Chapter 972: You Stay!

Bai Xiaofei then turned to the emperor, his eyes burning with fighting spirit. “I, Fickle Bai, am willing to go to the border!”

Zhu Chunyang immediately followed suit. “I, Zhu Chunyang, am willing to go to the border!”

Then, the whole courtyard fell into several seconds of silence…

Until Zhuang Shuo gritted his teeth and stepped forward. “Boss, I’ll leave my life in your hands! I, Zhuang Shuo, am willing to go to the border!”

With Zhuang Shuo taking the lead, many wavering hearts were hit by an urge to follow. One by one, they started to say what the emperor wanted to hear most. In just a few minutes, all the muscular men made a seemingly crazy decision.

Bai Xiaofei felt his nose tingle. While this was his wish and his plan, the feeling of having so many people entrusting their lives to him was just indescribable. At this moment, what they believed in was not Moonlight, not their high-above emperor, but him, Bai Xiaofei!

Meanwhile, the rest of the contestants weren’t so impulsive. They only made their choice after careful consideration.

And not everyone was scared, they all had their own thoughts. If Bai Xiaofei weren’t here, they might have chosen to go to the border, but now that he had taken the lead, they would at best be a green leaf to the rose if they made the same choice, which wasn’t what they wanted.

Those who chose to leave were soon escorted out by the soldiers, while Bai Xiaofei’s group was looking at the emperor with resolute eyes.

“Your Majesty, we have already made our choice. What do we need to do next?” Bai Xiaofei asked, having become the leader of the remaining contestants.

“I just need you to keep your spirits up. Tomorrow, I will give you a pleasant surprise,” said the emperor as she stared intently as if wanting to dig something out of him. “Tong Tong, arrange a place to rest for them.”

The emperor turned around before leaving another sentence.

“Fickle Bai, you stay. I wish to talk to you in private.”

With that, she disappeared from the yard with her attendants, leaving the contestants gaping in shock.

“Oh heavens! Boss! You are formidable! You’re gonna be the imperial husband!” Zhuang Shuo couldn’t resist yelling out.

The rest of the group also surrounded Bai Xiaofei and began to talk nonsense out of excitement. In their view, Bai Xiaofei getting a great reward meant theirs wouldn’t be bad either, which had been proved by his actions before. He had no habit of leaving his own people behind.

“Be quiet. There are still other people here!” Bai Xiaofei scolded and glanced at Ye Tong, only to see her staring at him as if wanting to eat him alive.

“I tell you, my sister absolutely won’t like you! You are not allowed to have any far-fetched ideas about her!” Ye Tong said coldly. However, she was inwardly panicking.

“I can’t say for sure. You’d better be ready to call me brother-in-law. I’m just too attractive to women!” Bai Xiaofei taunted and burst out laughing. Ignoring Ye Tong, who was stomping her foot in fury, he walked in the direction that the emperor had left.

“What are you looking at?! Look again and I’ll gouge your eyes out!” Ye Tong vented her anger on Zhuang Shuo’s group, who she deemed to be birds of a feather with Bai Xiaofei.
