Seeing Shi Hongda make no effort to conceal his curiosity about the Bai family's secrets, Bai Lejing looked conflicted. "This..."
"Mister Bai's request is not difficult for me to fulfill, of course. However, I hope we can be more frank with each other, as it would be better for everyone," Shi Hongda said with a beaming smile.
In his view, escorting someone with the backing of the Bai Family and the Northern Dragon Guard to Tianhai was incredibly simple. If he hadn't sensed something fishy, agreeing right away wouldn't have been a problem. Now, if he could wring out some unknown information in the process, he would certainly be more than happy.
Even if this information is likely pointless, why not take it if it's free? Shi Hongda thought.
"Ah, in that case, Elder Shi, please come with me. I will explain the details to you in private," Bai Lejing said, standing up as if he had made a difficult decision.
"Of course, that's not a problem," Shi Hongda replied with a slight smile.
