Indeed, the White-Clad Youth was none other than His Majesty Dongfang Hao of the Silver Moon Kingdom.
Last night, after lying in bed and pondering for a while, he felt that there was nothing much happening in the court and he had grown somewhat weary of staying in the palace.
It had been a long time since he last ventured into the common folk, and now that the Little One was also heading to Spirit Mountain, he thought that traveling alongside the Little One would surely keep him entertained.
Moreover, if he could seize the opportunity, he might even get a chance to visit Spirit Mountain! After all, outsiders could not access Spirit Mountain without someone from there to guide them.
So, when he heard from the Dark Guard that Lord Lo An had already sent someone to bring the Little Princess and her companions' carriage to the foot of Back Mountain Outside the City, he hurried down to the Demon Palace study to leave a note for Miyazawa, informing him that he was leaving the palace and asking him to stay in the palace during this time as his substitute.
Afterward, he quietly left the palace with his Second Shadow Guard, Ye Feng, but only after disguising himself did he exit.
Once outside the palace, they boarded the carriage that had been prepared by the Demon Palace Disciples. Dongfang Hao instructed Ye Feng to drive their carriage close to Luo Bingbing's carriage.
They waited there for Luo Bingbing and her companions. After a while of following Luo Bingbing's carriage, they finally began to trail behind them.
Although he had disguised himself, who was Luo Bingbing? No matter how much one tried to embellish their appearance, one could not hide their inherent brilliance.
Thus, at the moment Luo Bingbing laid eyes on the White-Clad Youth, she immediately recognized him as Dongfang Hao.
Luo Bingbing identified his true identity at first glance, and Xuan Ye also realized who the man in white was as soon as he saw him.
Only Snow Spirit Elder was a beat behind; at first, he thought it was just a wealthy young master. However, upon closer inspection, he noticed that this White-Clad Young Master bore a striking resemblance to the Silver Moon Emperor whom they interacted with daily.
It wasn't until he observed the Little One and his junior brother Xuan Ye's expressions shift from initial curiosity to disdain that he began to suspect that this young man in white was indeed Dongfang Hao.
The three who knew him no longer paid attention to him and directly walked into the tavern.
Meanwhile, Dongfang Hao had been secretly observing them ever since stepping out of the carriage, especially focusing on the Little One. Therefore, when he noticed the sudden change in expressions on Luo Bingbing and her companions' faces, he couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly, genuinely puzzled by why their expressions had shifted so rapidly.
However, although he felt confused inside, he did not show it. He continued to act as if he did not know Luo Bingbing at all, slowly getting off the carriage and walking into the restaurant.
Little did he know, the three of them had already recognized his true identity.
When Luo Bingbing realized that Dongfang Hao had followed them, she felt somewhat displeased. After the waiter brought the food and drinks to their table, she instructed him to pack everything up so they could eat in the carriage.
Upon hearing her words, not only was Dongfang Hao puzzled by her actions, but Xuan Ye and Snow Spirit Elder were also filled with questions. However, they did not oppose Little One's wishes.
At that moment, only one dish had been served at Dongfang Hao's table. Seeing that Luo Bingbing and the others were about to leave, he quickly called out to invite them to stay for a meal.
But how could Luo Bingbing and the others be unaware of his true intentions?
Thus, the three of them ignored him completely and headed straight for the door with their food and drinks. Dongfang Hao had no choice but to step out and block their way.
When Luo Bingbing saw that he had actually obstructed her path, she felt a surge of anger. In an unusually cold tone, she said, "You really are persistent. Instead of staying in the palace, you come here to block my way."
Upon hearing those words from Little One, Dongfang Hao was taken aback. He had clearly changed his appearance and had not revealed any clues; he simply could not understand how this Little One knew his true identity.
"Surprised?" Luo Bingbing asked mockingly as she noticed his astonished expression, feeling a slight sense of pride in her heart.
Dongfang Hao nodded lightly in response to her question.
"Let me tell you! The moment I saw you, I recognized you right away. They both figured it out too," Luo Bingbing continued, seemingly intent on delivering another heavy blow.
However, as an emperor, Dongfang Hao's mental fortitude was extraordinary; he was not someone ordinary people could compare to.
So even though he was surprised inside, he maintained a calm demeanor and immediately asked Little One, "Little Doll, how did you figure out it was me?"
Luo Bingbing curled her lips in disdain after hearing his question and lazily replied, "Eyes are the windows to the soul. No matter how much one tries to embellish or hide them, a person's true brilliance cannot be concealed."
Upon hearing the words of the Little One, Dongfang Hao couldn't help but think to himself, "So that's how it is."
Dongfang Hao glanced at the Snow Spirit Elder and Xuan Ye standing next to the Little One and asked them, "How did you two figure it out?"
The Snow Spirit Elder chuckled and said, "It's all about aura; one’s aura cannot be completely hidden."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Ye lightly nodded in agreement.
After learning the answer, Dongfang Hao felt a deep sense of reflection and quietly committed their words to memory. "Alright, enjoy your time here! We’ll take our leave now." With that, Luo Bingbing walked towards the entrance of the tavern.
Xuan Ye and the Snow Spirit Elder naturally followed closely behind. Dongfang Hao knew he couldn't stop them, so he could only raise an eyebrow and say, "Well, take care!"
When Luo Bingbing heard this, she thought he realized she had been seen through by them and decided not to follow her anymore.
However, just as she stepped out of the tavern's door, she heard Dongfang Hao calling for the tavern attendant to pack up his food and drink so he could take it with him on the road.
Upon hearing this, Luo Bingbing understood that he was determined to follow her.
So, as she got into the carriage, she warned Dongfang Hao, "You must not follow me; otherwise, you'll regret it."
