Chapter 792: Searching for Lu Xiaofeng

“Happy…”
After dismissing a group of curious disciples, Bai Xiaosheng raised his eyes and asked with a smile, “You came to the capital so openly this time, and even told the people from Yipin Hall that you’d come to my residence to find me. Your main purpose isn’t to cause me trouble, is it?”
After learning Happy’s intentions, Bai Xiaosheng wasn’t worried at all about her provoking Yipin Hall. After all, he was well aware of the Mu family’s wealth. Among the once-four top gangs, the Mu family’s strength had gradually surpassed that of Yipin Hall, making it the strongest in the Central Plains. Even if Happy died ten or eight times in the capital, it wouldn’t have any real impact on the Mu family; it would only be Yipin Hall that suffered in the end.
Happy’s actions in the Heavenly Demon Caves could be hidden from others, but not from Bai Xiaosheng, who possessed the Tianji Inkstone. The corpses of the two legendary experts from the northern noble clans, “Jin Jiuyin Shi,” though cold, couldn’t compare to that of a “nine-tailed fox.”
Noticing the questioning look in Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes, Happy smiled faintly and didn’t hide anything. “I came this time not only to drink with you but also to ask you to help me figure out the whereabouts of some people.”
“Divination?” Bai Xiaosheng frowned slightly. “If you want to know someone’s information, why not ask my disciple, Fengling? Although she’s had some bad luck this time and lost much of her martial skill, she still has the ability to divine.”
“Fengling is probably focusing on her cultivation right now. I don’t want to disturb her. Since you’re free, as a master, you don’t have to always hand tasks over to your disciple, right?”
“…You really don’t know how to appreciate things.” Bai Xiaosheng helplessly took out the I Ching trigram disk. “Do you know how many people are waiting for me to divine for them right now? I’ve had to turn down all requests just to accompany you, and you still say I’m idle… Fine, fine. Next time you come to the capital, I’ll stay indoors and refuse to see you to avoid trouble.”
Happy chuckled.
Bai Xiaosheng was indeed right. As one’s realm improved, ordinary I Ching diviners couldn’t possibly figure out the whereabouts of experts at the Wuwei Realm, and those experts also used more and more methods to avoid detection.
Due to the feuds between gangs, Bai Xiaosheng, who possessed the Tianji Inkstone, was like a god worshipped by many gangs, who would bring offerings whenever they had problems…
Now, there were also rumors online about Bai Xiaosheng’s divination fees: the lowest starting price was two million taels of silver. If it was to determine the whereabouts of well-known experts, tens of millions of taels of silver were required.
This meeting by Bai Xiaosheng wasn’t just a free gesture between friends; he had also turned down many business deals. All of this was out of respect for the strongest expert and the largest gang in the Central Plains, as well as for his disciple Fengling.

“Go on, who’s going to suffer this time?” Bai Xiaosheng failed to live up to thethe outside world’s perception of him as a calm and lofty person at all.
Kai Xin smiled bitterly before saying cheerfully, “No one is suffering. Calculate Lu Xiaofeng’s location for me. I have a task recently that can only be completed by finding him…”
“Lu Xiaofeng?” Bai Xiaosheng was slightly surprised but nodded in understanding. “First Xi Men Chui Xue, now Lu Xiaofeng… Hmm, interesting.”
As he spoke, he didn’t ask in detail about the task Kai Xin was working on and instead prepared his meal utensils.
Kai Xin didn’t look up, continuing to pour wine into his mouth—after all, he couldn’t understand it anyway. He hadn’t had time to study the I Ching or similar things in all these years since entering the game.
“Strange…”
After fiddling with the I Ching trigram board for a while, Bai Xiaosheng’s brows gradually furrowed, and he looked solemnly at Kai Xin. “What task are you on? Even the Tianji Inkstone can’t determine Lu Xiaofeng’s location. This situation is quite rare.”
“…Can’t determine it.”
Kai Xin stopped pouring wine. “Not a single piece of information?”
“Heavenly secrets must not be revealed.”
“Then forget it. I’ll look it up online later.” Kai Xin was quite unfazed. After all, the NPCs involved this time were all powerful beings at the mythic level (per the setting, Lu Xiaofeng and Xi Men Chui Xue were at the same level), so such a situation wasn’t unusual.
Moreover…
Lu Xiaofeng was a very busy person. It would be easy enough to find him; there was no need to rely on the I Ching for predictions.
With the border mission approaching, even if they did find Lu Xiaofeng, they might not have time to go right away. They might need to calculate again later. So for Kai Xin, finding Lu Xiaofeng now wasn’t the top priority.
“You don’t care?”
Seeing Kai Xin’s reaction, Bai Xiaosheng quickly understood. “The border mission affects the entire martial world of Central China. You definitely have to go. That’s good.”
Bai Xiaosheng prepared to put away the I Ching trigram board.
“Wait. Since I’m already working, why not calculate the locations of a few more people for me?”
“You really are shameless.”
With a helpless expression, Bai Xiaosheng asked Kai Xin’s name.
“Coach.”
A cold glint flashed in Kai Xin’s eyes.
Hearing this name from Kai Xin, Bai Xiaosheng’s expression also changed slightly, his gentle uncle-like demeanor shifting a bit. “I thought killing them once would be enough.” Back then, Feng Ling was killed by people from the American Dragon Gate. Without those from the Dragon Gate, the people from Lingxiao Palace and Yipin Hall would never have dared to do anything to Feng Ling.

“…How is that possible?” Kai Xin took a small sip of wine and said, “I really can’t feel at ease unless this man is completely eliminated. In the next month, if we don’t drive this beast from the Central Plains away, I won’t be able to rest easy.”
“Mm.” Bai Xiaosheng understood.
Although the regional altars wouldn’t be attacked or affected during the imperial edict period, if a group of experts from America insisted on causing trouble for the Mu family, without experts like Kai Xin and Silver Fox to back them up, the Mu family’s situation would be extremely precarious.
It would also be difficult to secure those resource points…
“They’re still in the Central Plains right now, under the protection of Yipin Tang, hiding at their designated training sites!” Bai Xiaosheng said as he asked Kai Xin, “The question is, how do you plan to deal with these people?”
“Not a single one left.”
A determined, cold glint appeared in Kai Xin’s eyes:
“Meng Yun supplied them with a batch of Life and Death Dream Pills. Well, I’m curious to see how many more she can provide.”
“What if Meng Yun shows up at this time? What will you do?”
“Have her wait.” Kai Xin smiled mysteriously, “Among your disciples, there must be Meng Yun’s spies. With their testimony that I’m still in your mansion, this operation will be a sure success.” After a pause, he suddenly asked, “…Have you finished setting up the underground passage?”
“Of course.”
Bai Xiaosheng put away his I Ching trigram disk and led Kai Xin inside.
Bai Xiaosheng’s disciples received orders from their master: Bai Xiaosheng and Kai Xin had important matters to discuss in private, and no one was allowed to approach!
In another mansion in the capital, Meng Yun quickly learned of this news and replied, “Find a way to figure out Kai Xin’s bottom line for coming to the capital.”
