Chapter 120: Pei Qingfeng’s Intention (1/2)
“What is that lass busy with recently?” Pei Qingfeng placed the teacup in his hand onto the table and asked unhurriedly.
The Second Prince's residence might not be as lively as the First Prince's residence, but they were also silently paying attention to the general’s residence.
“Apart from the constant fights against her cousin, she has been hiding in her room and cultivating nonstop. She is living rather comfortably and I think that her life will be better off without her cousin stirring trouble.” Pei Qingfeng’s personal guard replied according to what they found out.
With Pei Qingfeng’s understanding of Bai Luochu, he knew in his heart that this lass wouldn’t behave herself like how everyone would like her to. Hence, he asked another question.
“That’s it?” He might be asking a question, but his tone was rather firm.
When the guard saw the confident expression on his master’s face, he understood that Pei Qingfeng already knew of Bai Luochu’s true intention. Right now, he was merely asking them a question he already had an answer to.
“Does my lord know about the recent rumors from the capital, regarding the Falling Cloud Mountain Range?”
Pei Qingfeng looked up as though he had no intention to look at his personal guard. He nodded as an indication that he knew about the rumor.
“It is said that this rumor originated from the Remote Paddy Inn and apparently, the news came from the mouths of the Phoenix King Valley’s disciples after drinking too much. But Young Lady Luo Chu seems to be rather familiar with the people of the Remote Paddy Inn. This subordinate is bold enough to guess that Young Lady Luo Chu already knows of this. She should be preparing to make a trip to the Falling Cloud Mountain Range. I reckon that she is having some ideas about the Green Flame Eagle. This should also be the reason why she is locking herself up to cultivate.”
Pei Qingfeng smiled and asked, “Are you trying to say that the lass wants to be involved in this mess? How can she do something that doesn’t benefit her? She has no one around her to provide assistance and if she is truly planning to do so, she’s going to throw her life away.” After finishing his statement, Pei Qingfeng shook his head helplessly and seemed to sigh at Bai Luochu’s fearlessness.
His personal guard obviously didn’t dare to say the bolder conjecture in his heart. His guess was that Bai Luochu was starting a faction of her own.
Pei Qingfeng muttered for a moment before asking again, “Shall we go and join in the fun?” Of course he was referring to heading over to the Falling Cloud Mountain Range.
