Chapter 196: Chapter 148: Breaking Into the Manor of Baili Alone, the Number One Legend! (5k)_3
Baili Tu: “…”
Seeing that neither father nor son was willing to step back, Su Xing finally lost his patience and said in a low voice,
“If Young Master Baili is reluctant to part with the treasures, offering just half of them would suffice!”
Upon hearing this, Baili Qi’s face visibly brightened, and he cast a smug glance at his father.
He then bowed to Su Xing and said,
“Senior, in that case, I will take you to see those treasures…ahem, just to make it clear in advance, I will only give you half!”
Although Su Xing was laughing inwardly, he maintained a frosty facade and replied,
“Agreed!”
Soon, Su Xing and Baili Qi walked towards the warehouse where the Instance Dungeon Items were stored.
After the two left, Baili Tu’s countenance was solemn, and he seemed lost in thought.
After a moment of silence, Baili Tu suddenly called out,
“Afu, come here!”
“Master, what are your orders?”
The Martial Emperor who had sparred with Su Xing earlier approached and asked in a deep voice.
Baili Tu inquired,
“Afu, what do you think of that mysterious person’s strength just now?”
Afu fell silent for a moment, then stretched out his right hand to roll up his sleeve.
His entire right hand was swollen red and almost unable to make a fist, with his whole arm oddly bent.
Afu stated,
“Master, that senior’s strength…is unfathomable! Our Baili family must not become an enemy to him!”
“With just one punch, my right arm is as good as useless. It won’t recover for over a year!”
“Moreover, I have a hunch… that senior probably didn’t even use his full strength!”
Upon hearing this, Baili Tu became even more reticent.
Afu was an old member of the Baili family, having lived for more than five hundred years, and his strength had entered the late stages of Martial Emperor.
He was a Martial Emperor mighty warrior nurtured by the Baili family himself, the strongest among the three Martial Emperors.
Moreover, Afu was a practitioner of the strength-based profession, with physical prowess as his forte.
Nevertheless, in the exchange with Su Xing earlier,
Afu took the lead and seized the initiative, yet he was still defeated by Su Xing in one move, even sustaining a ruined arm.
This clearly showed Su Xing’s extraordinary strength!
After a lengthy silence, Baili Tu murmured,
“Alas, when did such a formidable warrior appear in Great Xia Country?”
“To defeat a late-stage Martial Emperor with a single punch, this power… might not be far off from legendary status!”
Baili Tu knew of Afu’s strength, and for that reason, he felt even more apprehensive about Su Xing’s abilities.
“Such a powerful figure, if my Baili family could foster a good relationship with him, he could probably preserve the Baili family’s prosperity for another thousand years!”
Baili Tu lamented, but then immediately thought of his disappointing son and his face darkened again.
“After this incident concludes, we must find a way to draw in this mysterious powerful individual, even if we can’t make him our own… we should still strive to befriend him!”
Baili Tu murmured to himself.
Meanwhile, Su Xing followed Baili Qi to a warehouse.
As they opened the large warehouse door, Su Xing was quickly astounded by what was stored inside.
The warehouse was over ten meters tall and covered several hundred square meters, filled with variously colored shelves.
On those shelves were placed all kinds of bizarre Instance Dungeon Items, each seemingly meticulously cleaned, and even their arrangement was carefully considered, making for a pleasing and orderly sight.
Su Xing swept a glance around the warehouse and then frowned slightly.
“Something’s not right! The amount of Instance Dungeon Items in this warehouse… they seem plentiful, but in fact, there aren’t that many, maybe even comparable to half a year’s output from the Jin Merchant Guild?”
“Could it be that this is all Baili Qi has collected over dozens of years?”
Estimating the value, Su Xing thought that the entire warehouse of items amounted to about a hundred million in energy.
Split in half, that would only be fifty million.
With this in mind, Su Xing felt somewhat uneasy.
At that moment, Baili Qi said somewhat proudly,
“Senior, look! These treasures are what I’ve painstakingly collected over the years!”
Hearing this, Su Xing frowned slightly and said, “Is this all you have collected over the years?”
Upon hearing this, Baili Qi waved his hand and said,
“How could that be? These are just one-tenth of it!”
After saying this, Baili Qi stepped forward a few steps, opened a hidden compartment, and from within, took out over a hundred Storage Rings.
Baili Qi said,
“Senior, these are all of my treasures! Just to remind you, you can only take half!”
After that, Baili Qi counted out more than fifty Storage Rings and handed them to Su Xing.
Without being polite, Su Xing inspected them briefly, and with a thought, he stowed all the Storage Rings into the Spirit Field Blessed Land.
At this, the corners of Su Xing’s mouth lifted slightly.
“Since the trade has been completed, I shall not stay any longer,” he said.
After saying this, Su Xing prepared to leave.
After walking out from the Baili residence, Su Xing heard Baili Tu calling from behind.
“Senior, wait a moment, please!”
Baili Tu, followed by several Martial Emperors, hurried out, causing Su Xing to slow down.
Baili Tu quickly said, “Senior, might you stay a little longer for a talk? You saved my life… it’s only proper for our Baili family to offer you a great banquet in gratitude!”
However, Su Xing shook his head slightly,
“No need. Since the deal is already done, I must be on my way!”
Having said this, Su Xing leaped up, ready to leave.
From behind, Baili Tu called out loudly,
“Senior, will there be another opportunity for us to cooperate in the future? How may I contact you?”
Without turning his head, Su Xing’s voice echoed in the air.
“You should continue collecting Instance Dungeon Items. When the time is right, I will make my appearance!”
After saying this, Su Xing did not linger and disappeared into the distance.
Seeing Su Xing leave, Baili Tu felt somewhat saddened and exclaimed,
“Alas, this senior is unfathomable… If we can’t form a good relationship with him, it would be a great loss for our Baili family!”
Witnessing Baili Tu’s troubled look,
Baili Qi couldn’t help but laugh to himself and said,
“Father, let me tell you something…”
“Previously, to prevent someone from stealing my treasures, I placed tracking devices in each Storage Ring. We might just be able to discover where the senior lives and his identity!”
Hearing Baili Qi’s words, Baili Tu’s eyes lit up as he eagerly asked,
“Is that true?”
“Hahaha, you unfilial son, after so many years, you’ve finally done something dependable!”
