One side was high while the other was low. If one did not observe carefully, one would not be able to tell.

In such a situation, there was usually something underneath, or else it would not be tilted.

“There’s a problem.” Xu Bai rubbed his chin and thought to himself.

With the Zhou Manor’s family background, how could they use such broken cutlery to entertain people? Moreover, Xu Bai’s status was not ordinary, so there was no way he would be in such a shabby place.

Xu Bai looked around, took a step back, and pulled out the black blade Hundred Break from his waist.

The tip of the Imife gently brushed across the wooden tray, splitting it into two. Then, the thing under the tray appeared.

It was a letter, a very simple letter.

There was no signature on the letter, so it was unknown who had gotten it.

Xu Bai pondered for a moment and opened the letter in front of him.

The contents of the letter were written on the paper. Xu Bai read it carefully and frowned.

[Lord Xu.]

[Sir, this journey to the capital will definitely be filled with difficulties. I have already seen what you did in the Purple Wood Manor. I admire you, but I am worried that I will disrupt your plans.]

[I was the one who killed the Twelve Swords Formation. Lord Xu, don’t doubt me. I didn’t want to assassinate you. I just can’t stand seeing these people burn, kill, and plunder on a daily basis. Let them have a proper punishment.]

[That night, I thought Lord Xu would let them live and make up for their sins, so I attacked. After all, people like them deserved to die.]

[Other than that, I have no other purpose. Lord Xu can continue to go to the capital. As for my identity, it is inconvenient to disclose it.]

At this point, the content of the letter was gone, but it was already very clear.

First of all, the person who sent the letter had already made it clear that he was not going against Xu Bai.

Secondly, the reason why he killed the Twelve Swords Formation was because he was worried that Xu Bai would give them a chance to live and let them atone for their sins. That was why he attacked directly.

In the end, he also made it clear that he did not want Xu Bai to investigate his identity.

“Interesting. You’ve piqued my interest. “Xu Bai placed the letter in front of him properly. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing an interested smile.

Although he did not know the other party’s identity, it had already piqued his interest.

“Since you’re in such a hurry to let me go to the capital, I’ll stay for another two days before leaving.”Xu Bai thought as he withdrew his black saber, Hundred

Rend.

When the servant girl saw the tray split into two, although she was a little surprised, she tried her best to hide it. She lowered her head and cleaned up the things before leaving the room.

Xu Bai did not find trouble with the servant girl. Since the other party dared to use this method to send a message, he must have prepared a backup plan. After all, he could not even find any traces. If something really went wrong here, then the other party would be too stupid.

“It’s not that I don’t want to leave, but I have to finish this thing. So, Your Majesty, it’s not because I’m lazy. After all, my strength is also beneficial to your plan.”Xu Bai thought as he looked at the chessboard in his hand.

On one side, Xu Bai was checking the progress bar. On the other side, in the palace, Eunuch Wei, the head of the eunuchs, raised his hand and knocked on the door politely.

This was the Emperor’s study. He would come here every day to review all kinds of memorials.

At this moment, the door was tightly shut. Through the window, one could see that the Chu Emperor was sitting in the room and writing.

As if he had heard a knock on the door, the Chu Emperor finished writing the last word before raising his head.

“Enter.”

It was a faint voice, but it was filled with nobility.

Eunuch Wei waited until the Chu Emperor’s voice came from the room before gently pushing open the door. He respectfully walked in and placed the letter in front of the Chu Emperor.

“Your Majesty, this is the latest news. The crisis in the Purple Wood Prefecture has been resolved.”

Eunuch Wei lowered his hands and stood respectfully at the side.

“Coiling Sword Mountain, Chessboard Mountain.” The Chu Emperor picked up the letter and read its contents, revealing a cold smile.

“This servant will go now and destroy those two forces.”Eunuch Wei’s tone was gentle and ambiguous, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

“No need.” The Chu Emperor shook his head and said,” If I were to destroy them now, wouldn’t it expose that I’ve been observing Xu Bai all this while? Wait a moment. When the time is right, I’ll be able to receive this news as usual. But before that, I’ll have to monitor them closely and not let them make any movements.”

“Yes, sir!” Eunuch Wei bowed.

The killing intent that he had at the beginning had completely vanished, because of the Chu Emperor’s words.

“Go ahead.” The Chu Emperor waved his hand, gesturing for Eunuch Wei to leave.

“This servant will take his leave.” Eunuch Wei didn’t stay any longer. After saying that, he turned around and left.

After Eunuch Wei left, the Chu Emperor placed the letter in his hand into the drawer, leaned back on the chair, and closed his eyes.

“The real Big Head hasn’t appeared yet. Perhaps they’ll wait until the last moment before making their move.”

Xu Bai didn’t know what had happened in the palace, but as time passed, it had been a long time since he had seen the letter.

During this period of time, Xu Bai did not stop. He kept looking at the progress bar every day.

Other than the progress bar on the liver chessboard, there was only normal eating and drinking.

He finally had a new harvest after being so happy..
