338 A PLACE WHERE HIS PARENTS MET

This is too complicated, Bai Chen complained inwardly after witnessing the argument between Yu Ming and Wu Jingguo.

He thought the two of them would not oppose each other seriously, but he was wrong because Yu Ming did not appear to hesitate as he continued to attack the Crown Prince of Wu Li even if only with his sharp mouth.

Wu Jingguo was indeed the Crown Prince of Wu Li, but it didn’t seem like Yu Ming had much respect for the man even if he continued to address the man formally by saying “Your Highness.”

Just like Wu Jinhai, Yu Ming’s hatred for Wu Jingguo was also obvious at times, and that was why Bai Chen felt uncomfortable when he was in the middle of a dispute.

Wu Jingguo couldn’t even reprimand Yu Ming, and he silently slowed down his horse before it once again galloped behind Bai Chen. It seemed that Wu Jingguo also felt uncomfortable, and that was why he wanted to stay away from Yu Ming.

Bai Chen’s horse was once again behind Yu Ming while Wu Jingguo stayed behind. At this moment, he couldn’t help but glance at the blue-robed man behind him. ‘I don’t even know why Wu Jingguo insisted on joining me and Yu Ming for tonight’s investigation. He didn’t even know where we were going, but he blindly wanted to join us. To make it even stranger, Yu Ming let Wu Jingguo follow us. What’s the plan?’

Bai Chen was still confused about how Wu Jingguo had suddenly appeared when he almost fell off his horse. That man did save Bai Chen at that time even if Bai Chen felt that how that man saved him was no different from harassment, and after hearing how Bai Chen kept saying that he was a pervert, Wu Jingguo didn’t look guilty, and he casually said that he would follow them tonight.

Bai Chen wasn’t one to decide because he would only be following Yu Ming’s plan tonight, and that was why he secretly glanced at the man in black. Surprisingly, Yu Ming only said that an extra person could help him to protect Bai Chen, and that was why Wu Jingguo was forced to ride his horse behind to ensure that Bai Chen would be safe.

Yu Ming said that he received an order from Wu Jinhai that he needed to guarantee Bai Chen’s safety, and that was why he agreed to let Wu Jingguo join them, but Bai Chen assumed there must be another reason behind Yu Ming’s decision to bring Wu Jingguo along.

.....

Now, the three of them continued to ride their horses in silence, and Bai Chen was actually not used to this kind of atmosphere. Moreover, he was not familiar with Yu Ming or Wu Jingguo, and that was why he felt out of place.

The three stallions kept galloping. For the most part, they passed through residential areas, and Bai Chen noticed that they were also in residential areas at this time after they had departed from the Xinyang Imperial Palace for nearly three hours.

At this time, Yu Ming suddenly slowed down the speed of his horse, and Bai Chen assumed that they were close to their destination.

Bai Chen could only follow Yu Ming’s movements without saying anything, and finally, the man in black stopped his brown horse. Left with no choice, Bai Chen also tugged at the reins as he brought his white stallion to stand beside Yu Ming.

“Is this the place, Yu laoban?” Bai Chen asked the man in black, but his eyes kept scanning his surroundings.

It seemed that everything was normal here. The surrounding buildings were mostly the homes of the Wu Li people. This area was quite far from the Xinyang Imperial Palace, and that was probably the reason why it was deserted compared to how busy the area near the Imperial Palace was. The houses here were also smaller than the houses near the palace, and that was indeed easy to notice.

It was late at night, and Bai Chen didn’t even see anyone around the area. Even if he was a werewolf, he didn’t seem to feel safe in such a quiet place. Somehow it seemed a bit sinister to him.

“That house,” Yu Ming replied as he pointed his finger at one of the buildings in the area. “That is the manor of a noble surnamed Fan. It is where your parents met for the first time many years ago, Prince Bai Chen.”

Bai Chen followed the direction of Yu Ming’s finger, and he indeed saw a huge building that could be said to be the largest in this area. Not only was it large in size, but it was also the brightest compared to other buildings in the area, and Bai Chen was certain that it was indeed an honorable noble who lived in the building.

He also suddenly felt how his heart fluttered a little after knowing the fact that his parents were meeting for the first time in that building. Unfortunately, the two did not meet in such a romantic setting and were instead trapped so that their fates became entangled.

If that building didn’t exist, then his parents might never have met each other, and Bai Chen probably wouldn’t exist either. It sounded pitiful, but Bai Chen thought such a fate was still better than how his parents met each other only to bring disaster into their lives.

“What are your plans now, Yu laoban? How are we going to investigate tonight?” Bai Chen finally replied, but his blue eyes remained fixed on the large manor not far from his position.

“We will directly ask the noble surnamed Fan about what happened all those years ago,” calmly, Yu Ming answered his question.

This time, Bai Chen finally turned to him with a frown on his forehead. “So, shall we knock on the door? But it’s late, and I doubt the owner of the manor will welcome us.”

Bai Chen did hesitate, but Yu Ming still looked calm as he glanced at the figure on another brown horse behind him, and he replied to Bai Chen, “You don’t need to worry, Prince Bai Chen. We have someone who will be able to lead us into that manor even though it’s very late now.”
