Chapter 1190 - Just Once (1/2)

After telling Nie Huang that he had found Hua Lin Yu, Bai Mu wasn't quite sure how to continue. Since he had already promised him, he definitely wouldn't tell Xin Lan. But he still had to inform somebody. It wouldn't be good if they continued to search needlessly. After pondering for a moment, he raised the transmission stone again and contacted Fu Min instead.

The dragon answered almost immediately. ”Any luck yet?”

Bai Mu nodded, his expression a little awkward. ”Yes, I found him. He was actually outside the city. Nie Huang and I will bring him back.”

Fu Min raised his brows, not having expected that. ”He was actually outside of the city? Well, I guess we could have searched for him quite long then. Anyway, it's good that we know where he is now. I'll go and tell the others.”

”Thank you.”

Fu Min already wanted to cut the connection and go tell the others when he saw Xin Lan and Hua Lin Rong turn back into their street. ”Which gate will you come back through? I'll tell Xin Lan so he can go over and wait for you there.”

”Ah …” Bai Mu had wanted to prevent this from happening. Now, he couldn't just ignore it though. ”That … Can you not tell him? Hua Lin Yu mentioned that he didn't really want to see him right now.”

Fu Min froze and then glanced at the person that had already come closer. There was no way that Xin Lan hadn't heard that just now. He really didn't know what to say. This obviously wasn't a good situation.

”Fu Min?” Bai Mu called out, trying to get his attention back. He couldn't see what was going on around Fu Min so he had no idea that his words had actually been overheard by the person in question. ”Can you take care of this? I think that considering the current situation, it would really be best to just let Hua Lin Yu return first. We can still try to clear up anything else later on.”

Fu Min cleared his throat and then finally nodded. ”Sure.” Although he wasn't sure what Xin Lan would have to say to that.

He finally cut the connection, put the transmission stone back in his spatial ring, and then looked at Xin Lan wryly. ”I … have no idea what is going on.”

Xin Lan looked at him for a moment longer before he turned away and just left. He really didn't want to talk about it. For now, nobody needed to know.

Hua Lin Rong watched his receding back and then glanced at Fu Min and Fu Heng, nodding before he left as well. At first, he wanted to rush after him but finally, he just went back to the palace on his own. Right now, he really didn't know what to say to Xin Lan. This whole situation was so awkward.

The two dragons stood on the road alone, keeping quiet for a moment. In the end, Fu Min heaved a sigh of relief. ”That was probably the worst situation I've been in for a while. Anyway, since he has been found, we should also return.”

Fu Heng raised his brows and then reached out to grab Fu Min's sleeve and pull him back. ”Didn't you forget something?”
