After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

"Where are you?"

Queen Qin's voice was somewhat cold, clearly indicating that she was still angry.

That's normal. No one would be happy if they were taken advantage of for several days.

Unfortunately, Ye Bai was unaware of these things and assumed the other party was still acting strangely, so he didn't pay any attention and replied, "I'm outside."

"My best friend is being transferred to Jingzhou for work, and I want to give her a welcome-home party. But I have something important to do right now and can't get away. Could you and Lulu pick her up and take her home for me? I'll send you the address in a bit..."

"You actually have a best friend?" Ye Bai asked curiously.

He always thought that the aloof and arrogant Qin Wanqing didn't have any friends, let alone a best friend.

"...What do you mean by that? Qin Hui has a few friends, so why can't I have a best friend?"

Qin Wanqing's voice instantly rose eight octaves, clearly angered by Ye Bai again.

There's no way around it; the way Ye Bai asked the question made it seem like she had a terrible character and was therefore all alone.

"I……"

Ye Bai wanted to explain that he didn't mean it that way, but Qin Wanqing didn't give him a chance and hung up the phone directly.

"Tsk tsk, what a temper."

Ye Bai smacked his lips, suddenly becoming somewhat interested in Qin Wanqing's so-called best friend.

Because he had just learned a saying online yesterday: "Beware of fire, theft, and best friends."

He just hadn't had time to figure out what was so special about this best friend that he was wary of, so he was a little curious.

Soon, Qin Wanqing sent him a message with her address and information about her "best friend".

Upon seeing the address, Ye Bai's expression instantly turned strange.

It turns out to be this bar called "November," located at No. 33 Changge Road...

To avoid making a mistake, Ye Bai specifically asked Shen Lu to ask at the bar for the detailed address, and it turned out to be exactly the same.

Qin Wanqing's best friend... turns out to be a bar girl?

Ye Bai's lips twitched, but after thinking about it, he realized it wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

At least, he and Shen Lu don't have to make another trip; they can just wait here.

It wouldn't interfere with their surveillance of the elderly man in the Tang suit with the strange smile.

Having finally met the other person, Ye Bai certainly didn't want to miss the opportunity.

"Mr. Ye, should I get some people to come and arrest this old man first?"

Seeing that Ye Bai hadn't made a move, Yang Renxiao asked in a low voice.

Although the Yang family he belonged to wasn't considered a wealthy family in Jingzhou, they still had assets worth tens of billions, making them a truly rich family.

In addition, Yang Renxiao was not a stable person to begin with, and he always kept a group of people under his command to do some things that were not openly compliant with his authority.

Tying up an old man is a piece of cake.

"Don't worry yet."

Ye Bai shook his head.

If we really have to take action, Shen Lu should be enough.

What's more, he's there too.

He's just tired of rough work like fighting and killing, not that he can't do it.

"Huh? Someone went to that table..."

At this moment, Shen Lu whispered a reminder.

Ye Bai and Yang Renxiao looked over and found that someone had walked over and sat down opposite the old man in the Tang suit.

It was a woman, but because her back was to them, their faces were not clearly visible.

But from the back, her figure is quite graceful.

"Green dress, 1.7 meters tall, short hair... Why does this image seem so familiar?"

Ye Bai glanced at it a few times, then suddenly had an idea. He turned on his phone and found the message Qin Wanqing had sent him earlier.

Sure enough, this description was exactly the same as the one Qin Wanqing had sent him.

The woman who sat down in front of the old man in the Tang suit was Qin Wanqing's best friend named "Tong Yan".

How could they know each other?

A strange feeling welled up in Ye Bai's heart, and he suddenly regretted sitting so far away.

Otherwise, if he were closer, he should have been able to hear their conversation clearly.

Fortunately, he wasn't in a hurry. After waiting for more than ten minutes, he handed the phone to Shen Lu and asked her and Yang Renxiao to go outside and dial the number in the message.

As Ye Bai had guessed, the woman in the green dress quickly took out her phone.

He glanced at it, said something to the old man in the Tang suit, and then got up and left.

Ye Bai finally saw what the other person looked like.

They were wearing large sunglasses and a mask, making it impossible to see their true faces.

This look is somewhat similar to that of big stars who are always photographed by paparazzi sneaking out.

Queen Qin's best friend... could she also be a celebrity?

Ye Bai had a guess, and upon reflection, it wasn't impossible.

In the eyes of many ordinary people, celebrities are unapproachable figures with an aura of glamour.

But for the scions of wealthy families, it means nothing at all.

The power of a wealthy backer always outshines any other accolade.

After the other person walked past him, Ye Bai stood up and walked straight to the old man in the Tang suit.

He didn't bother with any of the hypocritical pleasantries. Under the other person's questioning gaze, he sat down directly and said indifferently, "You've had this 'smirk disorder' for about a year now, haven't you? If you don't get treatment in time, it will get worse and worse."

"You know about my illness? Are you a doctor?"

The old man in the Tang suit suddenly narrowed his eyes, and his facial muscles twitched uncontrollably at that moment.

His appearance, which was originally dignified and otherworldly when he wasn't smiling, is slowly becoming ferocious and terrifying.

"Don't be nervous. I'm not one of those old-fashioned Taoist priests who would kill demons and monsters just because I see someone with your symptoms."

Ye Bai smiled slightly and began to comfort him.

"You're also a member of the Xuanmen sect?"

Unexpectedly, his words did not relax the old man in the Tang suit; instead, they made him even more nervous.

A fierce glint even began to flash in his eyes. If it weren't for the fact that the bar was a public place and there were surveillance cameras, he probably would have already taken action.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Ye Bai. Ye as in leaf, Bai as in daytime."

Ye Bai nodded, making no attempt to conceal his identity.

Since we are all members of the Taoist community, we should naturally prioritize harmony.

Of course, those who are ungrateful and don't appreciate kindness are excluded.

"Ye Bai? That name sounds familiar..."

The old man in the Tang suit was taken aback, and slowly frowned.

"what……"

"Dangdang!"

A few seconds later, the old man in the Tang suit exclaimed in surprise and instinctively tried to get up, but bumped into the table.

The drinks were spilled everywhere, juices were running, and the place was a complete mess.

"You...you are..."

The old man in the Tang suit had no time to care about anything else; his eyes were filled with terror as he looked at Ye Bai, and he even started to stutter.

"Yes, you guessed right. Ye Bai of the Xuanmen Sect, there is no other like him."

Ye Bai grinned, revealing a set of large white teeth, which looked somewhat sinister and terrifying in the dim light of the bar.

Pfft!

The old man in the Tang suit slumped into the chair, his expression shifting between a benevolent, celestial look and a terrifying, malevolent one. His body convulsed uncontrollably, and white foam dripped from his mouth, as if he were having an epileptic seizure.

"...Am I that scary?"

Ye Bai was speechless for a moment, and could only raise his hand and point his finger at the old man in the Tang suit several times.

Ye Bai's actions seemed simple, but they were extremely effective; the old man in the Tang suit quickly returned to normal...
