"Let them sit down." The man who sat in the middle position spoke up.
Bai Xifeng assud he was the town’s mayor who wanted to et them.
"Sir, I am this town’s mayor, Zhu Guan." He said again.
Bai Xifeng’s guess was correct. He was indeed the town’s mayor. She wondered why they wanted to et them.
Zhu Guan stood up and bowed his head to the three of them. The Bai Family was startled.
"Sir, please lift up your head. What is going on here?" Bai Xiang frowned.
Zhu Guan raised his eyes.
"Your Excellency, actually, we are facing a threat that could harm the people who have been harassing the people in this town." Zhu Guan began to explain.
"Harassed people?" Bai Xiang raised his eyebrow.
"Are they bandit?" Bai Xifeng asked.
"Yes. They are harassing people. No... They are not a bandit." Zhu Guan said.
"How do they harass people?" Bai Tingfeng asked.
"They request people to pay so money to protect the people. For example, if you want to open your stall to sell things, you need to pay the protection money." Zhu Guan stated.
"Don’t forget about the fee for the people who want to enter our town." Zhu Delai said.
"Oh... That... So, they are indeed a bandit. Just an upgrade version." Bai Xifeng rembered that.
"Why don’t you work together to take them down?" Bai Tingfeng asked.
"It is not like we don’t want, but we can’t. They have a High Rank Congealing Channels Realm Cultivator as their boss. We don’t have the courage and strength to confront them." Zhu Guan sighed.
"So, you call us here to help you confront them?" Bai Xiang confird it once more.
"Yes. I hope to gain control of my own town. I want to make sure my people can live without fear." Zhu Guan bowed again.
"Lift your head. I will help you. Where can we find their base?" Bai Xiang asked.
"They are living in this town. You can see the huge mansion on top of the hill. That is where they live." Zhu Guan said.
"Well... Since it is already late, we should take care of that tomorrow." Bai Xiang said.
"Oh... Okay..." Zhu Guan nodded.
"We should search for an inn to stay overnight first." Bai Xiang said.
Bai Xifeng raised her eyebrow when she heard her father say that. Did they already agree to stay here? Even though she was confused, she did not question her father right then. She just let her father continue talking to them.
"No need to search for the inn. We would offer the rooms and food." Duan Guan said.
"Oh... Thank you." Bai Xiang nodded.
"Delai, arrange the rooms and dinner for our guests." Zhu Guan ordered.
"Yes, sir." Zhu Delai responded.
So, Zhu Delai brought the Bai Family to three rooms. There was nothing wrong with the rooms.
"We will bring your dinner later." Zhu Delai stated.
"Thank you." Bai Xiang nodded.
After Zhu Delai left the area, Bai Xiang turned to his children.
"Let’s enter the room first. We need to talk." Bai Xiang stated.
"Xixi, can you block the sound?" Bai Xiang said after entering the room.
Without any question, Bai Xifeng created an array blocking the sound from leaking out. Only then did Bai Xifeng ask Bai Xiang.
"Do you think they are lying?" Bai Xifeng asked.
"I don’t think that he is the real mayor." Bai Xiang said.
"Well... I think that Zhu Guan is a little bit sus." Bai Xifeng used the short form.
"What?" Bai Tingfeng and Bai Xiang were confused by Bai Xifeng’s words.
"I ant suspicious." Bai Xifeng corrected her words.
"So, what should we do?" Bai Tingfeng asked.
"We just need to confirm his identity, right?" Bai Xifeng grinned.
"Hmm... If Zhu Guan’s identity is legit, it will be fine. I will help him handle the situation." Bai Xiang said.
"Then, I will send out a couple of the bees to eavesdrop on their talking." Bai Xifeng said.
"Hmm... Great." Bai Xiang nodded.
So, Bai Xifeng borrowed a couple of bees from Anya and let them spy on Zhu Guan.
They ended the conversation. Not long after that, so servants ca bringing the food. Bai Xifeng tried to sll anything weird on the food but found nothing. They ate the food.
Zhu Delai returned to the hall where Zhu Guan and the elders gathered.
"Will they really help us?" One of the elders asked.
"They believe us. Look at the man’s expression. He probably thinks about what he should have done to that old man." Another elder chid in.
"Just let the n do the work and ask the girl to stay behind. If they refuse to help us, we can make that girl our hostage."
"That girl is beautiful as hell. I wonder what it feels like to have her lying under us."
"Delai, what do you think?" Zhu Guan asked.
"I think they are feeling suspicious about us." Zhu Delai stated.
"I also think so. They don’t fully believe us." Zhu Guan nodded. "So, what do you think we should do?"
"Stage sothing that convinces them that we are telling the truth." Zhu Delai suggested.
Zhu Guan smiled. "Indeed, you are really good, coming up with that idea."
Two hours later, the bees ca back. Anya ca out. The bees transferred the information to Anya. Anya began to tell Bai Xifeng what the bees got during the two hours out.
