Chapter 363: Stating the Location of the Ruins (2/2)

“You mean to say that you managed to find an unknown place on the map this morning? Is that why you were in such a hurry to report?” Pei Rumo didn’t ask much. For there to be missing information in the map, even the normally calm Pei Rumo couldn’t help but turn serious.

Bai Luochu nodded and said, “That’s right, I managed to locate the ruins in the morning but I was alone. I didn’t dare to enter to investigate. From the looks of it, things aren’t as simple as they seem.”

Pei Rumo muttered for a moment before giving a response, “We’ll head over and take a look tomorrow.”

“That’s the reason I’m making my report.” Bai Luochu thought that since Pei Rumo initiated it first, there was no reason for her to refuse.

Bai Luochu was startled at first as she didn’t expect for Pei Rumo to be so sharp. She couldn’t just state that it was Qin Feng who provided the information. Even if Pei Rumo already sensed something fishy between her and the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence, she wasn’t strong enough and it wasn’t the best time to reveal her identity.

Therefore, Bai Luochu muttered for a moment before giving an explanation, “It’s an embarrassing story. I originally wanted to scout the area where Your First Highness had scouted previously, however, I lost my way. It was just a small hiccup but I failed to notice that my map was flipped. I traveled in the wrong direction and managed to find the ruins. I thought that something was wrong as Your First Highness wasn’t able to find this place after so many days until I realized that I have been traveling in the wrong direction. As it seems, my mistake brought along unexpected results.”

Bai Luochu’s explanation was thorough and Pei Rumo stared at her for a moment with a blank expression on his face. He felt that her explanation was reasonable and he eventually nodded his head.

Bai Luochu let out a sigh of relief as Pei Rumo was an old fox. If she made a mistake during her explanation, she would be exposed immediately. Even though Pei Rumo wouldn’t do anything to her, she didn’t know what he would do to her subordinates if their identities were exposed. She knew that Pei Rumo had feelings for her but she also knew that he was someone who would do anything necessary to achieve his objective.

This person is too dangerous, I better distance myself from him. In my previous life, I have already suffered a great loss and I cannot possibly make the same mistake after my reincarnation. After all, if I make a mistake, I will not be the only one to suffer, all my loyal subordinates will also suffer with me.

Pei Rumo saw that Bai Luochu was lost in thoughts and he waved his hand to snap her out of it. When he saw that it wasn’t working, he called out, “Luo Chu? Luo Chu?”

After calling a few times, Bai Luochu was pulled back to reality. She realized that Pei Rumo was calling out to her and she hastily composed herself, “Apologies, I was thinking about the ruins earlier and I lost myself in my thoughts.”

Bai Luochu felt that her ability to come up with lies on the spot improved by leaps and bounds after interacting with Pei Rumo for such a long time.
