Chapter 609: The Tree Wants Peace but the Wind won’t Stop! (1/2)
“Masters, His Majesty the Emperor wishes to meet with you.” The royal guard commander stepped forward. His commanding tone wasn’t anything like an invitation at all.
“What did you say just now? No one would dare to make trouble in the Puppet Master Alliance?” Bai Xiaofei actually turned to ridicule Leng Liuying.
“They didn’t go in, they’re just blocking us outside!” Leng Liuying flushed red in her final struggle of a retort.
Bai Xiaofei turned back to the commander. “I suppose Commander is the leader of the royal guards? We are but humble travelers passing by. Why would your emperor want to see us?” he said, neither servile nor overbearing, but anger was seeping out of his icy stare.
However, the commander didn’t reach his position for nothing. If a look could scare him away, the person standing there wouldn’t be him.
“I’m just a small general. How dare I guess His Majesty’s thoughts? I only follow orders. I hope you don’t make it hard on me, Master.” The commander cupped his hands. The royal guards around immediately got into a fighting stance.
Seeing this, Bai Xiaofei snorted. As far as this group of puny local troops was concerned, it would take him less than three minutes to take them all down. However, he knew it was meaningless to do so.
“Fine, then. But you should know this idiom, Commander.” Sneering, Bai Xiaofei took off his long turban, revealing the shiny Starnet Brilliance on his chest.
“If you have anything you want to say, Master, please say it. Your words will be delivered as fast as possible,” saying this, the commander’s mouth kept twitching. The guards at the city gate had only told him that a Grandmaster Rank puppet master had entered the city, but not anything about this person coming from Starnet. And how many people had a Starnet Brilliance in this continent?
“It’s easier to invite a devil than to send him away!” With another snort, Bai Xiaofei crossed his hands behind his back and walked out the entrance. Huskie and Blackie simultaneously roared at the commander.
“This way, please!” The commander bit the bullet and gestured as a chill ran down his spine. I’m afraid His Majesty has really made the wrong decision this time…
Following the commander, the four walked straight into the royal grounds unimpeded. Bai Xiaofei once again got to witness the grandeur of a royal house. No matter how small a country was, its imperial palace would never fall behind others. Perhaps this was the face of an emperor.
“His Majesty has set up a banquet. Please go in and rest first while I go and report. His Majesty will personally welcome you.”
“Lil Bastard, what do you think this emperor guy is up to?” Leng Liuying was always the least likely to curb her curiosity and the laziest to think.
“If I say I have no idea either, will you believe me?” Bai Xiaofei smiled bitterly. He was telling the truth. This invitation was so abrupt that there was no information to speculate. If Revelation was here, maybe he could have divined something, but Bai Xiaofei had no other choice but to wait.
“No matter what, we’d better be careful. After all, we are under another’s roof,” Leng Liuli advised in a low voice. As the big sister, she always prioritized the safety of her two sisters and had gradually developed a cautious character.
And being cautious was never the wrong thing to do.
“It’ll all work out. I don’t believe that this little Tranquil Kingdom can keep us four.” Bai Xiaofei stroked Huskie’s head. Through spiritual communication, the puppet snuck out when no one paid attention. Then, Bai Xiaofei injected origin energy into Blackie and after a little, the cat’s body twisted and vanished.
After finishing everything, Bai Xiaofei picked up the wine glass in front of him and savored it. Tranquil’s Zen Wine was soft with an underlying taste, which was well suited for this kind of atmosphere.
