Chapter 173: Whereabouts Found (1/2)
When Lu Wenshu realized that the waiter wasn’t going to give him the information he needed, he quickly interjected and stopped the conversation.
After some consideration, Lu Wenshu felt that it would be more appropriate if he phrased the question differently. “Does brother waiter know of any Bai clans in the capital city? They should be a pretty rich and well-known clan.”
That waiter muttered for a long time and he thought about how there weren't any Bai Clans that established themselves in the capital city. He immediately responded to Lu Wenshu, “Young Master, this one grew up in the capital city. Normally, my parents never bothered with me and I made my living out in the streets. All my life, I have never heard of a Bai Clan. Let alone a well known one. It might not even be part of the minor clans...”
Lu Wenshu was rather disappointed with his answer. He thought that he would be able to look for Bai Luochu, but all that seemed to be a pipe dream now.
“I have troubled you. You can go back to work now, thank you.” Lu Wenshu might not be able to obtain the information he wanted, but he still spoke politely and in an unhurried manner.
“Why is Young Master so polite? You have paid the silver and I am just doing my part. This one shall no longer disturb the Young Master. If there is anything wrong with the dishes, please let me know.” The waiter bowed slightly and went back to work.
Lu Wenshu picked at the dishes on the table. Even though they smelled great, looked delicious, and tasted amazing, all of it turned into tasteless mush in his mouth. Lu Wenshu’s mind was thinking about the time he spent with Bai Luochu in the past. She would always remember his likes and dislikes, and she would learn to cook his favorite dishes. Even though there were times when she almost burned down the kitchen, those were the times when they created wonderful memories together.
Right now, even though he was eating delicious food, the people around him changed. Lu Wenshu suddenly had a bitter taste in his mouth and he gulped down a mouthful of liquor. No one knew if the bitter taste came from his heart of the liquor.
Bai Luochu... Apart from her innate talents and beautiful features, she was the only person who understood him.
When Bai Luochu first met him, she had once said, “Young Master Lu, you might look refined and courteous when treating others, but that is a polite way of distancing yourself from them. You have a prideful heart and you wish to stand out from the masses. You formed an invisible barrier between yourself and other people in order to keep them away. Am I right?”
In the past, she was still a young and frivolous evil dao witch. She didn’t know that her title would bring about a storm of blood and carnage.
It slipped his mind that Bai Luochu was a proud young lady and wouldn’t be led by the nose. In the end, she was surrounded and killed by the Three Great Immortal Sects, bringing along her hatred and unforgiveness for him into death. Since then, he lived in seclusion and he didn’t care about how his reputation was affected. The only thing he wanted to do was protect her temple’s inheritance and disciples. He wanted to protect everything she cherished when she was alive.
