Chapter 1001 - Bet? (1/2)

Chapter 1001: Bet?

Half a month flew by as the men learned under the ‘intimate’ guidance of Bai Xiaofei. No, wait… It flew by for Bai Xiaofei, but for Zhuang Shuo’s group, every second felt like an eternity. Their boss showed them what hell and a devil looked like. Therefore, after the special training officially ended, the 600-odd men celebrated for a whole night!

Bai Xiaofei was probably the only person in the whole Moonlight Empire who dared to ‘torture’ six hundred people with status. And, unlike his men, he did not get a celebration banquet, but a summons from Qingcheng.

As soon as Bai Xiaofei entered Ye Qingcheng’s room, she pointed to a thick stack of court reports with a look of ‘I just want to die.’

“Look at this. If you didn’t return, I would have to have these delivered to you.”

Laughing awkwardly, Bai Xiaofei walked to the stack of scrolls and opened several of them, clicking his tongue as he read.

“Unbelievable, so many people have been paying attention to us when we were at such a remote place. Looks like we’re getting famous,” he commented with pride in his voice, successfully making Ye Qingcheng angry.

“You’re still laughing?! If I hadn’t been shouldering all the pressure, over a dozen generals would have gone to find you for disappearing with the best military resources for half a month! Do you know how many people want to take this opportunity to trample you into the mud?!” Ye Qingcheng said icily.

Bai Xiaofei immediately donned an ingratiating smile. “Aren’t I back now? Just leave the rest to me.” He patted his chest and hurriedly changed the subject, “What’s the situation now? Has there been any reaction from the Sacks?”

As Bai Xiaofei became serious, Ye Qingcheng’s anger also calmed down.

“So far, they have done nothing except for a small-scale test, so the progress on our side has been quite smooth. At present, there are only six routes connecting the Sacks to us, the rest have been sealed off. All troops from the fortresses at the rear have been mobilized to expand control over all areas in the direction of the enemy,” she informed him in detail.

Bai Xiaofei nodded. It was obvious from her arrangements that she understood his advice quite deeply.

“If I’m not wrong, you’ve encountered some obstacles,” he suddenly said.

Then, he saw Ye Qingcheng freeze with a troubled expression, which made him laugh.

“Yes, after the Sacks discovered our actions, they quickly responded. Along the only way we will have to go through, they built several temporary bases. Although we haven’t made contact with them yet, we can’t avoid them forever.” Ye Qingcheng rubbed her temples as she mentioned the matter that had been bothering her the past several days. Compared to this, the denunciation from the generals toward Bai Xiaofei could only be regarded as a trifle.

“Right! Those who want to seek me for trouble are all at Divine Light right now, aren’t they?”

Just when Ye Qingcheng thought that Bai Xiaofei would help her think of a solution, he returned to the previous topic. It was so sudden that she was stunned for a while.

“What do you mean?” She stared at him with a frown.

“Isn’t it obvious? At present, only these two things are troubling you, so why not handle them together?” Bai Xiaofei looked at Ye Qingcheng with pity in his eyes.

The look made Ye Qingcheng want to bite Bai Xiaofei to death, but she had no excuse. Who else could she blame for not thinking of this?

But you could just have said it directly!

“Half a month no see and your audacity took a whole leap. You’ve recovered well from your mental trauma, huh?” Not knowing how else she could get even, she brought up an old matter. Don’t forget that I guided you out of it! You better watch your attitude!

Unfortunately, she didn’t know much about Bai Xiaofei, who was notorious for burning bridges…

“When was that? How can an optimistic person like me suffer from mental trauma? I’m afraid you’re mistaken. As for what you said about ‘audacity,’ it’s confidence, alright? It’s audacity when talking nonsense without knowledge, while having confidence is when one has real talent and knowledge!” Bai Xiaofei said with a straight face.

Hearing this, Ye Qingcheng’s expression sank. “Fine, then let’s see where your confidence comes from. I’ll give you a week. If you can’t solve both of these problems in a week, I will ‘unman’ you!” Her lips curled up into a dark sneer, clearly already considering who to find to operate on Bai Xiaofei’s ‘little man.’

“One week is enough, just wait for my good news,” declared Bai Xiaofei as he walked to her table.

As the distance between them decreased, Ye Qingcheng instinctively widened her eyes and gulped.

“What… what are you doing?!” she questioned.

With a wide smile, Bai Xiaofei grabbed the bowl of fruits on the table and put it into his storage ring.

“It’s a waste to leave these Crystal’s Longings uneaten. Since I’ve always done a great job at sharing Your Majesty’s worries, of course I also have to solve this problem for you. No need to thank me, I’ll be seeing myself out now!”

With that, he speedily fled from the room.
