Chapter 403: Arguing Ceaselessly (1/2)
“You’re right, now that the First Prince and Pei Qingfeng are here, even if Lu Wenshu wanted to make any moves, he won’t have the opportunity to do so.” Bai Luochu looked down and said while tapping the table rhythmically as she reveled in her thoughts.
After following Bai Luochu for so long, Ying Lan could be said to have a good understanding of Bai Luochu. Seeing her like this, he was sure that she was thinking about Lu Wenshu. He decided to take his leave as there were still two little ancestors somewhere in the inn. If they were to notice his presence, things might get troublesome.
Just as Ying Lan was about to leave quietly, Bai Luochu called out to him.
“Hold up.” Bai Luochu stood up and walked towards the door. “Before you leave, bring me to the courtyard, I don’t want to spend the rest of my day rotting in this room alone.”
Ying Lan's whole body trembled as he realised that his mistress was still holding a grudge against him. She was actually pushing him into the fire pit. But since she had already spoken, he had no choice but to obey and he braced himself as he supported her to the courtyard.
The instant she sat down, she passed down her instructions. “Don’t be worried about matters here, I'm safe here with Pei Qingfeng and Pei Rumo. Qin Feng is taking good care of the inn as well. I need you to locate Qing He and look for the rest of the disciples from our temple. It it’s possible, investigate the identity of the person who helped the disciples escape from the Three Great Immortal Sects. Remember to be discreet about it. Even if you can’t find out his identity, it will be good to find out some clues about him.”
Ying Lan nodded his head slightly and withdrew himself. “Mistress, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now.” After Bai Luochu nodded her head, he immediately turned and left by climbing the walls.
Just as Bai Luochu and Ying Lan were discussing matters, the two princes decided to settle down and still the drums. Instead of coming to blows, the two of them decided to play a game of chess instead.
Pei Rumo made his move and said, “I didn’t imagine that the Second Prince will appear so quickly! Did you finish everything you need to do in the imperial capital?!”
Pei Qingfeng’s expression didn’t change as he replied with indifference, “Your First Highness doesn’t need to concern yourself with my matters. Even though there are rumors going around that you’re a flawless prince, it doesn’t mean I’m inferior to you…”
Pei Rumo fell deep into contemplation before placing down another piece. Seeing that Pei Rumo was keeping his silence, Pei Qingfeng kept his mouth closed as he turned his gaze to the chessboard.
