After fifteen years of cultivation, he finally reached the pinnacle of the first rank!

Chapter 375 Tell me, who is it?

However, as soon as Bai Xiaotang saw the other person, she turned around abruptly without hesitation.

His legs moved swiftly like the wind, and he immediately tried to escape from the room.

But soon, Bai Xiaotang realized that something was wrong.

Looking down, one could see that even though her legs were moving like blurry shadows, almost smoking, she remained motionless in the same spot.

"You stole my martial arts, took advantage of me, and ran away. When I woke up, I wanted to ask you to steal some wine, but even your bedding was gone."

The white-haired middle-aged man took a swig of wine and glanced disdainfully at Bai Xiaotang, who was almost in tears.

The head manager of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce, who was standing nearby, looked at this scene with a flicker of doubt in his eyes. To be honest, he was still a little confused about the relationship between the two people in front of him.

Logically speaking, it's perfectly reasonable that Bai Xiaotang knew about the secret relationship between him and the Thief Saint, so it's only natural that the two were master and disciple.

However, judging from the current situation, the relationship between the two seems to be somewhat different from what he imagined.

"Brother Bai, when did you arrive in Tai Xuan City? You didn't even let me know you were coming, so I could have shown you some hospitality."

The head manager of Jubao Chamber of Commerce didn't think much of it and immediately greeted the white-haired middle-aged man warmly.

However, the other person reached out to stop him and sneered:
"Stop with the formalities, bring me two jars of your best wine."

Upon hearing this, the head manager of Jubao Chamber of Commerce chuckled awkwardly, and then immediately ordered his servants to fetch his treasured wine without saying a word.

At this moment, Bai Xiaotang still did not give up and continued to swing her legs, trying to run away.

"You think you can run away from me?"

The white-haired middle-aged man snorted coldly, shook the wine jar in his hand, drank the last bit of wine inside, and then casually tossed the empty jar aside.

"Hurry up and come over here to kowtow and admit your mistake!"

At this moment, the white-haired middle-aged man pointed to the ground in front of him and shouted to Bai Xiaotang, who had her back to him.

Upon hearing this, the head manager of Jubao Chamber of Commerce didn't know what to say and simply stood aside in silence.

Bai Xiaotang was almost in tears, and shouted:
"Old beggar, let me go. I'm not a child anymore. I want to go out and explore the world on my own. I want to see the world."

However, the white-haired middle-aged man shook his head expressionlessly and said:

"No, you've stolen my unparalleled martial arts and used my name to swindle and cheat people. You're already heavily in debt."

With that, the white-haired middle-aged man gave a cold laugh and said leisurely:
"You have to stay by my side, serve me tea and food, steal wine for me, and pay off my debts!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaotang's pretty face turned deathly pale, as if she could already see the bitter days that lay ahead of her.

"Old beggar, you might as well just kill me!"

Bai Xiaotang shouted, then steeled herself and stopped rotating her legs, turning around sharply to look at the white-haired middle-aged man.

After hesitating for a moment, she tentatively stretched her neck and said:
"I... would rather die than submit!"

The white-haired middle-aged man, however, didn't take it seriously at all and scoffed:
"Do you think I'm crazy? Why would I kill you? What I want is for you to pay off my debts."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaotang immediately deflated, feeling as if she were living a life worse than death. Her face drooped, and she said:

"Old beggar, why are you haunting me like a ghost?"
"Your martial arts skills were something you forced me to learn after you got drunk; I never intended to learn them..."

However, the white-haired middle-aged man reached out and stopped her, saying:

"Don't act innocent after getting the benefit. Do you know how many people in the world would kill to learn my martial arts skills?"

As he spoke, he turned to look at the head manager of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce beside him and said:
"Ask this guy, he's made a huge profit, but he doesn't even realize it."

Upon hearing this, the head manager of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce quickly nodded in agreement, then his eyes flickered as he looked at Bai Xiaotang and kindly advised her:
“Young lady, Brother Bai is only doing this for your own good. The world outside is dangerous, and it would be extremely dangerous for a young girl like you.”

"Moreover, Brother Bai's martial arts are unparalleled and first-rate in the entire martial arts world. If you learn and cultivate by his side, you will be able to roam the martial arts world freely when you achieve mastery in the future."

The middle-aged man with white hair nodded slightly, clearly satisfied with what the head manager of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce had said.

However, Bai Xiaotang pouted, somewhat unconvinced, and said:

"What kind of peerless martial arts? It's just so-so. I met someone whose martial arts skills are far superior to yours, you old beggar."

