1562 Vial of Blood
"So, what do you need me to do?" Bai Ning urged in an impatient manner.
Yuan calmly said, "You have a brother, right?"
"Yes… I have several younger brothers, in fact. Why are you asking?" Bai Ning raised her eyebrows with a confused look.
"I am looking for one of them. According to what I was told, he wields a pair of gauntlets." Yuan said, pretending he didn't know Bai Xutao.
"Gaunlet… I know three of them that wield them. Any more specifics?"
"I heard he came down to the lower heaven for some mission."
"Oh, then you must be talking about Bai Xutao, our youngest. Why are you looking for him?"
"I met him not long ago and couldn't finish our conversation because he had to leave suddenly. I'd like to speak with him and repay a little debt I owe him." Yuan said with a calm smile on his face.
"Is that so…" Bai Ning's face became a little nervous as she continued, "Unfortunately, Bai Xutao was heavily injured not long ago, so I had to send him back home to the upper heavens, so you might have to wait until he recovers."
"Heavily injured in the lower heavens? What happened to him?" Yuan acted surprised to hear this information.
"He was viciously beaten by this masked individual."
"What? Why would this individual do such a horrible thing?" Yuan's eyes widened with shock.
"My brother claimed it was a random attack—that he has no idea why he was being attacked. However, Bai Xutao is a troublemaker, so I wouldn't be surprised if he offended someone he shouldn't have. This individual was insanely talented and powerful… there's no way someone like that would attack Bai Xutao without reason."
"This is also why I came to the Pavilion of Knowledge—to find this individual who attacked my younger brother." Bai Ning clenched her fists in frustration.
In her head, she couldn't care less about avenging Bai Xutao. The real reason she wanted to find this individual was to fight him again and to learn about his mysterious power.
"What will you do once you find this individual?" Yuan asked out of curiosity.
"Well, I am going to find out the real reason he attacked Bai Xutao, but regardless of the reason, he'd nearly crippled someone from the Heavenly White Tiger Clan, so he will need to pay for his crimes. I will bring him back to my family so they can deal with him." Bai Ning said.
"I see… I hope you find this individual and find justice for Bai Xutao." Yuan said.
"As for meeting with the Immortal Monarch, he's not in the condition to meet anyone right now, anyway. I'll let you meet him in the future."
"What?! Is he okay?! You make it sound like he's injured or something!" Bai Ning's face darkened, acting like a mother about her missing child.
"It's complicated, but you'll find out in the future. Anyway, can you share your information on the Immortal Monarch with me?"
After a moment of silence, Bai Ning nodded her head, and she retrieved a jade slip from her spatial ring before handing it to him.
