When White Crane woke up the next day, Nasha and the others were already waiting at Treney's house. Bai He instructed Elena and Ye Yu to stay behind while he rode with Treney and the others to Laurel's manor in the suburbs.
The Offutt family was worthy of being one of the three great families of the empire. Just by looking at this manor, one could tell how rich this family was. Bai He couldn't even count how many buildings of all sizes there were here, he just felt that it was a blur.
As soon as they entered the manor, someone came forward to welcome them. A servant rushed in to inform the manager.
The group dismounted and followed the servant who led the way. On the way, they met the manor manager who came to welcome them, as well as a 15 or 16-year-old youth.
"Big brother Gray, big sister Tracy, I heard that you found dragon blood, is that true? That's great." The young man got off his horse and handed it to a servant to lead. He ran to Gray's side and looked at him excitedly.
Gray glanced at Treny, who continued,""Harry, we didn't get dragon blood, but we found someone who could cure your sister.”As he spoke, he pointed at Bai He.
"Oh? Is it him?" He looked at the white crane with some doubt, his disappointment overflowing with words. He really couldn't see anything special about Bai He.
"My name is Harry. Please cure my sister. I can pay you a lot of money!”
Bai He looked at the youth indifferently and said in a lecturing tone,""I'll do my best, but I hope you understand that money can't solve all problems.”
Bai He was in a good mood today. In addition, he felt that the youth in front of him was not bad in nature. It was only because he was used to being spoiled that he said these words to him. Otherwise, Bai He would not have been bothered to speak to these arrogant and proud nobles.
The steward also felt that the young master's words were a little rude. However, it was no wonder. Ever since Miss was injured, countless people claimed to be able to cure Miss's illness. The Offate family was generous. Every healer who came here, regardless of whether they were cured or not, would receive a considerable sum of money, causing many swindlers to come knocking on their doors. However, he was very experienced. He knew that although White Crane didn't have an amazing appearance, if it didn't have any extraordinary skills, Treany and Gray wouldn't have brought him here.
After walking along the marble path for a long time, they finally arrived at the center of the manor. It was a group of concave-shaped buildings. In the center was a palace-like villa, which was supported by a ladder. In front of the villa was a wide square, and the entrance was facing a huge fountain.
Bai He was very surprised. How did this world that didn't understand mechanics operate such a large fountain?
At Treny's request, the butler led everyone straight to Laurel's room.
As he walked, he told everyone about Laurel's situation. Ever since Treney and the others left the Imperial Capital, Laurel had fallen into a coma. Laurel's mother had been crying every day. Even though the Offatt family was rich and powerful, they were still helpless and could only hope for a miracle.
The butler secretly observed Bai He's reaction as he introduced, but he saw that Bai He was only focused on admiring the various decorations and beautiful sculptures in the corridor, not paying attention to what he was saying. He couldn't help but worry.
Laurel's room wasn't big and gave people a very comfortable feeling. The thick animal skin carpet on the ground was made of some unknown beast's fur. The soft and smooth fur reached up to his feet, making it very comfortable to step on.
Laurel was lying quietly on the bed, wearing a moon-white dress.
Bai He walked up and carefully examined her face. Unlike the wild beauty of Tracy, Laurel had a delicate beauty. The gentle sunlight gently sprinkled on her pale face, as if she could not bear to wake up the sleeping girl.
Laurel's skin was even fairer than Nasha and Tracy's. She had long eyelashes, a straight nose, and a cherry-like mouth. She was like a cute doll, making the white crane involuntarily want to protect and protect her.
After looking for a long time, the white crane realized that Nasha and Treney were staring at it, their eyes filled with anticipation.
"Please leave. I want to treat her.”Bai He pretended to examine it and said.
"Why do you want us to go out?" said Harry grumpily.
"This is my habit." Bai He couldn't find a reasonable explanation either.
"No, I can't let sister be alone with you! Please treat me like this. I'll give you double the money.”Harry didn't trust the crane at all.
