The purpose of the trip to Candle Volcano was fulfilled, and it was time to return to White Scale City.
With this in mind, Bai Zi An, accompanied by Qiao Gu Bai, slowly headed towards the exit of Candle Volcano.
Bai Zi An's sense of direction was pretty good.
After a bit of time, Bai Zi An and Qiao Gu Bai successfully returned to the checkpoint of Candle Volcano.
The people of Candle Fire City paid close attention to the Beast Tamers entering Candle Volcano.
However, they didn't pay much attention to those who came out of Candle Volcano.
For this reason, Bai Zi An and Qiao Gu Bai easily left the checkpoint and arrived in Candle Fire City.
"Now, you are officially following me."
"So, I'm going to take you to White Scale City."
"Do you have any unfinished business in Ore Rock City that you need to go back to?"
Bai Zi An asked Qiao Gu Bai, knowing full well the answer.
Although he had already sent Bai Zhi to Ore Rock City to handle Qiao Gu Bai's affairs,
Bai Zi An didn't directly say it, but instead, inquired about Qiao Gu Bai's thoughts.
"I still have some debts in Ore Rock City that I need to take care of..."
Qiao Gu Bai said cautiously.
"Those are minor matters, the Bai family will handle them for you. What you need to consider is whether you need to go back to say goodbye to your family and friends?"
Bai Zi An interrupted Qiao Gu Bai's words and spoke to her.
"Really? My debts can be settled? That's great."
"As for other things... forget it, I'll just go to White Scale City with you."
Hearing about the settlement of her debts, Qiao Gu Bai was overjoyed.
Although it was a legacy left by her parents, it had been weighing heavily on her.
She hadn't expected that Bai Zi An could actually help her settle it.
This made Qiao Gu Bai very grateful to Bai Zi An.
Thinking carefully, Bai Zi An seemed to have done many things for her.
He helped her escape from Candle Volcano, contract a new pet, and even helped her settle her debts.
She had joined Bai Zi An, yet she hadn't done anything for him.
Yet, Bai Zi An had already done so much for her.
This deeply moved Qiao Gu Bai.
She had decided that once she gained strength, she would absolutely do her utmost to repay Bai Zi An.
Bai Zi An noticed all of Qiao Gu Bai's reactions, a hint of a smile in his eyes.
He could vaguely guess Qiao Gu Bai's thoughts.
And this was exactly the effect he wanted.
For Bai Zi An, Qiao Gu Bai's troubles weren't a big deal.
He didn't even need to pay anything, just a simple instruction.
By slightly leveraging his influence, he could gain the unwavering loyalty of a special S-rank talented individual.
In the entire world, what deal could be more worthwhile than this?
Of course, Qiao Gu Bai naturally didn't know Bai Zi An's thoughts, but she felt grateful.
As for going back to say goodbye to her family and friends,
due to her special talent, people around her gradually grew distant, making her increasingly solitary.
Therefore, she didn't have any friends to say goodbye to.
For this reason, Qiao Gu Bai hesitated for a moment, but ultimately made a decision.
She wouldn't return to that painful place in Ore Rock City.
She intended to follow Bai Zi An and go to White Scale City together.
Bai Zi An had no objections to this.
The matter was thus decided.
In the days that followed, Bai Zi An asked Bai Zhi and the others to help them arrange tickets back to White Scale City.
This was not a difficult task.
Bai Zhi quickly completed the task and provided Bai Zi An with a response.
Three days later, a Thousand-Blade Centipede train heading to White Scale City would arrive at the train station in Candle Fire City.
They could then take the Thousand-Blade Centipede train back to White Scale City.
Bai Zi An naturally had no objections to this.
As for the remaining three days, he could take a stroll around Candle Fire City.
Speaking of which, although Bai Zi An had been in Candle Fire City for some time,
when he first came to Candle Fire City, he went straight to Candle Volcano for training and didn't rest at all.
It was a good opportunity for him to take a good look at this city.
However, after taking a stroll, Bai Zi An was somewhat disappointed.
As a subordinate city, Candle Fire City's prosperity was naturally far inferior to White Scale City.
Its only characteristic was that the market in Candle Fire City had quite a few low-grade fire-type resources.
This was likely due to the presence of a volcano next to Candle Fire City.
However, these things were useless to Bai Zi An.
After all, he had just plundered a small spider nest.
Bai Zi An also had some low-grade fire-type resources on hand.
Therefore, Bai Zi An was somewhat unenthusiastic.
However, he didn't stop, but continued to wander through the various markets in Candle Fire City.
Because Bai Zi An still had a glimmer of hope, he wanted to see if he could find any hidden treasures.
After all, he had the "Eye of Revelation," an incredibly powerful talent.
Any special item, as long as it appeared before Bai Zi An, would be completely exposed.
Maybe he could use his talent to discover some special treasures.
This was Bai Zi An's thought.
For this reason, Bai Zi An took Qiao Gu Bai with him, strolling through the various markets in Candle Fire City.
However, Bai Zi An's luck was not very good, and for the next two days, he didn't find anything at all.
This made Bai Zi An speechless.
An entire Candle Fire City, and not even a single hidden treasure.
Was his luck really that bad?
"Wait, luck?"
Bai Zi An's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and looked at Qiao Gu Bai beside him.
Right, he almost forgot that he had someone with a special luck talent ability by his side.
Needless to say, it must be because of Qiao Gu Bai.
As long as Qiao Gu Bai was by his side, he wouldn't be able to expect to find any hidden treasures.
This was a significant problem.
"Qiao Gu Bai, you lead the way, walk according to your preferences, and I'll follow behind you."
Bai Zi An spoke to Qiao Gu Bai.
Although there was a problem, it wasn't impossible to solve, just needed a shift in thinking.
Since Qiao Gu Bai was absorbing all the good luck, why not let her lead the way, and let her choose where to go.
With her good luck, maybe she could discover something.
This was Bai Zi An's thought.
Qiao Gu Bai was a little puzzled, but she didn't disobey Bai Zi An's order.
Just like that, Bai Zi An and Qiao Gu Bai continued to wander through the various markets in Candle Fire City.
Only this time, it was Qiao Gu Bai who was leading the way.
It turned out that Bai Zi An's thinking was correct.
They had only been wandering for a short time when they actually found something good.
