The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1061 - 1059: I Need a Name!

Chapter 1061: Chapter 1059: I Need a Name!

After Kang Shiyun saw Lin Bai off from the First Peak and had just returned to the Kang Family, she was summoned by Kang Xiao.

In the great hall where Kang Xiao was, the dim light failed to penetrate the darkness, and Kang Shiyun felt a deep chill as she entered, causing her to shiver involuntarily. She looked up at Kang Xiao, who was seated in the place of honor, his complexion somber and silent.

"I need a name,"

As soon as Kang Shiyun walked in, Kang Xiao spoke up in a cold voice.

"I don’t want to know the ins and outs of this matter, nor do I want to know what it has to do with Lin Bai!"

"I just need a name!"

"Who is it?"

In the darkness, Kang Xiao’s eyes glowed red like lanterns.

Kang Shiyun said, "When big brother wakes up, you can go ask him."

Kang Xiao said, "You know Yang’s temperament as well as I do; he would never tell me who hurt him!"

Kang Shiyun said, "If big brother won’t speak, I won’t either. We will take care of our own grudges."

"Does it have anything to do with Kang Yuhai?" Kang Xiao asked after a long silence.

"No," Kang Shiyun shook her head and said.

"All right."

After hearing this, Kang Xiao acknowledged with a word and waved his hand for Kang Shiyun to leave.

Once Kang Shiyun left the hall,

Kang Xiao called out with a gloomy face, "Qiu Hao!"

Swish—

A black shadow suddenly materialized in the hall, bowing respectfully to Kang Xiao.

"Investigate!"

"I need a name," Kang Xiao said coldly.

"Yes, master!" the shadow responded and turned to leave the hall.

After everyone left, Kang Xiao sat in the place of honor, his face grave as the waters, the blood-red glow flickering in his eyes. The corners of his mouth curled up with a sinister smile, and his whole being was like a venomous snake lurking in the darkness, eerie and terrifying!

...

Lin Bai had just stepped out of the First Peak and looked back, whispering to himself, "That’s right, Bai Xiaoxiao should be on the First Peak, but who knows where? How has she been doing lately?"

"Forget it, I will have to come back to the First Peak later anyway, no rush."

After pondering for a long time, Lin Bai directly left the First Peak.

He arrived at the Second Peak.

"To refine the Heaven Repairing Pill, a large amount of precious Spiritual Medicine is needed!"

"It’s utterly impossible for the Dan Dao Courtyard to go and purchase these for me again."

"Just so happens I’m now on the Five Peaks; let’s see where I can find Spiritual Medicine for sale."

Lin Bai lowered his head, thinking things over.

The Spiritual Medicines needed to refine the Heaven Repairing Pill were all exceedingly precious.

Originally, the Dan Dao Courtyard had also purchased many Spiritual Medicines from the Five Peaks to barely manage to refine a Heaven Repairing Pill!

Lin Bai had just arrived at the Second Peak when he saw a group of people walking towards him.

"Well, well, isn’t this our Junior Brother who went to explore the Seven Stars ruins? How come you are back so soon?" one of the warriors among the group sneered upon seeing Lin Bai.

Lost in thought, Lin Bai heard this remark and slightly looked up.

In the middle of this group of people, the warrior who spoke was none other than Dou Ning!

By Dou Ning’s side were Jian Ruohan, Yejian Qiu, and others.

Seeing Lin Bai, Jian Ruohan’s expression brightened, and he asked, "Lin Bai, have you returned from the Seven Stars ruins?"

Lin Bai smiled faintly, "Yes, I’m back."

Dou Ning said with a sarcastic laugh, "Junior Brother, with your Heaven-reaching abilities, you must have gained a lot from the Seven Stars ruins. Why don’t you show us the treasures you’ve obtained, to broaden our horizons?"

Dou Ning sneered inwardly. He knew Lin Bai had gone to the Seven Stars ruins, but in his heart, he thought that with Lin Bai’s cultivation at the Third Level of the Earth Elixir Realm at that time, it was unlikely he had found anything of value even if he had gone to the ruins.

Moreover, there was a group of Great Demons and Spiritual Children, how could Lin Bai possibly snatch food from the tiger’s mouth?

Having gone to the Seven Stars ruins, in Dou Ning’s eyes, it was a wasted trip for Lin Bai, being able to return alive was already a stroke of immense luck.

Lin Bai glanced at Dou Ning but didn’t bother with him, turning to Jian Ruohan he asked, "Ruohan, do you know where on the Second Peak one can buy Spiritual Medicine?"

