206 SOMETHING BIG TO HAPPEN
Bai Chen didn’t bother using his brain to count the black-clothed people gathered in front of the gate of the Rongyao Imperial Palace, but he could roughly guess that there were around fifty black-clothed people in front of the gate.
Those people were fully armed with swords, and even their expressions were dark and grim, and that was why Bai Chen could feel the tension radiating from their bodies even if those people didn’t scream or shout at the moment.
Therefore, he couldn’t help but assume that those people were from the Black Werewolf Clan since indeed they were the only ones who had problems with the Emperor right now.
“Yes, they are people from the Black Werewolf Clan,” Zhu Ge replied as he also stopped walking beside Bai Chen, and his brown eyes were directed at the group of people wearing black.

The urn containing Bai Renshu’s ashes that were previously in his hand had indeed passed into Zhu Ge’s hand, but that didn’t mean his hands were now empty because he was also carrying his sword in his other hand today.
Yes, he also brought Wu Jiang today because he wanted to ask Wu Jinhai about the sword as well, but he tried to hide the sword behind his back because he didn’t want Zhu Ge and Ma Qiao to throw questions at him about the sword.
Ma Qiao had given him quite a bit of information about the white crystal on the sword hilt, and even if Bai Chen was grateful for the information, he assumed that he still needed to hear the details from the sword’s original owner, and that was why he didn’t want others to pay attention to the sword in his hand if that person was not Wu Jinhai.
Now he could only clench his sword as he could feel the tension around the Rongyao Imperial Palace, and he somehow felt a trace of worry in his heart as he imagined if those people from the Black Werewolf Clan started the chaos here in Dong Lang.

“Do you want to change your mind?”
Bai Chen could hear the question, and since he couldn’t understand the meaning behind the question, he chose to turn his head only to find Zhu Ge now staring at him instead of continuing to stare at the black-clothed figures in front of the gate of the Imperial Palace.
The question earlier was from Zhu Ge, but he didn’t understand why the man suddenly asked him that.
“What do you mean?” Bai Chen asked as he looked his blue eyes at the taller man.
“I can see that you are worried about your empire, and I wonder if you want to cancel your plans to meet Wu Jinhai today,” Zhu Ge calmly outlined his previous question, and Bai Chen was finally able to understand the meaning behind the man’s question.
Once again, Bai Chen turned his blue eyes to look at the people gathered in front of the Imperial Palace’s gate, but apart from the ferocious-looking people, he could also see around a dozen palace guards, and even if the number couldn’t be compared to the people from the Black Werewolf Clan, the presence of that guards somehow gave him a sense of security.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I won’t change my mind,” Bai Chen finally replied after pondering for a moment. “Even if the members of the Black Werewolf Clan are strong and dangerous, the Emperor still has members of the White Werewolf Clan with him, and he also still has the support of the officials and soldiers of this empire. The Emperor is also the strongest werewolf in Dong Lang, and that’s why I’m sure he will be able to handle the situation even if I leave the empire today.”
Bai Chen knew his capacities. He was just a werewolf who had lost his Power Crystal, and even if it could be said that he was part of the White Werewolf Clan, he would definitely only be a burden even if he stayed in Dong Lang to protect his people.
He knew that he wouldn’t be able to help, and he assumed that he still needed to gather more information about some things in this world from Wu Jinhai, and that was why he had no plans to change his mind even after he saw the situation in front of the gate of the Rongyao Imperial Palace.
‘The people from the Black Werewolf Clan are indeed there, but that doesn’t mean they will carelessly launch an attack on this empire. They will surely wait for their leader’s instructions, and now their leader is still inside the Imperial Palace and waiting for the Emperor’s response. I’m sure the Emperor will know what he should do in this situation,’ Bai Chen nodded his head subtly as he added the reason why he didn’t want to change his plans today.
And he also glanced at the pot that was currently in Zhu Ge’s hand, and he knew that he also still had responsibility for Bai Renshu’s ashes today. ‘Don’t worry, Bai Renshu. I won’t delay your reunion with your mother, so I will still go to the river to release you from this crazy world even if the situation in Dong Lang is like this right now,’ he once again decided in his heart, and he felt even more convinced after he thought of Bai Renshu.
So, after taking a deep breath, Bai Chen began to walk away from the Imperial Palace, and his steps were certain and definite.
Zhu Ge could see how the young Prince was walking away from him and kept moving in one direction, and he once again smiled before bringing his feet up to chase the brown-haired Prince.
The two of them continued walking to leave Dong Lang, and neither of them expected something big to happen in the empire.
