Chapter 636: The Ceremony! (1/2)
Tranquil City, which had just finished a burial, started to bustle again. The death of a prince passed by just like that. Except to his mother and An Bang Ting, An Ming was no different than a normal person in the eyes of others, if he died then he died…
“Everything should be over today!”
Bai Xiaofei had put on formal clothes. The Leng sisters had also taken off their desert outfits and put on gorgeous dresses, looking like angels descending from the sky.
“Even if it’s not over, we can’t delay any longer. Grandpa said that he’d only stayed in the Snow Kingdom for four years, and now there’s only the month left. If we don’t get there before that, finding him would be like finding a needle in a haystack,” Leng Liuli reminded again as she had done before multiple times.
It was really trying to change Bai Xiaofei’s nosy character.
“Don’t worry, no matter what, I won’t bother with any matters concerning this play after today,” said Bai Xiaofei with a smile. This promise relieved Leng Liuli a little.
“Master, the carriage is here,” announced a new waiter outside the door. It was not until now did the inn discover that Bai Xiaofei was more than just rich.
Outside was the most luxurious carriage in Tranquil, inferior only to the emperor’s. It was one pulled by seven Blackscale Horses!
“Let’s go before we get surrounded by onlookers.” Bai Xiaofei opened the door and walked down the stairs.
The inn was currently filled with royal guards, and all the other guests were blocked from coming out of their rooms. It was impossible for Bai Xiaofei’s so-called ‘get surrounded’ to happen.
“Greetings, Master Bai!”
The eunuch manager standing next to the carriage bowed slightly. Without giving him a glance, Bai Xiaofei’s group directly boarded the luxury carriage that could accommodate at least 20 people.
With the high-pitch shout of the eunuch manager, the guards retreated from the inn and solemnly guarded both sides of the carriage in two long lines. The carriage then moved slowly toward the square where An Bang Ting had met the city before…
Although the speed wasn’t fast, the square wasn’t far away and they arrived at the newly decorated square before long. Different from the hasty construction before, the whole square had undergone an earth-shaking change.
A tall stone platform stood in the center, on which were large and small tables where civil and military dignitaries were already seated. In the main position were An Bang Ting and the three princes who stood out from the crowd. The seats for Bai Xiaofei’s group were also there and were even higher than that of the three princes.
Outside the square, spectating civilians had formed a sea of people. There were even people coming over from other cities. No one wanted to miss this grand ceremony that would determine the future of Tranquil.
“This student greets Teacher and the three ladies!” An Yue performed a big ceremonious greeting to Bai Xiaofei. It was his sincere gesture. In just one month, Bai Xiaofei had brought him great changes.
“You actually looked very spirited in formal clothes. No wonder for a prince!” Bai Xiaofei patted An Yue’s shoulder with a smile. Although he didn’t take An Yue as a disciple, he had taught An Yue as one during the past month. It was impossible for him not to feel anything.
