Eunuch Wei: This Servant Goes to His Death (8000)

There are very few people in the world who can disregard the Imperial Palace, and Xu Bai is one of them.

He carried Ye Zi and left without a care in the world, and no one stopped him.

While he was enjoying himself, Eunuch Wei was on his way to the emperor's Imperial Study.

After being summoned by the Chu Emperor, Eunuch Wei arrived at the Imperial Study quickly and without delay, gently knocking on the door.

"Enter."

The voice of the Chu Emperor came from inside the door. Eunuch Wei straightened his clothes, smoothed out the wrinkles, and then pushed open the door and stepped into the room.

He paused for a moment as soon as he stepped inside.

Normally, few people would come to the Chu Emperor's Imperial Study, but at this time it was packed with people, all of whom were high-ranking officials from the capital.

Eunuch Wei glanced around and found that everyone with a name was present.

Prime Minister Wen stood at the front, leading the way, with his hands tucked into his sleeves. Although his expression was unreadable, his hands twitched occasionally, clearly indicating that he was experiencing inner turmoil.

There are nine Entering Sainthood Ninth Grade in the world, and all those below them are in the realm of transcendence.

Among the scholars of the Great Chu Kingdom, Prime Minister Wen was a standout, having already reached the ninth level of the Extraordinary Rank 9 realm, just one step away from becoming a saint.

Although he is slightly inferior to Liu Yue, the Prime Minister of the Great Yue Kingdom, Extraordinary Rank 9 is still considered one of the top combat forces in the world.

The fact that even he seemed so agitated made Eunuch Wei ponder for a moment, as if he had already figured something out.

"Find a place to stand. I'll finish reading this last intelligence report first," the Chu Emperor said, unaware that it was Eunuch Wei had arrived. He then looked down at the letter in his hand again.

There weren't many chairs in the Imperial Study to begin with, and now that His Majesty the Emperor was in front of them, who would dare to sit there?

So everyone was standing, including Eunuch Wei.

He found a spot towards the back and stood there.

In fact, given Eunuch Wei's power, it wouldn't have been a problem for him to stand in front, but he was a man who followed the rules. He was just a eunuch and couldn't stand in front.

The surrounding ministers were all familiar with Eunuch Wei's personality, but none of them let their guard down. They turned slightly to the side so that they did not turn their backs to Eunuch Wei.

Then, the Imperial Study fell silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The Chu Emperor simply looked down at the letter in his hand, his brows furrowed, as if he were deep in thought.

The surrounding ministers dared not utter a sound, waiting in silence.

Half an incense stick's time is neither long nor short, but in this oppressive environment, the ministers felt it passed very slowly.

The Chu Emperor finally put down the letter in his hand, raised his head, leaned back in his chair, and gently tapped the table with his fingers.

"Duo... duo... duo..."

The tapping sound was rhythmic, with a brief pause after each tap.

After a while, the Chu Emperor stopped what he was doing, looked up at the ministers around him, and slowly said four words.

"Great Yue Kingdom... is in chaos."

These four simple words, however, sounded like a muffled thunderclap to everyone, causing their minds to go blank.

Those present exchanged glances, their faces showing excitement.

They were not later subjects, but rather part of the people who followed the Chu Emperor from the very beginning in conquering the land.

It can be said that they are all capable in both literary and martial arts.

These people all had one dream in their lives: to conquer the Great Yue Kingdom and all the Barbarian Tribe.

Now that a place is in chaos, does that mean there's an opportunity?

In fact, in terms of overall strength, although the Great Chu Kingdom was founded the latest, it is currently the strongest.

If it weren't for the current tripartite division of the world, they would have already taken action.

Now that this three-way balance of power has been broken, it's time for them to make their move.

"Your Majesty, is the news reliable?"

As the Prime Minister of the Great Chu Kingdom, Prime Minister Wen was the first to step forward, bow to the Chu Emperor, and ask what everyone present was thinking.

