Chapter 405: Exposed (1/2)
What next? When he thought about the time she tried to sneak into the Empress Dowager’s birthday banquet, he almost laughed out loud. She had just started her cultivation journey and she already set off for the imperial palace. Her fearlessness knew no bounds. If he wasn’t there to cover for her, she would already have been executed by a palace guard.
Back when he had asked her to “treat his legs”, she even extorted a large amount of favors from him. Not to mention that he had even tried to invite her over for several meals. Furthermore, when she had been framed and blackmailed by others, he was also the one who cleared her name. It was as though she didn’t learn her lesson as she continued to run around, treating other people. She didn’t even bother spending time with the person who saved her life.
Not to mention the incident at the Falling Cloud Mountain Range. He already confessed his feelings to her and it was pretty obvious he was madly in love with her. He initially thought that he was merely interested in her. However, he only realized his true feelings when Lu Wenshu unleashed his strongest attack. He discovered that he was willing to give up his life to save her. It was a pity that she didn’t get his meaning during his confession and he even wanted to open up her brain to see if she had something called ‘feelings’.
After that incident, he failed to find another chance to confess to her and she started her plan to scheme against the Phoenix King Valley. To help her, he even made a move and invited the inner valley disciples for dinner.
Too bad she had already shut out all her feelings for men. If not for Ling Xian’er, he was afraid that she would bury her feelings for him deep in her heart. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had to thank that mischievous little monkey. Without her, god knew when he would be able to discover that she had feelings for him.
Even if the two of them were separated by mountains of knives and rivers of lava, he would be more than willing to cross them all as long as she showed some interest in him.
He didn’t expect himself to sneak into the Desolate Region to look for her...
He accidentally let out a laugh when he thought about his ridiculous actions. Thanks to that, he revealed himself. Before he knew it, Bai Luochu’s poisoned needles were right in front of his face.
Bai Luochu let down her guard as she thought that there wasn’t anyone else in the inn. She didn’t spread out her spiritual energy and she didn’t notice Pei Qingfeng until the laugh left his lips. In a state of panic, she threw her poison needles towards him without bothering to find out his identity.
“Who's there!”
After a long while of silence, Pei Qingfeng started to tease her, “Divine Physician Bai’s poison is lethal indeed. If not for my quick reactions, I would be a corpse lying in your courtyard.”
