Murong Yunshu did not imdiately answer Lu-er's question. She stared at Chu Changge for a long mont before saying, "No. His heart has been invaded by a demon."
"How, how could that be......" Lu-er's voice grew smaller over ti as her tiny body began to tremble.
Murong Yunshu didn't know why this was happening either. So, for now, she could only respond to the changes and wait for Chu Changge to speak first. South, East, North and West were also at a loss as to what to do. This change in Chu Changge was utterly out of their expectation.
"Murong Yunshu stays behind, the rest of you" Chu Changge's eyes sank as he spat out one word coldly, "Scram!"
East, South, North, and West were so frightened by this word 'scram' that their bodies trembled, their limbs went weak, and their scalps numb. Lu-er even fell straight to the ground. Only Murong Yunshu remained calm and collected. Her clear eyes looked at Chu Changge lightly. "I'll hand Lu-er over to you guys." Murong Yunshu said to the South, East, North and West.
"The four of us together may not be a match for him." East Guardian said.
At that, Murong Yunshu raised her dark eyebrows slightly and asked, "And then do what?"
"And then we'll escape."
"He didn't force you to stay, so why bother."
East Guardian was stunned and was busy explaining, "I ant to take you with to escape."
"Why should I escape?"
East Guardian: "Leader's mind is currently clouded. In case he hurts you, it would be troubleso."
"My purpose in setting foot in the jianghu was to find him. Now that he is right in front of , why should I run away?"
"This......"
"If I go with him, it will save the effort of searching for him."
"Be that as it may, the current situation has changed, and the Leader now......does not recognise you." East Guardian continued to persuade Murong Yunshu to flee.
"That is a valid point." Murong Yunshu nodded as if she had so understanding. Suddenly, as if she thought of sothing, she jumped off the carriage and slowly walked up to Chu Changge, and then made a move that shocked everyoneshe gave Chu Changge a slap to his face. Gasps could be heard on the scene.
East, South, North and West were dumbfounded. Has, has Madam beco silly because of her anger?
Lu-er was so frightened by Murong Yunshu's bold move that six of her seven souls scattered, leaving one soul floating in the air, threatening to fly away at any mont.
In contrast, Murong Yunshu was much calr. The gloom she felt before was swept away, and she was incomparably cheerful. Although she didn't like being beaten up, she had to say that beating soone else up was an enjoyable thing to do, especially after being made dizzy by soone's changing personality. She felt much better after giving him a slap on his face. "You jianghu people always talk about if you guys don't fight, you won't beco friends. Now, we can be regarded as knowing each other." She said airily.
North, South, East and West felt a flock of crows flying over their heads. That was not the way to interpret 'don't fight, won't make friends'.
Chu Changge was dumbfounded by the slap and stared at Murong Yunshu incredulously. Murong Yunshu also did not shy away from him, as her eyebrows arched, and she tilted her head to smile at him. Her smile was like a ray of bright sunlight, which shone straight into the darkest corner of Chu Changge's heart, making him forget the pain on his face.
After a brief mont of dismay, Chu Changge regained his wits, and in the next second, he strangled Murong Yunshu's neck. His face was expressionless.
"Madam!" East, South, North and West cried out in shock, wanting to offer a hand to save her, but they were blocked by a killing glance from Chu Changge, making them not daring to make any more rash moves.
"Do you know that what you just did has given a reason to kill you a thousand tis?" Chu Changge said word by word.
Murong Yunshu's face was so pale from his choking, but she did not panic and said the sa word for word, "I know."
Chu Changge: "If you know, why do you still do it?"
"If you have the reason to kill a thousand tis, why haven't you done it yet?" Murong Yunshu asked instead of answering, staring straight into his eyes and questioning him with a calm face.
Chu Changge flinched slightly at her words. His hand trembled and started to loosen a few points.
"If you don't really want to kill , then please let go." Murong Yunshu said again.
Chu Changge's sword brows knitted slightly. What was she relying on that she dared to be so reckless?
Murong Yunshu ignored his probing eyes and continued to add calmly, "n and won should not touch hands when they give or receive things."
This one sentence almost killed South, East, North and West. What kind of logic is that when your life is on the line?
Chu Changge was also deeply affected. Why didn't she mind that when she slapped him? The corners of his mouth twitched a few tis, and Chu Changge let go of his hand.
At the sa ti, South, East, North and West also breathed a sigh of relief. The Leader's feelings for his wife could not be erased by a split personality or mory loss. They should have known that the Leader would never hurt Madam in any way.
Murong Yunshu said as she straightened her collar, "It seems like you are looking for . So, what can I do for you?"
Three black lines appeared on North, South, East and West's forehead. Madam, could you please be more serious once in a while?
The corner of Chu Changge's forehead also jumped a few tis, and he was about to answer when he heard her say, "Or did you co to this place on account of its reputation?"
The North, South, East and West looked at the sky speechlessly. How confident you are, Madam! If he had co to this place on account of its reputation, he wouldn't have strangled you just now.
Chu Changge's sword brows were furrowed in confusion as he looked at Murong Yunshu, seemingly thinking about sothing, before saying after a long ti of silence, "You're overthinking it."
