Bai Xiaohei was not surprised by Qiuyun making him hide his ears, he was very clear that discrimination between races was unavoidable. Forget about the world he was currently in, even if it was his previous life's world's racial discrimination, it was still very serious. Humans were creatures that liked themselves as their center, and when it came to existences different from his, they would view them with hostility, or even contempt.

In Beast Realm, humans believed themselves to be high and mighty, viewing beasts as inferior existences, and beings of lower species as more inferior existences. Thus, the living conditions of the hybrid species in the human world must be especially difficult.

When the two of them left the small forest, it was already almost noon. It was currently midsummer, and the noon sun had already risen high in the sky, making the burning sun shine as if it was in the middle of a furnace. In the past five years, Bai Xiaohei had practically lived around a leather skirt on the island, where would he go to wear his clothes? Therefore, not long after, Bai Xiaohei was drenched in sweat under this kind of damnable weather!

As a girl, Qiuyun had been frightened earlier so her stamina was not very good. The two of them had only walked for around an hour after leaving the forest before she completely could not take it anymore. Coincidentally, there was a big tree by the side of the road, so Bai Xiaohei suggested that they rest under the tree for a while.

Of course, Qiuyun would not reject Bai Xiaohei's suggestion, so the two of them went under the tree to rest. Although the air was still hot and stuffy, the sinister sun that covered the air gave Bai Xiaohei and Qiuyun a feeling of rebirth.

Qiuyun took off the water bottle on his belt and drank a mouthful from it, then handed the water bottle over to Bai Xiaohei, who was extremely hot, and started to drink the water from it. Only after drinking half a bottle of water did Bai Xiaohei recover from his shock, and after handing the water bottle back to Qiuyun, he lazily leaned against the big tree and sat on the ground!

Since he had nothing better to do, Qiuyun began to chat with Bai Xiaohei. The content of the chat, on the other hand, revolved around Bai Xiaohei's background and how he had survived the Ten Thousand Beast Forest for all these years!

Bai Xiaohei had read too many online novels in his previous life, so his ability to fabricate a story was not just for show. After making up a bunch of nonsense, Qiuyun could only nod his head, while Bai Xiaohei got more and more excited as he spoke.

Just as the two of them were chatting, a large troop of soldiers suddenly came over from the end of the road. These soldiers numbered around 2000, and each of them had a helmet and armor on, and every single one of them had their head lowered, sweat dripping down their chin onto the ground. Furthermore, Bai Xiaohei even found a number of injured soldiers among the soldiers, it looked as though they had just returned from a battle!

Seeing these soldiers, Bai Xiaohei frowned, then asked Qiuyun: "Sister Qiuyun, what are these soldiers? Is there a place to fight? "

"..." The war cannot be considered to be at all. Three prefectural cities in the northern part of the Empire rebelled a year ago, so these should be soldiers who went to suppress the rebellion! " Hearing Bai Xiaohei's words, Qiuyun's face turned somewhat strange, and he replied in a low voice!

"Rebellion? Why would there be a rebellion? Is there a famine? " Bai Xiaohei was stunned for a moment after hearing Qiuyun's words, and then asked closely!

"No!" Ever since His Majesty ascended the throne, the domestic political situation has been very stable. Although there are times when natural disasters have struck some areas, the victims under the wise rule of His Majesty have all been properly taken care of. " Qiuyun shook his head and said!

"Then why is there a rebellion?" Bai Xiaohei was starting to understand more and more. If according to what Qiuyun had said, Long Hao was an enlightened ruler! Why would there be a rebellion under such an enlightened ruler?

Nearly thirty years ago, before His Majesty ascended to the throne, something had happened. At that time, His Majesty was almost killed on the outside, and the late emperor was furious about this matter, but after finding out the truth of the matter, he realized that it was his other brothers who wanted to kill the late emperor, so the late emperor demoted all the princes to civilians and sent them to the remote areas. This time, the one who rebelled against him was the county where the princes are located. Qiuyun explained!

Hearing this, Bai Xiaohei nodded his head, he had heard of this matter before when he was at the Imperial Palace, and the current crown prince was the biological son of one of the princes who was demoted to a commoner. This was because Bai Xiaohei suspected that the one who tried to kill Long Xin in secret was the current crown prince, but unfortunately, he was a cat then and there was no evidence, so he did not do anything.

Now that he heard about the rebellion inside the Dragon God Empire, Bai Xiaohei suddenly realised something. After being silent for a while, Bai Xiaohei turned to Qiuyun and asked: "Sister Qiuyun, with the royal family's strength, there's no need for Princess to go to that whatever school to study, right? There are so many experts in the palace, it would be much better to find a random princess to teach than to study at that academy. Why would His Majesty send the princess to study at the academy? "

"..." Xiaohei... Hehe ~! When I call you by that name, I think of that kid from five years ago! Unfortunately, it was no longer there! Don't you know, five years ago, when the princess was being mischievous, she took me and another maid out of the palace to play, and on the way, we met with many dangers. After that, after we returned to the palace for more than two years, Her Highness encountered many dangers, the most serious one of which was when the princess' horse suddenly ran into the depths of the Ten Thousand Beast Forest during the Autumn Hunt. If not for that little fellow risking his life to protect the princess, we might have died a long time ago! "

Later on, we investigated and found out that someone had used a flying needle to prick Her Highness's horse's butt, which was why the horse lost control and charged into the depths of the forest with the Princess. That time, because of that little fellow's death, the Princess was heartbroken for a long time, and even fell seriously ill once, and during that time when the Princess was sick, the Princess was assassinated twice by an unknown assassin.

"His Majesty was greatly angered by the assassination attempt on the princess and had ordered a thorough investigation, but in the end, there was nothing to investigate, so in order to protect the princess, he sent the princess out of the palace to study in the Dragon God Academy. It is rather strange, but ever since the princess went to the Dragon God Academy, she has not encountered any assassination attempts."

Listening to Qiuyun's story, Bai Xiaohei frowned. He was very clear that the crown prince was behind this matter, but he still could not understand why the crown prince would want to kill Long Xin, because Long Xin was just a second daughter, who was unable to inherit the throne in the Dragon God Empire. She did not pose any threat to the crown prince, so it would be understandable if the crown prince wanted to kill the second prince.

In his heart, Bai Xiaohei secretly made up his mind. He had to think of a way to clarify this matter, although his feelings for Long Xin originated from his lover from his previous life, being able to meet him in this life could also be considered fate. Since he had met with this in this life, then he would definitely control this matter!
