Chapter 467: Escalating Conflic (2/2)

“Alright, I agree with what you suggested. I will settle all the matters at the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence, but you have to report what happened here when you arrive back at the palace.” Guan Yue instructed.

Meng Luoping thought to himself, He’s just trying to take charge of the situation… Am I his dog?! Stupid of him to overcomplicate such a simple matter!

However, Meng Luoping knew that it was too late to withdraw his words and he told Qin Feng, “Why are you still standing around?! We have already come up with a plan! What are you waiting for, go and inform Commander Ying!”

Qin Feng was momentarily stunned by their sloppy plan. But he knew that there was nothing he could do about it as he was just a small fry that no one would listen to. It was his fate to be pushed around.

With that, Qin Feng quietly retreated to deliver the news to Ying Lan.

As he walked away, he glanced at Guan Yue and Meng Luoping before shaking his head. Another argument was brewing.

“Look at the time! The Silk Flower Pavilion is going to open soon, what else do you want from me?!” Meng Luoping snapped.

However Guan Yue did not seem to notice his sarcastic tone as he looked him in the eye and replied, “I really don’t understand why you’re so dissatisfied with me...”

Meng Luoping was surprised that Guan Yue did not lash out at him even after he had been so rude.

“Hahaha...” Meng Luoping forced out a laugh and he refused to speak. I’m not dissatisfied… We’re just too different to be working closely together.

They were destined to be different from birth. One of them belonged to an upper class family, while the other was born to a merchant in the city slums.

Guan Yue gathered that Meng Luoping was unwilling to explain himself, and he didn’t push it. He stared at Meng Luoping for a long time and he finally broke the silence. “I understand. Perhaps many people feel that I am a person who puts on airs, but it is my family that makes me act this way. They want nothing more than a decent descendant to carry on the family line. Even if I want to change, I can’t do it overnight.”

Meng Luoping was touched by the fact that Guan Yue was willing to put his guard down and share his personal story with him. It was too bad that he didn’t wish to embarrass himself further as he remained completely silent.

“I don’t believe that Divine Physician Bai is dead. We should do our best and protect the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence to await her return.” Guan Yue continued.