"If that's the case, you'll have to find someone else.”Bai He said indifferently.
Infuriated by the crane's attitude, Harry said loudly,"You're a liar! Why aren't we allowed to watch from the side when he's treating his injuries? Who knows what you will do to my sister? Maybe you just wanted to kidnap her! If you don't treat my sister's injuries, don't even think about leaving this place. I'll treat you as a liar and hand you over to the Imperial Capital's law enforcement team!”
"Are you threatening me?" The white crane stared at him." I'm here because I promised Teresa and Nasha. Your sister's life and death have nothing to do with me, and I don't care about your money. You keep talking about money. Maybe if you pile gold coins on your sister, she will wake up.”
Harry stared blankly at the crane, feeling an inexplicable sense of oppression. As the young master of the Offat family, no one had ever dared to speak to him like this. Did this young man really not care about the Offate family's money and power, or was he just putting on an act?
The White Crane gave him an answer with its actions. He no longer paid attention to this noble young master and turned around to walk towards the door.
Treany pulled White Crane back. White Crane didn't say anything and just looked at her silently.
"Why do you have to be angry with a child?”Treney looked at the white crane with some resentment.
"I didn't want this to happen either. It's just that if you guys stay here, I won't be able to treat your friend.”Bai He spread his hands, his face helpless.
"Can you give me a reason?" Treney stared at the white crane as if she wanted to see through its heart.
Bai He looked at her without flinching.
Finally, Tracy sighed softly."Let's all go out. I'm willing to vouch for him.”She no longer paid attention to the crowd and walked out of the door first.
Bai He quietly looked at the girl on the bed. He wasn't good at healing magic. The reason why he was so confident was because he heard from Tracy that dragon blood could cure Laurel's injuries, and he himself had dragon blood. His body had evolved from the body of the strongest dragon.
He bit his index finger and a drop of blood fell into Laurel's mouth.
Laurel's originally chaotic mental power immediately gathered in an orderly manner. If it was dragon's blood, perhaps it would require a lot to achieve this effect. However, how could the blood of a dragon compare to the White Crane, who was a Dark Master God? Just one drop was enough.
Laurel was indeed born into a family that specialized in mental magic. The white crane could sense that Laurel's mental power was far greater than Nasha's, let alone Treney and Gray's.
However, the white crane did not know that it was actually his blood that had increased Laurel's mental power.
When everyone came in, Laurel had already slowly opened her eyes. In a trance, she felt as if there were many people surrounding her. A back was gradually leaving her line of sight. It was so eye-catching.
Trene and Nasha cried tears of joy. Nasha shook Laurel's hand.
"What happened? Why are you here?" Laurel asked in confusion.
The white crane was not very interested in this reunion scene. In addition, Harry's tone really annoyed him, so when he saw Laurel wake up, he left.
Everyone's attention was on Laurel, so no one noticed the lonely back of the white crane.
When Bai He arrived at the main street of the imperial capital, it was already noon. After coming here, he did not have the opportunity to experience the local customs of this city. Now that he had a rare moment of leisure, he naturally could not let it go.
"Master, you don't seem to be in a good mood!”A cute black bird suddenly flew over and landed on the White Crane's shoulder. It was the Divine Beast of Darkness.
"Xiao Hei, why are you here?”Bai He asked.
"It was Ye Yu, that girl, who insisted that I follow. Hmm, the food in that Treney's house was really delicious.”Blackie wiped its mouth with its shiny feathers, obviously still savoring the delicious breakfast.
"Alright, let's see what delicious food there is in the human world!”Bai He's spirit shook.
He strolled into a lavishly decorated tavern. It was the best time for business in the tavern, and it was already full.
"I'm sorry, young master. There are quite a lot of people in the store today. Please squeeze with other customers! I'm really sorry!"
