Chapter 960: Contestant Camp!
“Are you sure this isn’t a prison or something of that kind? Did we come to the wrong place?” Bai Xiaofei gawked in utter disbelief at the sky-tall, dark walls and heavy iron gates that were wholly integrated with a defensive formation.
“Of course not. Do you think I’d remember such a unique place wrong? But there’s one thing you are right about. This place used to be a prison, but it was abandoned later. When we decided to hold the competition, I had people clean it up to accommodate the contestants,” explained Ye Xi with a slight smile so irritating that Bai Xiaofei just wanted to strangle her.
However, he didn’t have the guts to. She was royalty and this was the imperial capital. Let alone strangle, he had nearly been arrested for just poking her a little.
If it had been any other place, he could just walk away, but here in Moonlight where just a soldier could seal his energy, running had never been more difficult…
“Alright, go in and enjoy your time there!” Ye Xi burst out laughing.
On the side, Tan Xin looked at the building and shook her head. This woman was actually right. I wouldn’t want to come into a place like this even if you beg me to!
“Master, please come see me often. I have a feeling that I won’t even have a full meal in this place!” Bai Xiaofei yelped.
Tan Xin, who was secretly planning to ‘abandon’ Bai Xiaofei, was jolted awake by his voice. Hurriedly hiding the guilt on her face, she solemnly cleared her throat.
“Ahem, you can rest assured that I will come to see you often. Behave and put on your best performance so you can get out early.”
However, she couldn’t sound more half-hearted…
“I’ve booked a hotpot. Are you coming or not?” Ye Xi called out from the carriage.
“Coming!” Tan Xin instantly left Bai Xiaofei behind and trotted toward the carriage.
“Say, Xiaofei, why do I feel like we’ve entered a serpent den…” Zhu Chunyang looked at the iron gate in front of him and swallowed heavily.
“Brother, for the sake of your love, you must persist!” Bai Xiaofei patted Zhu Chunyang on the shoulder. However, he was inwardly comforting himself as well.
This lord has been through many storms! This lord will be fine!
I’m not panicking! Not one bit!
Working up his courage, Bai Xiaofei took the lead and stepped into the ‘prison.’ As soon as he knocked on the gate, it opened with a creak and a familiar face poked out. Seeing the person, Bai Xiaofei’s mind only had two words –
I’m finished…
“Oooohh! Who have we here?!”
Ye Tong’s crystal-clear voice rang out as Bai Xiaofei’s complexion became deathly pale.
Meanwhile, Zhu Chunyang behind him was ecstatic. Oh, to look for her everywhere and keep failing, only to find her effortlessly like this!
“Your Highness, I, Fickle Bai, was wrong for offending you before. If you could be so kind…”
“No can do!” Ye Tong cut Bai Xiaofei off with a smug expression.
“Your Highness, it’s beneath you to hold it against a little servant like me!” Bai Xiaofei bitterly said. If he had known Ye Tong was royalty, he would have stopped himself from letting Huskie say those provocative words at any cost…
