Chapter 385: 195 Nanjiang Shuangxiong, Li Light Saber! Star Water Sect!_2

Dr. Wu Ling spoke with an air of goodwill.

Bai Xiao nodded imperceptibly, showing no further enthusiasm or friendliness. This was, after all, a transaction: he was to escort Dr. Wu Ling to the Mo Yun Group headquarters in Yunzhou City, and the Mo Yun Group would provide points and rewards.

It was a cold, detached relationship, void of any emotion but utterly reliable. To Bai Xiao, it was a chance to earn a bit extra on the way.

"Now that it’s 7:30, let’s set off."

"We aim to arrive in Yunzhou City by about 1 p.m."

Zhu Ye glanced at his watch before speaking.

Straight away, Dr. Wu Ling left the office to fetch her things. About five minutes later, she returned, followed by two men who looked like bodyguards.

One wore short sleeves, his arms muscular and strong. His hair was black and shiny, and the temples neatly trimmed, giving him a sharp and vigorous look, and his broad eyebrows were marred only by a scar near his eye that added an unintentional fierceness. The other was also in black short sleeves, slim and with a round baby face.

Qin Fei and Xu Dong, always on guard to protect Dr. Wu Ling, were equipped with special models of Armor, incorporating the latest technology. In some critical moments, they could burst forth with power, instantly achieving the energy level of Wing-level Armor!

Of course, they still couldn’t compare to a real Wing-level.

Another five minutes passed.

The underground parking lot of the Mo Yun Group’s branch office.

An armored Cloud Whale series luxury sedan opened its doors.

Dr. Wu Ling and the other three emerged from the elevator.

"Commissioner Bai Xiao, Dr. Wu Ling has a whole set of emergency plans in case of danger. You can take a look now, so we can coordinate better later. Otherwise, if we encounter an emergency and our communication and understanding are flawed, it could lead to security negligence and potentially put Dr. Wu Ling in an unnecessary crisis," said the baby-faced guard named Xu Dong, handing over a stack of documents to Bai Xiao with a frosty demeanor.

The tone of his voice was neither high nor low but carried a hint of command. It seemed Dr. Wu Ling held a significant position within the Mo Yun Group, powerful enough for her bodyguards to be very confident.

Bai Xiao, however, was not angered but took the documents expressionlessly.

The four of them got into the car.

Qin Fei drove while Bai Xiao sat in the passenger seat.

Dr. Wu Ling and Xu Dong sat in the back, with the latter tasked with protection.

The car started, and its potent engine hummed softly.

A few seconds later.

A black Light Saber burst out of the underground parking and headed towards the exterior.

On the roads of Huaisui City,

Bai Xiao, sitting in the passenger seat, set the stack of documents aside and then crossed his arms and closed his eyes to rest.

In the backseat, the baby-faced Xu Dong frowned slightly as he peered into the rear-view mirror.

"This person..."

His first impression of Bai Xiao was one of reclusiveness and sloppiness, with a careless demeanor that irked Xu Dong.

Dr. Wu Ling was a crucial researcher for the Mo Yun Group, highly regarded even by the company’s top-level executives. Recently, it seemed that the Evolutionary Realm had started investigating the Biological Armor series development plan led by Dr. Wu Ling. With assistance from Heavenly God Company, they obtained extensive detailed information and seemed intent on either killing or abducting Dr. Wu Ling.

Therefore, it was imperative for Dr. Wu Ling’s trip to Yunzhou City to remain confidential to avoid harassment and attacks from those mad dogs of the Evolutionary Realm.

"This Bai Xiao seems unreliable. I’m afraid when we come across any real danger, it will fall to me and Qin Fei to act," thought the baby-faced Xu Dong internally. "Given that, I’ll keep some of our cards and plans close to the chest. We can rely on ourselves just as easily..."

In the front seat, Bai Xiao genuinely appeared leisurely.

With the car window half-open, gusts of early morning breeze brushed against his face, stirring his hair and carrying fresh scents of earth and moisture.

The baby-faced Xu Dong in the backseat felt Bai Xiao was indifferent and not quite serious about the mission. Indeed, Bai Xiao didn’t need to be serious.

Strength was all that mattered!

What good is the most diligent guard without power? To throw oneself in front of the attacker with eyes red, only to be punched through in the end?

To lie dying on the ground, watching the attacker take the target away?

Bai Xiao’s strength was the very reason for his nonchalant attitude.

After all, the Evolutionary Realm would need to deploy a Biological Armor an entire tier above the Wing-level Armor to succeed against Bai Xiao. And such Elite Armors, of truly top-tier fighting force, would not be mobilized for just one Mo Yun Group researcher.

Moreover, Bai Xiao seemed relaxed, but his recently mastered Heart’s Eye was constantly passively monitoring the surroundings.

With his eyes closed, Bai Xiao was far more attuned to the environment than the ever-vigilant Qin Fei and Xu Dong; he could detect danger instantly.

When comparing the two sides,

who really was slacking off?

...

Time slowly ticked by.

On the highway from Huaisui City to Yunzhou City, a black Cloud Whale series car glided smoothly and swiftly forward, never stopping once. Xu Dong sighed in relief; almost four hours had passed, and they hadn’t encountered anyone from Heavenly God Company or the Evolutionary Realm. It was as if Dr. Wu Ling’s movements had been kept completely secret.
