Chapter 116: Confrontation Again (1/2)

Bai Luochu spent the entire morning immersed in her spiritual energy cultivation. It was much more exhausting to cultivate spiritual energy than spirit qi. Right now, Bai Luochu was famished. She didn’t say anything else and started to devour her lunch.

Ying Lan saw that Bai Luochu didn’t object and made his way out of the room. He then prepared to ask someone to deliver the letter. However, after he thought about it, he realized that it was better for him to personally make the trip. He then pulled a waiter over and asked him to deliver a message to Bai Luochu.

“Young Lady, Commander Ying asked me to deliver a message for him. He said that the matter of cooperation is a serious matter and he has to make the trip personally. If Young Lady has other important matters after lunch, you don’t have to wait for Commander Ying to get back..” That waiter knocked on the door before entering to pass Bai Luochu Ying Lan’s message.

Bai Luochu was startled at first and she almost forgot to chew her food. But she suddenly realized something and it seemed as though she understood something. She then informed the waiter, “I understand, you can go back to work now.”

When the waiter saw that Bai Luochu had a deadpan expression on her face, he took his leave. He closed the door tightly and returned to the main hall to carry on working. After all, it was lunchtime and there were plenty of customers who were there for lunch.

When the waiter had walked far away, Bai Luochu let out a long sigh and thought that Ying Lan was becoming more and more like an old woman.

Bai Luochu understood that Ying Lan didn’t personally head over due to his anxiousness over the so-called ‘serious matter’. She knew that with his cautious personality, he would head over and threaten the other party in order to force him to back off on his own accord. If he wasn’t able to do so, he wanted to beat up the silver-haired man to avoid malicious thoughts from appearing in his head.

Ying Lan was ultimately a servant who served Bai Luochu in her previous life and she was spot on when predicting Ying Lan’s actions. Ying Lan was currently heading towards the silver-haired man’s courtyard. A simple task of delivering a letter wasn’t something he was inclined to do personally. However, he had his plans. He was strolling slowly because he wanted to stall for time in order to think of a strategy. As he thought about how he was going to deal with the silver-haired man, a ball of anger started to well up in Ying Lan’s heart. He started to regret his actions. If he knew that this was going to happen, he wouldn’t have been so rash. He would have stopped himself from rushing off before his mistress finished her lunch before coming up with a perfect strategy to deal with the silver-haired man.

His thoughts ran wild and before he knew it, he arrived at the entrance of the silver-haired man’s courtyard before he was able to think of a perfect strategy. He drew back his hand that was about to knock on the door several times. Just as Ying Lan was preparing to walk several rounds around the city before returning to the Remote Paddy Inn, the door suddenly opened from the inside.

“Eh? Why are you standing in front of my entrance? Have you reported to your Master? Did he agree?” That silver-haired man looked at Ying Lan and asked intentionally. In fact, he already knew the answer to his question.

When Ying Lan saw that his hand was still stretched out with the intention to knock the door, he knew that he wasn’t going to escape this round of questioning. He was like a fully drawn bow, with no way out. He couldn’t do anything but to release the bowstring.
