Chapter 374: So-Called Chanced Encounter (1/2)
”Senior, these people surrounded us in the past. We can’t let them leave.” The junior disciple who had been reporting to Lu Wenshu spoke up.
Bai Luochu's men weren't going to be outdone as they reported, ”Your First Highness, Divine Physician Bai, these are the suspicious people we discovered entering the Desolate Region. We fought them in the past and cut off the corner of their clothes.”
Bai Luochu raised her brows. She didn't think that Pei Rumo's slow-witted soldiers could actually carry out their tasks properly. They were definitely incredibly talented if they were able to take the upper hand when fighting against members of Lu Wenshu’s sect.
Even though her thoughts were running wild, Bai Luochu was prepared to step in to mediate the situation. Before she could speak, Lu Wenshu interrupted her with a burst of hearty laughter. ”Hahaha, I didn't think that my juniors would meet the First Prince’s subordinates. I wanted to make their enemies pay but I never thought that we are all on the same side. What a coincidence! We are all friends here…”
Pei Rumo spat in his heart while thinking. What the f*ck… Those people standing on the same side with you would be killed without knowing why. How are you able to gloss over such a serious matter with a simple claim of coincidence? I thought that I was unscrupulous when it came to achieving my goals… Well, you’re the true master in that sense.
No matter how he despised Lu Wenshu, he didn’t show it on his face. He forced himself to smile and he exchanged cavities with Lu Wenshu, ”That's right. When my subordinates delivered the message, I chided them for being rude to our guests. I hope Young Master Lu will forgive us boorish people. After all, we are all barbaric soldiers. We don’t have Young Master Lu’s perfect etiquette.”
The soldiers turned to face each other with an expression of dismay. They were at a loss of what to do as they thought that they were fighting with their opponents. From the looks of things, Lu Wenshu and Pei Rumo knew each other and they even seemed to be friends.
Bai Luochu knew that the soldiers were confused but she couldn’t be bothered to explain anything to them. She turned to Lu Wenshu and asked, “What is Young Master Lu doing here?”
Bai Luochu already had the answer in her heart but she was rather confused with Lu Wenshu's arrival. After all, he wasn’t one to take the initiative. He is definitely plotting something sinister.
When Lu Wenshu heard her question, his expression changed. He asked with extreme concern, “I am under my sect’s orders to patrol the area.”
”Patrol? Does the Desolate Region belong to your sect?!” Bai Luochu immediately followed up with a question. If Lu Wenshu didn’t give them a clear explanation, no one would be walking away today.
But so what? He had done so willingly. Even if she was a femme fatale, he would willingly get into trouble for her.
