"Lu Chen, you..."
Xu Qianqian’s face was full of disbelief. Just a mont ago they were conversing and laughing, and the next, Lu Chen was pulling out his gun to confront her!
She prided herself on her ability to read people, and from every little detail, Lu Chen didn’t seem like soone who would kill her at this ti!
Not to ntion letting bygones be bygones with a smile.
At the very least, one would think he’d make a move after seeing Qin Yaotiao, right?
She had no idea what went wrong, only that she was now facing away from Lu Chen, her hands desperately grasping the spearhead that had pierced through her ribs.
"You could never have dread," Lu Chen’s cold voice ca from behind her, "that Qin Yaotiao is my dao companion!"
With these words, Xu Qianqian felt as if struck by lightning!
If that’s the case...
Then it makes sense!
From the beginning, Lu Chen was just putting on an act for !
How infuriating...
How could Lu Chen possibly be a man lusting for beauty?
When we first t, he seed to barely give a serious look and even stood up for Yu Qingqing, who was sowhat less attractive!
Xu Qianqian’s complexion turned ashen.
Partly due to the massive blood loss from her wound.
And partly because she realized her own miscalculation, that she was monts away from death!
Her hands fell limply, but with the last of her strength, she asked, "That martial artist in the Visceral Refinent Realm... was he arranged by you too?"
Lu Chen knew she was talking about Mo Buwen. As he withdrew his long spear, he said, "Correct."
Xu Qianqian’s body lost its support and collapsed to the ground, but a smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.
"I slapped him. He shouldn’t survive it."
Even in death, she took comfort in knowing she had brought soone down with her. It wasn’t a loss.
Xu Qianqian consoled herself with this thought.
Lu Chen was willing to beco enemies with Chen Gaoshang to save Qin Zhantian, a martial artist in the Bone Refinent Realm.
Presumably, a martial artist in the Visceral Refinent Realm would be even more precious to him, right?
"Not going to make it, huh?"
How could Lu Chen not understand her thinking, he simply said indifferently, "That saves the trouble then. I had said I would help him join the Heavenly Pill Pavilion!"
Xu Qianqian’s breath hitched, unable to catch her breath, she passed away on the spot, her head lolled to one side, devoid of life!
There was not a hint of pity in Lu Chen’s eyes. For a venomous woman like Xu Qianqian, he had no sympathy whatsoever.
True, Mo Buwen was used by him.
But Lu Chen also hoped that Mo Buwen could survive.
He wasn’t a kind-hearted person, but having promised Mo Buwen, he naturally didn’t want to break his word.
Lu Chen raised his hand and summoned the Spiritual Fire, "Burn her."
Xu Qianqian’s identity was sensitive, her body had to be destroyed to leave no trace!
Monts later, Xu Qianqian was reduced to a blackened char, Lu Chen retracted the Spiritual Fire, and then casually swept his spear through.
The long spear stirred up a gust of wind, and the ashes scattered with the wind, dust to dust, earth to earth.
No one knew that a woman like Xu Qianqian had died here...
An hour later, Lu Chen appeared within the imperial city.
The city was bustling with noise, as everyone crowded towards the palace grounds in the center.
They followed one after another, jostling in a throng.
Lu Chen skirted around the crowd and hurried toward the palace.
Ti was short, he needed to find Wen Buhui as quickly as possible, lest he be left with lingering doubts, which could affect his cultivation.
Of course, if he couldn’t find him at all.
He would find a way to break into the palace when the Heavenly Pill Pavilion began recruiting disciples.
He already had Qin Yaotiao’s exact location, he must see Qin Yaotiao and think of a solution!
He had also prepared for the worst.
If possible...
He would use the Heavenly Pill Pavilion to temporarily contend against the four at the Core Formation Stage, using their own strength against them, before escaping into the Heavens’ Chasm!
But as he drew nearer to the palace, when he could vaguely see the palace gates in the distance, a familiar and graceful voice reached his ears!
"Brother Lu, Brother Lu!"
Lu Chen was startled and frowned, "Qing Qing, why haven’t you left, and instead stayed in the imperial city for what?"
As soon as he spoke, Lu Chen realized, perhaps Yu Qingqing had heard the news about the Heavenly Pill Pavilion recruiting disciples?
Since they t again and such an opportunity arose, if Qing Qing wished to start as a nial worker, he could teach her sothing to repay their acquaintance and help her on her path of cultivation.
Lu Chen walked briskly forward, only to find Mo Buwen lying unconscious at the street corner where Yu Qingqing was standing!
"Qing Qing, what happened here?"
Lu Chen was imdiately taken aback.
Yu Qingqing promptly explained, "Brother Lu, don’t misunderstand, I was just coming ho to fetch so things, and I happened to co upon this senior talking to Xu Qianqian about you! Afterward, I don’t know what Xu Qianqian said to him, she injured him, and thinking he was your friend, I quickly dragged him here and gave him so dicine to help."
Lu Chen sighed internally, how could Qing Qing forget anything? Clearly, she was worried about him getting into trouble!
He knelt down, placed his hand on Mo Buwen’s wrist, and a surge of Spiritual Power flowed into it, instantly dissipating the remaining Spiritual Power from Xu Qianqian.
A mont later, Mo Buwen coughed twice and suddenly ca around!
