The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 245 - 244: Didn’t We Have an Agreement Between Us?

Chapter 245: Chapter 244: Didn’t We Have an Agreement Between Us?

Bai Zhiyuan was naturally beautiful with a smile that could outshine a painting. Her innocently pure smile was like a tender lily, so pure and clean.

"Me?" Lin Bai said with a laugh.

"Yes." Bai Zhiyuan laughed and said, "Lin Bai, you’re such a tease. You promised you’d visit me in the Imperial Capital, but you never did. If my sister hadn’t told me, I would not even have known you were here."

Lin Bai gave a wry smile, "I was pressed for time, I didn’t have any time for leisure."

By the time Bai Zhiyuan found Lin Bai...

Bai Xiaoxiao saw this scene, and her face fell slightly forlorn.

In fact, she was also looking for Lin Bai...

"Ahem, Xiaoxiao, choose me. I will help you secure many Spirit Pearls." Qi Rui could not help but call out when he saw Bai Xiaoxiao unmoved by his sentiment.

"The prince has made his stance clear, I believe it would behoove the First Princess not to refuse."

"Yes, the prince has spoken."

Many warriors were taken aback by the prince’s declaration.

The Qi Prince’s face darkened considerably. If Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t choose Qi Rui, the honor of Qi Wangfu would be utterly lost.

The junior prince of the prestigious Qi Wangfu, also a warrior of the Heaven Martial Realm’s third layer, was known to be a prodigy. Now he had made his intentions clear for Bai Xiaoxiao to choose him, but she still didn’t respond.

Bai Xiaoxiao’s face showed a long struggle but, ended in indecisiveness.

After hesitation, Bai Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, looked up at Qi Rui.

Qi Rui’s face lit up with excitement. Looking at Bai Xiaoxiao’s gaze, it seemed she was about to choose him.

But to his surprise, Bai Xiaoxiao’s next words caused his joy to radically transmute into humiliation.

Bai Xiaoxiao responded, "I’m sorry, my prince, but I’ve made a prior commitment to someone else."

"What? Who?"

Upon hearing these words, Qi Rui’s happiness was short-lived, and he exclaimed in disbelief.

"The First Princess has a commitment already!"

"What type of commitment? An engagement? Ha-ha."

"Who could it be? Could there truly be one who outshines our prince?"

Several warriors voiced their confusion in bewilderment.

Following these words, Bai Xiaoxiao walked up to the Spirit Sword Sect, raised her voice, and said to Lin Bai, "Lin Bai, didn’t we agree that you would assist me during the Heaven Worship Ceremony?"

Hearing this, Lin Bai was taken aback, thinking to himself: When did I agree to such a commitment?

Lu Yuan was taken aback.

Chen Gong was taken aback.

All the warriors present were taken aback.

What?

She had made a commitment with Lin Bai?

Lin Bai was only a warrior of the Ninth Level of Earth Martial Realm. Compared to the young prince, he was far inferior.

Many warriors stared at Bai Xiaoxiao in puzzlement, unable to comprehend why she would choose Lin Bai over the prince.

The stronger the assistant, the more Spirit Pearls they could potentially seize.

Lin Bai, being in the Ninth Level of Earth Martial Realm, was considerably weaker than the prince.

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhiyuan looked sadly at Bai Xiaoxiao. Tears welled up in her eyes as she uttered, aggrieved, "Sister, I chose Lin Bai first..."

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at her beloved sister with sorrowful eyes, her expression helpless.

At this point, Lin Bai gathered his thoughts and said with a soft smile, "Yes, I did agree with the First Princess that I would assist her if fortune favored me to be present at the Heaven Worship Ceremony."

"Lin Bai!" Bai Zhiyuan exclaimed, her injured feelings plain in her voice.

