1917: Touch and Go

Touch and Go

Ranmil smiled bitterly. "Obviously, the first one will be Sefiro, my sister. Please don't be mad at me."1

"No, of course not."

There were six places; of course she needed to give one to her own sister.

"The second will be…"

She looked around in a seemingly troubled manner before her gaze landed on Master Jue.

"Master Jue is a very capable man and my good friend. I have to pick him."

Yes, Master Jue was indeed very capable. The others didn't like it, but they managed not to say anything.

Seeing that there were only four places left, Feng Liu and the others began to worry.

Ranmil then looked at the second prince.

She smiled and said, "Your Royal Highness, you are as prestigious as you are capable. I wonder if you would like to be on my team?"

Immediately, everyone looked at him.

After all, he was the second son of Emperor Wu, and Empress Dugu was his mother. Therefore, Ranmil had to show him respect.

The second prince… Feng Liu and the others didn't like it, but they couldn't say anything.

The second prince smiled.

Actually, he had always been convinced that he was the most talented teenager, second only to Jun Linyuan. Thus, he had thought that the ghost king would choose him as the captain.

It had never occurred to him that Ranmil would be chosen first.

Who would choose to die if they had the choice to live?

So, the second prince suppressed his resentment, smiled a little, and nodded at Ranmil.

That was a yes.

The others grew uneasy.

Ranmil, Sefiro, Master Jue, and the seventh prince… Four out of the seven places were gone, and there were only three left.

Who would Ranmil give those three to?

Those chosen would owe Ranmil their lives.

Ranmil smiled and looked at Feng Wu.

"Miss Feng Wu, will you join my team?"

Ssss —

Many drew in their breaths.

What happened to Ranmil? Why would she choose Feng Wu? Wouldn't it be nice if they just let her die here?

Both Feng Liu and Dugu Yamo stared at Ranmil in disbelief.

At the same time.

Ranmil smiled at Feng Wu, looking as innocent and naive as ever.

Feng Wu smiled back at her.

One could almost feel the sparks between them that were ready to explode at any moment.

The air seemed to freeze, and no one said a word as they looked at the two girls, who were at loggerheads.

Ranmil was very pleased with herself, because she was doing everything aboveboard.

Since Feng Wu had tricked her and forced her hand, she was going to give Feng Wu that chance and see what she would do.

If Feng Wu said yes, she would be accused of being shameless.

If Feng Wu said no, she was choosing to die herself, and Ranmil would have nothing to do with it.

Ranmil smiled brightly.

Feng Wu's smile grew wider as well.

"What if I say no?"

Feng Wu spoke unhurriedly.

Ranmil put on a surprised face and said sincerely, "Princess Feng Wu, the ghost king just said —"
