Chapter 323: Proper Arrangemen (1/2)
When Bai Luochu noticed that Ying Lan was getting anxious, she knew that he had already found out about the expedition. She didn't deny and admitted it frankly, ”That’s right. I am here to discuss some matters with the three of you. If I leave for the Desolate Region, I won’t be able to handle the matters of the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence. Arrangements must be made.”
Ying Lan seemed as though he wanted to say something but was cut off by Bai Luochu. ”Wait till the other two come before speaking.”
Without a choice, Ying Lan had to go and look for Guan Yue and Meng Luoping.
Ying Lan briefly explained the situation to the two of them along the way and the moment Meng Luoping entered the Remote Paddy Inn, he asked Bai Luochu, ”Divine Physician Bai, are you really going to the Desolate Region?”
Bai Luochu saw the nervous trio and immediately started speaking, ”No need to be nervous. I have my reasons for doing so. If the three of you are worried, why don’t you blend into the First Prince’s army and follow me to the Desolate Region?”
Bai Luochu saw the anxious Meng Luoping and found it amusing. She couldn’t help but tease him.
Ying Lan noticed that Bai Luochu was in the mood to play around and realized that the situation wasn’t as bad as he made it out to be. He might be adept at doing business but Bai Luochu was adept at scheming. If she was going to face danger, there was no way she would joke around with them. Moreover, she would immediately refuse the imperial decree.
However, Meng Luoping wasn't able to keep calm. When he first heard Ying Lan’s explanation, he wanted to charge straight into the Remote Paddy Inn to dissuade his mistress from heading to the Desolate Region. He no longer held himself back when he stood in front of her, ”Divine Physician Bai, you have to think it through. We’re talking about the Desolate Region here. It isn’t inhabited by humans and the dog emperor is probably trying to test your limits by sending you there. If that isn’t his intention, he is probably trying to get rid of you. He has already dug such a huge pit for you… why are you jumping head-first into it?”
Bai Luochu stared at the nervous Meng Luoping and felt like laughing. She calmly explained, ”Don't be in a hurry. All of you should calm down and listen to my reason for heading to the Desolate Region. I am not a fool and I know that this is a trap dug by the old emperor. I’m not close enough to Pei Rumo to be buried alongside him.”
When she was done, she realized that Meng Luoping and the others had composed themselves. She started talking about the Field Pearl Flower.
After she spoke, an enlightened expression formed on Guan Yue and Ying Lan’s face. Only Meng Luoping was left panicking. ”Are you sure?! What if Pei Rumo is lying to you?”
Guan Yue glanced at Bai Luochu and immediately knew that she had made up her mind. Even though he knew that he wasn’t going to change her decision, he asked, ”It seems like you have made the decision to go?”
