Chapter 402: The Mysterious Man (1/2)

The next morning, the sun had just risen and Bai Luochu was about to conclude her morning cultivation session. Not only was Bai Luochu awake, Pei Qingfeng, Pei Rumo, and Ying Lan were all awake. Pei Qingfeng and Pei Rumo woke up early so that they could take care of Bai Luochu. As for Ying Lan, he wanted to look for Bai Luochu to tell her the news about the siblings.

To Ying Lan’s surprise, when he reached Bai Luochu’s courtyard, Pei Qingfeng and Pei Rumo were already waiting outside.

“Your highness is really early. You are waiting outside a woman’s house so early in the morning... aren’t you afraid that others will start talking behind your back?” When Pei Qingfeng said this, he obviously didn’t think about his status. He was also an imperial prince and he was similarly waiting outside Bai Luochu’s room.

Pei Rumo merely snorted, “Ha, I am not as capable as Your Second Highness. You travelled all the way from the capital to the Desolate Region just to become a door guard for Divine Physician Bai. Your friendship is strong enough to move even the most heartless person in the world.” Pei Rumo’s insult was so obvious it caused Pei Qingfeng to furrow his brows.

Sensing the tense atmosphere, Ying Lan’s neck shrunk as he prepared to leave quietly. He was fearless when it came to fights and if the three of them were to break out into blows, he was confident of holding his own. However, when it came to relationships, he was worse than Bai Luochu. Just as he was about to leave, Bai Luochu opened the door.

Bai Luochu’s thoughts were interrupted by the two birds chirping outside her room and their voices were akin to drum blasts in her head.

Knowing that there was no point in trying to resume her cultivation session, Bai Luochu cleared her head and headed to the door. The second she opened the door, Pei Rumo and Pei Qingfeng fell silent.

“Why are the two of you being so quiet now? Aren’t you quarreling with each other without a care for anyone else just a moment ago? You guys are even better than the Imperial Censor and the storytellers on the streets. Why did the two of you go mute all of a sudden?!” Bai Luochu immediately yelled at the two of them after leaving her room.

Pei Qingfeng and Pei Rumo felt guilty and they remained silent like children who were caught doing something bad.

“Let me make a guess. The two of you are here so early in the morning as you want to take care of me. It’s too bad I don’t need any of your help, please leave.” After she finished her speech, she turned around to slam the door.

Just before the door shut, she called out to Ying Lan, “What are you standing there for? Enter from the back…”

Ying Lan made his way around to the backyard and entered Bai Luochu’s room.
