Chapter 971: The Battlefield is a Man’s Destination!

Bai Xiaofei’s group quietly hid in a corner of the palace until dawn. When Bai Xiaofei was about to come out to find someone, Ye Tong arrived with a group of soldiers.

“Come out before I invite you out with violence!” Ye Tong’s angry voice resounded.

Hearing this, Bai Xiaofei wisely deactivated Blackie’s skill and came out in a friendly manner.

“I hope you are here to congratulate us for passing the test,” he chortled.

Ye Tong nearly couldn’t suppress the urge to beat him up. “I really can’t understand! Why are there so many people optimistic about a scoundrel like you?!” She snorted and said to the soldiers, “Bring them along, Her Majesty wants to see them.”

The soldiers immediately marched toward Bai Xiaofei. “Let’s go. Don’t play any tricks!”

Their attitude toward him wasn’t very friendly. If it weren’t for him, they wouldn’t have to be so exhausted last night. The more important thing was that he caused their dereliction of duty. If the emperor hadn’t told them where Bai Xiaofei was hiding, he could very well have penetrated deeper into the palace, the most sensitive place in the entire country!

Following the soldiers, Bai Xiaofei’s group passed through various passages where they were inspected again and again until they arrived at a huge courtyard. Besides them, there were more than a dozen contestants, among whom Zhu Chunyang was, impressively, present.

Seeing Bai Xiaofei, Zhu Chunyang immediately ran over to him.

“Did you miss me?” Zhu Chunyang whispered ingratiatingly. One could hardly imagine that he was so aggressive behind Bai Xiaofei’s back not long ago.

“You’re not a beautiful woman, why would I? Don’t tell me you got in here through the back door?”

Bai Xiaofei’s careless remark instantly made Zhu Chunyang’s face red to his ears. Clearing his throat, Zhu Chunyang hurriedly changed the subject, “Do you know how those people got in?” He looked at the other contestants of interest with strange eyes, refusing to believe that they had connections like him that allowed them to enter the palace at will.

“Each has their own strengths. I don’t know and I don’t care as long as they don’t interfere with my business.” Although Bai Xiaofei was also curious, he knew that sometimes curiosity was useless. After all, he wasn’t familiar with everyone there.

“Her Majesty has arrived!” a slightly shrill voice suddenly rang out.

Shortly after, a finely dressed woman whose face was covered in a thin veil appeared, surrounded by a group of attendants.

Although her face couldn’t be seen clearly, many men already felt their hearts moved just by looking at her figure.

Very few people had seen her face, but every single one of them praised her beauty to the sky. There was even a rumor that Lin Nishang at her prime still came a little short of the Moonlight emperor.

“Putting aside everything else, her aura alone already outmatches the majority of people,” Zhu Chunyang whispered, his voice full of envy. The nobility in the temperament of the Moonlight emperor was unique and could not be copied as she was the only female monarch on the continent.

“Just talk less and watch more if you want to be like her.” Bai Xiaofei’s eyes didn’t leave the emperor for a moment. Lan Qiushuang only gave him a general direction and therefore he didn’t know who to look for after coming to Moonlight. However, he guessed that his father would have something to do with the royal family.
