Chapter 2723: Chapter 2698: Innate Defect!

Tang Yuezhi’s expression was resolute, showing a determination not to let Lin Bai leave.

Lin Bai asked, "May I ask, Miss, why is this?"

Tang Yuezhi replied, "You can’t leave!"

Lin Bai smiled wryly, "What if I insist on leaving?"

Tang Yuezhi’s face took on a slightly cold expression.

Lin Bai spoke calmly, "I’m resigning from the Guest Quarters, merely to inform the Tang Family, because I feel it would be quite impolite to leave without notice!"

"But if the Tang Family insists on obstructing me, then don’t blame Lin Mou for lacking etiquette."

Lin Bai had made his point very clear.

Even if the Tang Family was unwilling to let Lin Bai go, he would still leave!

Resigning from the Guest Quarters was just because Lin Bai thought leaving without notice was quite rude!

"You!" Tang Yuezhi was full of anger, saying, "Must you leave?"

Lin Bai nodded, "Leave I must!"

Tang Yuezhi asked, "When will you leave?"

Lin Bai answered, "The sooner the better!"

Tang Yuezhi gritted her silver teeth, "Fine, you wait patiently for a few days. After I discuss with the Guest Quarters, we will naturally let you leave! If you insist on leaving, our Tang Family won’t force you to stay!"

Lin Bai smiled, "Thank you, Miss!"

After saying this, Tang Yuezhi turned and left Lin Bai’s courtyard!

Tang Long followed along.

Having been disturbed by Tang Yuezhi, Lin Bai lost interest in continuing his cultivation.

He looked in on Ban Ye and Fatty, finding that neither were at home.

"Forget it, let’s go out for a stroll!"

Lin Bai shook his head and walked out of the Tang Family, strolling through the bustling streets of Black Water City.

"Have you heard?"

"The Dragon City Battle is about to begin!"

"Really? Looks like the old City Lord has truly reached his end!"

"Yes, the Dragon City Battle is to decide which family will next rule over Black Water City!"

"..."

Walking on the streets of Black Water City, Lin Bai heard numerous Warriors passing by, frequently mentioning the term "Dragon City Battle" among their words!

But Lin Bai paid no further attention, as Black Water City was merely a place he passed through, and now that he had resolved to leave, he didn’t want to involve himself in the city’s affairs.

In Black Water City, Lin Bai wandered leisurely, taking in the scenery!

At this moment.

Lin Bai found himself outside a high-walled estate, in an area with few Warriors.

In other words, many Warriors chose to walk around this estate!

Lin Bai looked up and saw the plaque on the estate’s entrance bearing the words "Qian Family."

"So this is the residence of the Qian Family, one of the Eight Great Clans of Black Water City?" Lin Bai glanced, didn’t linger, and continued walking forward.

And just as Lin Bai was about to leave the vicinity of the Qian Family.

Suddenly, from a dark corridor ahead, a sound caught Lin Bai’s attention!

"Hurry up, move it, quicker, you good-for-nothing!"

"Humph, you big fool, you’re only fit to shovel dung!"

"Faster!"

"..."

From the dark passageway came the stern urging of a young man’s voice.

Lin Bai frowned as he looked over.

That dark corridor echoed with the sound of wheels grinding the ground, accompanied by a foul stench, resembling some Demon Beast’s excrement...

Just then, a giant figure emerged from the shadows, dragging a cart.

The figure stood about three meters tall, strong muscles covering its body, hair disheveled.

Underneath his messy hair, one could vaguely see an extremely ugly face!

"It’s him!"

"Beast!"

At first glance, Lin Bai recognized the burly man.

This was the Beast with whom Lin Bai had once fought in the Fighting Arena!

Lin Bai remembered Beast as the undefeated general of wealth in the Fighting Arena.

But Lin Bai never knew that within the Qian Family, his status was so low, reduced to hauling dung...

Lin Bai stood beside the alley, watching Beast pull the cart past him, followed by four or five gleeful young martial artists, swinging whips to lash at Beast’s back.

As if driving a carriage, they completely ignored Beast as a person!

"Faster, faster, at this pace, when will you get out of the city!" The four young martial artists urged, swinging their whips on Beast’s back.

Even though Beast’s physique was strong, he couldn’t endure such repeated beating; his back was now covered in bloody scars, flesh mangled!

Lin Bai whispered, "Killing is simply swift. If you want to kill him, you can certainly do so directly, why torment him!"

As Beast pulled the cart past Lin Bai, Lin Bai couldn’t help voicing his disapproval.

The four young martial artists, grinning, said, "We just like to torment him. So, what’s it to you, where did this kid come from, don’t block the way!"

Lin Bai smiled, "Gentlemen, do you know what offense he committed? I remember he was the undefeated general in the Fighting Arena, right? Such treatment is undeserved for an undefeated general!"

The four young martial artists replied, "Haha, it’s his fault for not being competitive, why did he lose to the Sword Demon? The elders of the Qian Family were furious, so we’re tasked with supervising him to haul dung."

"Just right, there’s a lot of Spirit Beasts’ dung in the Qian Family that’s hard to manage; his natural brute strength is just right for the job!"

Lin Bai spoke blandly, "Victory and defeat are common in battles. A mere loss shouldn’t lead to such punishment, right?"

The four young martial artists laughed, "For other undefeated generals, a loss wouldn’t be a big deal. But Beast is different; his wisdom is originally low!"

"Tell him to do something, and he does it!"

"Now, telling him to haul dung, isn’t he doing it obediently!"

"He’s called Beast, a real beast, and beasts are supposed to haul dung!"

"Blame his own stupidity, his own foolishness. Having strength but being an idiot, ha-ha-ha!"

"Our cultivation isn’t high, yet to bully the undefeated general in the Fighting Arena, it’s quite a pleasure in life!"

"Faster, Beast, faster! By dusk, if you haven’t left the city, you’ll have to eat this dung yourself!"

These four young martial artists urged Beast to move forward.

Beast pulled the cart and gradually moved away from Lin Bai.

He seemed not to recognize Lin Bai.

Lin Bai watching Beast’s back, shook his head slightly.

The impact Beast left on Lin Bai was profound.

"Is someone with an inherent flaw destined to be bullied?"

"Qian Family, you are the Qian Family of Black Water City, one of the Eight Great Clans, with power, prestige, and immense wealth!"

"Beast gained many merits and much glory for the Qian Family in the Fighting Arena!"

"Just because his wisdom is innately low, should he be bullied by you?"

Standing beneath the high-walled estate of the Qian Family, Lin Bai looked up at the Qian Family’s plaque for a long time.

Beast had already pulled the cart far away.

At this moment, Lin Bai suddenly turned his head, looking in the direction Beast had left, and stepped forward...

Killing intent began to surge through his body...
