Chapter 617: Confronting An Bang Ting! (1/2)
Originally, he thought he’d need to do something to enter such a place, but unexpectedly, the prison was also included in the freely-come-and-go right that An Bang Ting had granted him! Moreover, An Bang Ting seemed to have anticipated that he would go there. He had just stepped into the outer periphery of the prison area when someone had already come up to lead him in.
“Greetings, Master. Although our prison isn’t the most secure on the continent, there hasn’t been an escape in 20 years. As long as there is a path, the numerous bright and dark mechanisms on them will assuredly detain even Master Rank puppet masters!” The ingratiating warden introduced everything about the prison, afraid to miss any details. An Bang Ting’s order to him had only two words: utmost courtesy.
Therefore, Bai Xiaofei was already the god of wealth and the ladder to the sky in the warden’s eyes.
“I heard that the two Teachers of the Nation who replied to the imperial announcement a while ago are also locked up here?” asked Bai Xiaofei without any qualms. He wanted to see what kind of reaction his directness could get from the warden.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed.
“Of course! Those two are repeat offenders! But they are also very tight-lipped, they haven’t confessed who is behind them until now…” the warden suddenly stopped halfway through his words with a hint of panic on his face. “Master, I cannot say more. If you really want to know, please go to my superiors…”
The warden had already taken the initiative to explain before Bai Xiaofei could ask why. Indeed, Bai Xiaofei found it hard to trouble him after this.
“I see. Take me to see them.” Bai Xiaofei frowned a little. Even now, he was still skeptical about the arrest of two Teachers of the Nation.
However, his doubt was quickly dispelled…
He got to see the two people in question, and their state made him believe completely that they were held there as prisoners. There wasn’t an unbruised spot on their bodies and their breathing was so faint that it seemed like it could stop any moment. If it weren’t for the energy fluctuations they emitted, Bai Xiaofei wouldn’t even believe that the two blood gourds in front of him used to be two Master Rank puppet masters.
“We’ve used all torture methods there are, but for some reason, they refuse to say anything,” said the warden.
Bai Xiaofei sighed. He initially planned to talk to these two ‘Teachers of the Nations,’ but as far as the situation was concerned, let alone communicate, it was already a miracle that they could still breathe.
In the end, Bai Xiaofei went on a tour around the whole prison with the warden as his guide, and then left the place with pity.
Do I really have to go to An Bang Ting?!
If I don’t, I’ll forever be clueless; if I do, I’m likely to fall into a new quagmire.
After a long struggle, Bai Xiaofei made his decision. Compared with falling into a new predicament, stopping here felt even worse and was the last thing that he could accept!
