Chapter 881: Xu Bai Begins His Performance (3)
According to what Gao Guan said, there was a saint level treasure here that could detect him.
After all, his true strength had not reached the Saint Realm. However, what Gao Guan meant was that he knew about this as well.
To make a very simple analogy, the City Lord knew what he had done, but it was very likely that he did not tell anyone else. This was because whether it was those guards or that middle-aged man with a mustache, they did not know his situation.
Only Gao Guan knew, and he even called him here to drink tea. Then what was Gao Guan’s intention? Or what was his identity?
Gao Guan turned his head and said solemnly,”I am one of the City Lord’s male companions.””
“Puff!”
Xu Bai couldn’t help but spit out the tea he had just drunk.
“I owe you this drink, so don’t waste it.”Gao Guan looked at the tea on the ground and said with a pained expression.
Xu Bai coughed hard and interrupted,””Let’s not talk about the tea first. What did you just say? The City Lord is a woman?”
The so-called gigolo, to put it bluntly, meant male pet and male concubine.
If that was the case, Gao Guan could be considered the person who slept beside the City Lord. It was normal for him to know this news.
But the problem was, why would such a male escort be assigned to the combat category?
With this identity, he would have long been assigned to other categories that were not dangerous. It was impossible for him to take this risk.
Gao Guan seemed to have read Xu Bai’s mind and said,””There will always be times when I’m not favored. I did something wrong, so I was punished to this category.”
“In our line of work, the most unbearable thing is that the corpses are not buried. Therefore, I buried those who died in battle. Because of the burial, these corpses could not be planted with herbs, so it became this field today.”
Xu Bai was speechless.
Good heavens, this was an occupational disease, right?
Gao Guan continued,” I’ve been stuck in this realm for a long time. After knowing that you know how to control corpses, I felt that this was an opportunity for the two of us to communicate. To be honest, I didn’t know when I led you there. It was only after you entered that house that the City Lord suddenly told me.”
“Right, you definitely won’t be able to sense her appearance because she has a saint level treasure with her soul, so she’s not afraid of being detected by her soul.”
Xu Bai rubbed his chin. He didn’t answer Gao Guan’s question about the corpse control technique. Instead, he was thinking about what Gao Guan had just said.
A saint level treasure for the soul. It didn’t sound like the one-time saint level treasure that Director Mu had given him before. This thing should be quite powerful.
Even now, the City Lord probably knew that he was communicating with Gao Guan here.
But the question was, why didn’t the City Lord come to see him?
Logically speaking, after doing such a big thing, there should be some movement, but he did not feel the slightest change.
“It’s strange, isn’t it? I’m also very strange, but she just won’t come looking for you.”Gao Guan shrugged his shoulders and said,”Why don’t we talk about corpse control?””
“Not interested.” Xu Bai shook his head.
How could he still have any other interest after this incident?
Xu Bai was now in the ruins, and everything here was not safe.
Although they hadn’t met any Saint Realm masters yet, the city lord of this branch had a Saint Realm treasure.
At present, he only knew that it was related to the divine soul, but he did not know anything else.
For example, the level of this treasure.
If it was only a first grade Saint Warrior, then it would be fine, but what if it was even higher?
The most important thing was that the City Lord did not seem to be looking for him. How should he deal with it now?
The more Xu Bai thought about it, the deeper he went. Without any clues, it was useless no matter how much he thought about it.
“I want to see the City Lord.”
After thinking for a long time, he finally raised his head.
Gao Guan was stunned, not understanding what this meant.
“The City Lord already has a lot of gigolos. Don’t tell me you’re thinking…”
“I just want to see him.” Xu Bai said.
He suddenly thought of something. The City Lord telling Gao Guan about his situation was definitely not unintentional. He must have done it on purpose. Gao Guan approaching him was probably the City Lord’s doing.
Since that was the case, he might as well meet them and see what the situation was.
After all, if he didn’t make a move immediately, there would be other things.
“You really want to see him?” Gao Guan frowned.”
Xu Bai nodded to confirm.
Gao Guan looked at Xu Bai with a complicated expression. After a while, he turned around and said,””Follow me.”
Xu Bai didn’t waste any time and followed behind Gao Guan.
The two of them quickly returned to the building from before. This time, with Gao Guan leading the way, they arrived at the backyard of the building without any effort.
“Wait here for a while. I’ll go knock on the door.”Gao Guan said.
As he spoke, he came to the door and knocked lightly.
A moment later, a gentle female voice came from inside.
“Bring him in.”
It seemed that he already knew Xu Bai was coming, which was normal. After all, he had a saint level treasure in his hands.
The door was pushed open by Gao Guan. Gao Guan stretched out his hand and gestured for Xu Bai to enter.
Xu Bai nodded and walked in. At this moment, Gao Guan closed the door from the outside.
The room was not dark because it was daytime. When Xu Bai walked in, he saw a woman.
The woman was wearing a light muslin. She was not wearing any clothes underneath. She could vaguely see some things that she should not be seeing.
