Xiao Qi waited until he had left before slowly she slowly raised her feet while she held onto the stone table for support She could feel her slihtly

She took in a deep breath and tried to calered in herherself to believe what she had just heard

Deep in her mind, she was very confident in Chu Li and she believed that he would not die even if everyone else was dead His ence surpassed that of most people He would always have a way to escape fro situations, so he would never die even if he had to go up against an Enlightened Master

However, after having lived through these past seven days with a constant sense of foreboding, she had no choice but to believe it when she heard this news

She did not want to accept it, and neither was she willing to believe it

”Puff!” She opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood Her white veil was stained red

As she pulled off the white veil and flung it aside, she opened her ain but she could notpain was tearing her apart, yet she could not let out even a groan Eventually, the colors and noises of her surroundings faded away

Suddenly, Chu Li's figure appeared before her It looked as if Chu Li was currently sitting beside the stone table, slowing lifting a teacup to take a sip from it while he smiled at her

”Puff!” She sprayed another mouthful of blood as she swayed unsteadily

Then, Xiao Qi forcefully shook her head all of a sudden — she refused to believe this news She wanted to see it for herself Perhaps the person who had died was not Chu Li but the real Lu Xuzhou
