Chapter 91: Prevailing Scheme (1/2)
After arriving at the reception pavilion, Bai Luochu understood that it was going to be a serious discussion when Pei Qingfeng dismissed everyone.
“Alright, speak. What are you here for?” Bai Luochu was the first to speak.
“What’s wrong? Can’t I look for you when I’m bored? If I say that I am looking for you because I miss you, will you believe me?” Pei Qingfeng opened up his folding fan and acted all romantic.
Bai Luochu was a little creeped out and replied, “Your Highness, your joke isn’t funny. Please conduct yourself properly… People might misunderstand.”
When Pei Qingfeng saw that Bai Luochu was still as indifferent as before, he couldn’t help but feel a little defeated. After all, he was one of the most eligible bachelors in the capital city. Moreover, he wasn’t a womanizer like his Third Brother... How could Bai Luochu not develop any feelings for him?
But now wasn’t the time for this matter as there were more important things to speak about.
“Did you find out all that you had to know?” Pei Qingfeng asked abruptly. Others might not understand, but Bai Luochu understood the meaning behind Pei Qingfeng’s words.
It seemed like Pei Qingfeng had also carried out a secret investigation on her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t ask her that question.
“En, Pei Rumo told me everything. I came back in order to find the truth. I am going to investigate the reason behind my appearance in the Bestial Battle Arena.”
“Will you investigate even if the answer is a cruel one?”
“That’s right, no matter how cruel it is, I am still going to get to the bottom of it. Furthermore, I already roughly understand the situation. I am only trying to prove my conjecture.”
Pei Qingfeng shook his head. This lass was really obstinate and stubborn. She only roughly knew what was going on, yet, she willingly entered the tiger’s den.
“From what I saw today, you don’t seem to be doing too well...”
“This is something you don’t have to bother yourself with.” Bai Luochu heard this statement and knew that Pei Qingfeng probably wanted to offer his assistance. She might not know the reason he was always trying to help her, but she didn’t wish to owe him anything. It was simply part of her nature.
“Nonsense! I can’t just leave you to your own devices. In the future, I will still have to depend on Divine Physician Bai to treat the poison in my body? What if you fall into the schemes of these vile people? Won’t everything go down the drain? I’ll be the good guy who helps you out and if something happens to me, I hope that Divine Physician Bai will remember our friendship and offer your help.”
