Book of Disaster

"Haha, Aunt Zhao, we really just met by chance."

Unexpectedly, Bai Qi smiled slightly and did not expose everyone.

Everyone around was stunned when they heard this. Princess Lengli was also slightly surprised. She obviously did not expect Bai Qi to help hide.

"Oh?"

Nanny Zhao was stunned at first, then turned around and looked at Bai Qi deeply, as if with some deep meaning.

"Haha, don't worry, Madam Zhao, it's just the kids' business, Bai Qi will take care of it."

Bai Qi said with a double meaning.

When Nanny Zhao heard this, a hint of approval flashed in her eyes.

She originally thought that Bai Qi would ask her to stand up for him after he was humiliated, but... he had such integrity and magnanimity, so it was no wonder that the queen would think highly of him and make an exception to accept this only adopted son.

"In that case, I won't ask any more questions. Mr. Bai, I'll be waiting for you there."

Nanny Zhao glanced at Bai Qi and Princess Lengli, and pointed to a carriage not far away. It was obviously sent by Concubine Zhao to pick up Bai Qi.

"Understood. Thank you, Aunt Zhao."

Bai Qi bowed.

As soon as Madam Zhao left, Princess Lengli, who had been so submissive, immediately changed her expression and said viciously:

"Bai Qi, don't be too proud. You have Madam Zhao's support this time, so you escaped a disaster. But you won't be so lucky every time."

"Are you still coming?"

Bai Qi was puzzled and said that Princess Lengli was really arrogant to the core.

"Hmph, don't think that I will let you go just because you helped me a little. It's useless for you to ask Madam Zhao to help. I will never let go of my lifelong affairs. Just wait and see!"

Princess Lengli stared at Bai Qi fiercely.

Bai Qi's scalp was tingling. Given the princess's personality, she would probably do what she said. Bai Qi was not afraid of her, but if he was intercepted and harassed by her like this every day, how could he live in peace in the future?

We have to find a way to get rid of her.

Bai Qi's mind moved and he quickly came up with an idea.

"In that case, I do have a suggestion."

"what?"

Princess Lengli looked surprised and asked subconsciously.

"Don't you think I'm useless and unhappy with this engagement? How about this, let's just have a fight."

Bai Qi raised his eyebrows.

"A fight?"

Princess Lengli immediately showed a cautious look. She was not a brainless princess.

"It's very simple. Let's meet in a place for a fair duel. If you win, I will meet your request and sign this letter of withdrawal of engagement, allowing His Majesty to cancel our engagement."

Bai Qi pointed at the letter of withdrawal of engagement in Xiaobai's hand.

"Really?"

Princess Lengli and her personal maid Xiaobai exclaimed almost at the same time.

Originally, it was thought that Bai Qi and the Bai family wanted to marry into the Phoenix family, and would never cancel the marriage arranged by His Majesty, so when Bai Qi said this, it was hard to believe.

"Of course!"

Bai Qi said without hesitation.

"What if you win?"

Princess Lengli was not stupid either, and she thought about it.

"If I win..., haha, we'll talk about it then."

Bai Qi raised his head and glanced at Princess Lengli. When he saw the latter's hesitant expression, he suddenly smiled:

"You are a great martial arts master, and I am just a small warrior. There is a huge difference in our strength. You don't have no confidence and dare not even agree to this, right?"

"Nonsense! Okay, I promise you."

Princess Lengli could not help but say angrily. Although she knew that this was a provocation, her self-esteem would never allow her to be afraid of a fight.

Bai Qi is in the limelight. Although she has obtained a king-level martial soul, her talent is also recognized as strong among the princes and princesses, not to mention that Bai Qi's current cultivation level is not even worthy of carrying her shoes.

"Okay, it's a deal! The fight will be held in four months."

When talking about four months, a barely perceptible cunning gleam appeared in Bai Qi's eyes.

"Four months...?"

Princess Lengli frowned, instinctively thinking that it was taking too long, but soon raised her head and said:

"Okay, I promise you."

Humph, so what in four months? Trash is trash. She didn't believe that Bai Qi, a trash, could surpass her in four months. If he could really do it, she would admit that he was a genius.

"let's go."

Princess Lengli waved her jade hand and quickly left with everyone.

"Hehe, it's really easy to get rid of it."

Bai Qi looked at the backs of Princess Lengli and others as they left, smiled, then turned and walked towards the carriage where Nanny Zhao was.

"Mr. Bai, you are quite courageous. Princess Lengli is recognized as a gifted person. It would take even four years to defeat her, let alone four months."

Nanny Zhao said this with a hint of advice in her voice.

"Thank you, Aunt Zhao, but don't worry, I will definitely be able to defeat her in four months."

Bai Qi waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

Four months..., that's the day the Heavenly Book said he would have a head-on duel with the destiny villain!

If he could survive from the destined villain by then, then capturing a little Princess Lengli would be no problem at all.

If he was unlucky and died at the hands of the destined villain, then he would naturally have to ignore the duel with Princess Lengli.

"Ambitious."

Nanny Zhao didn't know Bai Qi's plan, but seeing Bai Qi's confident and calm demeanor, she couldn't help but nodded, with a hint of admiration.

"Since you have already made up your mind, I will not say more. Let's go see the queen."

Yonghe Palace, where Consort Zhao of the Yuan Dynasty lived.

The hall is magnificent and splendid, with curtains everywhere and many precious porcelains with plum blossom branches inserted in them. The smoke from the exquisite incense burners is curling, fresh and elegant, filling the void and making people feel relaxed and happy.

There are many poems and paintings by masters hanging on the walls of the hall. Even the poem that Bai Qi presented to the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty in the Taishi Hall is hung among them. It not only shows Concubine Zhao's love for excellent poems, but also shows the favor of the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty to Concubine Zhao.

"Bai Qi has met his stepmother."

Deep in the hall, Bai Qi finally saw his adoptive mother, Concubine Zhao, and bowed respectfully.

On the throne, Concubine Zhao was wearing a green silk gown embroidered with a phoenix. She looked graceful and elegant, and her every move naturally exuded an aura of nobility.

Seeing Bai Qi bowing, Concubine Zhao's face was full of smiles, exuding a sense of closeness from the heart. She stood up and supported Bai Qi, looking him up and down like a mother looking at her child, unable to contain her joy.

"You are so polite to your stepmother. You don't have to be polite when you come in next time."

"Such a big incident happened in Wuhun Valley yesterday. I heard that you were also in it. I was really scared. Let me see if you are injured. Chun'er, bring the pill over and let the young master take it first."

A well-behaved palace maid came up quickly, holding a brocade box.

The brocade box was opened, revealing two golden pills the size of pigeon eggs, exuding a refreshing fragrance that was clearly no ordinary item.