Bai Xiaotang was not unaware of the power of the Thief Saint's martial arts, but since the other party refused to let her go, she naturally couldn't give him a pleasant look or say anything nice to him.

Moreover, although Bai Xiaotang had never seen the Thief Saint use his full strength, she did not know whether his martial arts cultivation was higher or that of Li Musheng.
But judging from Li Musheng's terrifying lightness skill and finger techniques, she felt that he was absolutely no weaker than the old beggar in front of her.

Thinking of Li Musheng, Bai Xiaotang seemed to gain some confidence. Her eyes darted around, and she put her hands on her hips, looking at the white-haired middle-aged man, and said:

"I'm not kidding, that guy could hang you up and beat you with just one hand!"

"fart!"

Thief Bai Wuying slammed his hand on the table. How could he possibly believe Bai Xiaotang's nonsense?

They simply assumed that the little girl didn't want to pay her debts, that she was rebellious and thought she was no match for them, so she deliberately fabricated a nonexistent expert to slander them.

However, the head manager of Jubao Chamber of Commerce standing to the side had an uncertain expression in his eyes.

The legendary thief Bai Wuying might not know, but upon hearing Bai Xiaotang's words, he immediately guessed who the expert she was referring to was.
What's more, just last night, he personally witnessed Li Musheng's astonishing and terrifying martial arts prowess at the Great Xuan Imperial Palace.

Even the Great Xuan Emperor and the entire Great Xuan Imperial Palace were powerless against it.

To be honest, although he hadn't seen Bai Wuying, the Thief Saint, for many years, he wasn't entirely sure what level Bai Wuying's martial arts realm had reached.
But in his opinion, if the Thief Saint Bai Wuying really faced that Eighth Prince of Dali, he would probably be at a disadvantage!
However, the head manager of Jubao Chamber of Commerce naturally couldn't reveal his thoughts, lest he offend "Brother Bai" in front of him.

Therefore, he stood aside the whole time, keeping his eyes down and not saying a word.

However, Bai Xiaotang didn't care about him. Seeing that Bai Wuying didn't believe her, she quickly turned her gaze to the head manager of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce next to her and said:
“I just asked him to help me find someone, and that person is the expert I was talking about.”

As she spoke, Bai Xiaotang continued:
"Since you old beggar don't believe me, wait until he finds that person. Then you, this toad at the bottom of the well, will know what it truly means to be outmatched and to be in a world beyond our understanding."

Upon hearing this, Thief Saint Bai Wuying narrowed his eyes slightly, and then turned to look at the head manager of Jubao Chamber of Commerce.

Upon seeing this, the head manager of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce was startled and hurriedly said:

“Brother, I did promise to help this young lady find someone…” However, before he could finish speaking, the Thief Saint Bai Wuying sneered:
"Of course I know she asked you to help her find someone, and you bastard even lied to her about not having long to live."

The head manager of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce was startled. After a sheepish chuckle, he shook his head and sighed, saying:
"Brother Bai, you may not know this, but it's true that I'm not long for this world. I've been poisoned by a strange toxin, and someone has planted a 'worm-like demon' in my head. I might die on the spot at any moment!"

"Serves you right! You scoundrel, every businessman is cunning. You've probably offended countless people in the underworld over the years. I'm not surprised at all that you've ended up like this."

The master thief Bai Wuying remained calm and collected, clearly having seen through the thoughts of the head manager of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce. Naturally, he could not be deceived by him like Bai Xiaotang.

Seeing this, the head manager of Jubao Chamber of Commerce sighed inwardly. He naturally knew that Bai Wuying was not so easy to talk to, and it was to be expected that he would run into a wall.

But he wasn't in a hurry. Dealing with someone like Bai Wuying required patience and a gradual approach.

Just then, a group of servants brought in more than a dozen jars of fine wine. The head manager of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce took the initiative to change the subject, personally opening a jar for the Thief Saint Bai Wuying, and said:

"Buddhism emphasizes cause and effect and retribution. Brother, you are also self-aware. Brother Bai has come all the way to Tai Xuan City, so let's not talk about these unpleasant things. Come and taste this thirty-year-old Zhu Ye Qing."

Upon hearing this, Bai Wuying, the Thief Saint, took the wine jar, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. The rich aroma of the wine was refreshing.

"It really is a good wine."

Bai Wuying praised it, then took a big gulp.

Bai Xiaotang glanced at Bai Wuying, then fixed her gaze on the head manager of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce, and said:
"You promised to help me find that person, so you can't go back on your word."

