Chapter 49

"Actually, no matter what, the current strength of Dongfang Bubai is beyond doubt." Suddenly, another person loudly said.

Everyone, including the refined man, couldn't help but nod in agreement with these words.

"Old man, can you and your granddaughter tell us another story about Dongfang Bubai?" someone suggested.

"Yes, tell us another story about Dongfang Bubai!"

"Sure, that can be done."

...

Everyone chimed in.

"Hehehe!" The old man smiled and nodded, "Then this old man will tell another story. Xiao Hong, do you know about Dongfang Bubai's deeds?"

Xiao Hong lifted her little head and twitched her little nose: "Grandpa, you underestimate me too much. Who doesn't know about Dongfang Bubai's deeds?"

"Alright, today I'll talk about the battle between Dongfang Bubai and Xue Shou Ligong more than two years ago." The old man tapped the small drum in his hand and spoke clearly.

"Uh-huh!" Xiao Hong nodded in agreement.

Then, the grandfather and granddaughter vividly narrated the story. Although everyone present basically knew about this event, they were still captivated by the storytelling and cheered repeatedly.

Zhang Chengfeng and the others also showed signs of joy, listening with great interest.

Dongfang Bubai quietly sipped his tea, seemingly oblivious to the stories the grandfather and granddaughter were telling. Even the mention of the Heavenly List didn't stir any emotions in him.

There was no other reason; many things only matter when they are unattainable. In his mind, once he reached the Grandmaster level, the top spot on the Heavenly List would naturally be his. There was no need to worry about it. This confidence was deeply ingrained in his bones, needing no words to express it.

At this moment, Dongfang Bubai had already confirmed the identities of the grandfather and granddaughter. They could only be Tian Ji Lao and his granddaughter, Sun Xiaohong.

It must be said that Tian Ji Lao was still very strong at this time, likely a Grandmaster of the world-class level. His sword told him that this old man was very dangerous.

Only world-class Grandmasters or above could make him feel this danger. Based on Dongfang Bubai's estimation, although Tian Ji Lao was not as strong as those on the Heavenly List, he was definitely not weak.

At least, Dongfang Bubai currently estimated that he was not a match, but he was not afraid. Without a real fight, who knew the outcome? Moreover, even if he couldn't win, the other party wouldn't be able to do anything to him, let alone that they wouldn't fight.

After a while, Tian Ji Lao and his granddaughter finished their story, bowed to the audience, and prepared to leave.

The crowd didn't make it difficult for the grandfather and granddaughter, allowing them to leave.

Watching the backs of Tian Ji Lao and his granddaughter, Dongfang Bubai's eyes showed a thoughtful expression. This Tian Ji Lao might be able to help him.

After a while, more and more people noticed Dongfang Bubai. Not to mention anything else, just the aura of supreme authority and his perfect appearance were enough to make everyone involuntarily pay attention to him, yet they were also somewhat afraid to look at him. In short, those who saw Dongfang Bubai became somewhat restrained in their behavior, and gradually, the entire second floor became completely quiet.

This was the effect of Dongfang Bubai's aura.

He didn't stay any longer and quickly left the tavern. Everyone on the second floor subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, secretly wondering who this person was, with such great authority!

After noting the name and location of the tavern, Dongfang Bubai and his group casually wandered around the city of Jinling again.

At the same time, Tian Ji Lao and Sun Xiaohong returned to their residence.

"Grandpa, who was that big brother wearing red and white clothes with a white sword at his waist? He looked so... so...!" Sun Xiaohong innocently scratched her head, unsure how to describe it, and asked curiously.

"Xiao Hong, you saw that person?" Tian Ji Lao asked seriously.

Sun Xiaohong nodded with big eyes and said brightly, "Of course I saw him, but for some reason, I was a bit afraid to look at that big brother, but he really looked good!"

Tian Ji Lao didn't answer Sun Xiaohong's question but instead looked at her very seriously and said, "Xiao Hong, you must remember, don't provoke that person, don't get to know him, and don't have any contact with him, understand?"

Although Sun Xiaohong didn't know why Tian Ji Lao was so serious, she obediently nodded, indicating that she understood.

"Good girl." Tian Ji Lao patted Sun Xiaohong's head and said kindly, but his heart became slightly heavy. He wasn't sure about Dongfang Bubai's identity, but he knew that he and his granddaughter should never have anything to do with this person.

Sitting in the carriage, Dongfang Bubai put aside the matter of Tian Ji Lao, casually touring the city of Jinling while thinking about the whereabouts of the two Tianxiang Douchou.

