Chapter 42 (1/2)
Old Liu gasps deeply Then, he asks, “Who is the de for?”
“No idea Most of the identities of these Shadows have been concealed, to the point that even we don’t know much about them”
Old Liu conte a bitter smile, “If it was to hunt down a Shadow that the de to kill in the Immortal City, then the identity of the Shadow must be exceptionally important Who could it be?”
Someone suddenly harru Cloud Division, but the number of Shadows beneath, be it in the open or in the shadows, are multiple times of our numbers How can it be easy to find an individual of the lot?”
Old Liuis a capable worker If I recall correctly, the number of Shadows he is in contact with should be the most numerous of us all?”
No one replies his before speaking quietly, “Perhaps, it ht just be a coincidence But if it isn’t, then… there is a traitor a us”
Old Liu looks around and s around to leave As he departs, faint s can be heard froer be at peace…”
Pah!
A rabbit suddenly thrown on the table scares Old Ma He lifts his head to look at Lu Chen and asks, “What are you doing?”
Lu Chen sits opposite to hi So, today I went to the mountain to catch a wild rabbit for you so as to accompany the wine”
Old Ma looks at hihtful?”
Lu Chen replies, “It was convenient for me”
Old Ma grabs the wild rabbit by the ear and scans it, “Is this rabbit poisoned?”
“It isn’t I don’t do stuff like that”
Old Ma spits and looks at Lu Chen in disdain, “I don’t think that there is anything that you won’t do The poison that you had used against others back then should be enough to kill everyone in this village!”
Lu Chen answers seriously, “I didn’t say that I never poisoned others What I meant was that there isn’t any need to poison you Never will I do pointless stuff like that”
“The hell!” Old Ma directs a kick towards Lu Chen, and he dodges it without difficulty Then, Old Ma carries the rabbit and walks pompously to the kitchen at the back
An hour later, a large pot of stearant braised rabbitthe salivation of others
Lu Chen offers a rare praise to Old Ma, “Looks like your skills aren’t bad”
Old Ma wipes the sweat off his forehead and gleefully says, “Of course!” Then, without inviting Lu Chen to dig in, he picks up the chopsticks, grabs a piece of the rabbit e motions
Lu Chen chuckles and picks up his chopsticks as well Just as he is about to stretch his chopsticks out, he hears an indistinct ‘hm‘ from Old Ma’s mouth, and he spits out the rabbit meat onto the table
Lu Chen frowns, “What’s wrong? Can it be that you really ness?”
