Chapter 990: Everyone pretends to be confused
Of course, all this was just his speculation, and he couldn't be completely sure.
After all, he only suspected that Duan Qing of the Shinto Sect was the murderer of his grandson, and he didn't have complete evidence.
And whether the person in front of him was Duan Qing of the Shinto Sect was just his guess, and he couldn't be sure.
With the two combined, he was only 50% sure at most whether the person in front of him was the murderer of his grandson.
In addition, Duan Qing's voice transmission made him even more unsure.
For a while, Baili He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Seeing that Baili He didn't respond, Duan Qing sent a voice transmission again to test.
"The junior and Senior Baili have no grudges or hatred. It is fate to meet again today. I would like to present the treasure I just got to Senior Baili. What do you think?"
After saying that, Duan Qing really took out the ink-colored jade slip he had just obtained and shook it in his hand.
Hearing Duan Qing's words, Baili He was surprised and suspicious, and his heart was moved.
To be honest, he attacked Duan Qing because he suspected that Duan Qing was the murderer of his grandson, but also because of the black jade slip.
He saw Duan Qing take out a black jade slip from the black light column with his own eyes.
He had lived for so many years, let alone seen the black light column, and he had never even heard of it.
His intuition told him that the black jade slip in Duan Qing's hand was definitely an extraordinary thing.
However, it was impossible for him to let Duan Qing go just because of the jade slip.
After a little hesitation, Baili He decided to play along and responded to Duan Qing: "Give the thing to me first."
Duan Qing was so naive that he chuckled and said: "Haha, as long as Senior Baili swears with his life that he will not embarrass me again after getting this thing, I will immediately offer the thing with both hands."
Baili He's face sank.
This kid is not easy to fool!
Then, he fell into deep thought.
Is it the black jade slip or revenge for his grandson?
If he wanted the black jade slip, it should be safer. After all, since the boy in front of him took the initiative to bring up this matter, he must have really made up his mind to give him the thing in exchange for his life.
And if he wanted revenge, it was not a question of whether he could catch up with this boy. Even if he caught up, what if he was not the murderer?
If this boy wanted to fight to the death and destroy the jade slip, it would be a waste of time!
For a moment, Baili He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
According to his idea, it was naturally the best of both worlds, getting the treasure and taking revenge at the same time.
But the weird thing was that the boy in front of him was so fast that he couldn't catch up after chasing for hundreds of miles.
Thinking of this, Baili He felt as if he had overlooked something, but he couldn't remember it.
What exactly was it!
Speed!
That's right... it was speed!
Baili He was suddenly startled, and his eyes looking at Duan Qing gradually became cold, and murderous intent was revealed.
The Shinto disciple who killed his grandson Baili Guanri was extremely fast. With his cultivation level at the early stage of the Spiritual Sea Realm, he left him behind when he was at the middle stage of the Spiritual Life Realm.
And now his cultivation level has broken through to the late stage of the Spiritual Life Realm, so his speed is naturally much faster than ten years ago.
However, even so, he could not catch up with the boy in front of him who was only at the late stage of the Spiritual Sea Realm.
More importantly, the person in front of him was just flying with a sword, without using any other means of blessing, and even his skills were not exposed.
This shows that this boy may still have some strength left!
Baili He has lived for hundreds of years and has seen many people with fast speeds, but he has only seen two people with such speeds that can match or even exceed those in the Spiritual Life Realm with the Spiritual Sea Realm.
One was the murderer who killed his grandson Baili Guanri back then.
The other... is the person in front of him!
There will be no such coincidences in the world.
If he was only 50% sure before that the person in front of him was the murderer of his grandson, then now he is 90% sure, almost certain.
This boy is most likely the real murderer of his grandson, Shinto Sect Duan Qing!
After thinking this through, Baili He's breathing became rapid, and it was almost difficult to suppress the murderous intent in his heart.
At the same time, he also figured out why Duan Qing wanted to hand over the jade slip.
This kid was obviously faster than him, but he compromised with him. It was obvious that he had concerns or had other important things to do and didn't want to be entangled by him.
In addition, this boy might also want to test him.
Although he had basically understood Duan Qing's identity and intentions, Baili He did not make any move, but suppressed the murderous intent in his heart and tried his best to stay normal.
Then, he pretended to be very embarrassed and sent a voice message to Duan Qing: "Okay, if you hand the things to me, I swear that I will never embarrass you again!"
He knew very well that Duan Qing dared to pretend to be confused with him, just relying on his identity not being exposed.
If Duan Qing knew that he had seen through his identity, he would never talk to him again and would definitely escape at full speed.
At that time, it would be difficult for him to catch Duan Qing in a short time!
Therefore, even if he hated Duan Qing to the bone, he wanted to tear him into pieces immediately to vent his hatred. But he had to be patient and temporarily stabilize Duan Qing.
Duan Qing heard Baili He accepted his suggestion, and couldn't help but look back and glanced at Baili He in surprise.
To be honest, he didn't expect Baili He to really compromise.
He took the initiative to make this suggestion before, of course, he really wanted to use it to get rid of the pursuit of Taisheng Sect, but more, he was actually testing Baili He.
After thinking for a while, he sent a message to Baili He: "Senior Baili, you swear first, and then I will present the things."
Since Baili He is willing to compromise, he doesn't mind taking advantage of the situation and getting out of it first.
The price is just a map that can be copied, which is nothing at all.
Baili He shook his head and said: "What if I swear and you don't keep your promise!"
"Then what should we do according to Senior Baili's opinion?" Duan Qing said casually.
Baili He looked back and glanced at Xiong Canghai and the other two who were desperately following him dozens of miles behind, and sent a message to Duan Qing: "Why don't we wait for the three junior brothers Xiong from my sect, and I will swear again in front of the three junior brothers Xiong, how about it?"
No matter how stupid Duan Qing is, he will not be stupid enough to accept Baili He's suggestion.
If the three people from Taisheng Sect catch up, he will not be able to control the initiative.
So he refused without thinking: "Senior Baili, either you swear now, or I will destroy the jade slip now."
As he said that, Duan Qing raised his right hand holding the jade slip and pretended to squeeze it tightly.
Baili He seemed a little flustered, and quickly sent a voice message to stop him: "My friend, don't be impulsive!"
Then, he pretended to be embarrassed: "Okay, my friend is a Shinto disciple, I don't think you can deceive me, I will believe you this time!"
