Chapter 647: Chapter 647: The Conspiracy Comes
As soon as Jiang Xiaobai spoke, everyone understood his intentions.
Everyone remained silent.
While Jian Shisan was somewhat slow-witted, he knew that Jiang Xiaobai had his own plans and steadfastly sided with him.
However, those on Ning Luo’s side all frowned deeply, as Jiang Xiaobai’s words seemed somewhat shameful?
Ning Luo was helping Huo Shuyu, what does it have to do with you, pretty boy?
Ning Luo suppressed his murderous intent towards Jiang Xiaobai in his heart, but his face still maintained a graceful demeanor.
“Keep moving forward.”
Ning Luo smiled lightly and led the team deeper into the dense forest.
On the way, Jiang Xiaobai and the others were sandwiched in the middle by Ning Luo’s team. It seemed unintentional, but it made Jiang Xiaobai and the others more certain that there were problems at play.
He glanced at Huo Shuyu, and coincidentally, she was looking at him too.
The two made eye contact, and they smiled without saying a word.
On this journey, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t care at all about what Ning Luo and the others were thinking, he did as he pleased, showing once again the characteristics of his ‘skin-peeling’ nature.
Everywhere he passed, even dogs would be moved to tears.
He left nothing behind!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The most striking instance was when, hundreds of meters to the side of their path, there was a small spiritual grass, the cheapest kind.
Under normal circumstances, even if not in a secret realm, anyone who saw this would not give it a second glance.
But Jiang Xiaobai rushed over to it, treating the spiritual grass as a priceless treasure and putting it in his bag.
Everyone was speechless.
Ning Luo’s people all watched Jiang Xiaobai with mocking eyes.
“Ha ha ha ha, this lad has lost his mind due to poverty, hasn’t he?”
“He is even picking up this kind of spiritual grass, isn’t he too desperate?”
“Can’t help it, he is just a pretty boy, with no abilities, so he can only do this.”
Mocking remarks from the crowd kept coming, but Jiang Xiaobai acted as if he didn’t hear them.
Huo Shuyu could hardly stand it.
Finally, she went to Jiang Xiaobai’s side, grabbed his wrist, and questioned him.
“Jiang Bai, just how broke are you?”
“Is it necessary to be like this? I feel embarrassed even if you don’t!”
Huo Shuyu was practically gritting her teeth as she spoke.
Jiang Xiaobai didn’t speak, but instead looked at Jian Shisan and the others.
Seeing his gaze, Jian Shisan quickly lowered his head with his hands in his pockets and kicked at the stones on the ground with his toes.
Sun Gagniang scratched her head, looking very uncomfortable, while avoiding Jiang Xiaobai’s gaze.
Other than them, only Jianqi awkwardly met Jiang Xiaobai’s gaze.
Those around them, who were from Ning Luo’s side, were all looking at them with contempt.
“Look at this, who can stand your behavior?”
“Your storage ring is almost full, isn’t it?”
Huo Shuyu gritted her teeth, wanting to pinch Jiang Xiaobai’s waist in anger.
“Don’t worry about these details, instead, you should use this energy to imagine how to deal with Ning Luo.”
“I no longer want to play this act.”
Honestly, Jiang Xiaobai was indeed tired, but not because he was tired of the act.
Along the way, he had discovered three hidden spirit stone veins buried deep underground! But he couldn’t go to absorb them!
The most painful thing in the world is when there’s money right under your feet, and you can’t pick it up.
Jiang Xiaobai was being driven mad!
These spirit stones were the key to his power elevation, no amount was too much, absolutely not!
But Ning Luo was there.
Originally Jiang Xiaobai wanted to continue the act, but now he didn’t feel like playing anymore, he just wanted to go underground and claim those three veins as soon as possible.
It was pure agony!
“What are you going to do?” Huo Shuyu raised her eyebrows:” Kill and silence them? This is the secret realm of the Great Goose Dynasty, if you kill him, there will be countless experts chasing after you for revenge, do you think that’s fun?”
“So let’s not play anymore, just find an opportunity to expose everything.”
“Then there will be a justified reason.”
Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly said.
Just then, the sky became gradually darker, and although Huo Shuyu didn’t know why Jiang Xiaobai was in such a hurry, she still called to Ning Luo.
“Brother Three, how about we take a rest now?”
Ning Luo, who was walking ahead, was taken aback when he heard this.
He had been wanting to rest for a while.
After all, how could he get his way without resting?
He was just looking for a good time, but he didn’t expect Huo Shuyu to suggest it proactively. This is definitely good news!
Ning Luo immediately called for everyone to rest and had someone prepare the meat and wine that had been ready for a while, preparing to start grilling.
When Jiang Xiaobai heard that they were going to grill, he got interested right away.
“Come here, I will grill, Lord Ning Luo, you don’t know how high my grilling skills are.”
Jiang Xiaobai laughed heartily and immediately took on the role of the chef.
Ning Luo’s people on the side were all laughing with ridicule.
This fool!
Ning Luo was more than happy to have Jiang Xiaobai grill, even if he were discovered, there would be no problem, and he could even frame Jiang Xiaobai.
The grilling was done quickly, and, to be honest, it smelled quite good.
Everyone began to feast, and Ning Luo, holding a piece of grilled meat, sat next to Huo Shuyu and handed it to her.
The two chatted leisurely. It looked as if a brother was taking care of his sister, but there was a sly light flashing in Ning Luo’s eyes constantly.
Not long after, there was a thud.
The young girl Jianqi was the first to fall asleep heavily, followed by Jian Shisan, Sun Gagniang, and then Jiang Xiaobai all lay down sleeping.
However, none of Ning Luo’s group of experts had any problems.
Huo Shuyu also felt dizzy, and immediately wanted to mobilize her spiritual power, but she found that the spiritual power in her body was extremely sticky and couldn’t be mobilized at all.
Suddenly, she looked at Ning Luo in panic.
“What… what have you done?”
At this moment, Ning Luo had completely shed his disguise. With a face full of malicious laughter, he rubbed his hands and looked at Huo Shuyu.
“Hehe, Shuyu, I’ve told you before, you have a simple mind, and you should be more wary of outsiders.”
“But you never listen.”
“Your so-called friend Jiang Bai, has been bought by me. He slipped something into the grilled meat you ate.”
“Tsk tsk, now you can’t even kill an ant, what can you do?”
As Ning Luo’s words fell, the surrounding area filled with sly laughter from the skilled men. Then, the laughter gradually faded away, leaving only Ning Luo and Huo Shuyu in the open area.
Huo Shuyu, both hands braced on the ground, trying to struggle and move.
But the potency of the drug was gradually taking effect and she felt her body overheating!
“Haha, Huo Shuyu, so what if you’re a disciple of the Heavenly King Hall?”
“In another five minutes, you will be grovelling before me like a dog. You’ll beg me to finish you off.”
Ning Luo laughed madly.
He had been waiting for this day for a long time, and now he finally had the chance to get Huo Shuyu!
By using some other means, and presenting Huo Shuyu with a fait accompli, he didn’t believe Huo Shuyu wouldn’t compromise.
By then, the throne could only be his!
