Chapter 360 - 360 SOMEONE WHO CAN’T TRUST HIM
The pair of golden eyes were no longer there, and not even golden scales could be seen on his face. Someone tsk-ed, but he still moved to grab a cup of water before handing it to the person who had just regained consciousness.
“What happened? Did my brother disconnect the telepathy?” Wu Jingguo asked while helping Yu Ming drink some water.
Perhaps Wu Jingguo didn’t really understand how telepathic abilities worked, but he could see how exhausted Yu Ming was after using that ability with his brother. The fish demon looked pale, and even his face was covered in sweat. As his right hand held a cup filled with water to help Yu Ming drink, he used his left hand to wipe the sweat from the older man’s forehead.
“Perhaps… perhaps Xiao Hai has used up all his energy, and that’s why he was forced to disconnect Ihe telepathy,” Yu Ming voiced an answer with difficulty as he used his hand to push the cup away from his lips, a sign that he had drunk enough water.
Wu Jingguo caught the signal, and he sighed as he placed the cup on the table once again.
“If my brother is exhausted, then he won’t be able to fight anymore, right? He will be in danger if that happens, right? Those bad people probably will take advantage of my brother’s state,” Wu Jingguo asked and also voiced his opinion as he returned to his previous seat and waited for Yu Ming to respond.
Yu Ming didn’t answer right away as he was still trying to stabilize his breathing, but then he looked at the Crown Prince as he replied, “Normally, Xiao Hai would be more tired than me since he was the one who initiated the special telepathy with me, but his condition is difficult to predict right now. Your brother is stronger than me, and his energy shouldn’t be drained easily, but it also depends on his mental state. So, I can’t say whether your brother is fine or not at this time.”
Wu Jingguo’s expression stiffened after receiving Yu Ming’s explanation. “In that case, we should go to Dong Lang to save him now, right? If he really didn’t have any energy left in his body, he would probably be killed, right?”
.....
Wu Jingguo suddenly mentioned how Wu Jinhai could be killed, and the other person in the room finally showed a reaction. After hearing how Shao Yaoting offered the antidote for the poison in Wu Jinhai’s body, Bai Chen was speechless and unable to move his body either. His mind went blank, and only his right hand moved towards the necklace hanging from his neck as his hand gently reached for the black bead on the necklace.
Only when he heard Wu Jingguo say that Wu Jinhai might be killed did he finally flinch, and he also blinked his azure eyes before looking at the two men in the room.
At this time, Yu Ming was also looking at Bai Chen, but then his dark eyes dropped from the pair of blue eyes before stopping at how Bai Chen’s hand was holding the black bead with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
Yu Ming could immediately read the meaning of the doubtful eyes, and he smiled bitterly before asking, “What are you going to do, Prince Bai Chen? Are you going to destroy the bead now? Do you want to kill him? You were afraid that Wu Jinhai would turn his back on you, and that’s why you wanted to kill him before he got the chance to kill you?”
“…” Bai Chen didn’t answer, but he could feel a sting sensation in his heart when he heard how Yu Ming questioned him in a tone full of sarcasm.
Just last night Yu Ming asked him whether he trusted Wu Jinhai or not, and he confidently answered by saying that he trusted the masked man. But by now it was probably obvious that Bai Chen was starting to doubt Wu Jinhai again, and that was why a sarcastic question had left Yu Ming’s mouth.
And that question stabbed straight into Bai Chen’s heart, and that was why he couldn’t come up with an answer to that question.
Wu Jingguo suddenly reacted after hearing Yu Ming’s question. Sure enough, the Crown Prince of Wu Li could understand the direction of Yu Ming’s question, and that was why he suddenly got up from his seat before walking hastily toward Bai Chen and roughly pulling Bai Chen’s hand away from the bead on the necklace.
Bai Chen’s hand was no longer holding the necklace now but was instead in Wu Jingguo’s grasp. When Bai Chen looked at the man who was currently gripping his wrist tightly, he could see how the older man looked angry as he continued to glare at him.
“Before you kill my brother, I will kill you first, Prince Bai Chen!” Gritting his teeth as his whole body trembled, Wu Jingguo warned Bai Chen, and he also increased the force he used on Bai Chen’s wrist, causing the Werewolf Prince to hiss in pain.
Someone sighed heavily as he witnessed the scene, and that person was none other than Yu Ming.
“You better let go of Prince Bai Chen’s hand, Wu Jingguo. We’re not in a good situation right now, so we’d better think with a cool mind for now,” Yu Ming sternly warned the Crown Prince, and what he just said was enough to avert the Crown Prince’s fierce gaze, and now that sharp gaze was directed at the fish demon.
“I know the secret of the black bead, and I also know that my brother’s life is in this person’s hands now!” Wu Jingguo looked emotional as he answered Yu Ming. “I know I’m not a good person to my brother either. When my mother’s faction forced me to usurp the title of Crown Prince from my brother, I could do nothing but obey orders. I know I am pretty useless, but I trust my brother, and all I can do now is just protect him from someone who can’t trust him!”