Bai He smiled and nodded. When he arrived on the second floor, he suddenly found a young man drinking alone at a table by the window. There were four to five people at each table in the store, so the young man's position was particularly eye-catching.
Bai He walked towards that position, but the shop assistant behind him stopped him apologetically."Young master, you'd better not sit there.”
"Oh? Why?" Bai He asked in surprise.
"You're not from Hillford, are you?" The shop assistant looked at Bai He and nodded, then continued,"That's a very famous person in the Imperial Capital. He's the number one young swordsman in the Imperial Capital, the commander of the Imperial Guards, Lord Yu Feng. You know, these high-ranking officials and nobles all have some tempers. If there's any conflict, this small shop can't bear it…"
"Isn't the commander of the imperial guards a human?" Bai He interrupted the waiter and said loudly.
Everyone heard it and looked at Bai He together. On the contrary, the youth called Yu Feng didn't pay any attention to him. He only drank while looking out the window.
The shop assistant broke out in cold sweat. He looked at Yu Feng. He felt that Bai He's words must have angered that noble lord. This time, the shop's business would not be able to continue.
"This…Young Master, Young Master, you really know how to joke.”the waiter said in a trembling voice.
"It's a human, that's good. I don't like to sit with magical beasts.”Bai He said lightly, then walked towards the table. He sat down opposite Yu Feng.
Bai He really did not have a good impression of these nobles. These people always relied on their status as nobles to do whatever they wanted. Bai He had already made up his mind to teach this guard commander a lesson.
Unexpectedly, Yu Feng didn't have any special reaction to Bai He's seating. He just casually raised his eyes to size him up before lowering his head to continue drinking.
The White Crane naturally wouldn't take the initiative to strike up a conversation with him, so it ordered a few dishes and some wine before pouring itself a drink.
Little Black seemed to be very interested in the wine. It immediately landed on the table and chirped at the White Crane. In front of humans, it would not reveal its ability to speak.
"Do you want to drink?" Bai He looked at Xiao Hei with interest and poured some wine into the cup.
Blackie didn't stand on ceremony. It chirped excitedly and put its sharp beak into the glass, drinking the wine in one gulp.
Yu Feng, who was sitting at the same table, had clearly never seen such an interesting bird before. He stopped drinking and looked at the cute bird curiously. He even let out a " tsk tsk " sound of praise.
"Hey, big brother, look at that bird. It's so interesting!”A young female voice suddenly came from the neighboring table.
"Yes, yes! Mesa, go ask its owner and ask him to sell this bird to us!”another voice said.
Bai He looked sideways and saw five people at the table next to him. Two of them were burly and looked like bodyguards. They stood on both sides, their eyes full of vigilance. There was also a mature beauty who looked about 25 or 26 years old. She had a solemn expression and looked experienced. The ones who had just spoken were a pair of twin siblings. The two of them were like exquisite jade dolls, looking very cute.
At this moment, the mature beauty smiled and walked over.
A deep voice suddenly sounded in Bai He's ears.""They are one of the five great families of the empire, the heir of the Sarento family. You have to be careful.”
Yu Feng, who was sitting at the same table, reminded Bai He. This caused Bai He to have a good impression of him.
"Hello, I'm Mei Sha." The mature beauty stopped in front of Bai He and said politely.
Bai He took a sip from the wine cup and asked,"What's the matter?"
"Let's get straight to the point." Meisha did not lose her sense of propriety because of the white crane's careless attitude." My two little masters like your little bird very much. I hope you can part with it.”
"Just like that?" The corners of Bai He's mouth curled into a cold smile. Just now at Laurel's house, he had already had enough of these rich nobles 'self-righteous thoughts, as if money could buy everything.
"Yes." " I'll give you whatever you want," Mei Sha said politely.”
"Not interested!" Bai He said coldly," If there's nothing else, please don't disturb my drinking.”
Meisha smiled. Although she had been rejected, she did not look discouraged at all. She reached into her pocket, took out a bag of gold coins from her clothes, and threw it on the table.
