Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

Chapter 297 Master Qin Escaped?

Bai Jingbing sat in the hall in a carefree manner, while the manager carefully tended to him, pouring tea and water, fearing that any slight mistake might displease him.

As the manager anxiously waited, someone pushed open the large door. A man in his fifties entered, and upon seeing Bai Jingbing, his eyes betrayed a hint of surprise, which he quickly suppressed.

"Master Qin! You finally came back with the groceries! Let me introduce you, this is Bai Jingbing, the highest-ranking official of the nursing home! He's here for a meal today especially to thank you!"

With a grin, the manager approached and said, "The special meals you prepare daily are greatly liked by the Bai Family patriarch. Officer Bai has come to have a couple of drinks with you, and he specifically requested your cooking!"

Upon hearing this, a fierce light momentarily flashed undetected in Master Qin's eyes. He bowed to Bai Jingbing and said, "I'm honored by Officer Bai's praise. I'll head to the kitchen and prepare the ingredients right away!"

Bai Jingbing looked at the seemingly honest and simple man before him, unable to find any hint of a flaw.

Not wanting to startle the snake, Bai Jingbing smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble Master Qin, and make sure to come over for a drink!"

"Of course! Of course!"

Overwhelmed by the honor, Master Qin stepped forward to shake hands with Bai Jingbing, then carried a bag full of ingredients into the kitchen.

"Officer Bai, would you and the other two like to proceed to the private room?"

Bai Jingbing nodded and led Song Yun and Qi Shan into a compartment.

"Nephew, did you notice anything amiss?"

Song Yun frowned slightly and said, "I'm not too certain yet, but if the other party can cultivate a personal Gu, their power must not be underestimated, and so must their ability to conceal that power."

The three of them sat in the compartment with their concerns, but after more than ten minutes, aside from the manager bringing in a pot of tea, not a single dish was served.

Even if Master Qin needed time to heat the wok, shouldn't he at least have sent up a couple of appetizing cold dishes to keep the guests occupied?

"Something's not right!"

Song Yun suddenly stood up and rushed toward the kitchen.

Bai Jingbing and Qi Shan also changed expression and quickly followed him.

Upon reaching the kitchen, there was no sign of Master Qin, only the manager lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing!

"Damn it, we've been played by that bastard!"

When was the magic creature taken out?

If Qin Bingsheng stubbornly refuses to show himself, could he really kill the other's life-bound magic creature?

Damn it, is he still going to carry out his mission!

Just as Song Yun was about to step forward to take the cup, dozens of brightly colored snakes emerged from within the crowd!

"Fire!"

"You want to resist to the end, huh! Then don't blame me for being merciless!" Bai Jingbing gritted his teeth and shouted.

No sooner had his voice fallen when a swarm of wasps flew out from the woods, causing everyone to look at each other with a chill in their eyes. Although these wasps couldn't compare to poisonous snakes, they were small in size and large in number, and a sting would undoubtedly swell one's face to a grotesque state!

"Playing with magic creatures? Hmph!"

Song Yun took the cup from Bai Jingbing's hand with indifference, and a silver needle flashed in his hand as he stabbed it fiercely into Qin Bingsheng's life-bound magic creature.

With the life-bound creature's blood on the needle, Song Yun stood at the forefront of the crowd, and surprisingly, not a single wasp or poisonous snake dared to advance a step further.

This was the suppression of bloodline!

It must be known that each life-bound magic creature is extremely formidable. One must choose from the larvae and collect a hundred to put into a pot to let them kill each other, supplementing the process with secret medicines. Only the last survivor would be qualified to become a life-bound magic creature.

Then, after continuous taming and field practice, when a natural affinity develops between the master and the creature, the master would feed it with his own vital blood. Only then is the contract between the two formally established.

If there were any mistakes in the process or if the magic creature was substandard, it would be immediately destroyed. Thus, the strength of a Gu Master is largely determined by whether they possess a life-bound magic creature!

"Damn it!"

Qin Bingsheng cursed quietly from his hiding place.

In his wildest dreams, he couldn't have imagined his opponent resorting to such a method!

"I'll count to three, and if you don't come out, you will perish along with your life-bound magic creature!" Song Yun said calmly.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"
