Chapter 444: Splitting Up (1/2)
When Pei Rumo heard Lu Wenshu's plan, he widened his eyes and asked with a face of disbelief, ”I didn't know that Young Master Lu is actually an expert at biting the hand that feeds you! Earlier in the passageway, you wanted to team up to fight against the others! Aren’t you pretty quick at ditching your allies?”
Pei Rumo was somewhat enraged. It was true that Pei Rumo almost suffered from a sneak attack from a foreign prince and Lu Wenshu rushed over to end the prince’s life.
...
Pei Rumo was sure that Lu Wenshu had an ulterior motive. The first thing he asked Pei Rumo was, ”Where is Luo Chu? Why don't I see her?”
Pei Rumo naturally understood what Lu Wenshu meant and immediately replied, ”They rushed inside too quickly just now and I wasn't able to catch up to them. I was forced to deal with all these people and traps in the ruins. Isn’t Young Master Lu very capable? Why are you left behind?”
When Lu Wenshu heard Pei Rumo's reply, his face had changed. It wasn’t because of Pei Rumo’s mocking, but it was because he had lost track of Bai Luochu. If this was anywhere else, it wouldn’t be an issue. However, this wasn’t any ordinary ruins. Even he wasn’t sure if he could escape unscathed, let alone Bai Luochu who was already drained of her spirit qi!
”Don't worry. Pei Qingfeng is following her and should be able to protect her.” Pei Rumo spoke while ending another person's life.
Lu Wenshu had never felt so grateful for Pei Qingfeng's existence until now. But he had to quickly catch up to them and he quickly thought of another proposal. ”Let's work together and kill our way out. The earlier we do so, the safer Luo Chu will be.” Lu Wenshu said this entirely to express his sincerity. He faced the other direction and killed everyone trying to push their way further into the ruins.
Pei Rumo didn't want to be outdone and immediately vented his anger on the people in front of him. Soon enough, the densely packed hallway turned empty.
The duo didn't hesitate and rushed out of the encirclement and into that empty space.
...
Lu Wenshu felt that Pei Rumo was messing about and he immediately retorted, ”Did you think it through? There are a total of 16 doors here and if we take the same path, it will be harder for either of us to find Luo Chu! You should know that she is after an extraordinary treasure and her chances of obtaining it alone is slim to none!”
