Chapter 949: Conversation at the Columbarium!

A two hours’ journey was nothing when compared with the previous one month on the road. Once the motorcade entered Elegy City, everyone felt like they had been liberated.

“We will be staying here for a day and gather again at the city gate the morning of the day after tomorrow. You are free to do your own things during this period,” Ye Xi announced.

This drew a collective cheer from the crowd, even Bai Xiaofei.

“Fickle Bai, you come with me.”

Bai Xiaofei’s smile froze on his face upon Ye Xi’s icy order.

“Based on what?! He is my servant, he follows me!” Tan Xin stood out at this critical juncture to defend her ‘ownership.’

Unfortunately, Ye Xi did not care. She used her killer move again. “You can come with me if you want. Don’t forget your identities.”

“You said that you wouldn’t mention what happened as long as I handled the Black Dragon Swarm,” Bai Xiaofei smugly reminded Ye Xi.

“I did? Why can’t I remember at all? Don’t tell me you want to go through some training at the Servant Management Office before we leave this city? There is a branch at Elegy City ready for you.”

Unexpectedly, Ye Xi, who looked like an iceberg, would play dirty. Bai Xiaofei had always thought that this was his exclusive.

“You are unreasonable!” said Tan Xin as she gnashed her teeth and stomped her feet.

Ye Xi had no intention to be reasonable. “Under my jurisdiction, I am always reasonable!” she declared with a smile. “Fickle Bai, it’s up to you.”

Bai Xiaofei squealed bitterly as Ye Xi walked off. Then he made his decision. “Let’s go, let’s see what she’s up to.”

However, Tan Xin made no move to follow him. “I know you can handle it on your own. I’ll have a good meal while I wait for you!”

When Bai Xiaofei looked back, she had already vanished.

“Dammit!! Who said she’d never abandon me?!!” roared Bai Xiaofei.

Sadly, he accepted his fate and followed in the direction that Ye Xi had left. Little did he know, a pair of eyes were following him in the dark…

“If I am not mistaken, this is a columbarium…?” Bai Xiaofei gulped hard as he caught up with Ye Xi. This shouldn’t be a place one could casually come to!

“As a man, you may be one of the few who have been here,” remarked Ye Xi nonchalantly.

Feeling flattered and scared at the same time, he said, “I don’t like being special, so I’d better wait for you outside.”

He wasn’t stupid. Good things didn’t just fall down from the sky. It might be an honor for Moonlight people to get to enter the columbarium of the sacrificed, but Bai Xiaofei knew that he had not done anything to enjoy this honor.

Therefore, there must be something waiting for him once he went in…

“If you don’t like being special, then go to train at the Servant Management Office like other men. You probably haven’t been there, right?” asked Ye Xi aloofly.

“How could I miss such a rare opportunity?! That’s so unlike me!” Bai Xiaofei immediately moved his feet with a 180-degree change in attitude. If it weren’t for fear that he’d offend Ye Xi, he would have rushed past her.

“My Lord!”

As soon as they entered the building, the two guards at the door respectfully saluted Ye Xi.

Seeing this, Bai Xiaofei’s eyes lit up.

“I’m just following the usual routine, you don’t have to worry about me. This man is with me. Give him three incense sticks,” said Ye Xi casually, obviously accustomed to this situation.

“You are not just a simple general from the border, are you? Although this place is still a long way from the capital, it still can be considered intimate to the emperor and the guards seem to know you,” Bai Xiaofei probed.

“Nobody will think you’re dumb if you don’t run your mouth,” replied Ye Xi coldly as she took off her armor and placed it on the stone bench outside the hall.

Following her, Bai Xiaofei entered the hall. The moment he was inside, he quieted down and his face was filled with horror. In front of him was a pillar at least tens of meters high filled with nothing but memorial tablets!

Ye Xi respectfully lit the incense sticks and kowtowed to the memorial tablets. Bai Xiaofei followed suit. The whole process was done in extreme silence.
