That was how Wu Shun answered Bai Guowei’s question, and the answer was quite confident and firm. It seemed that the Emperor of Wu Li didn’t want his son to look abnormal, and he immediately clarified that his son was straight.

It sounded like the Emperor was just trying to save his son’s face, but he had indirectly put Bai Chen in a more difficult position because of the statement that came out of his lips. It seemed that the Emperor wanted to say that only Bai Chen was abnormal, and indeed there was nothing between the two Princes from different empires.

Bai Chen didn’t even sigh heavily when he heard Wu Shun’s answer. He immediately learned the fact that Wu Shun was just like the homophobic Bai Guowei, and he didn’t say anything about it, knowing that most people in this world were the same as the people from his previous life.

After Wu Shun clarified that his eldest son was still as straight as a metal rod, the Emperor of Dong Lang finally smiled at the man before asking the man to leave the great hall together. Maybe Bai Guowei felt relieved because his son was the only one who was gay and didn’t infect anyone with his ‘disease.’

Bai Chen didn’t know what the two Emperors would do after they left the Zuigao Hall. Perhaps the two of them would continue their discussion in private, or perhaps they would just eat somewhere since it was already close to lunchtime now.

The two Emperors had left the great hall, but the two young men were still there even if their father had left the spacious room. Yes, the two men were Bai Chen and Bai Renshu, and both of them faced each other with different expressions on their faces.

Bai Chen looked stiff, while the older man had a grim expression on his face as he continued to frown at the younger one.

“I was not involved in Shao Meihui’s death, Your Highness,” Bai Chen finally broke the silence between them, knowing that the Crown Prince of Dong Lang might also be suspicious of him.

.....

After all, Wu Jinhai was placed on the suspect list, and because he was always with the masked man when they were in the Forbidden Forest, it would be easy for people to think that the two of them were working together to plan the scenario during the Beast Hunting Event.

“Then, why were you with Wu Jinhai during the Beast Hunting Event?” Bai Renshu finally returned, and he didn’t even bother to address the Prince of Wu Li formally when he mentioned the masked man in front of his half-brother.

During the court meeting in the hall earlier, no one questioned Bai Chen about the reason why he was with Wu Jinhai during the Beast Hunting Event, and Bai Chen actually had no idea why he was stuck with the masked man when he was in the forest.

Wu Jinhai told him that he chose to stay with him because he thought it would be fun to spend time in the forest with him. In addition to that reason, Bai Chen also thought that it would not be bad to stay with a strong person when he was in a dangerous forest, and that was why he did not oppose Wu Jinhai’s idea of ??staying together in the forest.

However, he knew that he didn’t need to explain the details to the older man, so he chose the most simple answer, “Prince Wu Jinhai thought I was weak, and he kindly said that he would help me stay alive during the event. There’s no other intention behind it.”

That was also the truth. Wu Jinhai started to notice him after he nearly fell into the abyss that separated the Forbidden Forest from the mainland, and he assumed that it was his weakness that had managed to attract the man’s attention.

“I’ve known Wu Jinhai for a while, and I know that he’s not the type to care about how a weakling will try to survive during the Beast Hunting Event,” Bai Renshu replied, and Bai Chen secretly agreed with that opinion.

The way how Wu Jinhai had no intention of helping the disciples of the Sacred Leaf Sect was enough to prove that the man wouldn’t care even if someone died or not. And even when Wu Jinhai knew that Bai Renshu and Shao Meihui were fighting the dangerous Three-Headed Snake, the masked man didn’t want to waste his energy helping them either.

From that fact alone, Bai Chen already knew what kind of person Wu Jinhai was, and that was why he couldn’t argue with Bai Renshu.

“It’s fine if you want to continue to suspect me, but I believe the truth will be revealed in the future. At that time, you will know that I was not involved in the incident that happened in the forest, and Prince Wu Jinhai is the same. He knows nothing about the tragedy that killed Young Lady Shao in the forest,” Bai Chen finally managed to find an answer to the older man’s statement.

Unfortunately, he was too careless when he mentioned the poor girl who was killed in the forest, and Bai Renshu looked even more furious upon hearing that mention.

“You know that Shao Meihui was killed, but you look so relaxed even after knowing that,” the white-haired Crown Prince returned while gritting his teeth. “Or maybe you’re even happy now that Shao Meihui was killed? Even after knowing that you would get the support of the Black Werewolf Clan if you could marry Shao Meihui, you still didn’t like her, right? That’s why you feel happy now that Shao Meihui has died?”
