Chapter 529 - Were You Abandoned? (1/2)

Bai Yunyi felt that he was missing something.

However, this woman was very interesting, and he wouldn’t be very happy if Feng Qingtian claimed her.

“Your Highness, can the Bai family be dissolved now?” Gu Bailu asked.

Before the empress dowager could say anything, the emperor opened his mouth. “That was just a joke. How can the Bai family really be dissolved? The aim of the contest today was to pick out the four families for the Sword Test. Now that the Bai family has conceded their defeat, the Gu family can replace them.”

Gu Bailu asked Bai Yunyi, “What do you think?”

“It’s not bad that the family isn’t dissolved; otherwise, I would have to move.”

He was from the third branch of the family; if the family was dissolved, he would definitely have to move out of the house.

“Then let’s do as His Majesty says.”

It would be inappropriate for Gu Bailu to object, not after Bai Yunyi just cut her some slack and saved her life.

Though the Gu family would’ve won even if she died, she was truly grateful to him for saving her life.

The emperor didn’t expect her to be so considerate, and the empress dowager said in amazement, “Miss Gu, you are truly a magnanimous woman. Since you’re pregnant, you should get some rest now.”

You invited me to the royal palace when you know that I’m pregnant?

But the trip was worth it. At least, she had acquired a Holy Fruit, and her spiritual power would increase swiftly with the help of the royal legacy.

It then suddenly occurred to Gu Bailu that she hadn’t used her spiritual power at all today.

“Your Highness, I’m a little tired. May I take my leave first?” Now was a good time to leave since Feng Qingtian wanted her out of here sooner.

“Very well.” The empress dowager nodded and didn’t insist that she stay.
