tianshui Sect's temporary palace.
Back at his residence, Lin Bai stared blankly at the lush osmanthus tree in the courtyard.
Southern Border Insect Valley's ambiguous attitude had thrown Lin Bai's entire plan into disarray.
He had thought that once Southern Border Insect Valley entered the imperial capital, he and Southern Border Insect Valley would join forces, and Xia Jingzhi would certainly be doomed.
But who could have guessed... Southern Border Insect Valley did not seem particularly eager to capture Xia Jingzhi, this "traitor"?
Their attitude was vague and ambiguous... It had even given Lin Bai the illusion that Xia Jingzhi might be Southern Border Insect Valley's "open piece" planted in the imperial capital.
If there were "hidden pieces," then naturally there were "open pieces" as well.
Hidden pieces were not frightening. As long as one found them, one could uproot them.
But if an open piece was used well, it could cause earth-shaking changes!
Regardless, Southern Border Insect Valley could no longer be relied upon. From here on, Lin Bai would have to find a way to deal with Xia Jingzhi himself.
"Looks like I still have to rely on myself!"
Lin Bai shook his head. Given the current situation, Zhao Xing Office and Chao Yushi had no way to deal with Xia Jingzhi.
From here on, he could only depend on himself.
Lin Bai took out a sheet of pristine xuan paper, prepared his brush and ink, and stood beside the stone table in the courtyard.
He looked at the paper and thought seriously for a while. "The first thing is to find Xia Jingzhi!"
But the question was, how could he find Xia Jingzhi?