"True." The Chu Emperor uttered a single word.

After a short while, he said another sentence.

"Give me an answer, whether you fight or not."

Although we are discussing a major matter, to put it simply, it's just a matter of one sentence.

"Your Majesty, since you have already made up your mind, then let us proceed according to Your Majesty's wishes," said Prime Minister Wen.

"Beat!"

When he uttered the word, everyone present nodded in unison, and no one objected.

Prime Minister Wen waited a moment and continued, "Great Yue Kingdom is in chaos and can't take care of itself. We should attack the Barbarian Tribe first. If Great Yue Kingdom wants to help, we can counterattack Great Yue Kingdom. If Great Yue Kingdom doesn't help, we can easily defeat the Barbarian Tribe and then swallow Great Yue Kingdom."

"But right now, there's still a major problem: if the Great Yue Kingdom helps the Barbarian Tribe and we launch a counterattack against the Great Yue Kingdom, how will we maneuver?"

Once war breaks out, the movement of troops is not an easy task, so this is a major event.

The Chu Emperor laughed and said, "The Great Yue Kingdom will not help. Now that the Dark Building Shadow Building are completely destroyed, the entire martial arts world of the Great Yue Kingdom is in chaos. If they dare to send troops, internal strife will break out."

That's what they said, but the Chu Emperor didn't explain exactly how the complete internal strife in the Great Yue Kingdom was caused.

But there must be a way, perhaps some kind of scheme to push things along.

"My only concern right now is that if this war breaks out, it will surely be a waste of resources and manpower," the Chu Emperor said. "So I wanted to ask for your opinions, but judging from the current situation, you all support fighting."

If it were the former Chu Emperor, he would have said "fight" and then really fought without any hesitation.

But things are different now. In his current position, he has to consider the entire world, and more importantly, he must prevent the people from suffering.

"Your Majesty, you can go to the Border Pass yourself and see for yourself," said Prime Minister Wen. "Every moment, people from various places are being arrested. Some are our people being arrested by them, and some are their people being arrested by us."

"Our people suffer humiliation at their hands, while we strictly abide by the law. If this continues, how can the world be at peace?"

"I know," the Chu Emperor sighed. "Guards!"

A dark figure emerged from beside the Chu Emperor.

"Reply to Rising Dusk King, strengthen military preparations, and begin the war in half a month!"

The shadowy figure nodded and quickly disappeared.

Half a month?

Everyone present was stunned; they hadn't expected it to happen so quickly.

"Alright, all of you, go back now. Hurry up, you'll be busy later." The Chu Emperor didn't offer any further explanation, waving his hand as if he had only summoned them today to let them know about this matter.

These people still had many doubts, but seeing that the Chu Emperor was unwilling to talk about them, they didn't ask any more questions. After all, if His Majesty didn't want to talk about it, it would be too tactless for them to ask any more questions.

The group cupped their hands in a respectful gesture and prepared to leave.

"Eunuch Wei, please stay," the Chu Emperor said again.

Everyone else left, but Eunuch Wei remained in the room.

The room fell silent. Eunuch Wei closed the door behind him, poured a cup of hot tea, and handed it to the Chu Emperor.

"Your Majesty usually enjoys drinking tea. Is it because the matter is so serious today that you forgot this habit?"

The Chu Emperor received the tea but said nothing, nor did he drink it. Instead, he looked at Eunuch Wei with a complicated expression.

Eunuch Wei smiled and said casually, "Your Majesty, you have something to say, and it's a big deal, something that concerns me."

The Chu Emperor put down his teacup, his complex emotions growing even more intense.

He stood up, went to Eunuch Wei's side, and suddenly reached out and pressed down on Eunuch Wei's shoulder.

"You and I have fought side by side on the battlefield for many years, and I can't bear to part with you."

A simple sentence reveals an unspeakable reluctance to part.

Eunuch Wei understood and continued laughing, "Is it my turn to go and die?"