She was obviously overthinking! But is there a need for you to think about it for so long in a solemn manner? Looking at Chu Changge's frowning, serious expression, the South, East, North and West suddenly had a nagging feeling that their disordered internal organs had been entangled that it hurt inside.
Murong Yunshu said, "If you don't have any important business and you're not here on account of its reputation, then why are you looking for ?"
When asked by Murong Yunshu, Chu Changge rembered his trip's purpose. "To snatch you away." He said.
Murong Yunshu raised her eyebrows at his words and turned towards the carriage, asking as she walked, "Do you mind taking the carriage with you?"
Taking the carriage with him? aning that he should be her coachman? Chu Changge's brow furrowed even tighter as he said, "I mind."
At that mont, Murong Yunshu had already stepped onto the carriage and lifted the curtain, intending to enter. Hearing Chu Changge's reply, she turned back and gave him a faint smile, saying, "Then you'd better convince yourself not to mind as soon as possible."
"......" As it turned out, he could not hold any opposing opinion? The corners of Chu Changge's mouth twitched slightly as he leapt onto the carriage, pulling the reins with a low roar of 'drive', and drove it away in the dust.
Did he leave just like that? South, East and West looked at the carriage with a dumbfounded expression as it moved further away. Suddenly, North Guardian waved and shouted, "At least give us a ride!"
"......"
"......"
"......"
What a great mindset.
"You guys, could this be a play put on by the Leader and Madam to throw us off?" North Guardian asked thoughtfully as he looked ahead.
"......"
"......"
"......"
What an imagination. East, South and West beca speechless when they suddenly noticed Lu-er walk to the side of the road and sit down on the ground, with her hands on her cheeks with a calm expression on her face. Thus, they followed along by walking over and sitting next to her. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, North Guardian also ran over and sat down. "Miss Lu-er, aren't you worried about your Miss' safety?" East Guardian asked in confusion.
Lu-er said, "The sick one isn't my Miss, so why should I worry?"
"Our Leader is not sick either." East Guardian said.
"Being brainless is also a disease. You guys said that." Lu-er curled her lips in contempt while giving a sidelong glance at him.
"......" East Guardian was tempted to say that this ti the Leader was not being brainless but had just split into his third personality. However, on second thought, a character split out from a brainless person was still considered a brainless person, wasn't it? It was just that, how could a man not lose his brain in front of a woman he loved? It was just like how the ground was on fire after being struck by lightning; the Leader was struck for a lifeti.
"How long do you plan to sit here?" South Guardian asked Lu-er.
"Until the Great Master appears."
The five of them sat on the ground in single file for about half an hour when Li Wunai finally showed up. "Where are Murong Yunshu and Chu Changge? And what are you guys doing sitting by the roadside?"
Lu-er answered, "My Miss has been snatched away by Guye."
Li Wunai: "Murong Yunshu was snatched by Chu Changge? What is this all about?"
Lu-er told the story of how Chu Changge had taken Murong Yunshu in great detail. After listening to Lu-er's account, Li Wunai groaned as he held his forehead and then yelled frantically, "How many personalities does your Leader have? Does he have too much ti on his hands to play gas with himself because the country is prosperous and the people live in peace with the gentle breeze and tily rain?"
"Uh." North, South, East and Northwest were stumped by Li Wunai's question. It should just be because he has too much ti on his hands that he lost his head, and it has nothing to do with the country being prosperous and the people living in peace with the gentle breeze and tily rain. They thought so in their minds.
Lu-er: "Great Master, calm down. You're a monk now."
"I have returned to my old life." Li Wunai said with a dark face.
Lu-er: "But you're still bald, and you're still a monk in the eyes of others. You are tarnishing the image of Shaolin Temple by flying into a rage at every turn like this."
"......" Li Wunai looked at the sky and made sure to get a hat to wear tomorrow.
Lu-er: "Miss asked you to find out the news. Did you find anything?"
Finally, it was ti to focus on the main point. Li Wunai replied, "I've found out about sothing. Those jianghu people have no intention of following us, but their destination happens to be the sa as ours."
Lu-er: "The sa destination? Are they going to the silver warehouse too?"
"Not bad." Li Wunai said, "They all received notable personage invitations, and the posting stated that a martial arts conference would be held in Shang Yang on the 15th of the eighth lunar month to elect a new Great Leader of Martial Arts. And the exact address is precisely where the silver warehouse is located."
The crowd was shocked at these words. "How co we haven't heard of such an important event as the Martial Arts Assembly?" East Guardian asked.
"I haven't heard about it either." Li Wunai said. "I think soone must have done it deliberately to confuse us with what we see and hear."
"It must be that big bad man, Hua Tiansheng!" Lu-er said with righteous indignation. "Miss was kind enough to spare his life at first, but he is now returning her kindness with revenge. It's really abominable!"
Li Wunai: "Don't rush to scold people first. Maybe it's not him."
South, East, North and West nodded silently. Although all the clues pointed to Hua Tiansheng, outward appearances often confused people the most.
