Chapter 80 (1/2)

Gu Bai was leaving the private room of the tea house when he b.u.mped into Xue Yunfeng, whom Yanu had summoned over. The other party seemed anxious. However, once Xue Yunfeng caught sight of Gu Bai's sorry appearance, his own expression froze in a flash.

Due to his keen power of observation, Gu Bai could clearly see Xue Yunfeng's expression change. He lowered his head and checked his own appearance. Suddenly, realization struck him.

This body was not good with alcohol. Just now, he had drunk two cups of strong liquor in the private room, and his face flushed scarlet. A moment ago, because he had sat close to Xue Han, his clothes became exceptionally disheveled. Even his belt had grown loose.

Moreover, since Gu Bai's legs had grown soft from drinking, Xue Yunfeng's thoughts obviously traveled in a crooked direction…

Xue Yunfeng was certain this was the case. After he had seen Gu Bai's appearance, he could not help but grow furious in a flash, certain that Gu Bai was trying to seduce Xue Han.

When it's all said and done, Xue Yunfeng had memories of a previous life where Gu Bai had ruthlessly thrown himself into the bosom of the victor, enjoying glory. After his rebirth, on the surface, the court's circ.u.mstances were very unfavorable for him.

Because of the crown prince's behavior of liking beauties more than he cared about the nation, the emperor already desired to depose him. On the surface, the court did not support the crown prince's authority. If there were a few princes fighting for this position, he definitely would lose. It was normal that his cold and ruthless male pet had abandoned him, and started to seek a new protector.

Xue Yunfeng inwardly sneered.

Although he was sneering in his heart, before he solidified his position, he would not completely expose his disgust. As a result, his cold expression disappeared in an instant, a face of worry returning.

”Rong Yi, how are you? Nothing's wrong, right? Just now, Yanu said that Imperial Uncle summoned you over…”

Yanu still had some brains. He did not dare to say that Gu Bai himself insisted on having him here. Instead, he had only informed Xue Yunfeng that Prince Yu of the First Rank had ”summoned him forcibly.”

Facing the also worried Yanu, Gu Bai shook his head. Then he s.h.i.+fted his gaze to Xue Yunfeng. In a soft voice, he said, ”Your Highness, I'm fine. His Highness hasn't done anything to me. Don't worry…”

Don't worry? How could he not worry?!

Xue Yu glanced at the red marks in plain sight on Gu Bai's neck and sneered once more. But he only nodded. In an utmost cheris.h.i.+ng manner, he hugged his shoulder. And they left together.

Gu Bai had several worlds' worth of experience. So how could he not tell that that person loathed him? He smiled yet did not explain. He wanted Xue Yunfeng to stew in those thoughts himself.

Once they had returned to the imperial palace, after Xue Yunfeng attentively shared a meal with Gu Bai, he made an excuse and left.

After his rebirth, because of Xue Yunfeng's intense resentment and fury, whenever he touched the previous owner of Gu Bai's body, he would feel like throwing up. As such, everytime he sat in the original host's residence, he felt the urge to leave after a few moments.

Once he had left, Yanu brought a teapot over. Filled with worry, he cried.

”Wu, wu, Master. Your honored self can fool others but cannot fool Yanu. Previously, Prince Yu definitely was bullying you. Wu, wu. Earlier, Yanu heard that Prince Yu was amorous, uninhibited, and terrifying. Master, why are you a.s.sociating yourself with him so closely? Now we have suffered losses. Wu, wu… Yanu should not have listened to your honored self's words and allowed you to go…”

The more he spoke, the more intense his sobbing became. The original host had treated him well. Naturally, he was loyal. Now his master was probably, no, was definitely being bullied. Of course he was concerned.

”Wu, wu, wu… Master, don't lie to Yanu anymore. That Prince Yu of the First Rank looks like a two-faced person. He definitely bullies your honored self. No. We must tell His Highness about this, and have His Highness act for you. Even if he is a prince, he should not bully Master…”

Then he made to find Xue Yunfeng. However, Gu Bai hurried to grab him.

That little eunuch was very devoted, but his intelligence was a bit lacking. It truly was a miracle that such a simple eunuch existed in the imperial palace.

Let's not talk about how nothing had happened now. Even if something had occurred, and Xue Yunfeng learned of it, he would not act for the original host. The other party absolutely wanted him dead!

”Yanu, I'm truly fine…” Gu Bai truly was afraid that he would go look for Xue Yunfeng. As such, he explained things to him once more.

”Master, you lied to me. Wuwu…”

The little eunuch continued to sob loudly.

Gu Bai was amused. It seemed as if he wouldn't be able to explain things clearly. So he might as well not try. This loyal little eunuch was simple to the point of adorable…

Elsewhere, once Xue Yunfeng had returned to his inner chamber, he could not suppress his fury any longer. And he hurled many things to the ground, smas.h.i.+ng them to pieces.

Although after his rebirth, he only had hate remaining for Rong Yi, whenever he saw the other party easily forget him and become intimate with another man, the fire in his heart roared.

He was so furious about his previous self prior to rebirth for being blind. This person was so obvious, yet he still had not been able to see his real face. In the other party's eyes, his love was nothing!

As long as he recalled how Rong Yi laughed in another man's arms after his previous life's death, he would fall into a towering rage, his grudge so deep that his chest boiled.

It didn't matter if it were the last life or the current. This person could coldly and ruthlessly abandon him.

Once he had vented out his frustration, Xue Yunfeng adjusted his clothes and said, ”Send the arrival notice to Prince Yu's estate.will visit Imperial Uncle tomorrow…” The anger had vanished from his face, a heartless visage replacing it.

The next day, Xue Yunfeng left his estate early in the morning. Gu Bai also did not inquire about his whereabouts, staying in his chamber to begin cultivating.

He had entered this mission at a bad time, with not enough time to prepare. It was necessary to have a way to protect himself before Xue Yunfeng did something dire. Moreover, he also had to help Xue Han by prescribing him medicine and detoxifying his body. Not to mention, use his cultivation to refine the medicine.

This mission wasn't too difficult. However, one couldn't look down on it. Gu Bai stopped delving in his contempt toward Xue Yunfeng, and started to refine the medicine.

Yanu did not know what he was thinking. Noticing his poor complexion, he only thought that his master was depressed after Xue Han had bullied him. That his body wasn't well. Every now and then, his eyes would redden, and he would lament about why his master had such a tragic life, wuwu…
