Chapter 905 - Preparation! (1/2)

Chapter 905: Preparation!

After paying her redemption fee and leaving the Moon Beck Pavilion with Ni Xue, Bai Xiaofei headed straight to the Yun residence.

The Imperial Guard had left with the princes the previous day. Moreover, they no longer needed any guidance from Bai Xiaofei. What they needed was time to grow.

Meanwhile, Bai Xiaofei had something to do at the moment.

“You still know how to come back?!”

Tan Xin’s furious voice echoed from the distance as soon as Bai Xiaofei approached the entrance. However, when she rushed out to see him, her anger instantly became disgust.

“Don’t you dare tell me she was bestowed to you by the emperor!” Tan Xin glanced at Ni Xue before shooting Bai Xiaofei a fiery glare.

“Well… if I say yes, will you believe it?” Bai Xiaofei stuttered and awkwardly scratched his head.

“You guess?” Tan Xin coldly uttered, her tone already giving him the answer.

“Little sister, you are so cute! You must be very close with Xiaofei. Yes, the emperor bestowed me to him as a bribe. Don’t mind me, I definitely won’t affect your relationship. Besides, I can see that you haven’t done ‘that’ with Xiaofei yet, right? Maybe I can help you!” Ni Xue enthusiastically came up to Tan Xin with a barrage of temptation.

Tan Xin froze. Indeed, her progress with Bai Xiaofei was a bit slow. If it weren’t for her thick face, high morale, and strong aura, she wouldn’t have been able to stay with him.

“Don’t worry, as a woman, I know. I’ll teach you a few tricks and you’ll get him!” Ni Xue whispered to Tan Xin’s ear when she saw the latter look persuaded.

They only just met! Seeing them getting close so quickly, Bai Xiaofei nearly fell on his knees. The world of women is so complicated!

After half a day of silence, Tan Xin finally said, “Humph! The old man has been waiting for you for a while now!” With that, she turned around and walked ahead.

Meanwhile, Ni Xue winked at Bai Xiaofei. Her nifty manner had put a wry smile on his face. What a tormenting little devil!

“Let’s go, don’t let the old man wait.” Bai Xiaofei followed Tan Xin.

N Xue, who thought she would see a delighted reaction from him, pursed her lips in annoyance.

“Lil’ Brother, here you are!”

In the living room, the Yun clan’s management, including Yun Lan, were all present. Not only that, Lan He had brought his Lan family members over.

Seeing this grand scene, Bai Xiaofei understood.

“Big Bro, don’t tell me you’re all waiting for me…” He was really a little panicked. Among the crowd in the room, no one was younger than him. Moreover, he was followed by Tan Xin and Ni Xue, both of whom seemed out of place.

“Otherwise? You’re currently in an unusual position. Imperial Guard Overseer, isn’t it? That’s completely unheard of.” Yun Tianhe patted Bai Xiaofei’s shoulder with a smile so bright that people would think he himself was the overseer instead.

“Enough, Tianhe. We have business to discuss with Xiaofei,” Yun Lan stopped Yun Tianhe and motioned Bai Xiaofei to sit down at the main seat.

“Xiaofei, just this morning, both of our clans received a meeting request from all the five princes. We have been discussing their situation for a while without reaching an agreement on whom to support. If it were you, who would you bet on?” asked Yun Lan.

Bai Xiaofei guessed this would happen, but he didn’t expect the five princes to move so fast.

“Clan head, in fact, you know better than me in your heart, don’t you?” Bai Xiaofei replied.

Hearing this, many shook their heads and sighed with pity.

“The Imperial Guard will not side with anyone, I can guarantee that,” Bai Xiaofei added.

Everyone’s eyes immediately brightened. They thought Bai Xiaofei had reservations about their clans, which would put them in a tight spot because the support of the Imperial Guard was too important to ignore. However, if the Imperial Guard remained neutral, the two clans would be in the spotlight.

Meanwhile, Yun Lan asked in disbelief, “Why not?!”

In fact, he worried that Bai Xiaofei had other plans.

“I’m not staying in Ethereal. As a passer-by, I don’t need what you need. I’m just fulfilling the responsibility entrusted to me. Besides, I have another matter to deal with and I need the help of the Imperial Guard.”

Not everyone understood what he was mentioning, but since he had already explained up to this point, they couldn’t ask anything else.
