Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 3060 - 3080: Foster Father!

"Trustworthy, off you go."

Lin Chen readily agreed, not uttering a word of threat.

The way out was already offered to Bai Manmei, if she truly wished to die, nothing could be done about it, especially since Bai Manmei had many opportunities to leak information should she have wanted to keep Lin Chen and the others here.

Throughout the journey, Bai Manmei had gone to the Mercenary Association alone more than once; if she wanted to sell out, she would have done so long ago.

Although Lin Chen had only just heard the specific details of the guardians of the Demon Saint Valley, he already had a preliminary plan in his mind.

The Demon Saint Valley could only be outwitted, not forcefully attacked!

Since there was a Quasi-Saint guarding it, any conflict would attract the powerhouses of the Demon God Temple. The only option was to lure the tiger away from the mountain, distract the Quasi-Saint, then dealing with the remaining Demon Lord powerhouses would be much simpler.

To lure the tiger away from the mountain, it was necessary to find out the specific information about this Quasi-Saint, to understand what information could make them hastily leave their post.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles!

Bai Manmei left quietly, and Lin Chen concealed himself in the wilderness, silently waiting. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

...

In the dusk, Bai Manmei, her face covered with a hood, entered the city. Looking at the familiar scenes, complex emotions flickered in her eyes.

This was where the headquarters of the Mercenary Association was located, and also where she had grown up since childhood.

She didn’t go back to the headquarters of the Mercenary Association but instead headed toward the northern part of the city.

In a seemingly large but rather old courtyard, a White-haired Elder was sweeping the entrance. Seeing Bai Manmei, joy appeared on his face.

"Miss?"

Bai Manmei didn’t remove her hood, simply responding with a light hum, "Mm."

The White-haired Elder’s face beamed with happiness as he put away his broom and hurriedly opened the slightly ajar gate fully.

Bai Manmei walked through the gate, her gaze sweeping over the Courtyard in front, filled with a sense of nostalgia.

This was where she had grown up. After growing up, she rarely returned here, only coming back quietly on some special occasions.

"Is foster father here?"

The White-haired Elder replied, "He is, but he has always been in the back yard, haven’t seen him for a long time."

Joy appeared in Bai Manmei’s eyes, which then turned into hesitation.

If she really went to ask him, would she implicate him in this? Betraying the Demon Race, helping the Human Clan infiltrate the Forbidden Land and steal the treasures of the Demon Race, the crime was enough to annihilate a clan!

She could run away, but would that drag him into this?

As Bai Manmei hesitated, a steady voice suddenly sounded in her mind.

"You’re back, why stand at the entrance? Come to the back yard."

Bai Manmei was startled, pursed her lips, and took a deep breath.

She strode directly across the front yard, following the slightly neglected Bluestone Path to the back yard.

The gate to the back yard was locked. With one step, she soared into the air, floating over the wall and landing inside.

Following the path for a bit, a mist appeared before her, the concealment Array Formation of the back yard.

Having come here countless times, she knew the way well.

Passing through the fog, the view cleared, revealing a spacious room with its door wide open. A Middle-aged man was lying on a Chair, eyes closed, as if asleep.

Bai Manmei approached the Middle-aged man and respectfully greeted, "Foster father."

The Middle-aged man slowly opened his eyes, his gaze settling on Bai Manmei. After a while, he asked, "Why have you suddenly come back?"

Bai Manmei’s expression hesitated; her foster father was very clever, once she spoke out, this matter was likely to be exposed.

If she didn’t have some aim regarding the Demon Saint Valley, who would deliberately inquire about the guardians of the Demon Saint Valley?

But if there were one person who could tell her this information, it was the man before her.

What would foster father do?

Would he choose righteousness over kinship?

Would he act as if he had never seen her?

The Middle-aged man watched Bai Manmei with calm eyes, not urging her, simply waiting quietly.

Seconds later, a smile appeared on Bai Manmei’s face, "I haven’t been back for a long time, just wanted to see foster father."

Never mind, I’ll just say I didn’t find out anything when I go back.

Although hardly anyone knew of her relationship with her foster father, it was still possible that he could be implicated.

The Middle-aged man showed a faint smile, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why beat around the bush... Speak!"

The last word of the Middle-aged man was decisive, carrying an irresistibly commanding tone.

Bai Manmei’s expression shifted slightly, and she responded instinctively, "I want to inquire about some information, but I’m afraid of causing trouble for foster father."

The Middle-aged man’s eyes narrowed slightly, "There’s no third person here, you can say anything. What do you want to ask?"

Bai Manmei spoke softly, "I’m looking to find out about the Demon Saint Valley."

The gaze in the Middle-aged man’s eyes seemed to flash with a sharp blade, "Specifically?"

Bai Manmei bit her lip, not daring to meet the Middle-aged man’s gaze, "I know the Demon Saint Valley is a Forbidden Land, guarded by a Quasi-Saint and a group of Demon Lords. I want to ask, who is the Quasi-Saint currently guarding the Demon Saint Valley?"
