Chapter 690: Doubts Cleared! (1/2)
The abnormality of the Holy Snow Mountain, all the big forces gathering, and the strange attitude of the Snow Kingdom toward this matter…
Everything known to Bai Xiaofei was only the tip of the iceberg. He could not make out anything from it yet, not even a general direction.
In the end, I still arrived a little late. With a long sigh, Bai Xiaofei walked in one direction. Since I’m not familiar with it, let’s take advantage of this opportunity. Ah, talk about preparing at the last moment!
Nearly giving up on saving his situation, Bai Xiaofei headed to the temporary base of the Puppet Master Alliance.
Although the Puppet Master Alliance was open to all puppet masters, it actually was separated into internal and external.
External referred to all puppet masters registered with the alliance. The relationship between these people and the alliance was like that between temporary workers and bosses. Not firm but still strongly bound by mutual interests.
Internal referred to the people working in the Puppet Master Alliance. They held the core interests of the alliance and shouldered the task of developing it. In a sense, these talents were the real members.
The people currently stationed in the Holy Snow Mountain were all such ‘internal’ members.
After observing from outside for a while, Bai Xiaofei found a suitable target. Waiting until the target left the hold, Bai Xiaofei assumed his appearance and went in.
The Puppet Master Alliance sent a total of three Exquisite Rank experts, all of whom were branch masters of the nearest cities. There were also many Master and Grandmaster Ranks. Looking at their line-up, the Puppet Master Alliance was definitely the most extravagant party in the Holy Snow Mountain at present.
Other organizations simply didn’t have this many puppet masters.
Bai Xiaofei wandered around the hold for more than two hours. Except for getting to know some people, he made next to no progress. There was no sense of urgency that he could see from the Puppet Master Alliance, just as if they didn’t hear the news from Jackdaw.
Something was definitely wrong.
The Puppet Master Alliance could not sit idly by with something so important like an origin mine, so there was only one reason to explain their ease. They were putting on a front!
The more relaxed they appeared, the more nervous they might be. Bai Xiaofei was almost certain that there would be a good play from the Puppet Master Alliance during Jackdaw’s action the day after tomorrow.
Arriving at this conclusion, Bai Xiaofei felt that he had grasped something crucial, but it was a pity that this feeling passed before he could react.
He left the Puppet Master Alliance for the Martial Artist Alliance, where the atmosphere was exactly just the opposite. The Martial Artist Alliance was lively as everyone busily walked around while muttering about ‘Jackdaw’ and ‘magical beast’…
Alright, the Martial Artist Alliance is also eyeing this chunk of fat meat.
Bai Xiaofei smiled bitterly, then suddenly froze.
That’s right! How could I forget about that?!
Finally capturing the crucial hint from just now, he hurriedly ran out. Unlike his previous confused state, Bai Xiaofei now had a clear purpose – the Snow Kingdom troops stationed in the Holy Snow Mountain!
