Chapter 216: A peek from the dark! It doesn't matter whether you are ugly or not.

Chapter 216 A peek from the dark! Being ugly does not affect its practicality!

 “Ahem.”

Hearing this, the old man also had a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face.

He stroked his messy beard unnaturally: "This is not... this is not..."

No matter what, the first people to be suspicious must be outsiders!

Who would want to doubt one of his own?

ˆ Qiao Bai: “It’s understandable.”

 After listening to Qiao Bai's words, the old man showed a relieved smile.

Qiao Bai continued: "It's been a while since Wanmu City was closed down, so have you found anything out of the investigation?"

“Or are you just going to keep people locked up like this?”

 The old man and Qiao Bai looked at each other.

　　　The person who comes is so evil that there is nothing wrong with him.

 But nothing was found.

  Qiao Bai met Zhou Xinran and others smoothly.

 Wanmu City still retains ethnic culture to a certain extent.

 Including why they were temporarily detained.

"...That's about it." Qiao Bai omitted the parts about building trees and sacred trees and did not go into details.

 Investigated.

 It doesn’t look familiar, they really know this person.

Qiao Bai walked in and interrupted what Zhou Xinran wanted to say.

 Everyone: “…”

 There are only two possibilities.

“Perhaps... despicable foreigners stole it?”

“You are right, we have been investigating those foreign professors and scholars for several days, but we found nothing.”

 Dala Tashi's tone was indescribably heavy.

He turned his head impatiently and looked in the direction of the door.

other people:"?"

 Look at the person at the door again.

 “Qiao Bai?!”

kindness?

 Qiao Bai?

 As far as Qiao Bai is concerned, it doesn’t seem to have much to do with him?

 Let them resolve their own affairs.

 Then everyone reacted.

“No, what does the loss of their things have to do with us?”

 Even if I check further, I still can’t find anything.

This name sounds a bit familiar!

It seems to look familiar?

 Hand took the initiative to talk about the current situation in Wanmu City.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, I thought it was the people from Wanmu City who came to ask some questions.

 The impact of one of their own crimes on them will be more serious than imagined.

 Everything else that can be said has been said.

  Matching Qiao Bai’s name and appearance.

　　Can't be found before.

 This matter must be given a fair explanation and treatment.

Qiao Bai could understand his mood.

 After communication.

  But obviously.

"Nothing at all."

 Then Zhou Xinran saw it, and he had no idea that anyone would appear here.

"you…"

 In the end, it was the old man who took a step back.

 From the perspective of blood, customs and habits.

One way is that the person who committed the crime is really good at hiding it. He must have done the investigation in advance and made all preparations.

 Another way is that the perpetrators are not outsiders at all, but local residents of Wanmu City.

 "I'm so damn...speechless! I'm really speechless!"

“That garland sounds like it’s really important. If so, I can understand their nervousness, but that doesn’t mean I have to accept it.”

 Everyone says something to me.

Zhou Xinran suddenly said: "This matter really has nothing to do with our people."

 Suddenly the room fell silent.

 The people who had been complaining indignantly just now suddenly became quiet.

 How to say this...?

 Swear and promise that everyone will do it.

 But it’s not true, but it’s hard to tell.

“Anyway, thank you.” After throwing such a big surprise that made everyone suspicious of each other, Zhou Xinran looked at Qiao Bai.

 She said to Qiao Bai gratefully.

Qiao Bai shook his head: "It's okay."

Just the discovery of Jianmu is quite worth it.

Zhou Xinran didn’t think so.

 Just because Qiao Bai knew where she was going, it didn't mean that Qiao Bai had an obligation to come find her.

Zhou Xinran moved closer to Qiao Bai and asked in a low voice, "Can't we get out if we don't find someone?"

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Not so.

Qiao Bai, who was regarded as his own by Jianmu, said confidently.

“But it would be better to find out who stole the wreath.”

Thinking that the wreath came from Jianmu, Qiao Bai felt that we should pay more attention to this matter.

 Zhou Xinran nodded: "Of course, and I doubt this..."

As he spoke, Zhou Xinran paused and glanced at Qiao Bai.

ˆ˜Qiao Bai: “?”

 Why are you looking at him?

Before Qiao Bai could ask, Zhou Xinran lowered his voice again and said in a low voice.

"And I suspect that this matter is related to the matter where your research results were leaked before."

 At the end, Zhou Xinran's voice was close to breathy.

