Chapter 6, Discovery

Qin Le sat on the stone steps in the courtyard, resting his hands on his head, staring blankly at Bai Yu's figure since he returned. It was unclear what he was thinking.

They nodded slightly and smiled faintly, saying, "Alright, you may leave for now."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of all those who heard them changed dramatically, and the soldiers were also taken aback, sternly declaring: "Are you serious! Such a significant matter cannot be fabricated; if there is any deception, severe punishment will follow!" Old Qin quickly forced a smile and said: "Sir, how could I possibly dare to deceive you regarding such an important matter!"

After standing at the street corner for a while and noticing that no one was entering or leaving the house, Wang Bo-dang left and returned to the tavern. It was still daytime, and even if he had any thoughts, it was inconvenient to act on them.

At the Smoke and Cloud Restaurant, Wang Bodang passed by yesterday and saw a notice posted in front of the building, advertising high-paying positions for guards. With his extraordinary cultivation level, Wang Bodang successfully applied for the job.

The tavern has always been a place rich in information; working here not only facilitates the gathering of news but also minimally affects one's cultivation, making it a win-win situation.

After all, we will be working together, and we will inevitably have to interact in the future. Brother Zhou smiled brightly and said, "Alright!"

Although most people are hurrying along, few are seen running wildly on the main road. Old Qin and Bai Yu, who is carrying Qin Le, have been running frantically from the end of the main road to the city gate. Many people around are frowning, secretly murmuring about the lack of manners.

Old Qin, standing by, looked at Qin Le's dazed figure and sighed. Perhaps one day he would forget, Old Qin smiled bitterly

Unlike the previous life, this is an era of technology where individual power is infinitely diminished, relying more on the collective cooperation and honor. However, this world belongs to one where individual strength reigns supreme. A single person's power can change the entire battlefield, even akin to the immortals and demons of myths from the previous life

Several people walked straight towards the soldier at the city gate. Old Qin gasped for breath and said, "There is a water monster in Quhe! Many people have already died!"

At this moment, Bai Yu's resolve to become stronger was further solidified, not only to return to Earth but also because he suddenly detested the feeling of life and death being at the mercy of others. Additionally, there was the inner yearning for strength that resided within him as a man

It is indeed a matter of luck. On this day, while Wang Bo was practicing, he inadvertently spotted a person in a tavern. This individual was unfamiliar to him, yet his appearance and physique closely resembled one of the individuals that his superior had instructed him to pay attention to the previous day.

On the training ground, some soldiers are practicing martial skills, all of which are battlefield techniques. Each move is filled with a fierce aura, and most of them involve long weapons. After all, on the battlefield, a longer weapon is stronger, and when facing exotic beasts, long weapons hold an advantage, especially when one has not yet reached a certain level of mastery.

Although I do not know why you specifically inquired about me, I suppose there is nothing about me that would attract a strong practitioner of the Celestial Realm. Bai Yu readily admitted, "I am indeed not a local of Cheng County."

After clarifying the situation, the officer nodded and instructed the captain to take the three of them away. Just as Bai Yu was about to step back, the officer suddenly asked, "You said your name is Bai Yu?"

Wang Bodang looked coldly at the man and his friends as they elegantly finished their drinks and then settled the bill before leaving. Standing up, Wang Bodang said to the guard who was on duty with him, "Brother Zhou, I have something to attend to outside for a moment, could you please keep an eye on the tavern"

In Cheng County, soldiers stand guard in front of the open gates, with numerous citizens entering and exiting the city. Some are farmers and hunters from the outskirts coming into the city for trade, while others are merchants entering the city for business or leaving it.

They smiled meaningfully and said, "You must not be a local, right?"

The work of a guard at the Smoke and Cloud Restaurant is quite easy, as one only needs to take action when someone causes trouble or in the event of an emergency; on ordinary days, one can simply practice or attend to personal matters.

After all, on ordinary days, even if other captains have reported their tasks, they would directly dismiss them without any further conversation.

"Everyone, it has been reported that a strange beast has appeared in Quhe. I have brought the person involved here." The captain spoke respectfully to the burly man with a long beard in front of him

However, the restaurant is still a noisy place. If one is not exceptionally resolute, an ordinary person practicing here would be affected. Therefore, most guards prefer to stay in the backyard of the restaurant, where it is relatively quieter

Is this the strength of the powerful in this world? Although they merely sit quietly, it evokes an instinctive sense of helplessness within, akin to a rabbit encountering its fierce predator, the tiger.

After coming out, the captain's gaze towards Bai Yu changed slightly. Although nothing was explicitly stated, the fact that he took the time to inquire indicates that Bai Yu's identity is not so simple.

I am afraid that the cultivation level of those present has at least reached the Celestial Gang Realm! In the Celestial Gang Realm, one's vital energy flows like a dragon, and one's strength is inexhaustible

After returning to Old Qin's home, Bai Yu began to practice martial arts in the courtyard. Watching the figure moving about in the yard, Old Qin initially intended to inquire about the danger that Bai Yu had sensed earlier. However, after observing for a while, Old Qin sighed, realizing that Young Master Bai was not an ordinary person, and it was only natural for him to possess some extraordinary abilities.

Is this really the case? Bai Yu felt a deep shock within. The sturdy figure sitting there resembled a mountain, and within that quiet body flowed what seemed like magma, the scorching vitality instilling a sense of fear deep within.

The captain turned his head and said to Bai Yu and the other three: "Follow me."

Although it is not necessary to ingratiate oneself, it is best to establish a good relationship. Therefore, when leaving the city defense camp, the captain smiled kindly and said, "Alright, this matter will soon be addressed by someone. Once it is resolved, a notice will be posted at the South City Gate. You may return for now."

Wang Bodang secretly followed the man. After leaving the tavern, the man walked a short distance before parting ways with his group of friends, then entered the Xicheng District, and finally entered a house

The soldier relaxed his mind and glanced at the few fishermen in front of him, believing that they would not dare to deceive him. He then said to the soldiers beside him, "You all maintain order at the city gate first, I will go report to the governor." "Yes, Captain."

The guards of the restaurant maintain order within the establishment, thus they have dedicated rooms for training, which also allow for convenient observation of the entire hall

Bai Yu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Indeed."

The Chengxian City Garrison Camp serves as the main base for the city guard troops. The main gate is painted in vermilion, and upon entering, one finds two large drums placed on either side of the entrance. They are covered in mottled marks and bear numerous scratches, indicating that these drums have endured countless battles.

Fearing that the water monster behind them would catch up, the group continued to run without pause. Along the way, Qin Le accidentally twisted her ankle. Without a moment's hesitation, Bai Yu bent down and said, "Hurry up!" At that moment, there was indeed no time to think, but now, as they approached the city gate, Qin Le finally realized what had happened, her flushed little face buried in his back, resembling a roasted red shrimp

This world is vast, so vast that there is not a single book in the Bai family's collection that can comprehensively summarize the size of this world

Of course, in the Bai family where I used to be, there were also powerful individuals who reached the Celestial Realm. Bai Yu had witnessed this before, but after all, it is merely a memory, far from the shocking experience of seeing it in person.

Therefore, when Wang Bodang informed the owner of the tavern that he wished to have a dedicated room for cultivation within the establishment, the owner readily agreed.
