That was indeed his shortcoming as he couldn’t always use his senses as a werewolf to detect anyone nearby. Sometimes his senses were quite sharp, but most of the time, he was just like a normal human with no special abilities in his body.

That was the side effect of how he lost his Power Crystal when he was a child, and even if he had managed to save another child back then, he would still curse his luck for losing the precious crystal.

Ah! It wasn’t even himself who stupidly lost the Power Crystal, but Bai Chen was somehow annoyed with himself even though it was the real Bai Chen of this world who accidentally lost his Power Crystal when he tried to save the child who nearly drowned in the river.

That was the case in the past, and Bai Chen knew that he shouldn’t think too much about it, and that was why he focused his attention on looking for the person Yu Ming had just mentioned.

Even his body stiffened as he tried to find the owner of the name Yu Ming mentioned, and he froze even more when he finally saw a figure walking from behind a large rock near the river. He did see the rock even when he had just arrived at the river, but he didn’t notice the presence of anyone behind the rock at all.

That was why Bai Chen was surprised to see the man in red walking over from behind the boulder.

Yes, the man in red was none other than Wu Jinhai who was still covering his face with the golden mask, and that was why Bai Chen was on guard when he saw the black-haired man.

Since when did Wu Jinhai hide behind the boulder? Was that man also there when Bai Chen was under the Flute Demon spell?

.....

Bai Chen had those questions in his head, but he didn’t voice them as he continued to stare at the red-robed man walking toward him.

Wu Jinhai was indeed still wearing the golden mask to cover his face, but the man’s pair of brown eyes continued to stare at Bai Chen, and it made Bai Chen feel uncomfortable.

“You came too late to save your lover, right, Xiao Hai? I was the one who saved him in the end, and that’s why you should thank me now,” carelessly, Yu Ming spoke to Wu Jinhai as the man finally stopped walking in front of Bai Chen.

The two men faced each other, while Yu Ming stood beside them as if he was a referee or something. The man in black could even casually utter a statement addressed to the Eldest Prince of Wu Li, and Bai Chen was forced to stare at the man again.

“Aiyah! Why are you looking at me like that, Prince Bai Chen? It’s not that my cousin here didn’t want to save you earlier, but he came later than me, so I was the one who needed to help you from the ugly demon,” Yu Ming explained to Bai Chen even if the Werewolf Prince didn’t say anything.

From Yu Ming’s statement, Bai Chen could draw two conclusions:

First, Yu Ming was Wu Jinhai’s cousin, and Bai Chen made an accurate guess that the man in black was definitely not an ordinary man. The Red Pavilion Boss was part of the Wu Li royal family, and that was why the man was able to act so boldly toward the Eldest Prince.

Second, it turned out that Wu Jinhai did hide behind the boulder to witness how Bai Chen was hit by the Flute Demon spell, but the man came late to the river, and that was why Yu Ming was the one who saved him.

But, was Yu Ming telling the truth with his second statement? Was it true that Wu Jinhai arrived at the river so late that he didn’t have time to save him? Did Wu Jinhai even want to save him in the first place? After knowing the truth, he still thought that Wu Jinhai wanted to save him?

Bai Chen hesitated, and he turned to Wu Jinhai and used his pair of blue eyes to observe the man in red. The man still didn’t say anything. Even when the two of them were still in front of the small house in the middle of the forest, Wu Jinhai still wouldn’t open his mouth to speak, and Bai Chen couldn’t understand the meaning behind the man’s silence.

“Now that Xiao Hai is here, I will leave you two so that you can talk to each other peacefully,” Yu Ming again broke the silence near the river when neither Bai Chen nor Wu Jinhai said anything since the two of them meet again.

It was indeed very quiet in the area near the river, but the silence was uncomfortable for Bai Chen. And when Yu Ming suddenly said that he was going to leave, Bai Chen felt even more uncomfortable, assuming that he and Wu Jinhai would no longer be the same after what happened today, and that was why it was natural if the two of them would only be awkward with each other.

“But before I leave, I need to tell you one thing, Prince Bai Chen,” Yu Ming spoke again before Bai Chen could even reply to his statement. “My cousin here could be silly sometimes, but he is sincere to you. Maybe he did have ulterior motives when he just started to approach you, but how he fell in love with you sincerely. He even personally made a comb so he could give it to you to ask you to stay by his side forever. Can’t you see his sincerity?”
