Chapter 471: Hua Sen’s Stand (1/2)

The Lin couple looked at each other and thought Pei Rumo was going to treat them leniently because of Bai Luochu and was immediately about to thank him. Even Lin Qianqian felt that things were taking a turn for the better.

They fell from heaven to hell in a single second.

”The Lin Family's master and madam colluded with outsiders to frame a descendant of a loyal subject. According to the law, the entire family shall be executed. Seeing that it is your first offense, the entire family shall be banished into the northwest Barrens, you shall start moving today.”

Once Pei Rumo finished his statement, numerous imperial soldiers marched in and surrounded them. It was obvious that there was no room for negotiations.

The trio were shocked by the sudden change in events as they were immediately banished without any chance to struggle. Pei Rumo watched as they were being taken into custody and felt that it was meaningless as the Lin Family didn't have any moral integrity at all. After keeping the betrothal gifts, Pei Rumo was preparing to leave but didn't expect someone to actually call out to him.

”Your First Highness, do you also think that my Mistress will never return?” The person who spoke up was none other than Cai Ling who was tasked with taking care of the residence.

Pei Rumo was shocked when he saw Cai Ling again. He thought that the general’s residence was empty but someone was actually left inside.

”I have no idea as well. However, I shall clean the residence so that if she returns, she will have a place to stay.” Pei Rumo left without turning back after leaving his explanation.

Back at Lu Wenshu’s side, Hua Sen sealed his acupoints and dragged him back to the sect. Despite returning to their sect, no one cared about Lu Wenshu’s wellbeing. Instead, Hua Sen was dragged before the elders and questions about the treasures in the ruins rained down on him.

Hua Sen refused to say anything. He simply removed his spirit ring before throwing it at the elders.

Hua Sen was enraged when he learned that everyone was fixated on the treasures rather than Lu Wenshu’s injuries. ”Is none of you worried about what happened to Senior Lu Wenshu?”

Hua Sen's voice wasn't loud but every single word echoed through the hall clearly. ”Your senior should be fine, after all, he’s strong enough to endure those injuries. He’s fine.”

After the reply, they treated as though Hua Sen didn't exist and continued to study the treasures. A chill crawled up Hua Sen’s heart. He didn't think that his senior who had lost almost everything because of the sect, ended up abandoned for several treasures… Are they all heartless creature
