Chapter 15: Chapter 15 Xu Yueru is also anxious!
After pondering for a mont, Lu Chen ca to accept the fact.
Given what he knew about Lu Changkong, anyone would find it hard to accept if they witnessed the killing of Lu Zhan before their eyes, let alone the even more narrow-minded Lu Chang himself.
Though Yu Pavilion was located in the heart of Yuzhou City and the Lu Family dared not make a fuss there, they would definitely send people to look for his whereabouts.
Nevertheless, he remained vigilant.
"Guards at the Bone Refinent Realm are equal to
in strength, but they have hidden weapons or lethal devices on them that I do not know about!"
Lu Chen thought deeply and knew that their intentions might be more complex than just shadowing him.
"Since they’ve sent Martial Artists at the Bone Refinent Realm, it suggests that they think my abilities only reach that level... It seems that to leave the city safely, I indeed need to cultivate to the Marrow Refinent Realm!"
Lu Chen did not close the window; he pretended to watch for a long ti and saw that these people did not enter the inn, which put his mind slightly at ease. He then turned to look at his fire poker.
"With a daughter’s worth of wealth, I have enough to buy an appropriate spear, but the problem is, I also need to treat Qin Yaotiao’s facial injuries, and I have no idea how much that will cost. Moreover, carrying a spear on my back would be too conspicuous and draw their wariness... Old friend, it seems you’ll have to accompany
a while longer!"
Lu Chen gently caressed the fire poker, feeling the cool touch from it.
This fire poker had already helped him kill two people and had been very handy to use.
After a while, he heard snoring coming from Qin Yaotiao and then he got up to begin practicing his spear techniques.
An eighteen-movent spear technique, but he had only practiced five, leaving thirteen more to learn!
Three days went by, and Lu Chen did not leave the best room in the inn.
During the day, he practiced spear techniques; at night, he cultivated the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual thod, and at dawn, he would adjust to seeing with just his pupils by removing the eye patch.
He also discovered sothing extrely astonishing.
He almost never felt tired!
Lu Chen had no ti to investigate why, but this allowed him to focus more on cultivation.
He was not in a hurry, but Xu Yueru was.
"Lu Chen, have you made up your mind yet?"
Xu Yueru rushed over in a fluster, but upon seeing Lu Chen, she leaned lazily against the door fra, revealing her curvaceous figure unabashedly.
"What, you can’t wait after only three days?"
People tend to make mistakes in a rush, and Lu Chen was actually more anxious than she was, but he knew haste wouldn’t help.
Xu Yueru knew this too, so her current attitude was entirely an act.
"Actually, I’m not in a rush, but there’s a saying that a single day apart feels like three autumns. I, for one, feel as if I’ve been through nine autumns!"
Xu Yueru said with a laugh, and her chest shook intentionally or not, catching Lu Chen’s eye.
Fortunately, Lu Chen was steadfast in his mind, and he felt an indescribable aversion towards Xu Yueru, although the two were currently in cooperation, so naturally he couldn’t show any sign of this.
He casually turned away and leaned against the window sill.
They were still the sa Martial Artists at the Bone Refinent Realm. Lu Chen checked on them daily.
There were ten in total.
"Since you’re not in a hurry, why don’t you wait a bit longer? Yaotiao has been frightened; I need her to stabilize her emotions first. Look at her, she can’t sleep every night, only dozing off due to exhaustion when dawn breaks."
Xu Yueru laughed even more jovially, "Lu Chen, if she can’t sleep night after night, could it be because you’re tornting her? Qin Yaotiao does have a nice figure, and I’m sure any man would want to be entwined with her! But, well... she doesn’t understand n, why don’t you co find ? Anywhere is fine with ..."
Lu Chen scoffed and promptly issued a dismissal, "Xu Yueru, if you ca just to say this, then you may as well leave."
Seeing this, Xu Yueru also dropped her facade, turning serious, "Currently, there are ten Lu Family Martial Artists, all at the Bone Refinent Realm. Moreover, the elders of the Lu Family can hardly wait for Lu Changkong to take action. So, it’s highly possible that these Martial Artists will receive orders to storm Yu Pavilion and make a move against you! I want the jade pendant, and you want to stay alive. That’s why I ca to find you!"
Hearing this news, Lu Chen was imdiately alard!
He wasn’t in a rush to leave, yet through the reactions of these Martial Artists, he inferred that Lu Changkong had many concerns and would not act, which also allowed him to enhance his own strength and look for an opportunity to leave!
But if Lu Changkong lost his reason...
Upon this thought, he imdiately turned around and said in a deep voice, "Do you know when Lu Changkong might act?"
"He wouldn’t dare during broad daylight, so it’s very likely to be tonight! Lu Chen, there’s not much ti..."
Xu Yueru narrowed her eyes, no longer flirtatious, but instead full of grave seriousness.
After a long consideration, Lu Chen said, "Then at sunset, we will leave the city!"
"Agreed," Xu Yueru stood up straight, "I hope you rember your words. Otherwise, even if you manage to escape the pursuit of these ten Martial Artists at the Bone Refinent Realm, you won’t escape the clutches of the Marrow Refinent Realm powerhouse backing !"
Her footsteps rapidly retreated, while Lu Chen stood quietly in place.
But suddenly, there was a rustling sound from behind, and Lu Chen knew that Qin Yaotiao was awake.
Or perhaps, she had never slept at all.
A pair of lotus arms tightly wrapped around Lu Chen’s waist, followed by a voice tinged with sobs.
"Young Master, are we leaving tonight?"
"Yes," Lu Chen gently patted her hand and said, "Don’t be afraid, with the Young Master here, everything will be fine."
"I know," Qin Yaotiao lowered her head, silent for a long ti, then suddenly said, "Young Master, take Yaotiao... Yaotiao is still afraid!"
Lu Chen stiffened all over; he knew Qin Yaotiao was concerned they might not make it through this ordeal.
But before he could speak words to comfort her, he heard the sound of clothes being untied!
