Chapter 375: Important Timing (1/2)
Lu Wenshu stood behind the duo and watched as they left and the view didn't feel pleasing to the eye. They didn't look like they were here to gain intelligence, they were more like a couple that were out for a hunt. Lu Wenshu felt that his plan to split them up would have to be expedited.
Not far away, Pei Rumo's candid laughter could be heard. When it traveled into Lu Wenshu’s ears, he found it extremely jarring. Lu Wenshu's juniors saw their senior waving his hand and had severed a rather thick three that was five miles away. Soon after, Lu Wenshu's voice echoed, ”Let's go.” Lu Wenshu immediately turned and left without any intention to stay behind.
The disciple that had been relaying the messages felt very curious to see Lu Wenshu in this state. After all, his senior was a person who would have the same scowling face no matter who he was talking to. Why was he so friendly to that unknown young lady? He was thinking if he should report this matter to the Sect Patriarch.
Just as this thought formed in his mind, Lu Wenshu interrupted, ”All of you had better listen up. Do not say a word to anyone about anything that happened here. Otherwise, your outcome will be the same as this tree.”
After finishing his statement, Lu Wenshu used his leg to kick the tree that he had severed earlier.
The fellow juniors were all trembling with fear. That messenger disciple, Hua Sen, thought about how he just brushed shoulders with the grim reaper. Cold sweat drenched his back and his lips were trembling.
”Why do you think Lu Wenshu came over to look for us today?” Pei Rumo felt that Bai Luochu understood Lu Wenshu very well, thus, he didn’t hold himself back when asking the questions.
Bai Luochu fell silent for a moment and she fell deep into her thoughts. A moment later, Bai Luochu spoke, ”It is hard to say. But there is one thing I can be certain of. He must be trying to make it clear that spying on us isn’t a decision made by him. According to what he said, he would be following his sect’s orders by observing our actions in the dark.”
Pei Rumo nodded in agreement, ”That's right. I feel the same way. If we discover them spying on us without knowing their intentions, it would be difficult for them to explain themselves. After revealing themselves to us, we wouldn’t be able to hold them accountable if we found them spying on us. Even though he was exposing their existence, he was taking the chance to involve us in his scheme. What a troublesome matter…”
”It seems like you understand Lu Wenshu very well?” Pei Rumo finally asked the question lingering in his mind.
Bai Luochu paused for a moment before giving a casual explanation, ”I don't really understand him that well. When I was young, no one cared about me. I would always sneak out and listen to folk tales. After listening to many stories, I managed to piece them together and form a clear understanding of the current Lu Wenshu.”
Pei Rumo fell silent in response and only spoke after a long time, ”Apologies for reminding you of your hurtful past.” Pei Rumo felt like slapping himself. If he avoided the topic in the past, why was he actively talking to her about it now?