"Are you satisfied with these?"
Greed appeared in the eyes of the surrounding people. This bag of gold coins was enough for a family of five to enjoy for the rest of their lives.
The white crane was unmoved. It only drank wine while looking at the scenery on the street.
The originally noisy tavern suddenly quieted down. Even Yu Feng stopped drinking and looked at Mei Sha and Bai He with interest.
Meisha clearly didn't expect that Bai He would remain unmoved in the face of the windfall. She was slightly stunned, but then she smiled as if she had understood something. Was he trying to raise the price? It wasn't like she hadn't seen such a person before.
"I'm waiting for your reply!" Mesa put in another bag of gold coins.
" If I pay three times the price," Bai He put down his wine cup and said coldly,""Are you willing to sleep with him?" He pointed at the beggar on the street.
Mesa flew into a rage. This sentence was simply a great insult. She felt that buying a bird with a large sum of money was already a great favor, and this young man not only did not know what was good for him, but also spoke rudely.
Two bodyguards walked up and placed their hands on the hilts of their swords. They were waiting for Mesa's order to cut this rude civilian into pieces.
"You insulted me, you have to pay the price!”Mesa's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
"There's a saying that you should have heard before." Bai He downed the wine in his cup and said nonchalantly,"People will insult themselves and others will insult them!"
"Do you know who we are?”The elder brother of the twins walked over." How dare a lowly commoner like you say such things? Do you want to die?”
"The heir of the Salento family, right?”Bai He's sharp gaze swept over, causing the little boy to involuntarily shudder." I've never killed a child before, but I don't mind making an exception for you.”
"Hahaha, you're really interesting!”The younger twin sister suddenly laughed, as if she had heard an interesting story." Do you think you can beat Camu?”She pointed at one of the bodyguards.
Bai He smiled disdainfully but didn't say anything, pouring another cup of wine. Even though he was surrounded, he didn't stop drinking. This leisurely manner made Yu Feng, the number one young swordsman in the Imperial City, feel very happy.
Meisha and the others also saw Yu Feng, but it was inconvenient for them to greet him. After all, he was the leader of the Imperial Guards. Once there was a dispute, he had the obligation to stop it. Even the nobles could not disobey orders, so it was better not to greet him. This way, they could save each other a lot of trouble.
Yu Feng's intuition told him that Bai He was an expert. He wanted to see how Bai He would deal with the twins, who were famous for being difficult to deal with, so he pretended not to know Mei Sha and the others.
White Crane's attitude angered Carm. He was originally a wanted bandit in the empire, but he was pardoned because of the Sarantto family. From then on, he became the twins 'bodyguard. In terms of strength, he was also a famous figure in the Imperial City.
Carm roared in rage, and his long sword brought with it a strong gust of wind as it slashed towards the white crane's head.
The surrounding customers exclaimed in surprise, while Mei Sha and the twins looked pleased.
At this moment, a miracle happened. White Crane didn't even look at it and stretched out its right hand to firmly grab the sword that was coming down. Carm desperately wanted to pull back the sword, but the sword didn't move at all, as if it had taken root.
Everyone revealed a shocked expression, even Yu Feng was no exception. No matter how hard a pair of hands were, it was impossible for them to remain unscathed under the heavy slash of a long sword, not to mention that the sword was filled with fighting spirit! However, he immediately discovered the reason. It turned out that a layer of solid ice had condensed on Bai He's hand the moment he came into contact with the sword's edge. It was this layer of solid ice that had allowed his hand to remain unharmed.
Of course, with Bai He's ability, this was completely unnecessary. The only reason he did this was because he didn't want it to be too shocking. However, he did not expect that this alone would be enough to make him famous in the Imperial City. This was because a mage's body was very fragile, and Bai He had single-handedly received a full-powered attack from a Great Swordsman. This meant that he had extraordinary martial arts skills.