Only Qiao Bai next to Zhou Xinran could hear it.

ˆ˜Qiao Bai: “…”

Forehead.

Qiao Bai opened his mouth, wanting to explain something.

Then I discovered that this thing is really hard to explain.

 Perhaps?

Although there are no traces of his research results being leaked from within, most of the news is more like a compilation and speculation of fragments of information on the Internet.

 But maybe?

Who knows if the Jianmu wreath was stolen this time, whether someone, or an outside force, is eyeing something with special beast-controlling powers.

“Let’s investigate first. If possible, we can help together.” Qiao Bai said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhou Xinran stared at Qiao Bai with a strange look.

ˆ˜Qiao Bai: “?”

 “Okay.” Zhou Xinran nodded.

 Didn’t ask Qiao Bai how he did it, how he made the locals in Wanmu City believe in them.

  In any case, they just want to find a way to investigate together.

When these pet professors and scholars reappeared in the square, both tourists and locals showed surprised expressions.

kindness?

Hmmhhhh?

 “Good guy.”

The young man who had been taught a lesson by his aunt before came to Qiao Bai's side.

 Hit Qiao Bai's shoulder with his shoulder.

"I thought you were really going to leave forever, but I didn't expect..."

As he spoke, the young man's eyes shifted from Qiao Bai to Zhou Xinran who was beside Qiao Bai.

 Unexpectedly, Qiao Bai not only came back by himself.

He also came back with the pet professors who seemed to have been imprisoned before.

 “How on earth did you do it?”

Qiao Bai smiled: "They are quite easy to talk to."

 The young man gave Qiao Bai a "do you think I believe it?" look.

 Qiao Bai smiled and said nothing.

The young man scratched his head when he saw this and did not continue to ask any more questions.

Qiao Bai casually found a place to sit down.

Zhou Xinran sat next to Qiao Bai, and the young man and the aunt also came over.

 Several people were chatting away.

at this time.

Qiao Bai vaguely felt as if a gaze was falling on him.

"ah."

“It seems like I guessed it right.”

Qiao Bai said with a smile.

 Zhou Xinran: “?”

 “guessed something.”

 Originally I thought it would take several more days. Unexpectedly, Zhou Xinran and the other foreign pet professors were released, and the real mastermind behind the scenes could no longer keep calm.

Qiao Bai even wanted to ask.

no?

How did such a person hide and not be discovered until now?

 You really don’t doubt your own people at all, right?

Qiao Bai was speechless.

 Fortunately, the old man is not really a vegetarian.

 After learning that Qiao Bai had communicated with the Divine Tree, and that the Divine Tree was very angry about their loss of the wreath.

 Thought this was a case of them not paying enough attention to the garland.

 Old man Dalazhaxi immediately abandoned those unnecessary entanglements and his kindness to his own people.

check.

 Must get to the bottom of it.

 Let the garland return to its place!

You must not let Lord Sacred Tree unleash his wrath!

So...

 “We caught someone.” The old man stroked his beard and said seriously.

Qiao Bai was a little speechless: "Aren't you guys pretty fast?"

 “Why did it take so long before?”

Qiao Bai was really speechless.

 Aza and other young people looked at Qiao Bai's rude look and immediately wanted to scold Qiao Bai for his behavior.

 But he was stopped by the old man.

"No."

“He is right, what happened this time is that we were too... incompetent.”

Hearing this, Aza and the others showed angry expressions on their faces.

 Because of the old man's obstruction, their anger could not be directed at Qiao Bai.

So everyone turned to the guy who stole the wreath.

"Damn it! I didn't expect it to be you, you kid!"

“Lama is usually a kind-hearted person. Before the wreath disappeared, this guy reminded me that it might have something to do with those foreigners...I...”

“Who would have thought that this guy would lead us like this on purpose!”

 The more I talk, the angrier I get!

Qiao Bai also took a look.

The man named Lama is a middle-aged man.

 Looks a bit dark.

Hooking his head, he couldn’t see his specific appearance clearly.

Looking taciturn.

 At first glance, he does seem like a very reliable and good old man.

Seeing that they were talking more and more, Qiao Bai waved his hands and became a little impatient: "I am not interested in the reasons for stealing the wreath and so on. I am too lazy to listen to people kneeling down, crying and confessing."

 Lama: “…”

Hearing Qiao Bai’s voice, Lama immediately remembered how he was exposed.

He raised his head angrily and glared at Qiao Bai fiercely.

