Chapter 86: Incident in Yancheng (6)
Gong Lin turned on a beam of light, and the expressions of the group eased a little after they saw that the two brothers sitting on the ground were injured.
The young man immediately pointed at his brother and Huasi and said, "I am Baifeng, this is my brother Baihuo and my teammate... Xiaoshu, we also encountered a source beast we have never seen before, and we ran here in a panic. I didn't mean to listen to you."
Bai Feng's proactive explanation and introduction made Fu Chenyue and his group let down their guard.
"So it's the famous Bai family Fenghuo. What does the source beast you met look like?" Gong Lin asked.
"In front of the Starry Team, our reputation is nothing." After the necessary business exaggeration, Bai Feng talked about the source beasts they had seen: "White hair, walking upright, with sharp claws, each nearly 5 meters tall, all above level B. It was because of them that only three of us were left."
"Captain, it's the same as what we encountered." A teammate of Gong Lin said.
Fu Chenyue frowned slightly and his eyes fell on Hua Si.
"Is she also a member of your team?"
The moment that condescending gaze fell on her, Hua felt that something was wrong.
He secretly sighed that Fu Chenyue's eyes were a little too vicious.
As a result, Fu Chenyue continued, "I heard that the Bai family is very powerful and only cares about the lives of their brothers. They don't even care about the main family's direct descendants. When will they take other people with them when they are desperate?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Hua Si.
Because she was wearing a mask and sitting in a corner, no one could see her face clearly.
However, it can still be judged that she is a young girl.
Seeing that everyone's attention was turned to Hua Si, the eldest brother Bai Huo showed an obscene smile, but his tone was a little impolite:
"Why can the eldest son of the Fu family take the little beauty with him when he escapes, but we two brothers can't be gentle with women?"
The moment his brother finished speaking, Bai Feng moved sideways to block half of Hua Si's body and was ready to attack at any time.
They didn't think that Fu Chenyue just mentioned Hua Si casually.
In the dark and narrow tunnel, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Fu Chenyue's teammate, who is also a fire element evolver, immediately refuted:
"Zitian, you are our teammate who fights side by side with us, not a dodder that needs to rely on us!"
Bai Huo laughed after hearing this.
"Little brother, I'm just joking. You don't have to take it so seriously. Among the first group of people who come in, who will depend on whom to live?" Bai Huo bared his white teeth and smiled even more obscenely: "But I can see that you are a true flower protector, brother!"
"Liao Chen!" Gong Lin called out to the team member who was about to say something.
Liao Chen's lips finally tightened into a line.
The two sides confronted each other in silence.
Fu Chenyue looked deeply in the direction of Huasi, rubbed his frowning brows, and said, "Sorry to bother you three, let's go."
The two brothers breathed a sigh of relief only when the footsteps faded away.
"I thought we were really going to fight them! Brother, do you think they figured out something?"
"I don't know either." Bai Feng turned around and asked Hua Si, "Master Shu Ling, can they see through your true form?"
Hua Si glanced at him faintly.
Said nothing.
Her real body is right here, and there's no way she can change to a different species.
But in the eyes of the two brothers Bai Huo and Bai Feng, Hua was just arrogant and disdainful of paying attention to ordinary humans like them.
Bai Feng also felt that he had asked a stupid question.
The extraordinary holy object is a super S-level existence. How can such an existence disguised as a human being be seen through so easily?
At least if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would definitely think Hua Si was an ordinary human being.
As a result, the two brothers were even more confused.
Why did Fu Chenyue suddenly bring up such a flowery topic?
"Brother, don't think about it. Those children from aristocratic families are always worried. You should break through to B level as soon as possible. Except for that little girl, the others in their team are either A level or B level. If we really fight, I can only protect myself. If I hadn't seen that they wanted to go there, I really wouldn't dare to deliberately provoke them to divert their attention."
Bai Feng nodded.
He took out a bunch of wind element source crystals from his backpack and began to absorb them.