It was unknown whether it was because Kam had used too much strength or because he was angry out of humiliation, but his face was as red as a pig's liver. In his anger, he lost his rationality, let go of his long sword, and swung a heavy fist at the white crane's head.
The white crane slightly tilted its body and grabbed his wrist. Carm's huge body flew out of the window of the second floor of the restaurant like a kite with a broken string and fell heavily on the ground.
" You, you..." Mei Sha was so scared that she couldn't speak. The other bodyguard seemed to have just reacted. He roared and stabbed the short dagger in his hand at Bai He's chest. However, his skills were not even as good as Carm's, and he was thrown out of the window by the white crane.
The customers had never seen such a scene before, so they cheered loudly. Bai He smiled politely at everyone.
This was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire for Mei Sha and the others.
At this moment, a flurry of footsteps came from the staircase. A pair of silver-robed warriors rushed over with swords in their hands. They were the security forces of the Imperial Capital.
"Who is causing trouble here!" The leader of the small team shouted in an imposing manner.
"He hit my subordinate, arrest him!" Mei Sha pointed at the white crane." I'm from the Salento family!”
"Stop!" Before the warriors could take him away, Yu Feng suddenly stood up. When he was sitting there, he thought that he was a handsome and elegant noble. After he shouted, he added a bit of boldness and unruly, mixing two different kinds of male charm on him.
"Lord, Lord Yu Feng!" The few warriors were only the lowest grade soldiers. Seeing Yu Feng, they didn't dare to say anything and hurriedly bowed.
Although the commander of the Imperial Guards wasn't the direct superior of these soldiers in charge of security, Yu Feng was already the idol of the young people in the Imperial Capital. He enjoyed a high reputation in the military. To these soldiers, following Lord Yu Feng's orders was an honor.
"This is just a misunderstanding. You guys can continue patrolling.”Yu Feng revealed a bright smile, as if he was chatting with an old friend. The few soldiers only felt abnormally excited. They responded loudly and turned around to go downstairs without any hesitation.
"Lord Yu Feng, what do you mean by this!”Mesa asked unhappily.
"Miss Mesa, you don't want to make a big deal out of this, right? If word gets out, it might have a negative impact on the reputation of the Salento family.”Yu Feng laughed.
Mei Sha knew that Yu Feng was telling the truth. Moreover, with Yu Feng here, she couldn't say anything more. She could only look at Bai He coldly and leave resentfully.
Bai He continued to drink leisurely, not taking Mei Sha seriously at all, and also ignoring Yu Feng who had helped him out of his predicament, as if nothing had happened.
Seeing that there was nothing to see, the surrounding customers gradually dispersed. Some busybodies gathered around the well-informed people and began to inquire about the divine White Crane. It actually had such extraordinary skills and did not take the Salento family seriously. For a time, there were many different opinions. Some people even claimed that Prince Ocard must have recruited a new expert to be so arrogant.
"You don't have to thank me. I just don't want those soldiers to die in vain.”Yu Feng returned to his seat, poured a cup of wine and said to Bai He.
"Well, since you put it that way, I'm embarrassed not to thank you. How about this, I'll pay for your drinks.”Bai He said to Yu Feng with a smile.
"Haha, it's a deal. Oh right, you're not from Hillford, are you? How about a drink together?" Yu Feng raised his wine cup and then downed it.
Bai He didn't stand on ceremony and returned the toast, saying lightly,"I'm just a commoner, a bard.”As he spoke, he raised his cup to Yu Feng to express his gratitude, then downed it in one gulp.
Yu Feng also raised his cup and drank the wine in one gulp. He then laughed loudly and said,"Haha, you're really an interesting person. I'm Yu Feng, how about we be friends?”
"That depends on your alcohol tolerance. My name is Bai He.”Bai He admired Yu Feng very much. He felt that this was the first time he had seen Yu Feng's bearing and demeanor in this world, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of him.
"Alright, I'll let you crawl out today!”Yu Feng was in high spirits, pouring another cup and downing it in one gulp.
