Chapter 284: Help (2) (1/2)

With the help of the men that He Changdi had brought, the daring barbarian attackers were quickly captured. It was only when the grave-looking Mo Chenggui had come over to ask Wenqing about the situation that he found out He Changdi had chased after Chu Lian alone.

Mo Chenggui quickly gathered a group of men to chase in the direction that He Sanlang had gone.

By the time he realised that he was already on horseback and racing away, He Changdi wasn’t sure what he was thinking.

He was in disbelief with himself. He clearly hated that woman since she had caused his terrible fate in his past life. Now that he had reincarnated, he should be skinning her alive and torturing her for revenge. When had his feelings towards her started to change?!

As the cold winds howled in his ears, He Changdi’s heart was a mess. He had just realised that he couldn’t put a name to his feelings towards Chu Lian in this life. However, one thing was clear. At this extremely critical juncture, he didn’t want anything to happen to her, at least not now.

When He Changdi came across the gravely injured Wenlan with a dead Tuhun next to her, his expression turned even gloomier.

He asked Wenlan about Chu Lian’s whereabouts. He only had enough time to throw a bottle of wound salve to Wenlan before racing off again.

The Tuhuns!

He Changdi’s eyes turned into black holes of loathing. He gritted his teeth, feeling the urge to tear apart every single Tuhun he could find!

He harrumphed in his heart. Hadn’t that wicked woman been full of tricks in his past life? She would get things done by hook or by crook and her thoughts had been so orderly and refined. In his past life, she had driven him to such a terrible fate. How had she turned into such a weakling in this life? She was actually getting chased to death by the Tuhuns!

Hmph! Useless!

While He Changdi was complaining inwardly, it was only a deeply buried and undiscovered part of his psyche that realised his complaints were meant to reassure himself.

It was as if remembering how wily and vicious Chu Lian was would mean that she would turn out perfectly fine while being chased by those Tuhuns. Weren’t troublemakers supposed to have an extensive lifespan? What was getting chased by two measly Tuhuns in the grand scheme of things? She was definitely going to be alright.

He Changdi gripped his reins even tighter and whipped his horse forward. Even though He Sanlang normally loved horses, in the current circumstances, he couldn’t care about his own precious steed.

He followed the hoofprints left by the Tuhuns and finally caught sight of them ahead.

As he chased from behind, He Changdi saw that there was a red chestnut horse galloping wildly in front of them. A small figure was sprawled over its back.

The worries in his heart lifted the moment his eyes finally landed on Chu Lian. As expected, this wicked woman was a scourge on the earth. How could something happen to her so easily?
