Chapter 900: What Do You Want?

Even after three days after the Third and Fourth Princes’ visit, Bai Xiaofei still had seen no sight of the Sixth and Eighth. He had no idea that the First Prince had already talked with them until he was informed.

Like the Third and Fourth Prince, the Sixth and Eighth also supported Bai Xiaofei’s idea, not to mention when it was the First Prince who personally told them about it.

When Bai Xiaofei asked why it took the First Prince so long to inform him, the guy glossed over it, saying that the Sixth and Eighth had been too busy to see him.

Bai Xiaofei didn’t struggle over this matter. He only needed to know that the princes meant no harm to him.

He had suspicions about something else. According to the puppetsmith who made human puppets, Shadow Death was hired by someone who wanted to intervene with the throne competition. However, among the five princes, he couldn’t imagine anyone who seemed like they would do such a thing.

Is someone not what they appear? Or is this person among the two remaining princes, the Sixth and Eight?

Bai Xiaofei felt a headache coming on. Shadow Death had always been his biggest problem. If the human puppet matter remained unhandled, he could not imagine the turbulence it was capable of stirring up in the future.

“Still troubled by the human puppet thing?” a familiar voice suddenly rang out.

Jolted out of his thoughts, Bai Xiaofei exclaimed, “How did you get in here?!” as he stared at the loli-form Tan Xin in disbelief.

“Did I not say that you aren’t allowed to leave me behind? Who knew that you entered the palace and never came out?! I had to ask the old man to take me in, telling the guards that I’m your future wife,” said Tan Xin righteously.

However, Bai Xiaofei just knew that she had definitely used shady means to get in. Not to mention his future bride, even he needed a token to pass the current Imperial Guard!

“Did you attack them?” Bai Xiaofei gulped as he worried for the guards. With Tan Xin’s ability, even a squad wouldn’t be able to stop her.

“Don’t worry, how can I attack your people? The old man brought me in with the emperor’s pass.” Tan Xin rolled her eyes angrily.

“That’s good. How is the situation outside? Did anyone visit the Yun family these past two days?”

Bai Xiaofei only had a few concerns at the moment and Tan Xin had guessed that he would ask this.

“The Fourth Prince did once, but interestingly, he didn’t come to seek the support of the Yun clan. Can you guess what he did?” Tan Xin laughed with ill-intent as she stared strangely at Bai Xiaofei.

“He asked about me, didn’t he?” Bai Xiaofei could guess, but he was still surprised by it. He found it hard to believe that information on him was more important than the support of the Yun family to the Fourth Prince.

“Wow, you actually can guess this. Confess, what kind of spell did you cast on them? They have been asking about you everywhere, and the Sixth Prince even mobilized the Ethereal Merchant Group,” Tan Xin then described what had happened.

The more she said, the scarier it felt. Bai Xiaofei had broken into a cold sweat. He only thought that they just wanted to investigate him, but for them to go to such lengths, there was definitely a bigger purpose…

“Maybe… probably… they want to keep me in Ethereal.” After half a day of hesitation, Bai Xiaofei hit the nail on the head. However, the two of them had no way to verify his speculation.
