Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Su Meng heard Xu Bail s words, her big eyes were filled with joy.

“That's great.”

“What happened?”

“Master, can you come to my birthday party tomorrow?”

“Sure.”

Xu Bai nodded without thinking. It was his disciple's birthday, so as his master, he naturally had to be present.

When Su Meng saw this, she smiled so much that her eyes almost narrowed into a line. “It's great that Master can attend. I'll tell my mother now and ask her to add your name.”

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows and quickly reached out to stop Su Meng, who was about to make a call.

“Wait a minute.”

“What's wrong, Master?”

“Your birthday… How many people are there?”

“I don't know.”

Su Meng shook her head. “They're probably some guests from the banking circle, some female celebrities who came to sing on their birthdays, and some people from Grandpa's side.”

Xu Bai sighed and shook his head. “Forget it then. I'm not going.”

Su Meng's eyes widened. “Why?”

Xu Bai shrugged. “It's too high-class.”

He had thought that Su Meng would invite him to her birthday party. At most, it would be a hotel, a private room, and his friends to join in the fun.

In the end, it was a group of people from the financial world, followed by people from the entertainment industry and even friends from their families.

Su Meng's family was the famous Su Banking Group.

Let's put it this way.

If there was someone in Feng City who was unlucky… No, it should be said that there was someone who was lucky. Then, it was very likely that he was born in a maternity hospital invested in by the Su Corporation. Then, he would drink the Su Corporation's milk and attend the kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, and university invested in by the Su Corporation…

If An Ya's An Group was known as the biggest corporation in the Federation, then Su Meng's Su family was the local tyrant of Feng City.

Su Bancheng!

Half a city in this name already represented everything.

All in all.

Xu Bai shook his head and said to Su Meng, “That scene isn't suitable for me. Besides, I've never been there before. Let's forget it.”

When he took care of Su Meng back then, he did not know her identity. When he found out later, he did not have any other thoughts.

For example, relying on his disciple to complete a transition in his identity.

Nothing.

Xu Bai still felt that the brisket noodles by the roadside were not much different from the brisket noodles in five-star hotels.

In fact, if he were to evaluate it, he would think that the fish brisket noodles by the roadside would taste better.

The higher the occasion, the more rules there were.

Su Meng widened her eyes. There seemed to be tears in her eyes. “Master, are you not coming to my birthday?”

Xu Bai smiled. He thought for a moment and looked at Su Meng. “How about this? I won't go to the banquet tomorrow. After you attend the banquet, if you have time, come to Old Factory Street. I'll treat you to a barbecue to celebrate your birthday. How about that?”

Su Meng blinked.

She seemed to be thinking about this suggestion.

After Xu Bai finished speaking, he smiled at Su Meng.

After a while.

Su Meng seemed to have finished thinking and looked at Xu Bai. “Then will you buy me a cake?”

Xu Bai smiled.

“Of course. Moreover, there's a pastry shop on Old Factory Street that has been around for a hundred years. The taste is not inferior to those cakes that cost thousands. If you come over tomorrow, I'll bring you to try it.”

“All right, then.”

When Su Meng heard this, she gave up on asking Xu Bai to attend her birthday banquet tomorrow. However, she was afraid that Xu Bai would lie to her, so she stretched out her right hand. “Pinky promise. Don't lie to me.” Xu Bai laughed and stretched out his finger to hook hers. “Pinky promise, hang yourself for a hundred years…”

“Don't change!”

Just as Xu Bai retracted his finger, the phone in his pocket rang.

After Xu Bai took out his phone, he looked at the caller ID.

He answered the call.

After a while.

Xu Bai hummed and looked at his watch. “I'll be there in an hour.”

With that,

Xu Bai hung up the phone, stood up, and said to Su Meng, “I'm going out for a while.”

“Is it a case?”

“No, a friend. Something. I'll be back this afternoon. Call me if you need me.”

“Alright, Master, take care.”

“Yeah. ”

Xu Bai waved his hand without turning his head.

An hour later.

After Xu Bai walked out of the subway, he lowered his head and took off the Hundred Transformations Mask on his face. Then, he followed the crowd that seemed to be abnormally crowded from morning to night and squeezed into the pawn shop that had come yesterday.

“Old…'

Xu Bai walked in and looked at the figure behind the iron fence. Just as he was about to speak, he looked up at the figure and instantly changed his words. “Where's your grandfather?”

Today, Zhu Nianyan, who had changed into clothes similar to those of a biker girl and even had smoky makeup on, rubbed her eyes and was stunned when she saw Xu Bai walk in.

The next second.

Zhu Nianyan left her seat with a whoosh and opened the iron fence. She ran to Xu Bai and turned around to look behind her. After seemingly confirming that there was no danger behind her, she turned around again and said to Xu Bai in a low voice, “Why are you here?” Xu Bai was slightly stunned. “Your master…”

Before he could finish his sentence.

