Chapter 886 - Shocking! (1/2)

Chapter 886: Shocking!

The huge movements of the Yun army were immediately known by the whole imperial city, sparking all sorts of opinions.

More than one minister openly denounced the Yun clan in court, but Yun Lan only replied to them with two words, ‘Daily training.’

Domineering, but Yun Lan was qualified to be so. Whether the others believed his reason or not had nothing to do with him. Either way, he’d still benefit!

As the emperor turned a blind eye to Yun Lan’s actions, the city was thrown into confusion leading to a chain reaction – any person with a little influence suddenly became active.

Meanwhile, the one who started it was doing something completely unrelated: Investigating the Puppetsmith Holy Mountain!

In order to do this, Bai Xiaofei had prepared for nearly a month. First, he sought out Ling Ge, with the help of whom he got an imperial edict to investigate. However, due to the particularity of the Puppetsmith Holy Mountain, he still could not act recklessly.

In fact, his so-called investigation was only a cover to lure an enemy out, and the bait was Yun Tianhe…

“Absolutely not! I will not agree! Who do you think I am? How can I ruin Ling Ge’s life for personal gain?!” Yun Tianhe was on the verge of erupting in his room.

“You think this is for your sake? Also, what makes you think this will ruin Ling Ge’s life? Do you know how happy she was when I told her about it?” Bai Xiaofei was not frightened at all, his tone was so indifferent that it drove Yun Tianhe crazy.

“You’re telling me that I understand it wrong? You’re using this opportunity to investigate the human puppet problem and then let me have all the credit as the stepping stone to marry Ling Ge, am I right? What is this if not a joke?!” Yun Tianhe still could not calm down at all.

Bai Xiaofei had already anticipated his reaction. He said, “I talked to Mu Yun, and she met with Ling Ge after. I don’t know what they talked about, but after Ling Ge left, Mu Yun asked me to tell you something.”

Yun Tianhe froze, asking with complex emotions, “What did she say?”

To tell the truth, he could only be sure that he was in love with Mu Yun. As for Ling Ge, he didn’t even know what the feeling he had for her was.

“She said that if you refuse to marry Ling Ge, you won’t see her for the rest of your life,” replied Bai Xiaofei.

Yun Tianhe was stuck for nearly ten minutes after this. Then, he said dejectedly, “Lil’ Bro, I know you are smart and you have your ways, but if it were you in my shoes, would you be able to accept such a thing? Don’t you think it’s cruel to Ling Ge? I’m not even sure if I like her! I don’t want to hurt her!”

Bai Xiaofei walked to him and patted his shoulder.

“I don’t know if I would, but I’m sure you already like Ling Ge, you just think that it would wrong Mu Yun. However, we all know that’s not the case anymore. As for Ling Ge, she just wants to be with you, as the simplest wish of a girl and not a princess. She cares not about other people’s opinions nor if this is sorry for her, she just wants to be with you. The process does not matter, she only cares about the result. In her words, to be able to become yours and also help you realize something big, she doesn’t mind doing such ‘killing two birds with one stone’ thing several times over.”

After a brief pause, Bai Xiaofei gazed at Yun Tianhe.
