Chapter 454: Can’t Bear to Par (1/2)
The soldiers who didn’t know what was going on almost fell over in fright. They were shocked that Pei Rumo would sentence all of them to death the instant they appeared.
“Your Highness, this subordinate knows that we were negligent and we are willing to accept any punishment.” The deputy general continued kneeling down and pleaded with sincerity.
Pei Rumo frowned and stared at them with a puzzled expression on his face. Only after he saw the look on their faces did he realize that they had misunderstood him. “I’m not referring to you guys.”
The deputy general saw that Pei Rumo wasn’t in a good mood and hence didn’t pry further. Instead, he turned around and asked, “Your Highness, what should we do next?”
Pei Rumo then tossed a spiritual ring into the deputy general's hands.
“Assign a large part of our force to escort this spiritual ring back to the capital city. Leave several elite squads here with me. I still have things to do here.”
Even though he didn’t understand what Pei Rumo’s intention was, he knew that as a subordinate he only needed to follow his orders.
Compared to the deathly stillness outside, the atmosphere inside the ruins was much better.
Not long after Bai Luochu entered the hidden chamber, she heard footsteps sounding out behind her. She raised her sword and prepared to kill the person following her, but before she could slash out, she heard a soft sigh from a familiar voice.
“Sigh, Luoluo, don’t you think you are lacking a bit of conscience? In order to protect you, I ended up like this, yet you are planning to abandon me now.”
When Bai Luochu heard his voice, tears welled up in her eyes and her vision became blurry. He gave up his chance of escaping to follow me in!
“Why didn’t you leave?” Bai Luochu asked with an expression of disbelief.
Pei Qingfeng let out a soft chuckle after he heard the worry in Bai Luochu’s voice. “Because I can’t bear to leave you.” Even though his tone wasn’t all that serious, she knew that he wasn’t lying.
A sigh and a chuckle sounded at the same time.
The person who sighed was Pei Qingfeng as he never expected that out of all the beauties he knew, he would fall for this blockhead. After realizing his feelings for her, he also realized that he was willing to trade his life for the opportunity to follow her wherever she went. After all, to him, life was merely something that lasted for tens of years. The only thing that mattered was the joy he felt during the time of his existence.
The person who had chuckled was Bai Luochu as she didn’t expect that Pei QIngfeng and Lu Wenshu would act so differently at the crossroads of life. Pei Qingfeng didn’t hesitate in the slightest when he chose to die with her.
