256 Spirit Sword Sect
Chu Bai went to the stable owner.
The autograph he had given him was still there.
He spent a few gold coins to buy a palanquin from the owner of the stable. At the same time, he placed the Thousand-Li Horse together with the palanquin.
Chu Bai would usually keep this horse at the stable owner’s place when he returned. It was very convenient, and he could come and take it away when he needed it.
After he was done, Chu Bai returned to the Five Moons Chamber of Commerce.
Lan Xingxing was waiting at the door. Lu Yufan and Long Mengyi were accompanying her, and Lil Cutie had already gone offline to rest.
“The carriage is ready. We can set off now.”
Chu Bai said to Lan Xingxing.
“Alright!”
Lan Xingxing nodded vigorously, then she waved her hand at Lu Yufan and Long Mengyi.
“I’ll go back first. I’ll definitely come to see you when I have time.”
“Okay, okay. See you next time.”
“Yes, yes.”
Then, Chu Bai left with Lan Xingxing.
The carriage sped toward Xuantian City.
Actually, it was not very fast.
Chu Bai was driving the carriage, and Lan Xingxing was sitting quietly in the carriage.
…
Half a day passed just like that.
Chu Bai had already arrived at a spot quite far away.
They had arrived at a stretch of plains.
Chu Bai stopped the carriage.
“Let’s rest for a while and let the horse eat something.”
Horses were equivalent to the players’ mounts.
Mounts also had favorability and hunger. If their hunger was too low, it would affect their speed and they might even starve to death.
If the favorability was too low, the horses would run away by themselves.
Chu Bai also took out his rations to feed the Thousand-Li Horse.
Lan Xingxing walked down from the carriage.
“Thank you for your hard work, Young Master Bai Ye.”
She bowed slightly at Chu Bai and said softly.
Lan Xingxing was indeed a super beautiful girl. Moreover, whether it was her expression or her voice, there was a sense of tenderness that made people love her.
It made people want to bully her.
Chu Bai could not even go offline for this mission. He had to spend an entire day escorting her there.
Although it was just a simple escort, it was more time-consuming than completing a large number of monster-grinding missions. Moreover, he did not gain any experience.
Therefore, if the reward for this mission was not high, Chu Bai would really curse.
Chu Bai shook his head, then called Little Demon and Lil Xue’er out and took out some delicious food.
“Thank you, Daddy.”
Little Demon happily kissed Chu Bai’s cheek.
When Lil Xue’er saw this, she also kissed Chu Bai, unwilling to be outdone.
Lan Xingxing looked at them.
They were both so cute.
Lan Xingxing looked around and asked, “Young Master Bai Ye, where are we?”
Chu Bai glanced at the map and said, “This should be the Luofeng Plains.”
The plains were indeed quite empty. There were some monsters around, and there were even some players farming monsters nearby.
As Chu Bai had a horse carriage, it attracted the attention of some players. They were slowly approaching.
After all, in the eyes of the players, it was indeed a little strange for a carriage to appear at a farming point.
That should be an NPC, right? Will she trigger a hidden mission?
Everyone was curious. If Chu Bai had encountered such a situation, he might have come over to take a look too.
“F*ck! It’s God Bai Ye!”
“Damn! Why is God Bai Ye here?”
“Could it be that God Bai Ye has triggered a mission? Wow! I also saw God Bai Ye.”
“What a beautiful girl! It’s actually an NPC! She’s ranked tenth on the NPC beauty ranking.”
“F*ck! What the f*ck?”
…
Everyone exclaimed.
Chu Bai was also surprised when he heard the discussions of the surrounding players.
Lan Xingxing was actually the tenth most beautiful woman on the NPC beauty ranking?
He did not even notice.
It was obvious that the other members of his team did not care too much. After all, they were more concerned about the player beauty ranking.
Thinking about it carefully, the appearance of Lan Xingxing was indeed worthy to get her a place on the beauty ranking.
Fortunately, she had not been tainted by those bandits. Otherwise, it would be a pity.
“Young Hero Bai Ye, these people seem to be talking about you.”
Lan Xingxing said timidly.
“It’s fine. Do you want to eat something?”
Chu Bai handed her a meat bun.
“Thank you.”
Lan Xingxing reached out and took it.
Then, she looked around with a worried expression.
“What’s wrong?”
Chu Bai asked.
“This place is not very far from Xuantian City. Perhaps… it’s quite dangerous.”
“Dangerous?”
Chu Bai was stunned.
Was he not just escorting her? What danger was there?
She had gone to the wrong place when she was captured by the bandits.
Lan Xingxing bit her lip.
“Outside… There might be people looking for me.”
“Your family.”
Chu Bai said.
“No,” Lan Xingxing shook his head. “There are still people chasing after me.”
“Uh…”
Chu Bai suddenly realized that this mission might not be as simple as he had imagined!
She was a beauty ranked in the top ten of the continent. She was 16 or 17 years old with the strength of a level 40 celestial boss. She was destined to be extraordinary!
How could it be as simple as sending her there?
Chu Bai looked around and asked, “Who?”
“There are quite a few parties. One of them is the Spirit Sword Sect. ”
“Spirit Sword Sect? A sect?”
“Yes!”
Lan Xingxing nodded.
“The Spirit Sword Sect is one of the more powerful sects in the Kamikaze Empire. They have a feud with my family, and I’ve always been their target.”
Killing her was definitely not just because of a feud.
Chu Bai pondered in his heart.
Lan Xingxing continued, “This time, I came out with the experts of my family because of something. However, the people of the Spirit Sword Sect discovered us and found us a few days ago. They didn’t hesitate to send a large number of experts. In the end, the experts of my family were detained by them to protect me. I also lost the thing that I can use to contact my family. I had no choice but to find a mercenary group. I wanted to use the cover of the mercenary group to quietly return with the mercenary group. I didn’t expect to encounter bandits.”
This girl’s luck was quite bad.
Then, she looked at Chu Bai. “I don’t want to hide it from you, Young Master Bai Ye. I feel that since you’re the Chosen One, you’d definitely be able to escort me back safely.”
“This trip is extremely dangerous. When the time comes, the reward you give me can’t be lacking.”
Chu Bai rubbed his chin and said.
“Don’t worry, Young Master Bai Ye!”
“That’s good.”
Anyway, as long as there was a reward, everything was negotiable.
As for the people chasing after her, they might not even be able to meet them.
“Then you should get into the carriage. I won’t dawdle any longer. Get ready to set off.”
“Alright.”
Lan Xingxing then got into the carriage.
“Move aside! Move aside.”
At this moment, a few people hurried over from not far away. An old man led the way. There were a total of three people.
This place was very big, and there were many players, both male and female!
Chu Bai did not know why they came here. After coming to this area, they began to search. They paid attention to everyone around them.