But Dongfang Hao simply replied calmly, "Little Doll, is this road yours?"
"No."
"Then you go your way and I’ll go mine. Am I hindering you in any way?"
"You..."
Luo Bingbing was left speechless by his words, and with an indignant "hum," she directly entered the carriage. Xuan Ye and Snow Spirit Elder, seeing that the Little One was angry, hurriedly climbed into the carriage and quickly urged the horses to leave.
Dongfang Hao watched as their carriage departed before swiftly walking over to it and climbing aboard. Soon after, his shadow guard, Ye Feng, entered the carriage carrying the packed food and wine.
After placing the food and wine on the small table inside, Ye Feng exited the carriage and took a seat outside to drive.
They followed closely behind the Little One's carriage. When the front carriage stopped, theirs stopped as well; when it sped up, they did too.
In short, Dongfang Hao was tightly focused on Luo Bingbing in the carriage ahead.
The two of them were like playful rivals chasing each other, while Silver City was in chaos, turning upside down again and again.
Even the citizens within the city were secretly complaining. They had just finished setting up their belongings when another group came looking for the Little Princess, causing everything to be thrown into disarray once more, requiring them to tidy up again.
After that day's events, everyone in Silver City—from octogenarians to three-year-olds—knew that the Little Princess in Prince Luo's Residence was a prodigy and that this prodigy had fallen into water, not only facing imminent danger but also being kidnapped.
This was because not only had Lo An Lord sent people to turn Silver City upside down, but even Poet Sage Li Jingshan and the current emperor of Silver Moon Kingdom, Dongfang Hao, had dispatched their own men to search through Silver City thoroughly.
Their purpose was the same: to find out what had happened to the Little One.
Lo An Lord and Poet Sage Li Jingshan acted convincingly within Prince Luo's Residence, leading even those in the royal palace to believe that their Little Princess had truly been abducted!
Meanwhile, aside from the Nursemaid in Piaoyun Pavilion, all other servants had long been brainwashed by Luo Bingbing using her ability. Their minds were filled solely with the information she implanted in them.
Needless to say, upon hearing that the Little One was not only in grave danger but had also been kidnapped, those so-called masters in Fragrant Pavilion and Azure Water Pavilion were overjoyed.
As night fell, the stars twinkled in the sky, yet Kelo Palace remained brightly lit. The reason they were still awake at such a late hour was that their Little Princess, Luo Bingbing, had not yet been found, and there was no news of her. It wasn't until dawn that a Dark Guard sent by Lo An Lord quietly pinned a letter he had written behind The Hall of the Wangfu, restoring the usual tranquility to Prince Luo's Residence.
When the servants in the palace discovered the letter, they informed Lo An Lord. After he pretended to read it, he told everyone that his Beloved Daughter had been rescued by a mysterious expert from outside the world, advising them not to search for her any longer. Once this news spread from Prince Luo's Residence, the Poet Sage also disseminated it further, and soon Dongfang Hao's people were busy spreading the same information.
The result of this was that by the next day, everyone in Silver City knew that the Prodigy from Prince Luo's Residence had been rescued by an otherworldly figure.
However, Consort Luo and her companions could not find joy in this news; they believed that this so-called expert was simply meddling in affairs that did not concern them.
On the third day, Lo An Lord and Strategist Gongsun Ming left Prince Luo's Residence to return to Yang City for their duties.
With their departure, Consort Luo and Madam Xiang were overjoyed. The reason? They had left, and the power of Prince Luo's Residence had returned to their hands.
Dongfang Hao had been following Luo Bingbing for five or six days now. One morning, as soon as Luo Bingbing got into her carriage, she noticed Dongfang Hao climbing into another carriage.
Seeing that he would be following her again made Luo Bingbing frown.
Suddenly, she thought of a good idea: since she couldn't hurt him, she would trap him so he couldn't follow her.
Thus, Luo Bingbing instructed Xuan Ye to set up a formation to trap the carriage behind them.
Xuan Ye listened to the Little One's request and casually gathered a few small stones to create a very simple formation. He thought that as long as he could stop Dongfang Hao, it didn't matter how elaborate the formation was.
When Luo Bingbing saw that Xuan Ye had already set up a formation, she felt delighted thinking that this time Dongfang Hao wouldn't be able to follow her.
But before she could fully enjoy her happiness, she heard another carriage approaching rapidly from behind. Peering through the gap in the curtain of her carriage, she saw Dongfang Hao's carriage catching up again.
Seeing his carriage made Luo Bingbing's good mood vanish like a shadow without a trace.
She then had Xuan Ye set up a formation to trap them, and it was a rather powerful one. After hearing her words, Xuan Ye indeed arranged a more difficult formation to block Dongfang Hao.
This time, he not only moved over a dozen stones but also placed many items around to assist in the formation.
However, after an hour of travel for Luo Bingbing and the others, Dongfang Hao's carriage caught up with them again.
Xuan Ye and Snow Spirit Elder were slightly surprised to see that Dongfang Hao had broken the formation so quickly, thinking to themselves, "It seems this young emperor really has some genuine skills."
Nevertheless, the Little One then asked Xuan Ye to set up an even more difficult and rare formation to stop Dongfang Hao from following them.
This time, Xuan Ye combined the results from the previous two attempts and set up a formation that was extremely difficult to break and quite rare, successfully blocking Dongfang Hao and his group.
An hour passed, then two hours went by. Luo Bingbing and the others saw that there was still no sign of Dongfang Hao behind them and thought they had truly trapped him in that formation.
As the sun began to set, they arrived at a small town, which was so remote that there was only one inn. Therefore, Luo Bingbing and her companions went directly to this inn for food and lodging.
To their surprise, when they got off the carriage and entered the inn, they saw Dongfang Hao already seated in a private room enjoying his meal.