Lin Bai descended from the Spirit Sword Sect’s camp and came before Bai Zhiyuan. He fondly patted Bai Zhiyuan’s head and said, "Your sister had no other choice, you know what kind of person Qi Rui is, don’t you? Would you rather your sister fall into the clutches of this evil man?"

"No, no, no, of course not. Zhiyuan doesn’t want that, I also don’t like Qi Rui. It’s just that, Lin Bai, I chose you first, I chose you first." Bai Zhiyuan unfortunately said.

Lin Bai laughed comfortingly, "Zhiyuan, if it wasn’t for the First Princess’s present predicament, I wouldn’t have chosen to help her. I would certainly have chosen to help you."

"Don’t be willful. There are thousands of warriors here, the majority being officials and nobles within the Shenwu Kingdom’s territory, as well as many local tyrants here—it is unwise to become the laughing stock in front of them."

Lin Bai said quietly.

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhiyuan raised her eyes and earnestly asked, "Then, Brother Lin Bai, let me ask you, do you like me more or do you like my sister more?"

Chuckle——

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai almost popped his eyes out.

Lu Yuan, Zhang Lingdao, and Chen Gong all heard this, looking curiously at Lin Bai.

Especially Chen Gong, whose old eyes held a glimmer of youth, as if praising, ’Good lad, you’ve really caught both the sister and the younger sister.’

"Of course, I like you more." Lin Bai said with a smile.

"Hee hee, I knew it." Bai Zhiyuan was very pleased with Lin Bai’s answer.

"But, Brother Lin Bai, if you won’t be my assistant, then Zhiyuan won’t have anyone to choose."

Bai Zhiyuan said somewhat perplexed.

Lin Bai said, "This senior brother behind me, named Lu Yuan, is not weak in strength compared to me. It would be more than enough for him to be your assistant."

Bai Zhiyuan stood on her tiptoes, glanced at Lu Yuan and asked timidly, "Brother Lu Yuan, would you be willing to be Zhiyuan’s assistant?"

Lu Yuan respectfully saluted and said seriously, "Being able to be the Ninth Princess’s assistant is my fortune. I will do everything in my power to win more Spirit Pearls for the Ninth Princess."

"Hee hee, okay then." Bai Zhiyuan laughed delightedly.

Then, Bai Zhiyuan turned around and said to Bai Xiaoxiao, "Sister, let Brother Lin Bai just be your assistant."

"Sister, you and Brother Lin Bai have to work hard to win many, many Spirit Pearls."

Bai Zhiyuan cheered Bai Xiaoxiao on.

Bai Xiaoxiao fondly patted Bai Zhiyuan’s neck and determinedly said, "Zhiyuan, thank you."

Then, Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Lin Bai as the two of them walked to the center of the field.

And Bai Zhiyuan and Lu Yuan also walked into the field together.

Seeing Bai Xiaoxiao’s choice was Lin Bai, Qi Rui was so angry he could barely catch his breath, roaring, "Bai Xiaoxiao, you rejected me, just to choose this loser!"

"Do you know that this warrior named Lin Bai is a ’Yellow Rank First Class Martial Spirit’ trash!"

Thud!

Hearing these words from Qi Rui.Lin Bai, who had been calm-faced, suddenly halted as a cold murderous intent appeared on his face.

Lin Bai’s face turned cold, and icy look was shot towards Qi Rui. It sent out waves of icy chills, causing Bai Xiaoxiao, who was standing next to Lin Bai, to shiver unconsciously.

Murderous intent, an icy chill to the extreme that was emanating from Lin Bai.

Many of the military geniuses who had returned from the battlefield turned pale when they sensed this icy intent.

This murderous intent was too chilling, like an instant which placed one under a thousand-foot glacier.

It felt as if one was being stared at by the Grim Reaper.

"What are you looking at, trash? Am I wrong?" Qi Rui stared at Lin Bai and roared without showing weakness.

Lin Bai stared at Qi Rui with a cold face, squeezing out a few words from between his teeth, "You will die!"
