Chapter 231

231 THAT ANNOYING GUY

It was Yu Ming, the boss of the Red Pavilion who greeted Bai Chen enthusiastically when he visited the place a month ago.

Back then, Yu Ming was wearing pink clothes and acting like overcooked noodles, but this time the man was wearing black, and even his demeanor looked a bit more manly than the first time Bai Chen saw the man.

And when his blue eyes saw the demon that had died on the ground, Bai Chen couldn’t help but think that it was Yu Ming who had killed the demon. Furthermore, Bai Chen also noticed the presence of the bloody dagger in the man’s hand, and that only strengthened his assumption that Yu Ming was indeed the one who had slashed the demon’s neck.

It was quite unexpected for Bai Chen as the man looked harmless in his eyes when he met the man for the first time a month ago, but perhaps it was true that he should not judge a book by its cover. Moreover, Yu Ming was the owner of the Red Pavilion where Wu Jinhai pretended to be one of the male prostitutes there, and Bai Chen assumed that there was a conspiracy between the two men.

That was the reason Bai Chen didn’t want to stand close to Yu Ming, and his blue eyes also didn’t want to leave the black-clothed man for even a second, afraid that the man would launch an attack when he did not pay attention to him.

“Yes, I was the one who killed that evil demon to save you,” Yu Ming replied casually as he glanced at the soulless demon that was still lying on the ground. “I’ve been trying to end her life in the past few months, knowing that the nasty demon loves to bring chaos to Wu Li, and today I finally got the chance to finish her off.”

Yu Ming sounded heartless when he admitted that he had killed the Flute Demon, and Bai Chen could see that the boss of the Red Pavilion wasn’t just a powerless human. He even assumed that the man had been faking his harmless appearance all along.

“Who are you?” Instead of responding to Yu Ming’s statement, Bai Chen asked the man while furrowing his brows.

It seemed that Bai Chen didn’t want to hear any more nonsense today, and that was why he got to the point instead of responding to Yu Ming’s story regarding the Flute Demon.

.....

He didn’t care even if Yu Ming sounded very heroic when he said that he had been trying to put an end to the demon because the demon had been causing chaos in the Wu Li Empire for a while now. That was probably just another bullshit, right? That was why Bai Chen didn’t want to continue talking about it, and instead, he directly asked about the man’s identity.

However, even after hearing his question, Yu Ming only looked at him lightly before saying, “You don’t remember me? I met you at the Red Pavilion a month ago, but you don’t remember me? I guess you only remember Zhu Ge, right?”

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Yu Ming had a serious expression on his face, but the man was still able to tease Bai Chen with his serious tone. However, Bai Chen didn’t want to hear such nonsense, and even just hearing Zhu Ge’s name made him feel uncomfortable.

“I already know everything about the man you call Zhu Ge, so you don’t need to pretend anymore. Now you better tell me who you are. You’ve worked with that man to trick me, right?” Enraged, Bai Chen continued to pressure Yu Ming to tell the truth.

He was really angry right now. First, he finally discovered the truth that Zhu Ge had been lying to him all along, and second, the Flute Demon suddenly appeared out of nowhere and cast her spell on him until he recalled the worst memory he had ever had.

The memory had been around for a long time, but Bai Chen still couldn’t forget what happened to him back then. He was still a child then, but he was treated as a dog by a woman who adopted him, and it was indeed the worst memory he ever had.

Bai Chen tried to shake off the memory as he looked at Yu Ming and waited for the man to answer his question. He just wanted to know the truth, and he kept telling himself that he wouldn’t easily believe what Yu Ming said when the man finally opened his mouth to answer his question.

“That annoying guy really told you everything, huh?” Instead of answering Bai Chen’s question, Yu Ming once again asked the Werewolf Prince. “A while ago he told me that he would reveal everything in front of you, but I didn’t expect him to do it so soon.”

Hearing Yu Ming’s statement, Bai Chen could conclude that the man indeed knew everything about Wu Jinhai. Furthermore, Yu Ming could even refer to Wu Jinhai as ‘that annoying guy,’ and Bai Chen was certain that Yu Ming might be related to Wu Li’s royal family.

Aside from that fact, Yu Ming also said that Wu Jinhai had said that he would reveal his secret, and Bai Chen was sure that Yu Ming indeed knew a lot about Wu Jinhai’s plans.

“You are wrong,” Bai Chen replied to Yu Ming. “That person didn’t tell me anything about himself, but he suddenly appeared in front of me, nonverbally telling me who he really was. However, he still didn’t tell me anything about him even when I kept questioning him.”

Bai Chen was telling the truth, and he even gritted his teeth as he recalled the memory of when the red-clothed man could only remain silent even as he continued to question the man.

“Is that so?” Yu Ming once again asked the Werewolf Prince calmly. “Maybe it’s true that he still hasn’t told you anything about him, but maybe that’s because you’ve shown him how angry you are after finding out his true identity. Don’t you know that he’s the most afraid to see you’re angry?”
