Free Web NovelChapter 2691: Chapter 2694: Not Someone You Can Mess With
Room number one at the inn.
Cheng Huang’er arranged rooms one to eight for Jiang Chen and his group, while Hu Yiqiu and the others took array talismans for rooms two to seven, leaving Jiang Chen in room number one.
"Why? How can you not be there? Jing Yi, where are you?"
In the room, Jiang Chen held his head in pain, clutching his hair tightly, immersed in deep self-blame.
"Jiang Chen, I know where Ye Jingyi is, but I won’t tell you now. Ask me again when you reach the Saint Realm! If you’re not at the Saint Realm, knowing won’t help you anyway!" freewēbnoveℓ.com
After some time, a voice sounded beside Jiang Chen’s ear.
Jiang Chen suddenly lifted his head, and with a flash of his figure, dashed towards the door. Just as he was about to open it, his movements halted suddenly.
If I’m not a Saint, knowing won’t help me?
Jiang Chen’s eyes gradually became firm, and he took out the message transmitting jade slip, speaking slowly and deliberately: "I, Jiang Chen, am destined to become a Saint!"
Putting away the jade slip, Jiang Chen returned to the bed and thought quietly for a moment, then chuckled softly: "It must still be at the Ice and Snow Temple, right? Become a Saint? Very well, I will become a Saint!"
Standing up, Jiang Chen walked to the door and opened it.
First-floor lobby.
"No rooms left?"
A stunning young girl dressed lightly looked pitifully at the innkeeper behind the counter. Beside her stood a towering, burly man, about three meters tall. Luckily, the room’s ceiling was high enough; otherwise, he wouldn’t fit.
"Sorry, miss, we’re truly fully booked."
The innkeeper spoke apologetically.
"Innkeeper, please help me contact your trade alliance’s Pang Guang — Brother Pang."
A gentle voice sounded as Jiang Chen approached the counter, glanced at Feng Xuan’er and Da Han, and nodded lightly, without further interaction.
"Does this gentleman know Guang Shao?"
The innkeeper looked at Jiang Chen in surprise.
"Tell him Jiang Chen is visiting; he will come."
Jiang Chen said softly.
"Alright!"
The innkeeper nodded in response and summoned a staff member, instructing them briefly.
The staff member glanced at Jiang Chen, turned, and quickly ran out of the inn.
Meanwhile, a diner in the lobby looked at Jiang Chen and also hurried out.
"You’re here too? Can you help out?"
Feng Xuan’er approached Jiang Chen, smiling gently.
"Not exchanging."
Jiang Chen glanced at Feng Xuan’er calmly.
Feng Xuan’er was slightly taken aback, then waved her hand, expressing hope: "Not exchanging items with you, but you’re living in several rooms. Can you spare one for us?"
"Rooms?"
Jiang Chen was momentarily surprised, looking at Feng Xuan’er in astonishment: "There aren’t many inns in Canglan City?"
"There are plenty of inns in Canglan City, but only here can you obtain some intelligence on the final competitors!"
Feng Xuan’er explained softly.
Jiang Chen was a bit stunned and turned to the innkeeper behind the counter, asking in surprise: "You dare to sell this?"
"Why not dare?"
Before the innkeeper could answer, a gentle voice laughed.
Jiang Chen turned and saw a young man in white, with an elegant demeanor and holding a folding fan, gracefully entering from the inn’s entrance.
"Bai Xiao Building’s contemporary Bai Xiaosheng, greetings to Young Master Jiang, Miss Feng, and Young Master Gu!"
The young man approached Jiang Chen, smiling lightly and cupping his hands in a salute.
"Bai Xiaosheng!?"
Jiang Chen was shocked at heart.
Bai Xiao Building, one of the four super forces, specializes in intelligence trading.
This Bai Xiao Building is extremely mysterious, with unknown headquarters location and specific strength; only known that when established fifty thousand years ago, the first Bai Xiaosheng was at the Saint Realm, and ten Saint Monarchs killed that Bai Xiaosheng. That night, the forces of the ten Saint Monarchs were completely slaughtered.
At that time, Canglan Great Emperor personally examined and confirmed that the forces of the ten Saint Monarchs were killed by those below Semi-Saint, without any Semi-Saint level intervention.
After Canglan Great Emperor’s investigation, he battled someone in the Endless Void, and the result was unknown. In the end, an elderly voice spread across the continent: ’Bai Xiao Building will never sell information on the Si Family!’
In the following ten thousand years, some forces also sought Bai Xiao Building’s leader to request not to sell their forces’ information, yet battles in the void occurred multiple times; even the renowned God of War, Slaughter King, Canghai Trade Alliance Hierarch, and Six Great Academies’ deans took action, but Bai Xiao Building never again announced information it wouldn’t sell.
This led all continental forces to realize Bai Xiao Building’s terror, never daring to touch its people.
And this Bai Xiaosheng serves as Bai Xiao Building’s spokesperson, with only one per generation. Upon reaching the Saint Realm, he returns to the mysteriously located headquarters to introduce the next Bai Xiaosheng.
"You mentioned him first, then me, by Bai Xiao Building’s rules, implying his talent is superior to mine?"
Feng Xuan’er glanced at Jiang Chen, her face suspicious as she looked at Bai Xiaosheng.
Bai Xiaosheng smiled slightly, speaking softly: "Miss Feng, despite your youthful appearance, you are twenty-seven."
Feng Xuan’er’s face reddened, retorting: "He’s thirty!"
"Young Master Jiang has cultivated for seven years and suppressed his realm for over two years."
Bai Xiaosheng glanced at Jiang Chen and said quietly: "Consider this as a gift for the young lady."
Feng Xuan’er’s expression changed, looking at Jiang Chen in shock.
Da Han couldn’t help but shrink his pupils, slightly parting his mouth, staring wide-eyed at Jiang Chen.
Cultivating for seven years, doesn’t that mean starting in one’s twenties? That’s long past the best foundational age. Yet, he reached the Divine Infant Realm Peak in less than five years... this...
Feng Xuan’er was left speechless.
"Does Lord Bai Xiaosheng seek me for something?"
Jiang Chen asked softly.
"Nothing, just a coincidence. Here’s information on this time’s final contest, a greeting gift to Young Master Jiang to make friends."
Bai Xiaosheng smiled slightly, taking out a jade slip and handing it to Jiang Chen.
Everyone in the lobby stared eagerly at Bai Xiaosheng’s jade slip; intelligence personally given by Bai Xiaosheng is the most detailed. The inn’s information comes in three levels, and even the highest might not compare to Bai Xiaosheng’s.
Though people’s hearts were eager, they didn’t dare grab it; this was Bai Xiaosheng, in Canglan City!
However, there are other means.
Everyone glanced at Jiang Chen, showing unusual expressions.
Jiang Chen deeply looked at Bai Xiaosheng, took the jade slip: "Thank you."
"Mind leaving an imprint?"
Bai Xiaosheng took out another jade slip, a message transmitting jade slip.
Jiang Chen chuckled lightly, took out his message transmitting jade slip, exchanging primordial spirit imprints with Bai Xiaosheng.
"Intercontinental transmission jade slip?"
A diner recognized Jiang Chen’s transmitting jade slip and exclaimed.
"What!?"
"He possesses an intercontinental transmission jade slip!?"
People exclaimed in surprise.
Some people’s faces changed, abandoning emerging thoughts; having an intercontinental transfer jade slip signifies someone not easily provoked.
