Chapter 948: One Tiny Clue Reveals the General Trend!

“Elegy City is ahead. We will rest for 30 minutes and enter the city!”

The month-long journey so far had made everyone complain nonstop. Upon hearing that they finally got to stop at a city, they instantly perked up.

“We’ve passed through so many cities and never entered one. Why is this time different?” Bai Xiaofei walked up to Ye Xi and asked curiously. He did not think that she did this because of everyone’s complaints.

“Elegy is a very special city. Here, all those who sacrificed for Moonlight have a plaque. Every soldier passing by will stop to show respect,” replied Ye Xi slowly, her voice slow and sorrowful.

Many names left in this city were familiar to her…

“Actually, you can try to use men, it will be less hard on you,” Bai Xiaofei sincerely suggested.

His reply was a cold snort from Ye Xi. “If men are reliable, pigs can fly. You think we don’t know how miserable women in other countries are? Caring for their home, chores all day long, only to get beaten up and scolded when the men are slightly unhappy. We’d rather sacrifice our lives instead of having to live that kind of life.”

Bai Xiaofei was speechless. This was indeed true in many places.

However, it was a bit extreme to think like Ye Xi. Good men like Yun Lan existed.

“Then, what is the reason for the servant contest? Don’t tell me it’s just to pick a servant for the emperor. But if that’s the case, you guys will be no different from those bad men you despise,” Bai Xiaofei guided the topic toward what he wanted to know, but unfortunately, Ye Xi had no plan to elaborate.

“If you have enough rest, get prepared. We still have at least two hours on the road. Save your energy.” She got up and left.

Helpless, Bai Xiaofei returned to his carriage.

“Failed again?” Tan Xin mocked as soon as he entered.

“Moonlight’s prejudice against men is just too… Although they are right on some points, it’s a bit too extreme. At this rate, problems will arise sooner or later,” commented Bai Xiaofei with a sigh.

“Spare me all that stuff. Their empire has existed and thrived for so many years, how can it just go wrong as soon as you come? You’d better focus on the competition. Maybe they’ll ask you to put on a performance or something. Everyone else is practicing hard!” Tan Xin smiled evilly.

Bai Xiaofei felt his scalp tingle at the word ‘performance.’

The other contestants had really broadened his horizons. There was really no limit to how far they could go!

Have they really thrown away all of their dignity?!

Seeing Bai Xiaofei getting all torn up, Tan Xin laughed out loud. Then, her face suddenly became serious. “Have you noticed something problematic?”
