All Heavens: Start with Monster Hunter

Chapter 150 Master Bai
The short man stared at Sarah with wide eyes. His legs had been suspended in the air for a long time, but he did not move his eyes away.

Li Qing turned to Sarah and asked her if she knew what was going on.

Sarah shrugged innocently, indicating that she didn't know what was going on.

Li Qing turned around and asked this guy:
"So, what's wrong with you guy?"

"If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I think it will be difficult for you to return home safely today."

The short man then looked at Li Qing. After being stunned for two seconds, he suddenly took out a small box from his arms, opened it, took out the glasses inside and put them on.

Looking at Sarah again, his expression suddenly became uglier than crying:

"Well, if I say I recognized the wrong person, you guys won't be angry, right?"

Li Qing burst out laughing and lifted him up again with both hands: "You made such a big scene, you think you got the wrong person?"

"You don't take me for a fool, do you?"

“No, no, no!!”

The short man suddenly became panicked.

"I can prove that this is absolutely just a misunderstanding."

"I'm just a little shortsighted. I didn't see the lady's appearance clearly just now. I only saw the color of her hair, so I misunderstood."

"I am Master Baiyi's housekeeper. Everyone in Tieshui City knows Master Baiyi's reputation. I will never do anything to damage his reputation!"

"Master Baiyi?" Li Qing was stunned, and then he began to feel strong doubts in his heart.

To be honest, you can tell from the name that it is not a good thing.

Sarah's expression changed slightly. She came close to Li Qing and whispered in his ear:

"I know Baiyi. He is a businessman from Tieshui City. He has business in the ports and markets of Tieshui City. He has a good reputation and is trustworthy. If he is really Baiyi's steward, he should not lie."

"And he has a good relationship with the mayor of Tieshui City. It is said that once when goods were lost, the city guards were dispatched to help find them."

"He is a very prestigious person in Ironwater City."

Li Qing raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that this man named Baiyi sounded like a big shot.

But at the same time, Li Qing is not someone to be trifled with.

Although he is not a bad person who would kill an entire family if misunderstood, but he made such a big fuss and then just said it was a misunderstanding. Isn't that too disrespectful of Li Qing?
And this short man was not a brainless guy. When he saw that Li Qing still refused to let go after knowing the master Bai behind him, he knew that this matter would not be easily resolved.

He didn't find it strange.

Tieshui City is a prosperous commercial city, and most of the people coming here come from other places.

Master Bai is very famous locally, but apart from Tieshuicheng, how many people care about him?
So the short man did not hesitate and spoke directly:
"Dear sir and beautiful lady, I am truly very sorry."

"I usually wear myopia glasses, but I forgot this time, so I saw it wrong.

"Since this is my mistake, I will definitely compensate you two."

"Besides, you are so powerful, and there is no loss. Instead, my men are lying on the ground. How about we reconcile?"

Li Qing looked at him with a little surprise. Although this short man was not tall, he seemed to be able to speak in an orderly manner.

Moreover, Li Qing could feel that what he said was sincere, at least there was no sense of resentment hidden in it.

He looked at Li Qing with a frank look.

If this man who claimed to be the butler of the Baiyi could handle things so thoughtfully, then Li Qing would believe that the Baiyi master was probably a person of good ability.

If that was the case, then Li Qing would not bother to get angry anymore.

Going to one place and fighting there, regardless of whether it feels good to be respected or not, Li Qing will also feel tired.

The short man let go of his hands and dropped his legs to the ground. Li Qing asked him:
"What's your name?"

"How are you going to compensate us two?"

The short man felt his feet were on solid ground, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly replied:
"Sir, my name is Inbas."

"He is the steward who is in charge of the business of the Bailaoye market and the port."

"As for the matter of compensation, are you two here to do business, or are you just passing through?"

Sarah had a smile on her face:

"We're here to make a delivery and pick up some stuff."

Inbas nodded: "Is that so?"

"Can you two tell me the location and shape of your ships?"

"The mooring fees for ships are waived. Your ships can stay at the port as long as you want until they leave."

"You two are welcome to choose whatever goods are in the market. As long as the price does not exceed my authority, you can take whatever you want."

After finishing speaking, Inbas bowed politely and said, "You two, this is the greatest compensation I can make within my authority. After all, I am just a butler."

"But Master Baiyi really likes to make friends with powerful people. If you two can go with me to meet him, Master Baiyi will definitely not be stingy with gifts for meeting new friends."

"Oh?"

Li Qing raised his eyebrows in surprise, and the anger in his heart, which was not much to begin with, had long since dissipated.

For him, who was in a stable enough emotional state, this little thing was not worth a big deal. Since Inbas seemed very sincere, the matter was over.

"Well, you have passed the test with me."

Li Qing took a step back indifferently and pointed at Sarah beside him: "As for whether she is satisfied or not, just ask her."

Inbas looked at Sarah.

Sarah waved her hand indifferently: "I'm fine too. Nothing happened to me."

Sarah then asked Inbas:

"However, I am very interested in your master Bai."

"Didn't you say you could take us to see him once? How is it now?"

Inbas was stunned, but quickly reacted: "Of course, Master Bai should be at home. I will send someone to inform him first, and then take you there immediately. Please wait a moment."

After saying that, the short guy quickly walked to the guards who were still rolling on the ground and pulled them up one by one.

Li Qing was not one of those people who liked to kill innocent people. Although these people were aggressive before, they were not carrying weapons and their purpose was just to capture people, so Li Qing naturally did not strike too hard and simply taught them a lesson.

