Chapter 261: Bai He’s Outburst

Bai He looked around curiously, examining everything carefully, appearing completely like someone who had never seen the world before, recalling the novels he had read in the past.

Those protagonists who transmigrated into royal family lived in such magnificent houses every day and wore such beautiful jewelry.

"But Host, every day you still have to kneel before others, and you have to constantly worry about whether your head will be safe or not."

After hearing Mo Zhu say this, Bai He suddenly felt that his current situation did not seem so bad after all.

At the very least, he now had an entire mountain of his own as well as a house belonging to him.

Everyone treated him quite well and he did not have a bloodthirsty boyfriend either.

He really should not demand too much.

Princess Yangshi was dignified and noble, truly worthy of being a woman raised in the imperial family.

She carried an innate nobility that was not at all inferior to the bearing of cultivators.

When Bai He sitting beside her, he felt as if he was being overshadowed.

"Host, be bold. You are indeed being overshadowed."

Bai He felt a little upset inside.

Before the time it takes to burn an incense stick had passed, someone rushed in from outside.

Upon closer inspection, it was a palace maid dressed in the princess’s attire.

She was the personal maid of Princess Yangshi named Rong Hua.

"Princess, Princess Guantao is heading this way."

"Aunt has come?"

Princess Yangshi immediately walked out of the room and saw Princess Guantao approaching from the front.

Bai He stood at the doorway, watching the palace attendants bow to her, but he did not move.

Apart from his senior brother and his master, Bai He did not bow to anyone else.

"Why is he here with you?"

Princess Guantao immediately noticed Bai He.

Princess Yangshi explained, "It was Shiyuan who brought him into the palace. His Majesty has issued an imperial decree, and right now His Majesty is meeting Shiyuan alone."

Princess Guantao let out a cold snort and did not take the sharp tongued boy from last night seriously at all.

"So lacking in manners. I wonder which family raised him."

Bai He was not actually without manners.

It was just that cultivators rarely followed such rigid rules and etiquette.

The only reason he bowed to his senior brother and his master was because one was the sect leader and the other was his master.

In truth, he did not even need to bow at all.

Bai He suddenly felt that he understood what Mo Zhu had said earlier.

His current life was not actually so bad after all.

Even if one transmigrates into the identity of a royals or something of the sort, it still ends up being constant kneeling and bowing after all.

"Has Ye Shiyuan agreed?"

"Aunt, not yet. This Young Master said that if Shiyuan agrees, the consequences will be very serious, and it might even cause backlash onto himself."

"So what?" Princess Guantao did not care at all about Ye Shiyuan’s life or death. "One life of Ye Shiyuan in exchange for the Emperor’s life is a tremendous honor for him."

Bai He could not help but speak up when he heard this.

"Princess Guantao, forgive my frankness, I can also save His Majesty."

"You can too?"

Bai He nodded.

"Yes, but I will need a few conditions."

Princess Guantao looked Bai He up and down.

"Alright, say it. I can agree to any condition."

"It is actually not difficult. As long as Princess Guantao is willing to sacrifice herself, I will go and save His Majesty."

Princess Guantao slammed her hand heavily on the table.

"What did you say..."

"Isn’t it just a life for a life? The Princess Guantao’s life exchanged for His Majesty’s life. Is that not also a tremendous honor for you?"

These people really spoke so casually as if other people were not human at all.

If they treated others like they were nothing, then they should not blame others for treating them the same way in return.

When they asked others to sacrifice, they made it sound so simple, yet when it came to themselves, they could not accept it at all.

"Young Master, if you can save my father, I am willing to sacrifice myself."

Princess Yangshi believed her words without hesitation.

Bai He raised an eyebrow.

From this point of view, Princess Yangshi was indeed a filial and good daughter, but Princess Guantao’s face was still filled with anger.

"That will not do. Princess Yangshi, only the life of Princess Guantao can be used. I wonder what position His Majesty holds in Princess Guantao’s heart? Is she willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of the world, and for her own imperial brother?"

Princess Guantao’s hand resting on the table slowly clenched into a fist.

After a moment of silence, she slammed the table again and shouted toward the outside, "This is complete nonsense. Guards, arrest this boy for spreading deceptive and seditious lies!"

As soon as the voice fell, people rushed in and surrounded Bai He.

Xu Feng who had not said a single word all this time immediately reacted and stood in front of Bai He.

"Master, don’t be afraid."

When had he ever been afraid?

"Princess Guantao, even if you have me arrested, there are still some things I must say. If it does not concern oneself, one naturally stands aloof. When it is not your life on the line, you speak so easily. But the moment it becomes your life, you immediately fly into rage out of embarrassment. Not to mention His Majesty, there is not a single person in this world who is worth sacrificing Ye Shiyuan for."

Bai He spoke coldly.

The anger in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

Even with Xue Feng standing in front of him, his words carried no loss of momentum.

He was indeed very angry, ever since Princess Guantao had said that sentence.
