Chapter 1186: Chapter 571: Capable of Battling the Empress (2)
Actually, she always refused to admit it in her heart.
As for Xiaoqi... he’s indeed strong. During their time cultivating at Star Hall, they had many exchanges.
However, most of it was her guiding Xiaoqi.
But he instantly grasped the concepts and immediately had his own insights. The sharing between them greatly benefited her as well.
Their relationship progressed rapidly.
Yet neither of them spoke out about it.
However, today, facing Lin Xi, her halo of a prodigy was finally shattered, cascading down. Feeling agitated, she invited Xiaoqi to accompany her and unwind.
But unexpectedly, there was another little tail behind.
"Don’t worry, Sister Bamboo Garden. There’s Aunt Qin too, she’s strong, oh, and my brother, he’s impressive!"
"And of course, me!"
"When the time comes, we’ll ensure you get top-tier rules!"
Xiaoqi comforted her.
"Thank you!"
Bamboo Garden smiled.
Having me!
Those two words lifted her spirits considerably, bringing an unusual feeling.
Born in Star Hall, apart from the Hall Master, she had hardly interacted with others.
While Xiaoqi was genuine, his feelings for her were heartfelt, making her feel good.
"Oh.... alright..."
Suddenly, a burst of cheers erupted ahead, "Come on, let’s check it out!"
Bamboo Garden directly pulled Xiaoqi and ran toward the commotion.
"Oh, got hands-on!"
Behind them, Chen An’s lips curled as he watched the scene.
After one night, there was finally some progress. Subsequently, he also quickened his pace to catch up.
"Wow, it’s shadow play!"
Xiaoqi pointed excitedly at the shadows on the white cloth.
"It’s indeed nice!"
Bamboo Garden nodded repeatedly.
While shadow plays were common for ordinary people, given their circumstances... one was always at Star Hall, the other had been cultivating in the Prince’s Mansion since childhood, later in the Primordial Realm, and upon arriving in the Imperial City, was either at the Throng Judicial Departments or Star Hall.
The two had watched shadow plays less than five times.
Although the two possessed martial prowess envied by others, they truly lacked much of the worldly human experiences they should have.
On the white cloth, two small figures fiercely battled, accompanied by lifelike voiceovers.
The onlookers erupted in occasional applause.
Even Xiaoqi and Bamboo Garden clapped softly but remained silent.
On the contrary, Chen An looked at the two unexpectedly. He had seen enough of these in the Lower Realm, and even in the Supreme Domain, they weren’t anything special.
"Do they really need to?"
He wasn’t quite understanding!
As the surrounding cheers grew louder, the shadow play wrapped up, concluding with a tipping round.
Both Xiaoqi and Bamboo Garden gave a leaf of gold, drawing amazed glances from the ordinary onlookers.
Even the young girl collecting money was ecstatic and thanked them profusely.
"Let’s go!"
Bamboo Garden, unable to bear the people’s gazes, felt a bit flustered and quickly pulled Xiaoqi away from there.
"Haha!"
Chen An chuckled softly.
The trio strolled leisurely once more until their stomachs protested, leading them to a tavern.
However, the three didn’t choose a private room but selected a window-side seat, enjoying the view outside while eating and drinking.
"Sister Bamboo Garden, try this. It’s delicious."
Xiaoqi proactively served her food.
"Brother, you have some too!"
"Oh, still remember your brother, huh."
Chen An teased him.
In a flash, Xiaoqi’s face turned red.
As for Bamboo Garden, she seemed not to hear, nibbling while her gaze fell outside the window.
"Customers, the total is one hundred thousand gold!"
"Someone will come to pay!"
"Ah..."
The startled young attendant found themselves with all ordered items, only to be told someone would come to pay.
The smile on their face vanished instantly.
This scene also drew the attention of the guests in the hall, naturally including Xiaoqi and the others.
"Those three aren’t ordinary, very strong!"
Bamboo Garden’s eyes turned serious, her senses profoundly sharp, feeling no aura but a sense of danger.
Indeed!
These three were precisely Xiao Jue and his company.
At the time, he helplessly looked toward Fu Tian; they had simply intended to stroll and enjoy Great Yu’s night scenery,
Yet somehow ended up in a tavern.
Ordered so much.
The critical point was leaving without money.
What a predicament!
Prominent members of royal families from three continents, top prodigies, had become diners without paying.
If this spread, they’d be laughed at forever.
"You just know how to eat!"
Glaring at him fiercely, "Just know how to eat!"
"You didn’t eat?!"
Fu Tian protested; all three ate, why blame him alone!
"Forget it, forget it. Isn’t there a tail? Let them handle it, pay later!"
Ning Xuan sighed helplessly.
For people of their status, they wouldn’t even think to carry money themselves!
"Notify the tail back there!"
Xiao Jue looked toward Fu Tian, unwilling to speak up himself.
"Alright, I’ll notify!"
Fu Tian pouted, then sent a message directly, "Come here!"
"Wait, someone’s coming!"
Staring at the attendant with discontent, and upon seeing the glares from the hall, his anger only rose.
"Humph!"
A cold snort.
The people in the hall instantly felt their hearts tremble; their faces suddenly turned pale.
"That’s excessive!"
Xiaoqi coldly looked over, "Shifting your mistakes onto these ordinary people, you’re experts at least!"
"You’re seeking death?!"
Already in a foul mood, Fu Tian’s aura exploded fiercely, like a raging sea, directly pressing toward Xiaoqi.
Xiaoqi’s expression changed!
So strong!
Strength instantly erupted, not daring to hold anything back, meanwhile Chen An immediately joined.
The two brothers united to confront Fu Tian’s aura!
