Chapter 289: Chapter 290: Verification of Identity

The rage in his heart diminished slightly, but his tone remained rather harsh.

"In that case, fetch me a piece of damp cloth, so I can clean my face for you to get a good look as to whether I am Bai Zheng or not."

Keli remained silent, his eyes narrowing slightly.

As the lord of the Upper Beast City, he was neither too foolish to think so preposterously nor too wise. Otherwise, he would have been the ruler of the kingdom and not have ended up in a remote and poor place like this!

A wave of uncertainty swept over him. What if, as the man claimed, he was sent by the ruler of the Kingdom?

Seeing Keli in hesitation, Yali pestered relentlessly.

"Father! You can’t possibly believe what they are saying! Even though I haven’t met Young Master Bai Zheng, I’m certain he’s not the kind of Beastman who would fight at the drop of a hat! Humph! He’s trying to act as Young Master Bai Zheng just because he’s a Divine Brave Warrior! He clearly doesn’t show you any respect!"

Keli’s face darkened, but it was not aimed at Bai Zheng, but at Yali!

"You fool! Shut up!"

Regardless of whether or not the Beastman in front of him was Bai Zheng, he could tell that the man held a certain status in the Kingdom just by his linen clothing. And if he really was Bai Zheng, wouldn’t his own foolish cub have offended the man?!

Unfortunately, Yali was oblivious to this and pouted sulkily, "Father..."

Keli shot him a fierce glare, suddenly finding himself missing the one he had chased away...

That youngster wasn’t just handsome, but also intelligent. It was a shame he hadn’t awakened his superpower, and besides, he wasn’t of Keli’s bloodline...

Upon seeing this, Bai Zheng laughed mockingly without any hesitation.

"Sheesh...You’ve reached the status of a Divine Brave Warrior, you’ve come of age, and yet, you can’t even defeat me without crying to your father for help. Had I not been sleep deprived recently, I could’ve defeated you in a single move. You’re really disgracing our race of White Fox Beastmen!"

"You!"

Yali was so angry that he panted heavily!

"Enough! What are you all arguing about!" Keli shouted loudly and instructed the Beast Soldiers nearby, "Find a piece of Beast Skin, wet it and bring it over!"

"Yes!"

Bai Zheng looked somewhat displeased, "I wanted linen! If it isn’t available, then fetch the skin of a Fire Fox Beast. Its skin is soft enough not to scratch my face."

Keli looked calmly at Bai Zheng, "This isn’t the Kingdom, there’s no surplus linen or Fire Fox Beast skin here. If you’re willing, then wipe; if not, leave immediately!"

Bai Zheng’s temper flared up instantly, preparing to argue with Keli.

Fengyin hurriedly stopped him, whispering, "Young Master, let’s clean your face and prove your identity first! You need to eat something and rest a bit now!"

No sooner had he finished speaking, than Bai Zheng’s stomach gurgled. Bai Zheng stopped arguing with Keli immediately.

Soon, the Beast Soldiers brought over a piece of damp Beast Skin. It was the skin of a Long-eared Beast, fairly soft. Seeing it, Bai Zheng felt slightly relieved.

After his face was cleaned with the help of Fengyin, he looked confidently at Keli.

"So? Can my identity be proven now?"

Keli laughed heartily, approached Bai Zheng and patted his shoulder, "Sure enough, it’s you, you rascal! We met just last warm season and I would never have thought you’d become more handsome! I almost didn’t recognize you! You can’t blame me!"

Bai Zheng grinned, "How could I?"

His eyes mischievously fell on Yali, who was already frozen in shock.
