AST 2339 – Well-doer of Nine Lifetimes, Bai Sheng, a Gift for You

Heishui City was huge, but it was still easy for Qing Shui to look for the Duke Palace. Furthermore, with its isolated location, nobody would notice even if it was destroyed. Of course, he wouldn’t do something so heartless.

Now, he had to think of a way for these people to do fewer of such atrocities, but he couldn’t think of a good way even after a long time pondering. Every power and every domain had its own set of circumstances. He couldn’t just do as he willed; he didn’t have that sort of abilities.

However, since he had already promised the villagers, he would have to do something about it. Some things couldn’t be terminated completely, but reducing them was possible. Hence, Qing Shui planned on observing the Hei Clan. It would be good if they could exercise restraint; otherwise, he would find another clan to replace them.

“Brother, send me to Duke Palace!” Qing Shui waved down a beast carriage which served as his choice of transportation.

The cart driver was a young man who had noticed that Qing Shui’s appearance was out of ordinary, and most importantly, he had great manners. It was possible that he was a member of the aristocracy, but these people usually had their own demonic beasts as transportation. It wasn’t possible that they would ride a beast carriage like his.

Still, even though those were his thoughts, he still smiled and said, “Alright! Sit well!”

Qing Shui nodded and shut his eyes to regain some energy. His thoughts went back and forth about what to do. This Hei Clan had committed many sins, but their powers were at the expense of the blood from countless others, with bones standing still and tall. A General’s accomplishment was built upon thousands of withered bones, much less than that of a powerful clan.

“Sir, we’ve arrived at Duke Palace!”

Qing Shui stepped down and paid the fares before fixing his attention on the luxurious manor in front of him.

That was the situation in the World of the Nine Continents. The extent of power and clan could be deduced from the manors. The greater their influences, the bigger their manors as well as the number of members. The manor in front of him was huge with doors standing at almost twenty meters high, fifteen meters wide. There were words written in gold.

Duke Palace!

The words were written in flamboyant and cursive calligraphy, with an indescribable arrogance. Qing Shui observed the forceful strokes which were filled with haughtiness. The words were well written, but there was something lacking. Words were just like humans, with just a glance, you could tell that the person who wrote it was domineering and brash.

Qing Shui could also feel what it was lacking too. It was reserve strength.

They were lacking in reserve strength!

The Hei Clan was the owner of Duke Palace, where the tyrant dwelled. With that logic, there should be great reserve strength here, why would they be lacking it? At this moment, a voice sounded. “Is there something wrong with the words? They were written by the owner of the Hei Clan; he’s an Art Maestro at Heishui, and writing is his forte.”

Qing Shui turned around and was met with a handsome, young man.

“It’s well written. You are?” Qing Shui smiled.

“I’m Bai Sheng. You don’t look familiar; how do I address you?” Bai Sheng laughed as he asked.

“I’m Qing Shui. I’m here to seek justice from the Hei Clan. Are they here?” Qing Shui retained his smile.

Qing Shui wasn’t afraid of letting his presence known. Qing Shui didn’t have anything to fear in the Demon King Domain, besides, this was a Duke Palace in the Water Nation. He didn’t mind much about Bai Sheng either. He didn’t care if he was a real member of the Bai Clan or someone from the Hei Clan pretending to be one.

“The Hei Clan runs the Duke Palace here. Brother Qing, I suggest that you don’t advance further. How are you going to fight the Duke Palace alone?” Bai Sheng frowned as he spoke sincerely.

“Thank you for your concern, but there’s no need to worry about me. If you’re really from the Bai Clan, then I don’t mind giving you a huge gift.” Qing Shui smiled.