The Chu Emperor took a deep breath. "In half a month, a great war will break out. At that time, the Great Yue Kingdom will definitely help the Barbarian Tribe, but without the Dark Building, they will no longer be able to monitor the Jianghu."

"By then..."

He didn't say the rest, as if he couldn't continue.

Eunuch Wei said, "Your Majesty, which one do you need me to replace? The Emperor of the Great Yue Kingdom, or that Prime Minister in white?"

"Emperor of the Great Yue Kingdom," the Chu Emperor said with a wry smile, "If Great Yue Kingdom helps the Barbarian Tribe and there is no longer the surveillance of the Dark Building, Eunuch Wei can come and go as he pleases. At that time, I will ask Rising Dusk King to hold out a little longer to buy time for Eunuch Wei."

"If we can replace the emperor of the Great Yue Kingdom, the God of War Bai Zhong will surely return to the Great Yue Kingdom at this time, and we can then take down the Barbarian Tribe in one fell swoop."

"At that time, the military genius and the Prime Minister in white robes of the Great Yue Kingdom will compete for the throne, giving us ample time."

Eunuch Wei nodded and agreed without hesitation.

The Chu Emperor hesitated. "Perhaps..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted again by Eunuch Wei.

"My life originally belonged to the Great Chu Kingdom, and now it's time to fulfill my duty."

The Chu Emperor fell silent, his expression growing increasingly complex.

"If it weren't for my position, I would be willing to go in your place, but if I were to die, the Great Chu Kingdom would fall into chaos."

"Understood, understood." Eunuch Wei chuckled, his face full of kindness. "If I die, I hope His Majesty will burn some paper money for our family every year."

"By the way, His Majesty didn't want Xu Bai involved in this matter because he was afraid Xu Bai would obstruct me?"

The Chu Emperor nodded and said, "I have to worry about that kid's personality. Once he gets angry, he's really fearless."

"Then we won't let Xu Bai know." Eunuch Wei straightened his clothes, then suddenly performed a deep bow and knelt down.

The Chu Emperor was startled and quickly stepped forward to help Eunuch Wei up. "What does this mean?"

He had long since abolished these formalities, but now Eunuch Wei was performing them for him, which he didn't understand.

"Your Majesty, I have never asked you for anything in my life, but today I want to ask you for one thing." Eunuch Wei said solemnly, "If Your Majesty agrees, I will die without regret."

The Chu Emperor said, "Please speak."

This was the first time someone had used the word "please" since he took this position, and it was also the first time he had been so serious.

Eunuch Wei said solemnly, "Your Majesty, please assure me that after I leave, the Great Chu Kingdom will protect Xu Bai's safety no matter what."

The Chu Emperor was stunned. After a long while, he gave a bitter smile.

"Of course, he is King Xu of our Great Chu, so of course it is so."

Eunuch Wei smiled kindly, "Then I shall take my leave. I will head to the Border Pass in half a month."

Without waiting for the Chu Emperor to help him up, he stood up and left the room.

After leaving, he closed the door behind him.

The Chu Emperor watched Eunuch Wei's departing figure and sighed softly.

His fists were clenched tightly and he didn't loosen them for a long time.

The next day.

The Imperial Palace, Xu Bai's temporary residence.

As the morning sunlight streamed in, Xu Bai removed the fair arm from his neck, sat up, and took a deep breath of fresh air.

He turned to look at Ye Zi, who was still fast asleep, then reached into the blankets and gently moved around.

Before long, Ye Zi's eyebrows furrowed. Although her eyes were closed, Xu Bai could see the corners of Ye Zi mouth slightly upturned.

The hand that had slipped under the covers continued to move upwards, and soon it grabbed a spot.

Ye Zi screamed, clutching the corner of the blanket tightly with her hand, and helplessly opened her eyes.

"We're an old married couple, why worry about these things? Hurry up and get ready, get up," Xu Bai said with a smile.

