Chapter 417

Feng Yunzheng could do nothing about Lin Bai, so now he could only mutter a few words.

After all, the bet between Lin Bai and Lin Yunzhong had already been settled; he feared it was impossible to stop him now, so he could only let Lin Bai be.

He hoped Lin Bai would return safely.

"Master, then you should rest early; I will return first."

Having spoken, Lin Bai slipped away from the spot in a flash.

"Sigh, I truly do not know whether your nature will turn out good or bad in the future."

Fang Yunzheng helplessly shook his head, turned around, and returned to his own cave dwelling.

The thousand-year snake spirit has long resided in desert lands, surviving by sucking human blood.

The surrounding common people have long suffered from its troubles, so Lin Bai's destination this time was to leave the Zong Sect and head to the Desert Hills in the far north.

The next day, Lin Bai, fully prepared, bid farewell to Feng Yunzheng and others, then set off alone.

"Senior brother, senior brother, wait for me."

As soon as Lin Bai stepped out of the Zong Sect, Wang Yuping's voice reached him.

Lin Bai turned around, looking at the other person with some confusion.

"Why are you following me?"

"Senior brother, Master asked me to come along to look out for you on the road."

Wang Yuping hurriedly stood up.

"No need; you should go back and take care of Master. I have no problems myself."

Lin Bai waved his hand.

"No, Master has already assigned this task to me."

"Moreover, he told me that if I cannot bring you back safely, I need not return either."

"So, senior brother, unless you return with me right now, I cannot return to the Zong Sect."

Wang Yuping's gaze was firm.

"Fine, fine; if you want to follow, then follow."

Lin Bai felt only helplessness, but this was Master's kind intention; he could only let Wang Yuping follow him.

Lin Bai and the others used two days to finally arrive at the town near the Desert Hills.

The two did not rush into the desert; instead, they first found an inn, intending to rest for one night and set off again the next day.

Yet they did not expect to encounter someone they did not wish to see at the inn.

"I did not expect such coincidence."

Seeing Wei Xiang and Lin Yunzhong followed closely behind Lin Bai and the others, walking up one after the other.

Originally, Lin Bai wanted to pretend he did not see them, yet the other party spoke up on their own initiative.

"What is so coincidental? Did we not come for the same purpose?"

Lin Bai rolled his eyes, thinking the other person was truly just making conversation where none was needed.

"Don't come begging us to save you when the time comes."

Seeing Wei Xiang glanced at Lin Bai and the others with sarcasm.

"Boss, two rooms."

Seeing Wei Xiang glanced at Lin Bai and directly handed spirit stones to the inn's boss.

"Honored guests, I am truly sorry; the last two rooms have already been reserved by these two guests. Perhaps you could discuss it among yourselves."

The inn's boss looked at Seeing Wei Xiang apologetically, then pointed at Lin Bai.

"One room? Surely there is at least one room?"

Seeing Wei Xiang, unwilling to give up, continued speaking.

However, what he received was the inn's boss shaking his head.

"I will give you double the price; spare us one room."

Seeing Wei Xiang took out some more spirit stones and looked at Lin Bai.

The entire Desert Hills had only this one inn from start to finish; they could hardly sleep on the streets.
