Chapter 25: The treacherous Baiyun City (2)

"Is there anything new happening outside recently?" Su Tan chatted with Village Chief Chen while eating.

Su Tan doesn't like eating with strangers, and Village Chief Chen is one of the few village chiefs who can sit down and watch him eat and chat with him.

Su Tan does not intend to go out and participate in various struggles, but that does not mean he will turn a deaf ear to everything.

He was used to knowing what major events were happening outside so that he could have a general idea of ​​the wind direction.

This habit is beneficial whether you go out and explore the world or not.

If there is any disturbance outside, Village Chief Chen is happy to talk to Su Tan about it to relieve his loneliness and help him broaden his horizons and know what the outside world is like.

"Recently... nothing much has happened... The white wolf disappeared inexplicably, and the monsters that had previously accompanied the white wolf in various towns and villages also disappeared overnight. There is indeed nothing to worry about." Village Chief Chen said.

Su Tan unconsciously touched the little wolfdog in his arms...

Everyone is saying that the white wolf disappeared and must have returned to the depths of the primeval forest, otherwise it would not have disappeared.

But... only Su Tan knows where that thing went.

Here~
Isn’t it the one in my arms?
That’s right, the white wolf that appeared in various towns and villages not long ago, the monster that made people panic, was the little puppy in his arms.

Who would have thought of this?
As for the other monsters that hurt people, they are all subordinates of the White Wolf. In order to protect the White Wolf from harm, they took action to deal with the group of humans who entered the forest to hunt the White Wolf.

Su Tan didn't want to comment on that matter.

It's all just to survive.

The dead...are helpless too.

However, there will be no more incidents of Bai Lang's subordinates hurting people in the future, because of Su Tan.

The white wolf is no longer threatened by humans, and Su Tan will not let the monster kill villagers indiscriminately.

"It's better to go back!" Su Tan said.

You can only muddle through.

"Apart from the White Wolf incident, there is only the matter of the old man from the Xu family..." said Village Chief Chen.

"Ah... The Xu family has always been kind to their tenants. I really hope he is safe and sound."

Su Tan could tell from Village Chief Chen's words that the Xu family was indeed very popular in this area.

Even if some of the Xu family's servants are not friendly, it does not affect everyone's evaluation of the Xu family.

From this, we can see that the Xu family is indeed not a bad group.

"But it's really strange. Logically speaking... the fact that Mr. Xu has a serious health problem... the Xu family should have kept it a secret. How did it become known to everyone?" said Village Chief Chen.

"Oh? What's the point?" Su Tan asked.

"Baiyun City and a city near Baiyun City are not home to only one powerful force, the Xu family. It can be said that as long as the forces are adjacent, no matter they are families or sects, there is competition between them, either overtly or covertly. To put it nicely, it is competition, to put it bluntly, it is actually an enemy relationship. After all, there are only so many resources within the scope of their jurisdiction, and who doesn't want to take more?" Village Chief Chen talked freely.

"Since we are enemies, of course I will be uneasy if I know you are doing well, and I will feel at ease if I know you are not doing well..." Su Tan said.

This...is actually similar to some business competitions.

Su Tan was not someone who had never come into contact with intrigue before.

"Yes, that's right!" Village Chief Chen responded, and then said:
"You said it very well. That's exactly it. If other forces knew that something was wrong with the old man of the Xu family, what they would do would definitely not be caring and asking questions, nor would they help the old man Xu find a famous doctor to save his life. Instead, they would... take the opportunity to devour the resources and interests of the Xu family!

It is a pleasant thing to kick the enemy when he is down!"

"So, there is a big problem with the old man of the Xu family!" said Village Chief Chen.

"Maybe...it's a conspiracy!"

Su Tan said nothing and just listened quietly.

Otherworld...

It was indeed dangerous. Before he even left the courtyard, he could already smell the smell of conspiracy everywhere. He didn't want to leave the courtyard at the moment. First, he was blind, which was indeed inconvenient. Second, he knew too little about this world... and had no experience in dealing with strange things in other worlds.

Don’t say that you can do whatever you want just because you have White Wolf and the system.

Bai Lang’s cultivation is indeed very powerful, but it is limited to a country like Tianxiang. He goes out... and dominates Tianxiang, and then what?

Can he handle facing a bigger enemy?

No!

Who knows how many powerful monsters there are outside Tianxiang?

Now he only needs to deal with some trivial matters in life. As for those more powerful enemies, Tianxiang... or the protection of Tianxiang will deal with them. His life is leisurely and peaceful.

Is it not good?
As for the system...

Su Tan doesn't think that he is invincible just because he has the system!

According to the basic plot of the novels he read in his previous life, every time the protagonist reaches a certain level of strength, there will only be corresponding enemies who are at most not much higher in level than him to play with the protagonist. This kind of thing... is actually extremely unreasonable.

Even in the game, a bronze player can encounter a king, so why does every protagonist encounter a super strong person in reality?
A strong man who can kill the protagonist in seconds?
For example, when the protagonist was still a young monk, why didn't a great emperor come over and slap the protagonist to death? Why did he have to wait until the protagonist got up before coming over to PK?

Su Tan has an infinite equipment system, but it is just a supplement, not his reliance for immortality...

If he encounters a strong person, he will still be killed.

Instead of going out to take risks, it is better to stay in this small piece of land and live a low profile. It will not be too late to go out when you really feel you are qualified to venture out.

Anyway, as long as he doesn't send out Tianxiang, Bailang can guarantee his safety.

...

"It is indeed unusual. I guess... it must be a spy from the Xu family who spread the matter. Otherwise, it is impossible for the Xu family to reveal the affairs of Mr. Xu themselves." Village Chief Chen said.

"Even if they are looking for strange people and things everywhere, they can conceal it and find any excuse to fool people. For example, they can just say that a certain important person in the Xu family has a problem and they need to find a cure. As long as they don't say it's the old man, it will be fine!"

Village Chief Chen is not without insight as he can say these things.

Su Tan could feel it when he talked to him.

"Hey... I can feel that this time... something big is going to happen to the Xu family. If it's not handled in time... I'm afraid the dynasty in Baiyun City will change!"

Su Tan pondered...

He did not express his opinion, and Village Chief Chen didn't know what he was thinking.

"The Xu family has always been very good to us tenants. If something really happens to the Xu family... I don't know if the next force that takes over Baiyun City will treat us the same way... To be honest, I still hope that the Xu family will be fine."

There is an unspoken rule in the Tianxiang Empire that forces within the empire are allowed to compete with each other and replace each other...

Although Su Tan doesn’t understand the purpose of this weird competition, or whether it is reasonable or not...it really exists.

Hearing the concerns of the village chief, Su Tan smiled and said, "Village chief, don't worry, even if Baiyun City changes, it's okay, our Chenjia Village will still be the same!"

Village Chief Chen did not take Su Tan's words seriously, so he just smiled and said nothing.

Thought he was comforting.

"Okay, you eat first... I'll go back first." said Village Chief Chen.

"Then village chief, walk slowly!"
