Chapter 47: The Whole Story (1/2)

“How is it? Did you find anything?” Pei Qingfeng had a calm expression on his face as his brows were slightly raised into the air.

He saw this black-clothed man nod repeatedly before replying, “This subordinate didn’t fail Your Second Highness and investigated everything thoroughly.”

When Pei Qingfeng heard these words, he immediately waved his hand, indicating for the guard to stand guard at the entrance to not let anyone approach. If anything happened outside, the guard could also report to him immediately. This time, he asked for the investigation of a person who was a mystery and it was better to be prudent.

When the guard saw Pei Qingfeng’s indication, he quickly pushed Pei Qingfeng behind the study table to face the black-clothed man. He quickly took his leave and closed the doors tightly as though he wanted to prevent any sound from escaping the study room. After doing everything, he stood still at the entrance and fulfilled his role as a competent guard.

“Report everything you investigated in detail. We are in the residence now and there is no need to bother if others might be listening.” Pei Qingfeng placed his elbow on the table and used his hand to support his face. Others might think that he wasn’t paying attention but the black-clothed man understood that his master wanted to know everything, down to the slightest detail. He didn’t dare to be careless.

“Reporting to Your Highness. The person you ordered this subordinate to investigate goes by the name of Luo Chu. She is the only daughter of the former military great general. In order to rescue the late Emperor, the general and his wife had sacrificed their lives. Due to the late Emperor’s fond memories of the great general’s loyalty and favor, he betrothed the then baby Luo Chu to the current Third Prince, who is also known as Pei Wuchen. This betrothal was something that disappeared in the annals of time and only His Majesty and the Third Prince remembers it.”

Betrothal to the Third Prince?

“Alright, I understand. Apart from that, did you find out anything else?” Pei Qingfeng nodded and asked again. He wanted to know everything.

The black-clothed man naturally didn’t dare to neglect Pei Qingfeng and carried on his report. “About a month ago, Young Lady Luo Chu who should have been in the residence suddenly appeared in the Bestial Battle Arena. Furthermore… she appeared as a female slave.”

Speaking up to this point, the black-clothed man inevitably paused a little. After all, the Luo Chu he was speaking about was considered a descendant of a martyr. Even if she wasn’t a part of the elite noble clans in the capital, she shouldn’t fall into slavery. Moreover, the person who sent Luochu into slavery was someone no one would suspect.

“She was originally about to be eaten by a spirit beast, but she suddenly woke up. She, who was originally helpless, immediately killed that spirit beast. In the next few battles, she would win the battles one by one. It seems like she changed into a completely different person.”

“There is also another thing. After she woke up in the arena, it seemed like… her soul had left her body. Not only did she forget everything in the past, her character also changed drastically. Half a month ago, she was bought by the First Prince from the Bestial Battle Arena. As for the things that happened afterwards, Your Highness already knows everything.”
