An hour later, Bai Zhou disappeared into the crowd under Meng Hongchen's lingering gaze.
Meng Hongchen was tidying up her slightly disheveled clothes in her room, a sweet smile on her lips.
At least, her body was still very attractive to Bai Zhou.
Although Orange beat her to it, neither of them is married yet, so she still has a chance...
After tidying up his clothes, Meng Hongchen ate a meal by himself. Only after filling his stomach did he leave the dessert shop satisfied.
As he rounded a corner, a large figure blocked Meng Hongchen's path.
"Grandpa...Grandpa...Why are you here?" Meng Hongchen froze on the spot, completely bewildered and feeling extremely guilty. He subconsciously lowered his head.
"Sigh, Meng, Bai Zhou has an ambiguous relationship with that little girl, Ju Zi. Are you sure you want to be with him?" Mirror Hongchen rubbed Meng Hongchen's head and sighed softly.
Meng Hongchen was naturally aware of this matter.
After all, although Bai Zhou and Ju Zi's relationship was not made public, Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy was his territory, so he was naturally aware of the inexplicably close relationship between Dao and the other two.
Orange usually keeps her distance from other boys, but she chats and laughs with Bai Zhou, which speaks volumes.
Although he hadn't been spying, he was an old hand at this, and seeing Meng Hongchen's expression, he could naturally guess what had happened in the room... nothing more than that between a man and a woman.
Having been through similar experiences, he knew that Meng Hongchen wouldn't listen to anything at this point, so he didn't try to persuade him further, but instead wanted a definite answer.
"Um…Grandpa…I really like him…I don't want to give up!" Meng Hongchen blushed, but her eyes were full of determination.
"Alright, since you've made your decision, Grandpa will help you and will definitely not let you suffer any injustice." Although Mirror Hongchen felt helpless, he still decided to support Meng Hongchen, but he had to personally investigate Bai Zhou's background.
After all, outstanding men always have many women following them. Bai Zhou even managed to make Ju Zi devoted to him, willing to betray Xu Tianran to stay with him. Clearly, he's something special...
He now strongly suspects that Bai Zhou is the person from the mysterious force that killed the Third Prince and Crown Prince! However, there is no evidence yet.
Meng Hongchen followed the other party, which wasn't exactly a loss for him, but he absolutely couldn't let himself be bullied, so he had to investigate thoroughly.
He wouldn't interfere in Meng Hongchen's love life, but he absolutely wouldn't allow Meng Hongchen to be deceived or bullied! That was his bottom line!
...
...
Ming Capital, in the suburbs.
In a dense forest, Bai Zhou slowly stopped, then looked at the empty space behind him and said with a smile, " Hall Master Hongchen, you are, after all, the head of Mingde Hall. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to be sneaky?"
He had actually spotted Mirror Hongchen long ago, but Mirror Hongchen didn't immediately chase after him after he left.
However, Bai Zhou felt that the other party's target was still him, so he did not go back to find Ju Zi, but deliberately went out of the city, wanting to meet Mirror Hongchen alone.
"Hmph, you really did hide something, kid. You're definitely not the Spirit Emperor?" Mirror Hongchen's figure slowly appeared, but his gaze toward Bai Zhou carried a hint of wariness.
After all, he had investigated Bai Zhou before, and the official information about Bai Zhou described him as the Spirit Emperor.
However, based on the fight between Bai Zhou and Laughing Hongchen, he felt that Bai Zhou should possess the Spirit Emperor. Peak's cultivation level.
But now that he has met the other person again, he finds that this person is unfathomable!
When he first met Bai Zhou, he sensed a vague sense of crisis. He originally thought that this was Shrek's trump card.
Only now do we realize that his previous judgment was completely wrong!
That sense of crisis didn't come from any "trump card," but from Bai Zhou himself!
This guy is definitely pretending to be weak while actually being strong; he might even be lying about his age!
At this thought, he immediately regretted it. If Bai Zhou were an old man in his fifties or sixties, he would never allow Meng Hongchen to be with him!
"Hall Master Hongchen, why are you so hostile towards me? After all, we'll be family from now on." Bai Zhou was speechless, sensing the sudden surge of hostility from Mirror Hongchen.
When he was being intimate with Meng Hongchen, Mirror Hongchen didn't react this strongly.
Who knows what Dao has imagined, making him seem like he's committed a heinous crime...
"I'm only asking you this: were you the ones who did the things involving the Third Prince and the Crown Prince?" Mirror Hongchen frowned and spoke coldly.
His use of "you all" instead of "you" clearly indicates that he believes Bai Zhou is backed by a very powerful and mysterious organization, whose overall strength may even rival that of the Holy Spirit Church.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to eliminate Third Prince and Crown Prince so quietly.
If Bai Zhou comes from that mysterious force, then the opponent's strength makes sense.
"We did it."
Bai Zhou nodded, neither denying it nor denying it.
Of course, his main concern was that if he said he did it all by himself, Mirror Hongchen wouldn't believe him and would think he lacked sincerity and was just playing with her.
So Bai Zhou went along with what the other person was saying.
After all, rumors are circulating that the deaths of Crown Prince and Third Prince were the work of an evil, mysterious force, which provides him with some cover and makes the incident even more confusing, potentially causing more chaos in Ming Capital.
The entire Ming Capital is now frantically searching for that mysterious force, having practically turned the entire capital upside down.
Unfortunately, we didn't find a single hair.
Instead, they discovered quite a few spies who originally belonged to the Three Great Empires...
Well, some unlucky Evil Soul Masters who were wanted by the authorities were also caught.
Bai Zhou could clearly feel a slight fluctuation in his luck. Obviously, a large number of people had been collectively cursing him these past few days, which had affected his luck a little bit...
"What is your purpose? Do you intend to rebel?" Mirror Hongchen frowned and continued to ask Dao.
He had only a slight suspicion at first, but he never expected it to be the work of the other party's power, which made things difficult.
"Hall Master Hongchen, there are some things you'd better not know. This is for your own good." Bai Zhou gently shook his head without answering.
If he were to reveal his true purpose, Mirror Hongchen would definitely fight him to the death.
It's not the right time yet. Bai Zhou doesn't want to reveal his full strength, and he certainly doesn't want to cripple Mirror Hongchen now, lest he injure He Qi.
After all, we'll most likely be family in the future, so it's better to keep some semblance of kinship.
After Bai Zhou finished speaking, he moved his feet, pretending to run away.
"Hmph, you won't leave today without explaining yourself!" Mirror Hongchen sneered, and a terrifying aura suddenly erupted, reaching straight for Bai Zhou.
