Bai Jing sat up straight, looked at Lin Wu, and said, "This trip to Lingnan was originally a covert one. We tried to keep a low profile to prevent being noticed by the outside world or those who shouldn't know about it. So far, whether it's me or the Huo family members in the archaeological team, we have tried not to make a big noise if possible."
"If we really come into conflict with the people from the Thirty-Six Villages, not only will it be troublesome, but it will also most likely get out of hand. With your and my identities, the situation will be very difficult, and we will become a thorn in their side. It's not worth it and it's difficult to resolve."
No matter how he thought about it, Bai Kyoto felt that it was not possible.
It would be of no benefit to them to go against the people from the local thirty-six villages.
Lin Wu suddenly said, "It's not that bad yet."
Bai Jing: "What do you mean?"
Lin Wu rolled up his sleeves and showed them to Bai Jing.
Bai Jing was puzzled. He took a casual glance and paused immediately.
Lin Wu had a bracelet similar to hair wrapped around her straight, white wrist, with a special bell hanging on it.
Bai Jing was sure that Lin Wu did not have it on her when she left.
"This..." Bai Jing understood instantly, "Did you get it during your trip to the back mountain this time?"
Lin Wu nodded, "To some extent, it is related to the Thirty-Six Villages."
Bai Jing was stunned, "What do you mean? What have you been through?"
Lin Wu did not hide anything and told Bai Jing in detail how he accidentally entered Mochuan's retreat and got to know him, and then was taken to his forbidden residence, and met the leader of Guhui Village and others.
Bai Jing was confused at first, but as he listened, his expression began to change. Finally, he looked at Lin Wu with a subtle look and spoke uncertainly.
"You mean, not only did you not get to any of the places you were supposed to go, and you didn't find any of the anomalies you were supposed to find, but you also wasted a whole day and night on a weird man, who insisted on taking you in as his apprentice, and in the end gave you your own hair as a bracelet?"
Lin Wu nodded.
"Do you think I will believe such nonsense? What kind of man would insist on taking you as his disciple just because of the word fate?" Bai Jing said, stroking his chin.
Lin Wu: “It’s true!”
Bai Jing drew out an "oh" and summarized, "What you experienced is true. In other words, during this day and night that I was worried about you, were you having an affair?"
“…………”
Lin Wu's expression suddenly became blank.
She stretched out her hand and gestured, then clenched her fist in the air and said, "You should know that my hand can touch your face right now."
Bai Jing looked calm and took out his cell phone to take a picture of Lin Wu's hand.
Lin Wu had a bad feeling: "What are you doing?"
Bai Jing said naturally: "Keep the evidence and take it out when I threaten you to do something for me in the future. If you don't obey, I will send it to the man named Bo."
Lin Wu reached out to grab it reflexively.
Bai Jing anticipated this and immediately leaned back, hooking his toes on the table leg to leverage it to stay suspended in mid-air, preventing himself and the chair from falling to the ground.
She raised her eyebrows and said, "Of course you can grab it and delete it now, but I will definitely succeed in clicking send before you grab it. Oh, I don't have your boyfriend's WeChat, no problem, I have Xu Xianhuai's. I heard that he is very happy to see your boyfriend's fun."
Lin Wu: “…”
Lin Wu sat back, smiled sinisterly, and delivered a fatal blow: "I forgot to tell you, this is what I asked my master for on your behalf."
Bai Jing paused.
Lin Wu crossed his legs and said slowly, "Tell me, will Bo Ning listen to me? Will he believe that I asked for you, or that my master gave it to you on his own initiative?"
"You never lie."
"Exceptions can be made."
Bai Jing: “…………”
Bai Jing sat back and deleted the message without saying a word, then got back to business: "OK, so what you mean is that with a master like you who seems to have a high status here, the people of the Thirty-Six Villages will be more polite and respectful to you. So even if you go to their place, they won't reject or get angry. They will just think that you are waiting for your master to go in, and maybe check if there is any problem with that place."
"Correspondingly, the Huo family, the archaeological team, and the other group of people will not be treated the same way as you. Their situations are much more troublesome than yours. In this case, you'd better not stand out. Try to make the Huo family members exposed and enter the eyes of the Thirty-Six Villages, and then provoke disputes between them, so that you can reap the benefits."
Lin Wu smiled and reminded, "How can it be just me? There is also you. After all, my master's bracelet was given to you. If you have this thing, the people in the Thirty-Six Villages will treat you as my master and be very polite to you. Don't you think so?"
Bai Jing covered his ears and kept silent.
After she finished speaking, he put down his hand and pretended that they were discussing something.
"Okay, let's do it."
"But how to get them to reveal themselves is a problem. After all, they are not stupid enough to take the initiative to get into trouble."
"How about this——"
Bai Jing looked at Lin Wu seriously and said, "You should take the initiative to contact them. When Bo Ning comes back, we can at least confirm whether one of them is from the Huo family. If they are, you can take the initiative to find their leader, cooperate with them, and enter the Thirty-Six Villages together openly. After you enter, the people from the Thirty-Six Villages will not be there, so you should focus on achieving your goal and finding out what the Huo family is going to do."
"Once you are done, when you leave, anonymously notify the people of the Thirty-Six Villages to come over and let them find the Huo family. Then you can escape unscathed. At worst, you can say that they forced you to lead the way. Anyway, you have such a master, and the people of the Thirty-Six Villages will believe you. In this way, the Huo family and the Thirty-Six Villages will become enemies, and you can solve it without any effort."
"How about it?"
In fact, this was the method Lin Wu had just thought of.
She did not bring any manpower with her this time when she came to Lingnan. Her initial thought was to stir up conflict between the two parties so that she could reap the benefits. When the conflict was resolved, she would be perfectly invisible and not be discovered by any party, and thus escape unscathed.
But how to provoke a dispute became a headache for her.
Unexpectedly, after just this trip, she found a way and a reason, and unexpectedly discovered that if she could use the people from the Thirty-Six Villages, she would have a better chance of winning.
Lin Wu said: "Not only the Huo family, but also the archaeological team and another group of people. We can get them involved. The more chaotic the better."
"How about this, tomorrow morning, you go contact the archaeological team, and I'll contact the other group. If we can reach a cooperation, that would be the best. But don't mention cooperation to them for now."
Lin Wu's eyes flashed.
"All this can only work if we are watching the same place, which is the Thirty-Six Villages. I have to confirm this first."
Bai Jing asked, "How do you want to be sure?"
Lin Wu raised his eyebrows slightly. "By the way, Zheng Yuan should have a result. It's okay, no rush. We can wait until Bo Ning comes back."
Bai Jing nodded, got up, and said seriously: "Okay, it's getting late, I should go back to bed."
"What's the hurry?"
Lin Wu waved his hand with a half-smile: "I have good intentions. I don't want to let you down. Just accept this first, and it won't be too late to leave. Wait, I will take it off for you, and it will definitely be intact when it reaches your hands."
“…”
Bai Jing deadpanned, “You’re so childish.”
"Oh. So which hand are you going to wear it on?"
“…………”
Bai Jing turned around and walked away very quickly.
The door slammed shut and Lin Wu snorted.
Fight her? Childish.