Ye Zi stretched out her fair arms, wrapped them around Xu Bai's neck, and pulled Xu Bai into her arms.

"No, I want to lie down a little longer~"

God knows how long it's been since she last saw Xu Bai. Last night was her most frenzied moment. She didn't even know that she would cooperate with Xu Bai and come up with so many new tricks.

In short, I tried everything that was written in the book last night.

"Today, I still need to go to the Ninth Princess's place. Get up first." Xu Bai patted Ye Zi's face, then, feeling it wasn't enough, gently pinched it.

That's the good thing about Ye Zi; although she's clingy, she won't interfere when she knows her man has something important to do.

"Alright then... but you still have to stay with me tonight."

"But the Heavenly Sound Master will only give you one day off," Xu Bai said with a smile.

Ye Zi's bright eyes rolled gently. "A day, of course, is daytime plus nighttime. Last night doesn't count."

As she spoke, she got up, put on her clothes, and then picked up Xu Bai's clothes.

"Let me dress you, young master."

The long-lost feeling returned to Xu Bai once again.

Xu Bai accepted Ye Zi's service very naturally. After everything was finished, he did not go to the Ninth Princess immediately. Instead, he went outside and told the maids guarding the door to bring over the food.

Before long, the maids brought various delicacies into the room.

After having a hearty breakfast, Xu Bai, accompanied by Ye Zi Ye Zi, headed to the Ninth Princess's residence.

The journey was smooth and unobstructed. During the trip, Xu Bai also inquired about Ye Zi's recent situation.

I didn't have time to ask last night. After I got back, the bed kept rocking until the wee hours of the morning. Finally, Ye Zi fell asleep from exhaustion, and Xu Bai didn't want to disturb her.

After inquiring, Xu Bai learned that Ye Zi had already reached the Transcendent Realm.

The Heavenly Sound Master wasn't lying; Ye Zi was indeed a rare genius in music, and after receiving guidance from a renowned teacher, he made significant progress.

Perhaps this is nothing compared to Xu Bai's progress, but compared to the progress of others, it is really too fast.

As they chatted, Ye Zi held tightly to Xu Bai's arm, not letting Xu Bai stray too far from her.

Before long, they arrived at the Ninth Princess's residence.

The Ninth Princess's residence was still guarded, but upon seeing that it was Xu Bai, they did not stop him or even announce his arrival, and let Xu Bai in.

Xu Bai knew the place like the back of his hand; it was the same place, the same spot.

When he led Ye Zi into the house, he saw that a table had already been set up inside.

The Ninth Princess sat directly opposite her, with Qing Xue and Qing Mei standing behind her.

"Welcome back to our great hero."

As Xu Bai walked in, the Ninth Princess's languid voice rang out, carrying a strange charm.

Xu Bai laughed and said, "It seems the princess already knew."

After all, they are members of the royal family, so it's normal for them to be well-informed.

"Please take a seat." The Ninth Princess gestured to the seat next to her, still with that languid demeanor, but the look in her eyes was different from when she looked at others.

Xu Bai didn't stand on ceremony and sat down next to Ye Zi. At the same time, he turned his head and winked at Qing Xue.

"Why aren't you pouring me some wine?"

The two were old acquaintances, and Qing Xue could understand that these words were just a joke.

"Yes, King Xu."

With a distinctive tone, Qing Xue held the wine pot and filled Xu Bai's cup.

"This glass of wine is for you." The Ninth Princess raised her wine glass, stretched out her fair arm, and moved it in front of Xu Bai.

Beside him, Ye Zi frowned.

As a woman, she always felt that something was off about this princess.

Xu Bai smiled, clinked glasses with the Ninth Princess, and downed the wine in one gulp. "I would be honored to accept your offer."

The wine is mellow and lingering on the palate.

Xu Bai clicked his tongue. "Is His Majesty about to send troops?"

The question seemed to be asked unintentionally, but after it was asked, the Ninth Princess's expression froze.

