Under the Bloodwolf King's lead, Xiao Chen and Gu Lingyao arrived at the main hall of the front yard. Just like what the Bloodwolf King had said, he had already prepared fine wine and delicacies.
"Haha, come, come. Miss Gu, Young Master Wang, please take a seat." He personally invited Xiao Chen and Gu Lingyao to take a seat. The Bloodwolf King naturally sat on the main seat, while Xiao Chen and Gu Lingyao sat on either side of him.
The Bloodwolf King took the initiative to raise his wine glass and said enthusiastically, "Come, let me toast to the two of you."
Just as Xiao Chen had expected, the Bloodwolf King did not treat Gu Lingyao as a junior at all. Hearing the Bloodwolf King's words, Xiao Chen and Gu Lingyao also raised their wine glasses and the three of them downed the wine at the same time.
After downing the wine glass, the Bloodwolf King ate the dishes in front of him while looking at Gu Lingyao and pretending as if nothing had happened. "How is Sect Leader Gu?"
He asked about Gu Qi's situation. Hearing this, Gu Lingyao was not surprised. After all, the Bloodwolf King valued her so much because she was Gu Lingyao's daughter.
Facing the Bloodwolf King's question, Gu Lingyao smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern. My father is fine."
The three of them chatted casually. Of course, Gu Lingyao and the Bloodwolf King were the ones talking most of the time. Xiao Chen seemed to have been forgotten as he sat at the side and drank silently.
This was normal. Now that Xiao Chen's identity was Wang Huan, although Wang Huan's grandfather was the Great Elder of the Celestial Equal Sect, he was obviously inferior to Gu Lingyao. Therefore, the Bloodwolf King naturally valued Gu Lingyao more.
The atmosphere seemed to be good. During the conversation, the three of them drank a lot of wine. At this moment, Xiao Chen noticed that the Bloodwolf King's vigilance had gradually relaxed and immediately found an excuse to leave.
Hearing Xiao Chen's request to visit the Bloodwolf Mansion, the Bloodwolf King did not think much of it. Originally, he wanted to personally bring Xiao Chen and Gu Lingyao to visit the mansion. However, who knew that Gu Lingyao looked at Xiao Chen with a displeased expression and shouted.
"You're making a fuss. If you want to go, go by yourself. I'm not going."
She deliberately pretended to be angry. Hearing this, the Bloodwolf King was in a dilemma. Xiao Chen wanted to visit the Bloodwolf Mansion, but Gu Lingyao did not want to go. As a result, the Bloodwolf King naturally could not personally bring Xiao Chen around. After all, he could not leave Gu Lingyao alone here.
After Gu Lingyao's disturbance, the Bloodwolf King was in a dilemma for a moment. In this regard, Xiao Chen also saw it and pretended to be heroic. "Your Highness, please accompany Junior Sister here. I can walk around by myself."
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the Bloodwolf King thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
First of all, if Gu Lingyao did not want to go, he naturally could not leave Gu Lingyao alone here. The Bloodwolf King was clear about who was more important. Secondly, there were some important places in the mansion that were guarded, so the Bloodwolf King was not afraid that Xiao Chen would discover anything.
Thinking of this, the Bloodwolf King was completely relieved. He looked at Xiao Chen and said with a smile, "Then Young Master Wang should be careful. If there's anything, you can send someone to inform me."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Xiao Chen bowed and thanked him.
Finally, he successfully escaped. After coming out of the main hall, Xiao Chen openly strolled around the mansion. Although there were many guards along the way, they obviously knew that Xiao Chen was the Bloodwolf King's guest. Not only did they not stop him, but they were also extremely respectful.
Of course, there were some places that Xiao Chen could not enter. Seemingly having nothing to do, Xiao Chen roughly found three places that he could enter.
These three places were guarded by guards. Without the Bloodwolf King's order, no one could enter. Thinking about it, if his mother was really imprisoned in the Bloodwolf Mansion, it was most likely in one of these three places.
Xiao Chen wanted to find out where his mother was being held in these three places. After thinking for a while, he quickly came up with a target. It was a small, inconspicuous courtyard.
Located in the backyard of the mansion, this small courtyard did not have the slightest bit of uniqueness. However, there were two guards at the entrance of the courtyard. As a result, it was obvious that this place was the most suspicious.
With a goal in mind, time was tight. Although the Bloodwolf King was being delayed by Gu Lingyao, it was obvious that it would not be long. Therefore, Xiao Chen must find his mother within this period of time. Moreover, he must not arouse the Bloodwolf King's suspicion. Otherwise, the Bloodwolf King would definitely be on guard when he tried to rescue her in the future.
Without hesitation, Xiao Chen walked towards the small courtyard. Xiao Chen had already passed by this small courtyard, but this time, Xiao Chen did not go to the entrance of the courtyard. Instead, he went to a corner of the courtyard.
The entrance of the courtyard was guarded by the mansion's guards. Obviously, it was impossible to enter from there. Moreover, if he attacked the two guards, the Bloodwolf King would definitely be suspicious.
With a leap, Xiao Chen quietly sneaked into the courtyard. The illusion of the small courtyard was not bad. There was a pavilion and a few rooms. However, at this time, there was not a single person in the entire courtyard. It looked a little cold and cheerless.
Carefully looking around, Xiao Chen discovered that there was not a single person in the courtyard. Then, he went to the front of the few rooms.
Xiao Chen was not sure if this was the place where his mother was being held. Therefore, he did not dare to be careless. He gently pushed open the first room. There was no one inside. Looking at the furnishings, it should be a study room.
There was no one in the first room. Then, Xiao Chen went to the second room. Similarly, he carefully pushed open the door. This time, Xiao Chen also saw a beautiful woman in a white dress with her back facing him.
Looking through the window at the distant horizon, Xiao Chen could feel a sense of sadness from the beautiful woman. For a moment, Xiao Chen was completely stunned. Although he did not see the beautiful woman's face, how could Xiao Chen not recognize that the beautiful woman in front of him was his mother, Bai Ruyue?
He finally saw his mother. His heart was filled with excitement. At the same time, because Bai Ruyue's back was facing Xiao Chen, she did not know who the person was. However, since she was under house arrest, other than the Bloodwolf King, no one else would come here. Therefore, Bai Ruyue did not turn her head and said coldly.
"Get lost. No matter how many times you come, it will be the same."
Bai Ruyue thought that the person who came was the Bloodwolf King. However, just as Bai Ruyue finished speaking, Xiao Chen's voice suddenly sounded from behind her.
"Mother …."
Following Xiao Chen's words, Bai Ruyue's originally ice-cold face and eyes filled with sadness suddenly changed. Her body could not help but tremble slightly. Then, she unconsciously turned around. When she saw Xiao Chen standing in front of the door, Bai Ruyue's first reaction was that she was hallucinating.
