Chapter 230: 230: Prepare a Plan
However, there were still many people above Xiao Yuwei, holding her down.
Xiao Wuwei, the third prince, was one of them. Whether it was his current status or strength, neither could Xiao Yuwei match.
Just as Xiao Yuwei received the news, a loud voice came from the side.
“Seventeenth sister, why did you just get here?”
Xiao Wuwei approached, wearing a false smile on his face: “This time, father has high hopes for you.”
“Third brother, you overpraise. Compared to you, my strength is insignificant.”
“Why so humble, Seventeenth Sister? The truth is as it is. Are you still trying to be modest with me at this time?”
Laughing, Xiao Wuwei strode forward, standing directly in front of Xiao Yuwei, watching her condescendingly. His face instantly turned an iron-blue shade.
“Don’t think I don’t know you’ve sought help, and even had Baihe find it for you. But if you think this will enable you to win over me, you’re truly dreaming.”
Xiao Wuwei sneered, “You think you’re the only one who prepared? There are many heirs in the dynasty, and not all of them are as wise as you.”
“Thanks for reminding me, third brother. However, I think you’re overly concerned. I didn’t come here intending to compete with you.” Xiao Yuwei laughed.
The iron-blue on Xiao Wuwei’s face intensified. He merely glanced at Xiao Yuwei, then resumed his previous smile and walked away.
As she watched Xiao Wuwei’s retreating figure, Xiao Yuwei’s fists tightened.
“Mr. Jiang, you must be very careful of my third brother when the time comes.
If you fail and he discovers it, you’ll have no choice but to die.”
Appearing to vent her anger on Jiang Xiaobai, Xiao Yuwei sneered at him: “Also, if you encounter my third brother, it’d be best if you just run away. He holds quite a grudge against you.” Jiang Xiaobai:
When did he offend Xiao Wuwei?
Of which he was not aware?
“Did you hear me?” Xiao Yuwei furrowed her brows and reprimanded coldly.
Only then did Jiang Xiaobai nod: “I heard. However, it’s just a third prince. Majesty, all you have to do is tell me how you want him dead, and I will make it so.”
“He’s already attained the basic level of Dividing the gods. Are you sure you can kill him?” Xiao Yuwei said, half in jest.
Coughing dryly, Jiang Xiaobai commented, “Cough, cough, the weather is nice today. Entering Mad Demon Secret Land in the evening should be advantageous.”
Sneering, Xiao Yuwei glanced at Jiang Xiaobai then fell silent. Led by an elder from Wuhai Academy, they ascended a turret in the area.
The three sat at the edge of the turret. Not far away were the men in the service of the third prince, Xiao Wuwei. The two groups exchanged glances but no conflict ensued.
Now, all they had to do was wait. When the time came, everyone would set off from Wuhai Academy for the Mad Demon Valley.
There, a chaotic battle would break out.
Xiao Yuwei had a grave expression, her eyes lost somewhere outside the turret, deep in thought.
On the other hand, Jiang Xiaobai and AnRan appeared carefree. With nothing to do, they brought out the delicacies they’d ‘borrowed’ from the mansion and began to feast.
Drinking wine and eating fresh sashimi, Jiang Xiaobai admired the delicious flavor, his gaze drifting.
Although there was a large crowd in the area at the moment, those belonging to one of the four sects or five mountains stood out, much like a crane in a flock of chickens.
Because they all were wearing attire specific to their factions.
Sword Sea Sect, Silver Moon Sect, Purple Garden Mountain, Jade Top Mountain…
All had come. However, Jiang Xiaobai only recognized those four. He took a perfunctory glance and then focused on the group from Jade Top Mountain.
Within the rest area of Jade Top Mountain, a slender figure in an ink-colored robe stood on the eaves. Just from her silhouette, it was clear that she was an extraordinarily beautiful woman.
Her figure, good grief, was mouth-watering.
“Boss, be careful with this woman. She’s the saintess of Jade Top Mountain.”
AnRan followed Jiang Xiaobai’s gaze and saw the back of Zhuang Huanling: “This person is Zhuang Huanling. She’s very strong, a mid-stage Dividing the gods. Although she usually appears cold, she’s quite the witch.”
“Anyone targeted by her ended up in a bad situation. They were all played so severely that they nearly died.”
Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes brightened: “Oh, so, does that mean Jade Top Mountain is a dual-cultivation Sect?”
“Dual-cultivation, my ass!”
Xiao Yuwei, who was sitting nearby, couldn’t hold back and berated him: “Zhuang Huanling is not to be messed with. She has a complex background, not as simple as being the saintess of Jade Top Mountain.”
“You don’t have to worry about that. Although I, Mr. Jiang, am unrestrained and love freedom, I know my limits. I won’t provoke those I shouldn’t.”
Jiang Xiaobai pounded his chest as he declared.
Then, Xiao Yuwei gave him a sidelong glance: “So in your eyes, our Thousand Yuan Dynasty is fair game?”
“Suppose so.” Jiang Xiaobai took a sip of wine.
“Hmph, it’s just that my dynasty doesn’t want to bother with you. You think with your tricks you’ll be able to hide forever?”
Xiao Yuwei sneered, “Don’t forget Baihe. Our dynasty has countless people like him.”
“Oh, how impressive. If you really had the ability, I would have been dead long ago. Would it have been my turn to sit here?” Jiang Xiaobai retorted in a derisive tone.
He was joking. He couldn’t forcefully confront Xiao Yuwei right now. However, he wouldn’t show mercy when it came to getting the upper hand in verbal exchanges.
Xiao Yuwei was so furious she wanted to kill someone. After giving Jiang Xiaobai a fierce look, she closed her eyes to rest.
Jiang Xiaobai relaxed, stood up, and carrying a jug of wine, walked out onto the veranda to observe the situation outside.
He and AnRan had already changed their appearance. They hadn’t overdone the makeup, so no one could tell. Even Xiao Yuwei was amazed when she saw them after the disguise.
So, Jiang Xiaobai was now very puzzled. How did Baihe know his true identity back then?
“Boss, what are you thinking about?”
AnRan stepped forward, then in a secretive whisper, asked, “You’re not considering how to escape, are you?”
“Nonsense, of course, I’m going to escape. Not only that, but with my temper, this little girl won’t end up any better, either.”
Jiang Xiaobai snorted coldly, then he saw the crowd stir up in the distance. They surrounded a group of people who slowly approached their turret.
“Fatty, you seem to know a lot about these people. Now’s a good time to tell me about them so I can prepare and plan.”
As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes..