Qiao Bai turned a blind eye.

Be scared?

impossible.

 “Where’s the garland?”

 “Once this is done, we can go out.”

 It's not even 24 hours yet. If we hurry up enough, we might not need to bother the Alliance.

"This..." After hearing Qiao Bai's question, the old man's expression gradually became embarrassed.

ˆ˜Qiao Bai: “?”

Qiao Bai also thought of some possibility.

"Isn't it?" Qiao Bai said with some surprise: "That wreath must have been preserved for many years. Can it be destroyed so easily?"

Qiao Bai didn’t quite believe it.

 But the old man showed a bitter expression on his face: "I don't believe it either, but...but...hey!"

As he spoke, the old man pushed a square, simple wooden box that didn't look too big in front of Qiao Bai.

 Look down.

 The inside is broken into pieces, like colorful things like glass.

 Garland.

 Qiao Bai's expression was a little surprised.

 From the photo, it looks like an ordinary garland.

 But why does the actual object look more like something like glazed crystal?

"Lord Divine Tree..." As he spoke, a bitter taste appeared in Dalazhaxi's mouth.

Chopper didn't speak.

What would Jianmu think when he saw this torn and torn garland?

 He doesn’t know either.

Just as Qiao Bai was about to return the wooden box, he realized that it couldn't be pushed.

ˆ˜Qiao Bai: “?”

Qiao Bai suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Dara Tashi in front of him with shocked eyes.

no? !

 What do you want to do, old man?

Qiao Bai asked with frightened eyes.

 “This Master Beast Master…”

"Stop!" Qiao Bai stretched out his hand and interrupted the old man's unfinished words.

 Qiao Bai rubbed his arms, with a look of disgust on his face: "Don't call me that, it's definitely not good if you call me that!"

However, although.

Qiao Baike has not forgotten that this old fox planned to plot against him at first.

 Old fox...ah no, after hearing what Qiao Bai said, the old man's face showed a little bit of embarrassment.

A little bit.

"I apologize to you for my previous behavior." Dalazhaxi's expression was extremely sincere.

"I still want to ask you about the garland..." Dara Tashi did not say the next words, and looked at Qiao Bai with a pleading look.

The atmosphere in the room gradually became weird.

Young people like Aza wanted to say something, but seeing how sincere Dalazhaxi was to Qiao Bai as the clan leader, they didn't dare to do anything.

Zhou Xinran frowned.

 “If there is danger…”

 “It’s okay.” Qiao Bai shook his head.

Looking at the garland in the wooden box, Qiao Bai thought about it for a while and nodded in agreement, helping them communicate with Jianmu about this matter.

 “I’ll give it a try, but there’s no guarantee.”

"Thank you so much!"

 …

This communication process is much simpler than Qiao Bai imagined.

Jianmu, who originally regarded Qiao Bai as his biological child, wanted to pamper Qiao Bai crazily.

Jobai came to Him with a broken garland.

 Explain the truth of the matter.

 It’s probably a story of jealousy.

 Jealous that young people are better than him.

Jealous that younger people are being used more important than him.

 Haunted by ghosts.

 Have done this kind of thing.

Jianmu shook the branch: "Oh."

  Don’t really care.

“So what should we do with this?” Qiao Bai asked Jianmu, raising the wooden box containing the torn garland fragments in his hand.

Jianmu: “Do you want it?”

ˆ˜Qiao Bai: “?”

 “What do I need this for? It’s useless.”

 “Why is it no longer useful?”

Qiao Bai was stunned by Jianmu's question.

etc?

What does it mean?

 Qiao Bai understood, and he looked at Jianmu with some surprise.

"You mean...even if this thing is broken into pieces, it is still useful?" Qiao Bai didn't understand, and Qiao Bai was surprised.

 But Jianmu nodded matter-of-factly: "Of course, this is the condensation of my strength."

 “The shape is just random.”

“The change in shape does not affect its function.”

ˆ˜Qiao Bai: “…”

This explanation... is so **** reasonable.

"Okay, I'll send it back to them later." Qiao Bai put away the wooden box.

 He has not forgotten the old man's heartbroken expression when he saw the wreath before.

Although Wanmu City did not do it properly this time.

But this does not mean that Qiao Bai deeply hates Wanmu City.

 This method of controlling beasts through the use of blood is still very useful.

 Speaking, Qiao Bai was about to leave: "Remember to return to normal entry and exit."
