Chapter 149: Another Assassination Attempt

“Ptui, they’re a big aristocratic family in the capital and yet they always suspect that other people are thieves without evidence. I don’t know what these people have to be so arrogant about.”

Chen Yan and the others spoke indignantly, “They even agreed to apologize, but in the end, they went back on their words. With such narrow mind, I don’t know where their shamelessness came from.”

Lin Bai’s expression was a little unnatural when he heard the people beside him discussing the Shao family’s disciples. In fact, the Shao family and the others were not wrong. The thief who stole the things was indeed related to him.

Initially, Lin Bai wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Shao family and the others did not notice and ask Little Treasures to send the things back. Now, it seemed that it was not possible.

“Oh right, senior brother Lin, you haven’t recovered completely and yet you came out. Are you okay.”

“That’s right. I think the people from the Shao family have gone too far. They said that it was mainly healing medicine they lost and because of this, they suspected us. Even martial brother Lin was startled.

Lin Bai expressed his gratitude in the face of everyone’s concern. “Thank you for your concern. I’m almost recovered.”

When everyone heard what he said, they realized that Lin Bai’s complexion was much better than before. They were immediately surprised and said, “Senior brother Lin, I see that you look pretty good. It seems that you’ve been recuperating well recently.”

With regards to Lin Bai’s recovery speed, it could be said to be godly. If this continued, it would not be long before he would recover to what he was before.

However, everyone had witnessed how serious Lin Bai’s injuries were back then. Now that they saw it, they could not help but click their tongues in wonder.

Regarding this, Lin Bai had long thought of an explanation. “This is all thanks to the medicinal pills that Bai He gave me. It was very useful to my injuries.”

Only then did everyone understand. Bai He was, after all, the principal disciple of the head of the four great academies. He must have given quite a few good things in private. It was no wonder that he had such good medicinal pills.

Bai He felt a little strange. Although his medicinal pills were indeed rare and were beneficial to the recovery of his injuries, they were after all not some miraculous medicinal pills. Yet, Lin Bai had already made such a great recovery in such a short amount of time.

However, although he was puzzled, he did not say anything in the end. It was possible that Lin Bai himself had taken other powerful healing pills, which was why he had recovered so quickly.

“Senior brother Lin, we originally thought that you would not be able to make it in time. With this recovery speed, you might even be able to participate in the competition here.”

“That’s right. Senior Brother Lin, you must recover as soon as possible. This is a little token of my appreciation. Although it is definitely not as valuable as senior brother Bai’s medicinal pills, I hope that it will still be useful to you.”

Lin Bai had gone out for a trip and returned with quite a lot of good things. In the face of the enthusiasm of so many people, he felt a little embarrassed. However, those people insisted on giving it to him. If he refused, he would appear a little cold.

“In that case, I will thank everyone here now. When my injuries are fully recovered in the future, I will definitely refine pills for everyone in appreciation.”

Although Lin Bai said so, his injuries were more or less healed. He planned to go out for a walk and pick some herbs to come back and prepare to refine pills.

Everyone did not stop him. After all, Lin Bai had been recuperating in his room ever since he came back. It was not good to keep him locked up for too long. He wanted to go out for a walk. However, they were a little worried that he would be alone and injured. It might not be safe to go out.

“Senior brother Lin, you haven’t recovered yet. Why don’t we accompany you?”

Lin Bai shook his head and declined. “All of you still have your own matters to attend to. You still have to cultivate. How can I waste your time? Moreover, I’m injured, not crippled. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of myself.”

Seeing that he was determined to do so, the crowd did not say anything else. They only repeatedly reminded him to be careful. When Lin Bai left the house, he was still seen by a few Shao family disciples.

“It’s really strange. When he was sent here, he looked like he was about to die. How long has it been since then and he is able to get out of bed and walk?”

They were whispering to each other. Fortunately, Lin Bai had used some tricks, which made his face look even paler. Otherwise, they would be even more shocked.

However, as soon as he left the house, a black shadow headed toward the he family.

“What did you say? Lin Bai left the house?”

He Linsheng stood up excitedly from his chair. “Alright, I let you escape by luck last time. This time, you’re injured and you still dare to swagger around outside. I don’t believe that you will have such good luck this time.”

His gaze landed on He Qicheng who was beside him. “Father.”

He Qicheng nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ve already arranged everything. This time, I definitely won’t let this kid escape easily.”

Lin Bai walked around the city, but he didn’t find anything good on the stalls nearby. Although he wanted to go to the auction house to take a look, he didn’t have that much money. He planned to come and look around after refining pills.

When he arrived outside the city, he saw that the surroundings were covered in green grass and tall trees that covered the sky. There were very few people, so he stopped and suddenly said,

“You guys have followed me all the way from the city until now. It’s about time for you to show yourself and let me see your true colours.”

There was no one behind him. It was as if Lin Bai was talking to the air.

Seeing that they still wanted to hide and refused to show themselves, Lin Bai smiled. A stream of spiritual power landed in the northeast direction, and a distorted fluctuation was transmitted in the air, revealing a few figures.

They were dressed in long black robes that covered their entire bodies like black bats. The leader of the group spoke in slight surprise, as if he could not believe that Lin Bai had such keen senses even though he was injured.

“How did you discover us?”

Lin Bai said indifferently, “Just like this.”

He sized up the attire of these people and felt that they looked somewhat familiar. He felt as if he had seen them somewhere before.