But the Ninth Princess quickly recovered, and with her slightly gentle eyes, she gave Xu Bai a playful glare.

"It seems that King Xu is not a reckless man."

Xu Bai picked up some food with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and then drank a cup of wine by himself.

A brute?

He can be reckless at times, but he also needs to be careful sometimes; otherwise, even with his special abilities, he wouldn't be alive today.

He had thought about this matter after he returned. The Great Yue Kingdom was in chaos, utter chaos, and needed a long time to recover and rebuild.

Isn't this the best time to attack the Barbarian Tribe?

If you think about it carefully, you can figure it out, but Xu Bai needs an answer, so he made a special trip to Ninth Princess's place.

In fact, according to the previous procedure, he should have asked the Chu Emperor, but after he returned, the Chu Emperor did not even grant him an audience, which seemed to indicate that he did not want him to get involved in this matter.

He didn't want to get involved, but he needed to know some things.

"After you returned, Father Emperor summoned the court officials to discuss important matters. I guessed it was the same as yours," the Ninth Princess said.

Judging from this, even the Ninth Princess wasn't entirely clear about the matter.

Xu Bai fell into deep thought.

The more secretive he keeps it, the more reliable his guess is. But now that he hasn't even told the Ninth Princess, it seems it's not far off.

"I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

Having not gotten what he wanted to know, Xu Bai prepared to leave with Ye Zi.

I originally wanted to talk to Qing Xue, but seeing the situation, it wasn't really a good time to talk. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so there's no need to do it now.

"Your Prince came all the way here just to find out information. Doesn't that break my heart?" The Ninth Princess suddenly reached out and grabbed Xu Bai's wrist.

Xu Bai frowned and said, "Ninth Princess, please have some self-respect."

He sensed something was off; the Ninth Princess seemed more relaxed today.

With Ye Zi beside him, Xu Bai had no desire to do anything else.

"It's normal for men to have multiple wives and concubines, so you probably don't mind, little sister." The Ninth Princess glanced lazily at Ye Zi.

Ye Zi frowned even more deeply.

She wasn't jealous; in fact, she was happier that her young master had more women who liked him.

But this situation is different; this woman is very cunning, and she always feels that nothing good is coming.

However, she didn't speak. She was very polite, and now that she was Xu Bai's woman, she had to let Xu Bai speak first.

Xu Bai's originally serious gaze gradually softened, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smile. At the same time, he reached out and pinched the Ninth Princess's chin.

The Ninth Princess did not retaliate, but let Xu Bai pinch her like that.

Xu Bai gently pinched her. "What a beautiful woman."

The Ninth Princess narrowed her eyes.

"She could be a concubine," Xu Bai continued.

The Ninth Princess suddenly opened her eyes, stepped back, and left Xu Bai's palm.

"I'm tired, I'll see you out."

The situation has changed dramatically since the beginning.

Xu Bai laughed and waved his hand, "No need to see me off."

With that, he put his arm around Ye Zi's waist and left.

After Xu Bai left, the Ninth Princess sat back down, her face grim.

"Princess." Qing Xue seemed to want to say something, but ultimately didn't.

"Do you think I'm a bit promiscuous?" the Ninth Princess asked.

Qing Xue gently shook her head. "The princess and Xu Bai have only met a few times in total, why would you do this?"

"Heh..." The Ninth Princess sneered, "Did you hear his guess just now?"

Qing Xue wanted to say that she hadn't heard these secrets and didn't want to hear them, but she had been standing right next to her and couldn't pretend she hadn't heard them, so she could only nod.

The Ninth Princess didn't pour herself any more wine. Instead, she picked up the wine pot and took a big gulp.

The cool liquor slid down his long neck, wetting the front of his shirt.

After the wine was finished, the Ninth Princess put down the wine pot and slowly said.

"His guess is pretty accurate; a fight is definitely going to break out. Given Father's personality, he's absolutely certain of it."

"Such a large area, if we conquer it all, how can Father manage it all by himself?"

