Chapter 1116: Chapter 1116

"Hmm? Are you saying that you held a token from the Vermilion Bird Gate and spent significant resources to learn the whereabouts of the Heart Without Tears from Bai Xiaosheng?" Zhang Xiaohao asked seriously.

"Yes! Why? Is there something inappropriate?" Saintess Hua Yan asked in confusion.

"With your cultivation, without the Vermilion Bird Gate token, couldn’t you obtain useful information from Bai Xiaosheng?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"Bai Xiaosheng’s legacy is ancient, passed down for at least a thousand years! His power is immense; forget about my level of cultivation, even a Great Power of the Cycle Palace Realm or a lord of the Luotian Realm has to be respectful before Bai Xiaosheng! Moreover, with just the power of the Vermilion Bird Gate, we originally weren’t qualified to inquire any information from Bai Xiaosheng, but a leader from several generations ago helped someone pivotal within Bai Xiaosheng, and they owed us a favor, thus granting us a token!"

"Even so, with the aid of this token, the information we get is only the most basic! And it requires a substantial cost!" Saintess Hua Yan explained.

"What did you sacrifice?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"The 100-year legacy of my Vermilion Bird Gate!!!" Saintess Hua Yan replied.

"Hold on, let me make a call to someone!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Hmm? Could it be that you know someone in charge at Bai Xiaosheng?" Saintess Hua Yan asked.

Zhang Xiaohao didn’t reply, taking out his custom-made phone, unlocking three codes, and dialing the White-clothed Young Master’s number.

The phone rang for a while before being answered.

"Let me ask you. Recently, was there a woman from the Vermilion Bird Gate named Saintess Hua Yan who purchased information with a 100-year legacy from your place?" Zhang Xiaohao got straight to the point before the White-clothed Young Master could speak.

The White-clothed Young Master on the other end was taken aback, his words getting stuck by Zhang Xiaohao’s straightforward question.

After a good while, the White-clothed Young Master finally spoke.

"Brother Zhang, honestly, I have no idea about this matter! If I had to inquire about every trivial matter, even if I had the strength, I’d be exhausted to death! Besides, recently, an elder of mine went insane; it was only thanks to you, Brother Zhang, that his injury was healed! Just that alone is enough to keep me busy, where would I have the spirit to attend to other matters?" The White-clothed Young Master said with a bitter laugh.

"I have a friend named Saintess Hua Yan, a direct descendant from the Vermilion Bird Gate! Recently, she purchased information about the Heart Without Tears from Bai Xiaosheng at the cost of a 100-year legacy! A small sect like that can’t afford such losses." Zhang Xiaohao replied.

"I see what the issue is! It’s just a small matter, Brother Zhang. Don’t hang up; I’ll have someone look into it right away!" The White-clothed Young Master said.

He instructed an old steward beside him: "Uncle Wang, give me a minute, address the recent issue for me!"

"Yes, Young Master!" the old steward replied respectfully.

He then walked aside and made a phone call...

A minute passed in the blink of an eye.

The old steward returned and respectfully reported.

"Young master, indeed, a short while ago, there was a lady from the Vermilion Bird Gate named Saintess Hua Yan, holding a token from our sect, who bought information related to the Heart Without Tears from us! The person responsible for this matter has been dismissed! As for Lady Hua Yan’s items, someone will deliver them double to the Sect Leader of the Vermilion Bird Gate."

"Alright, you may go!" the White-clothed Young Master waved his hand, signaling.

After he left, the White-clothed Young Master said.

"Brother Zhang, I wonder if you’re satisfied with the solution to this situation?" the White-clothed Young Master inquired.

"Brother Bai, I believe there are things that don’t need clarification, which Bai Xiaosheng should inherently understand! I hope such misunderstandings won’t occur again in the future!" Zhang Xiaohao stated.

"Rest assured, Brother Zhang. Such misunderstandings won’t happen again! Anyone from Zhang Xiaohao’s faction who comes to Bai Xiaosheng, no matter what information they seek, Bai Xiaosheng will fully support them!" the White-clothed Young Master assured.

"Thanks!" Zhang Xiaohao acknowledged the favor.

"Brother Zhang, the last incident was thanks to you!" the White-clothed Young Master expressed.

"Among friends, there’s no need for such formalities." Zhang Xiaohao replied with a smile.

"Brother Zhang, do you know a piece of news I don’t know about?" the White-clothed Young Master asked.

"What news?" Zhang Xiaohao asked puzzledly.

"The Great Brightness Temple has fully mobilized this time, targeting the Tianyin Sect, apparently related to the Dragon Slayer Blade incident, which happened near Nanhua City. If Brother Zhang is interested, I can send you information about their forces!" the White-clothed Young Master offered.

"No need!" Zhang Xiaohao declined.

"Alright, if there’s anything I can help with, don’t hesitate, Brother Zhang. I’ll do my best to assist you!" the White-clothed Young Master offered.

"Mm." Zhang Xiaohao nodded.

After exchanging a few more words, Zhang Xiaohao ended the call.

With a glint in his eyes, he was still considering the Great Brightness Temple affair.

Even the White-clothed Young Master knew about this matter; it seemed it had caused quite a stir! It seemed a tough battle was approaching!

"What are you thinking about?" Saintess Hua Yan walked up from behind, with her alabaster-white hands embracing Zhang Xiaohao from behind.

Zhang Xiaohao had the speaker on, and she heard everything he said.

Unexpectedly, a man a few years younger than herself had this much influence, retrieving her Vermilion Bird Gate’s century-old legacy with just a single phone call.

"Nothing much! By the way, how did they find you?" Zhang Xiaohao shook his head, smiling as he asked.

He was the kind of person who preferred to bear all burdens himself rather than let his woman worry.

This was Zhang Xiaohao, a man who stands firm, a man who for the sake of a loved one, wouldn’t hesitate to face the Nine Heavens of beings and wouldn’t flinch!

"I’m puzzled too; logically, apart from me, no one should know my whereabouts! Yet they seem to have appeared from thin air. Fortunately, I’ve made some progress in my cultivation; otherwise, I might have fallen victim to their scheme!" Saintess Hua Yan said.

"Be more cautious next time! When this matter ends, I’ll visit the Azure Dragon Sect and Xuanwu Sect! Those who dare touch my woman, I’ll erase them from existence!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a cold glare.

"Mm!" Saintess Hua Yan nodded gently, not refusing Zhang Xiaohao’s good intentions.

"Alright! It’s getting late; let’s head to the Black Dragon Saint now!" Zhang Xiaohao proposed.

Immediately, leading Saintess Hua Yan, they set off at a swift speed towards Nanhua City using martial arts prowess.

The night had just begun, with brilliant neon lights glowing brightly.

With their full-speed journey, Zhang Xiaohao and Saintess Hua Yan stopped outside the Hailan Hotel.
