"That's right! I'm going to the imperial capital!" Su Mo nodded.
Hearing this, City Lord Bai pondered briefly and said, "Su Mo, why not leave tomorrow instead? Travel with Yin'er!"
"Your daughter is going to the imperial capital too?" Su Mo was somewhat surprised.
"Yes. The Emperor's Concubine Selection is being held, and Yin'er is going to the imperial palace to compete?" City Lord Bai sighed helplessly.
At this moment, City Lord Bai's heart was filled with bitterness. He could not think of any way to stop this.
He had considered finding someone to take his daughter's place, but that was clearly impossible. Bai Yin'er had been recommended to the Great Emperor and personally nominated by him. Trying to swap one beam for another beneath the roof would never fool him!
City Lord Bai had even considered another, more ruthless method: having Bai Yin'er lose her chastity beforehand, thus disqualifying her from the selection.
And Su Mo could not have been more suitable as the one to take it from her.
But that method was simply too dangerous. City Lord Bai did not dare gamble on it.
The Great Emperor's notice had already been issued. If Bai Yin'er lost her chastity at this time, the Great Emperor might very well directly order her execution.
The Divine Martial Great Emperor was violent and tyrannical, overbearing beyond measure, with moods as changeable as the wind and clouds. If one of his concubine candidates lost her chastity to an outsider, she would certainly be unable to escape death.
Thus, City Lord Bai did not dare take that gamble. He had only this one precious daughter; he absolutely could not let her die like this.
Now, City Lord Bai could only hope that the Great Emperor would not take a liking to Bai Yin'er