"Last time, although I was granted the title of king, I did not request any land."

"Only after we have conquered the world will it be time for me to be granted a fiefdom."

She stopped there, leaving the rest unsaid.

The saying "the emperor is far away and the sky is high" is not just a casual remark.

When the time comes, you'll need a distant fiefdom, which will essentially be your own territory.

"Then why... do you want to find Xu Bai?" Qing Xue continued to ask.

The Ninth Princess narrowed her eyes. "He is extremely important in Father's eyes. If he becomes my man, that would be a huge help."

"I never expected that he would want me to be his concubine. I don't even need to think about it. Who am I? I can only be the principal wife."

Qing Xue hesitated and said, "Princess, there's really no need for that. Given your status, why would you do such a thing?"

The Ninth Princess glanced at Qing Xue: "It's not entirely because of that. I have indeed taken a liking to this man."

"There are many talented young men in the world, but only he can catch my eye. You are the same, aren't you?"

Since ancient times, heroes have loved beauties, and beauties have loved heroes in return.

Qing Xue did not reply.

"Enough. He actually said such humiliating things to me today. We'll talk about this later. I don't want to think about it now." The Ninth Princess waved her hand in frustration and stopped caring about it.

Qing Xue agreed and didn't continue.

After Xu Bai left the Ninth Princess's residence, he let Ye Zi go back first, while he went to Eunuch Wei's residence.

He didn't know many people in the Capital City, but he did have a few, especially Eunuch Wei.

There were few people in the world who were truly close to him, and Eunuch Wei was one of them. More importantly, Xu Bai greatly admired and was grateful to Eunuch Wei.

Since he came into this world, Eunuch Wei was the first person to help him so sincerely. He could tell that Eunuch Wei was genuinely sincere.

Despite his ruthless nature and merciless killings that terrify the entire martial arts world and serve as a nightmare for the younger generation, he is not a villain.

But he is actually a very simple person.

If you treat me well, I will treat you well in return; if you treat me badly, I will cut you into a thousand pieces.

Eunuch Wei treated him with sincerity and provided him with assistance on numerous occasions.

If Xu Bai doesn't know how to be grateful, then his values are very warped.

Since the purpose of the visit was to have a drink with Eunuch Wei, and Ye Zi was not available to go, Xu Bai went alone.

Before long, they arrived at Eunuch Wei's residence.

The eunuchs guarding the door did not stop him.

Apart from the important forbidden areas within the Imperial Palace, Xu Bai could go wherever he wanted within the Imperial Palace.

Upon entering the courtyard, Xu Bai found Eunuch Wei's room with practiced ease and gently knocked on the door.

"Come in."

As Eunuch Wei's voice rang out, Xu Bai revealed a genuine smile and pushed open the door to enter.

As soon as he pushed open the door, he smelled a strong aroma of wine, which made his eyes light up.

"Good wine!"

Following the aroma of the wine, one could see a simple table of dishes and a jar of fine wine that had just been sealed with clay.

Only the wine from Eunuch Wei's place truly satisfied him.

It's intense, pure, and powerful!

Xu Bai swaggered down in front of Eunuch Wei, eagerly poured himself a bowl, gulped it down, and exclaimed, "That's great!"

Actually, he wasn't addicted to alcohol, but after spending so much time in the Imperial Palace and often chatting and drinking with Eunuch Wei, he had indeed developed a habit from Eunuch Wei.

"Since this is a small gathering between us, I will no longer address you as Your Prince." Eunuch Wei picked up his wine bowl, clinked it against Xu Bai's, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Of course, of course. In terms of status, you are my elder," Xu Bai replied repeatedly.

Although he said that, his hands didn't stop moving, and he picked up several more bites of food.

Here, the two of them didn't care about formalities; they said what they wanted to say and talked about whatever they wanted to talk about.

They drank and chatted, mostly about everyday matters.

