Shao Zun was very unhappy. “Prince Zi didn’t even consider me. He was still knocking on my door not long ago about working together.”
Gu Bailu snorted. “Shut up. Don’t flirt with my husband.”
Feng Qingtian took a sip of wine and said, “Idiot.”
Gu Bailu chuckled in his arms. “We don’t play with idiots.”
Shao Zun slapped the table and stood up. “Good, very good. Since you won’t have me, I’ll make you regret it. Brother Xiao, let’s team up.”
Gu Bailu sneered in her heart. Who are you trying to fool? The two of you are in cahoots to begin with.
“I’m scared.” Gu Bailu shivered in Feng Qingtian’s arms.
Shao Zun lifted his chin. “Even if you pretend to be weak, I won’t go easy on you. If you lose, I’ll make you cry.”
Feng Qingtian threw his wine glass at him. “Shut up and fight.”
Gu Bailu was kind enough to play the part with Shao Zun, but Prince Zi wasn’t.
Xiao Jingyun burst out laughing. “Shao Zun, don’t you want your beauty to play with you?”
Su Shenfan tilted his head and looked at Bu Yaolian, and he really did ask her, “Are you playing or not?”
Bu Yaolian declared shamelessly, “Play!”
Su Shenfan’s eyes almost popped out. “You don’t even have spiritual power, where did you get the courage to participate? Go to one side and don’t drag me down. This brother will buy you candy if I win.”
Bu Yaolian pouted. “I want to play too.”
She wanted to take part precisely to drag down Su Shenfan and the emperor; she was afraid that Prince Zi and his wife would have a hard time.
If she took a spot, it was the same as saying that only four people on their side would be taking part in the battle.
She hadn’t held out much hope at first, but Su Shenfan had come over to ask.
She was an honest child, so of course she had to tell him what she really thought.
“You can play if you want. If you make us lose, I will give you to Brother Xiao to fill his harem.” Su Shenfan’s lips were curled in a smile, but the corners of his mouth had a ruthless tilt to them.
How could he not tell what Bu Yaolian was thinking?
This woman was so f*cking heartless. I treat her so well, yet she still dares help outsiders.
Bu Yaolian shook her head. “Then I won’t play.”
She had yet to achieve her goal, so she didn’t want to leave Su Shenfan.
The thought of leaving him made her very unhappy.
But she also knew that she would have to leave one day. Su Shenfan didn’t like her at all. He could give her away with just one sentence and didn’t treat her as his at all.
Although she wanted to help Lulu and the others, she absolutely wouldn’t do anything to harm him.
But he… could really kill her whenever he wanted.
Su Shenfan patted her cheek gently. “Good girl.”
Gu Bailu lost her patience. “Is your team done or not?”
They were clearly scheming together against the two of them. Just be straightforward, why did they have to go through all these twists and turns? Who was the one who didn’t have a brain?
Xiao Jingyun called up a few experts around him and formed a team with Shao Zun.
Bu Yaolian looked at Gu Bailu apologetically. Gu Bailu happened to look in her direction, and gave her a reassuring smile.
Feng Qingtian helped Gu Bailu up. Behind them were Ye Ying, Ye Qi, and Ye Ba.
The other team consisted of Shao Zun, the emperor of Rising Clouds, his imperial concubine, the empress, and the head of the imperial guards.
Tsk, this configuration was pretty slick.
Gu Bailu said to Ye Ying, Ye Qi, and Ye Ba in a low voice, “Later, do as I tell you, and coordinate with my movements. We must work together in this five-man battle. I’ll lead.”
