BAIHU (White Tiger Warrior): Challenging the Dragon
CHAPTER 43 | Investigate Hints

Finally Baihu followed Yang Zi and Xin Ye on their way to Peach city. After descending the mountains where the residence of the three sects passed through the forest at the foot of the mountains until it finally arrived at the city of Wuxia. Then they looked for a place to rest while filling their stomachs. Baihu only followed the two women because she did not understand the area and the path she was going through.

“Baihu, where have you been for a year after last year's incident?” asked Yang Zi.

He did not know Baihu was confined within the Cave of Wisdom. At that time he was in a state of poisoning with the disciples and sect elders present watching the match. So they were busy recovering their respective conditions. And after that they were all startled by the disappearance of the sect heads, which they finally returned to their respective sect residences.

“I was confined in a cave for over a year, I just got out today” Baihu said

“A...Whahuh? You're locked up in that cave?” Yang Zi was surprised to hear Xin Ye glare in disbelief at what she heard.

“Why doesn't your body look much changed? Is there a lot of food in the cave or fruits?” xin Ye asked curiously.

Baihu only smiled hearing Xin Ye's question, “Nothing. I haven't eaten until today” said

“Then you have to eat a lot today” said Yang Zi was about to order again for Baihu.

“No need miss Yang, I don't usually eat much. I also do not feel hungry even though I have not touched the food” Baihu said while smiling at him.

Yang Zi looked at Baihu's handsome and tall face. She became more mature at the age of 16. In four months he will be 17, so he should be mature.

“Baihu, do you have a lover?” xin Ye's tease suddenly made Baihu startled and almost spurt water in her mouth.

“Uhuk!” Baihu coughed at Xin Ye's question

Baihu's face flushed red from the question from Xin Ye that was deliberately teasing her. “Sorry, I have not thought about a lover until now” Baihu said expressionlessly.

Rather than thinking about the lover, Baihu felt a grudge against his parents' unrequited death. On the other hand he was currently also thinking about the departure of Wang Mei and also the disappearance of the sect head of Shang Chi.

“Not you two have been betrothed by your parents?” Xin Ye again cornered Baihu without seeing Yang Zi's face which also turned red because of her words.

“Sister Xin, it is the will of both our parents. Baihu was free to make her choice” Yang Zi told Xin Ye, even though she had now changed her gaze towards Baihu.

Ever since the martial match a year ago, Yang Zi had become amazed at Baihu. Despite his young age but his calmness and non-exciting attitude made Baihu an idol of the other big sect disciples. The figure of the boy named Baihu became the second hot topic of conversation besides the news about the disappearance of their sect leader.

Baihu did not answer the question about their matchmaking, she simply fell silent without answering it.

“Yang Zi, what do you think of that matchmaking?” Xin Ye turned to ask Yang Zi after seeing Baihu not answering her and made Yang Zi's eyes twitch.

“Uhuk!” this time Yang Zi who was about to choke heard Xin Ye question

Xin Ye looked towards Baihu who was indifferent not caring about the conversation about matchmaking. Baihu's eyes were seen looking the other way. In his mind he thought of the whereabouts of the sect head Shang Chi.

Just as Xin Ye was about to ask back, the waiter had come and served their food. He delayed his question.

Baihu's face looked calm while eating her food, “Ah, after a long time I finally felt the food back” murmurnya enjoy the food

After they finished their meal, Baihu was seen first coming out of the stall because he was about to see the situation of Wuxia city. Then Xin Ye approached Baihu to speak while Yang Zi was finishing her payment.

“Baihu, you better consider about that matchmaking. Because I see it looks like Yang Zi likes you” Xin Ye whispered to Baihu.

Baihu's eyes twitched hearing Xin Ye's words, she really did not expect Yang Zi to like her. “Sorry Miss Xin, I really haven't thought about matchmaking. There are still some other things I have to do” said with a real face.

Xin Ye saw solemnity in Baihu's eyes. He did not know what things Baihu had in mind, he finally sighed and walked ahead of him. While Baihu was still waiting for the arrival of Yang Zi who after that they went to catch up with Xin Ye.

“Nona Yang, I heard all the heads of the great sects have been taken away by those looters. What happened while I was in the Wisdom Cave?” ask Baihu on that trip

“True. After the martial match was over, we disciples along with the sect heads, elders, and teachers had been exposed to their poison. We were busy recovering conditions and removing each other's toxins.” recalls Yang Zi will the incident at that time.

Yang Zi took her breath in recalling the great tragedy of the sect that happened back then.

“After the looters left, we finally recovered but did not see the existence of the sect heads. All the sects were shocked and looked for their chief. Having not found it, we returned to our respective sects and intended to search for their whereabouts” continued

“Then did you guys find any clue?” tanya Baihu returned

“The Sky Sword Sect found some clues beforehand, but all of those clues were deadlocked. But until now you have not given up. Our departure to the city of Peaches was based on one of the instructions we just received” said Yang Zi back.

Baihu pondered hearing the words from Yang Zi, he did not know if the Sun Moon sect had also found any other clues. However he was furious at the thought that it seemed like Shu Wei did not intend to find his sect head back.

Shu Wei was actually pleased with the disappearance of the sect head which made him now the chairman of the Sun Moon sect.

“What are the clues found in the city of Peaches?” tanya Baihu returned.

“The looters were very smart and well-planned. During this time they sold the results of their loot separately and randomly. From that we found the clue, but they were very smart to remove their tracks” said Yang Zi with a grim face.

Hearing that Baihu again pondered the words of Yang Zi, “I think there is power behind them. It is also likely that one of the big sects also allied with those looters” Baihu said with a serious face.
