Chapter 359: Splitting Up (1/2)
Pei Rumo stayed silent for a long time before speaking up, “Since that is the case, we will still act according to our original plan. We will check out the location of the campaign before coming back everyday to discuss the situation.”
Bai Luochu also had the same idea and immediately nodded with approval, “I am thinking of the same thing. But in order to be efficient, let’s split up.”
“Wouldn’t it be dangerous? I am fine with splitting up but if things are really like what the innkeeper mentioned, the others might not be easy to deal with. With your strength... it might be a little troublesome.” Pei Rumo spoke of his worries to Bai Luochu.
Bai Luochu turned silent in response. Everything that Pei Rumo spoke about ran through her mind but she had no choice but to push his concerns to the back of her head. After all, the situation was urgent and even if she was weaker than her enemies, she could flee with her movement skill. After thinking about it, she decided to go ahead with the plan anyway. “Your First Highness doesn’t have to worry. My strength might be lacking, but I can use my movement skill to compensate for it.”
Pei Rumo felt at ease after hearing the reply. He had also witnessed Bai Luochu’s movement skill at the Falling Cloud Mountain Range. Back then, she had just started cultivating but she was able to dodge Feng Wan’er’s aggressive attacks. She was also able to approach the Green Flame Eagle while doing so. If her movement skill wasn’t good enough, she wouldn’t be able to achieve such a feat. Had it not been for the final sword strike from Lu Wenshu, not only would she obtain the Green Flame Eagle, she would be able to take the younglings and run away.
Bai Luochu noticed that Pei Rumo no longer had any objections and she chased him out.
When Pei Rumo reached the entrance, he suddenly stopped and turned to face Bai Luochu, “What kind of illness was the innkeeper suffering from?”
Bai Luochu revealed an awkward expression and coughed lightly, “Cough cough. Do you really wish to know?”
When Pei Rumo saw Bai Luochu’s awkward expression, he became even more curious. He stared straight at Bai Luochu and decided not to leave if he didn’t get to the bottom of the matter.
Without a choice, Bai Luochu hesitantly revealed the truth, “As a physician, I am not supposed to leak my patient’s conditions. Since Your First Highness is a trustworthy individual, I guess it’s fine.”
“Then I shall thank Divine Physician Bai for the trouble.” Since the matter involved Bai Luochu, Pei Rumo wouldn’t rest till he got to the bottom of it.
Bai Luochu looked around to make sure no one was around before she whispered into Pei Rumo’s ears, “He... has body odor!”
“Achoo!” Qin Feng was currently cleaning up the table when he sneezed. Isn’t the Desolate Region really hot all year round? Why would I catch a cold?!
Bai Luochu easily came up with an excuse as she knew Pei Rumo’s weakness. After living in the First Prince’s residence for such a long time, she knew that even though he wasn’t as finicky as the other imperial princes, Pei Rumo had mysophobia and couldn’t stand unpleasant odors. Such an excuse would allow Pei Rumo to avoid Qin Feng so that he wouldn’t discover the relationship between them. If Pei Rumo were to learn that Qin Feng was her subordinate, she didn’t know his impression of her would change.
