Chapter 534

"Besides, haven't you already returned to rest?"

"What time is it? Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

After confirming who the person was, Shi Zhiling couldn't help but frown.

He thought Shi You would have rested after returning, but the other party's current state clearly showed they were waiting for him to return, probably for quite some time.

"Hehe, how is the girl? Isn't Lin Bai a good person?"

Shi You, with a face full of smiles, leaned over toward Shi Zhiling.

"It's just so-so."

Shi Zhiling lowered her head with a flushed face, yet a trace of a smile lingered at the corners of her mouth.

"What do you mean 'just so-so'? Don't forget, Grandpa, the task I gave you."

"Strive to secure Lin Bai. By then, even if he cannot become a disciple of our Shi Zhiling, at the very least he can become my grandson-in-law 'Zero Five Zero'."

"Such talents are rare; you must seize this opportunity."

Hearing the little girl say this, Shi You instantly became worried.

"Oh, Grandpa, I came here to compete on behalf of the eldest senior brother; please stop teasing me."

"Besides, I am currently in the identity of a man."

"He doesn't even see me as a girl."

Shi Zhiling frowned, feeling that Shi You was being far too unprofessional, so she quickly bypassed him and hurried back toward her residence.

"Oh, the competition is a minor matter."

"Even if you don't win a ranking this time, as long as you can secure Lin Bai, that's enough."

Shi You raised an eyebrow; he had no intention whatsoever of considering the champion's throne, after all, with so many experts gathered, even though his granddaughter's strength was no worse than theirs.

But with Lin Bai and the two disciples of the Heavenly Immortal Realm there, their Shi Zhiling would definitely be unable to compete.

So, it was better to honestly think about how to use this granddaughter to win over Lin Bai; if Lin Bai happened to win the championship, their Shi Zhiling could also bask in the glory.

"Grandpa, stop talking. I'm sleepy. Such things cannot be forced; let everything follow its natural course."

Shi Zhiling stopped in her tracks, looking at Shi You beside her with a face full of helplessness.

"Fine, fine, fine. You girl are really something, but you should put a bit more heart into it; after all, a man like Lin Bai is something one can encounter but not seek."

Shi You saw that his granddaughter was starting to dislike him, so he quickly shut his mouth.

After all, this granddaughter was one he had cherished in his palm since she was small, so naturally, he couldn't bear to see her angry.

He could only watch as Shi Zhiling returned to her residence, and only after he could no longer see her shadow did he feel willing to return.

Meanwhile, Lin Bai was also hurrying on his way back, but he didn't expect that just as he was about to reach the territory of the Wu Shi Land, someone suddenly burst out from the darkness, and there were quite a few of them.

Lin Bai frowned, sensed their aura, and found their levels were not particularly high, merely equal to his own.

Lin Bai instantly breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed these people were not from the Yan Luo Hall, leaving only one possibility.

"Lin Bai, today we brothers just want to meet you; please offer your instruction."

At this moment, one of the big-headed figures made a gesture of challenge, looking at Lin Bai with a face full of smiles.

However, since they all wore masks, Lin Bai could not see what they looked like at all.

"Who sent you? How much money did the other party give you?"

"I will give you double."

Seeing that these few people did not want to waste his time, Lin Bai cut the knot quickly and directly asked the other party for a price.

【36】 "You, how dare you insult us with money? Ah!"

Hearing what Lin Bai said, the man who had just prepared for a fight instantly straightened his body, looked at Lin Bai, and said with great displeasure.

Hearing Lin Bai's words, the man who had just prepared for a fight instantly straightened up, looked at Lin Bai, and said with an annoyed expression.

"Or did you not accept anyone's money? If so, you are truly too foolish; someone didn't even need money, yet managed to make you harbor murderous intent against me with just a few words."

"That is truly something to admire; if you get the chance, remember to tell the other party for me."

Lin Bai looked at the other party, blinked his eyes, and gave a thumbs-up, but these words undoubtedly called them fools for being used as pawns.

"Senior Brother, I just feel his words are strange, but it seems there is nothing wrong with them."

At this moment, another man standing beside the first man couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

He felt that what Lin Bai said made quite a lot of sense.

Yet he also felt there was something hidden in those words, as if something was not quite right.

"You fool, he is calling you a fool."

The man called Senior Brother turned around and tapped the boy's head; the boy who was hit held his head in pain and wore a face full of grievance.

"You say I have no grudge or hatred with you, so why block my path for no reason?"

"If people from other sects find out, won't you be despised?"

"So, it is getting late; you should hurry back and rest."

Seeing the appearance of the few people, Lin Bai spoke to advise them, then immediately turned to leave.

"No, we have already promised the other party that we must teach you a lesson."

Seeing Lin Bai about to leave, the man called Senior Brother quickly blocked Lin Bai's path.

No matter what, one must fulfill what one has promised to others and cannot give up halfway.

Otherwise, wouldn't one lose all integrity?

"What, do you insist on fighting me?"

"Do you want to be beaten black and blue and then beg for mercy?"

Lin Bai looked at these few people with a face full of helplessness; he had already spoken to this extent, yet they were still so stubborn, forcing him to take action?
