Xu Bai remembered that Zhu Cong had told him about the thief sect’s three bans.

One of them was that the thief sect never interacted with law enforcement personnel.

Strictly speaking, dealings here referred to dealings in all areas. In other words, one could not even say a word to law enforcement. This was also the excuse Zhu Cong used to part ways with Xu Bai.

At that time, Xu Bai believed it.

‘Right now?

I don’t believe you, old man. You’re so bad!

Indeed, Zhu Cong had never interacted with law enforcement personnel.

He had directly led the law enforcement officers to his lair. Not only that, but he had even made a deal with the law enforcement officers.

Tsk tsk.

This was no different from a mouse emboldened to bring snacks to the cat to wish it a happy new year.

Moreover, this rat was the leader ot the rat group.

Big brother.

Why did the sect master rebel?

The dignified leader of the thief sect, the 53rd sect master of the Miracle Hands Empty Sect, had actually openly made a deal with law enforcement personnel.

If this was in the past, he would have used three knives and six holes to apologize.

In the industry, his peers would probably raise the toilets of the Mystical Handless Sect.

As Xu Bai thought about this, he gradually looked at Zhu Cong with a hint of disdain.

Zhu Cong saw Xu Bai’s gaze and instantly understood it.

The next second.

Zhu Cong’s expression darkened. He couldn’t help but tug at his beard. He looked at Xu Bai and said angrily, “If I wasn’t worried that your foundation would be damaged and you wouldn’t be able to recover, would I have done

Xu Bai shrugged. “I’ll be fine after a nap. I told you, but you didn’t believe me.” Zhu Cong shook his head.

“Other than a monster like you, no one else can recover on their own when their foundation is damaged.”

Zhu Cong couldn’t help but complain. Then, he looked at An Ya and said, “Team Leader An, have you ever seen someone with a damaged foundation recover on their own?

An Ya shook her head coldly. She looked at Xu Bai and answered Zhu Congs question. “No, the foundation is the origin. It’s like the foundation has shattered. It’s impossible for it to repair itself unless it uses the Essence Replenishing Pill to repair its foundation.”

Zhu Cong spread his hands at Xu Bai. “Look, I’m right, right?”

Xu Bai ignored An Ya’s gaze and shrugged. “It can’t be helped. You said that I’ve been talented since I was young, which shows that you don’t trust me. Also, don’t use me as an excuse. I won’t take the blame.”

When he heard Zhu Cong introduce An Ya, he didn’t introduce her to the Feng City Police Department. In fact, Zhu Cong really didn’t know that An Ya was from the Feng City Police Department.

What did Zhu Cong say when he introduced An Ya?

It seemed to be the sky…

Heavens what?

Xu Bai looked at Zhu Cong.

Xu Bai seemed to have hit the nail on the head. He stroked his beard and changed the topic stiffly. “Alright, you’ve recovered. This is the most important thing.”

It was as Xu Bai had said.

Even without him, Zhu Cong might have considered it when An Ya came over and asked him if he knew anything about the theft case. However, he would still say it in the end.

If it were an ordinary law enforcement agency, he would abide by the iron law of the thief sect and directly answer questions from the law enforcement agencies.

But…

An Ya wasn’t here in the name of the Feng City Police Department. She was here in the name of the Heavenly Sword.

The Heavenly Sword was not an ordinary law enforcement agency. It was established by disciples of the various transcendent sects funded by the Federation to specially target the law enforcement agencies of the entire transcendent world.

Most importantly…

He couldn’t beat An Ya, but An Ya had the right to keep him in Feng City.

“So.”

Zhu Cong couldn’t admit defeat directly. Coincidentally, he thought of Xu Bai, whose foundation was damaged, so he decided to take advantage of the situation. He expressed that he had a junior whose foundation was damaged. If An Ya could think of a way to save him, he could send the information he knew to An Ya.

An Ya nodded in agreement.

A damaged foundation was different from a damaged foundation.

Su Meng’s foundation was damaged, her pure innate foundation was damaged, it was like her foundation was as fragile as tofu.

As for the damage to her Vitality-depleted foundation, it was the foundation she had just mentioned that had shattered.

However, most of the damage to the foundation was only worth one or a few low-level ones. In short, it was the kind of foundation that was scattered with small holes.

An Ya thought that Zhu Cong was referring to the third person whose foundation was damaged, so she didn’t think too much about it, even though she was already a step too late when she arrived at the place where Zhu Cong had given her the information.

However, she still followed the agreement and came to Zhu Cong.

He did not expect to see Xu Bai here.

That surprised her.

What surprised An Ya more was that Xu Bai was friends with the leader of the thief sect, the sect master of the Empty Sect, Zhu Cong. He was even the Pirate Commander who had disappeared from Feng City for five years with Zhu Cong.

Most importantly…

Xu Bai, whose foundation had been damaged because of the depletion of Vitality previously, had actually completely recovered. In fact, his Vitality was much richer than the Vitality she had felt previously.

This was too strange.

