Chapter 228: The Whole Story (1/2)

Ming Lu asked in a careful manner, “Then... Master, after doing so much, are we giving up on them?”

Pei Rumo’s eyes were still staring into the distance but the corners of his mouth curled upwards. “Give up? How can we possibly give up? Wait and see. If Ying Lan’s side doesn’t work, we can work on the other side.”

Ming Lu looked at the profound smile on his master’s face and felt that there was something wrong. “Other side? Which other side is related to the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence?”

“Our Divine Physician Bai had been walking rather closely with them. Of course the other side refers to the general’s residence.” Pei Rumo went back to dealing with the imperial notices.

The First Prince’s residence might have regained its calm, but the Remote Paddy Inn was extremely lively.

Guan Yue and Meng Luoping had been waiting for Ying Lan’s return at Remote Paddy Inn. After waiting for a long time, they were all feeling somewhat nervous. Guan Yue might be a composed individual, but he heard stories about Pei Rumo. He wasn’t able to sit still anymore and was preparing to visit the First Prince’s residence to ask for Ying Lan’s release. If they weren’t going to release Ying Lan, he was prepared to kill his way out together with Ying Lan.

Meng Luoping carefully observed the situation and dissuaded Guan Yue. “What are you doing? If you head over there and die, Master will peel off a layer of my skin!”

“What am I doing? I am obviously going to rescue our Palace Master. Am I supposed to wait for Ying Lan to be delivered back in a coffin?” In Guan Yue’s opinion, Pei Rumo was a tyrannical person. Seeing as how Ying Lan hadn’t returned after such a long time, Guan Yue started to worry.

Guan Yue was about to charge out of the Remote Paddy Inn but Meng Luoping held him back and didn’t allow Guan Yue to leave no matter what. Just as the two of them were about to fight, the door opened.

Ying Lan already had a lot to think about after leaving the First Prince’s residence. When he saw that the two of them were about to break out into blows, he felt a throbbing pain in his head. He rubbed his temples and asked, “What are the two of you fighting over?”

The moment the doors opened, Meng Luoping and Guan Yue froze in their position. Now that Ying Lan was back, there was no longer a need to fight.
