Chapter 770: Sad News (1/2)
Everyone in the hall was full of anticipation. After all, the daughter of the Lu had praised the man so much. This great prodigy might become their future son-in-law.
However, the majority became disappointed after he stepped into the hall.
This person was too… dark and couldn’t be described as handsome. His complexion resembled the bottom of a heavily-used pan.
They started questioning Lu Yinyin’s taste.
Even Madame Lu frowned, not to the point of disgust but she certainly didn’t like him. After all, people put a big emphasis on visuals. This youth didn’t fulfill this requirement.
Bi Ningshuai didn’t mind at all, still in high spirits. He walked with his head held high, arching his chest and his butts. He stood in the middle of the hall and put on a bashful smile: “So many people here already, how fun. Don’t keep on staring at me, eat! Drink!”
The members of the Lu had dark lines on their forehead, infuriated. They glared unhappily at Lu Yinyin.
Another person among the crowd grimaced - Xie Honglian. Her eyes nearly shot out fire. The scholar sitting next to her was smart enough to shift to the side, not wanting to be caught in her rampage.
Bi Ningshuai felt something off about this atmosphere, especially when his eyes met with Xie Honglian’s. He could see some words clearly written on her face, “You’re courting death.”
He had goosebumps and tingles from top to bottom; his thighs started twitching since his body instinctively wanted to run.
Shit, what the hell is going on?! She can’t possibly think that I have something to do with this Lu girl?!
This ain't any of my business! Feiyun’s the one who left behind all of these romantic debts, I’m only an errand boy… stop staring at me like that death glare! Wait, is she moving closer… what’s that sound... Why are my teeth chattering?
His thighs twitched intensely, almost like a poor cow that had just slept with one hundred bulls - as exhausted as can be.
Feiyun was standing next to him, invisible. The guy had no intention of helping him while sending a mental message: “Run and I will tell Xie Honglian that you have spent beautiful nights with several prostitutes in that one brothel city.”
His body was already tilting backward, on the verge of running. Alas, he gritted his teeth and revealed a smile looking worse than if he were crying. “I’m here bearing bad news…”
He handed Lu Yinyin the badge, the one she gave to her benefactor. She caressed the badge, feeling something pulling on her heartstring: “Benefactor… he…”
“He died in Endless Land and I personally cremated him, this is all that’s left.” Bi Ningshuai took out a black jade urn from the bag on his shoulder. He put on a sad face then gave it to her before wiping off some tears, looking as sincere and sad as can be.
“During his last moment, he told me that he didn’t have many friends in life but you were special. It was as if he knew you from the previous life, that’s why he wishes that you’ll be the one to put him to rest so that he can at least have someone burn some paper money for him. He said… that you’re… his…”
Feiyun rolled his eyes since Bi Ningshuai was making up everything.
For his trip to Mount Potala, he only wanted to finish this karmic string with Lu Yinyin then get the blood from Lu Liwei and talk to the scholar. That’s why he let Bi Ningshuai use this excuse in order to infiltrate the place.
“I’m, I’m what of his…?” Yinyin was whimpering while biting her lip; her body trembling slightly.
“He passed away before he could finish speaking.” Ningshuai revealed with a regretful expression.
Feiyun got the urge to choke the guy for doing this to a girl.
Yinyin embraced the urn and sobbed for a bit before running out of the hall. The seniors from the Lu didn’t stop her because the majority of them loved her. Even her father who was very strict let her be. After all, all parents would find it unbearable to see their daughter stricken with grief.
