Thinking about what he had just witnessed, Bai Rui suddenly felt inexplicably flustered.
"Yes, I was just now. I saw that the boss was busy, so I didn't dare to come in for a moment," Bai Rui steadied himself, raised his left eyebrow, and quickly explained why he had been leaning against the window earlier.
Hmph! You just want to see what other strength I have, don't think I don't know.
"I asked you how things are going?" Having let Bai Rui off the hook, Qianfo didn't continue what he had just said. However, although his voice wasn't loud, it was cold to the bone.
Seeing Qianfo ask this, Bai Rui secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly straightened his expression. "Boss was right. There is indeed a powerful figure behind this Boss Tong, and this person is extremely mysterious. Even though I personally went out and used all available resources these past few days to investigate thoroughly, searching almost the entire world, I still couldn't find this person. I, Bai Rui, am incompetent and have failed Boss's trust. Please punish me."
The air was somewhat stuffy; for a short time, it seemed so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
“Forget it,” Qianfo sighed, finally closing his eyes and letting out a soft sigh. “How could you possibly catch such a mysterious person so easily? Just by looking at Boss Tong’s murderous aura and his unyielding attitude, we can tell that this person is definitely not simple.” “Since you can’t find anything, it can only prove one thing: this person is very likely from another world. The mysteries of another world are unpredictable, and all sorts of people exist there, so the person we are facing is not a simple one.”
"That's true, but Boss Tong thinks he's the best in the world, and he doesn't even respect the boss. Are we just going to..."
"What do you mean by using these words to insult me?" Qianfo glared coldly at Bai Rui, his lips twitching slightly.
"No, I wouldn't dare," Bai Rui said, startled. "What's wrong with me today?" He quickly raised his hand and slapped himself twice on the face. He then kowtowed several times to Qianfo. "It was Bai Rui who was rash."
"Steward Bai, look at you today, what's wrong with you? I didn't say anything. Besides, if you hadn't taken me in, I might not be here anymore. So you're my savior. Now I consider you a brother, how could I blame you? We'll have many more opportunities to cooperate in the future." Qianfo said this expressionlessly, without a trace of a smile on his face.
However, the more he acted this way, the more confident Bai Rui felt. "How could I dare? The boss is a lucky man and is blessed by heaven. How could Bai Rui dare to take credit? I'm ashamed!"
Bai Rui's reaction pleased Qian Fo, who nodded. "It's best to be patient for now; the one who laughs best is the winner. Hmph! I'm afraid he won't be able to keep up this spree for long."
“Boss Tong is blind to talent; he’ll regret it later,” Bai Rui continued.
“We must be careful in everything we do, otherwise, we will have no chance to make a comeback and become the overlords here.” With a slight upward tilt of his slender eyes, Qianfo straightened his body. “We also need to learn to be patient before we act.”
"Boss, you are very insightful. I have learned a lot." He bowed forward, shook off the white floral headscarf that had fallen to his ear, and prostrated himself on the ground.
"Go ahead, the spirit item market still needs your management. You don't need to come over, I can go out by myself."
"Yes." Bai Rui supported himself with his hands and stood up. He didn't dare to look up for a moment. He just walked backwards until he reached the cave entrance and stepped out.
The sound of footsteps outside the cave, "thump, thump, thump!", quickly faded into the distance.
Thousand Buddha's entire body relaxed, then suddenly trembled, and "Pfft!" a mouthful of bloody liquid spurted from his mouth.
