Chapter 899: Excited Brothers!

Bai Xiaofei’s declaration stunned Ling Fan and Ling Hai.

“Brother Bai, are you sure?” Out of caution, Ling Fan didn’t let his irritation show.

“Certainly. That’s why a young boy like me could become the overseer of the Imperial Guard.” Bai Xiaofei was full of confidence as he reminded the two princes that he, the overseer, was personally appointed by the Great Emperor.

Even if they didn’t have belief in him, they should in their father, who wouldn’t hand over the Imperial Guard to someone without the capability to lead it.

At this thought, the two princes fell silent for a moment.

“Brother Bai, what do you think of the situation in the imperial city and how will it develop in the end?”

Since Ling Fan’s earlier problem made him no longer suitable to speak, it was Ling Hai who spoke, and it was a problem that he had no clue about. The Ethereal emperor only told them to compete but did not tell them how they should do it, which put all the five princes at a loss. Fight with soldiers or hold a vote? There was no direction at all.

“The situation is completely unknown because I believe that all of you are definitely trying to scale it to your favor. As for how it will develop, I can only say,” Bai Xiaofei paused and smiled. “According to the effort you make!”

This answer put a frown on the two princes’ faces.

“How do we do it?” asked Ling Hai.

From Ling Fan’s expression, this was the question that he, too, wanted to ask as well.

“While His Majesty didn’t specify the method, you guys are free to decide on it. There are only five qualified competitors, so once you reach a consensus, wouldn’t it all work out? I believe that it’s not difficult for you five brothers to achieve this,” replied Bai Xiaofei.

The eyes of the two princes lit up.

“From what you say, Brother Bai, I believe that you already have an idea!” Filled with excitement, Ling Fan could not resist speaking any longer and instantly looked embarrassed as he did. After all, he had just questioned Bai Xiaofei’s ability.

Bai Xiaofei didn’t care. What he wanted was exactly this.

“I do have a rough idea, yes. But no matter what the method is, the foremost requirement is that you five sit down together and have a good chat. As far as I know, all of you are indispensable to Ethereal.” Bai Xiaofei used this opportunity to verify what the First Prince had told him.

Judging from the reactions of Ling Fan and Ling Hai, it was true.

“Big Brother must have told you this. In fact, he said similar things that day when we were there to receive the decree. No matter what, we are brothers, and we can’t ruin the future of Ethereal just for a throne,” Ling Fan admitted with a sigh. Moreover, he also knew that his eldest brother was the most suitable candidate.

However, the allure of the title ‘Great Emperor’ was so tremendous that they could not bring themselves to give up.

“I have no problem.”
