Chapter 948 Meeting Leila by chance
"Then the matter of the Chamber of Commerce has been settled like this? There is no room for further maneuvering?"
Bai Qiyun's head hurt when he heard from Gulesh that the sages had put all the blame for the two incidents on the fugitive wanted criminals of the Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce.
"At the moment, it seems...no. The investigation reports I have are all pointing to Khawaja personally, but he is now in a coma, and the matter has frozen."
Kyulesh let out a long sigh.
Although this had no impact on him personally, it was a bit tiring to put things on hold in this way after working on them for a long time.
"Yeah."
Bai Qiyun frowned, thinking of a way to break the situation.
If the situation continues like this, it will be even more difficult for him to rescue Shazaman and clear away the grievances of the Humayi family.
What made him feel even more helpless was that this decision was made by all the other sages. In other words, if he wanted to overturn this decision, he would have to make most of the sages change their minds, or even overthrow the great sage.
"I will go lobby Mr. Nafis. If you want to sway the decision of the Sage Council, you need to bring two sages into the game."
Although Bai Qiyun said it was easy, in fact changing this decision was not that simple.
Because abandoning the existing blame-shifters means that a new ‘pot king’ needs to be elected. After all, the attack on a sage is a major event, and an explanation must be given.
Otherwise, if King Daci Shu comes out of seclusion later, if this matter is not handled well, they will suffer serious consequences as well.
If the investigation continues, it will be easy to offend the mastermind behind the scenes. Although we don't know who did it, the sages adhere to the mentality of doing more than doing less, and there is a high probability that they will not continue to bother.
"Then it's up to you. Anyway, I have nothing to worry about before I retire."
Kyulesh chuckled. From a personal point of view, he still wanted to find out the whole story.
After all, it was Khawaja who was attacked today, but there is no telling who might be next.
"Leave it to me. If there is still a meeting of sages, I hope Sir Gyrus will try his best to delay it."
"Do your best."

During the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival, the students who stayed behind at the Teaching Academy were also ready to make a move.
It happened that the teachers had all gone out to perform their duties, and no one restrained them. Groups of students put on their casual clothes and started marching on the field.
Leila is naturally one of them.
It's just that she seems to be lacking in interest now.
Because she had just contacted Bai Qiyun and wanted to see if there was anything interesting at the Flower Goddess Festival.
But the other party's reply to her was that she had something to do today and couldn't accompany her.
"Oh...it's better to read in the library."
Without the company of her friends, Leila looked listless.
If she had seen herself like this in the past, she would definitely be surprised.
After all, she had always managed it alone before, so why was she so abnormal today?
Leila followed the flow of people and unknowingly arrived at the Zubair Theater in the Grand Bazaar.
People here are singing and dancing, it's so lively.
Compared with the enthusiastic crowd, Laila seemed even more abrupt.
But fortunately, everyone here is busy with their own affairs, and no one will pay attention to her little transparent person.
"Ah, sorry."
Suddenly, someone accidentally bumped into her shoulder.
But when their eyes met, the awkward scene became even more embarrassing.
Looking at the girl in front of him, Bai Qiyun suddenly wanted to slap himself.
Why is he walking without looking at the road?
"Bai...Mr. Bai, didn't you say you had something to do?"
There was a hint of surprise in Leila's eyes, but more of it was deep curiosity.
However, Bai Qiyun also heard a hint of vague resentment in her voice. Could it be that he heard it wrong?
Hey, hey, hey, she's obviously a little girl, how could this happen?
This child has the potential to become a resentful woman in the future.
Bai Qiyun scratched his head.
"Um...I came to the theater to find someone. I'm really busy today."
This is not because he was perfunctory with Leila. He said goodbye to Disiya in the morning and went to find Qulesh at noon. It was already afternoon when he arrived at the Zubair Theater. He was really busy.
"Really? The person Mr. Bai can find at the Flower Goddess Festival must be very important."
"That...is true to a certain extent."
Bai Qiyun was caught off guard by Laila's sudden hardness.
Especially since he just finished the follow-up to Disiya yesterday, he now sees Leila feeling a little guilty for some reason.
In addition, the people he wanted to meet were Ying, Kujo and the others. If Laila met him, she might be angry with him in the future.
When the two of them got along at the beginning, Laila still looked like a weak girl, but later on, I don’t know if it was the subconscious influence of No. 2 Laila, but Laila became more and more relaxed in front of him.
Now I dare to face Yin Yang directly.
He simply didn't dare think about what would happen next.
"Huh...really?"
Laila seemed to see Bai Qiyun's guilty conscience, and the smile at the corner of her mouth became more and more unbridled.
But she didn't push too hard. Firstly, there was no reason, and secondly, she didn't have the qualifications.
At least that's the case now.
"Forget it, Mr. Bai, go and be busy if you want. It's just that I'm alone in this theater. It's so boring."
Laila narrowed her eyes and gave a slight sideways glance, as if she meant something.
Bai Qiyun reacted instantly, patted his chest and said.
"Wait for me here for a while, and I'll take you to eat after the show in the evening."
“It’s a deal!”
"It's a deal."
After finally dealing with Leila, whom he met by chance, Bai Qiyun spent all his efforts to get to the backstage of Zubair Theater.
According to common sense, he, a tourist, couldn't get in, but those mortals couldn't stop him, and he broke in in a blink of an eye, without attracting anyone's attention.
As soon as he walked into the backstage, Bai Qiyun saw several girls standing with Nilu.
Just standing there, their youthful atmosphere was extremely strong. Even in a dance troupe where good-looking people were everywhere, the looks of a few of them were the most outstanding ones.
Bai Qiyun didn't see anyone else, he directly approached Ni Lu and the others, and suddenly said.
"We haven't seen each other for a few days. Have you made a new friend?"
The voice that rang in everyone's ears immediately attracted Paimon's attention.
The little guy turned his head and saw Bai Qiyun, and was instantly overjoyed.
"Cooker! Why are you here?"
"Isn't this a festival? I'll come over to see you in my spare time."
Laila couldn't listen to this, otherwise she would have another attack.
Chapter completed!
