Chapter 407: Recklessness

Xue Wei's face darkened. "Did you accept the edict?" he asked, his voice dangerously low.

"We did not, but they plasted it on our door where it has been since then," Lin Xiao said with a sigh.

"And the Emperor has said nothing?" Xue Wei was full of anger now. He had sacrificed blood to create so many mutated beasts for them, and the thanks he was getting was his little sister forced into marriage?

"I don't think he is aware of it," Hei Gou answered. "No one has seen the Emperor since you returned home."

"Let us go and find them," Xue Wei said, dragging all his friends with him out of the courtyard, only to find that there was a group of royal guards stationed outside.

"The Empress has ordered that no one is to leave the courtyard before the wedding," one of the guards said, his face full of menace.

"Either we leave, or you bring the Emperor here right at this moment," Xue Wei said, but all he was answered was a laughter from the royal guard.
