Chapter 415: Putting on a Show (1/2)
“Senior Brother, I went to check up on the ruins and didn’t notice anyone in the vicinity. The ongoing sandstorm is getting heavier and the tracks left behind have already been covered up.”
“No one has been snooping around the ruins? What is going on? Even those people from the Cloud Water Nation didn’t approach the ruins?” Lu Wenshu felt that the news was pretty incredible.
His junior brother braced himself for a scolding and said, “That… that is indeed the case. I will never dare to slack off when Senior Brother has given the order. I carried out your instructions with utmost care and if I lied to you, you may punish me as you deem fit.”
Lu Wenshu had always trusted this junior brother of his. Otherwise, he wouldn’t hand over so many important tasks for him to handle. Ignoring the report for now, Lu Wenshu felt a headache coming because of another matter. He couldn’t understand the reason behind Bai Luochu’s indifference to the whole matter. If it was the Bai Luochu of the past, she would have leveled the ruins after suffering a tiny setback from it. Of course, with her current abilities, she didn’t have the power to level the ruins. At the very least, she should be investigating the ruins, right?! Why are there no movements on their side? Could it be… could it be that she didn’t take the antidote?
Li Wenshu couldn’t help but panic slightly, “Let me ask you another question. It’s about someone called Luo Chu in the Cloud Water Nation group. Did she meet with any accidents these few days?” According to Lu Wenshu’s understanding of Bai Luochu, she should feel extremely grateful for the timely delivery of medicine and she would consume it immediately. It didn’t make sense for her to not make a move…
The junior was stunned for a second. After racking his brains, he recalled the person Lu Wenshu was asking about. He quickly started to explain, “Senior Brother, are you talking about Divine Physician Bai whom I delivered medicine to?”
It was Lu Wenshu’s turn to be stunned. After all, he was afraid they would become suspicious that he was showing so much concern for a random person he had only recently been acquainted with. If they dug up everything about her, he was afraid they might find out about her reincarnation. However, his desire to know Bai Luochu’s condition outweighed everything and he quickly regained his senses. “Yes, is there any news about her?”
His junior brother’s expression became a little ugly and Lu Wenshu instantly guessed the outcome. He wasn’t willing to accept it and he continued asking, “Just tell me everything you know. As long as there is any news about her, let me know immediately. I won’t take my anger out on you as long as you report truthfully.”
Lu Wenshu fell backwards into his chair as his legs lost all strength. He mumbled to himself, “She still hates me… She hates me for betraying her…”
When his junior brother heard him, thoughts ran wild in his heart. Who is he talking about? Did Senior Brother get together with another woman after the evil dao witch’s death? If that is the case, his weird behavior and care for her is totally reasonable.
However, before his thoughts ran completely wild, Lu Wenshu’s next sentence dragged him back to reality.
“Immediately head over to the inn now. If there are any movements on their side, head back and inform me. Do you understand?” Lu Wenshu never felt so helpless in his life.
As for his junior brother, he disappeared in a flash. He left Lu Wenshu alone in the room to drown in his sorrows.
