Hearing Qiu Tu's words, she didn't care about her image at all, smiled slightly, and two dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth, "Yes, brother, I'll contact him right away~"

After saying that, she took out the communicator she used to contact Lao Bai and activated it in front of Qiu Tu and Qing'e.

Jasmine is, after all, the queen of the "Chaos Path," so she definitely has the highest communication privileges with Old White.

So, the communication was established in less than two seconds. Old Bai's voice slowly came from the "communication artifact," "Qiu Tu?"

Upon hearing Lao Bai's words, Qiu Tu couldn't help but chuckle.

Sure enough, even after all these years, Lao Bai still knows himself best.

So he didn't keep him in suspense and said directly, "It's me, Lao Bai."

"We've infiltrated 'Chaotic Western Capital'."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Lao Bai remained silent for a second, as if using his "World Lord" authority to search for Qiu Tu and the others.

After a moment, he said, "Relax. I'll move you over here."

As he spoke, the next second, Qiu Tu felt a terrifying force descend upon him.

Qiu Tu did not resist, but let the force engulf him.

A moment later, his vision went black and then bright again.

When he could see everything clearly, he found himself in the palace where he had played chess and chatted with Lao Bai several times before.

But Qing'e and Jasmine... have disappeared without a trace.

It's unclear whether the person in white didn't move them, or if they did move them but placed them in another location.

'Old Bai...does he want to talk to me alone?'

After silently guessing for a moment, Qiu Tu followed the route he had taken when he came to find Lao Bai the previous times and walked straight ahead.

Soon, Qiu Tu arrived once again at the main hall of the palace where he had played chess with Lao Bai.

At this moment, Lao Bai, dressed in white, sat in front of the chessboard, seemingly waiting for Qiu Tu to make a move.

Given Qiu Tu's familiarity with Lao Bai, there was no need to hide anything. So Qiu Tu walked over, plopped down, picked up a black piece, and started playing with it while observing the situation on the board.

At that moment, Qiu Tu heard Lao Bai's gentle voice, "You should have already guessed Jasmine's identity."

Jasmine's acting skills are hard to fool, so Lao Bai could guess that Qiu Tu didn't care at all.

His eyes were still fixed on the unfinished game on the chessboard, and then he said, "This shouldn't even need guessing, right?"

Old Bai nodded slightly, then said, "You should have met the high-ranking God-King of the 'Temple of Order' as well."

"Who did you meet? The Ink God King?"

This was indeed somewhat unexpected for Qiu Tu.

After all, only Elena, Qing'e, Chongshi, and Hanhai knew that Qiu Tu had met with the Ink God King.

If the person in white wasn't Chunmeng, then at least one of these four people had leaked the information to him.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu casually said, "It is indeed black. But... how did you know?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, the man in white smiled slightly and said, "Just trying to trick me."

Qiu Tu: .....

Qiu Tu believed his lies. Ever since he met this guy in the New Territories, Qiu Tu knew he liked to keep secrets.

He hides his secrets, keeping them hidden away. He's impossible to fathom, impossible to fathom.

Just then, as Qiu Tu was thinking this, the man in white spoke again.

He said, "I'm going to die."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu paused in his actions, then looked up at the man in white with a helpless expression.

How many times has this happened?

"Was this a real death or a fake one?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the man in white smiled gently and said, "Fake death, fake death."

If Baiyi said he was really dead, Qiu Tu might not care and would think he was joking again.

But the white-robed man claimed it was a fake death, which made Qiu Tu a little uneasy.

Is something really going to happen to this guy?

Just then, as Qiu Tu was thinking this, the man in white reached into his left sleeve with his right hand and took out a small golden box.

He looked at Qiu Tu, stretched out his hand, and handed it to Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu cautiously reached out and took the golden box, then looked at the man in white and asked, "What does this mean?"

The man in white smiled freely, pointed to the small box, and said, "This is a gift for you."

"However... I've set a restriction; this little box will only be opened after I die."

"Only then can you see what's inside and receive the gift I'm giving you."

Upon hearing Bai Yi's words, Qiu Tu frowned slightly.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Baiyi, or that he was judging a gentleman by his own petty standards.

He only had a vague sense of worry in his heart.

So he said, "You didn't leave this as a backup plan, did you?"

"If something happens to you, you can use the contents of this little box to steal my body, resurrect me, and change my fate."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Bai Yi couldn't help but smile.

He said, "You probably watched too many TV dramas when you were in the New Territories."

"Even in my prime, I might not be your match. Once I die, my soul will surely be weakened, how could I possibly be your match?"

He paused for a moment, then explained gently, "This box contains the greatest secret."

"And you'll definitely be interested."

Chapter 838 Giving You a World (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"The biggest secret?"

Upon hearing Bai Yi's words, Qiu Tu was momentarily stunned.

He gave the man in white a strange look, then asked curiously, "Is that a nude photo of Jasmine inside?"

