CONGRATULATIONS ON COMPLETING THE MISSION, HOST!
THE CREATOR OF THE SYSTEM WILL REWARD YOU LATER!}
Bai Chen could even see the fireworks in his head when he received the notification from the system. Finally, after so many days had passed, he was able to complete the mission given by the system.
It was certainly worth celebrating, but Bai Chen couldn’t even feel the bones in his body at this ti, and he didn’t really listen to what the system had just told him. He even needed to hold on to the table so he wouldn’t trip over to the floor, but then he heard a question coming from soone.
“Who is Ma Qiao, Prince Bai Chen? He killed your mother, so maybe he’s your enemy or sothing, right?”
The question ca from Wu Jingguo who indeed knew nothing about him, and Bai Chen almost let out a bitter laugh at himself. For him, it would be easier to accept if it was his enemy who had killed his mother and also tried to destroy his life. Unfortunately, the truth was not that simple. It was soone closest to him who did that to him, and that was why it was so hard for him to accept reality.
.....
“He’s my servant,” weakly, Bai Chen answered Wu Jingguo’s question. “He’s my closest servant,” he continued, but his voice sounded weaker than before.
At this ti, Wu Jingguo wore a complicated expression on his face. Perhaps he could tell that the Werewolf Prince was deeply hurt right now, and that was why he seed to have a hard ti finding a response for the younger man.
In the end, the Crown Prince of Wu Li sighed heavily before saying, “Even soone who shares a blanket with us could betray us. That’s why we can’t completely trust others.”
Bai Chen once again felt like laughing bitterly at this ti. Wu Jingguo just said that soone who shared a blanket with them could also betray them, but maybe that man forgot that he had shared a blanket with Yu Ming a dozen minutes ago, and that was why Bai Chen suddenly felt an irony.
But maybe Wu Jingguo wasn’t wrong in his opinion. When soone was willing to share a blanket with another person, it ant that person had great trust in the other person, but it didn’t an the other person wanted to protect that trust. Otherwise, they would probably betray even if they had received trust.
Bai Chen didn’t reply this ti, and he once again focused his attention on Yu Ming while waiting for what kind of conversation would be displayed in front of him.
anwhile, Wu Jinhai had just said a na that almost made him vomit inside the Zuigao Hall.
Ma Qiao. Ever since he had co to Dong Lang under the identity of Zhu Ge, he had sohow felt that sothing was wrong with the trusted servant of Bai Chen. He started to feel that way when he accidentally witnessed the old man having a secret conversation with Bai Renshu the first night he was in Dong Lang. However, he was more suspicious of Bai Renshu back then, and that was why he only thought that Ma Qiao was secretly working for the Crown Prince.
Even after so many days had passed, he still thought that Ma Qiao was working for Bai Renshu. When he found out how Ma Qiao even dared to put cinnamon and red ginseng in Bai Chen’s food, he also thought that it had sothing to do with Bai Renshu. After all, Bai Renshu was also very eager to spread the bird song telling the story about Bai Chen, and that was why Wu Jinhai thought that the person behind all of that was Bai Renshu.
But everything was finally revealed now, and Wu Jinhai knew he had been wrong all along. Bai Renshu had no connection with Ma Qiao, and that poor Crown Prince had even fallen victim to Ma Qiao’s cunning scenario.
Victim, huh?
As that word crossed his mind, Wu Jinhai suddenly thought of sothing, and that was why he imdiately asked, “Ma Qiao isn’t your real identity, right? Who are you? And how did you co to sit on the throne when the Black Werewolf Clan started a coup?”
Bai Chen could hear Wu Jinhai’s voice leave Yu Ming’s lips once again, and he was now feeling confused as well when he learned that Ma Qiao was currently sitting on the throne.
Wu Jinhai ntioned the throne, so Bai Chen assud that the man was now in Zuigao Hall, but it wasn’t his father who sat on the throne anymore. On the contrary, now his servant was sitting on the throne, but he had the sa question as Wu Jinhai at this ti.
How could Ma Qiao sit on the throne? He thought it would be Shao Yaoting sitting on the throne, and that was why he couldn’t find an answer to his curiosity.
anwhile, after Wu Jinhai finished asking the question, he could see how Ma Qiao was smirking at him from the throne. It was indeed still the sa person he used to call “Lao Ma,” but now that person was dressed in black instead of white.
The appearance was the sa, but Wu Jinhai could sohow feel a different aura on the old man.
“Back then, you knew as Ma Qiao, and I knew you as Zhu Ge, right? Just like how you can use another identity to achieve your goals, I can also use another identity to achieve mine,” calmly, Ma Qiao answered Wu Jinhai’s question. “But you actually can’t fool when you take Zhu Ge as your identity, Your Highness. That’s different from you believing that I’m just a lowly servant nad Ma Qiao, right?”
“…” Wu Jinhai didn’t answer, but he looked irritated after hearing that arrogant question.
However, it seed the old man in black only looked amused upon seeing the younger man’s expression, and he calmly spoke again, “Now, I will formally introduce myself, Your Highness. My na is Shao Yaoting, and I am the head of the Black Werewolf Clan.”
