Chapter 438: Meeting Fang Lei Again; the Purpose of the Thunderstorm Bandits! (1/2)

As Tang Bing’s new identity was gradually accepted by the people, the preparation for the enthronement ceremony was in full swing.

When the preparation entered its final stage, Tang Bing released an announcement.

On the day of his accession to the throne, he would use a grade-nine pill – the Skypatch Pill, which would not only let him advance in power but also mark a good beginning, to show his determination to lead Ancient Yue to a new peak.

The whole imperial city was shaken. Not at Tang Bing’s plan, but at the legendary grade-nine pill!

However, Bai Xiaofei read between the lines and understood Tang Bing’s intent. The guy had no intention of letting the Thunderstorm Bandits off. He released this bait to lure them into showing up!

This gave Bai Xiaofei some expectations. Since the well-prepared Tang Bing would definitely turn the ceremony into a huge quagmire, barging into it was simply unrealistic and the only result would be death. Therefore, if there was no surprise, the Thunderstorm Bandits would definitely ask for help.

And looking around, Bai Xiaofei was the only one who could help them!

In other words, he now had the opportunity to confront as well as explain to the Thunderstorm Bandits. In fact, Bai Xiaofei couldn’t care less about them. After all, they could only be regarded as enemies. However, the existence of Nie Qing forced him to give them some consideration.

To thoroughly hurt a woman was something he couldn’t live with. This might be Bai Xiaofei’s only weakness…

Sure enough, in the end, Bai Xiaofei’s expectation wasn’t wrong. On the night before the upcoming ceremony, Bai Xiaofei saw the person he wanted to see – Fang Lei.

Unlike before, Fang Lei hadn’t come to fight this time, even though his eyes towards Bai Xiaofei were still full of hostility…

“You knew I would come?” Looking at a smiling Bai Xiaofei, Fang Lei’s brow furrowed. The feeling of being seen through irritated him.

“I didn’t know, I only hoped for it. I have been looking forward to this day a very long time.” Immediately realizing Fang Lei’s thought, Bai Xiaofei subtly gave him an out from the embarrassing situation. This successfully made Fang Lei relax a little.

Creating a harmonious environment would greatly affect how far the dialogue could get.

“Looking forward? What is there to look forward to from us, a group of bandits spurned by the world?” Fang Lei coldly snorted. His tone was laced with self-deprecation, yet his face held nothing but disdain.

His disdain was for the ‘world,’ and also for Bai Xiaofei’s act. In Fang Lei’s view, Bai Xiaofei was just faking it.

This time, Fang Lei was startled. He didn’t expect Bai Xiaofei to actually be serious.
