Chapter 2244 - 643: The Beginning of Country Bai (Part 4)
This time, accompanying her are the Thirteen Blood Generals and the Feng Family Five Brothers, as well as Xiao Hei and the Four Divine Beasts. Ever since Long Zixuan saved Xiao Hei last time, he stayed behind. The Dragon Clan’s internal matters have been settled, and the Old Clan Chief also knows that Long Zixuan has many things to do, so he simply kicked him out.
Originally, An Yiqing planned to bring Yin Xilin and Tiezhu, but due to the perilous nature of this journey to Country Bai, coupled with Xuanjin Hall’s recent busyness, she contemplated for a long time and decided to leave Yin Xilin and Tiezhu by Ye Chenghong’s side.
The group, after concealing their identities, dispersed and boarded the plane heading to Country Bai.
Country Bai, Baidu, in a small alley, there’s an ordinary little hotel that welcomed a plain-looking young girl. Behind her followed a middle-aged couple. All three dressed simply, looked ordinary, and spoke fluent Bai dialect.
"Boss, are there any vacant rooms?" The young girl walked to the cashier’s desk, put down the backpack on her shoulder, and smiled shyly.
The boss, who was watching TV, lazily lifted his eyelids, then lowered them again without responding.
The girl didn’t get angry, lightly knocked on the bar a few times, "Boss, is there a vacant room? Even one will do."
The boss lazily glanced at the girl’s hand on the bar, slowly stood up, and gestured the number 7 with his fingers, "There’s a vacant room, but it’s not cheap, seven thousand yuan a day." Naturally, he meant Bai currency.
"Seven thousand bucks? That’s too expensive!" The girl shook her head repeatedly, extending her fingers, "How about six thousand?"
The boss pursed his lips, grumbled twice in dissatisfaction, and waved impatiently, "Alright, alright!"
With that, he turned his head and shouted inside, "Come out! There are guests!"
The sound of footsteps echoed, and a middle-aged woman ran out from inside. She wore a light gray Bai outfit, wooden clogs on her feet, and her long hair casually pinned up, her face weathered by the elements.
"Take them to the room," the man ordered imperiously.
The woman nodded repeatedly, gesturing a "please" to the three guests.
Through a long corridor, the woman led the three into the accommodation area. She approached a room door, swiped a key card, pushed the door open, and the three guests followed her into the room, soon after she came out.
The room door closed slowly, but inside it was empty.
Where did the three guests go? What are their identities?
...
This is a typical Bai-style courtyard. In the small yard, there’s a stone table and four stone stools.
At this moment, three people suddenly emerged from a corner and turned to walk into the house. The leader was the young girl who had just gone to the hotel.
Knock, knock, knock — three short, one long, two short, three long, and the knocking sound fell and the door was pulled open. A young man in a hip-hop style, wearing a baseball cap, grinned at the three people outside.
"Sister-in-law, even the boss might not recognize you in that getup!" The guy said with a smile.
The leading girl rolled her eyes, took off her shoes, and walked into the house. As she walked, she removed things from her face. A tall man approached, cautiously wiping her face with a damp towel.
Half a minute later, the originally plain-looking girl gradually reverted to her original appearance, with a face as delicate as jade appearing before everyone.
This person was An Yiqing!
Accompanying her were the middle-aged man An Zhifeng, and the middle-aged woman was Zhang Yufeng in disguise.
"Where are the others? Have they arrived?" An Yiqing looked up and asked Gu Yelin.
"Five more have yet to arrive," Gu Yelin replied while aiding her facial wipe.
An Yiqing nodded, recalling the way to the secluded yard just now, marveling in her heart. Who would have thought this inconspicuous little hotel was Hong Ci’s stronghold? Who could have thought that seemingly ordinary couple were members of Hong Ci? Even more unimaginable was that underneath the room’s bed was a hidden passage leading to the center of Baidu. An Yiqing couldn’t fathom how Gu Yelin had orchestrated such an underground tunnel unnoticed.
"Food’s ready in the backyard, you guys can have a bite," Gu Yelin said.
An Yiqing nodded, took An Zhifeng and Zhang Yufeng to the backyard.
At this time, in the backyard, An Zhiyu and a few others had already arrived, eating. Seeing An Yiqing come, they stood up joyously.
"Just sit down, outside everyone can relax," An Yiqing waved, found a spot to sit, picked up a bowl and chopsticks to eat.
Gu Yelin prepared Xuanjin cuisine, those slices of sashimi and sushi were unpalatable to him, to Cao Xiaosha, and even more so to An Yiqing and others.
An hour later, others gradually arrived as well. Xiao Hei brought An Zhiying and An Zhiyun and others, Long Zixuan brought a few others.
Speaking of Xiao Hei, his Xuanwu Power must be mentioned. After nearly being killed by Jiang Xuerou on Flower Island, he was rescued by Long Zixuan and An Yiqing and others working together. Since then, Xiao Hei’s Xuanwu Power had advanced rapidly, exceeding even the level before the Seal was unlocked. Long Zixuan had sparred with him before and found Xiao Hei’s attack wasn’t overly formidable, but his defensive capacity was incredible. Especially his wound healing ability, it was outrageously enviable.
Xuanwu Power, the strongest defense indeed, living up to its name.
"Alright, now that everyone’s here, let’s discuss the next plan."
