Chapter 198: Rescued Again (1/2)
”Sister He, what is it with him?” Lily turned her head around and looked at Holly, ”We aren't monsters or beasts, so as he so scared of us?!”
Holly shook her head and said, ”Master Chu did it for our own good”
”What do you h, it's true that we should keep a distance from anyone from the public house” Holly shook her head and said, ”Sister Sun, once we're back to the valley, don't mention about this encounter to our master”
”But why?” Lily shook Holly's shoulder with her left hand, seely i hed, ”Our master's father was murdered by someone from the public house”
Lily scoffed, ”But the public house won't kill soht?”
”He killed a corrupt official” Holly replied
”Then the corrupt official deserved to die!” Lily scoffed, ”What's the fault in that?”
Lily's face turned glooet our Tai Hua Valley's rules?”
”You can't hurt an official from the imperial court” Lily pursed her lips and scoffed, ”What kind of rule is this?”
She was disgusted by this rule, as she felt that it was an act of oppressing the weak Just because someone is an official, it did notthat he wants and exploit the people!
But a rule was a rule If anyone dared to go against it, they would be banished from Tai Hua Valley Thus, she had no choice but to adhere to it
Holly said to her, ”It doesn't hteous or corrupt If you kill the they could to apprehend thesomeone Let's not talk about us, even the people from the Temple of Tempest did not dare to kill an imperial court official”
”Well that's because monks can't kill people” Lily replied
Holly said, ”If you kill an i after you, our faction would be held responsible for your wrongdoings as well”
Lily scoffed, agreeing with her unwillingly She could not argue with that
Holly said, ”Just think of how our e her father's death, yet she must avoid herself frory whenever she hears someone mention the public house So, please don't upset her!”
”This is so frustrating!” Lily ad silence, the usually quiet Fei finally spoke, ”It seems that this Master Chu knew about our ently exhaled
”It's not that everyone in the public house is evil, right? Just look at Master Chu, he's such a kind man” Lily said
”Such a shame that he's with the public house” Fei proclai out another scoff
Holly looked towards the direction in which Lei had left After a while, she sighed, ”Let's go, we should be on our way too”
”Sister He, the Yi public house is in Chong Ming Town, right?”
”Yes”
”Why don't we head to Chong Ming town too, so we can catch up with Master Chu and follow him”
”Do you want to infuriate our master?” Fei said
Lily rolled her eyes at her, ”She doesn't need to know”
Holly said, ”Fro to do with us either Let's not disturb him”
Lily looked disappointed She pursed her lips to show her dissatisfaction
The three then left the kiosk and got onto their horses
The weather in , the nextabove, covering the Sun in the sky
They quickened their pace, but they were unable to avoid the rain anyway Before long, it was raining cats and dogs
However, they did not dare to stop halfway, because there was a risk that the rain would not stop anyti would only make it more difficult to continue their journey They had no choice but to brace the heavy downpour and kept on going The ordeal made the them
After half a day's journey, they finally reached within vicinity of a small town ------ Desolate Town They hurried their way into the town and scrambled for shelter They found an inn and checked into a rooed their clothes, cleaned themselves and dried their hair
When they were outside again, the sky was already getting dark
The rain however did not stop
Thus, they went to the h the food there were not as good as the ones in the restaurants, they had toas it could fill their stomachs
As soon as the three ladies stepped into the lounge, everyone's turned their attention towards them
They were already used to this kind of situation They swept a glance to the left side of the rooht Finally, they found what they were looking for Sat there at one corner of the room, was Lei Chu
Lily pulled Holly and Fei with her, as she walked towards Lei's table with excitement She smiled at hilanced around the room and realized that every other table was fully occupied Only his table had seats left
He earing an embroidered silk robe, a treasure sword strapped to his waist The jade on his waist shi+ned brilliantly like a watery gleaave out an aura of masculinity as he sat there The patrons of the inn were usually shady people who spent all their lives avoiding attention from people like Lei Thus,as far away from him as they could
”Master Chu------!” Lily called out to Lei, unhappy that he was unresponsive towards her presence
Lei smiled at her and nodded, ”Please, have a seat”
Holly flashed a s, Master Chu”
Lei returned her a sain so soon”
”Please, allow us to foot the bill for your meal” Holly requested him ”As a token of our appreciation”
Lei swiftly nodded, he did not hesitate this tiht scru dishes It turned out that he had already pre-ordered those dishes prior to their arrival All eight dishes were the most expensive ones from the menu
Lei was born into a rich family, hence it made sense that he ordered the best dishes He would not pass on the opportunity of giving hiirls then ordered a few more dishes The Tai Hua Valley faction were quite well-to-do too
”Master Chu, we're going to Chong Ming town too” Lily said as she poured a cup of wine for Lei She smiled and continued, ”We share the same destination”
”Sister Sun!” Holly creased her eyebrows
