541 White Cloud Forest

Morning comes. 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

Servants were been so busy since the sun hadn’t even risen, passing through the living room of the guest bungalow all the way to the second floor where the guest rooms were.

“Your Honour!” Bi looks out of the room heading towards the garden where Bai Ying who just woke up from sleep, takes a bath so fast, and can’t wait to go down to Grandpa Po’s residence, his hair isn’t even tied properly.

“Come on, Sis, I can’t wait to see Grandpa, why didn’t you tell me that we had arrived at Grandpa’s house, no wonder I recognize the place, and why did His Majesty leave without taking me? That guy” he hurriedly lifted his long clothes down the small pathway out of the bungalow to the back garden of General Po’s mansion at the front. Several maids who saw Bai Ying passing by lowered their heads in salute.

“Good morning Young Master.”

Bai Ying’s face was very cheerful, not like he had been poisoned the night before. He rushed down the path through the beautiful garden, not even having time to pay attention to the very beautiful view, which makes him walk with his head on the view.

“Wow, the garden is already this beautiful, last time we came here all the plants were still small, Grandpa Po really has a lot of free time now.”

Bai Ying walked so fast without paying attention to the road that he bumped into someone.

“Ah!”

.....

The young man almost fell down if not for that person’s hand holding his back, who else would he be if not the Crown Prince?

“Eits, brat, what are you doing in such a hurry?” Luo Xiang asked holding Bai Ying’s back to keep him from falling. Bai Ying was shocked, he held the Crown Prince’s chest with both hands so as not to hug him in front of so many people like this.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty just startled me”

Luo Xiang smiled, he held Bai Ying’s back and helped him stand up straight. However, he didn’t let the boy walk away, he pulled Bai Ying’s waist so that he clung to him.

“Who told this brat to walk so fast and not pay attention to your way? You could fall that way, even worse, hit someone else”

“How could it be worse to hit someone? At least I’ll fall with him.”

Luo Xiang pulled Bai Ying’s hand closer to him, so close that he could hear them breathe on each other. Bai Ying gulped down his saliva, it was still early!

“Well, worse, since I might kill the person who knocked my Ying Ying down by two, is he tired of living already?”

Bai Ying’s eyes widened, that person was indeed very strange, there were times when he spoke very softly, there were times when he spoke like the usual Crown Prince, so terrifying. Bai Ying pushed Luo Xiang’s chest and broke away from him.

“Your Majesty, this is too much, I want to see Grandpa Po, why didn’t Your Majesty wake me last night?”

Luo Xiang smiled feeling his lips that almost managed to kiss Bai Ying earlier, he finally followed Bai Ying back towards the big house where he had just left him with Bei Yau behind him.

“Sweet child, big brother wanted to wake you up earlier, oh, If I know that this morning I should have carried you to see the old geezer, okay?”

“Akh Your Majesty, don’t talk strangely, the others will hear us later,” Bai Ying said with a red face because of embarrassment.

Luo Xiang grabbed Bai Ying’s hand and held him.

“Why? Just let them hear, is there a problem with their ears? Everyone who can hear of course can hear it”

“Your Majesty, hurry up, I can’t wait to meet grandpa” Bai Ying shouted, pulling the Crown Prince’s hand and rushing towards the mansion.

Luo Xiang smiled letting the boy pull him to half run, well, even though he couldn’t pull the Crown Prince’s big body to run with him.

.......

The next day. Without delay, the Crown Prince, Bai Ying and Elder Yi, accompanied by General Po and the White Cloud Valley disciples make the trip to the college. The road leading to the college which is located on the mountain of White Clouds looks deserted, there are no pedestrians or students or even newcomers to the college as usual. The White Cloud College is a clan that focuses on spiritual training and medicine, just like the Valley of Medicine, but White Cloud focuses more on self and mental development.

The White Cloud Valley’s famous mainstay is Cold Cloud Blowing. It is said that a move that higher-ups only master because of the difficulty level can make the surrounding temperature cold and the wind released from the palms which can even cut iron into several pieces. A gust of Cold Wind has sharpness like a sword but is intangible, that’s why the White Cloud Valley elders don’t have a mainstay weapon, the sword is only their grip, but their main weapon is their palm.

The galloping horses walk up the small path up the valley. Since the large carriage couldn’t pass through, Bai Ying had to ride horses with the Crown Prince. Riding the horses together, which meant being stuck with him on one horse, it was lucky that the big white horse was so sturdy and tall that it was strong enough for the two tall young men to ride.

Bai Ying sat in front of the Crown Prince until the wind blew the smell of Bai Ying’s hair and body which made the Crown Prince unable to stop smiling.

“Wow, Your Majesty, the scenery is so beautiful, the smell is also refreshing, emmh, I really like this Cloud forest,” said Bai Ying.

Luo Xiang nodded, he couldn’t agree more than that, but it wasn’t the beautiful sight and smell of the Cloud forest that made him so fond of him, but rather Bai Ying’s face and body odour, how could he smell anything else while the smell of his little concubine had already made him drunk.

“Um, yeah Ying Ying is right, the smells indeed so refreshing.”

Bai Ying pointed at a large tree along the path. Several large birds perched on the branches. Their voices are loud and pleasant to hear.

“Your Majesty, look at the bird, it is very large and the colour is very beautiful, what bird is that, Your Majesty?” Bai Ying asked curiously.

Luo Xiang frowned, confused, he himself didn’t know what bird it was, he had never seen that bird before, he thought hard and glanced at Elder Yi not far beside him.

“Em that...”

“It’s a kind of Big Pheasant Xiao Ying, usually they will forage under and climb up on tree branches to rest, it is said that they rarely show themselves, so we are lucky to be able to see and hear his shrill voice” replied Elder Yi, of course, he knew, the old man had lived long enough to know many things.

Bai Ying’s eyes went wide upon hearing Elder Yi’s answer.

“Really old man? So the bird is really shy? Why don’t they want to show themselves, they are so beautiful” said Bai Ying innocently. Luo Xiang pinched Bai Ying’s cheek who had been talking since earlier.

“Because they don’t want to be said like Ying Ying who couldn’t stop talking since earlier.” 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚

Bai Ying turned to the Crown Prince who was clinging close behind him, he felt very safe even though he was riding the big tall horse with him.

“Your Majesty, I have to keep talking, otherwise everyone will fall asleep and fall asleep on the road, after all, we have to be alert along the way right? This forest is too quiet Your Majesty.”

Luo Xiang nodded and pinched Bai Ying’s chin in annoyance.

“Yes, my Ying Ying, I note that.”

The journey to the White Cloud Valley College was quite long, since morning they had started their journey at the foot of the mountain and by noon were still on the road. Although according to the disciples of the White Cloud College, before noon they would have arrived at the great gate of the famous White Cloud clan. Many people have already passed that road and soon many guests from clans will be visiting to take part in the annual martial world competition which that year was held at the White Cloud Clan.

Passing the path ahead will find the gate of the college, one of the students, Xu er’s junior excused himself to ride his horse faster towards their college.

“Hey! Hiaa!!”

The Crown Prince’s entourage, including Bei Yau, the two maids, Mu and Bi’s servants, as well as several of Bei Yau’s mainstay men were trained, not ordinary soldiers. Soldiers with above-average combat prowess can be trusted to protect the Crown Prince and Viceroy. The young men were now wearing the clothes of the commoners as men of the Young Master of the Capital.

They were still walking leisurely enough on their horses that they heard screams from the end of the road, where the White Cloud clan was.

“Older brother! Something happened bro! It’s bad!” shouted the disciple who was rushing towards the clan, did something happen?