But the smart people could see as soon as they started to fight that Li Qing was not someone they could deal with, so many people lay on the ground and refused to get up even if their injuries were not serious, for fear of being beaten again.

Inbas knew this group of bullies very well, so he quickly sent a few people to inform the Bayi master. Li Qing took this opportunity to walk to Sarah and asked casually:

"Are you interested in this Master Bai? Why do you want to meet him?"

Sarah rolled her eyes at Li Qing: "I don't have your ability, so of course I can only try every possible way to arm myself."

Then her face became more serious and she explained:
"Iron Water City is a very important transit point. Not to mention how it can help us now, if we really start doing business with the Philos family in the future, Iron Water City will also be a place we must pass through."

"It can also contact Noxus and other places on the continent."

"So if you can build good relationships with local bosses in advance, or even bring them into the business, it will definitely be a sure win and save you a lot of trouble."

Sarah looked somewhat smug, and her spirit and energy already carried enough confidence and the demeanor of a queen:

"After all, I'm not like Gangplank, who has a head full of pirate ideas. I have the vision of a normal person."

"To become the emperor of Bilgewater, you don't necessarily have to use force. With enough benefits, you can also firmly control everyone."

"Oh, Queen of Bilgewater, you are so amazing."

Li Qing clapped his hands and praised expressionlessly.

Sarah heard that Li Qing was calm, turned around and looked at Li Qing, suddenly changed her original domineering look, threw a seductive look and approached Li Qing: "So, do you want to become the empress's servant?"

"Or a lover is fine~~"

“Haha!” Li Qing glanced at Sarah and stretched out his hand to push her face away: “Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and follow.”

Sarah rolled her eyes, stood up again wordlessly, and then walked towards Inbas who was already leading the way in front.

Li Qing also followed slowly behind.

However, as he was walking, Li Qing suddenly remembered something he hadn't asked yet, and said to Inbas in front of him:

"That's right, Inbas."

"You said you lost something, so you mistook us for thieves. So what did you lose?"

Inbas slowed down his pace, turned sideways and explained with a bitter face, "It's not really anything important. It's just a list of transactions from last year's market, and it's a backup."

"Because it was from last year, all transactions have been completed, so it doesn't matter even if it is leaked."

"And it's a backup. The original file is still in the mansion. If I want to use it, I can just copy it."

"The reason I was angry was because the thief actually dared to attack me even after I stepped in to stop him, and he almost hurt me."

"That's why they rushed here quickly after receiving the message from the red-haired woman."

Inbas looked at Sarah again: "Ma'am, please believe me, I definitely didn't mean it."

Sarah nodded indifferently. She didn't care about these things.

Regardless of whether there was any misunderstanding or not, as long as they didn’t suffer any loss, it’s good enough.

The berthing fee at the port is not a small amount. It is bearable for one or two days, but it will become an astronomical figure over a long period of time.

Not to mention that she could also get some goods for free.

Although they are just little gadgets, it is much more comfortable to get them for free than to buy them with money.

The residence of this so-called Master Bai is indeed not far from the market.

Li Qing and the other person followed Inbas and walked along the road for about ten minutes before arriving at a slightly open place.

The reason why the word "slightly" is used is mainly because on this street, only the area around Master Bai's house seems relatively empty.

Looking around the house, you can still see the crowded markets and stalls.

Being able to occupy such a large plot of land as a residence in such a densely populated market area truly shows the strength and status of this Lord Bai in Tieshui City.

When he reached the door, Inbas greeted the guards.

Then he took Li Qing and the other person into the mansion.

After sitting down in the reception room, Inbas asked the maid to come over and fill the tea for him, then he respectfully took his leave.

Only Li Qingsara and the maid who was waiting quietly on the side were left in the reception room.

Sarah sat quietly, looking straight ahead like a lady.

Li Qing, on the other hand, looked at the interior decoration of the house with great interest.

Finally, his eyes fell on the oil painting of blooming roses hanging on the wall.

Li Qing had a smile on his face.

For a Noxian, it was not surprising to have paintings in the house, and it was not surprising to have roses in the paintings.

But when the rose in the oil painting was black, the originally ordinary painting immediately added a lot of inexplicable meanings.

Black Rose - For Noxus, this is more than just a simple rose.

As for other decorations, although they are novel to Li Qing, they are just novelties.

He has seen skyscrapers of the future world, lived in a medieval palace, and even became a duke.

Li Qing was not scared by a rich man's mansion.

Sarah, on the other hand, looked calm, but it was her first time in such a place.

It's not that she hasn't seen the world. A woman can make a name for herself in Bilgewater, a city full of villains. No pirate dares to call Sarah a vase in front of her.

The nickname of Miss Fortune was earned by sinking many ships and losing countless lives.

It's just that the industry she's in really keeps her away from such places.

Of course I have never been here.

But I didn't feel too panicked. After all, no matter how luxurious this place was, it was not as shocking as the sea full of floating corpses.

Sarah sat quietly for a while, her eyes blank, not knowing what she was thinking.

Li Qing was looking around to see if there was anything else related to the black rose.

Inbas, who had disappeared for half a day, suddenly opened the door and respectfully welcomed someone into the reception room.

He has a bald head and is half a head taller than Li Qing.

He was dressed like a nomad, revealing his well-built arms, and had a decorative scimitar slung around his waist.

To be honest, he looks more like a bandit leader than a wealthy man with a good reputation in the Iron Water City.
