It was already dark when Bai Suzhen returned to the mansion. She walked into the hall where the Five Dragon Envoys were waiting. When they saw that Bai Suzhen had returned alone without Xiaoqing, they looked at each other and their eyes all fell on Bai Suzhen.
Bai Fu stepped forward and asked, "Miss Bai, where is our boss? Why didn't she come back with you?" Ziying said that after the princess asked her questions, she went out alone. She must have gone out to look for Miss Bai. But now Miss Bai is back, but the princess is not. This is really strange. Could something have happened? Bai Fu suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. He looked at Bai Suzhen, but saw that Bai Suzhen looked tired. She frowned slightly, sighed softly, and her eyes were a little vague: "Qing'er...she has left."
"Miss Bai means that our boss has left and will never come back here?" Bai Fu was a little surprised, and everyone else was also very surprised. Only Heimian sighed secretly in his heart. He looked at Bai Suzhen with complicated eyes, and vaguely guessed the reason why the princess left suddenly.
Bai Suzhen was stunned for a moment, feeling empty inside. Xiaoqing left so decisively, maybe she would never come back here again, and she would probably have to stay alone in an empty house in the future. She smiled sadly, looked at Bai Fu and others, sighed softly, and said, "I think you will leave too?" Since Xiaoqing left, Bai Fu and others would probably follow her, so the Bai Mansion would be empty except for herself, with no one else.
Bai Fu hesitated and looked at the other four envoys. They all nodded slightly. Since the princess had left, they should naturally leave as well. After all, they were not familiar with Bai Suzhen. They only lived in the Bai Mansion because of the princess. Now they had no reason to stay here any longer.
"Since the eldest has left, the five of us will naturally go to look for her." Bai Fu and the four envoys said goodbye to Bai Suzhen together: "Miss Bai, please take care of yourself. The five of us will say goodbye now."
Bai Suzhen nodded and said, "If you want to leave, I won't keep you." She turned her eyes and looked at Heimian: "Heimian, please come with me for a moment. I have something to ask you."
Bai Suzhen turned and entered the inner hall.
Bai Fu, Zi Ying and the others all looked at Hei Mian with questioning expressions. Lan Hun couldn't help but step forward and hooked Hei Mian's shoulders, saying in an ambiguous tone: "When did you become so familiar with him? Before leaving, he even talked to you."
"Go away, go away, don't bother me." Heimian pushed Lanhun away and said impatiently: "If you like to talk to her, just go in."
“No, no, no.” Lan Hun waved his hands repeatedly and said, “Forget it. I feel uncomfortable all over when I see this Bai. I always feel like I’m being restrained. Until now, I still can’t figure out how deep her cultivation is.”
Ziying sighed softly and said, "If she wants, she can ascend to heaven in broad daylight." Everyone was silent. They all knew in their hearts that what Ziying said was true. If Bai Suzhen wanted to ascend to heaven in broad daylight and become an immortal, it would not be a difficult task with her level of cultivation. Unfortunately, she was bound by the mortal world and seemed to owe others a favor. Her path to becoming an immortal would have to be postponed for the time being.
"Okay, Heimian, Miss Bai is still waiting for you to ask questions, go quickly." Bai Fu urged.
Heimian's face fell and he looked dejected. He followed her into the inner hall reluctantly, came to Bai Suzhen's door and knocked.
Bai Suzhen's gentle voice came from inside the room: "Come in."
Heimian entered the room, looked at Bai Suzhen, and forced a smile, "Miss Bai, what do you want from me?"
Bai Suzhen's eyes were deep and profound. She looked at Heimian steadily and spoke slowly: "Heimian, let me ask you, what is Xiaoqing's identity? Why do you call her a princess?"
"Ah? This..." Heimian was stunned for a moment, frowning with a headache. Bai Suzhen could ask anything else, but she had to ask this question. Wasn't she deliberately making things difficult for him? He remembered that the princess had told him not to reveal her identity to Bai Suzhen. If he told Bai Suzhen about her identity, he would certainly be scolded when the princess found out about it in the future. Besides, how could he disobey the princess' order? Well, this question could not be answered. Heimian weighed the pros and cons again and again and decided to remain silent.
Seeing that Heimian was unwilling to answer, Bai Suzhen was not anxious, but just said lightly: "Heimian, you can choose not to answer my questions, but there is always a way to get the answer to what I, Bai Suzhen, want to know." She paused, her eyes moving, full of confidence, "Have you heard of mind reading?"
"Mind-reading spell?" Heimian was stunned and looked at Bai Suzhen in disbelief. "Can you read minds?"
Bai Suzhen nodded: "Yes, you can decide whether to answer my question in person or force me to use mind reading on you."
Heimian's face fell, and he sighed in his heart. He knew about mind reading, which was a spell to read other people's minds. It had been lost for a long time. He never thought that Bai Suzhen knew how to use mind reading. If so, even if he wanted to hide the princess' identity, as long as Bai Suzhen used mind reading on him, she could easily read what he knew in his heart and know the truth. After hesitating for a moment, Heimian finally had to compromise. Rather than letting Bai Suzhen read his mind, he would rather tell the truth. Even if the princess blamed him in the future, he would be helpless.
"To be honest with you, Miss Bai, our boss is actually the third princess of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea."
"The third princess of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea?" Bai Suzhen was shocked.
