Chapter 364 Great-ancestor-level Half-spirit Beast
Ou Yangming did not know much about carriages back then. To him, a carriage was considered decent if it had seats inside.
Nonetheless, after that night, he had a deeper understanding of influential people’s transportations. Therefore, he could now tell at one glance the rough ident.i.ty of a carriage’s owner.
Besides, even if Ou Yangming knew nothing about other carriages, he was familiar with this particular carriage. He had barged into this carriage that night, resulting in a series of uncontrollable events. ‘Her Royal Highness left the capital?’
Wu Hanning was not an ordinary princess; she was brought up as the top genius among the younger generation in the imperial family. Given that she could ask the family’s supreme elder to borrow the secret realm’s power, one could imagine her status in the family. According to Ou Yangming’s observation and inquiries through indirect approaches, he even suspected that the imperial family had internally decided that Wu Hanning would inherit the supreme elder’s position. If that was true, she would become the Humans’ strongest powerhouse after Wu Yuanwei—the present supreme elder-pa.s.sed away.
The imperial family was the only party in this realm that could offer a boundary beyond a Supreme Great Ancestor, but they could only guarantee the birth of one supreme powerhouse.
A figure like that would not be as important as Wu Yuanwei, but would not be far off.
Theoretically, Wu Hanning had to keep watch over the capital like Wu Yuanwei by observing the changes in the world in silence. However, she had just left the capital, and judging from her carriage’s path, she seemed to be traveling together with the 2,000-people convoy. Bai s.h.i.+xue scoffed and remarked softly, “Brother Ou, you’re incredibly charming! Her Royal Highness has even put aside her reputation for you!”
One would be accused of slandering the imperial family by saying that, hence she spoke so softly that Ou Yangming was the only one who could hear her.
“Don’t speak nonsense,” Ou Yangming responded softly and glared at her. He glanced at the capital and the sky, then he gestured to her to be careful. Following that, the young fellow patted the horse and went away.
‘This young fella still cares for me,’ Bai s.h.i.+xue thought as she curled her lips into a faint smile. As she waved her hand, her carriage caught up to the convoy and joined the rest. As for Ou Yangming, when he arrived in front of the 100-person army, he noticed a familiar face.
It was Wu Haohan. During the Myriad Treasure Meet, his Simulated Spiritual Fist Technique was secretly learned by Ou Yangming, but he was blessed by the setback and advanced to the peak of Yang Grade in the end.
It was evident from his armor and position that he was the leader of the army.
Wu Haohan immediately cupped his hands when he saw Ou Yangming, and he greeted the young fellow loudly, “Good day, Master Ou.”
Ou Yangming nodded and looked at the eye-striking carriage, then he lowered his voice and asked, “Brother Wu, what’s going on?”
“What?” Wu Haohan was surprised.
“Why did Her Royal Highness leave the capital?” Ou Yangming looked up and questioned snappily.
Wu Haohan answered seriously, “Her Highness is feeling bored in the capital, so she reported to His Majesty and is going out for a trip.”
Ou Yangming was dubious. “Where is Her Highness going for a trip?” “Hehe.” Wu Haohan could not help but laugh. “Her Highness did not specify it, so she’ll simply follow her heart.”
“Her Highness’s destination isn’t going to be the same as mine, is it?” Ou Yangming stopped himself from rolling his eyes.
Wu Haohan responded without any hesitation, “That’s not necessarily the case. The world is ma.s.sive, after all, so it’s unlikely that you’ll meet. Having said that, if you do meet each other, it’s certainly fate!”
Ou Yangming did not know to cry or to laugh when he looked at the unsmiling Wu Haohan. He stole another glance at the carriage. They were not speaking softly, hence the young fellow was sure that Wu Hanning heard them clearly, but she did not intend to pull the curtains apart at all.
As bold as Ou Yangming was, he would not have the guts to barge into the carriage this time.
He felt extremely helpless.
‘I already have a splitting headache because the smart little fox joined us. Now that Her Highness is also coming with us…
‘How should I introduce them to Yinghong once we arrive at Changlong County?’ Ou Yangming’s head ached more when he thought about that.
Wu Haohan commented softly all of a sudden, “Consort, Her Highness is only worried about you, so you mustn’t make her sad!”
Ou Yangming was stunned. He glared hatefully at the man, then he squeezed his horse with his legs to go off.
He knew while Wu Hanning was a lady, she was much more resolute than most men in the world. Since she left the capital regardless of the consequences, n.o.body could change her mind.
‘If that’s the case, I can only take one step at a time.
‘Everything will turn out to be alright; I just hope it won’t be terrible.’
Nevertheless, Ou Yangming knew his return to Changlong County would surely stir up a sensation like never before.
