Chapter 959: Real Eye-Opener!

“General!” The guards immediately greeted Ye Xi respectfully as the trio approached the gate.

“Don’t call me general, I no longer have anything to do with the war now. I’ve returned to bring someone to the competition,” replied Ye Xi, drawing the guards’ eyes to Bai Xiaofei.

“If so, then of course there is no problem. Please.” The guards made way for the three.

Behind Ye Xi, Bai Xiaofei softly poked her, reminding her about the arrested Zhu Chunyang. However, before Ye Xi could respond, a guard at the side immediately rushed over.

“Outrageous! How dare you disrespect Master Ye Xi?! Drag him to the prison!”

A large group of guards immediately rushed over and pointed their weapons at Bai Xiaofei so aggressively that it looked as if he had dug out their ancestral graves.

“Stand down! He is my servant, I allowed it!” Ye Xi quickly said. Bai Xiaofei didn’t know, but she knew full well that offending women was a great sin in Moonlight, and being taken to the prison was basically akin to stepping one foot into the gates of hell.

“When did he…”

“Do you want him to die?!” Ye Xi cut off the angry Tan Xin.

“My Lord, you have a special status, please don’t let men taint your nobility,” said the head of the guard group. The guards’ attitude eased after Ye Xi’s words and they all backed down.

“Why? Are you worried that I forgot about this?” Ye Xi’s expression grew ugly.

The head guard immediately knelt. “This subordinate dares not!”

“Get up, I know you’re just doing your duty. Also, you just arrested a man who’s also one of my people. You have not sent him away, have you?” Ye Xi snorted, her tone not improving at all.

“You mean that man surnamed Zhu?” The head guard frowned, her expression strange.

“Yes, it’s him! He’s just been caught by you!” Bai Xiaofei hurriedly chimed in for fear that Ye Xi didn’t know if it was the right person.

Little did he know that his words once again set off the situation.

“Outrageous! How dare you interrupt women when they talk?! How can a servant lack discipline?!” shouted a guard.

Ye Xi just wanted to strangle Bai Xiaofei on the spot. No one will think you’re dumb if you don’t talk!!

“I said, he is my servant! Do you want to help me discipline him?!” Ye Xi bit the bullet and roared. She was not the type of person who liked to use her identity to suppress people, but today she had done it twice…

“My Lord, this subordinate dares not, it’s just that…”

“No need to explain, just go and bring me that man. I don’t have time to waste in this place.” Ye Xi gritted her teeth. Of course, it was mostly because of Bai Xiaofei’s big mouth.

“My Lord, do you know the identity of that man?” asked the head guard hesitantly.

“You think I’d take in a servant without investigating his background first?!” Ye Xi’s voice had dropped below freezing point.

Sensing her anger, the head guard swallowed back the words on the tip of her tongue and said, “This subordinate understands!”
