Chapter 1010: Bai Xiaofei’s Decision!

“Boss, it’s been three days. Our range of activity has become very limited. If this continues, we’ll have no place to hide.”

In a dark warehouse, Zhuang Shuo was reporting the situation with a serious expression. Bai Xiaofei listened carefully, and his response greatly surprised Zhuang Shuo.

“Don’t worry, I will definitely get you guys out of here,” he said with a smile. No sign of anxiety could be seen on his face at all.

“Boss, you already have a plan?” Zhuang Shuo was delighted.

“Do you think your boss would make empty promises? If I can’t even handle such a small matter, why would I bring you guys out in the first place?” Bai Xiaofei patted his shoulder, then got up and walked outside. “Xin’er, come here. I need to discuss something with you. The rest of you wait here.”

Hearing this, Tan Xin immediately came over. She was as nervous as everyone else about their current situation.

“Do you really have a plan? But you said you never expected this situation…” she asked while following him.

Bai Xiaofei turned around to look at her. The moment Tan Xin saw his face, she swallowed all of her questions. She had never, ever seen him this serious!

“What I’m going to tell you now, keep it to yourself only. And, you are not allowed to object!” he said solemnly.

Tan Xin was dumbstruck, but Bai Xiaofei didn’t give her time to respond.

“You’re right. I really didn’t think of this situation. According to my calculations, the Moonlight army should have already done what I asked of Ye Qingtong. From our situation, it’s obvious that the Sacks are insisting on keeping us imprisoned here despite the pressure, and we have no external force to rely on.” He took a deep breath and smiled weakly. “People fear being famous like pigs fear being fat indeed. I haven’t even announced my real name yet but have already received such ‘warm’ attention. The old Heavens must have something against me.”

Pausing a little, he shook his head and repeated, “We only have ourselves to rely on now. Since we’re running out of time, you have to do as I say!”

Being stared at intently by Bai Xiaofei, Tan Xin suddenly had a bad feeling. However, she knew that whatever he said next, she could not refuse.

……

“Reporting to Saintess, the search is complete, and this warehouse area is their last possible refuge. Unless they can bypass the protective formation and earthwalk, they can’t escape!”

The Sacks troops had tightly surrounded the last warehouse area and their archers were ready to shoot their arrows. Although they knew that the opponent only had a few hundred people, no one dared to take it lightly!

“Give me three minutes,” said the Saintess before she walked toward the warehouse area alone. “I know you’re in there. If you don’t want your people to die, surrender.”

As her voice echoed, the surroundings fell into a long silence, until the door of one of the warehouses slowly opened.

“Archers ready!” ordered a Sacks commander nervously.

The arrows immediately pointed toward that door. However, the order to fire was never said after, because only one person walked out.

“If you want me, then congratulations, you’ve succeeded. If you want my army, then I’m sorry, they have already left,” declared Bai Xiaofei.

The Sacks soldiers were astonished to hear this. Left? How?! When?!!

Suddenly, there were sounds of fighting coming from the east of the fortress.

“Do not move!” shouted the Saintess just as the Sacks soldiers wanted to go to aid, stopping them at once.

Bai Xiaofei smiled. “You are really careful!” he commented.

The Saintess laughed. “You’re nothing to be afraid of when you’re standing here, but that may not be the case when you’re forced to despair. I don’t care if your people escape. Besides, the east is not their real escape route, is it? If my troops go there, it’ll be a vain trip and we’ll even lose you, am I right?”

Sure enough, before long, sounds of fighting echoed from the north of the fortress, and unlike just now, it ended abnormally fast.

“Alright, since I’ve achieved everything I need…” said Bai Xiaofei as he unsheathed Mind Sunder and pointed it at the Saintess.
