Chapter 729: I Won’t Let You Down! (1/2)

“I think you may have some misunderstandings. If you don’t mind, how about we talk somewhere else?” There were too many people in the hall. Leng Hen was afraid that if their conversation dragged on, his face as an emperor would all be lost.

“Do we all go together?” Wen Xiaoyao was extremely sensitive. He had seen his fair share of ‘divide and conquer.’ As long as their group got separated, they might be captured by Leng Hen’s people within seconds.

However, before Leng Hen could answer, a smiling Bai Xiaofei suddenly opened his mouth.

“You guys wait for me. I want to talk to His Majesty alone.”

Hearing this, even Leng Hen was stunned. Is this kid out of his mind? Isn’t he scared that I’ll take the opportunity to deal with him?

Despite his surprise, Leng Hen showed no emotions on his face. Wen Xiaoyao and the others wanted to tell Bai Xiaofei to take back what he just said, but they were stopped by Cang Lan.

“Let him go. We’re not here to start a fight, why bring so many people?” Cang Lan then turned to Leng Hen. “If anything happens to this smelly boy, you would be provoking all of the three legends at the same time.”

Cang Lan’s words were full of threat, but it wasn’t an empty threat.

Revelation was Bai Xiaofei’s master. Cang Lan had been Bai Xiaofei’s teacher for a while. Lin Nishang had just been saved by Bai Xiaofei and now owed him one right after repaying Revelation’s favor. If Bai Xiaofei died in the Snow Kingdom, the three legends might unprecedentedly come together. No one could bear such consequences.

“Master Cang Lan is too worried. I, Leng Hen, am not that kind of sinister little man,” Leng Hen solemnly replied.

Cang Lan nodded and continued, “Also, we are all tired from the long trip. We need a good place to rest with good wine and good food. If your reception is not up to par, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Cang Lan really left Leng Hen no face as he talked from the position of someone high above. But to Bai Xiaofei’s ear, that was not the case.

You smelly old man! You followed me for a comfortable vacation, didn’t you?!

“Didn’t you hear Master Cang Lan? Go and welcome our distinguished guests!” Leng Hen shouted.

Immediately, palace servants appeared and received Cang Lan’s group. Except for the triplets who worriedly watched as Bai Xiaofei disappeared with their father around the corner, the rest had started putting their hearts on the upcoming wine and food.

Meanwhile, Bai Xiaofei followed Leng Hen to the royal study. Leng Hen dismissed his attendants, leaving only the two of them in the spacious room.

Sitting down on a gold-plated chair, Leng Han started to observe Bai Xiaofei closely.

“I didn’t expect Starnet to produce such a talent.”

It was unexpected praise that started the conversation. Bai Xiaofei chose silence as his reply.

“Your real purpose of coming here is not to demand an explanation for Orton’s actions, is it?” Leng Hen asked after some thought. His question hit the main topic this time.
