Chapter 430 Factions (1/2)
Many minutes before Senior Bai went to meet Yuan and shortly after he'd spoken with Zhu Yuying, Senior Bai was sitting around a large round table with eight other individuals.
”What's the matter, Elder Bai?” One of the individuals there asked him after noticing that he'd suddenly spaced out.
”A little something,” he said before turning to look at the goddess sitting at the other side of the table and continuing to speak, ”I have been told that 'he' has returned to the Myriad of Techniques.”
”He?”
Everyone in the room raised their eyebrows in a puzzled manner.
Even the goddess looked confused, so Senior Bai explained, ”Do you remember that talk I had with you not long ago? That I'd met 'him' at my store?”
The goddess immediately stood up from her seat when she realized what Senior Bai was talking about, and this startled the others, as they usually don't see her act in such a manner.
When Senior Bai saw her reaction, he said with a smile, ”Should we take a break from the meeting? We've been at it for a while now.”
Everybody there turned to look at the goddess.
”Let's take a break,” she said.
And she continued, ”Elder Bai, I would like to get a breath of fresh air.”
”I know just the place.” Senior Bai said with a smile on his face.
He then retrieved some sort of device before tossing it on the floor, creating a portal that was shaped like a door.
And without saying anything, the goddess began walking towards the portal, entering it a moment later.
”What is going on, Elder Bai?” The other seven individuals there asked him.
However, he merely shook his head and said, ”I don't dare to say it. If you really want to know, ask her yourself.”
The people there exchanged looks with each other. Ask the goddess? As curious as they were, none of them wanted to unnecessarily stick their noses in her business, as they might make her angry, and nobody there wanted to see that.
”I will be back.” Senior Bai then said to them before entering the portal as well.
The portal closed after Senior Bai entered it.
On the other side of the portal that led them to another dimension, the goddess had been waiting for Senior Bai.
”What took you so long? Let's go,” she said to him in a seemingly impatient manner.
Senior Bai smiled and said, ”Is this what you look like when you're excited? I don't think I have seen you like this before—” Senior Bai forcefully closed his mouth when he saw the dangerous look the goddess was giving him.
”Let's go,” he said with a bittersweet smile before flying to the hovering platform a few minutes away from their location.
Once they got close, they were able to see a masked figure standing on the platform and seemingly admiring the scenery, and he was emitting a profound aura that was similar to dragons.
