Chapter 264 Isn't she giving me too much credit?
As late autumn approaches, everything is bathed in golden hues.
Xue Lan stayed in Fuyang City for a few days, wandering around the city in her spare time, and when she wasn't free...
When he was busy, he would stare at Lu Feng.
Even knowing that those gray-white eyes were blind, Lu Feng still wanted to die when that eerie gaze fell on his back.
So he ran away.
The protagonist, a favored son of heaven in the plot, ran away from Fuyang City on the second day after arriving, preferring to stare blankly at the bountiful rice fields below rather than return to the city to face Xue Lan.
Fortunately, the man seemed to have other matters to attend to in the city and did not chase after him.
The young man glanced at the girl beside him, who was engrossed in reading some messy manuscripts, and couldn't help but ask, "She's been so scary these past few days! Did I offend her in my past life?"
Xue Tong was looking at the novel manuscript she had recently obtained from Cao Yike when she heard this and smiled slightly: "It's probably pretty close!"
Lu Feng's face turned pale instantly: "Huh?"
Xue Tong turned a page of the manuscript: "I can't say much about other things, but I can give you some advice: stay away from Cui Wu."
Lu Feng wasn't stupid; upon hearing the girl's words, he immediately understood what was going on.
The young man's face immediately turned very ugly.
He still couldn't forget that day at the back mountain of Lujia Village, when the girl in black placed a sharp blade against his own neck, and uttered those words as cold as ice:
"Go back..."
Seeing Lu Feng's sudden change in expression, Xue Tong knew something was wrong.
The girl threw down the manuscript in her hand and approached the young man: "It's not that you wouldn't really..."
She slapped the young man across the face, making a crisp sound.
A chill crept into the girl's voice:
"Go back to Fuyang City!"
Xue Tong's strength was great, directly pulling Lu Feng out of his memories. Upon suddenly hearing the girl's words, the young man couldn't help but tremble.
"Am I crazy?" Lu Feng jumped up from the ground!
"Isn't she giving me too much credit?" The young man stared at Xue Tong, his face full of despair, as he looked at the red mark on half of his face.
"How could I dare!"
Xue Tong looked at the expression on the young man's face, as if he was considering the truthfulness of Lu Feng's words.
After a long silence, she looked at the young man and slowly spoke, her tone filled with deep helplessness: "Xiao Lu, I believe in you..."
A joyful smile appeared on Lu Feng's face, even though it was only a half-finished product.
The next moment, he heard Xue Tong change his tone: "But my belief is useless; my elder sister's belief is necessary."
"How about this? To prove your innocence, you go and have my sister perform a soul search." Xue Lan said with a sweet smile, her tone as relaxed as if she were chatting casually.
"Don't worry, if you become an idiot, I'm willing to uphold morality and take care of you for the rest of my life."
Lu Feng looked at Xue Tong and shuddered. He wanted to slap himself twice.
Who am I talking to? The person who almost shot me to death in the Garan Secret Realm!
The young man's smile faded, and his voice stammered, "Maybe we shouldn't..."
He shakily sat back down in his seat. He heard Xue Tong's voice.
"Lu Feng, the choice is yours." The girl picked up the manuscript that had fallen to the side and continued reading, without glancing at Lu Feng again.
"If you want to die sooner, you can go and provoke Cui Wu."
"After all, Xue Lan only needs you now, she can't do without you."
These words were devoid of any emotion or fluctuation, yet they sent a chill down Lu Feng's spine. He felt the chill of Guangye City in the relatively warm autumn of the southern region.
It was a naked, undisguised threat.
These two sisters...
They all have a gentle and kind appearance, but in reality, they are ruthless and cruel.
On this day, Lu Feng sat on the edge of the field, watching the busy farmers and the golden wheat fields opposite him. He swore a solemn oath.
He would die a horrible death if he ever got even one step closer to Miss Cui.
Heaven did not react, but he didn't care anymore.
Even if Heaven doesn't intervene, there's still Xue Lan, isn't there?
That evening, Xue Lan glanced at Lu Feng, who was eating with his back to the group, and then looked at Xue Tong.
"what happened to him?"
Xue Tong swallowed a piece of pork rib and transmitted her voice: "I don't know, the child is all grown up now, he knows how to avoid suspicion, right?"
Xue Lan: ……
He's quite a late bloomer.
Linden and Cui Wu noticed the awkward atmosphere at the dinner table. After exchanging a glance, the former chose not to provoke Xue Lan and lowered his head to eat his rice.
The latter, however, intends to break this eerie silence.
So Cui Wu cautiously asked, "Senior Sister, is there something you know?"
Xue Lan turned her head: "What is it?"
Cui Wu put down his chopsticks and twisted his fingers: "It's Second Senior Brother..."
The woman hesitated, looking very conflicted.
Xue Lan spoke calmly: "Speak."
Tears welled up in Cui Wu's eyes: "Second Senior Brother is fighting bravely in the desolate region. I heard that he..."
In the short period that followed, Xue Lan learned that Zhu He had provoked a Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivator in the desolate region, resulting in the breaking of six of his ribs. In the end, it was only through the intervention of Daoist Ziyun of the Jiangyun Sect that he was brought out alive.
Xue Lan smiled faintly, her chopsticks striking the edge of the bowl with a crisp sound.
The woman's voice was tinged with laughter:
"He's pretty good!"
Xue Tong and Lu Feng remained silent, focusing on their food and pretending not to hear.
Cui Wu smiled faintly and remained silent, elegant and composed.
Lyndon looked at the woman beside him, his eyes filled with shock!
Lyndon: It wasn't you...
Cui Wu: What's wrong with me?
Lyndon: It's nothing, as long as you're happy.
The second half of the meal was extremely agonizing.
The next morning, Cui Wu escorted Xue Lan to Luoxia Mountain. As they parted at the city gate, the woman bowed slightly to Xue Lan and said, "May your journey be smooth, Senior Sister!"
I also wish my second senior brother peace and safety.
Xue Lan reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, speaking softly:
"She's become more lively, and also more thoughtful!"
Cui Wu smiled and said, "Give my regards to my second senior brother!"
Xue Lan thought to herself that her second senior brother probably wouldn't recover, but she had always doted on this junior sister, so she nodded upon hearing this.
"understood."
Lin Deng stood behind Cui Wu only after Xue Lan and the others disappeared into the horizon.
The woman in front of her turned her head slightly to look at her, her tone tinged with amusement: "Why did Prime Minister Lin have to run so far?"
Lyndon sighed: "It's just about seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune."
"Miss Cui mentioned meeting your family before, why don't you set off now, while I'm still in Fuyang City?" the young man suggested.
As she spoke, she thought to herself that this must be her fate to be a busybody, always finding work wherever she went.
"Then I will trouble Minister Lin. Cui Wu will be there in two days."
"Two days?" Lyndon asked, somewhat surprised. "I'm afraid that won't be enough."
"Five days, maybe. Two days to go home and visit family. Even livestock can't be managed like that!"
Cui Wu's beautiful eyes were like blooming peach blossoms.
"Thank you very much, Minister Lin!"
Linden shuddered, sensing a strange pity in Cui Wu's eyes.
Very scary!
