How could Wu Jinhai have a sword with a Power Crystal on its pommel? Bai Chen didn’t know how to answer the question.

Bai Chen only knew from Wu Jinhai that the sword had been with the man for many years, and that was why the sword was connected to the masked man.

It was indeed Wu Jinhai who gave the sword to him, but for some reason, Bai Chen didn’t want to reveal the man’s identity in front of Ma Qiao. He remembered when Wu Jinhai had even tried to hide the sword from Emperor Bai Guowei when they were still in the Forbidden Forest, and he had assumed that the man wanted to keep everything a secret.

“I just randomly picked up this sword in the forest. I don’t know the real owner of this sword,” Bai Chen replied, but instead of looking at the old servant while answering, he continued to stare at the sword named Wu Jiang with his blue eyes.

For some reason, he felt connected to the sword, and he didn’t want anyone to steal it from his grasp.

“You picked up a sword in the forest, Your Highness?” Ma Qiao asked again, and this time he sounded surprised. “How can you take a sword at random, Your Highness? What if this sword has an evil power that can harm you? Why are you so innocent?”

Ma Qiao even gritted his teeth as if he was trying to control his anger when he heard the brown-haired Crown Prince’s careless reply. The old servant did use the word “innocent,” but perhaps it was just a polite version of “stupid” because the old servant would definitely not dare to say that the Crown Prince was stupid.

‘In his eyes, maybe I’m like a child who can randomly pick candy on the street without thinking that the candy might be poisonous,’ Bai Chen foolishly thought to himself. ‘Oh! This world doesn’t even have candy, so Ma Qiao surely won’t think that I’m the same as the silly kids in my previous life.’

.....

Bai Chen was indeed stupid to the point where he could even argue with himself, and the sight made Ma Qiao furrow his brows even more.

The Werewolf Prince’s reasoning was random, but it was the only idea that came to Bai Chen after he heard Ma Qiao’s question, and that was why he chose to answer randomly instead of revealing the truth about the relations between Wu Jinhai and the sword.

“The forest was in chaos because of the dangerous beasts, and perhaps the original owner of this sword accidentally dropped this sword because he was too afraid of the beasts,” Bai Chen felt like laughing as he voiced another random excuse in front of his servant. “And I don’t think this sword is dangerous, Ma Qiao. It has been hours with me since yesterday, but it has done no harm to me. You don’t have to worry about this sword. The owner of this sword was just too dumb that they even dropped this fine sword.”

Imagining how someone like Wu Jinhai would drop this sword just because he was too afraid of the beast was funny enough for him. He knew that such a thing would never happen because the masked man was a brave and strong person, but it was still interesting when that image appeared in Bai Chen’s mind.

He even subconsciously smiled while imagining the impossible, and Ma Qiao even tilted his head in confusion when he saw the strange behavior.

“You are acting strange, Your Highness,” the black-haired servant spoke again. “Even if you say that this sword is harmless, I will not easily believe you. Perhaps this sword was possessed by something, and it affected you in the end. I think it is better for you to throw this sword away, Your Highness!”

Bai Chen still had blue eyes on the sword in his hand, but then he raised his head and furrowed his brows at the old servant. “Why should I throw this sword away? I don’t want to do that! I like this sword, and it will always be with me!”

Of course, Bai Chen didn’t want to throw his sword away. He just assumed that he had a special connection with the sword, but Ma Qiao easily asked him to throw the sword away. What’s more, Wu Jinhai also told him to continue carrying the sword, and that was why he was unwilling to follow his servant’s advice.

Not wanting to part with the sword, Bai Chen instead tightened his grip on the sword named Wu Jiang as if he was afraid that Ma Qiao would suddenly grab it before throwing it out of the trash.

For some reason, he also thought that the sword also didn’t want to part with him when he felt the slight trembling in his grip, and Bai Chen was even sure that he wouldn’t just throw the sword away.

It seemed that Ma Qiao realized that the young Prince was on guard because of him now, and he carefully explained to the young man, “I don’t mean anything bad, Your Highness! I’m only worried that the original owner of this sword is not a good person!”

Ma Qiao looked a little frightened, and Bai Chen finally stopped glaring at the poor servant while asking, “What do you mean?”

Seeing how the brown-haired Prince agreed to listen to him, Ma Qiao explained what he had just said, “That sword has a Power Crystal in it, and this crystal must belong to one of the werewolves in the White Werewolf Clan, Your Highness. And there is only one possibility for that.”

Ma Qiao suddenly had a gloomy expression on his face, and Bai Chen knew that the old man was not the ordinary Ma Qiao who could only joke around with him.

The old servant was very serious now, and Bai Chen was also trying to understand the meaning behind the servant’s words.

“You mean... the owner of this sword killed one of the werewolves of the White Werewolf Clan so they could obtain this Power Crystal?” Bai Chen asked, and without realizing it, the grip around Wu Jiang tightened once again.

He pretended not to know the owner of the sword in front of Ma Qiao, but actually, he knew very well that it was Wu Jinhai who owned this sword.

Wu Jinhai was from the Wu Li Empire, and he was a human. Even if the werewolves and humans had sighed a peace treaty all those years ago, it would still be possible if the two parties had secretly killed each other, but Bai Chen refused to believe that Wu Jinhai had indeed done such a thing.

‘Not. I didn’t think Wu Jinhai could do such a thing. If he did kill one of the werewolves of the White Werewolf Clan, the Emperor would definitely not welcome him to Dong Lang, and the Crown Prince would probably kill him instead of letting him live,’ Bai Chen refused to believe, and he even defended the masked man even though he only did it in his heart.

“I wouldn’t dare say that the owner of the sword did kill a werewolf from the White Werewolf Clan, Your Highness,” Ma Qiao answered Bai Chen’s question. “Power Crystals are different from Life Crystals, so even if a werewolf loses it, they can still live. That’s why I wouldn’t dare say that the owner of the sword did kill a werewolf. It’s also possible if that person fought a werewolf before taking the Power Crystal with them.”

That was a realistic explanation given by the old servant, and Bai Chen secretly agreed with that opinion. He was also still alive even after losing his Power Crystal, so he believed that the other werewolves of the White Werewolf Clan would be the same.

“You said it’s possible if that person just took this crystal without killing the werewolf, right? Then, does a crystal like this have any advantages for humans?” Bai Chen asked again when he managed to find something interesting from Ma Qiao’s explanation.

This time, Ma Qiao didn’t answer right away, but he looked like he was thinking about something. Perhaps the servant’s knowledge of the crystals was limited because the servant wasn’t even part of the White Werewolf Clan, so Bai Chen could understand that Ma Qiao didn’t know all things related to the crystals.

Bai Chen almost told the servant not to think about it anymore, but he suddenly heard the servant speak again, “Yes, Your Highness. The crystals that the werewolves of the White and Black Clans possess indeed have advantages for humans. It is said that the crystals will give power to human weapons like the one in your sword, and I also heard that the crystal can even help the dying to come back to life. You lost your Power Crystal when you tried to save a child, Your Highness.”
