Chapter 377: Making Contac (1/2)

“Lady boss, are you close to the person just now?” Qing He knew that the lady boss had a bad temper and hardly conversed with others. She had to be close to Bai Luochu, otherwise, she wouldn’t grumble when Bai Luochu left without saying goodbye to her.

The lady boss's face turned black and raised her eyebrows, “So what if I am? Why are you asking so much anyway?!”

“She… she looks like one of our long lost friends.” Qing He was embarrassed and reminded himself that he should have properly considered his words before talking to the lady boss.

After looking into their eyes and making sure they were not lying, the lady boss replied, “We can’t be considered close. She seems to be a newcomer in the Desolate Region and she frequents my shop…”

“Do you know her name?” Qing He asked again.

“How would I know? I seem to remember the guy calling her Luo Chu or something… I have no idea. Anyway, the two of you should leave. I’m about to close for the day.” After the lady boss finished speaking, she chased the two of them out.

Qing He and Qing Rong froze on their spot. They were extremely familiar with that name! Wasn’t the Holy Maiden also called Luochu?!

The two of them returned back to their rooms dispirited, “Do you think the Holy Maiden is avoiding us?”

Seeing his own sister so dejected, Qing He sighed and consoled her, “Just wait for a little more, maybe the Holy Maiden has her own difficulties. If she wanted to acknowledge us, she would have already done so.”

The meeting between the former disciples of the temple ended just like that.

...

Once Bai Luochu returned to the Inn, Qin Feng brought some good news to her, “Mistress, commander Ying Lan has arrived.”

Bai Luochu nodded her head and instructed, “Let me go and inform the First Prince that I have returned. Bring Ying Lan to my room and tell him to wait for me there.” Bai Luochu was still agitated by the meeting from before.

After giving Pei Rumo an account of her investigations, Bai Luochu hurriedly went back to her room. When she saw Ying Lan waiting inside, she was finally able to calm herself temporarily.

“Reporting to Mistress, this subordinate is still unable to figure out the situation inside the Desolate Region. Seeing that you have called me back, there has to be something important you wish to discuss with me.”
