Yan Jiuchao took a sip of tea. âEven my new wife has never been to my courtyard. Other than Bai Xiaosheng, who else can come here?â
Bai Xiaosheng grinned. âYou always talk about the Princely Heir Consort. It seems that the Princely Heir and the Princely Heir Consort have an extremely good relationship.â
Yan Jiuchao gave Shadow Thirteen a look, and Shadow Thirteen went to the kitchen to bring out a basket of red eggs.
Bai Xiaosheng looked at the red egg in front of him and the corners of his mouth twitched. âThereâs no need to be so goodâ¦â
Shadow Thirteen said coldly, âItâs a reward from the Princely Heir. Arenât you going to thank him?â
âSigh.â Bai Xiaosheng sighed helplessly and grabbed three red eggs.
âYou can only take two,â Yan Jiuchao said.
Bai Xiaosheng silently put one back and put the remaining two red eggs into his sleeve.
Bai Xiaosheng walked towards Yan Jiuchao, but Shadow Thirteen blocked his path. Yan Jiuchao gestured with his hand, and Shadow Thirteen moved aside. Bai Xiaosheng walked to the stone steps, took off his shoes, and stepped on the spotless floor in his white clothes. He took off the cushion under the little snow fox and sat opposite Yan Jiuchao.
The little snow fox, whose cushion had been whipped, glared resentfully at this rude man. It ran over and used its claws to pull its cushion.
Yan Jiuchao filled a cup of tea for himself and ignored Bai Xiaosheng. âDid you ask me to spare his life because of the person inside?â
Bai Xiaosheng was not embarrassed to be ignored. He took a cup and poured himself a cup of tea. He took a sip and was speechless with bitterness. âArenât you going to sleep after drinking such strong tea in the middle of the night?â
âIâm asking you a question,â Yan Jiuchao said.
Bai Xiaosheng took a piece of osmanthus cake and ate two mouthfuls to suppress the taste of the strong tea before slowly saying, âThatâs right, Iâm here for him.â
Yan Jiuchao mocked, âThe Know-it-all of the pugilistic world is actually related to the people of Nanzhao. Itâs an eye-opener for me.â
Bai Xiaosheng spread his hands helplessly. âNot really. Itâs just that I once owed his master a favor. I canât watch him die in your hands.â
Yan Jiuchao glanced at him. âThen you should know that my favor is not easy to sell.â
Bai Xiaosheng smiled. âOf course. I wonât ask you to return him to me for nothing. If you have any requests, feel free to ask. Iâll do my best.â
âOh?â Yan Jiuchao raised his eyebrows. âOther than asking for information, do you have other abilities?â
Bai Xiaosheng touched his chin. âNo, so you can ask whatever you want to know.â
Yan Jiuchao snorted. âThis life canât be exchanged with just a piece of news. Bai Xiaosheng, are you planning to break the rules youâve set in the pugilistic world for this person?â
Bai Xiaosheng had always only sold one piece of information to one person, and this person would never have a second chance to buy information from Bai Xiaosheng.
Bai Xiaosheng said gloomily, âSigh, who asked me to owe his master?â
Yan Jiuchao looked at him suspiciously. âIâm a little curious why you owe his master.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI thought you would be curious about who his master is,â Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.
âYou wonât tell me,â Yan Jiuchao said indifferently.
Bai Xiaosheng nodded. âThatâs right. I canât tell you that.â
Bai Xiaosheng smiled. âThe rumors canât be trusted. Princely Heir Yan, an extremely intelligent person, is definitely not the little trash that the world says. Then, Princely Heir, what do you want to know?â
Yan Jiuchao picked up the teapot with his slender fingers and poured a cup of tea for Bai Xiaosheng. âThe Prince Consort of Nanzhao.â
Bai Xiaosheng stopped eating his snacks. The entire courtyard seemed to have quietened down. The servants had long returned to their rooms to rest, leaving only Shadow Six and Shadow Thirteen in the courtyard.
âSigh.â Bai Xiaosheng sighed softly and put down the snacks in his hand. âHow good would it be if you could exchange Xiao Zhentingâs armor for it?â
Yan Jiuchao said bluntly, âHelian Qi has already been defeated. The armor is already in my bag. Are you sending a beggar away by using this to make a deal with me?â
âForgive me for being blunt, but why are you asking about the Prince Consort of Nanzhao?â Bai Xiaosheng opened the folding fan in his hand. The little fox was tired from pulling the cushion and sat on the ground, panting heavily. Bai Xiaosheng very considerately fanned it.
Yan Jiuchao said coldly, âYouâre the one begging me to make a deal tonight. Youâre not qualified to ask questions.â
Bai Xiaosheng laughed self-deprecatingly. âI once heard of an interesting thing. Back then, His Majesty was avenged by his enemies. His enemies couldnât deal with the Emperor in the palace, so they kidnapped Prince Yan. Prince Yan didnât want them to use him to threaten his brother, so in a moment of desperation, he bumped into his enemyâs sword. By the time His Majesty arrived, Prince Yanâs corpse was already cold. However, whatâs interesting is that a servant who changed Prince Yanâs burial clothes found sand in Prince Yanâs mouth and nose. Only drowned people would inhale sand. Prince Yan was stabbed to death by a sword. Logically speaking, there shouldnât be such a thing. What does Princely Heir Yan think?â
