The Spirit World

Chapter 470 Bai Yutang and Tang Meng
Waiting is always long and wears out one's will.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, making Crescent Bay even noisier.

"Cold... so~ cold..." Junyi Tachibana shivered and wrapped her clothes tightly. The cold air coming out of her mouth was enough to condense into ice.

It seems that everyone here is able to spit out explosive ice attacks like a dragon...

"What should I do? The security here is very strict and I can't use my spiritual power at all." Ju Junyi looked at Chang Yufeng who was meditating and resting next to her. Her eyes were a little dull and she couldn't even change her expression at all.

Even if you cover yourself with clothes like a mountain, there is no way to stop the cold air from entering your body.

The white snow fell here, covering the entire Crescent Bay's "group of heroes" and leaving behind pieces of pure white.

Chang Yufeng was meditating, concentrating his energy, and his expression did not change at all, which made him seem out of place with everything here.

There have been enough complaints here.

"Damn it... I can't curse, so I'm just going to freeze to death here?" A tall man clenched his fists in anger. Looking at the people from the Law Enforcement Department who used their spiritual power to make their bodies warm, his anger became even more obvious.

"Shut up! Don't talk!" A member of the Justice Department drew his sword, put it across his waist, and shouted sternly.

"There has to be an explanation! You are simply not leaving us a chance to live! After all, our people here come from all over the empire, not to mention a lot of people above the Golden Rank. You have to give us a reason for us to stay here!" The man's fist was exposed in front of his eyes, and the spiritual power on his fist gushed out, and the red spiritual power was facing his anger.

He wanted to seek support from those who were also filled with rage. Many people were breathing out white mist and looking at him from afar. Those who were too cold to move also looked over here.

The officer from the Justice Department stared at him, raised his sword, and pointed the sharp tip at the man.

"Shut up! If you keep talking, I'll treat you as a spy and execute you on the spot!"

The man refused to give in: "We can't stay here and freeze to death!"

"Freeze to death if you want. You are already a person from the Broken Gold Star. How can you be bothered by a little bit of cold?" The officer from the Justice Department swung his sword, and a stream of sword energy struck the man's feet, causing the piled up snow to explode.

The man took a step back and glared at the officer from the Justice Department with an angry look. He gritted his teeth and could no longer endure it: "Then you have to give me a way out! You have to be reasonable!"

"It doesn't make sense. You just can't use spiritual power. Either you disobey it once and see what happens, or you just go and make a fire to keep warm like everyone else!"

"hateful!"

The officer from the Justice Department raised his sword, forcing the man to clench his fists tightly with gritted teeth, and he couldn't say anything else.

But he stared at the man intently, and the fire in his eyes seemed to devour the people from the Justice Department.

Chang Yufeng was sitting very close to him, and Ju Junyi poked his head out from his clothes and looked at the man helplessly. Although he felt very aggrieved, it seemed that he had no choice but to wait here.

They didn't know what happened in the city, so they could only wait here. They couldn't use their spiritual power, so something big must have happened.

"I'm so cold... Chang... Ning Feng... Do you have any warm clothes?... I feel like my upper and lower teeth are fighting..." Jun'ichi Tachibana's mouth was clattering and he was shivering with the cold.

Everyone here, not to mention those who didn't bring clothes to keep warm, even those who did bring clothes to keep warm, couldn't stand the cold here.

Not to mention those who were in a hurry and didn’t put on any clothes…

Chang Yufeng shook his head. He looked at the staff from the Zhengfa Division and the man who were still confronting each other with their eyes. From the back, the man was really tall. If he really couldn't bear it, he probably wouldn't have said anything.

"It's meaningless to say that." One person put his hand on the man's shoulder, patted him gently and said: "Look at everyone here, they are all here to attend Xu Jiaqing's banquet for the heroes. Not only can we give him an invitation, but we should also give him some face..."

The man was dressed in white and was holding a fan in broad daylight, gently fanning the snow. He also had a sword on his waist, and looked quite elegant, like a fair-skinned young master.

He was definitely not cold. He stopped the protesting man with one hand and pointed a fan at the people who were squatting to avoid the cold in the white night.

"There are so many brothers here who have broken the gold star. If we have spiritual power to keep warm, it's fine. We are trapped here artificially, and we don't have any complaints. Even this brother said that we just want to know why we are placed here. Can you tell us a little bit so that we can have some clues?"

The fan folded up and was placed in front of his chest.

"Pfft... placement..." Tachibana Jun'ichi rolled his eyes and looked at Chang Yufeng who was motionless. No one responded and he felt more and more bored.

