Chapter 175
“Pssht, I don’t believe you!” Angelica wrinkled her exquisite little nose in disdain.
“It’s up to you whether you believe me or not. Alright, I still have some other things to do, so you can go back to whatever you were previously doing.” Saying these words with a smile, Han Shuo didn’t entertain Angelica any longer, and was about to continue his way to Candice’s room.
Right at this moment, a “creak” sounded from the door Angelica had ran out from, with the great druid Caspian walked out. He glanced at Han Shuo and cried out in surprise, “Why is it you? Why are you here?”
Han Shuo smiled at Caspian and nodded amicably, then bowed and said, “Hello great druid elder Caspian; Trunks and I previously met you in the Dark Forest previously.”
“Huh, you’re acquainted with grandpa?” Angelica watched Han Shuo greet Caspian and appeared to be surprised. She looked towards her grandpa Caspian, then turned back to stare at Han Shuo.
Han Shuo laughed and was about to reply, when Caspian’s eyes lit up, and inspected Han Shuo’s body. With a smile of having figured something out, Caspian said, “So it’s you, but we should have met very recently as well, haha!”
Not long ago, Han Shuo wore a black hood, but despite that, his physique and voice hadn’t been altered. In addition, when the matter ended Han Shuo even called out Caspian’s name. Just based on these three flaws, it was not at all strange for Caspian to be able to quickly recognize Han Shuo.
With regards to Caspian’s vague tone, Han Shuo didn’t try to justify or explain anything, he just gave Caspian a profound smile and said, “I’m busy right now, so I will see you later.”
“Little Angelica, you shouldn’t disturb others when they’re busy. Come back into the room with me.” Caspian nodded understandingly, then went up to grab hold of the little elf, about to carry Angelica away.
When Han Shuo saw Phoebe, he also felt a little awkward because there was someone else present, but his skin had always been thick, so he wasn’t really affected by this. He remained properly sitting there while drinking his tea, and looked rather at ease.
The two ladies chatted, briefly narrating what they had gone through since they had last met, and focused on Valen City. As both of them had bumped into Han Shuo, Han Shuo naturally became a topic of discussion.
“Go on, why are you here in Valen City, and why do you know where I stay? Also, Candice said that you’ve been together with another woman, explain yourself!” After Phoebe and Candice had chatted for a while, Phoebe finally set her sights on Han Shuo, and she inquired him.
Candice was evidently astounded as well, so she supplemented, “Belinda is from the Calamity Church, and should have no relation to you. Why did you have her captured, and what use do you have for her? Just who on earth are you?”
The two ladies were filled with doubt, and they stared at Han Shuo hard, attempting to get a reasonable answer out of him.
Han Shuo had a prepared story, but when it was time for him to explain it, he had a headache trying to go about saying it. However, such a matter was not something that he could easily trick them with, because there were indeed many complicated matters involved.
Right at this time, Han Shuo’s brows creased, he heard another person coming from the outside. He lightly coughed, then made a hand gesture telling the two to keep quiet.
The footsteps got closer, and the room was lightly knocked on a few times, Emily’s soft voice was heard from the outside, “I know you guys are in there, can I come in?”
Phoebe and Candice both had an expression of suspicion. They turned towards Han Shuo at the same time and asked, “Who is she?”
“She’s the woman you guys have been asking about!” Han Shuo revealed a bitter smile. He could never have expected that Emily would come and stir the pot at this time as well.
If it was yesterday, when Han Shuo hadn’t done something so intimate to Phoebe, Han Shuo wouldn’t be afraid of the two of them meeting each other, but now, Han Shuo was really caught between a rock and a hard place. He thought at a rapid pace as to how he could handle the relationship between the two.
