Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1210 - 707: On the Eve of Battle

Sui Yi’s fingertip brushed across the tip of the reeds, and the light reed flowers fluttered up, misty and white, soft and floating.

"That Demon Master is a Great Grandmaster, and I am not yet confident. I don’t know how strong his army is, so you must be prepared."

Sui Yi’s words were quickly conveyed by Hong Fu to Fang Xuanling and the others.

A deathly silence fell over them.

The enemy was powerful enough to terrify them. In the past, Tiance Mansion had thought that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were useless, but now it seemed they had far surpassed Tiance Mansion in crooked ways.

If it weren’t for Sui Yi, they would have long been trapped with no way out.

"Not to mention that most of our Tiance Mansion members are undercover in Changan; even if they all came here, it might be to no avail. The only ones with considerable strength here are Hong Fu, and Li Jing might arrive in two days, but we’re still short on people."

Fang Xuanling and the others are mentally exceptional, but their martial prowess is truly lacking...

"Aren’t I another one?" said Lady Fang.

Fang Xuanling hurriedly replied, "You, my lady?"

Lady Fang: "Nonsense, it’s me. Don’t I always beat you until you can’t get up..."

Well, there’s no need to say such things in front of so many people, right?

The couple’s conversation somewhat lightened the somber mood among the crowd.

At worst, it’s just death.

After all, if Li Shimin were to die, they would have to pledge allegiance to Li Jiancheng, which would also spell death, and pledging to Li Jiancheng, with his narrow-mindedness, would still mean death. Didn’t you see what happened to Wui Zheng?

Besides, they didn’t want to pledge allegiance.

"Actually, it’s not necessary to be so pessimistic. Not mentioning Mr. Sui, even Miss Shi is a major Master. The only concern is whether two fists can fend off four hands and whether we can protect the Second Young Master from those who mean him harm...."

Li Shimin was still under treatment and couldn’t be disturbed at all.

They could only leave it to fate.

Hou Xibai vaguely knew what was going on, his face showing some worry and hesitation....

As if understanding his concerns, Shi Feixuan led him to the lakeside.

At the lakeside, Hou Xibai smiled wryly, "I’m afraid I can’t extricate myself to come and help this time... things at The Gate...."

He didn’t explain, but Shi Feixuan roughly knew there was something important with the Flower Sect.

Still unsettled after several days?

Shi Feixuan said nothing, because although she had a rapport with Hou Xibai, it was too much to inquire into the internal affairs of the Demon Sect through this.

"I know... you don’t need to worry about this matter; Mr. Sui and I can handle it.."

Shi Feixuan’s words came naturally, but Hou Xibai felt something was amiss, such as...

"Feixuan seems to enjoy spending time with Mr. Sui," his words were straightforward, no beating around the bush, purely from a chatting perspective as friends, this statement was unobjectionable.

Yet it caused Shi Feixuan to pause, then laugh: "I think many people are like me."

A bit evasive.

Hou Xibai chuckled, "Indeed, Mr. Sui is the most..." He struggled to describe it for a moment, then simply said, "special. She is very special, different from many people we’ve encountered, definitely a friend worth making, and it’s rare for her to consider someone a friend and get close."

This statement made Shi Feixuan tilt her head, her expression somewhat peculiar, ’close’?

Constantly teasing her under the guise of playfulness, is that closeness?

Perhaps Shi Feixuan’s expression and silence were too indicative, causing Hou Xibai’s imagination to run wild, making his heart tremble!

Could it be that she’s moved? Does she know? Is she sad?

He hesitated momentarily before biting the bullet, saying, "Feixuan, I have some words for you, and I hope you won’t blame me for overstepping."

This serious? Could it concern the fate of the world or major Sect affairs?

Is there a major move by the Demon Sect?

Shi Feixuan also became solemn at once, "Please go ahead, Brother Hou."

Indeed, Feixuan still cares.

Hou Xibai truly didn’t know what he was feeling inside, taking a deep breath, he said, "Mr. Sui... is indeed an exceptionally outstanding person and a truly good person... Although she did take a girl that one night, it must have been to rescue her or for some other reason... Feixuan, you really don’t have to worry, you should know Mr. Sui is not one to indulge in... those affairs."

Alright, Shi Feixuan was baffled by this statement, yet vaguely caught the main points.

That night, the girl~

Her eyes closed gently, suddenly remembering Wanwan’s words... so, Mr. Sui really... has a special someone?

"That night..." Once Shi Feixuan calmed down, her already high intelligence began to surge, and casually mentioning three words, she quickly shifted Hou Xibai’s focus to what Shi Feixuan was concerned about.
