335 BAI CHEN RAN AWAY AGAIN?
It would take him at least four hours to reach the top of Mount Heping if he continued to gallop from the Xinyang Imperial Palace to the peak, but Wu Jinhai had only gone for just over two hours.
He mounted his black horse as usual. The stallion was indeed his, and the two of them had been together for so long that they understood each other well.
Wu Jinhai actually had two favorite stallions. The first was the black stallion he named Yewan, and the second was a white stallion he named Yun. He didn’t know the origins of the two stallions, but for some reason, he had met the two of them a few years ago when he was cultivating in the forest, and strangely, the two stallions seemed to like him even though that was the first time they had met.
Back then, Wu Jinhai actually already had several horses in the palace, but somehow he fell in love with the two stallions, and that was why he brought them into the palace and appointed them to be the Eldest Prince’s mounts.
The black and white stallions were like Yin and Yang that balanced him. The temperament of the two horses was also opposite each other, but it looked like they were connected. Yewan was harder to control as it was quite too hyperactive, while Yun was calmer and easier to control.
Then, why did he always choose Yewan to accompany him on every journey? He didn’t mean to pick a favorite, but Yewan was slightly taller and bigger than Yun, and that was why Wu Jinhai felt better if he mounted Yewan, thinking that Yun should be mounted by someone smaller than him so the white horse wouldn’t felt too heavy on its back.
That was why Wu Jinhai planned to gift the white stallion to Bai Chen even though Bai Chen already had a horse in Dong Lang. He assumed that having two mounts wouldn’t be a bad idea. Moreover, Wu Jinhai still remembered Bai Chen’s expression when the man had just received the brown horse when they were still in Dong Lang a few months ago, and Wu Jinhai couldn’t help but feel greedy to see that expression again.
“What’s wrong with me? I only left him for over two hours, but I miss him already?” Wu Jinhai muttered to himself as he continued to gallop his horse towards the snow mountain.
He also still remembered when he told Bai Chen that no horse could survive if they had to gallop on Mount Heping. An ordinary horse definitely couldn’t, but Yewan was always fine even though he often took it to the snow mountain, and that was because he had trained the black horse for several years. Thus, Yewan was no longer an ordinary horse.
.....
He once again recalled Bai Chen, and behind the golden mask, he suddenly smiled as he recollected every memory he had spent with Bai Chen. Even at a time like this, his head was full of the Werewolf Prince, and Wu Jinhai thought that he was no longer his old self who only cared about revenge and the throne. For some reason, his heart had become softer after meeting Bai Chen, and he was more ‘human’ now.
When Wu Jinhai still couldn’t shake off the thought of Bai Chen, he suddenly felt something strange in his chest, he even pulled on Yewan’s reins to stop the horse from running. It seemed the horse was taken aback by its master’s sudden command but managed to safely stop running.
“Bai Chen left the Xinyang Imperial Palace? Is he trying to run away again?” Wu Jinhai questioned himself when Yewan had already stopped running fast.
Thanks to the little black bead, he could now monitor Bai Chen’s position even if he was far away from him, and that was why he knew that the Werewolf Prince wasn’t in the Xinyang Imperial Palace right now.
“But he’s still wearing the necklace, so he can’t be mad at me once again, right?” Again, Wu Jinhai wondered to himself.
He was both curious and anxious, but then he took a deep breath before closing his eyes as he tried to concentrate his thoughts. “Where are you?” He was asking someone even if he was only with Yewan at the moment.
“Why did you suddenly contact me, Xiao Hai? Did something happen?” Instead of getting an answer, Wu Jinhai heard someone asking in his head.
Of course, the voice belonged to Yu Ming, and he was indeed communicating with the man right now.
“I can feel how Bai Chen just left the palace. Can you go over to check him out for me?” Not wanting to beat around the bush, Wu Jinhai immediately voiced his intention.
He was serious and in a hurry, but Yu Ming just chuckled after hearing his words. “I thought something happened to you, but it turns out that you only miss your wife, Xiao Hai,” he replied carelessly. “Your wife did leave the palace, but I am with him now. I will take him to investigate the person who put his mother in such a difficult situation many years ago.”
Yu Ming’s reply sounded calm, but Wu Jinhai’s face beneath his mask stiffened upon hearing it. “You brought him to investigate that person this late, Yu Ming? Are you kidding me? Can you guarantee his safety?” Enraged, Wu Jinhai once again asked the older man.
“You don’t need to worry about him, Xiao Hai. Don’t you remember that I am your master? That’s why I can definitely guarantee your wife’s safety.”
“…” Wu Jinhai looked speechless after receiving Yu Ming’s answer. He really hated it when the older man kept teasing him with the word “master,” but he also couldn’t rebuke him because he did see that man as his master.
And when Wu Jinhai was about to end their communication via telepathy, Yu Ming suddenly said something that managed to burn his heart.
“Your brother is also coming with us, Xiao Hai. He suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and I can only agree to take him with me. And… I think you should teach him a lesson once you return to the Xinyang Imperial Palace. It’s surely inappropriate for your brother to touch your wife’s ass, right?”
