Chapter 1578: Chapter 1575: Encounter with Su Xianmei Again

Half a day later, Lin Bai left Tianbao Tower.

After Lin Bai left, the Silk Rain went directly to the highest floor of Tianbao Tower, gently knocked on the door, and respectfully said, "Envoy, I have an important matter to discuss!"

"Come in." From inside the room, a cold female voice responded.

Silk Rain pushed the door and entered, only to see a room with an extremely enchanting and beautiful Qipao Woman, who, as always, was standing by the window, her tenderly fair hands holding a cup of aromatic tea.

"Envoy, you once said that you wanted to be informed of all matters concerning Dongfang Bai. Today, he visited Tianbao Tower again," Silk Rain said softly.

The Qipao Woman’s eyebrows lifted with interest as she asked, "What does he want to do? To purchase miraculous elixirs or cherished Divine Iron? But it seems he lacks neither of these two types of items."

Silk Rain replied respectfully, "Neither. He came to inquire about a person, and all he knows is this person’s name while being ignorant of anything else."

The Qipao Woman curiously asked, "What’s the name?"

"It’s a woman named Li Subai."

"And he said that he is willing to pay any price to get the news of this woman!" Silk Rain elaborated gently.

Crack—

As soon as Silk Rain finished speaking, the Qipao Woman’s teacup fell straight from her hands to the floor, shattering to pieces.

Seeing this, Silk Rain felt a surge of curiosity in her heart, wondering just who this "Li Subai" was to make Heaven-reaching Sword Sect’s Junior Sword Venerate care so much about her and cause the Inspector Envoy of Tianbao Tower to lose her composure and drop her teacup.

The Qipao Woman also noticed her own lapse and laughed lightly, "The winds in Haizhen City are getting stronger and stronger."

Silk Rain chuckled, "Isn’t that the truth? Tomorrow, the Top Martial Spirit Weapon Ranking will be announced, and the Divine Weapon Feast has reached its pinnacle stage. Nowadays, there is an abundance of masters within Haizhen City."

Upon hearing this, Silk Rain could certainly tell that the Qipao Woman intended to divert her thoughts, and not daring to anger her, Silk Rain simply continued along the same line of conversation.

"Arrange for Dongfang Bai to come see me after sunset, and tell him that there’s news about the person he’s been inquiring about," the Qipao Woman said with a slight smile.

"Understood."

Silk Rain responded softly, then exited the room.

The Qipao Woman turned and looked out the window towards Haizhen City, murmuring faintly, "Can’t you stay out of trouble for a bit?"

...

Lin Bai spent half a day in Tianbao Tower negotiating with Silk Rain, and she finally agreed to find information on Li Subai for Lin Bai. Only then did Lin Bai contently return to Silver Moon Commerce Association to wait.

In the branches of Tianbao Tower, one could often only gather news from around the vicinity of the branch itself.

For example, a branch of Tianbao Tower inside the Litian Dynasty could only gather news from within the Litian Dynasty itself.

If one wanted to gather news from across the Lingnan Continent, they would need to come to the headquarters of Tianbao Tower.

Ever since Lin Bai learned his mother’s name, Li Subai, in Purple Gold City, he has been longing to find his parents.

This time, having finally come to Haizhen City and reached the headquarters of Tianbao Tower, Lin Bai naturally would not miss this precious opportunity, hoping to learn some news about his mother from Tianbao Tower.

After leaving Tianbao Tower, just as Lin Bai returned to Silver Moon Commerce Association, Silk Rain came in person to inform him that there was news about the person he was looking for, and invited Lin Bai to Tianbao Tower after dusk!

Lin Bai was overjoyed in his heart.

He could have never imagined that Tianbao Tower would act so quickly; the news arrived sooner than expected.

However, Lin Bai was curious. Why did he have to wait until dusk to go to Tianbao Tower?

Upon learning that there was news of Li Subai, Lin Bai wished he could immediately mount his flying sword and rush to Tianbao Tower, but since Siyu specifically instructed him to come after dusk, Lin Bai had no choice but to comply and wait for dusk as Tianbao Tower had requested.

This half day was extremely agonizing for Lin Bai.

Finally, Lin Bai stood motionless in Yue Qing’s courtyard, his gaze fixed on the setting sun at the horizon.

As the sun set, Lin Bai, without a word, immediately took out his flying sword, flashed his sword-controlling technique, and headed straight to Tianbao Tower!

Arriving in front of Tianbao Tower, Siyu chuckled softly, "The Junior Sword Venerate is really punctual. The sun has just set, and here you are at Tianbao Tower."

Lin Bai said, "I’ve waited until sunset, as Tianbao Tower requested. Can Miss Siyu now inform me of the news about Li Subai?"

Siyu chuckled, "Hehe, please follow me, Junior Sword Venerate."

Lin Bai paused for a moment, then followed Siyu.

Siyu led Lin Bai to the highest floor of Tianbao Tower and stopped outside an ancient-style room. She knocked gently on the door and respectfully called out, "Envoy, Dong Fangbai Sword Master has arrived."

"So soon? Let him in."

A woman’s gentle voice came from inside the room.

Lin Bai paused, looking puzzled at Siyu.

Siyu gently pushed open the door and smiled, "Please enter, Junior Sword Master. The envoy will tell you what you want to know."

"Envoy?" Lin Bai’s expression turned odd as he stepped into the room.

After Lin Bai entered, Siyu finally closed the door and left the room, walking down from the top floor. Muttering to herself, Siyu wondered, "Who exactly is Li Subai? Why do the envoy and Dong Fangbai Sword Master care so much about him!"

Narrowing her eyes, Siyu headed to a secret area of Tianbao Tower.

Inside the room, there was a refreshing and enchanting fragrance.

Lin Bai walked in, dazed, but he did not see the envoy that Siyu had mentioned.

Lin Bai tentatively walked a few more steps forward, his expression growing more curious.

"Please take a seat for a moment, Junior Sword Venerate." Noticing Lin Bai’s bewilderment, the gentle female voice inside the room spoke up once more.

Upon hearing the voice, Lin Bai immediately looked in its direction.

"Hehe, what’s the fun in looking at a screen, Junior Sword Venerate? If you truly wish to see, then please come over," said the woman with a gentle laugh.

Lin Bai let out an exasperated sigh, his expression a bit deflated, "Sister Su, can we have a proper conversation?"

When Lin Bai heard the woman’s voice outside the door, he felt a hint of familiarity. And after she spoke a few words upon his entry, Lin Bai finally confirmed it.

This woman was Su Xianmei!

"Hehe," Su Xianmei chuckled, hearing Lin Bai identify her, "Little brother, you are now the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect’s Junior Sword Venerate, and on the Lingnan Continent, countless young girls dream of you as their lover!"

"What, now that you have become the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect Junior Sword Master, you look down on your sister?"

In Su Xianmei’s words, there was a hint of teasing as she stepped out from behind the screen and approached Lin Bai.
