Chapter 440: Out of Spirit Qi (1/2)

The both of them were not the only ones feeling restless. Though Lu Wenshu was quietly observing from the side, the uneasiness in his heart grew every second.

Initially, his plan was to observe Bai Luochu from the sidelines and only swoop in to grab the precious treasure once the men from other factions were tired from fighting amongst themselves. To him, everyone else was as good as cannon fodder! The only thing that was important to him was being able to stay by Bai Luochu’s side.

In his plan, Lu Wenshu had already calculated that Bai Luochu would step forward to try and open the door. He knew that she would be unable to stop herself after realizing that everyone else is unable to do so. Of course, she wasn’t doing it to help the rest.t Instead, she wanted to obtain the Field Pearl Flower in the ruins. Bai Luochu is a cultivation maniac. If she is able to hold herself back from opening the entrance to the ruins, she won’t be the Bai Luochu in my memories.

Since Lu Wenshu felt that everything was going according to his plan, he did not bother about Pei Qingfeng who was beside her the whole time.

The only surprise he got was when Pei Rumo tried to force his way through the barrier.

Lu Wenshu heard rumours about Pei Rumo before. He was the First Prince of the Cloud Water Nation and a person who could remain calm under any sort of pressure. Even if the skies were to come crashing down on him, he would still be able to maintain his cool composure and act as if everything was under his control. Looking at the current Pei Rumo who wanted to disregard everything and rush over to her side, Lu Wenshu felt that something was wrong. Something is definitely wrong… Why are they so anxious? Did something happen to her?!

Lu Wenshu knew that if he went to check up on Bai Luochu, he would be injecting an element of chaos to his plans. However, nothing mattered more to him than her well-being. However, just as he took a step towards her, he was intercepted by Hua Sen.

Hua Sen used his hand to block Lu Wenshu and said, “Senior Brother, you have used up too much of your spirit qi! Moreover, you were disrupted by those meddlesome b*stards when trying to meditate. As your Junior Brother, I hope that you will rest up before jumping into the fray.”

“Let go of me…” Lu Wenshu said in a grave tone as he prepared to shove Hua Sen away.

Hua Sen had no intentions of allowing Lu Wenshu to do as he wished and he grabbed Lu Wenshu by the wrist.

“What’s wrong with you!? What audacity! How dare you try and stop me?!” Lu Wenshu cried out in confusion as Hua Sen had never defied him before.

“I won’t punish you. Just let go of me!” There were only two reasons preventing Lu Wenshu from slapping Hua Sen away. Firstly, he didn’t want to throw his reputation away in front of so many other factions. Secondly, he was trying to save his energy to protect Bai Luochu in case she met with danger after they entered the ruins.