……
...Fu Chenyue and his group stopped to rest in the spacious area at the intersection of the tunnel.
The Healing Evolver began to treat the wounded in the team.
"Chenyue, what happened to you just now? You never meddle in other people's business." Gong Lin, who had just healed his wound, walked to Fu Chenyue.
In the peaceful battlefield, the two brothers Fenghuo of the Bai family fight for resources and rankings. In times of crisis, they abandon their teammates and drag others to take the blame. These are all basic operations.
Fu Chenyue had never said anything about this before.
Why am I curious about them today?
Fu Chenyue pondered for a moment and said, "I got a piece of news. The Bai family deliberately made Bai Yuchuan's crime public in order to find something in Yancheng Prison."
Fu Chenyue just started the conversation, and Gong Lin understood what his friend meant.
"You mean that now all the evolver prisoners are locked up, so those two brothers are the Bai family's backup. Are they here for that thing?"
Without the need for Fu Chenyue to respond, Gong Lin recalled the performance of both parties just now and immediately found the problem———
For example, the backpacks they leaned against the corner were very bulging and heavy.
For example, although these two brothers are unruly, they are not the kind of people who would take the initiative to provoke them.
"And they seemed a little nervous just now, especially when you directed the topic to the girl in the corner. Could it be that what the Bai family is looking for is related to that girl?"
Fu Chenyue shook her head. "I don't know. The Bai family is quite ambitious and has set their sights on the position of the next Speaker of the Sixteen States. All their energy should be focused on winning votes and seats in the parliament. That thing may be related to this."
Gong Lin's eyes suddenly widened. "Could it be that the Bai family has set their sights on what the first generation said?"
Before the new era, there has been a rumor that there is a book in the world that stores everything about this planet.
Before the Evolvers appeared, everyone just thought it was a rumor.
It was not until the first speaker, Xu Hong, publicly stated that the library had always held it.
Not only did the Library, an organization composed mainly of ordinary people, not decline in a world full of extraordinary powers, but it became even more prestigious.
The things copied from that book not only attracted a group of historians and researchers, but also created a large number of masters in various fields.
It can be said that they represent the power of the elite class.
There is not even a distinction between ordinary people and evolvers.
It has a considerable influence on the Sixteen States.
If the Bai family really got the legendary book, it would be a fatal blow to the library as an organization.
But for the Bai family, it is like owning another library.
This is not a good thing for either the Fu family or the Gong family.
Thinking of this, Gong Lin was puzzled: "Chen Yue, since you have such doubts, why don't you find out?"
"That thing is not that easy to get." Fu Chenyue sneered: "The Supervisory Committee has already targeted Bai Yuchuan and the Bai family, and I suspect that the library does not really own the book."
Gong Lin didn't ask where Fu Chenyue's suspicion came from.
Over the years, they have inquired about the news about the book.
After all, it is a legendary holy object.
Judging from the known information, the library and the book probably only have a coexistence or cooperative relationship.
Perhaps, this is also the reason why the Bai family is not afraid of offending Xu Hong and the library and dares to take the book.
"So you just want to test them? But judging by the nervous expressions of the two brothers, they don't look like they have nothing to gain, especially with their two full bags."
Gong Lin still felt that there was something wrong with the two brothers.
Fu Chenyue said calmly: "It should be the source crystal. Although it is wrapped with an absolute energy material, there is still some energy leakage."
"What! How many source crystals does that require? Where did they get them from?" Gong Lin couldn't believe it.
"That's why I couldn't help but probe, but they obviously didn't want us to know."
"You should have said it earlier! Those two brothers are not easy to deal with, but there is also a girl! I am a famous friend of women, and I am sure I can get something out of her. But now, I can't even see her face clearly."
Fu Chenyue glanced at Gong Lin calmly, "Our purpose this time is not to get the source crystal, but to go to the other side of the time and space seal."
In an instant, Gong Lin was speechless.
I completely accepted Fu Chenyue's words.
