Chapter 49: Confrontation

As the wind pressure gradually increased the incessantly spinning main rotor on the helicopter slowed as it landed at the top of the half-intact building. As it did so it scattered fragments of debris all over the ground.

The helicopter whose size wasnt the slightest bit small wasnt the version approved for civilian use. In fact Ji Bai could even see cannon barrels strapped onto the nose of the helicopter.

When the hatch fell the pitter-patter sound of high heeled shoes tapping the ground was the first thing that could be heard. A tall golden-haired woman wearing a black formal dress walked out of the Hawk-model helicopter while carrying an umbrella. While casually surveying the messy scene in front of her her emotionless blue eyes paused for a moment at the green-blood covered sword in Ji Bais hand and the fragmented troll corpses on the ground.

Beautiful and aloof. This was the first impression that Ji Bai had of the girl.

Human beings would feel shocked or even scared when they encounter things that went against their common sense. This was the basic response built into the circuitry of the human mind.

However the eyes of the golden-haired woman only carried an obvious calmness as if the matter at hand didnt concern her the slightest bit. She couldnt care less about the state of the surroundings. It seemed that she was only focused on finding something and was searching everywhere for it.

After finishing her sweep the eyes of the golden-haired girl slightly flickered as she fixed her gaze on Lemi who was currently lying behind Ji Bai still asleep. After heaving out an undetectable sigh she lifted her legs and walked towards her.

She brushed her shoulders past Ji Bai without talking to him. It was as if her world her eyes could only see the petite body that was on her deathbed; almost like the decrepit ruins in the surroundings and the sinister dismembered bodies didnt exist.

After crouching down to carry Lemi she then turned her body around and walked towards the helicopter whose rotating blades were still emitting a whirring sound.

Are you her relative? Out of responsibility for saving Lemi Ji Bai opened his mouth and asked this question. He was mulling over the issue when the woman passed by him earlier.

Your name. Like the lingering cries of a cuckoo that had flown out of a valley in the wee morning her cold voice rang out.

Sigh! You little brat! Always thinking about stirring up trouble all day long. On the contrary your teacher is weary to the point his legs are going to give way After nearly half an hour elapsed a small car speedily moved and stopped in front of the Star Spirit company under the night sky.

Lin Tuo miserably stepped down from the car with Lil Sha following him. While cautiously moving she was trying her best to hide behind Lin Tuos back.

Even after hearing Lin Tuos words Ji Bai didnt respond in any way. His back still continued to face him.

Eh? Whats up with you youngster? Are you trying to take on a new look by pretending to be deep and serene? Well I dont really understand youngsters like yo Before Lin Tuo could manage to utter the last word dangling in his mouth a bright silver longsword streaked under the moonlight and pointed straight towards the tip of his nose.

F*ck me! WWhat the hell are you doing this for?! Ji Bai have you finally lost your mind youngster? I am Lin Tuo you know? Once your teacher always your father! Even if I hadnt treated you in a kind manner theres no grudge between us right? Faced with Ji Bais grave and stern gaze Lin Tuo the coward hadnt thought of anything before raising both of his hands up in an absolutely subservient manner. As for Lil Sha behind him she immediately distanced herself from him while further hiding afraid that Ji Bai would carry out the vendetta between them and chop her down.

What are you doing again cockroach? Just at this time a cold voice arrived. Lin and Huo Lei appeared on the side of the street. They rushed over here the moment they were notified too. Seeing as Huo Leis appearance and stature was too conspicuous he could only dare show himself in deserted streets like these.

Did your chivalric order teach you to turn against your mentor in public? Lins gaze gradually turned chilly. With a pinch of her fingers a long blood-red whip extended and touched the ground.

Eh? Nno fighting! No one is allowed to fight here! Were all allies! Seeing that both parties had adopted a hostile stance against each other Lin Tuo incessantly waved his hands back and forth in an attempt to mediate between the two parties.

Uhm young student Ji Bai. If theres anything youre unsatisfied with you can just bring it up to me and I can give you a perfect explanation. Its illogical for people to wantonly raise their sword and indiscriminately cut people down just because theyre unsatisfied right? After all a gentleman relies on words not violence. Lin Tuo tried to reconcile in a kind manner while signaling Lin to put away her magic.

Explanation?? Alright then you can start by explaining what exactly happened to this large building behind me. Ji Bai laughed in ridicule as he withdrew the long sword that was pointing at Lin Tuo.

Eh? Isnt this the Star Spirit building? When did it become like this? Did a cruise missile hit it? Sigh Speaking of which I actually applied for a position here and didnt get accepted back in the day. Now that I think about it I couldve probably been a full-fledged private enterprise director by now if I hadnt been rejected back then. Haha. Letting out a breath of relief Lin Tuo shifted his eyes towards the big building that Ji Bai pointed. After freezing for a brief instant he began to boast his ways into the high heavens.

Cut the crap. I want an explanation right now. You or anyone here who can give it to me? Ji Bais eyes narrowed into a slit as he swept his gaze at each and every person on the scene.

Uh-huh I express my deepest condolences to the catastrophe that had befallen this building but this catastrophe wasnt caused by me! Much less by the people here! Lin Tuo had a face filled with innocence as he said this.

Yes its the murder weapon not the murderer thats at fault for committing the murder right? Ji Bais mouth formed a smile of ridicule.
