Chapter 173: One Step Ahead



"What are you doing?"

Bai Xiaofei stretched lazily and walked to Lin Yao's side.

After hearing Bai Xiaofei's shout, Lin Yao immediately turned around and looked over.

"Brother Xiaofei, you finally woke up. The wounds on my body healed so quickly, it must be you who did it, right? You are really amazing. I don't know what secrets you have hidden in your body. For example, the move you just used, I really want to learn it..."

Lin Yao looked at Bai Xiaofei expectantly.

Bai Xiaofei didn't know whether he should agree to Lin Yao or not. He still had to ask the God of Books what he thought!

Pretending not to hear Lin Yao's question, Bai Xiaofei looked towards the stream beside him.

"Are you planning to make dinner? I don't know if there's anything delicious in this creek. Why don't we hurry on and walk for a while to see if there's any place nearby where we can buy something delicious. We can buy it then."

"OK!"

Lin Yao readily agreed, then immediately turned around to pack his few luggage and followed Bai Xiaofei.

Bai Xiaofei led Lin Yao across the turbulent river on the gravel road and came to the other side.

It's very close to town.

Because Bai Xiaofei was standing on the ground, he could vaguely hear shouting coming from a hundred meters away.

He felt confident and went straight there with Lin Yao.

Sure enough! After climbing over trees as tall as people, they arrived at the town’s food court.

Bai Xiaofei immediately went to the bank's ATM and took out a few hundred yuan, then took Lin Yao to the side and ordered two bowls of wontons and some sizzling barbecue.

"You sit here. I'm going to call the Ximen family. We must tell them what happened in the past two days. Otherwise, if they don't know, it will be difficult for them to deal with it if they are deceived by our illusions again."

"good."

Lin Yao nodded immediately and watched Bai Xiaofei leave.

Bai Xiaofei pulled the mask on his face, went to a convenience store next door, borrowed a landline from the owner, and called Ximen Mako first.

Because it was a landline number, Ximen Zhenzi initially thought it was a harassing call and hung up directly!

Bai Xiaofei didn't get tired of fighting until the third time.

Ximen Zhenzi then shouted in an unhappy tone: "What are you doing? If you want to sell me something, I have to tell you that I have no intention of buying your stuff. You'd better not call me again, otherwise I will follow the clues and find you and destroy your nest."

Ximen Mako's tone was filled with dissatisfaction and anger.

It sounded so powerful that Bai Xiaofei instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately it was different from what I had in my dream, otherwise it would have been too scary.

After Bai Xiaofei breathed a sigh of relief, he lowered his voice and said gently to Ximen Zhenzi: "Zhenzi, it's me."

After hearing Bai Xiaofei's voice, Ximen Zhenzi was obviously surprised for a moment.

She was stunned.

Then he was silent for a while, then asked in surprise: "Xiao Fei? Is that you?"

"It's me! I just went through a big battle. I wanted to tell you what happened first before continuing on our journey. Lin Yao and I came to the first town mentioned in the diary of the young lady, but we found nothing. So I wanted to borrow your phone to tell the elder so that you can be alert."

When Ximen Zhenzi heard that Bai Xiaofei didn't call to talk to her, she became angry again.

"You didn't call me for me! Xiaofei, you really make me feel disappointed!"

"You clearly promised me that you would never agree to the Great Elder again, but you went again. The Great Elder and I have already broken up because of this matter. I will not go to the Great Elder again unless you come back obediently!"

After going through so many things, Bai Xiaofei's personality has obviously become more stable.

He sighed helplessly.

"Be good, listen to me and hand the phone to the Great Elder!"

"This matter is very important. It concerns the safety of all members of the Ximen family." Bai Xiaofei's eyes became serious. Thinking of the last time the Ximen family was almost slaughtered, he felt that he could not bear it. "The Ximen family suffered a great loss last time! You don't want the Ximen family to be bullied again, do you?"

"Of course I don't! But I'm more worried about you..."

"I'm fine. I'll buy a new phone when I have some free time, and then we can video chat. That should give you peace of mind."

"That's more like it."

Ximen Mako's tone instantly became much gentler.

"Okay, in that case, then you should go find the Great Elder now, the sooner the better. I have something very important to tell the Great Elder."

"Are you in such a hurry?" Ximen Mako was a little reluctant.

I just started chatting with Bai Xiaofei, and I have to say goodbye to him before I even had a few words?

She doesn't want it!

"Yes, because this matter concerns the entire family, I have to be more vigilant. So Mako, cooperate with me."

"All right……"

There was a rustling sound coming from the other side.

Bai Xiaofei was waiting quietly, but out of the corner of his eye he saw a group of people waiting behind him, and the boss next to him was obviously a little impatient.

Bai Xiaofei immediately took out a red banknote and placed it in front of the proprietress.

The proprietress was blinded by the money and immediately asked the group of people behind her to leave. Then she returned to her seat and continued watching the drama quietly.

The voice of the great elder also came over there.

Bai Xiaofei then briefly told the Great Elder what was happening.

As expected.

The moment Bai Xiaofei finished speaking, the servant's voice came over.

"Great Elder, Mr. Bai and Mr. Lin are back!"

"Great Elder, it seems this is their plan. You must be careful. I know you will doubt my identity, but you have to think about it. Since I called you in advance, I should be fine! On the contrary, these two people must have thought that we were already dead when we were chased by the killer, so they dared to come here so openly. You must be careful."

"good."

After hurriedly hanging up the phone, Bai Xiaofei returned to Lin Yao.

He originally wanted to buy a mobile phone the next day, but the matters concerning the Great Elder were constantly on his mind.

Because he was too concerned about this matter, Bai Xiaofei could only eat two bites quickly and stood up immediately.

"Bai Xi! Wait here for me. I have something else to do."

"Okay..."

Bai Xiaofei ran forward anxiously, praying in his heart.

When he entered the street corner, he happened to see the owner of a mobile phone store pulling the switch.

"Wait a minute, boss, I want to buy a cell phone."
