Chapter 340: Chapter 260: Act First, Report Later, Tracking the Bai Family

"Alright, keep your disguise on. I’ll get you out of here first."

After patting her back to calm her for a while, Tang Wen waited for Bai You Ruo’s emotions to stabilize before leading her out of the room.

The moment they stepped out, the two of them saw Feng San Niang.

Tang Wen, naturally, wasn’t surprised.

Bai You Ruo’s eyes glazed over, and she was stunned by the woman’s beauty. ’A peerless beauty like this is by Tang Wen’s side,’ she thought. ’No wonder he wasn’t the least bit moved by me.’

Feng San Niang saw her too.

Women understand women best; a single glance is often enough to know what the other is thinking.

She could tell at a glance that the woman was dejected. After a moment’s thought, she said, "It’s good that you found her. It makes all of Young Master Tang’s restless days and nights worthwhile."

Tang Wen thought, ’That sentence is rather ambiguous.’

A warmth spread through Bai You Ruo’s heart. ’So Young Master Tang has been looking for me for so long?’

Tang Wen said directly, "Thank you for your cooperation, Lady Feng. I will be sure to properly thank you another day."

"And which day would ’another day’ be?" Feng San Niang wasn’t about to let him off the hook so easily.

Tang Wen frowned. Dealing with the Bai Family’s mess, it was really hard to say how long it would take.

Feng San Niang was naturally aware of this as well. She was just taking the opportunity to secure her benefits. "Let’s tentatively say seven days from now. If you don’t show up in seven days, what you owe me will double. If you don’t show up after another seven days, it will double again."

Tang Wen couldn’t help but laugh. "Lady Feng, you’d be a master at lending money."

"I’ll take that as a yes." After speaking, she turned her gaze to Bai You Ruo. "Young lady, I have a question for you. You rented out the courtyard, so how did you manage every night?"

Bai You Ruo came back to her senses. "With medicine. I brought a hallucinogenic Potion. I had the two young ladies take it before bed, and they would fall into a hallucination. Although it leaves the body weak, it’s harmless as long as it isn’t taken long-term."

The two parties bid their farewells. Tang Wen used his Stealth Technique to leave with Bai You Ruo, heading straight back to the residence where the White Tiger Tribe was staying.

"Bai Ningbing knows I’m hiding in the city, and our Bai Family’s Tracking Technique is very formidable. Will I get you into trouble by staying here?"

Bai You Ruo was as skittish as a startled bird.

She constantly scanned her surroundings on the way, terrified of being followed.

Tang Wen said, "Don’t worry. This place is absolutely safe. The Huang Family wouldn’t dare come here even if they lost their minds."

Just as he said that, a group descended from the sky.

Bai You Ruo was startled, but when she saw clearly that it was the White Tigers arriving, her fright turned to astonishment.

"These are the experts from the White Tiger Race?"

"That’s right. I recall your Bai Family has Fourth Grade experts as well?"

Bai You Ruo nodded. "Of course, and more than one."

"Is there some secret to becoming Fourth Grade?"

Seeing Tang Wen’s serious expression, Bai You Ruo gave a bitter smile. "Matters concerning the Fourth Grade... you think I would know?"

The White Tigers and the White Tiger Guard landed in the courtyard, followed by Shi Lei.

"Everyone, this is my friend, Miss Bai the Thirteenth of the Bai Family, Bai You Ruo."

After the introductions, Tang Wen looked at the group, his gaze landing on Shi Lei. "There’s another matter. Bai Ningbing has taken the Bai Family’s exploration team back with her, bringing news of her accomplishments and the alliance with the Huang Family. I have to stop her. Stop the Bai Family from allying with the Huang Family through her."

Bai You Ruo’s face flushed with excitement, but she immediately shook her head again. "She left several days ago. I’m afraid we can’t catch up."

"How did she travel? What kind of mounts?"

Bai You Ruo couldn’t answer.

Instead, it was Shi Lei who spoke up. "Our Martial Arts Hall received news that their party consists of about ten people. The leader is on an Extraordinary Mount, and the rest are on High-level Exotic Beasts."

After some consideration, he added, "I went to Sanlian City when I was younger. The distance between the two places is vast. Calculating the time, if they don’t have a Fifth Grade expert meeting them on the way... at my speed, if I set out now and travel day and night without stopping, I should be able to catch them within five days."

After speaking, he looked at the group of Fifth-Grade White Tigers.

The meaning was clear: if they took this young lady and chased them on the Fifth-Grade White Tigers, they could catch up.

But there was another problem. "How do we track them? Miss Bai, are you confident you can?"

Bai You Ruo was extremely dejected. "I’m not confident at all. I don’t know any Tracking techniques."

An impasse.

Still an impasse.

Tang Wen himself wasn’t skilled in Tracking either.

Besides, he had never even met this Bai Ningbing.

Shi Lei suddenly sent a telepathic message to Tang Wen. "Are you really going to get involved in the Bai Family’s affairs?

"It’s not that I want to dissuade you, but judging by their methods, they seem quite unscrupulous.

"I’ve heard that this Bai Family is also a Fourth Grade Clan. You should still act with caution, or you might bring disaster upon yourself."

Tang Wen naturally understood the reasoning.

Miss Bai the Thirteenth, Bai You Ruo, was actually quite ordinary in terms of ability.

However, her character was commendable. She lacked the self-righteous arrogance common among disciples of great families.

Only with someone like her could one cooperate with peace of mind.

If a piece of trash like Bai Ningbing, who would even kill her own family, were to take control of the Bai Family, White Stone City, and even Sanlian City, they would inevitably encroach upon the Southwest in the future.

That would be truly disadvantageous.

Moreover, Tang Wen was still thinking about obtaining a Fourth Grade Cultivation method through the Bai Family!

Besides, in these chaotic times, being ruthless is easy. You can just go on a killing spree. If you can’t kill the strong, you kill the weak.

But adhering to principles and restraining one’s greed is what’s truly rare!

Bai You Ruo was one of those principled people.

Even after suffering such a huge loss, she hadn’t promised Tang Wen any favorable conditions to chase down and "take care of" Bai Ningbing.

Tang Wen didn’t use a telepathic message. He spoke out loud in front of everyone, "Miss Bai and I already have an alliance. I will support whatever she decides to do. Miss Bai, what are your thoughts?"

Bai You Ruo was deeply moved. She took a breath and said, "If we can catch up, we must!"

"And after we catch them?"

Bai You Ruo blurted out, "Imprison Bai Ningbing and clean up the exploration team, bringing back only the key people. Or, I’ll bring back crucial evidence!"
