Lin Bai was a little surprised when he heard Gong Jian admit it.
Until that moment, Lin Bai couldn't decide whether it was Gong Jian or Meng Qi.
Because in Lin Bai's opinion, both Meng Qi and Gong Jian are possible.
Gong Jian was well hidden. If Lin Bai hadn't come over and blew him up, no one would have suspected him.
"I wonder why?"
"You are one of the few geniuses in the Eternal Demon Sect. Even if you don't make a deal with the Bone Clan, you will still have a place in the Eternal Demon Sect in the future."
"Why make a huge mistake?"
Lin Bai still hasn't figured out why Gong Jian was willing to make a deal with the Bone Clan.
Gong Jian smiled lonely, walked into the courtyard, took out a pot of wine, and drank by himself: "You want to know why I took such a big risk to make a deal with the Bone Clan, don't you?"
"Actually the reason is very simple."
"I don't have Jiang Xuansu's talent."
"I don't have Meng Qi's background."
"I'm not as powerful as the eight wealthy families in Hengzhou."
"Jiang Xuansu possesses the Divine Demon Dao Fruit, and she will become the mainstay of the Eternal Demon Sect in the future."
"Meng Qi is a descendant of the Meng family in Xiongzhou and the leader of the Xiongzhou Alliance. Behind him are the warriors from the entire Xiongzhou who are supporting him."
"The eight wealthy families in Hengzhou were so powerful before they were destroyed. Their disciples, such as Murong Chuan, Wu Shanyu and others, are all outstanding among people."
Having said this, Gong Jian laughed to himself.
He looked at Lin Bai and continued: "Qing Luo, you said it yourself just now... Since the destruction of the eight wealthy families in Hengzhou, there are only a few geniuses in the Eternal Demon Sect, so you can easily target me and Meng Qi as suspects.
.”
"What if the eight wealthy families in Hengzhou are not destroyed?"
"Can you notice me?"
Lin Bai fell silent.
The eight wealthy families in Hengzhou are as strong as clouds and as talented as forests.
If the eight wealthy families in Hengzhou had not been destroyed, it would be difficult for Lin Bai to suspect Gong Jian.
"The eight wealthy families in Hengzhou have not been destroyed. You wouldn't have guessed that it was me." Gong Jian smiled coldly: "This is the powerful relationship. The eight wealthy families in Hengzhou are too powerful, and the geniuses under them are like a sea.
Vast.”
"Before the eight wealthy families in Hengzhou were destroyed, almost no one was willing to look at Meng Qi and me."
"Even if I own the Seventh Avenue of the Eternal Demon Sect, my status within the sect is not as good as that of an ordinary disciple of the Hengzhou Alliance!"
"If the eight wealthy families in Hengzhou are not destroyed, my palace sword will not have a place in the world of the Eternal Demon Sect in the future!"
"I have to work hard to rush up and climb up in order to survive in that troubled world where there is a sea of geniuses."
Lin Bai understood now.
As Gong Jian said, if the eight wealthy families in Hengzhou were not destroyed, neither Gong Jian nor Meng Qi would be able to take the lead, and they would be suppressed by Murong Chuan, Wu Shanyu and others for the rest of their lives.
Meng Qi's back is in Xiongzhou, and the Meng family is the largest family in Xiongzhou.
Meng Qi is naturally confident.
But Gong Jian is different.
He came from a humble background, had no background, and no connections. Apart from his master, he had no one to rely on in the Eternal Demon Sect.
Seeing everything he gained slowly being lost, he had to take risks and fight for his future.
If you win the bet, you will become famous all over the world; if you lose the bet, you will be reincarnated.
It's a pity that Gong Jian planned every step of the plan, except for the variable Lin Bai.
Let Lin Bai take away all the Bone Clan's treasures under his name.
"You can go tell Patriarch Liu Fuyun now...he will definitely reward you well."
Gong Jian's eyes were red and he said with a sneer.
By now, Gong Jian also understood that he could not escape from Lin Bai's eyes.
If the two of them were to fight, Gong Jian would definitely not be his opponent based on the strength Lin Bai showed at the Xie Yue Banquet.
Gong Jian understood that he was in doom today.
For the Eternal Demon Sect, trading with the Bone Clan is a violation of the sect's first iron rule. Even a proud man like Gong Jian must be put to death as a warning to others.
To this day, there are still people within the Eternal Demon Sect who are specifically investigating this matter.
"You go."
"Don't go back to the Eternal Demon Sect."
"On the way back, you can find an opportunity to go out for training or to hunt for treasures in dangerous places. Anyway, don't go back to the Eternal Demon Sect."
"I will keep this matter secret."
After Lin Bai finished speaking, he turned around and left Gong Jian's house.
After much deliberation, Lin Bai still had no intention of informing Liu Fuyun about this matter.
I would like to have two.
First, Lin Bai didn't have much favorable impression of the Eternal Demon Sect. Staying in the Eternal Demon Sect was just a deal with Li Mojun.
Now that the deal is over, Lin Bai naturally has no intention of helping the Eternal Demon Sect.
Second, although Gong Jian made a deal with the Bone Clan, all the treasures ended up falling into Lin Bai's hands.
To the Eternal Demon Sect, the crime committed by Gong Jian was extremely heinous; but to Lin Bai, this matter had nothing to do with him in the first place.
Today, Lin Bai came over to talk to Gong Jian about all this. The main reason was that he wanted Gong Jian to give up his pursuit of Lin Bai.
Because at some time in the past, Gong Jian guessed that Lin Bai was the one who stole his treasure, and once wanted to assassinate Lin Bai.
But in the end, Gong Jian did not take action. He only sent some warriors to beat Lin Bai, hoping that Lin Bai would return the treasure.
In the final analysis, Lin Bai and Gong Jian have no life-or-death grudge.
If we examine the grudges carefully, Lin Bai owes Gong Jian even more.
Gong Jian looked at Lin Bai's back as he turned and left, his eyes dazed. He thought Lin Bai would tell Liu Fuyun about this without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, Lin Bai spared his life.
"Thank you."
Gong Jian said to Lin Bai with grateful eyes.
Leave Gongjian Courtyard.
Lin Bai slowly walked towards his courtyard under the moonlight.
Along the way, my mind wandered outside, thinking deeply.
It wasn't until she walked to the door that she spotted a beautiful figure standing under the moon, her white clothes fluttering, and the moonlight shone on her skin, giving it a charming sheen.
"Where have you gone?"
Seeing Lin Bai coming back, Jiang Xuansu walked up to him in a few steps.
"It's time to say goodbye soon. Let's go and say goodbye to our classmates."
Lin Bai said with a smile.
Jiang Xuansu nodded slightly and said with a hint of sadness: "You went to say goodbye to your close friends, but why didn't you come to see me? Am I not even a friend in your heart?"
Lin Bai was stunned, but he didn't expect Jiang Xuansu to speak so straightforwardly!
"I went to look for you and found that you were not in the room, so my trip was in vain."
"Too."
Jiang Xuansu thought about it and realized that he had been waiting at Lin Bai's residence for almost half an hour.
It was probably at that time that Lin Bai went to look for him.
Jiang Xuansu also came to see Lin Bai.
The two of them missed each other by accident.
Seeing that the fooling around was over, Lin Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, a man's mouth is a liar.
Lin Bai's lies were probably only meant to deceive Jiang Xuansu, a little girl who was not very familiar with the world.
If these words were spoken to Jian Ruohan and Bai Xiaoxiao... Jian Ruohan and Bai Xiaoxiao would be able to tell that Lin Bai was lying in a minute, and then break all three of Lin Bai's legs in a minute.