Eunuch Wei talked about interesting things in the palace, while Xu Bai talked about the various thrilling moments of the trip.

The two chatted about their own things, but it was unusually harmonious.

Before long, after several rounds of drinks and several dishes, Xu Bai felt slightly drunk.

With his current level of cultivation, if he really wanted to avoid getting drunk, he only needed to circulate his True Yuan Power slightly. But when it comes to drinking, being slightly drunk is the best state.

Being completely drunk is unpleasant; only being slightly drunk is truly comfortable.

Eunuch Wei was the same. He patted Xu Bai on the shoulder and, for the first time, didn't stand on ceremony. "In the future, don't be too reckless in your actions, and don't disregard your own safety for a little profit."

Xu Bai nodded in agreement.

That was more than just a small benefit; it was enough to elevate him to the highest level of the extraordinary realm.

Of course, he didn't say these words.

When chatting, you need to be mindful of your emotional intelligence.

Xu Bai joked, "No matter how big a mess I make, Eunuch Wei will cover for me. I'm not afraid. After all, although Eunuch Wei isn't among the top nine masters in the world, all nine masters are afraid of you."

Eunuch Wei smiled kindly.

Who says flattery doesn't work? It depends on who's doing it.

"Eunuch Wei, is war about to break out?" Xu Bai asked.

Eunuch Wei nodded, still smiling, "You're quite clever, but don't inquire about this matter. His Majesty doesn't want you to know, so it's best if you don't know."

Xu Bai agreed, picked up his wine cup, and drank another cup with Eunuch Wei.

They drank several large jars of wine, not stopping until late at night.

Seeing that it was getting late and he needed to go back to be with Ye Zi, Xu Bai got up to leave.

"Wait!" Eunuch Wei suddenly called out to Xu Bai: "I'll give you something that can help you avoid any trouble in the future."

As he spoke, Eunuch Wei raised his hand.

In his hand was an oval-shaped bead, which was white.

"This is an extraordinary treasure. Although it cannot compare to the Evil Eye Saber in your hand, it can defend against an attack from Extraordinary Rank 9 expert. You can wear it on your person."

"Our family isn't like Chief Mu's; we don't have many treasures. This is our family's best treasure."

Xu Bai was taken aback.

Although it is said to be Extraordinary Rank 9, its importance is self-evident.

He felt he shouldn't accept gifts without having done so much for them; in fact, since Eunuch Wei had helped him so much, it was his turn to give gifts to Eunuch Wei.

After several attempts to refuse, Xu Bai reluctantly accepted the offer only when Eunuch Wei's expression hardened.

Then, without lingering, he left Eunuch Wei's room and headed towards his temporary residence.

As he walked, he continued to play with the beads that Eunuch Wei had given him.

"This is really good stuff..."

It can withstand a strike from Extraordinary Rank 9, and in terms of defense, it is even several levels higher than his Undying Demon Soul Buddha Body.

"As expected, Eunuch Wei is still the best to me. Another day, I will invite Eunuch Wei to my place for drinks, and I will personally cook a few dishes for him."

Thinking this, he was about to reach his residence.

Unexpectedly, before he could even step inside, he sensed something unusual coming from behind him.

Xu Bai was slightly taken aback, his gaze shifting to the shadows in the corner. "Didn't you tell me to wait for you? Why are you only coming to find me now?"

There was a twisting motion in the shadows, and Ying Yue emerged from them.

"Congratulations on gaining your freedom," Xu Bai said with a smile.

I thought Ying Yue would be happy, but to my surprise, Ying Yue's face was not only solemn, but also very conflicted.

"What's wrong?" Xu Bai asked, frowning.

He suddenly felt as if something was about to happen, and at the same time, he felt his mind begin to wander.

It's a mess.

For some reason, it's all very chaotic.

After seeing Xu Bai's expression, Ying Yue took a deep breath, walked up to Xu Bai Xu Bai, leaned close to his ear, and parted her red lips slightly.

"I came to tell you something..."