The two of them drank one glass after another and chatted as they drank. The more they chatted, the more they hit it off. They both regretted not meeting each other earlier.
However, the two of them were not as good at drinking as they seemed. They did not drink much, but their faces were already red and their voices were loud.
"You actually cured Laurel's injuries?”"Even the Archbishop of the Imperial Capital can't do anything about it!" Yu Feng exclaimed. You really are an amazing guy!”
"Hmph, don't compare me to those useless old charlatans!”The White Crane was almost done drinking, and in its tipsy state, it had returned to its previous straightforward nature. It also began to speak without restraint, not hiding its disgust for the Divine Hall at all.
"Impressive!" Yu Feng gave him a thumbs up. He was also a little tipsy. "You are the first person who dares to say that about Archbishop Kanuo. However, Laurel is a famous beauty in the Imperial Capital. You are her savior. If you work harder, you might be able to woo her!”
"Hehehe…"
The two drunkards understood and laughed evilly. It had been a long time since Bai He had been so happy. This was like drinking and chatting with a bunch of bad friends in university, discussing his experience in chasing girls. Men's topics could never be separated from these.
As he spoke, the street was in an uproar. The two of them looked in the direction of the voice and saw a group of people dressed as priests passing through the street.
"It's the temple that's giving the Holy Communion. There would be one every ten days, mainly to help the poor. However, there were many noble young masters who were there to receive charity.”Yu Feng explained.
"Oh? Why?" Bai He asked in surprise.
"Just look at the girl walking in front and you will know why.”Yu Feng pointed below." She's the female disciple of the Archbishop of the Imperial City's Temple. Her name is Erlini. She's the number one beauty in the capital!"
"Oh?" Bai He looked over carefully. His vision was much stronger than humans.
That girl was indeed the number one beauty in the Imperial Capital. She had an angelic face that could rival Elena's, and her gentle gaze was as warm as the winter sun. She felt like an angel, an angel who had fallen into the mortal world.
"Don't even think about her!" Yu Feng's words pulled Bai He's attention back.
"I'm just reminding you out of kindness that priests are not allowed to get married. They must be holy virgins.”
"Is that so?" The corners of Bai He's mouth curled into a contemptuous smile.""I will make her abandon her faith!”
Yu Feng suddenly felt that Bai He made him feel a little afraid. When he said those words just now, there was suddenly an incomparable domineering aura, as if everything in the world should be stepped on by him.
"Hmph, if I were the messenger of justice, I would definitely challenge you to a duel, you complete demon!”
"Haha, I really admire your judgment!”Bai He laughed loudly.
"You are really boasting shamelessly." Of course, Yu Feng didn't know that Bai He was just telling the truth." But I still have to remind you that you will be judged by the religious court if you pursue the priestess. Don't do anything rash.”
"Right, since there's a first place, there should be a second and third place, right?”Bai He changed the topic.
"Of course," Yu Feng looked as if he had studied it deeply." There are three beauties in the Imperial Capital. Other than Erlini, there are also Trene and Laurel.”
At this point, he paused and said with some regret,"It's a pity that although I'm known as the number one playboy in the Imperial Capital, I didn't win the favor of a beauty. Putting aside the fact that she's a high priest, Tracy hates men, and Laurel is too idealistic when it comes to love. She doesn't even care about a playboy like me.”
"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to be such an expert!”Bai He laughed." In my opinion, conquering a woman is much easier than conquering a country. Whether it's Erlini, Trene, or Laurel, as long as I want it, there's nothing I can't get!”
As Bai He spoke, he suddenly noticed Yu Feng's expression change drastically. Just as he was about to turn around, he heard a clear female voice behind him.
"Hello, Lord Yu Feng! I didn't expect you to be here."
The white crane turned its head and was surprised to find Laurel, Trene, Nasha, Gray, Harry, Buck, and Evan at the staircase.#
