Chapter 25 The treacherous Baiyun City (2)
"Is there anything new happening outside recently?" During the meal, Su Tan chatted with Village Chief Chen.
Su Tan didn't like eating with strangers. Village Chief Chen was one of the few village chiefs who could sit down and watch him eat and chat.
Su Tan does not intend to go out and participate in various struggles, but that does not mean that he will turn a deaf ear to everything.
He is used to knowing what major events are happening outside, so that he can have a general idea of the weather vane.
This kind of habit is good for whether you want to go out or not.
If there is any trouble outside, Village Chief Chen is also willing to talk to Su Tan to relieve Su Tan's loneliness and open his eyes to what it is like outside.
"Recently...nothing serious has happened...the white wolf disappeared inexplicably. In various towns and villages, the monsters that accompanied the white wolf before disappeared overnight. It's true that nothing happened." Village Chief Chen said.
Su Tan unconsciously touched the little wolfdog in her arms...
Everyone is saying that if the white wolf disappears, it must have returned to the depths of the primeval forest, otherwise it would be impossible to disappear.
But... Su Tan is the only one who knows where that thing went.
Here~
Isn't it the one in my arms?
That's right, the white wolf that appeared in various villages and towns not long ago, the monster that made people panic, was the little puppy in his arms.
Who would have thought of this?
As for the other monsters that hurt people, they were all subordinates of the white wolf. In order to protect the white wolf from harm, they took action to deal with the group of humans who entered the forest to hunt the white wolf.
Su Tan didn't want to comment on that matter.
It's all just to survive.
The dead...are helpless.
However, there will no longer be incidents of White Wolf's subordinates hurting people in the future, because of Su Tan.
White Wolf is no longer threatened by humans, and Su Tan will not let monsters kill villagers indiscriminately.
"It's good to go back!" Su Tan said.
You can only fool around.
"Apart from the White Wolf incident, there is only the matter involving the old man of the Xu family..." Village Chief Chen said.
"Hey... The Xu family has always been very kind to their tenants. I really hope he can be safe and sound."
Su Tan could tell from Village Chief Chen's words that the Xu family was indeed popular in this area.
Even if some of the Xu family's slaves are not friendly, it will not affect everyone's evaluation of the Xu family.
From this, it can be seen that the Xu family is indeed not evil.
"But it's really strange. Logically speaking... Mr. Xu has a serious health problem... The Xu family should keep it a secret. How come everyone knows about it?" Village Chief Chen said.
"Oh? What's the point?" Su Tan asked.
"Baiyun City and a city near Baiyun City are not the only big force like the Xu family. It can be said that as long as the neighboring forces, whether they are families or sects, there is overt or covert competition, to put it nicely , It’s competition, to put it bluntly, it’s actually a relationship between enemies. After all, there are only so many resources within the scope of one’s own jurisdiction. Who doesn’t want to eat more and get more?” Village Chief Chen talked eloquently.
"Since we are enemies, of course I know that you are doing well. I can't sleep or eat well. Knowing that you are not doing well, then I feel at ease..." Su Tan said.
This... is actually similar to some business competitions.
It's not like Su Tan has never been exposed to intrigues and intrigues.
"Yes, that's right!" Village Chief Chen responded and then said:
"What you said is very good. That's exactly what it is. If other forces know that there is something wrong with the old man of the Xu family, what they will definitely not do is care and greet him, and they will definitely not help Mr. Xu find a famous doctor to save his life. Instead, they will take the opportunity to devour him. The Xu family’s resources and interests!
Adding insult to injury to the enemy is a pleasant thing! "
"So, there is a big problem with the old man of the Xu family!" Village Chief Chen said.
"Maybe... it's a conspiracy!"
Su Tan said nothing and listened quietly.
Another world…
It was indeed dangerous. Before he even walked out of this small courtyard, he could already smell the smell of... conspiracy everywhere.
He doesn't want to leave the small courtyard at the moment. Firstly, it is inconvenient to be blind. Secondly... he knows too little about this world... and has no experience in dealing with strange things in other worlds.
Not to mention that with the white wolf and the system, you can do whatever you want.
Bai Lang's cultivation is indeed quite powerful, but it is only limited to a country like Tianxiang. He went out...to dominate Tianxiang, and then what?
Can he handle a bigger enemy?
cannot!
Who knows how many powerful monsters there are outside Tianxiang?
Now he only needs to face some trivial matters in life. Those more powerful enemies have their own Tianxiang...or Tianxiang's protection power, and his life is leisurely and peaceful.
Isn’t it bad?
As for the system…
Su Tan doesn't think that he can be invincible just because he has the system!
According to the basic plot trend of the novels he read in his previous life, every time the protagonist reaches a certain level of strength, there will only be enemies corresponding to him, who are not many levels higher than him at most, to play with the protagonist. This kind of thing... is actually extremely unreasonable. .
Even in the game, you can meet the king in the bronze round. Why does every protagonist meet a super strong person in reality?
A strong man who can kill the protagonist instantly?
For example, when the protagonist was still a little monk, why didn't a great emperor come over and slap the protagonist to death? Why do you have to wait for the protagonist to get up before coming over to PK?
Su Tan has an infinite equipment system, which is just an auxiliary, not a guarantee of his immortality...
If you encounter a strong person, you will still be killed.
Instead of going out to take risks, it is better to stay in this small piece of land and wait until you really feel qualified to go out and venture out.
Anyway, as long as he does not go out to Tianxiang now, Bailang can guarantee his safety.
…
"It is indeed unusual. I guess... it must be a spy from the Xu family who spread the news. Otherwise, the Xu family would not have revealed the matter of Mr. Xu themselves." Village Chief Chen said.
"Even if they are looking for strange people and things everywhere, they can conceal it and find an excuse to fool them. For example, they can just say that an important person in the Xu family has a problem and they need to find a way to treat it. As long as they don't say it is the old man, it will be fine!"
Village Chief Chen can say these things, and he is not without knowledge.
Su Tan can feel it when talking to him.
"Hey... I can feel that this time the Xu family... will have a big thing happen. If it is not handled in time... I am afraid that the sky of Baiyun City will change!"
Su Tan pondered...
He did not express his opinion, and Village Chief Chen did not know what he was thinking.
"The Xu family has always been very good to us tenants. If something really happens to the Xu family... I don't know if the next force that takes over Baiyun City will treat us like this... To be honest, I still hope that the Xu family is fine."
The Tianxiang Empire has an unspoken rule that it allows the forces within the empire to compete with each other and replace each other's positions... Although Su Tan doesn't understand the use of this weird competition, whether it is reasonable or not... but it really exists.
Hearing the concerns of the village chief, Su Tan smiled: "Village chief, don't worry, even if Baiyun City changes, it's okay, our Chenjia Village will still be like this!"
Village chief Chen didn't take Su Tan's words seriously, so he just smiled and didn't say anything.
I thought he was comforting him.
"Okay, you eat first... I'll go back first." Village chief Chen said.
"Then take care, village chief!"
