Chapter 287 Sino: The Strong Deserve Respect
Chapter 287 Sino: The Strong Deserve Respect
"What are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for a secret place."
Perhaps because Bai Mu is a dragon, he instinctively felt somewhat irritable after entering the desert.
Even so, Shiraki patiently searched for something using the map in his hand.
This map is the same one that the Doctor gave to Lin Sheng before. When Bai Mu brought Lin Sheng back to Liyue, he also took this map with him.
"Oh, so you're looking for this secret realm."
The Great Tree King tiptoed to look at the map in Bai Mu's hand, then nodded knowingly.
"I have a proposal."
Bai Mu turned to look at her, wanting to see what suggestions she had.
"If you hold the map upright, it might be easier to find it."
Bai Mu silently rotated the map 180 degrees, and sure enough, it looked much better than before.
...
"Please wait a moment, gentlemen. This is an undeveloped area, extremely dangerous, and unauthorized personnel are strictly prohibited from entering."
"Oh? After following us all this way, you've finally decided to show yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Seno, who was following behind, couldn't help but shrink his pupils.
He thought his tracking was spotless, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him had already seen through his actions.
In fact, Shiraki already knew that someone was following him.
He probably noticed someone hanging behind him not long after he left Sumeru City.
However, he didn't pay any attention to it, because Bai Mu felt that the person was just following him and didn't have any ill intentions towards him.
A tall, dark-skinned man slowly emerged from the sand dunes behind them.
Seno maintained a safe distance from Bai Mu, staring intently at him, and asked warily:
When did you realize it?
Shiraki thought for a moment.
"It was probably when I had just left Sumeru City."
Upon hearing this, Seno's eyes widened in disbelief.
If what the person in front of me said is true, then wouldn't I be like a clown, being played for a fool all the way?
"Oh right, I forgot to ask, why are you following me?"
"As far as I know, I haven't violated any of Sumeru's laws, have I?"
Coming to his senses, Seno frowned.
Bai Mu did not break any laws, and as the Chief Disciplinary Officer, even if Bai Mu did break the law, it was not his place to deal with it.
The problem is that Shiraki's appearance is somewhat strange, and his behavior is very suspicious.
"The fact that a stranger would immediately head to the desert with such a clear purpose after meeting with the scribe of the Order of the Church is highly suspicious."
"So you want to use his behavior in the desert to investigate potential problems with that clerk, right?"
At this moment, the Great Tree King interjected with a comment.
Seno turned to look at the Great Tree King, and his expression suddenly froze.
Although he had never seen the Great Tree King, Seno felt a sense of familiarity whenever he saw her.
Moreover, upon closer inspection, Seno felt that the woman gave him the illusion of being a "mother".
Instinctively, he felt a sense of "not wanting to lie to his mother."
Feeling this way, Seno didn't deny what the Great Tree King said; he simply nodded and expressed his own thoughts.
“That’s right. That clerk has always been an upright man. I’m worried that he might be misled by others and make a big mistake.”
After saying this, Seno didn't notice anything amiss, and the wariness in his eyes as he looked at Bai Mu remained unchanged.
"So you've been following me for most of the day just because of this baseless guess?"
Perhaps because he was a little irritable, Shiraki spoke somewhat impulsively and acted somewhat recklessly.
Before he could finish speaking, he flashed in front of Seno and reached out to grab his collar.
Faced with this sudden situation, Sino had no time to react at all.
He could only watch helplessly as Bai Mu suddenly appeared in front of him and reached out to grab his neck.
Then...
Then Shiraki missed his target.
Bai Mu failed to notice a detail: Seno was shirtless; he had no clothes on his upper body at all.
Therefore, when Shiraki tried to grab his collar, he couldn't grab anything.
Sino Iron jumped back a considerable distance, then stared intently at Bai Mu.
Although it seems pointless for him to create distance based on the situation just now, it at least gives him some psychological comfort.
Bai Mu looked at his hand hovering over Baolong Zhongru, then at Senuo, who was more than ten meters away from him, and then flashed to appear next to Senuo again.
Even with prior precautions, Sino still couldn't escape.
This time, Shiramu didn't grab his collar, but instead placed her hand on his shoulder.
"How about a deal?"
Bai Mu spoke softly.
Seno's face showed a look of resignation to death. He felt that Bai Mu's words were meant to make him a mole, and he was ready to be loyal to Xumi.
Bai Mu didn't care about the expression on Seno's face, because he had enough leverage to make Seno work for him or even risk his life for him.
"This will be your reward once it's done."
Shiraki pulled a card that emitted a faint purple glow from his pocket.
He found the card on the altar at his Qingce Manor. He wondered which kid was so up-to-date that he offered him one of these things.
Upon seeing the card that Shiraki had taken out, Seno's previously resolute expression suddenly relaxed.
"Let me make it clear beforehand that I will not do anything that would harm the interests of Sumeru."
"Okay, this card is yours now."
Under Seno's astonished gaze, Shiramu released his shoulder and handed him the God Card.
"Please tell me what you need me to do for you."
Seno accepted the God Card with both hands, and at the same time, he began to address Shiro with more respect.
Strong people deserve respect, especially one who gave him a rare, exclusive divine card.
“If you have any questions, go back and ask Elhesen. Now I’ll explain, and you can listen.”
In order to get Seno back to help Naxida as soon as possible, Shiraki decided to keep it short.
"I need you to return to Sumeru City and work with Elhesen to eliminate the current Great Sage, and then you two figure out a way to make Elhesen the Great Sage."
Seno opened his mouth as if to ask a question, since Bai Mu wanted to eliminate the Great Sage right away and then install a new Great Sage.
Even if Seno knew some unknown things, this great sage still had to ask him questions, even if he was given a divine card.
“I told you, if you have any questions, go back and ask Elhesen.”
Bai Mu's voice drifted into Seno's ears from afar. He looked up and realized that Bai Mu had already walked away sometime earlier.
