Chapter 371: Nearly Exposed (1/2)

Just as Lu Wenshu was thinking about what to do, his junior rushed over to look for him.

When Lu Wenshu felt a wave of spirit qi rushing at him, he immediately drew his sword and charged at his junior.

The instant he drew his sword, Bai Luochu felt that something was wrong. She turned to face the direction where Lu Wenshu was hiding and she yelled, “Who is there?!”

Lu Wenshu knew that things were going south. It slipped his mind that Bai Luochu’s spiritual energy was much stronger than the average person. A slight mistake was enough for her to detect his presence. Without a choice, Lu Wenshu grabbed his unsuspecting junior and threatened, ”Behave yourself and shut your mouth. If she discovers us, I will push you out to take the blame.”

Lu Wenshu quickly fell into a meditative state after he spoke. He behaved like an old man on the verge of death. Even though there were weak traces of spirit qi surrounding his body, it became undetectable. It was obvious that he was trying his best to hide his presence.

”What’s going on?” Pei Rumo's spiritual energy was far inferior to Bai Luochu’s and he was much weaker than Lu Wenshu. Even though Lu Wenshu released a wave of spirit qi, he wasn’t able to detect it.

Bai Luochu clenched her teeth and an ugly expression formed on her face, ”I detected someone over there.” Bai Luochu pointed towards Lu Wenshu’s hiding spot.

The Desolate Region might be messy, but there were places where there was nothing but sand and dirt. The location Bai Luochu pointed out was suspicious and it was possible that there were experts hiding there.

Pei Rumo's expression changed drastically in response. He immediately held Bai Luochu's hand and walked towards the location she pointed out.

”I will go with you. If something happens, leave me and run.” Pei Rumo held onto Bai Luochu with one hand and he placed the other on his sword. It was obvious he was prepared for battle.

If they were able to avoid Bai Luochu’s detection, they weren’t useless cannon fodder. Also, it wasn’t possible for a group of people to hide from her. As such, Bai Luochu knew that they were facing an expert.

Bai Luochu originally wanted to pull her hand away but she decided against it. In fact, she had a guess as to who the person following them was. She knew that he was merely waiting for an opportunity to take action.

Pei Rumo was getting closer to Lu Wenshu and Bai Luochu became more certain that there was definitely someone following them. Just as they were about to expose his hiding spot, Bai Luochu stopped Pei Rumo, ”Let's go, that person is already gone.”

Pei Rumo turned around and looked at Bai Luochu with a doubtful expression. He asked in disbelief, ”Gone?”