"Yes, Tianbao Tower has its headquarters at Miracle Ridge, right on the Second Peak," Jian Ruohan said softly. "As it happens, we are also heading to Tianbao Tower to sell some items. Shall we go together?"

At this moment, Yejian Qiu stepped forward and said, "We went to a relic and obtained some rare ores and Spiritual Medicine, and were planning to sell them at Tianbao Tower, save some points, and then head to the Heavenly Pearl Secret Realm."

"You’re also going to Tianbao Tower; that’s good, then let’s go together," Lin Bai said with a light smile.

Lin Bai was startled, Jian Ruohan and Yejian Qiu also knew about the Heavenly Pearl Secret Realm.

Lin Bai inwardly smiled bitterly: Surely, he wasn’t very sociable, preferring to act alone, which resulted in him being unaware of too much information on the Five Peaks. Jian Ruohan and Yejian Qiu went out with Dou Ning, and that Dou Ning had been mingling on the Five Peaks for many years, after all, he knew the Five Peaks very well...

The group set off for Tianbao Tower.

Tianbao Tower held significant importance atop the Second Peak, where many disciples liked to come to buy and sell items.

Upon arriving inside Tianbao Tower:

Tianbao Tower was always packed with people every single day.

"Junior Brother?"

As soon as Lin Bai stepped into Tianbao Tower, a joyous exclamation echoed in his ears.

Hearing this voice, which was extremely familiar, Lin Bai looked up to see a seductive woman in a cheongsam outlining a perfect figure, her red lips smiling as she approached Lin Bai.

As she walked over, all the male disciples inside Tianbao Tower stared, dumbstruck.

"Oh my God!"

"When did such an unparalleled beauty come to Tianbao Tower?"

"She’s so beautiful!"

"Mad, are they selling this woman in Tianbao Tower? No matter the cost, I’d go broke to buy her!"

The eyes of many warriors around her couldn’t move away the moment they saw her.

Including Dou Ning and the others, it was the same for them.

Seeing this woman, Lin Bai greeted with a smile, "Sister Su, long time no see."

This woman was none other than Su Xianmei, who Lin Bai had known for a long time.

Su Xianmei took delicate steps and came next to Lin Bai, chuckling, "You little rascal, I didn’t expect you to come to the Five Peaks so quickly. I thought you would stay in the Nine Courtyards for a while longer."

"This isn’t a good place to talk. Follow me to a private room," she said.

Seeing herself become the center of attention throughout the hall, Su Xianmei gave an amused smile and, without saying a word, led Lin Bai toward the private room.

"Lin Bai!" Jian Ruohan called out to Lin Bai.

"Sister Su, they are my friends, can they come along too?" Lin Bai looked towards Jian Ruohan and then said to Su Xianmei.

"Of course," Su Xianmei replied with a smile.

Afterward, Jian Ruohan, Yejian Qiu, Dou Ning, and several other warriors from Dou Ning’s team went to the private room together with Lin Bai and Su Xianmei.

"You little rascal, coming to the Five Peaks and not thinking to look for your sister first?" Su Xianmei said somewhat reproachfully, once in the private room.

Lin Bai offered an embarrassed smile, "I didn’t even know Sister Su was on the Five Peaks; if I did, I would naturally have visited."

Su Xianmei looked at Lin Bai, her gaze holding a hint of indulgence.

This look made Jian Ruohan, who saw it from the side, have a frost appear on her pretty face,

While Yejian Qiu simply gave a speechless smile, paying it no more attention.

At that moment, Dou Ning stood up and called out to Su Xianmei, "Ma’am, my name is Dou Ning, a disciple of the Five Peaks. May I ask if you are part of Tianbao Tower’s staff? I have some treasures here that I’d like to sell?"

Smiling, Su Xianmei asked, "What treasures would you like to sell?"

A smug smile crossed Dou Ning’s face, "Nothing much, just a few Nine-grade Spirit Tools and several strains of Spiritual Medicine that are thirty thousand years old..."

When he said this, his face showed a deep smugness.

These items were among the most precious they found in the Four-star Relics, and selling them could yield hundreds of thousands of points!

Especially since Dou Ning knew that Lin Bai absolutely couldn’t produce so many fine items.

What a pity that Dou Ning didn’t know, Su Xianmei was Tianbao Tower’s Inspector Envoy, having traversed the north and south of the Barbaric Ancient Continent, her experience with treasures far surpassed the amount of food Dou Ning had ever eaten. The Nine-grade Spirit Tools and thirty thousand-year-old Spiritual Medicine that Dou Ning thought were very precious, to Su Xianmei, weren’t even worth a second look!
