His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 456: Really Drunk or Fake Drunk

Yu Qing Qian and Huo Li Ruo drank to their heart’s content. In the end, Yu Qing Qian’s face was rosy, but she was very sober, while Huo Li Ruo was dead drunk.

“This kid was still boasting about how much he could drink, but he got drunk with so little.” Yu Qing Qian smiled and shook her head as she looked at Huo Li Ruo who had fallen asleep.

Feng Chen furrowed his brows faintly, “How are we going to get him back later?”

“I’ll notify the people from the Imperial Academy to pick him up, or we’ll take him back to the inn. We need to gather tomorrow anyways.” Chi Mo Ran said after thinking for a bit.

Yu Qing Qian knew that Feng Chen and Chi Mo Ran wouldn’t carry this drunkard on their backs, “Let’s notify the people from the Imperial Academy first. If no one comes, we’ll send him back.”

Chi Mo Ran nodded, took out a communication talisman and released it. A direct descendant of the Chi Clan from the Imperial Academy also participated in this mission, and they often contacted each other.

After an incense stick of time, a man in black came to the restaurant. He wasn’t the direct descendant of the Chi Clan, but another pupil of the Imperial Academy. Yu Qing Qian gave a few instructions, then he carried Huo Li Ruo away.

Yu Qing Qian three returned to the inn together too.

The pupil carrying Huo Li Ruo walked to an alley, and the man on his shoulder slowly opened his eyes.

“You’re not pretending anymore?” The man put Huo Li Ruo down and raised an eyebrow.

Huo Li Ruo’s handsome face was covered with a layer of blush, which made him look more devilish. His voice was hoarse and deep: “How’s the investigation doing?”

“In addition to Mo Tian Hall, there’s also a mysterious force that has extended itself to the mysterious sea realm, but it seems to be connected to the Leng Clan.” The man didn’t ask Huo Li Ruo why he sobered up so quickly.

Huo Li Ruo looked slightly jaded, then soothed after a moment, “Did the Leng Clan take any action?”

“I found out that the Leng Clan secretly contacted the Blood Sha Alliance, and they should be doing business. As for who they want to kill, I haven’t found out yet.” The man replied.

“Have them continue to monitor the Leng Clan and the mysterious force.” Huo Li Ruo paused, then said: “Send a team of our people to sneak into the sea realm too, I may need them.”

“Yes!” The man hesitated, then finally asked: “Did you come out of seclusion this time for Yu Qing Qian?”

As far as he knew, Huo Li Ruo’s seclusion this time was very important, and it wasn’t time for him to come out yet.

Huo Li Ruo glanced at him coldly, “You’re just assisting me, don’t be smart about unnecessary things.”

“I just want to advise you not to delay important things due to personal affairs.” The man sighed, and seeing that Huo Li Ruo’s expression was even colder, he shut up.

Huo Li Ruo snorted coldly: “Don’t worry about my affairs, if I delay things, I’ll take full responsibility.”

“Whatever.” The man and Huo Li Ruo were of a subordinate and superior relationship, so he naturally couldn’t interfere with him.

However, he constantly felt that Huo Li Ruo was strange today—it seemed that he had to report this news to his Lord.

“I advise you not to talk too much, otherwise it’s very easy for one or two people to disappear in the sea realm.” The blush on Huo Li Ruo’s face faded, revealing a coldness that others familiar with him had never seen before.

The man’s eyes deepened, mixed with a trace of anger, then he finally shook his sleeves and left, “I won’t report to Lord, I just hope you know your identity and responsibility.”

“You don’t need to remind me of this.” Huo Li Ruo closed his eyes.

The man paused, then directly left the alley.

Only after a long time did Huo Li Ruo slowly open his eyes, gaze heavy, and drops of liquid fell on the ground from his fingertips with a strong smell of alcohol filling the air.