After all, this was different from the TV series from his previous life. Although there were people like Zhu Wushuang here, Cao Zhengchun was not a person of immense power and could not have obtained the Tianxiang Douchou, a world-class medicine.

Zhu Yuanzhang gave one Tianxiang Douchou to Zhu Wushuang, so if the remaining two were also given away, they must have been given to the people he was closest to and cared about the most.

Zhu Yuanzhang's closest and most cared-for people...!

Dongfang Bubai's eyes flashed, knowing who to ask.

However, he didn't act immediately. As he had told Yan Shisan, Ren Woxing, and others, this trip to Jinling City wouldn't be resolved in a short time. Knowing the general direction, Dongfang Bubai didn't mind waiting a bit.

He just gave an order to someone to return and convey a command to Jia Bu. Then, he continued to wander around Jinling City.

As the sun set and the moon rose, Dongfang Bubai and his group had dinner and then went to the most famous place in Jinling City, the Ten Li Qinhuai River.

This was a world-renowned pleasure ground, with countless people coming and going every day. Each brothel was supported by one or more forces, and this Qinhuai River alone supported many forces.

Dongfang Bubai and his group rented a medium-sized pleasure boat and slowly cruised along the river. It was a good time for business, with countless brothels on both banks, all brightly lit, and the sounds of laughter and quarrels could be heard everywhere.

There were also many pleasure boats of various sizes on the river, each filled with people. Poetry meetings, word meetings, music meetings, and other banquets were held on the boats, making the entire Qinhuai River a scene of bustling activity.

Dongfang Bubai sat at the bow of the boat, looking calmly at the Qinhuai River while sensing the presence of the Snake King. Indeed, the Snake King, following Dongfang Bubai's instructions, had not gone ashore but had swum along the river to the Qinhuai River.

With the sword qi that Dongfang Bubai had placed in the Snake King's heart, a massive creature about forty meters long soon appeared under the water of the pleasure boat, which was the Snake King.

Secretly ordering the Snake King to continue hiding under the Qinhuai River, Dongfang Bubai continued to tour the river. After an hour, Dongfang Bubai and his group slowly returned to their base.

After refining the White Peak Sword and practicing, the night passed.

For the next three days, Dongfang Bubai continued this routine, wandering around Jinling City during the day and visiting the tavern again to listen to the stories told by Tian Ji Lao and his granddaughter.

However, for some reason, the cute little girl Sun Xiaohong secretly glanced at Dongfang Bubai several times, her appearance truly very adorable.

Of course, Dongfang Bubai didn't pay much attention to this and even smiled at Sun Xiaohong unintentionally, which made her jump like a frightened rabbit, not daring to look at him again, finding it quite amusing.

He practiced as usual at night, and on the fourth day, Dongfang Bubai finally convened a meeting.

When Dongfang Bubai arrived in the hall, those who should have come were already there, and there was an additional person who looked like a child. Dongfang Bubai's eyes flashed, but he didn't say much.

After the formalities, Dongfang Bubai directly looked calmly at Wudu Laozu and the child-like person, as the child was standing behind Wudu Laozu.

Wudu Laozu immediately led the child to the center of the hall, bowed, and said, "Reporting to the Sect Leader, this is my son, who has been causing trouble in Jinling recently. I met him this time and brought him back, hoping the Sect Leader will forgive me."

Dongfang Bubai didn't speak, first looking at the child. Although he looked like a child in appearance and size, the maturity in his eyes revealed his age, and he had cultivated to the fourth level of innate, making it impossible to treat him as a child.

"Wudu, you brought an outsider into our sect's secret base without permission. What crime is this?" Dongfang Bubai spoke calmly, making Wudu Laozu's heart tremble.

With a "swish," Wudu Laozu immediately knelt down, pulling the child with him, and said fearfully, "Sect Leader, forgive me, forgive me. My son is naturally a member of our sect and can play a significant role in this mission."

"Hmm!" Dongfang Bubai raised an eyebrow, and a vast and profound aura enveloped Wudu Laozu and his son, making their bodies tremble and their faces pale. The child's lingering defiance disappeared completely, leaving only fear.

The others, except for He Qi, who looked somewhat worried, watched calmly. Zhang Chengfeng and his brother were secretly delighted. When they saw Wudu Laozu bring a child into the hall, they had this thought.

As the people who had followed Dongfang Bubai the longest, they knew that he hated those who acted on their own and disobeyed his orders. Bringing his son back was one thing, but bringing him to the hall was asking for trouble.