Even with Bai Yi's composure and shrewdness, he almost couldn't maintain his composure.

He gave Qiu Tu a deep look, then warned, "You, be careful what you say."

Hearing what Bai Yi said, Qiu Tu just smiled and didn't care at all.

He pretended to be stupid, saying, "What trouble comes from what you say?"

"Jasmine is just your maid. Are you really going to turn against me for the sake of a maid?"

"Besides... you only moved me to your space, wasn't that so you could talk to me alone?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Lao Bai noncommittally picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and then said, "Who said this is my space?"

Qiu Tu:? ?

Qiu Tu recalled the scenes of his several meetings with Lao Bai in this palace.

If he remembered correctly, whenever they met in this palace, it seemed like... Jasmine was always there.

However, when he and Old White met alone, it was always in a room high up in the tower.

Qiu Tu: .....

Is it too late to take back that joke?

Old Bai seems to possess a magical power. No matter what happens, no matter the identity or strength of the people he faces, he can still maintain control of the situation without causing any negative emotions in others.

Seeing Qiu Tu's embarrassed expression, he chuckled, put down his teacup, and said, "Of course, I never said that this palace belongs to the person you have in mind."

After saying that, he glanced around the vast white hall before him, his gaze lingering for a second on the golden box in Qiu Tu's hand, before finally looking at Qiu Tu and saying, "Alright, I've said everything I wanted to say."

"Is there anything you'd like to ask?"

Hearing Lao Bai's words, Qiu Tu fiddled with the golden box in his hand, then said thoughtfully, "This golden box... isn't yours, is it?"

Upon hearing this, the man in white smiled noncommittally, neither confirming nor denying it.

Qiu Tu asked, "Did someone else ask you to give this to me?"

"Who is it? The Witch of Chaos?"

The man in white remained smiling and silent.

Qiu Tu was genuinely annoyed by Lao Bai's enigmatic personality.

Back in the New Territories, he wouldn't say anything, leaving Qiu Tu to guess.

Later, when he arrived at the "Ancient Continent," he still only told Qiu Tu half of what he wanted to say, leaving the rest for Qiu Tu to figure out on his own.

Now look what's happened. They gave me something out of nowhere, without even offering an explanation.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu became even angrier. Too lazy to press further, he casually tossed the golden box into the "dimensional space," leaned back, and nonchalantly said...

"Fine. Since you don't want to talk about it, I won't force you."

"Let's talk about exchanging prisoners."

"This is a collaboration we agreed upon beforehand. Although 'Chaotic Western Capital' is in complete chaos right now, since I'm already here, we should still continue our cooperation."

Bai Yi really understands Qiu Tu.

He seemed to have anticipated that Qiu Tu would bring up the collaboration, so he opened his right hand, and the next second a blue glass marble appeared in his hand.

The glass marble seemed to possess a magical power, spinning quietly in his hand.

The glass marbles are not transparent; they contain continents, oceans, and glaciers, making them look like a real world.

Qiu Tu pondered for a moment, then asked, "This is... a world?"

"Have you become so powerful that you can carry the world with you?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the man in white looked at him with a half-smile, his hand still raised.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu knew it would be impolite to wait any longer, so he reached out and picked up the glass marble, then held it up to his eyes to examine it closely.

The man in white picked up his teacup, took another sip with an air of elegance, and said, "Your foundation is too weak right now; you don't even know some basic common sense."

He said, "The gods have already begun to take away a portion of the authority of the world's origin. When it comes to the god-king, his authority in the world is almost the same as that of the world's origin."

"So, once you become a high-ranking god-king, what's so strange about casually taking a world, crafting it into a 'special treasure,' and carrying it with you?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu lightly retorted, "You've advanced to the High-Level God King?"

Hearing Qiu Tu subtly mocking him, the man in white laughed and retorted, "But I know many high-ranking God-Kings."

Qiu Tu was indeed no match for Bai Yi in this regard, so he simply said "Oh" and promptly changed the subject.

"Give me this, it's...the prisoners are all here...."

Before Qiu Tu could finish speaking, the woman in white looked at him and gently interrupted him, "It's all prepared for you already."

"All the deities of order captured during the last 'Chaotic Western Capital' are here."

"You can go back and report directly."

If Qiu Tu had taken Bai Yi's earlier claim of impending death as a joke, now that Bai Yi was making his final arrangements and perfectly fulfilling all his promises, Qiu Tu was beginning to believe him.

So, the playful expression on his face slowly disappeared, and he became serious.

He looked at the man in white, then spoke seriously, "Is death inevitable? And why?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Bai Yi casually picked up a chess piece, placed it on the chessboard, and said, "I remember a friend once told me something."

He said: Life is a long journey, and death is not the end, but a rest stop along the way.

"So do not fear death, but accept it with equanimity. After all, it is just a trivial comma in life."
