Chapter 519: He’s Bad
Translator: 549690339
His voice was miserable, like a crow’s cry, unpleasant and noisy.
This person’s hand was inserted into his chest, and blood flowed down his wrist. His face revealed a painful expression, and there was a hint of mockery in the pain.
“Do you think you can control everything? Do you think that everything will be as smooth sailing as before after reaching this place? But you are thinking too much.”
“Whoosh!”
Before Xu Bai could get close, a bloody heart was taken out by this person. He held it in his hand and the next moment, the heart exploded. This person fell to the ground, no longer breathing.
The Gu worms on the ground turned to ashes and dissipated completely. The books that were eaten also turned into ashes that filled the sky.
Xu Bai quickly walked forward and looked at the scene in front of him in silence.
“As expected, it’s a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.” No Flower sighed.
Now that such a scene had appeared, it was clear that the other party did not seem to have any intention of dealing with them directly. The poison that the commoners had been poisoned with just now was to make them leave the provincial government.
And in the provincial government office, there was an important thing that had been destroyed. It was the book that the person had mentioned just now.
At this moment, it was a mess. It was impossible to restore it.
Because the book and Gu worms had already turned into fragments and ashes, only this corpse was left.
Xu Bai raised his hand, and a golden compass appeared. However, the needle on it did not change at all. It lay weakly on the side.
Xu Bai waved his hand and dispersed the golden compass. He still did not speak, but his eyes were filled with endless coldness and killing intent.
Indeed, this time, he really did not expect that the other party would actually set their sights on the state government and use a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
It was as if all connections had been cut off, and the golden compass could not calculate them.
“Lord Ying.” “Do you know which book was lost?” Xu Bai asked.”
The item was gone, but it did not mean that there were no clues. He wanted to see which book it was.
The Governor of the Ying Province was slightly stunned, but he quickly understood what Xu Bai meant. He quickly walked into a room. After a while, he walked out with a troubled expression.
“These aren’t the books I brought over. When I take up my post, I will bring my own books, but I know all of them.”
“If it’s something I don’t know. It can only be the books brought by the state government, but I haven’t read many of them.”
A state’s state token. The place he was at naturally had many books, and they were all brought by the state.
As for the types of books, they were all related to Lingyun State.
“You’re the token of a province here. You haven’t even finished reading?”Xu Bai frowned.
As the Prefectural Magistrate, he was definitely a scholar. Otherwise, he would not have been able to hold this position. The most important thing for a scholar was to read books. However, he was now told that he had not finished reading many books. This was not reasonable.
The Governor of the Ying Province smiled bitterly.” Lord Xu, after I took office, many people sent me gifts under various banners. The gifts weren’t expensive because they knew that I didn’t like to accept gifts, so they just gave me some books.”
“However, after taking office, my schedule has been very busy. Every day, my schedule is full. If I have free time to read two words, then it’s already considered leisure.”
“I’m really ashamed. I really can’t finish reading it.”
As he spoke, the Ying Prefecture’s Magistrate revealed an ashamed expression.
Indeed, a scholar who did not read would be laughed at outside. However, he knew that after doing this, he had to put the country first, and some of his hobbies had long been forgotten.
“Oh right, Lord Xu!” The Ying Prefecture Token suddenly thought of something and said,””More than 90% of these books were given to me by them, but I have a special characteristic. If I record everything they gave me, I might be able to find something.”
“Since the other party did this, it definitely wasn’t the books they gave you.””lt’s good if we investigate.” Xu Bai said.”
The Ying Prefecture Token nodded and led Xu Bai and the others into the room.
After entering, Xu Bai saw that one of the bookshelves inside was in a mess. Many books were thrown on the ground. From the looks of it, he didn’t know where the other party had taken them.
Governor Ying was holding an account book in his hand and was digging around on the ground. It was obvious that he wanted to check the amount.
After a while, he sighed and stood up from the ground. He shook his head to show that he had not found anything.
Xu Bai rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.
He didn’t have much hope for this method. After all, the other party wasn’t stupid. It was impossible for him to be careless in such details, so he only wanted to give it a try.
Now, it seemed that this method was indeed useless. It was better than nothing.

“Lord Xu, in your opinion, what should we do now?”The Ying Prefecture Token asked.
In his jurisdiction, there had never been such a big event, but now it suddenly appeared.
That so-called Gu God Sect actually dared to lay their hands on ordinary people. This was really a taboo for the Emperor. If he did not handle it well, he would not be able to escape when the Dragon King was furious.
If he dealt with it well, he would benefit from it. Even if there was no reward, at least he would not be punished severely.
“I don’t have any other choice.” Xu Bai shook his head..”
