Chapter 72: Seeking the Truth (1/2)

In fact, the guard was right. When Bai Luochu returned to the residence, she didn’t even bother about dinner and immediately shut herself inside her chamber. Even when Zi Su delivered dinner, Bai Luochu stopped her outside and said that she had something important to think about. Zi Su was asked to leave in order to avoid disturbing her thoughts.

When Zi Su saw how Bai Luochu was behaving, she thought that something big had happened. She quickly sought a meeting with the First Prince in the study room. After she reported everything, Pei Rumo responded as though there was nothing wrong. “There is no need to worry. Just let her be. I don’t think she is in the mood to have dinner today. You just have to prepare a little more breakfast tomorrow.”

Zi Su saw that her lord obviously knew what happened and he wasn’t anxious at all. Hence, she felt relieved and returned to her quarters. She would wait for Bai Luochu to look for her before she went over.

At this very moment, Bai Luochu took out a piece of paper and a brush. She wrote down everything she knew about herself and she thought about the reason why she appeared in the Bestial Battle Arena the moment she reincarnated.

Since she was the First Young Lady of the former general's residence, there had to be someone who knew about her identity. Why did the Bestial Battle Arena accept her as a human slave? Why did they allow a wastrel like her to battle against beasts in the arena? She wasn’t battling against beasts! They were simply human targets waiting to be slaughtered.

The backer of the Bestial Battle Arena was the Battle Devil Sect whose reputation was comparable to the Phoenix King Valley. If she thought about it in this way, she was probably thrown into the Bestial Battle Arena by Feng Wan’er. It should be because of the hatred Feng Wan’er had for her due to her love of the Third Prince. In the end, everything was related to Pei Wuchen.

However, the amount of people who knew about the engagement shouldn’t be more than a handful. Why would Feng Wan’er get to know about it? It seemed as though there were deeper complications.

If this matter started with Pei Rumo, it wouldn’t make sense either as it wasn’t really related to him. She had been staying in the residence during this period of time and she might have been a slave, but she was leading a rather good life. Pei Rumo had intentions to allow her to constantly grow stronger and enter the eyes of the Third Prince and the Emperor, making them unable to call off the engagement. All of Pei Wuchen’s scheme would turn to dust the moment this happened. It was impossible for Pei Rumo to be the cause of her troubles.

Right now, she couldn’t make heads or tails of the matter. After all, she didn’t know anything regarding the original owner of her body. If she wanted to know more, there was no way she could avoid going back to the general’s residence. Since she was aware of her true identity, she couldn’t live off the First Prince any longer.

It seemed like she would have to look for Pei Rumo the very next day as he was probably the one who was the clearest about this matter.

It was already deep into the night when Bai Luochu sorted out her thoughts. It was already time to sleep and she called Zi Su over.

“Young Lady, did you run into any trouble today? You have been frowning ever since you returned. You locked yourself in your room without eating dinner as well...” When Zi Su saw Bai Luochu burdened with worries, she couldn’t help but ask.

“Nothing much. I discovered my true identity and realized that I am currently a rather important chess piece in the Cloud Water Nation.” Bai Luochu looked outside the window and muttered.

“Young Lady, what are you talking about? This servant doesn’t understand anything.” When Zi Su heard Bai Luochu’s extremely profound words, she couldn’t wrap her head around what was happening.
