Chapter 999: Chapter 772: Terms of Exchange
“Is it you?”
Daisendari then faced Mu Fan and narrowed his eyes to size him up.
The cold gaze was like a fierce wolf in the prairie.
After scrutinizing Mu Fan, he snorted coldly and then respectfully bowed to Princess Yue Xi, “Princess, your teachings are always kept in mind by Daisendari.”
But after glancing at Mu Fan again, Daisendari said in a deep voice:
“Princess, when traveling outside, people’s hearts are treacherous. This opportunity is too coincidental, isn’t it? We are in New Moon City on Yunmei Star, which is over twenty light years away from Blue Capital Star. Appearing at the same place at the same time… Princess, what do you think the likelihood of that is?”
This weathered man spoke perfectly; even Mu Fan, upon first listen, felt he indeed had some motive for being there.
Princess Yue Xi looked bewildered but her eyes flashed a determination, and a clear, elegant voice rang out, “He harbors no malice, I can feel it, the Wood God has not warned me!”
Hmm?
Mu Fan keenly noted the term “Princess,” and even more, the term “Wood God.”
The enticingly pure blonde girl in front of him seemed to be a princess of Babon Duchy?
And he also noticed that the burly man surprisingly turned silent after hearing this.
“The human heart is unpredictable, Princess, have you forgotten our purpose?” Daisendari lowered his head and rumbled.
“I…” Princess Yue Xi sighed, a melancholy expression appeared, accompanied by the wilting of the recently bloomed White Banana Flower behind her.
The girl lifted her head to look at Mu Fan, with apologetic eyes, “Sorry, this is my guard Daisendari. I have matters to attend to and unfortunately cannot chat with you for long.”
Mu Fan smiled a bit, noting the girl’s sincere apology, and the guard’s wary and warning attitude. He shook his head, “That’s fine, please go ahead.”
No attempts to retain or ingratiate themselves.
Always standing there, neither humble nor overbearing.
Daisendari seemed to always believe Mu Fan was speaking with a mask on, snorted lightly, and then looked at Princess Yue Xi, “Princess, please go back and rest.”
Princess Yue Xi bowed her head, seemingly regaining a sense of loneliness, softly murmured agreement.
She apologized to Mu Fan once again before turning and walking away with Daisendari.
Mu Fan watched as the girl’s graceful figure left, then turned back to the flowers that wilted after the beauties’ departure.
They came here with a purpose, just as he did.
At this moment, from afar, Daisendari’s murmured warning seemed not to regard it as a secret, simply lowering the voice slightly.
Yet Mu Fan still clearly caught it, and his pupils instantly contracted to a point.
“…The auction tomorrow at New Moon Auction is quite early, Princess, you should rest early…”
“Understood…”
In his perception, Daisendari always resembled a huge furnace, yet his voice carried a man’s special exuberance.
While Princess Yue Xi’s aura seemed as if it never existed!
If not for that low reply, Mu Fan would have thought there was only Daisendari.
Mu Fan suddenly turned his head, “Wait!”
The two about to leave the observation platform stopped simultaneously.
Princess Yue Xi curiously looked back, her pointed ears playfully sticking out under the night lamp, a touch of confusion in her pure eyes.
Whereas Daisendari’s eyes showed deep vigilance; he even stepped forward to block Princess Yue Xi.
“Daisendari, you’re blocking me.”
The delicate and pale hand stretched out from one side, and tried pushing the big man aside, Princess Yue Xi peeked out again, her ethereal voice softly querying, “What’s wrong?”
Daisendari’s face was filled with discontent, but he couldn’t use force on Princess Yue Xi, only black-faced and unhappily said, “Princess Yue Xi, you are of noble standing, how can you be so reckless.”
Then straightened up, towering over Mu Fan, eyes cold, “Finally willing to reveal your purpose?”
Mu Fan’s gaze was calm, without responding to Daisendari’s question, but he looked at the girl and asked seriously, “Yue Xi, are you going to New Moon Auction tomorrow?”
“Why not dare to answer!”
Daisendari protected Princess Yue Xi with one hand, pointed to Mu Fan with the other, sternly shouting, his fierce gaze already firmly locked onto Mu Fan.
And Princess Yue Xi, somewhat puzzled, said, “Yes… what’s up?”
Mu Fan’s actions were indeed somewhat out of the ordinary, yet Princess Yue Xi still didn’t sense malice from him, so she was quite willing to answer.
Mu Fan’s originally troubled thoughts seemed all thrown away at this moment.
Iron shoes broken without finding a path!
His chest slightly heaving, Mu Fan’s eyes appeared exceptionally bright, fearlessly meeting Daisendari’s increasingly impatient gaze, one hand on his chest.
“Mighty Warrior, I am Mu Fan, first-year student of Mecha Department at Dingchuan Academy.”
At this moment, Mu Fan, full of etiquette, made Daisendari somewhat taken aback, as it did not match his expectations.
Yet this still couldn’t diminish his dislike for Mu Fan in his heart.
Then Mu Fan looked at Princess Yue Xi, now that graceful beauty calmly observing him with an exquisite profile.
“I came here wanting to attend the auction held by New Moon Auction tomorrow, there’s an item I must obtain! However, we haven’t received an invitation to this auction.” Mu Fan quickly stated his situation.
“So you plan to get involved with Princess Yue Xi? Why add a variable to an originally secure matter?”
Daisendari snorted, stepped forward to overlook Mu Fan.
A huge shadow instantly enveloped him, Mu Fan looked up at this giant man, and then back at the girl.
“There’s something inside very important to me, truly. I’m willing to pay a price to exchange for a spot, an afternoon someone from New Moon Auction told me, can obtain admittance qualification from other invitees.” Mu Fan said sincerely, his gaze firm.
At this moment he resembled the scene when he vowed entrance to the academy… exactly the same.
Princess Yue Xi walked out from behind the burly Daisendari, blinked at Mu Fan, “Is that item very important?”
“Very important, you can propose any conditions.” Mu Fan said solemnly, yet drew a snort from the brawny man.
“Alright.” Princess Yue Xi’s pointed ears twitched slightly, gently replied.
“No!” Daisendari firmly clasped his hand, “Forgive the subordinate’s overstep, there’s no reason to invite unnecessary trouble. Furthermore, how can you agree so rashly.”
Princess Yue Xi didn’t respond to this complaint but seriously asked Mu Fan a question, “Any condition can be proposed?”
Mu Fan nodded, “Anything I can accomplish, all conditions are negotiable.”
Daisendari squinted coldly snorting: “What can you offer? Wealth, status, what surpasses Princess Yue Xi?”
“He has the skills taught by Dingchuan Academy.” Princess Yue Xi looked up at her guard, tenderly said, “Did you forget our reason for going to Ding Chuan?”
Hearing this, Daisendari bowed his head, saying no more.
The Duchy’s succession, Princess Yue Xi must acquire a team of her own. Seeking help from the Five Great Colleges, there’s undoubtedly an intent to connect Babon Duchy with Federation College.
Yet the proud Five Great Colleges all unanimously declined.
Transcendent colleges refuse to involve themselves in any unnecessary political intrigue.
