Chapter 85: Change of Plans (1/2)

When Bai Luochu heard the news, she was astonished but she immediately calmed down. Ying Lan had always been dependable and since he could calmly report on this matter, everything should have already been solved.

When Bai Luochu thought about this, a wave of relief washed over her and she asked, “Has this matter been resolved?”

Ying Lan pondered for a moment and nodded prudently before replying, “After that person noticed me, we didn’t break out into a conflict. He didn’t ask about my identity either. It seemed like he was ensuring your safe return to the general’s residence.”

Bai Luochu contemplated for a moment after hearing the information. Confirming my return to the general’s residence? Who could it be? If it is the member of the Phoenix King Valley responsible for my disappearance, my time in the general’s residence is going to be more difficult from now on.

“Do you know who that is?” Bai Luochu’s brows arched upwards as she asked.

Ying Lan shook his head before asking, “Not yet. Do you need this subordinate to carry out a detailed investigation?”

“Not necessary. The major powers in the Cloud Water Nation are locked in a complicated situation. Adding on the fact that the Phoenix King Valley is currently messing around here, it won’t be easy to dig anything out. If you are discovered at this critical juncture, all our plans will go down the drain. It is still better to be cautious.”

“But…”

Ying Lan was interrupted by Bai Luochu just as he wanted to say something, “I know you are worried about my safety, but I cannot put you at risk either. If you are surrounded by the members of the Phoenix King Valley again like last time, there might no longer be anyone to rescue you. The First Prince knows about my true identity and I have an unfinished deal with him. The person who discovered you should be related to him… There is no need to be overly concerned.”

Bai Luochu patted Ying Lan’s shoulder in an attempt to calm him down.

When Ying Lan saw how insistent Bai Luochu was, he couldn’t say anything else and quickly departed.

After Ying Lan left, Bai Luochu laid down on the bed and carefully analyzed the situation in her mind. Who was the person investigating her? After being unable to come up with an answer, Bai Luochu fell asleep.

The next morning, before the sun rose, Bai Luochu woke up and started to cultivate.

The current Bai Luochu had well-developed meridians and experienced a significant increase in strength. She was now able to cultivate like other individuals who had exceptional talent. After cultivating for two hours, she felt that she was about to break through a small barrier in her cultivation.

Just as Bai Luochu was preparing to break through this barrier before breakfast, someone knocked on the door.

“Who is that?”

“Young Lady, this old servant is here to serve you. Are you up yet?”