Lu-er bristled, "So what do we do now?"
Li Wunai: "Go to the silver warehouse. Wait for Murong Yunshu and Chu Changge to co and et us."
"How do you know that the Leader will definitely take Madam to the silver warehouse?" East Guardian questioned.
"Have you ever seen Murong Yunshu try to do sothing but fail to do it?" Li Wunai asked instead of answering.
"No."
"So she will definitely take Chu Changge to the silver warehouse."
Just as Li Wunai had said, Murong Yunshu was doing her best to trick Chu Changge into going to the silver warehouse, but Chu Changge seed determined to oppose her. When she said sothing seriously, he listened to it as ironic remarks, and when she honestly said sothing ironic, he still listened to them as ironic remarks; in short, it just didn't go the way she wanted. This made Murong Yunshu frustrated. This guy had a split personality. How could he still guess her thoughts like a human's spirit? Fate sotis was genuinely hateful.
The carriage stopped in front of an inn by the official road at sunset. Without waiting for Murong Yunshu to get off the carriage, she heard the innkeeper's attentive voice greeting his custors from outside the carriage. "Hey. Dear patron, are you staying at the inn or just stopping by?"
"Staying." Chu Changge said.
What a cold voice. The innkeeper shivered and squeezed out a fake smile on his face, and said, "Please co inside, dear patron."
Chu Changge stood by the carriage without moving. The smile on the innkeeper's face stiffened, and he was surprised to see a plain-clothed woman coming out of the carriage. She had delicate features and a magnificent manner. Her slight smile was like a warm breeze blowing, making people feel comfortable when looking at her. The innkeeper suddenly realised that no wonder the man did not go in. There was soone else in the carriage.
Little did the innkeeper know that Chu Changge did not go in first because he was afraid that Murong Yunshu would use it to pick a fight with him. Yes, that's right, picking a fight with him. He had seen her cursing skills on this journey. There had never been and never would be another person like her, whose cursing skill was extrely unprecedented and never to be duplicated. Even when he was rushing the horses by whipping them hard, she could be heard mysteriously saying, 'we both grew up from the self-sa root, why are you so anxious to roast us'. If he hadn't been the one being scolded, he would have clapped his hands and shouted in amazent.
The two people walked into the inn one after the other. "Boss, I need a room." Murong Yunshu said to the innkeeper.
"Okay." The innkeeper called out while registering, "Xiao Er, take the guest to the Top No. 1 Room."
Shop assistant: "Dear patron, please follow upstairs."
Murong Yunshu nodded slightly and was about to follow the shop assistant upstairs when she heard Chu Changge say behind her, "I don't have any money on ." Murong Yunshu turned around at his words and asked curiously, "What are you doing snatching away without having any money on yourself?"
"......" Is there any internal connection between having no money and snatching you?
"I don't have any money either." Murong Yunshu said with a helpless face.
Chu Changge wrinkled his brows. "I heard that you are wealthy."
"That's why I don't have any money on . Rich people never take money with them when they go out." Murong Yunshu said as a matter of course.
"Then don't stay at the hotel, and let's just continue on our way." Chu Changge turned around and was about to leave, but she heard Murong Yunshu say to the innkeeper, "Can I use soone to pay for it?" Chu Changge turned back. What did she want to do again?
"How will you offset it?" The innkeeper asked while feeling puzzled.
Murong Yunshu gave Chu Changge a sidelong glance and said, "You can sell him or give him away, up to you."
In an instant, one could see Chu Changge's wickedly handso face trembled fiercely, and his black eyes imdiately emitted a murderous ten thousand rays of light, glaring viciously at Murong Yunshu. Murong Yunshu turned a blind eye to his evil looks and looked at the innkeeper with a smile on her face. She was obviously asking, what do you think of this deal?
Without thinking, the innkeeper answered, "This place only accepts cash."
When she was refused, Murong Yunshu did not feel discouraged at all but was in a good mood and said with a smile, "If that's the case, then I won't force you." After saying that, she slowly walked to the empty seat in the lobby and sat down, tilted her head and said to Chu Changge, "You jianghu people love to rob the rich to help the poor, so you should go rob so silver to help who requires cash."
"......" Was she bossing him around? Chu Changge frowned. Although he also intended to rob the rich to help the poor, his original plan was to wait until after dark to act. He was asked to steal in broad daylight in full view of everyone. He didn't know if she had no common sense or if she just considered everyone else beneath her! "There is no village ahead and no inn behind us, so there is no one for to rob." Chu Changge said.
Murong Yunshu: "Isn't there an inn just right here?"
"......" It seems that she genuinely considers everyone else beneath her.
The innkeeper was also thunderstruck by Murong Yunshu's remark. She was joking, right? She must be joking. Otherwise, how could she make such a heavy matter as robbery sound so breezy?
At this mont, a male voice suddenly ca from the doorway, "I'll pay for her room."
Murong Yunshu didn't need to turn around to know who the visitor was because this person was simply too active lately, popping up in front of her twice every three days. It was hard not to rember him. "Weren't your belongings robbed by robbers?" Murong Yunshu asked with a smile.
