Chapter 429: Bai Luochus Plan (1/2)
After Honored Tian Yun came over to discuss things over with Ling Xian'er, her bellyful of grievances dissipated. Too bad that a man-made storm was about to rip into the Desolate Region despite its calm and peaceful exterior.
Bai Luochu felt that it was better for her to make preparations in advance. The current Lu Wenshu was just like an unreasonable maniac who wouldn’t stop at anything to achieve his goals. It was better for them to be prepared for anything that might come their way.
As soon as her eyes recovered, Bai Luochu didn’t stop concocting elixirs. She never slowed down her cultivation progress either.
At nightfall, a shadow suddenly flashed into Bai Luochu's room. Sensing that it was someone she knew, Bai Luochu’s heart seemed to calm down. She circulated the spirit qi in her body and slowly opened her eyes.
”You are truly getting increasingly bold. Can’t you let me know in advance before jumping out to scare me in the middle of the night?” Even though she seemed a little angry, a smile broke out on her face as she addressed the mysterious presence.
The visitor scratched his head in embarrassment as he spoke, ”I didn’t have the time to inform Mistress in advance. Please forgive me.” The mysterious presence was none other than Ying Lan.
When she realized that there might be an urgent report, a serious expression appeared on her face. Bai Luochu sat upright and waited for Ying Lan to start speaking.
”Mistress, I heard your discussion with the Second Prince and the First Prince. It seems like the battle is about to start soon. Is Mistress really planning to go?” Ying Lan's tone didn't change and his expression didn’t falter. He already knew her decision and he was merely here to go through the formalities before starting to plan his next course of action.
Bai Luochu’s eyebrows arched upwards and she asked, ”You don't want me to go?”
Ying Lan suddenly cupped his hand and lowered his head, ”This subordinate doesn't dare to. I merely wish to hear Mistress' plan.”
”Alright. Tell me what you will do if I refuse to head over to the ruins.” Bai Luochu leaned forward and used her hand to support her chin as she stared at Ying Lan with an amused smirk.
Ying Lan immediately straightened his back and said, ”If Mistress doesn’t wish to go, I will stay here and protect you at all costs. If you wish to head over to the ruins, this subordinate will carry out the original plan of contacting the Qing siblings and gathering as many of the remaining members of the temple as possible.”
”Who do you want to protect me from if I fail to head over?” Bai Luochu wished to know if Ying Lan was guarding against the same person as she was.
”Mistress must be jesting. The greatest threat to Mistress in the Desolate Region is definitely Lu Wenshu.” Ying Lan spoke indifferently.
”Therefore, I need to make sure that his actions won’t be able to harm Mistress.”
