Collapse Iron: I just transmigrated! You want me to save the Black Tower?!

Jiang Jiu nodded without saying anything more.

"Bathhouse fairy, I want to ask you a question."

Bathhouse Fairy: "What?"

Do you know Xi Lian?

Chapter 34 Before Dawn

Upon hearing the mention of Xi Lian, Bai E couldn't sit still even before the bathhouse elf had found anything.

He suddenly opened his eyes and then stood up.

Because he had been sitting in the bath for too long, he lost his balance and fell back into the bath with a thud.

【puff......】

[Xiao Bai, you know I'm a professional. I don't usually laugh unless I really can't help it...]

[Hahahaha... I looked around at the two delusional teenagers.]

[Isn't that right? Two delusional teenagers got tricked by a scheming guy.]

This is so much fun, come again!

Wan Di originally intended to get up and pull Bai E out, but because he had been sitting in the tub for too long, he was afraid that he would suffer the same fate as Bai E if he got up, so he just slowly got up along the edge of the tub.

He crossed his arms and looked at Bai E with disdain.

"That's it?"

Bai E: "Gurgle gurgle gurgle..."

Jiang Jiu suppressed a laugh as he rescued Bai E from the bath, and also asked Wan Di a question.

Do you need help?

Wan Di shook his head: "The words 'ask for help' don't exist in the dictionary of the Suspended Peak people."

That's a classic.

Jiang Jiu asked very sincerely, "Do you people from Xuanfeng even have words in your dictionary?"

Because this person was a guest, Wan Di refrained from retaliating.

After Bai E was dragged ashore, he lay paralyzed on the ground like a dead fish, unable to move no matter how much the wind and rain blew.

Jiang Jiu squatted down in front of him and thought for a moment about whether to repeat Xi Lian to turn on the phone for Bai E. However, before he could put this idea into practice, a new guest arrived at the bathhouse.

Tibo flew over in shock, looking at Bai E lying on the ground with disbelief.

"Xiaobai!!! Xiaobai, what's wrong with you?"

Bai Er stammered, "Uh... the murderer... is... Medemos..."

Tibo looked at Wan Di beside her.

"Xiao Di! What did you do to him... Never mind, Xiao Jiu, what happened?"

Seeing that Wan Di had his arms crossed and seemed unwilling to talk to her, Ti Bao decisively asked Jiang Jiu.

Jiang Jiu coughed lightly and extricated himself from the situation in a few words.

"Oh... When I came here, I thought they were soaking in a hot spring, but who knew they would end up like this after a while."

The bathhouse fairy very politely recounted everything that had just happened from beginning to end.

From the strange bet Bai E and Wan Di made, to the two of them soaking in the water for a long time, to Jiang Jiu raising the water temperature after arriving, and then...

The whole process of Bai E falling into the pool with a thud and being dragged out.

It wasn't supposed to be that funny.

After he finished speaking, Wan Di and Jiang Jiu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Bai Er rolled over on the ground, covering his eyes with one hand.

...It's a little embarrassing.

Tibo covered one eye, feeling somewhat speechless, and Feng Jin, who followed closely behind, was also at a loss for words.

They had been worried the whole way, and this is what happened...

Wan Di snorted coldly and said arrogantly, "This is what happens when someone overestimates themselves and challenges the Suspended Peak Man."

Bai E muttered incoherently about how unfair it was, clearly still not recovered.

"You're dressed... way more lightly than me, but this doesn't count..."

Wan Di crossed his arms: "Can't accept defeat? You want to try again? Fine, the word 'escape' doesn't exist in the dictionary of those who are on the edge of the mountain."

Jiang Jiu coughed lightly.

"Ahem... Stop competing, or your dictionary will really be empty."

Wan Di turned his face away, not wanting to stoop to Jiang Jiu's level.

Feng Jin looked at Jiang Jiu: "Wow, wow, wow, a new face! Who is this? A new friend?"

Tibo nodded.

"Xiao Jiu just arrived in Ohmma yesterday, so please get along well with everyone!"

Jiang Jiu hummed in agreement: "My name is Jiang Jiu."

Feng Jin quickly considered two names in her mind and happily chose Jiang Bao over Jiu Bao.

"Hello Jiang Bao, my name is Feng Jin, I am a doctor in the Dim Light Courtyard. You can come to me anytime if you feel unwell."

【Wow, Jiang Bao~~~】

[I remember calling her "Mo Bao" all the time, but now I don't even know who the other person is.]

【What other one? Who is that?】

[I can't explain it to you. Be quiet. Someone explain to me why Feng Jin called me "Bao" right away.]

I can also call you "Baby".

【Baby!!!】

【Why! ! ! 】

Jiang Jiu helped Bai E up and nodded to Feng Jin.

"Thank you for your kindness, Feng Jin. Bai E seems to have recovered almost completely. I need to see him about something, so I'll be leaving now."

Tibao asked, puzzled, "Is Xiao Jiu looking for Xiao Bai? Are they going to talk about it at the Genesis Vortex?"

Jiang Jiu paused in his steps.

He smiled somewhat awkwardly: "The core of creation...is it really appropriate for me to go?"

Tibo tilted her head, not understanding Jiang Jiu's meaning.

"Xiao Jiu is already a friend. Aya just hasn't had a chance to tell you yet, but that doesn't mean she won't let you come."

"I see."

Jiang Jiu leaned close to Bai E's ear and said, "Where is it appropriate for Xi Lian to say this?"

Bai E was stunned for a moment.

"...Let's find a quiet place. Um, Teacher Tibo, we have something to do, so we'll be leaving now. And you, Wan Di, we'll fight again next time!"

Wan Di: "...Boring."

Bai E led Jiang Jiu to a sparsely populated place and asked anxiously, "How do you know Xi Lian?"

Jiang Jiu shook his head.

"I don't know. Do you know where she is?"

Bai E: "..."

Bai E remained silent for a few seconds before sitting down on the stone steps.

"Xi Lian...she...a long time ago..."

Jiang Jiu's lips twitched.

That's it, there's no chance now.

Jiang Jiu sat quietly next to Bai E and listened to him tell some stories about his childhood.

It's called a story, but it's really just a bunch of scattered things about the tragic secret.

Xi Lian knew Bai E when he was a child, but the Black Tide drowned Ai Li Mi Xie, so his memories of Xi Lian were forever left in the past.

"I'm sorry, Bai'er, I didn't mean to bring this up."

Bai E shook his head.

Although he hasn't let go of the past, he remains rational.

"Jiang Jiu, you seem to know us very well. Why? And why are you looking for Xi Lian...?"

Jiang Jiu remained silent for two seconds.

He looked at Bai E, unsure of what to say.

He can't exactly say, "You're all just a bunch of data running in a scepter, and right now you're using hatred to nurture a doomed monarch. The program is currently bugged by your future self, and Xi Lian is the key to it, right?"

That's a bit too cruel.

What Caiuslan knows doesn't mean that Bai'er can easily accept it.

“Savior.” Jiang Jiu looked at Bai E and asked hesitantly, “If… I mean if the future is a thousand times, ten thousand times more cruel than you imagine, would you be afraid?”

Bai E was taken aback for a moment.

Then he laughed and said, "What's there to be afraid of? No matter what the future holds, or what the end will be like, I will never be afraid before dawn."

Even if the road ahead is dark, I will light it up.
