Chapter 379: Uninterested (1/2)
“Lu Wenshu, are you crazy?! We should talk our differences out! What’s the point in attacking the moment we meet? Are you a demonic beast?!” Bai Luochu shouted furiously.
Bai Luochu felt that Lu Wenshu was really demented. Why won’t he let me off? I died miserably in my past life and he won’t let me off even in this life. I betrayed my sect for him, fought against the world in order to keep him by my side, and he took the opportunity to betray me when I was at my weakest! What the f*ck!
Seeing the person he loved protect another man, Lu Wenshu went mad with jealousy. He admitted that he wronged her in the past life. He was more than willing to spend the later half of his life to make it up to her, but she was unwilling to even look at him. WHY?!?!
He was crazily in love with her but he wasn’t able to express it. He knew that if he did, the chance of Bai Luochu living out her second life in peace would go down the drain. Everyone would turn against her and the Three Great Immortal Sects wouldn’t let her off. He lost her once and he couldn’t bear to lose her again.
When he thought up to this point, Lu Wenshu mocked himself in his heart. Seeing that he had to give them an explanation, he said with indifference, “I had a sudden urge to spar with His First Highness. I never expected Divine Physician Bai to interrupt our duel.”
Bai Luochu knew that Lu Wenshu was lying and she snided, “Oh, Young Master Lu, you’re the same as always, still thinking so highly of yourself!”
His disgusting habit of assuming that he was always right had not changed. She became a gentle and mindful lady before him in her past life but he stabbed her in the back when she least expected it. Luckily for Pei Rumo, she was present. Otherwise, Lu Wenshu would have landed his sneak attack.
Pei Rumo finally calmed down and patted Bai Luochu’s shoulder to reassure her.
“Young Master Lu is indeed in a great mood today. However, I should conserve my strength for the upcoming battle. I shall not take you up on the duel, goodbye.”
After Pei Rumo spoke, he pulled Bai Luochu’s hand as they walked back to the inn. When the scene of them leaving entered Lu Wenshu’s eyes, he hurriedly stopped them, “Please wait a moment.”
When Pei Rumo stopped walking, Lu Wenshu continued, “I was rude earlier. To atone for my mistakes, please allow me to accompany the two of you into the ruins. I have a basic understanding of the Book of Changes and if we meet with any dangers, I will be able to provide some assistance.”