The young man holding the fan glanced at Tachibana Junichi, as if he heard her sneer.

"You just need to wait here!" The officer from the Justice Department said nothing, but his attitude was much more gentle: "Mr. Bai, I'm sorry to have wronged you, but this is a serious matter, and I am only following your orders."

"Oh... It's okay, it's okay. I understand your work. You came all the way from the border, I can tell." Mr. Bai patted the man's chest again, signaling him to calm down. He looked at the staff of the Justice Department and smiled: "I can't stand the wait... I have a better idea, so I'm not so scared."

"Mr. Bai, please be patient. If things calm down quickly, then it will be over soon. If things calm down slowly, please bear with me."

"Hey...it's okay. I'll just wait..." Mr. Bai bowed to the staff of the Zhengfa Division, and the staff returned the greeting.

Mr. Bai turned around and tapped his arm lightly with his fan, saying softly, "Take care of yourself."

The man looked at him, and although he didn't know why, he was less angry.

The sky was filled with white snow, which fell on Mr. Bai's black hair. There was a beautiful gem on the crown on his head, which also sparkled.

He looked in the direction of Jun'ichi Tachibana, covering his face with a fan, leaving only his purple eyes exposed.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this kind of purple is evil.

The chaos that had just been quelled was actually happening frequently in Crescent Bay now. The personnel from the Justice Department stood by, as if they were guarding the people in the prison, regardless of whether they were dead or alive.

Even pleas for mercy were ignored.

"Hmm?" Jun'ichi Tachibana looked at Mr. Bai who was slowly walking towards her. The distance was so short that she didn't have time to retract her sticking head into her clothes.

The man turned around, stopped, and sat down next to Chang Yufeng.

He opened the fan with a swish sound and began to fan himself, then touched his hands and closed his eyes as if nothing had happened, as if he was taking a rest as well.

Chang Yufeng opened his eyes and looked at him.

From under the veil, Mr. Bai became more and more handsome.

Jun'ichi Tachibana quickly shrank his neck into the group of clothes.

This person...

What do you mean?
He chose not to sit anywhere else, but here.

Chang Yufeng didn't ask because another person sat down, the tall man who was about to speak.

Most of the people here are sitting or standing like this. The impact fans in Crescent Bay are very old, but there is little space for people to stand. There are about tens of thousands of people gathered in Longzhong City, and many of them are hiding well. It would be better if everyone does not offend each other.

"Are you... the young master of the Bai family in Tianque Mountain?" The man looked at Young Master Bai in shock, sat down, and then stared at Young Master Bai with surprise.

"Tianque Mountain, Bai Yutang, may I ask who you are?" Mr. Bai opened his eyes and answered the man. "Yuzhao Mountain, the third son of the Tang family, Tang Meng."

"Nice to meet you." Mr. Bai bowed and Tang Meng returned the greeting.

The two of them started chatting, and Jun'ichi Tachibana listened beside them.

Chang Yufeng just sat there quietly and stopped meditating.

"You are also invited to the Banquet of Heroes?"

"Everyone here should be the same. How can I not be the same?"

"That's not necessarily true. The Bai family is one of the five major families. When the banquet for the heroes begins, the seats will be different."

Tang Meng glanced at Chang Yufeng. His body seemed rather large under the veil, so he needed to lift his head to see his face. But when Chang Yufeng lifted his head, because of the veil hat, the movement was so big that others would see him looking at the two people.

"Ha, if that's the case, it would be great. The Bai family is already weak and powerless, and things are no longer the same as they used to be." Mr. Bai didn't seem to shy away from talking about his family's affairs. He smiled and said, "The rise and fall is just a matter of someone's words."

"..." Tang Meng seemed to know who that person was, so he paused and changed the subject: "Brother Bai, do you recognize that person from the Justice Department? Why did he tell me to take care of myself?"

"So you really didn't know..." Mr. Bai smiled again, put away his fan, and glanced at the pile of clothes next to him.

He laughed happily.

"Ha, just ask the little girl next to you and you'll know. She knows much more than I do. She will definitely be able to tell you why."

Tang Meng looked at the pile of clothes. His tall stature made him look clumsy.

"Where is the woman here..."

This pile of clothes, spread out on the ground, looked like a small hill.

Unexpectedly, Jun'ichi Tachibana was lying in a pile of clothes, listening to their conversation in a daze.

What? It involves me.

What do you mean?
Chang Yufeng saw that Mr. Bai seemed to be quite familiar with him. He wondered if he had seen him in that inn before, or if he was obsessed with his appearance and wanted to do something to him.

