63 Hear (1/2)

The three of them sat in silence for a moment. Bai Yun and Xiao Mei-er sat drinking tea, while Bai Mu kept on reading the documents delivered to him. There were a huge number of them, all of them arriving from different parts of the country.

As Bai Yun glanced at them, he saw that some of them were about the activities his father had gone to discuss about, and some even postulated the actions of the devils.

”What are these documents?” Bai Yun asked his father. He was curious to hear any information about the devils. He wanted to be prepared for any devil worshipers he might encounter. ”What happened to the thing you went to meet up? Any news?”

Bai Mu looked at his son for a while before nodding. ”The message from the Immortal Plane was quite serious. They were quite adamant that we take the risk of the devil worshipers seriously. They are even sending down some rewards through the city of scholars if we were to perform well. So the major forces decided to cooperate and form a task force to capture the devil worshipers. Then those old bastards said that they were busy with their own work and that I was young and free and then put me in charge.”

Bai Mu sighed as he looked through the pile of documents. Since he had been taking care of Bai Yun until recently he had no official duties, and a lot of debt to the clan. ”These are all the records of devil rituals all the major forces have collected. We shared the detailed information we had with everyone. Right now I am going through it all in order to see any pattern.”

Bai Mu grumbled as he thought about his work. There was a lot to do, but finding a few devil worshipers in this huge world was the very definition of an impossible task. They were relying on luck to aid them.

Bai Yun quickly looked through the documents, but he saw nothing more than descriptions of the scenes. He had seen enough of them during the Grand War, so there was no need to go through them. There was nothing in any of them about any suspects who could be devil worshipers. The biggest problem was that they had no idea what devil worshipers were, what they were after, or how they operated. Thus it was impossible to predict what they would do.

Bai Yun could probably tell them more about devil rituals that they could imagine. But he had no desire to bring any attention to himself. Besides he was not sure if it would be of any help in capturing the devil worshipers anyway.

The three of them sat down and continued to chat for a while longer. They talked about nothing in particular and quickly the time passed.

Suddenly Bai Yun felt his storage ring vibrate. He frowned for while and then looked through it. He was surprised by what he found.

”What happened?” His mother asked. The two of them had noticed Bai Yun's reaction.

”Its strange.” He relied. ”Zhang Zi just send me a message. Well technically he send a message to Long Tian. He wants to meet up two days later.”

”What for?” They were confused.

”Apparently there is an auction in three days and he invited me to it.” Bai Yun relied the contents of the message to his parents.

”That's right the auction.” Bai Mu exclaimed. ”I completely forgot about that.”

”What is this auction?” Both Bai Yun and Xiao Mei-er were confused by the auction. Neither of them had heard of it before.

”Its an auction that the Hunters Union conduct right before the youngsters championship. It is supposed to provide rare items for the last preparation before the championship. They figure that three months will be enough for someone to get a good grasp on whatever they bought. I didn't go for the auction when I was participating in the youngsters championship as I was busy training, but I did go the next year. It was interesting. There were a few good items there. Its not particularly important or anything, but quite a few people will be there. You should go and take a look.”

Even after his father explained about the auction, Bai Yun still looked pensive. ”I don't think that it would be a good idea to go meet Zhang Zi at the auction.” Bai Yun finally declared.

Bai Yun's parents shared a concerned look, but he missed it as he was thinking. ”What do you mean it would not be a good idea.” Xiao Me-er asked him gently. Bai Yun missed the concern in her voice though.

”Its rue that harboring a relationship with Zhang Zi would be very beneficial to me.” Bai Yun said. ”But it is too dangerous to meet up with him. There is a possibility that there could be Dao step cultivator there. My ability and identity would certainly be seen through by them. Even if there is no dao step cultivator there, it is still too dangerous, as I might leak some information about me. And even if I do go, there is no upside. I would be meeting him as Long Tian. I only intend to use that identity to travel around as an adventurer. It holds no reason for him to befriend Zhang Zi. More importantly I would be able to acquire better results, and buy better things if I were to go as Bai Yun. I can try and leave a good impression on Zhnag Zi even then, but with his personality it would be doubtful if he would remember me. That is the only downside though.”

For a moment there was nothing but silence in the garden. ”What about becoming friends with Zhang Zi?” His mother asked him softly.

”What is the point of doing so?” Bai Yun replied. ”It makes no sense. I know exactly how talented I am. It will be impossible for any of them to keep up with me. Even if I become friends with them, I will leave them behind soon enough. It makes no logical sense for me to befriend any of them.”