Just as she had said, there had never been anyone who could recover on their own after their foundation was damaged.

An Ya frowned and heaved a sigh of relief.

At the very least, she no longer had to worry about not being able to find the Dragon Heart Herb.

Her motive for finding the Dragon Heart Herb was to give it to Xu Bai to try and see if it would be effective on Xu Bai.

The reason why she felt this way was because she knew that Xu Bai had good luck. Perhaps if she directly consumed the Dragon Heart Herb, she might accidentally repair her foundation.

Even if there was no way to repair it, it could at least make up for some of the foundation. At that time, it would not be difficult to cultivate as a human cultivation martial artist.

‘Right now?

Whether or not they could find the Dragon Heart Herb was no longer Important. Anyway, the case belonged to Homeland security. It there was a headache, it should be Su Bancheng.

An Ya looked at the time on her watch and said, “Alright, sect master Zhu, I’m leaving.”

Zhu Cong stood up and said to An Ya, “Team Leader An, why don’t you stay for dinner?

Zhu Nianyan also stood up. “That’s right, Sister An. Why don’t you stay for a meal? Grandpa has already asked the chef from Fu Manlou to prepare the meal. It’ll be delivered later.”

An Ya smiled and said, “It’s not appropriate for me to join you for dinner.”

Zhu Nianyan raised her eyebrows. “Yes, why not?”

Zhu Cong seemed to have thought of something. As he smiled and spoke, he suddenly winked at Xu Bai, who was still sitting on the sofa.

Xu Bai looked at Zhu Cong’s gaze.

He wanted to say no.

But…

This was the first time Xu Bai had seen a hint of respect and fear on Zhu

Cong’s face. There was even a hint of flattery. This was an exceedingly rare occurrence. When the two of them had gone to the central area to pry open the safe of a department in the Federation, Zhu Cong had never been afraid.

Could it be that An Ya wasn’t an undercover agent of Homeland Security, but an undercover agent?

Xu Bai stood up and invited An Ya. “Why don’t you stay for dinner? I can take a ride. My car is still parked at the police station.”

He wasn’t giving in to An Ya.

‘It’s not.’

Xu Bai didn’t know why Zhu Cong was so afraid of An Ya, but he did not want Zhu Cong to encounter any undeserved calamity because of him.

After all, women were petty creatures.

This cold-faced tiger was even more so.

After Xu Bai extended the invitation, An Ya looked at Xu Bai and nodded. “Alright, I’ll send you back to the police station after eating.”

Xu Bai thanked him and prepared to sit on the sand again…

Before he could sit down, Zhu Cong grabbed him. “It’s good that you’re here. Come with me to Fu Manlou to bring the dishes back.”

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.

On the way.

Xu Bai asked Zhu Cong, who was walking beside him. “Old man, you seem to be afraid of An Ya. Who is she?”

“Join my sect.”

“What?”

“Join my sect. A year later, I’ll give you the position of sect master. You’ll be the next sect master and the leader of the thief sect.”

Xu Bai looked at Zhu Cong, who really did not give up. He raised his eyebrows. “Tell me what Identity this cold-faced tiger has first. I’m considering it.”

Zhu Cong was slightly stunned.

“Cold-faced tiger, who is this?”

“An Ya.”

Zhu Cong couldn’t help but shake his head. “She’s not a tiger.”

There was a pause.

Zhu Cong looked at Xu Bai and asked curiously, “Who gave you this nickname? How bold…

Xu Bai interrupted, “I named it. How is it? Isn’t it appropriate?”

Zhu Cong’s eyelids twitched as he sized up Xu Bai from head to toe. At the same time, he could not help but gasp.

Hiss!

“Team Leader An… do you know?”

“I know. Why?”

“…And then you’re perfectly fine!”

“What happened?”

Hearing Zhu Cong’s surprise, Xu Bai became even more curious about An Ya’s identity. “So, who exactly is this cold-faced tiger? You’re a sect master after all.

Could it be that An Ya’s real identity was a woman similar to the leader of the martial arts world in the transcendent world?

Zhu Cong did not answer Xu Bai’s question. Instead, he seemed to have thought of something.

He could finally tell.

When Xu Bai and An Ya were talking just now, he already felt that something was amiss.

But right now.

Zhu Cong finally understood.

An Ya was interested in this silly boy.

If it was someone else, even if it was the son of the sect master of the heavenly secrets sect, Su Bancheng, they would probably be beaten up until they could not find their way back, let alone face him.

That was what Zhu Cong thought. However, he still replied to Xu Bai l s question as usual, “I’ll tell you after you agree to join my sect.”

Xu Bai looked at Zhu Cong. “No room for negotiation?

Zhu Cong shook his head. “No room for negotiation.”

After all, he already knew one thing.

That was to let Xu Bai know that An Ya was from the Heavenly Sword Bureau. Nothing would happen to Xu Bai.

However, Zhu Cong was certain that if Team Leader An found out, his own sect would be banned by the Heavenly Sword.
