Chapter 432: Feigning Civility (1/2)

Bai Luochu rolled her eyes at Pei Qingfeng and felt that he was pretty hilarious. Seeing how quickly he pushed the blame to others, his princely image in Bai Luochu’s heart started to diminish.

When Pei Rumo looked at the interaction between the two of them, he hastily tried to stop them. “Let’s not talk about this anymore. Someone is coming over to look for trouble.” He raised his chin and gestured towards the incoming Lu Wenshu.

Initially, Lu Wenshu was thinking that he should approach the three of them as naturally as he could. Now that they had discovered his presence, he couldn’t be bothered hiding any longer. “Have you been well? Is Divine Physician Bai’s eyes healed?” There was no way for any of them to find fault with his words. His greeting wasn’t overly warm but it allowed him to pull his distance closer to them.

Bai Luochu laughed coldly in her heart after hearing his ‘greeting’. Seeing that Lu Wenshu was showing concern for her eyes the moment they met, Bai Luochu almost spat in his face. If not for the unique smelling incense in her room and Ying Lan’s questioning, she might even think that she was hallucinating when Lu Wenshu broke into her room.

However, she couldn’t expose him in front of Pei Rumo and Pei Qingfeng as she was afraid they would immediately fight him to the death over the incident. She could only feign civility as she returned Lu Wenshu’s greeting, “I thank Young Master Lu for the concern. My eyes are fine now.”

When Pei Qingfeng saw how Lu Wenshu was trying to get Bai Luochu’s attention, he cautiously made his way in between them. After blocking Lu Wenshu’s vision, he spoke up, “Young Master Lu can rest assured. You don’t need to bother about Luoluo’s injury. Even if she can’t see, I will take good care of her.” His intentions were clear. My Luoluo is perfectly fine without you by her side, f*ck off.

Lu Wenshu could only laugh awkwardly. The perfect image he tried to build cracked.

Even though Pei Rumo wanted to continue embarrassing Lu Wenshu, his personality wasn’t as unrestrained as Pei Qingfeng. His words weren’t as sharp and his mind didn’t move as quickly. In the end, he thought for half a day before uttering out a casual greeting. “This little one is doing very well. Please do not worry about my well-being.”

Lu Wenshu discovered that there was no point in continuing the conversation and he quickly found an excuse to leave. He decided to activate the ruins after arriving at some deserted location.

“There are still some sect members absent… Let me go and welcome them.” Lu Wenshu snickered as he got ready to leave.

No one expected Bai Luochu to break the awkward silence after Lu Wenshu’s announcement. “Young Master Lu, please be on your way.” She gestured for him to leave and she raised her head to reveal a knowing smile. She didn’t break eye contact as she stared at Lu Wenshu the entire time.

Speaking of uncomfortable, Pei Qingfeng was feeling even worse when he looked at the two of them staring at each other. When Lu Wenshu finally left, he couldn’t hold himself back as he grumbled in a low voice, “What’s there to look at? Are you not afraid of hurting your eyes?”

“Are you talking about me?!” Bai Luochu turned to Pei Qingfeng and asked with an incredulous expression on her face.
