327 WU JINHAI’S MASTER

Who would have thought that Yu Ming had such a tragic past? After regaining his memories from his past life, Bai Chen remembered how he often visited the Red Pavilion to play with the male prostitutes there. Every time he visited the place, he was always greeted by Yu Ming, and the man looked so carefree and cheerful every day.

Yu Ming liked to tease any man as if the sky would fall tomorrow if he didn’t do that, and Bai Chen thought that someone like that man must have a very smooth life. He did not expect that Yu Ming also had a dark past like himself.

“I witnessed how my father killed my mother, and that’s why I started to hate him. I started my rebellious phase back then. I often left the house without telling my father, and I secretly infiltrated Wu Li to learn how humans usually live their lives. Perhaps because I was closer to my mother than my father since I was young, I grew up more like my mother than my father, and that’s why I wanted to live in the human realm rather than the demon realm. That’s also the reason why I started following Wu Jinhai, thinking that I may be able to take responsibility for what my father did to him.”

Yu Ming lost his mother when he was eight years old and resented his father afterward. He was still very young back then, but it seemed he was able to quickly find his true self after the tragedy that happened to his mother, and because of that, he even dared to make the big decision to leave his clan and start living in the human world, away from those people who were related by blood with him.

“But I couldn’t believe him right away even after he told me everything about himself,” Wu Jinhai suddenly chimed in from the side after he had been a listener for a while.

“You didn’t believe him right away, but why? Is it because he’s the child of the demon who poisoned you?” Curious, Bai Chen asked Wu Jinhai as he turned his head to look at the man sitting next to him.

“That’s part of the reason, but there’s another reason besides that,” Wu Jinhai replied. He glanced at Yu Ming for a moment before continuing, “I thought Yu Ming was just a pervert, and that’s why I didn’t believe him right away back then.”

Everyone seemed speechless after hearing Wu Jinhai’s casual explanation. Perhaps both Wu Shun and Wu Jingguo had known the truth about Yu Ming, and perhaps they had heard such stories from Wu Jinhai, but the two of them still stared at Wu Jinhai in disbelief after the masked man finished speaking.

Even Yu Ming looked helpless even though this was not the first time he had heard such excuses from the younger man. “Wu Jinhai said that I looked like a pervert because I kept observing him from afar, and I even secretly observed him from underwater. Besides that reason, the fact that I didn’t try to save him when he was about to drown in the river also added to the reason why he couldn’t trust me,” he explained.

Right. Bai Chen had just remembered the story about how Yu Ming had secretly observed Wu Jinhai when he almost drowned in the river, but instead of helping the little boy, he chose to do nothing at that time.

“Why didn’t you try to save him back then?” Suddenly, Bai Chen also sounded irritated as he once again asked the question he aimed at Yu Ming.

He thought that, if Yu Ming had saved Wu Jinhai back then, he would not have accidentally given his Power Crystal away, and he would not have grown up as a weak and useless Werewolf Prince in Dong Lang.

That was indeed an unfortunate incident for him, but when Bai Chen thought about it again, he knew that all of this was fate, and maybe he wouldn’t be able to find a soulmate if that event didn’t happen.

“I just thought that I didn’t need to save him,” Yu Ming voiced a reply as he glanced at Wu Jinhai one more time. “He was as pitiful as I was, and that’s why I thought death might end his misery. That’s why I didn’t try to save him at that time.”

“…” Once again, Bai Chen fell silent after hearing what Yu Ming had just said to him.

“He was just saying nonsense,” Wu Jinhai chimed in again, and he sounded irritated once again. “Don’t you remember when he said that he followed me because he wanted to be responsible for what his father had done to me? He clearly said that, but then he said that it was a death that could save me. It’s complete nonsense, right?”

This time, it looked like Yu Ming would have to admit defeat as Wu Jinhai hit the sore spot directly. He opened his mouth a few times as if to rebuke the younger man, but in the end, no sound left his mouth, and it might really be true that he was defeated this time.

“Stop holding that grudge, Xiao Hai!” Finally, it was Wu Shun who came between the two men. “I was looking for you back then, and I finally found you together with Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming also explained everything to me, and he also apologized to me for not helping you quickly when you were about to drown. He said that he was still too naive back then, and that’s why he foolishly thought that you would be able to rest in peace if you died.”

Hearing how his father defended Yu Ming, Wu Jinhai looked even more irritated. Annoyed by the situation, he even kept glaring at the black-robed man sitting across from him.

“And you shouldn’t forget one thing either, Xiao Hai,” Wu Shun spoke again as he witnessed how his son still held a grudge about what happened all those years ago. “Xiao Ming has helped you a lot since that day. He taught you many things, and he even helped you with medicine to help you hide your golden scales. Behind his back, you recognize him as your master, don’t you?”