Report, or have other intentions?
"It's not good to make people idle..." Master Bai fanned the wind again, letting the snow fall on his body. He looked at Tang Meng who was looking at him again, and stopped smiling: "If you had argued with the people from the Justice Department again, no matter who you were or how right you were, you would have lost your head."

He got closer and spoke in a lower voice.

He looked at the pile of clothes with his purple eyes, blinked, and the corners of his mouth curled up again.

"How could the Justice Department be so murderous? Is it difficult for my legitimate demands to be met? I just want to know why we are here. They didn't even tell us anything! They just locked us up here like prisoners." Tang Meng was so confused that he actually shouted quite loudly.

Or maybe his voice is just that loud, and it still sounds deep even when he lowers it.

"No, no, no, they are not the Justice Department. Who told you that you are the Justice Department just because you are wearing the Justice Department's clothes... They are the Pacification Department... They are in charge of border affairs."

"Fuzhensi, White Deer King?" Tang Meng seemed to have suddenly realized something.

Chang Yufeng frowned. Now everyone was "afraid to speak loudly for fear of disturbing the people in heaven". This kid Tang Meng was being too loud, like a reckless man.

Speaking of which, this kind of reckless thing made Chang Yufeng a little surprised why someone would be so ignorant and even unable to read people's expressions.

After many years, he finally realized that there are all kinds of people in this world, and it is not just what he thinks. Not everyone can live to see tomorrow's sunrise. This is the truth.

Anyway, this Tang Meng made him feel a little embarrassed. He was like a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger, so this was the only explanation.

But Mr. Bai also smiled and said nothing, without commenting, and then said lightly: "I told you to take care of yourself, just because I wanted to have a few words with that person to get to know him. In essence, I am the same as you."

"No, Mr. Bai, can the Fuzhen Division do whatever it wants? This makes Tang Meng a little confused... Life and death are so important. I have seen many people unable to withstand the severe cold. Do they really not care about the life and death of these people?"

Tang Meng's train of thought seemed to have come back to him, and he kept dwelling on the question he had just asked the staff of the Law Enforcement Department.

He didn't understand, even after being pointed out a few times.

However, Mr. Bai laughed even more happily.

"They are in charge... If they hadn't locked up all the heroes in the world here, who knows how many people would have died."

"What do you mean?"

Tang Meng scratched his head. He felt that Mr. Bai was leading him by the nose.

Ju Junyi cursed Tang Meng inwardly for being stupid. He turned over, and the pile of clothes loosened, and a piece of clothing fell out.

"It's just...something big happened..." Mr. Bai smiled. He covered half of his face with a fan and looked at Chang Yufeng with his purple eyes.

"Something big happened? We have detained so many people here... It is indeed a big deal..." Tang Meng nodded.

"Hey... you're so stupid..." Tachibana Junichi cursed, poking his head out from the pile of clothes in annoyance and said, "Can you guys talk somewhere else... you're so stupid... It's such a simple thing, everyone should understand it once it's explained, why don't some people understand it?"

"Wow, there really is a woman..." Tang Meng looked at Ju Junyi in surprise. Ju Junyi rolled his eyes and looked at Chang Yufeng with a helpless look.

Chang Yufeng felt Junyi Tachibana's... embarrassment and helplessness through the white gauze.

Along the way, Jun'ichi Tachibana's liveliness and maturity were accompanied by sufficient acumen. There were some things that he saw through without saying them out loud, and there were some things that he understood at a glance without much unnecessary thought.

It was normal for her to feel uncomfortable when she saw such a dull person. This was a common problem among geniuses.

Chang Yufeng shook his head and said nothing. He looked at Mr. Bai, and Mr. Bai looked at him.

This Mr. Bai gave him an inexplicable pressure...

Unspeakable pressure...

It seemed that everything about him was seen through, but not as much as that seen through by Ms. Mei Qingzi. Mr. Bai had a sense of mystery, and gave people the feeling that he was hidden deep.

“Hahahaha…” Seeing Ju Junyi shrink back in anger, Mr. Bai laughed even more happily.

"I will tell you about this slowly... Longzhong City has long been in danger... There is still one day before the Banquet of Heroes, and we were collectively driven out of Longzhong City. There is a lot of story behind this, not too much, not too little, if you are willing to listen, I will tell you."

Mr. Bai’s smile was directed at Chang Yufeng.

Even though the veil covered her face, it seemed unable to hide...these...purple eyes.
