376 WELCOME BACK, YOUR HIGHNESS

Zuigao Hall had a lot of meanings to Bai Chen. He seldom visited that place even when he was still in his previous life. After all, the officials there usually only humiliated him every time he attended court meetings, and that was why he rarely went there in his previous life.

When he finally returned to this world after being reincarnated into the modern world, the first time he visited Zuigao Hall was when he was invited to attend a court meeting to discuss preparations for the Beast Hunting Event. Back then, he had decided to accept the invitation because he wanted to know what would happen at the meeting, and in the spacious hall, he received a mission from the system to participate in the Beast Hunting Event.

Bai Chen still couldn’t forget that day when he acted as if he was the main character of a play, and he even spat out nonsensical speeches when the Emperor and the officials doubted how he normally wouldn’t want to participate in that kind of event. It was like a super trap for him, but he managed to handle the situation well, and he was even rewarded by the system.

Another unforgettable moment that happened in the hall was when Bai Renshu killed himself in that place. It wasn’t a good memory for him, but he couldn’t erase it easily, and that was why it came back to him when he once again stood before the great doors of Zuigao Hall.

No guards were guarding the hall, and he was more certain that the enemy was indeed waiting for him within the hall. Standing beside him was Yu Ming, and only the two of them were about to enter the hall.

Wu Jingguo was not with them. Yu Ming ordered the Crown Prince to find a prison within the Rongyao Imperial Palace. The order confused Bai Chen, but then Yu Ming said that he had a feeling that Wu Jinhai was now being held in prison after he ‘chatted’ with Shao Yaoting in Zuigao Hall, and that was why Yu Ming asked Wu Jingguo to quickly save the masked man.

When Bai Chen heard Yu Ming’s words, he was stunned and couldn’t even say a word. It seemed that Yu Ming was sure that Wu Jinhai would not accept Shao Yaoting’s offer, and that was why the masked man would be sent to prison.

It was just Yu Ming’s hunch, and no one could prove whether the hunch was accurate or not, but Bai Chen didn’t say anything as Wu Jingguo followed Yu Ming’s orders to find the place where Wu Jinhai was held captive.

In the end, only he and Yu Ming stood in front of the big door, and without a word, Yu Ming raised his hand to open the door, and the two of them were immediately greeted by the sight of many people dressed in black, and one of them was sitting arrogantly on the throne.

.....

Bai Chen looked somehow nervous, and he didn’t even move from his spot even after the door was opened by Yu Ming. Sitting on the throne, the man in black smiled at him, but Bai Chen saw that smile as a sinister smile, and that was why he had no intention of returning the smile.

“Welcome back, Your Highness. You have been away for a few days, but I am glad you returned to Dong Lang unharmed,” said the man sitting on the throne.

Bai Chen still couldn’t believe what he was seeing. He had indeed known the truth even before he returned to Dong Lang. Thanks to Wu Jinhai and Yu Ming’s abilities, he managed to learn one important fact that managed to shake his mind.

He already knew the truth about the man sitting on the throne, but it was still hard for him to accept everything when he finally saw that man again. After all, that man had been with him since he was a child, and he had also relied heavily on that man after he lost his mother.

Bai Chen sometimes even thought that the man was like a father to him when his biological father didn’t even care about him, but it turned out that everything was just his illusion. He was so naive, and he was fooled for so many years. 𝙛𝘳𝐞𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝗻𝘰ѵ𝗲𝙡. 𝑐o𝓶

Bai Chen was lost in thought for a moment, but then he took a deep breath before walking towards the throne. He suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu as he once again walked towards the throne with complicated feelings in his heart. At that time the one sitting on the throne was his father, and standing on the right and left sides of the throne were officials dressed in white.

It felt similar but very different because the one sitting on the throne was no longer his father, and those standing on the right and left sides of the throne were not the officials. Rather, they were people from the Black Werewolf Clan and also the demons from the demon realm. All of them were dressed in black, and Bai Chen somehow felt that he didn’t know this place anymore even if the Zuigao Hall had not changed one bit.

Bai Chen had stopped standing in front of the throne, but unlike when he immediately showed his respect when he stood in front of his father who sat on the throne in the past, there was no respect at all visible on his face, and he even lifted his chin as he looked at the figure in black.

“My little brother reported to me about how you found out about my identity, Your Highness. I didn’t expect it, but it turns out that the lecherous Prince of Wu Li has such an ability. I regret that you end up finding out about my secret like that, Your Highness. You must know that I care deeply about you, right? That’s why I didn’t want you to feel betrayed by me, and that’s why I originally wanted to send you to the Earth Mansion[1] without letting you know my dark secret. Unfortunately, that lecherous Prince of Wu Li ruined everything.”
