Chapter 126: Volunteering (1/2)
Everyone present understood what Ying Lan meant. He was afraid that his master might no longer possess any authority in the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence in the future. But in everyone’s heart, it was already an extraordinary matter for Bai Luochu to convince so many of them to join the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence. In their eyes, a person like Bai Luochu who was proficient in medical skills, adept at schemes, together with the fact that she had otherworldly wisdom, it truly seemed like she was an existence close to the gods. Apart from the fact that her cultivation was slightly weaker, the rest of her attributes were flawless.
After Bai Luochu helped Ying Lan up, she carried on, “As for the rest of the matters, they shall all be handed over to Ying Lan. I will only be taking charge of the specific arrangements for the trip to the Falling Cloud Mountain Range.”
When Bai Luochu saw that no one had any opinions, she continued speaking.
“Since Guan Yue has pointed out two routes, let us not waste his efforts. We have to make good use of his suggestion. According to my plan, Ying Lan shall lead a team and use the route that brings them on a detour to the back of the mountain. I will lead a team to take the narrow path. Splitting up will ensure that there shall be no delays even if one of the teams encounters some mishap. We will be leaving behind a few individuals to take care of the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence.”
“Who is Divine Physician Bai planning to pick for the trip to the Falling Cloud Mountain Range? Who will be in charge of taking care of the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence in your absence?” The one who spoke was the scholar-looking man. He was in charge of the teahouse and it was obvious that he had some prestige among this group of people. When he spoke, he addressed the question in everyone’s mind.
Bai Luochu looked at Ying Lan and saw that he also had an awkward expression on his face. She hastily spoke up in order to alleviate the awkward atmosphere. “We will respect everyone’s opinion on this matter. Is there anyone who doesn’t wish to go to the Falling Cloud Mountain Range? You may voice out your opinions now. I will not force anyone to head over.”
Just as Bai Luochu’s voice fell, a few of the ladies raised their hands immediately. As this was within Bai Luochu’s expectation, she didn’t say anything. The trip to the Falling Cloud Mountain Range was extremely dangerous without the Green Flame Eagle’s presence. With the Green Flame Eagle’s presence, the trip was exceptionally dangerous.
Bai Luochu raised her hand and indicated for everyone to lower their hand. Just as Bai Luochu was about to move on to the next step of the arrangement, she saw the scholar-looking man raising his hand.
Bai Luochu turned back and tilted her head slightly as though she was mulling over something. He saw that Bai Luochu was starting to become suspicious and he explained himself, “Although a man should aspire to travel far to make his mark, if Commander Ying is going to the Falling Cloud Mountain Range, there will be no one here to take care of the businesses in the capital city. Everyone’s cultivation is adequate and it won’t matter if I go. In terms of business matters, apart from Commander Ying, I am the next best individual. I thought of staying behind in order to make use of my abilities for the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence. I hope that Divine Physician Bai will understand and grant my request.”
Bai Luochu was shocked at his ability to see the big picture. She immediately agreed to his request.
“You are… Meng Luoping, right?” Bai Luochu asked the scholar-looking man.
