Chapter 229: Guan Yue’s Strategy (1/2)
“Why didn’t you tell us earlier? If Divine Physician Bai didn’t suggest it, are you preparing to suffer alone regardless of what happens to the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence and Divine Physician Bai?” Meng Luoping felt angry after hearing what Ying Lan said. It wasn’t because Ying Lan had failed to avoid Pei Rumo’s secret guard. He was angry because Ying Lan wasn’t treating them like brothers.
“It is fine. Things are already at this juncture and we can no longer go back. In my opinion, Pei Rumo has taken a liking to Divine Physician Bai’s medical skills. He feels that our Palace of Brilliance Resurgence has yet to establish ourselves firmly and he wants to recruit us in order to strengthen himself. He probably isn’t hostile towards us. Now that Ying Lan has rejected his offer, who will he target next?” Guan Yue looked at the agitated Meng Luoping and immediately mediated the situation by changing the subject.
Ying Lan contemplated for a moment before probing the both of them, “Do you mean... He will directly look for Mistress?”
Guan Yue nodded in response, “That’s right. In two days, Divine Physician Bai will definitely receive his invitation. There is no need to worry. Divine Physician Bai has never suffered a loss even after living in the First Prince’s residence for such a long time. The worst case scenario is for us to be stuck in a deadlock.”
“If it is truly as you say, the only thing we can do now is to take care of the business on our side. We have to allow Mistress to be at ease.” Meng Luoping gradually calmed down after hearing Guan Yue’s analysis and provided the most suitable solution.
Ying Lan nodded repeatedly as an indication that he had agreed. After some consideration, he spoke again, “Even so, Mistress has to know about this matter. It is already late and why don’t you both stay here for the night? I will make a trip to the general’s residence tomorrow morning.”
At this current moment, it was rather peaceful at Bai Luochu’s side. Bai Luochu had just completed her daily cultivation session. It was another useless day as she failed to breakthrough to the next level. As she racked her brains for a way to advance to the next level, a sneeze came out of the blue.
Cai Ling just happened to enter the room and she heard Bai Luochu sneezing. She quickly closed all the windows before complaining, “Mistress, this servant has already told you so many times to close the window when you cultivate at night. The weather is getting colder right now and you will definitely catch a cold if you refuse to take care of yourself. Look at yourself!” As Cai Ling criticized Bai Luochu, she took out a cloak from the wardrobe and covered Bai Luochu’s body.
“I am fine. There is no need to worry about me.” After she spoke, she started thinking of ways to break through.
“Silly girl, how can such a thing happen? If I can really achieve a breakthrough while sleeping, the techniques and spirit medicine used for cultivation will lose all its value. Whatever. I am really tired right now. Help me wash up and I shall go to bed.” Bai Luochu smiled and said to Cai Ling.
Cai Ling felt elated that Bai Luochu was finally going to rest and she hopped up to help her mistress clean up. She helped Bai Luochu to the bed before leaving.
