“It’s a pleasure to meet you, my fellow Taoist.”
Sui Mei Xia finally broke the silence after a while. She stepped forward and made a greeting gesture to Bai Chen.
Seeing that, Xu Jue Ing quickly did the same. Even though she did not know who Bai Chen was or where he’d come from, she could at least guess how powerful he was.
He was definitely the time master that she sensed 2 to 3 years ago.
This was the first time that she’d met Bai Chen. Moreover, Men Kun Song and Gu Diao Foo had decided to join forces to fight him.
From these reasons, it was not that difficult for Xu Jue Ing to realise that Bai Chen was the time master whom she’d sensed 2 to 3 years ago.
Seeing that they did not come here to harm him, Bai Chen’s face turned a little friendlier, and he greeted them back. “The pleasure is mine.”
“May I know what grudge you had against Gu Diao Foo and Men Kun Song? Why did you fight until you killed them?”
Sui Mei Xia could not hold back her overwhelming curiosity. She quickly asked this.
Xu Jue Ing’s face slightly changed colour. She did not expect Sui Mei Xia to ask him so directly like this. She could not help but feel the chill running down her spine. If Bai Chen was not pleased by it, she and Sui Mei Xia would not be able to deal with him.
Even though she knew that Bai Chen right now was not in a good shape to fight the two of them at the same time, she did not want to take a risk since he was still a time master.
Time masters were very difficult to comprehend. How could she be brave enough to risk fighting with Bai Chen?
“This matter doesn’t concern you.” Bai Chen did not want to explain it to Sui Mei Xia. They did not know each other that well anyway.
Hearing that, Sui Mei Xia shook her head. She regretted not knowing it. Xu Jue Ing sighed with relief that Bai Chen was not displeased at the question.
Suddenly, she realised that Bai Chen had called them by their names when he’d told them to reveal themselves.
She was now curious how Bai Chen knew them, even though they rarely appeared anywhere.
“How do you know us? Have we met before? How did you know it was us when we were in hiding?” Xu Jue Ing asked softly.
It was obvious that she didn’t quite dare to ask him.
Bai Chen turned to look at Xu Jue Ing. “Everyone in Ping Zhou territory knows that there are 4 secondary salvation cultivators here. If Gu Diao Foo and Men Kun Song were fighting with me, you two would be none other than the other two.”
“I see.” Xu Jue Ing nodded.
Bai Chen did not want to waste his time here. He needed to find a place to recover his power and head to the Glorious Water sect after that.
With these thoughts, however, Bai Chen suddenly halted and turned to Sui Mei Xia. He had a new idea.
He was going to go to the Glorious Water sect to see Zhien Wu Shuang and borrow Sui Lien Er’s qi ferry. However, he’d changed his mind now. He would ask Sui Mei Xia for the qi ferry instead.
He believed that Sui Mei Xia would have already been told about him being a time master by Sui Lien Er, as well as his relationship with Zhien Wu Shuang.
Maybe Sui Mei Xia would be kind to let him borrow the qi ferry. He asked without hesitation.
“My fellow Taoist Sui Mei Xia, I believe you’ve heard about me already.”
“.....” Sui Mei Xia was speechless for a short while. She dug into her memory. Then, her body shook violently. Her eyes widened. “A… Are you that fellow Taoist Bai Chen?!?”
“Yes, I’m Bai Chen. I came here with Sui Lien Er.” Bai Chen answered.
“T… This is…!” Sui Mei Xia’s body trembled even more. She had heard from Sui Lien Er that Bai Chen was a time master, but he was only a tertiary sky soaring cultivator, not a primary salvation one like now.
Within only 2 to 3 years, Bai Chen had soared from that level to this level?
This was impossible for her. It was only normal for her to be quite surprised.
“My fellow Taoist Sui, what happened?” Seeing that, Xu Jue Ing could not help but ask.
She knew that what had happened was not anything ordinary for sure.
Sui Mei Xia did not answer. She breathed in deeply to suppress her surprise. She turned to look at Bai Chen anxiously. His ability was that of a god!
The four monsters of Ping Zhou territory could not be compared to him at all. She truly believed that Bai Chen would become a great figure in no time. He would definitely head to Xuan Zhou territory next and that would make him even more powerful!
“I…I did not expect you to be him. That means we’re affiliated. Wu Shuang is at the sect, and she’s well taken care of. She’s been getting stronger for the past 2 to 3 years.”
After suppressing her emotions, Sui Mei Xia spoke. Her voice was still trembling quite a bit.
“What?!?”Xu Jue Ing was so surprised that she exclaimed loudly. She did not expect that Sui Mei Xia would know Bai Chen.
However, she knew that they were not that close. They likely knew each other through someone. Judging from their conversation just now, it was quite obvious.
“Thank you for taking care of Wu Shuang.” Bai Chen’s face seemed to be friendlier. His voice was also more familiar now.
His eyes showed appreciation towards Sui Mei Xia. He did not pay attention to Xu Jue Ing’s alarmed facial expression.
