Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 102 He Was Wrong

In Wutan City, at the Xiao family residence, in Xiao Bai's small courtyard.

The golden peach tree in the courtyard has reached its flowering season again. At this time, golden and red petals cover the entire peach tree. A gentle breeze blows, the branches sway, and some petals slowly drift down to the stone table under the tree.

Beside the stone table sat a young girl dressed in a light blue dress. She was like a lotus flower untouched by the world, pure and clear. At this moment, she was holding an ancient book and reading it attentively. On the table was a cup of tea with wisps of white steam rising from it, its fragrance filling the air.

"Come out!"

The girl's calm eyes flickered, and she suddenly spoke, her voice ethereal and melodious, with a cleansing quality.

As soon as he finished speaking, a green figure appeared not far away, respectfully looking at the girl beside the stone table whose gaze was still fixed on the book, and bowed, saying:

"Miss!"

The girl slowly raised her head, revealing a delicate and beautiful face, which was none other than Xiao Xun'er.

"Speak! What is it that you want to bother me at this time!" Xun'er stared at the green figure for a long time before speaking calmly.

The green-clad figure looked somewhat bitter. If it weren't for the news about that person, she wouldn't have come to this courtyard to bother her young mistress.

"Miss, Master Ling has sent word that Young Master Xiao Bai is already on his way back!" the green-clad figure hurriedly reported.

Upon hearing this, Xun'er's beautiful eyes, as calm as autumn water, instantly filled with surprise. A genuine smile appeared on her delicate and elegant face as she softly said, "So you're finally coming back!"

"Does Elder Ling have any other information?" Xun'er asked impatiently.

Since Ling Ying sent a message saying that Brother Xiao Bai had already discovered his whereabouts, she had stopped having Ling Ying send a message every month.

She was afraid that the philandering guy would misunderstand!

Thinking of this, Xun'er gritted her teeth. Ling Ying sent a final message saying that her brother Xiao Bai had taken in another maid.

Fortunately, this time it was just a young girl. Although she was a little resentful at the time, she didn't care too much after hearing about the whole process of how they met.

The figure in cyan slowly recounted Xiao Bai's subsequent experiences.

"So that night, Brother Xiao Bai exposed Elder Ling in order to break through to the Great Dou Master level. Brother Xiao Bai is indeed very fast!" Xun'er thought to herself thoughtfully.

Ling Ying didn't witness it firsthand, but after discovering Xiao Bai's Great Dou Master cultivation level, she began to speculate about why he had called out to her that night.

"Queen Medusa?" Xun'er frowned slightly, a little worried, upon hearing that this peak Dou Huang had appeared.

"The Serpent Spirit, Green Barbarian, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King, the Heavenly Serpent Palace?" Xun'er picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said calmly, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.

"Have you figured out the details of that ice-attribute Dou Huang?" Xun'er glanced at the green figure and asked with a frown.

"According to my investigation, that person is named Hai Bodong, one of the top ten strongest figures in the Gama Empire, known as the Ice Emperor. He is proficient in ice-attribute battle qi and seems to have a deep connection with the Mittel Auction House."

"More than twenty years ago, his cultivation was sealed by Medusa in the Tagor Desert. He then lived in seclusion in Mo City until Young Master Xiao Bai appeared. After that, he followed Young Master Xiao Bai, but his motives are unknown!"

"The motive is unclear?"

Xun'er didn't seem very satisfied with this perfunctory answer. She was extremely sensitive and protective of anything related to that person, and she wouldn't allow any unknown danger to lurk around him.

"I'm sorry, Miss!" The green-clad figure said with a wry smile, "When Master Ling first met them, all he knew was that Young Master Xiao Bai and that man had a fight. No one knows what happened inside the house afterwards, but Master Ling suspects they must have made some kind of deal!"

"After learning of Young Master Xiao Bai's powerful soul force, Master Ling stopped getting too close, so he doesn't know much about many things!"

"Ugh!"

Upon hearing this, Xun'er's pretty face showed some worry. Could it be that Brother Xiao Bai thought that Elder Ling was sent by her to follow and monitor him?

She truly had no idea that her brother Xiao Bai would give her such a surprise—the soul power of a late-stage mortal realm cultivator!

She thought the person she sent would never know! Who knew he already knew? That despicable villain! He hid it so well!

Perhaps Ling Ying had already been exposed when he was at the Xiao family, but he just didn't expose him!

"Miss, there's no need to worry. Young Master Xiao Bai already knew about Master Ling when he left, so he probably didn't think much of it! Besides, Miss is acting out of pure sincerity, wanting to protect him, and has no other motives!" The green figure comforted her with a smile.

The green-clad figure was fully aware of her mistress's youngest daughter's thoughts.

The young lady is usually calm and wise, but as soon as that name is mentioned, her elegant and almost aloof nature immediately sheds its coldness and she enters a state of being in love.

I rejoice for him, and I grieve for him!

Thinking of that person named Xiao Bai, the green figure couldn't help but want to complain again. This lucky guy, being able to win the favor of her young lady is already a blessing he has accumulated over several lifetimes, yet he still...

It's hard to believe that someone as proud as Miss would still be so hung up on that guy even after knowing certain things.

Moreover, my longing has intensified lately, and I come to this courtyard almost every day to spend some time there, without being disturbed by anyone. It's as if the presence of that person's presence here can alleviate my lovesickness.

"So, recently, Brother Xiao Bai has been staying with the Snake-People tribe until he set off to return to Wutan City?" Xun'er came back to her senses and continued to ask softly.

Upon hearing this question, the green figure paused slightly, recalling the intelligence that had been relayed back, and had no choice but to continue, forcing a smile:

"Yes, Miss, Young Master Xiao Bai must have made some kind of deal with Queen Medusa. Afterwards, Master Ling sensed the aura of the strange fire and some special celestial phenomena, guessing that it was related to Queen Medusa's evolution!"

"Another deal?"

Xun'er was at a loss for words. Was her Xiao Bai brother going to make a deal with anyone?

It was a deal with Yao Lao, it was a deal with Hai Bodong, and now it's a deal with Queen Medusa.

"Miss," the green figure called out softly and cautiously.

"Is there anything else?" Xun'er asked, a little puzzled. Hadn't everything already been explained?

"Miss, according to Master Ling, that Medusa Queen seems to be related to Young Master Xiao Bai."

Before the green figure could finish speaking, he noticed the girl opposite him's face darken slightly, and he quickly swallowed the rest of his words.

He's mistaken.

The girl's voice was flat, with a faint, barely perceptible hint of resentment. Now, she was no longer as furious about this matter as she had been when she first learned about Little Fairy Doctor.

However, she thought bitterly to herself, "Another one has appeared. Who dares to steal from Xiao Xun'er's home?"

"Yes, yes!" The green-clad figure wiped away her cold sweat and didn't bring it up again. Although she knew that her young lady was of noble status, no matter how extraordinary she was, she was still a woman after all. Jealousy was an innate talent for any woman.

"Step down!" Xun'er said calmly.

"Yes!" The green figure bowed and quickly turned into a shadow, disappearing into the courtyard.

After she disappeared, Xun'er picked up a golden-red peach petal, thought of that hateful person, and gritted her teeth for a moment.
