Lin Xiaotian's face showed a hint of a smile, "Are you so sure that whoever killed Bai Wuji will become your friend?"
"Of course, an enemy's enemy is a friend. Even if that person is strong, they can't be Bai Shaoxuan's opponent. After all, he's a legendary expert at the Land Immortal realm. However, if someone dares to lay hands on Bai Wuji, they must have some backing."
"As long as we unite, we can definitely make Bai Shaoxuan hesitate," Du Jinpeng said with certainty.
The smile on Lin Xiaotian's face grew more pronounced, "Then you don't need to investigate. The one who killed Bai Wuji is me."
Du Jinpeng was stunned, his gaze towards Lin Xiaotian filled with suspicion. However, he quickly concealed it, and his smile became more pronounced.
"This is fate. I never expected we would have a common enemy."
As he spoke, a subtle change occurred in his expression. Initially, he was worried that Lin Xiaotian and Bai Shaoxuan would gang up on him. After all, there had already been conflict between him and Lin Xiaotian. If Lin Xiaotian was now offering to help him, he had to suspect some hidden agenda.
But now, hearing Lin Xiaotian claim to be the one who killed Bai Wuji, while still harboring some doubt, he decided to disseminate this information.
Once Bai Shaoxuan learned of this, he would undoubtedly seek out Lin Xiaotian immediately, making any alliance between them impossible.
Moreover, he had also understood the implication in Lin Xiaotian's words: he absolutely would not be friends with him.
This was merely a transaction, and transactional relationships were the most unstable.
"Mr. Lin, I must thank you for your help this time. If Bai Shaoxuan agrees to coexist peacefully with us, or even better, if he can be crippled, then we will never give the Bai family another chance. And you and Bai Shaoxuan will surely develop a significant conflict, as Bai Wuji was his relative."
How could Lin Xiaotian not see what he was thinking? He smiled and said, "Perhaps you don't understand some things yet, but I can tell you directly."
"Bai Wuji's death will not be traced back to me. Even if he tries to investigate, he will likely be stopped. You should also consider this: if you spread this news, it might bring you a lot of trouble."
"However, I will not stop you. Because once Bai Shaoxuan sees me, he will lose any desire for revenge. Even if his relative is dead, he won't jump into a fire pit himself."
"But if you do certain things, it will be equivalent to creating enmity between us."
"This is a warning from me. If you still intend to proceed, I will not stop you."
With that, Lin Xiaotian walked out directly.
Du Jinpeng hadn't expected Lin Xiaotian to be so straightforward. He gritted his teeth and decided to proceed with his plan.
After all, this was to provoke a conflict between Bai Shaoxuan and Lin Xiaotian. If Lin Xiaotian's strength was insufficient, he would surely die at Bai Shaoxuan's hands. Since Lin Xiaotian could get the Special Operations Department to help him obstruct the investigation, he must have a significant connection with them.
He could then directly sow discord. No matter how strong Bai Shaoxuan was, he wouldn't dare to confront the Special Operations Department directly, as that was the true place where dragons and tigers hid.
A smile gradually appeared on his face as he watched Lin Xiaotian's disappearing back. He sneered mockingly, "Lin Xiaotian, I might know where your confidence comes from!"
"You want the treasure in our hands and plan to use the Special Operations Department as a shield, intending to leverage their influence to threaten Bai Shaoxuan. But you don't realize that Bai Shaoxuan has a bit of a problem with his brain; he will never accept your threat."
"Once you two are locked in a deadly battle, you will have fallen into the trap. Then, the Special Operations Department will surely seek revenge for you, essentially using a borrowed knife to kill."
He pondered this plan, and the smile on his face grew more pronounced.
At this moment, Lin Xiaotian had arrived at Bai Shaoxuan's doorstep. Looking at the duplex villa, a slight smile curved his lips.
He walked up and knocked on the door. A servant opened it.
Seeing the unfamiliar face, the servant looked confused, "May I ask who you are looking for?"
"I'm looking for Bai Shaoxuan. Tell him I have news about Bai Wuji," Lin Xiaotian said with a faint smile.
"Please wait a moment!" The servant immediately scurried inside.
After a few minutes, the servant came out, looking at Lin Xiaotian with a strange expression. However, he still said, "Please come in. Our master is waiting for you in the hall."
Lin Xiaotian thanked him and slowly walked into the hall with his hands behind his back.
Sitting in the main seat was an elder around sixty or seventy years old. His beard and hair were pure white, and his eyes gleamed with divine light. His skin showed no signs of age, and his gaze was as sharp as a knife.
His eyes scanned Lin Xiaotian, with clear suspicion in his gaze.
"You know about Bai Wuji's whereabouts?"
His calm voice carried a hint of dominance, and his gaze was even more piercing as he stared at Lin Xiaotian. His aura was fully unleashed at this moment.
He intended to use his imposing presence to pressure Lin Xiaotian into submission.
Lin Xiaotian smiled cryptically, "Your aura cannot suppress me. Let's get straight to the point. Not only do I know about Bai Wuji's situation, but I also know who killed him."
Upon hearing this, Bai Shaoxuan's eyes narrowed slightly. His gaze was filled with surprise and uncertainty. The young man before him appeared to be in his twenties, yet he could withstand his oppressive aura.
This was at least an expert of the same level as him, yet he had never heard of any young person in their twenties who could cultivate to his level. Was he a legendary ancient monster who had regained his youth?
He thought this to himself, but his expression remained unchanged. He said directly, "I need your information. Tell me what you know, and I will offer you a generous reward."
Lin Xiaotian smiled and shook his head, "Forget about the generous reward. I only need you to agree to one thing."
Bai Shaoxuan's brow furrowed slightly, and his voice turned cold, "If you expect me to help you based on just a piece of information, you will be disappointed."
"You should know that Bai Wuji was merely an agent of our family, representing our family's honor. Although something happened to him, we can slowly investigate this matter. Even if someone obstructs us, I will continue to investigate to the end."
"And this information is not enough for me to agree to any of your conditions. At most, I can offer you some compensation. If you don't want to talk, you can leave now."
