Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

356 THE REAL SHAO YAOTING

“What? Has Shao Yaoting been talking all this time? I know that he’s the head of the Black Werewolf Clan, but I’ve never met him in person, and that’s why I don’t know his voice and also his face,” Wu Jingguo broke the silence in the room as he looked curious after hearing the last sentence spoken by Yu Ming.

Wu Jingguo might not know Shao Yaoting, but Bai Chen knew the man, and that was why his face was colored with shock at this moment after he heard how Ma Qiao introduced himself as Shao Yaoting, head of the Black Werewolf Clan.

“What’s going on here?” Instead of answering Wu Jingguo’s question, Bai Chen muttered to himself, and he tried hard to smooth out the tangled threads in his head.

But he and Wu Jingguo weren’t the only ones who were confused after hearing what Ma Qiao had just said. In a different place but at the same time, Wu Jinhai also looked like he didn’t understand what Ma Qiao had just said.

He had somehow predicted that Ma Qiao had been falsifying his identity all along, but he couldn’t understand why the old man had said that he was Shao Yaoting, head of the Black Werewolf Clan.

Wu Jinhai was not just an ignorant man born yesterday, and that was why he immediately shifted his gaze to look around him more carefully, but he failed to find what he was looking for.

“Are you looking for my younger brother, Your Highness?” Ma Qiao spoke again from the throne, and Wu Jinhai finally turned to the old man again with a frown on his forehead.

“Your younger brother?” The Eldest Prince of Wu Li asked when he was now even more confused after hearing Ma Qiao’s question.

“Yes, younger brother,” calmly, Ma Qiao confirmed. “Perhaps only old people know about it. So, it’s understandable if a young man like you doesn’t know the story, Your Highness. Even those old folks might have forgotten what happened to me all those years ago, but I still can’t forget it.”

.....

Wu Jinhai frowned, and in a different place but at the same time, Bai Chen also furrowed his brows after hearing Ma Qiao’s next statement. The old man had just mentioned his younger brother, and Bai Chen somehow assumed that Wu Jinhai had just been trying to find “Shao Yaoting” in Zuigao Hall.

Yes, Wu Jinhai might have tried to find the Shao Yaoting they had known all along, but then Ma Qiao said that that person was his younger brother. To make it more confusing, Ma Qiao also mentioned an incident that happened many years ago, and Bai Chen had no idea what the old man was talking about.

“That was probably around thirty years ago,” Ma Qiao’s voice sounded again, and Bai Chen focused his attention on Yu Ming again. “Thirty years ago, I tried to start a coup in Dong Lang, but someone managed to find out about my plan, and that person even intercepted what I was about to do in this empire. Not only that, but that person managed to injure me so badly that I even had to seclude myself for a few years. Not only was my body heavily injured at that time, but even my face was ruined because of that old bastard. That’s why people probably no longer remember the original appearance of the Black Werewolf Clan’s head.”

“…” Bai Chen still didn’t say anything.

Ma Qiao said that the incident happened thirty years ago. Back then, Bai Chen had still not been born, which was why he knew nothing about the incident the old man was talking about.

He also didn’t hear anything from his father or the old people in Dong Lang about the accident that happened to the head of the Black Werewolf Clan, and that was why he didn’t show any reaction at this moment.

“Back then, news of my defeat spread like wildfire in Dong Lang, and it damaged my reputation as the head of the clan. Not only my reputation was destroyed, but my Power Crystal too. That’s why I had to go into seclusion to heal myself with just the Life Crystal in my body. I also needed to repair my ruined face, but fortunately, my friend from the demon realm helped me to get back on my feet at that time.

After several years, news about the head of the Black Werewolf Clan once again spread in Dong Lang, and it was said that the clan head finally left his seclusion at that time. Everyone believed the news, but what came out to the public at that time was not me. Instead, it was my younger brother who previously covered his face with a mask, Shao Yang. We faked Shao Yang’s death before asking him to replace me as clan head, and he has been using my name since then as well. That’s how you all were fooled by Shao Yaoting.”

Bai Chen’s face stiffened after hearing what Ma Qiao had just explained. He didn’t really know the family tree in the Black Werewolf Clan, and he only knew that the head of the clan was called Shao Yaoting. He had met that man several times, and absolutely no one doubted the man’s identity as the clan head, but it turned out that the man was just a fake clan head?

Bai Chen really couldn’t believe it. The person who appeared as Shao Yaoting all this time was actually Shao Yang, and the real Shao Yaoting disguised himself as a servant named Ma Qiao?

It was too complicated, but Bai Chen only wanted to know one thing at the moment: why did the real Shao Yaoting do all this?

Unfortunately, Bai Chen wasn’t in the same place as the old man he previously knew as Ma Qiao, but luckily, Wu Jinhai seemed to have guessed his question as the man’s voice sounded again, “Another person pretended to be you all these years while you were hiding as a lowly servant named Ma Qiao under Bai Chen’s wings. What was your real goal?”
