Book of Disaster

As soon as these words were spoken, Nangong Xu immediately looked at Bai Qi with new eyes.

Even the Nangong family's personal guards around him couldn't help but feel favorable towards him.

"Hahaha, good, you can think of this, which proves that the Queen did not make a mistake in choosing you, and also proves that I, Nangong Xu, did not make a mistake in choosing you. Bai Qi, don't worry, if you have any problems in the future, just come to me, and you don't have to go through the Queen."

Nangong Xu laughed loudly and was in a very good mood, which was completely different from before.

At this moment, he finally understood why the Imperial Concubine looked up to this boy from the Bai family.

From the moment he laughed, Bai Qi officially gained his recognition.

"Since you have made your decision, I won't force you, but there is one more thing..."

When Nangong Xu said this, he stopped smiling and looked much more serious.

"Oh?"

Bai Qi was surprised.

"About King Xiao Jing..."

Nangong Xu paused for a moment, as if weighing the weight of every word in his mind, and then slowly continued:

“Some things are really special.”

A hint of hesitation flashed across his pupils, but he finally decided to reveal these hidden secrets to Bai Qi.

"In recent years, a mysterious force seems to have emerged in Dayuan, Daewoo, and the surrounding countries. They are secretly searching for some special talents. We don't know the specific target yet, but every year there are always some gifted and talented people who die in various unusual ways during their recruit period."

His voice dropped even lower, so that only Bai Qi could hear it.

"What's even more disturbing is that this force seems to be connected to our Great Yuan's Crown Prince's Guardian, Li Yuxuan."

At the moment when this key word fell, there seemed to be a roar in the air. Although there was no actual sound, it was like thunder that shook the soul and made people uneasy.

"boom!"

Bai Qi just listened at first and didn't pay much attention to it, but when he suddenly heard the words "Prince's Guardian Li Yuxuan", Bai Qi trembled all over as if struck by lightning. He raised his head suddenly with disbelief on his face.

"Li Yuxuan?"

"Ah."

Nangong Xu seemed to be preoccupied with something, and did not notice Bai Qi's strange behavior:

"This Prince's Guardian Li Yuxuan is of great importance. He is even considered a maverick among the royal family. Although our Nangong family is powerful, we have to be extra careful when it comes to him. We should avoid him if possible and try not to make him our enemy."

Nangong Xu paused, as if he was organizing his thoughts, and then continued:

"Oh, I almost forgot to mention the most important thing. According to our investigation, Prince Xiaojing's hostility towards you is not just because of the relationship with Duke Xiaoji. He has a close relationship with Li Yuxuan, the Crown Prince's Guardian, and the connection between them also involves you. We have reason to suspect that you may have become one of their targets."

"Of course, it could be that we are wrong, but it is better to be cautious. If you want to stay, be careful. If anything happens, feel free to contact me at any time. I will definitely help you to the best of my ability."

"Thank you, General."

Bai Qi said sincerely.

Nangong Xu left quickly.

There was silence in the hall, but Bai Qi stood there with his heart beating fast and his thoughts flying. He was far from calm. The last message that Nangong Xu said kept echoing in his mind.

"…Specially looking for some special talents…the chosen ones…the abnormal deaths…Li Yuxuan…"

Bai Qi's expression was extremely solemn.

Isn’t Li Yuxuan the ultimate destined villain mentioned in the Heavenly Book?

Could it be that all this has something to do with him?

Bai Qi originally thought that this was simply a continuation of the grudge between himself and Duke Xiao Ji, but now, he no longer thinks so.

Also... every year some talented people die abnormally. What does this mean?

Are those people time travelers like me?

At this moment, Bai Qi’s mind was filled with thoughts and he was thinking a lot.

Everything that was originally clear suddenly became confusing.

……

Time flies by.

With Nangong Xu's endorsement, almost no one in the recruit camp dared to cause trouble for Bai Qi. Especially after seeing Bai Qi beat up King Xiao Jing and acted as if nothing had happened afterwards, the old martial arts forces were extremely wary of him and no one dared to provoke him.

As a result, the people who suffered the most were King Xiaojing and others.

In a tent, King Xiao Jing was wearing bandages and sitting on the throne with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Thanks to the royal family's panacea, Prince Xiaojing recovered from his injuries much faster than most people imagined, but his aura was still weak, and it was obvious that he would need some time to recuperate before he could return to his full strength.

There was a cup of fragrant tea on his table, and the aroma of tea was wafting in the air, but King Xiaojing ignored it. His eyes would occasionally fall towards the door of the tent, as if he was waiting for something.

Below the tent, Xiong Zhantian, Li Henian and other members of the old martial arts group stood with their heads bowed, silent as a mouse.

The atmosphere was depressing.

"Wow!"

At this moment, the curtain door of the tent opened and a warrior ran in hurriedly, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Even King Xiaojing looked over.

"How is it, have you met General Xuanwu?"

Li Henian asked hurriedly.

"No, no, I went to deliver a message, but was stopped by his deputy general. He said that General Xuanwu was in seclusion recently and would not see anyone."

The warrior said with a nervous look on his face.

"This bastard is obviously hiding on purpose and doesn't dare to see us!"

"Huang Yuetian, this old bastard, actually dared to disobey us and release Bai Qi without permission. I think he has completely betrayed the old martial arts!"

……

Everyone was excited and started to scold.

Only Prince Xiao Jing sat upright at the top, with no expression on his face.

"You guys go out first."

At this time, King Xiaojing suddenly spoke.

"Yes."

Everyone's heart trembled, and they wanted to say something, but they couldn't say anything, and they all left the tent.

Soon, King Jing was the only one left in the tent.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang, and King Xiao Jing looked gloomy. He stood up suddenly and swept the teacup on the table to the ground, causing the tea to splash and shatter.

At this moment, King Xiao Jing's expression was distorted and ferocious, and there was no sign of calmness at all.

"Damn it, damn it!"

King Xiao Jing clenched his right fist and pounded the table heavily. He was like a wild beast, ready to devour anyone:

"No one has ever dared to disobey me, Huang Yuetian. You are so courageous. I think you have reached the end of your career as the commander of the recruit camp!"

"And Bai Qi, no one dares to humiliate me like this. I will definitely kill you!"

At this moment, Prince Xiao Jing looked like a madman.

If we say that King Xiaojing's targeting of Bai Qi before was just a grudge between the old warriors and the new warriors, then now it has become King Xiaojing's personal vendetta, or a demon in his heart.