Zhu Nianyan had already grabbed Xu Bail s arm and walked out of the door. She hurriedly said, “Leave quickly. She'll be in danger if she finds you.”

Danger.

Who was she?

A question mark involuntarily popped up on Xu Bail s head.

He had come here because Zhu Cong had called him and said that he had found a way to completely repair his foundation.

Xu Bai had already told Zhu Cong that he would be tine after resting tor a while, but Zhu Cong did not believe him at all. Xu Bai had no choice but to raise his external level to Level 11 and plan to come over to prevent Zhu Cong from thinking about this.

But what was the situation now?

Xu Bai thought about it and narrowed his eyes. He looked at Zhu Nianyan, who was pulling him out of the door. Was the old man in trouble?

“What's going on?” “Heavenly Sword… don't ask anymore. Leave quickly.”

“Heavenly Sword?”

“Aiya, don't ask anymore. If she sees…”

Bai!”

Zhu Nianyan, who was pulling Xu Bai and trying her best to walk towards the door, was shocked. She subconsciously moved her feet, as if she wanted to hide Xu Bai behind her.

But…

Zhu Nianyan seemed to have forgotten something. She was not as tall as Xu Bai. Even if she tiptoed, she could not hide Xu Bail s handsome face.

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and looked at the familiar person walking down the stairs.

Cold-faced Tiger An Ya!

Zhu Nianyan gulped and forced a smile when she saw An Ya walking down. “Sister An, he's my boyfriend. He's here to play with me. I'll leave with him first..

As she spoke, Zhu Nianyan turned around again and pulled Xu Bai away, preparing to leave.

What the hell?

When did I become her boyfriend?

Why didn't I know that?

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.

The next second.

My damned charm!

An Ya's expression was cold.

“Stop right there.”

“Gah. ”

Xu Bai stopped next to him. He lowered his head and muttered, “I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die.” Then, he took a deep breath and turned around again. He forced a smile and looked at An Ya.

“Sister An, he doesn't know anything.”

“I didn't ask you.”

An Ya glanced at Zhu Nianyan and then at Xu Bai.

The next second.

An Ya's thin lips curved into a beautiful smile. Her eyes were clear and emotionless, and her cold eyes seemed to have conjured an iceberg. However, when she spoke, her tone was gentle. “Feng City is indeed our Agent Xu's hunting ground. You have girlfriends everywhere. However, when did you start dating your new girlfriend?”

Indeed.

She was putting him in a tough spot.

But…

Xu Bai pretended not to hear her and looked at An Ya curiously.

“Team Leader An, why are you here?”

“Looking for someone. Didn't Agent Xu also come here to look for his girlfriend? However, does Agent Xu's girlfriend, Doctor Gao know about this?”

“She doesn't know.”

Zhu Nianyan was dumbfounded.

Hunting grounds?

So many girlfriends?

What did she mean?

Her head spun crazily. After a while, she reacted and couldn't help but open her mouth. She looked at Xu Bai. “You know Sister An?”

Xu Bai looked at Zhu Nianyan. “If possible, I hope I don't know her.”

He was sincere.

At this moment.

Zhu Cong, who had gone somewhere, walked in with two paper bags. When he saw the scene in the shop, he was slightly stunned. “Eh, Lil Bai, you're here. Come in and sit. Why are you standing here? Come, come, follow me in.” As he spoke.

Zhu Cong handed the two paper bags in his hand to his granddaughter, then called Xu Bai and prepared to walk in.

The next second.

Just as Zhu Cong placed his arm on Xu Bail s arm, he suddenly froze. Moreover, he seemed to be a little dumbfounded.

His Vitality was like mercury, growing endlessly.

Zhu Cong looked at Xu Bai in disbelief.

“You…”

“I told you, I'll be fine after some rest.”

Xu Bai naturally knew what Zhu Cong wanted to ask. He shrugged his shoulders and said, “However, those two pills of yours are really not bad. I ate them yesterday and went home to sleep. When I woke up this morning, I felt my energy returning.”

Don't think I'm senile because I'm old.

When Zhu Cong heard Xu Bail s words, he glanced at him expressionlessly.

The two pills from yesterday?

Huh.

I didn't even know that those two ordinary vitalitypills could have such good effects.

Zhu Cong narrowed his eyes and pulled Xu Bail s arm into the inner room. He walked to the sofa and gestured for Xu Bai to sit down before putting his right hand on Xu Bail s arm again.

An Ya, who had been standing silently at the side since the beginning, watched the scene in silence.

Zhu Nianyan hesitated for a moment and walked to An Ya's side. She said in a low voice, “Sister An, my grandfather took him in as his disciple yesterday, so he's not an ordinary person anymore. You can't erase his memory.”

An Ya turned to Zhu Nianyan and raised an eyebrow.
