Chapter 13: Assassin in the Residence (1/2)
When Zi Su was being questioned, she panicked a little. Bai Luochu might have a brilliant smile on her face, but looking at the smile on her face that didn’t seem like a smile, Zi Su felt a chill run down her spine.
“Young Lady… Young Lady, please don’t be angry. Be it my Lord or everyone in the residence, none of us have any evil intentions towards you!” Zi Su quickly explained.
“I know that. I am still able to differentiate between good and bad and if anyone has any evil intentions towards me. I want to know… who is your Lord. You can tell me that, right?”
Bai Luochu picked up some vegetables and had a taste. The flavor was rather good and the texture was brilliant.
“My Lord? This…” Zi Su hesitated and didn’t know if she was allowed to reveal the information.
Looking at Zi Su’s expression, Bai Luochu smiled and casually said, “You only need to tell me his position in the imperial clan.”
“Young Lady, you…” Zi Su stared blankly and a look of astonishment appeared in her eyes. Looking at how the confident look on Bai Luochu’s face, she realized that she had still underestimated the lady in front of her.
“Since Young Lady already brought up the Imperial Princes, you should already have some suspicions in your heart. My Lord… My Lord is the current Imperial Clan’s First Prince, Pei Rumo. I didn’t mention it because I was afraid Young Lady might be over-anxious and develop an unfavourable impression of my Lord. If this servant made Young Lady unhappy by concealing this information, I seek your forgiveness!” Zi Su took a deep breath and explained earnestly.
A multitude of thoughts flew through Zi Su’s mind and she became a little terrified. On the other hand, Bai Luochu sighed with relief when she found out the identity of the Lord.
First Prince? Bai Luochu wasn’t acquainted with such a figure in her previous life. The relationship between the First Prince and herself was probably developed by the original owner of her body. However, for the original owner to be sold as a slave and thrown into the Bestial Battle Arena… what kind of relationship could she possibly have with the First Prince of the Imperial Clan?
How could a random slave be of any use to the First Prince?
“I was rude. I was too paranoid and I shouldn’t have frightened you.”
After Bai Luochu finished her dinner, she allowed Zi Su to leave and rest early after apologizing for scaring her just a moment ago. In the end, Bai Luochu didn’t want anyone to observe her when she used the ancient inheritance’s secret technique to cultivate.
The moment Zi Su carried the food boxes out of her room, Bai Luochu immediately entered the bedroom to resume her cultivation.
However, Bai Luochu’s spiritual energy was considered much more powerful than a regular person. Sound almost indiscernible to some people was crystal clear in Bai Luochu’s ear.
Maybe because she was too tired from her cultivation session in the day, or maybe because she had been unable to sleep peacefully during her days in the Bestial Battle Arena… Bai Luochu was sound asleep and she only stirred when she heard the commotion coming from outside.
“Are there assassins in the residence?” Bai Luochu muttered softly. She might have been a little dazed because she was sleeping, as she didn’t consider too much before wearing her shoes to leave the room. She wanted to take a closer look at the battle happening in the courtyard.
