Chapter 376 - 376 Joining Forces to Catch Psychopaths
376 Joining Forces to Catch Psychopaths
Xu Qing was still silent. She wondered if Qiao Yanhui also knew Zhuo Wuyou’s true motive for starting the war.
Seeing that Xu Qing was in a daze, Bai Ling continued to teach Bai Xian a lesson. She grabbed Bai Xian’s ear and spun around again, causing Bai Xian to cry out in pain.
“You’ve gotten too big for your britches. You don’t even introduce me now. Why? Am I that shameful? It’s been more than twenty years, but you haven’t introduced me even once?” Bai Ling glared at Bai Xian fiercely.
“I haven’t had the chance to say it yet.” Bai Xian wanted to cry. The two of them had an ambiguous relationship. Back then, the person Bai Ling liked was Bai Mu, but because of their mentor’s orders, she married him. Later on, after Bai Mu was chased out of the sect by their mentor, Bai Ling was sad about it for a long time. After their mentor passed away, Bai Ling told him not to tell anyone that she was his wife. She also said that in the future, if he practiced medicine to save people, she would poison people. Then, she left him.
Bai Xian thought that Bai Ling had gone to look for Bai Mu and was sad about it for a period of time. Later on, he left the place where he had lived since he was young. In the past twenty years, he had only seen Bai Ling a few times. The only few times he had seen her was because of Qiao Yanhui’s poison. Bai Xian thought that since she hated him, he would stay away from her. He naturally didn’t dare to take the initiative to look for her. As long as Bai Ling was there, he would turn around and leave.
In fact, Bai Ling had indeed married Bai Xian because she couldn’t disobey her mentor’s orders. Although she had fallen in love with Bai Xian later on, she had always been suppressing her anger and wanted to vent it. In her opinion, those harsh words were just something she blurted out in a moment of anger, but she didn’t expect Bai Xian to take those harsh words seriously and never look for her again! She had no choice but to look for Bai Xian personally. As for why she didn’t come previously, it was entirely because she couldn’t find Bai Xian, who had always been elusive. She didn’t know that Bai Xian had been avoiding her. Although Bai Ling didn’t explain what had happened back then to Bai Xian, there was no need to explain anymore. She wouldn’t let him disappear again.
As Xu Qing watched the two old people who were fooling around like children, she smiled helplessly. Sometimes, when two people were in love, they didn’t need too many explanations.
However, Xu Qing was still more or less worried about Qiao Yanhui.
At the battlefield between the Ancient Nation and the Nujiang Kingdom.
Zhuo Wuyou sat alone on an empty grass patch. After lay down, he gazed at the starry sky as he said, “She probably hates me now.” Zhuo Wuyou seemed to be muttering to himself, but also seemed to be asking Lu Yao.
Lu Yao lowered her eyes to hide the emotions that she shouldn’t show. Then, she walked to Zhuo Wuyou’s side and sat down.
“That won’t happen. You’re doing so because you love her.” Lu Yao sounded a little bitter. She wished that she was the one being treated like this by him.
Zhuo Wuyou pursed his lips. Actually, he knew that Xu Qing would definitely resent him for this. After all, the person Xu Qing loved wasn’t him, and Qiao Yanhui had no choice but to leave Xu Qing because of him. However, he couldn’t give up. Because of his childhood experience, he understood that if he wanted something, he had to fight for it himself. There was no free meal in this world. But now, he didn’t even have a chance to compete fairly, so how could he be satisfied?!
“Tell me, am I wrong?” Zhuo Wuyou suddenly looked into Lu Yao’s eyes helplessly.
“You’re… not wrong.” If Zhuo Wuyou was wrong, then she was also wrong. She refused to give up too and followed Zhuo Wuyou around shamelessly while hiding her love for him.
Zhuo Wuyou seemed to be attracted by Lu Yao’s cute eyes as he stared straight at Lu Yao. Her expression was a little familiar. It had once appeared on Xu Qing’s face before. He suddenly kept approaching Lu Yao. As she watched that handsome face approach, Lu Yao’s breathing became more and more rapid until she could even hear her own breathing.
However, just as Zhuo Wuyou’s lips were about to touch hers, Lu Yao’s heart was suddenly crushed.
“Little Qing…” Hearing this, Lu Yao pushed Zhuo Wuyou away and fled under Zhuo Wuyou’s mixed gaze. Why couldn’t she learn her lesson? It was impossible for him to have her in his heart. What was she hoping for?
Zhuo Wuyou lowered his head in frustration. Just now, he was saying how much he loved Xu Qing, but in the next second, what was he doing?
Xu Qing, who was thousands of kilometers away, was busy coming up with ways to catch Bai Mu with Ao Jie. Bai Xian and Bai Ling also expressed their willingness to cooperate.
In the end, Bai Ling decided to personally lure Bai Mu out. However, Bai Ling wasn’t confident. No matter how much Bai Mu liked her in the past, they were already so old that some of their heart-fluttering feelings had long been forgotten.
Of course, Bai Xian also objected to this idea. After all, Bai Ling was his wife. Unfortunately, Bai Xian’s objection was futile.
