Chapter 614 The Trade Fair (1/2)

”How on earth did you manage to piss off Bai Du?” Bai Yin asked.

He wasn't too worried about Bai Du. The latter was a talented individual who had recently been promoted to Overlord Tier, but there were others just as brilliant as him in the tribe. He also knew for a fact that Gao Peng was a lot more talented than Bai Du.

What Bai Yin was concerned about was Bai Du's father, Bai Jiyuan, one of the chief hunters in the White Dragon tribe. Being one of the chief hunters of the tribe was already a remarkable thing in itself. He had also heard that Bai Jiyuan's Familiar, a Water Dragon Turtle, had reached the highest point of Overlord Tier. It could be promoted to Saint Tier at any moment. Also, Bai Jiyuan's influence encompassed most of the tribe. One could clearly see that the man himself was not someone who should be trifled with.

”I have no idea,” Gao Peng said. He told Bai Yin everything he saw and heard on the beach in the morning.

Bai Yin was silent for a moment before saying, ”Bai Ge might have been the one behind your attack.”

”Bai Ge?” Gao Peng asked.

”Yeah, he's Bai Du's younger brother,” Bai Yin said. ”He's the loose cannon of the family. He tends to take advantage of his brother's high standing. Bai Du, on the other hand, is quite the opposite. He's usually the more careful one. I don't think I've ever heard anyone say a single bad thing about him.”

He gave Gao Peng a toothy grin and said, ”Don't worry, I have some influence around this place. If any of them comes back to pick on you again, I'll be sure to give you a hand... Think of it as my way of saying thanks for the wonderful dinner you've prepared for me.”

Gao Peng nodded. He didn't even bother asking why Bai Yin wanted to help him.

It was just a matter of weighing the pros and cons of the situation. Bai Yin obviously saw that there was more to be gained from Gao Peng than from Bai Ge and the rest of his family.

No matter what ulterior motives the guy might have had for helping him, Gao Peng could not bring himself to hate him right now. He had to admit that he had truly underestimated Bai Yin. He also knew mediocrity when he saw it.

”Oh yeah, there's going to be a trade fair tomorrow in the village. Will you be going?” Bai Yin asked, suddenly remembering why he came to visit Gao Peng in the first place.

”A trade fair?” Gao Peng fell silent for a moment. He then said, ”I'm not part of the tribe. You sure an outsider like me is allowed to join your festivities?”

”Of course, the trade fairs held once every month, Bay Yin said. ”It won't just be the White Dragon tribe. People from other tribes in the vicinity will also be coming.”

”I guess it won't hurt to see what it's all about,” Gao Peng said with a smile.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Bai Yin shivered when he saw that smile. ”Don't smile at me like that. You're really giving me the creeps, you know that?”

He thought, What have I gotten myself into?

The next morning, Gao Peng told the high priestess about his intention to go to the trade fair. She did not object to it. Since he was invited to the White Dragon tribe by the high priestess herself, he figured that it was only proper to notify her about it beforehand.

The high priestess simply nodded in agreement as she fed her chickens.

”Go then. Little Yin has always been such a considerate child. Make sure you don't get yourself mixed up with the wrong crowd now,” she said with a laugh.

Gao Peng nodded. ”Don't worry, high priestess. I'll be careful.”

At the start of every month, the White Dragon tribe held a trade fair on a small island in a corner of the archipelago.

”The trade fair used to be open only to members of the White Dragon tribe,” Bay Yin explained. ”There are approximately 400,000 people scattered across the archipelago. That made it quite difficult for most of us to trade resources and monster ingredients with one another, so we decided to hold a monthly trade fair to facilitate our businesses.
