I Have Unparalleled Comprehension

Chapter 342 - 342: This Chessboard Is Good! (8000) _4

By the time he arrived at the government office, it was almost over.

Coincidentally, Song De saw Xu Bai and greeted him with cupped fists.”Lord Xu, I’ll be leaving tonight. The matters here have been settled, and I still have to report to the Heaven Inspectorate.”

There were actually many rules in the Heaven Inspectorate. For example, after dealing with various matters, they had to write a detailed account of the entire incident and submit it to the higher-ups.

After submitting it, the higher-ups would have to conduct a more detailed examination of this matter to verify its authenticity before it would truly be recorded in the file.

“I still need to stay here for a few more days.”Xu Bai cupped his hands.

“This cooperation with Lord Xu has been very pleasant. I won’t stay any longer. I’ll be leaving now. If Lord Xu is free in the future, you can come to the Heaven Saber Tower and tell me my name.”Song De also cupped his hands and said.

Just like when he came, Song De left very quickly. After saying this, he left.

“I might need to trouble you at the government office for the next few days.”Xu Bai watched Song De with his eyes until he disappeared into the corner of the street. Only then did he turn his head and speak to Zhou Ling.

“Lord Xu can stay as long as he wants in my place. However, when he said that he would invite a lady from the Spring Rain Pavilion, he was really joking.”” Xu Bai shook his head indifferently, indicating that he was just joking.

As the two of them were talking, the heads of the families looked at each other and then walked to Xu Bai.

“Lord Xu, we…” It was still the family head with the surname Zhao who took the lead. He hesitated and wanted to speak.

Xu Bai waved his hand and said,” There’s no need to say anything more. Since you’ve all contributed to this matter, let’s forget about the past. We’ll pretend that no one knows.””

In fact, Xu Bai had wanted to ask these people for the secret manual again, but he thought that if he did it too brazenly, he would be remembered by others.

He did not want his cheat to be discovered.

“I’m really grateful to Lord Xu. Lord Xu, if you ever come to the Purple Wood Mansion in the future, feel free to look for us if you need anything. We’ll do our best.”When the Zhao family head heard Xu Bai say that he would let bygones be bygones, his face was filled with surprise as he patted his chest and nromised.

He was not the only one. The other clan heads were also overjoyed. After all, it would be a great benefit for them if this matter could be resolved.

Following that, everyone present also left one after another. Those family heads all had relaxed expressions, and they were not as solemn as before.

The Zhou Manor ordered Xu Bai to stay in a superior room. The moment Xu Bai moved in, he took out the Nameless Saber Scripture.

As for the person who had killed the 12 sword formations, he had no idea for the time being. He did not care about it and wanted to fill up the book first.

Time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye, Xu Bai had stayed in the government office for another day.

On this day, other than the progress bar, he did not do anything else. The Nameless Saber Scripture had already reached the maximum level.

The newly acquired skill did not have any changes. It changed from the Third Form of Breaking to the Fourth Form of Breaking, becoming a Tier 5 skill.

[Breaking Four Stances (Level 5): Maximum level.]

Other than that, there were still eighteen nameless saber scriptures left. He temporarily put them aside and started to work on the wooden chessboard that he had obtained from Wang Shu.

Speaking of this chessboard, he had carefully checked it before he made the progress bar.

It was carved very exquisitely, so exquisitely that the lines on it did not decrease at all. It was even more detailed than some ordinary chessboards.

These were not the most important things. After all, the change in his appearance was not a surprise to him.

Most importantly, the progress bar was much slower than he had imagined.

According to his recent estimations, it was at least a sixth-rank skill, which corresponded to the fourth-rank stage.

Xu Bai was overjoyed after getting this accurate estimation, so he put all his energy on the chessboard.

“Lord Xu, your breakfast is here.”

Outside the door, a servant girl’s soft and crisp voice sounded.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all sent over by the Zhou Manor. The first thing Xu Bai did when he entered the government office was to make this request.

“Come in.” Xu Bai said with a smile as he played with the chessboard in his hand.

The servant girl carefully pushed open the door and carried the breakfast on a tray. She walked to Xu Bai with her head lowered and placed the tray on the table.

It had to be said that before Zhou Ling became a scholar and sat in this position, his family background was not thin. He seemed to be a rich family’s son.

Therefore, this government office of his was quite wealthy.

“Lord Xu, eat first. Call me when you’re done, and I’ll come and clean up the dishes.”The servant girl was very sensible and spoke in a reasonable manner.

After saying this, he carefully retreated out of the door and closed it.

Xu Bai ate his breakfast while playing with the chessboard in his hand, multitasking.

Some people ate with delicious food, some ate with beautiful women, and some ate with good wine. Only Xu Bai ate with the progress bar.

But… Smells good!

“Even if you are a girl from Spring Rain Pavilion, you can’t compare to the progress bar.”Xu Bai thought as he ate happily.

Soon, the food in front of him was all gone.

The tray was placed on the table. It should have been stable, but it was slightly tilted to one side..
