Chapter 892: Summoned!

The day after Princess Ling Ge’s grand marriage, the emperor, who had been seriously ill for several consecutive months, suddenly returned to the court looking healthy. Just when everyone thought that he had recovered from his sickbed, the emperor announced his last order.

He ordered his five sons to swear an oath in front of the whole, pulling up the curtains to the competition for the throne.

And then, he did something that Bai Xiaofei never thought of – Summon him!

Full of doubt, Bai Xiaofei followed Lan He into the palace. After passing through layers of guards, he entered the imperial study.

Different from the magnificence one would imagine of a palace room, the imperial study of the Ethereal emperor was neat and uncomplicated, and the emperor did not wear the kind of splendid clothes that everyone would think but was dressed plainly instead.

“Surprised, aren’t you?” The emperor greeted Bai Xiaofei with a smile, looking like a friendly next-door neighbor.

“Greetings, Your Majesty!” Bai Xiaofei wasn’t stupid enough to think that a powerful man who had established an empire was as simple as he looked.

“I think you already know my situation, so there is no need for courtesies with me. I am a dying person who wants to have a chat with you, so please don’t regard me as a high and mighty emperor, but an old man who would like to entrust his affairs with you,” said the emperor as he walked to Bai Xiaofei and pulled out two chairs before sitting down in one.

Then, seeing that Bai Xiaofei was in a daze, he laughed. “What’s wrong? Can’t take my words for real? I heard from Lan He that you aren’t the unconfident type who cares about so-called status.”

This was an obvious provocation, but it worked wonders.

“Then I will make myself at home.” Returning to his senses, Bai Xiaofei chuckled and sat down on the other chair opposite the emperor, making history to be the first of his generation ever to sit on the same level as a great emperor!

“I collected your information and know everything that you’ve been through. To be honest, you remind me of a person who I met many years ago. You are very similar to him at that time, nosy and unpredictable.” The emperor sighed, his eyes deep as if lost in memories.

It was not difficult to see that he had a good impression of the man he mentioned.

“Is there really such a person?” Bai Xiaofei couldn’t suppress his curiosity.

“Of course. His name is Bai Longfei. Unfortunately, I couldn’t keep him in Ethereal, and I didn’t expect him to end up like that,” said the emperor regretfully.

Bai Xiaofei was stunned to hear his father’s name as his emotions stirred. He knows what happened to my father?!

“End up like what?!” asked Bai Xiaofei, unable to control his emotions.