The head manager of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce nodded hurriedly and said:
"Don't worry, young lady. I will certainly keep my word and do my best to help you find the person you are looking for."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaotang nodded in satisfaction.

As if knowing she couldn't leave, she simply sat back down in her previous seat, picked up the remaining pastries on the table, and ate them sullenly.

Bai Wuying, the master thief, saw everything, but he did not stop the head manager of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce from looking for people.

He simply hiccuped, glanced sideways at Bai Xiaotang, and said:
“I went out and saw someone who I thought was a master. I’d like to see if the person you’re talking about can even take down my little finger.”

As he spoke, Bai Wuying held up his little fingernail to Bai Xiaotang.

However, seeing that Bai Xiaotang was only focused on eating pastries and completely ignoring him, he angrily said:

"Stop eating! Even a pig can eat more than you. Come here and give me a shoulder massage!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaotang turned her head away, not intending to pay any attention to the old beggar in front of her.

But the next moment, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if she had thought of something.

His eyes darted around, and he stood up, walking behind the legendary thief Bai Wuying, and sneered:
"You asked for this, don't regret it later!"

The legendary thief Bai Wuying remained unconcerned, simply drinking his wine while slowly closing his eyes and savoring the moment:
"It's been a few months, and you've gotten quite arrogant. Go ahead and hit me. If you can kill me, it's on me."

Upon hearing this, a ruthless glint flashed in Bai Xiaotang's dark, clear eyes. She immediately circulated her martial arts true energy and chanted incantations:

"Swift as the wind, powerful as lightning, the Sunflower Acupuncture Technique!"

Bai Xiaotang's fingers flew like a blur, frantically tapping Bai Wuying's back, shoulders, and head.

After a long while, Bai Xiaotang seemed to be exhausted and finally stopped.

Then, after catching her breath a few times, she immediately looked at Bai Wuying in front of her.

Just then, the Thief Saint Bai Wuying slowly turned his head, looked at her with a surprised expression, and asked:
"You silly girl, where did you learn this finger technique?"

However, Bai Xiaotang was immediately discouraged when she saw that the old beggar in front of her was completely unharmed.

"As expected, it still doesn't work?"

She had tried her best to use the Sunflower Acupuncture Technique to immobilize Bai Wuying, but it was completely ineffective.

At this moment, she had no choice but to admit defeat and had no other means to deal with this old beggar.

What Bai Xiaotang didn't know was that Bai Wuying's heart was far from calm at that moment.

He immediately realized when Bai Xiaotang used the Sunflower Acupuncture Technique that he had never taught her this finger technique.

As Bai Xiaotang continued to use this finger technique to stimulate his acupoints, he gradually became more and more shocked.

The reason is that Bai Xiaotang's finger technique is unpredictable and unpredictable, something he has never heard of or seen before.

However, Bai Wuying was absolutely certain that the finger technique used by Bai Xiaotang was undoubtedly a top-tier finger technique in the martial arts world, extremely powerful, and in no way inferior to his own movement technique.

If it weren't for his profound martial arts cultivation, even without using his martial arts true energy, his meridians and acupoints would be as solid as a rock.

Bai Xiaotang's strength was too weak; the two were not even in the same league, and she couldn't even scratch him.

Perhaps he really did fall into Bai Xiaotang's trap and get stunned by her.

Seeing Bai Xiaotang looking like a defeated rooster, about to leave dejectedly, Bai Wuying grabbed her arm.

His previously somewhat lazy demeanor suddenly turned serious, and he asked:

"Tell me, who taught you that finger technique?"

As she spoke, Bai Wuying reached out and scratched her disheveled white hair, instantly becoming furious, and cursed:
"You dare to learn this kind of martial art? Did you speak recklessly and reveal my name? Did you promise someone something you shouldn't have?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaotang rolled her eyes listlessly and grumbled:
"I want you to take care of it?"

To be honest, she didn't dare tell Bai Wuying that she had used his signature martial arts skills to exchange for the Sunflower Acupuncture Technique from Li Musheng.

She was a little afraid that the other person might slap her to death in a fit of anger.

What Bai Wuying was worried about at this moment was that Bai Xiaotang, this troublesome brat, might run into some old geezer in the martial arts world.

Moreover, what favors were owed in his name without his knowledge?
You should know that although he, the Thief Saint, is powerful, he is not yet the best in the world.

And the person who could teach Bai Xiaotang such terrifying finger techniques must not be a kind soul.

If the other party suddenly comes knocking on his door one day and orders him something, he won't be able to reason with them.
