Chapter 728 - Chapter 728 Chapter 728 Sheltered by Someone Indeed Very Good

Chapter 728: Chapter 728: Sheltered by Someone, Indeed Very Good Chapter 728: Chapter 728: Sheltered by Someone, Indeed Very Good What the hell?

Where’s the Spirit Testing Stone on the shelf?

The shelf, made from the Divine Tree, was specifically for holding the Spirit Testing Stone, which was almost embedded into the Ancient Vine Divine Wood. And now… the shelf was empty, the Spirit Testing Stone was gone!

Everyone was completely dumbfounded. It had disappeared just in those few moments they had turned their heads?

Was someone stealing? Had they stolen the Spirit Testing Stone?

What the hell, there were so many other things to steal within the Dark Night, who was the idiot that would steal the Spirit Testing Stone in broad daylight? Were they out of their mind?

Everyone was baffled. The current manager walked up with a stern face, his sharp palm suddenly shooting out from his sleeve and fiercely grabbing through the air.

He grasped a trail of powdery substance out of thin air!

Everyone gasped, their gazes uniformly shifting towards Bai Chuwei.

This little girl didn’t just crush the Spirit Testing Stone into powder, did she?

The Spirit Testing Stone was of a special material; not to mention them, even the manager might find it tough to crush.

Apart from the High Council of Five Elders, they couldn’t imagine anyone else capable of doing such a thing!

Bai Chuwei sighed, “I already said not to let me use that little stone.”

? ?

Was that an indirect admission?

Bai Chuwei lightly brushed her hair behind her ear, smiling radiantly at the glamorous girl, “What was it that you just called me? A piece of trash, was it?”

Chang Mei: “…”

Looking at Bai Chuwei’s slender, delicate fingers, it was this very hand that had crushed the Spirit Testing Stone into powder without anyone noticing!

Chang Mei’s complexion completely transformed as a chilling sensation raced from her feet to her forehead, her back drenched in cold sweat. She was so frightened that she quickly turned her head away.

The thought that had it been her head instead… sent a shudder through her, and she couldn’t bear to think further.

Bai Chuwei clicked her tongue internally. Not a single person here could put up a fight.

A glint of amusement passed through Duan Feihan’s eyes as he approached and took out a handkerchief from his pocket. In front of everyone, without any care, he wiped her delicate fingers, his voice deep and rich:

“Don’t dirty your hands.”

After Duan Feihan spoke, he glanced at the manager, then pulled Bai Chuwei away from the seventh basement level.

As they ascended in the elevator, Bai Chuwei was brimming with excitement, “Hanhan, how was that?”

Duan Feihan looked indifferent, “Didn’t you hear for yourself?”

The soundproofing equipment in the Dark Night Organization was useful against most Cultivators, but definitely not against Bai Chuwei; she surely heard everything.

Bai Chuwei’s eyes curved, her hand resting on her chin, “I did hear indeed. Dark Night is actually something your mother established after she escaped from the Demon Domain. Although your mother wished not to step into the Cultivation World and wanted to be just a dominant figure in the mundane world, she still left you a way out.”

Bai Chuwei suddenly thought back to more than five thousand years ago, when the divine war abruptly erupted, and her irrational sworn brother forcibly sent her to the sanctuary in Qingque, also leaving her a way out.

Having someone to protect you indeed felt good.

A pity that there would be no one in the future; only the old ancestor was left to protect the younger ones. Even if it was her partner, it was destined for her to protect him.

Bai Chuwei’s lips curled into a smile, her hand resting on the man’s broad shoulder, her fingers gently drawing circles, dragging out her words, “Hanhan, in the Cultivation World, they talk about karma. Now that I protect you like this, what will you use to protect me in return?”

The old ancestor had lived for more than five thousand years; even if Duan Feihan turned into a cunning man, he couldn’t catch up to her–not that she expected it.

It’s alright if you can’t repay, you can use other methods.

We’re all adults here; there are many ways, we all understand, right?

Duan Feihan’s expression darkened slightly, and he suddenly asked in a low voice, “How do you know that the protection you’re giving me now, isn’t repaying the protection I gave you before?”

Bai Chuwei stiffened upon hearing that.

What?

As she was caught off-guard, her phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated.

The seventh basement level where the Dark Night Organization was located had no signal.

It was only after leaving that she saw over a dozen missed calls and WeChat messages.

Bai Chuwei quickly glanced through the WeChat messages–most were sent by Bai Shang, along with several long voice notes.

[Bai Shang: Weiwei, are you alright? Send me a message back if you’re fine! Someone saw you get into a car accident, ran to our house demanding that the Bai Family release the unpublished sequel content of “Records of the Mountain Moon” by Mr. Bai, insisting on buying it forcefully!]
