An empty, deserted courtyard.
Wei Xiaobao stood in the middle of the yard.
Witnessing Eunuch Xi and overhearing his conversation with Wu Dafu had left Wei Xiaobao in a foul mood.
Anyone with eyes could see that Wu Dafu was willing to trade him away just to earn a personal favor from Xi Qing.
While they spoke of leaving the decision up to Xiaobao himself, everyone in the imperial palace knew that unranked eunuchs like Wei Xiaobao were mere beasts of burden, nothing more than ants whose personal wishes meant absolutely nothing.
At that moment, fury burned inside Wei Xiaobao.
His inner qi surged within his Dantian qi ocean, kicking up monstrous waves, while an endless killing intent flooded his Consciousness Sea, pushing him to the brink of losing control.
He longed to strike out immediately and slaughter everyone in sight.
It took almost every ounce of his strength to hold himself back from rushing out.
Finally, taking advantage of the chaotic crowd, he slipped away and made his way to this abandoned, empty palace.
