Chapter 246 Luo'er and Prince Su, are they born with incompatible personalities?

Faced with Li Qingluo's question, the man blinked twice.

He coughed softly twice before replying, "My name is not important. You've already guessed that I have a connection with the Third Young Master Pei, haven't you?"

“I saved you only because I didn’t want him to make more and more mistakes. I had no other intentions. You don’t need to think too much about it, young lady.”

"As for the Pei family dungeon, I know about this place not because I am a member of the Pei family, but because it is not difficult to find it if one pays attention."

“Let’s go. Pei Sanlang didn’t chase after us. He’s giving us time to escape. If we dawdle any longer, we’ll miss our chance if he changes his mind.”

After saying that, the man leaned against the wall and straightened up, then continued walking forward.

Li Qingluo looked at Pan Li, who gritted her teeth and stood up: "I'm much better, let's go."

However, the further they went, the narrower the tunnel became.

After walking for less than fifteen minutes, a dense sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind.

Pan Li exclaimed in alarm: "Someone's chasing us!"

Li Qingluo grabbed Pan Li tightly: "Let's go!"

But the man walking in front suddenly became too weak and could no longer walk, even while leaning against the wall.

“You…” Li Qingluo looked at the man with a anxious expression.

The man shook his head: "You all go quickly, don't worry about me. He won't do anything to me."

Pan Li shook her head: "No! I also thought that my brother wouldn't do anything to me, but the truth is that when it comes to his real interests, no matter who you are, if you stand in his way, you will only face death."

"Young master, you saved us, we won't abandon you!"

The man looked puzzled when he heard her say that.

Li Qingluo: "Yes, she's right. We won't abandon you. Young master, hang in there, we'll get out together!"

Li Qingluo and Pan Li each took one side of the man and quickly walked forward.

The man was just too tall.

Li Qingluo's height is alright; she reaches about a man's shoulder.

But Pan Li was shorter, and when she hid under the man's armpit, she looked exactly like a cane.

Moreover, the man was dressed in such thick clothes that it was quite inconvenient for the two women to support him.

"They're ahead—chase them!!"

The people chasing after them were holding torches. Li Qingluo glanced back and saw that there were at least a dozen people in the crowd.

It seems that Pei Sanlang has no intention of letting them go today.

"Walk!"

The three quickened their pace.

However, when the three of them could no longer walk side by side, Pan Li went to the back, while Li Qingluo helped the man move quickly by herself.

However, the further she walked, the more difficult it became for her.

Because the man's strength seemed to be waning, most of his body weight was now on his back.

Just when Li Qingluo was about to give up completely, she suddenly heard the sound of flowing water ahead.

The three went outside and found it was an underground river.

Li Qinglu smiled and said, "Great! Can you swim?"

However, the truth is that neither Pan Li nor this man knew how to do it, except for Li Qingluo.

Moreover, Li Qingluo didn't see that when the man saw the water, a deep fear flashed across his eyes.

Li Qingluo couldn't abandon them and flee alone.

So, gritting his teeth, he had no choice but to say, "Quickly, Pan Li, you and I each take off one shoe and put it on the shore."

Although Pan Li didn't understand, she still did as instructed.

After carelessly discarding her shoes, Li Qingluo looked around again, then laboriously pushed a huge rock into the river.

With a loud thud, Li Qingluo and the other two quickly passed through a stone screen on the narrower, slippery path.

Just then, the people behind them caught up.

"They jumped into the river!?"

"There was a sound and shoes just now, it was them!"

"Two bitches, trying to escape? Chase them!"

Several more loud 'plop' sounds followed as the group jumped into the underground river.

However, these people were also cautious and left a few to continue searching on the shore. They soon discovered the figures of Li Qingluo and his two companions.

"They're here! They're here—"

"stop!"

These people moved quickly, and it only took them a moment to catch up with Li Qingluo and her group, who were accompanied by a sickly man.

Li Qinglu gave Pan Li a push: "Quick, help this young master and get out of here!"

Pan Li's face was full of anxiety: "But you..."

Li Qingluo: "I am my grandmother Pei Xiuzhen's granddaughter. I can handle things. You should leave quickly and not drag me down!"

Li Qingluo roared, and Pan Li bit her lip, helped the man up, and continued running forward.

The man kept turning back to look at himself, clutching his chest with worry in his eyes.

Li Qingluo saw the first thug rushing towards her and immediately shot out a hidden arrow from her sleeve.

The thug was suddenly struck by an arrow, and his body swayed as he slid down into the underground river.

Li Qingluo still had an arrow in her hand, which she had already taken out as a weapon. When the people behind her rushed up again, cursing and swearing, she turned around and leaned against the wall, her face showing a look of fear, helplessness, and fragility.

"You damned woman, how dare you plot against us—"

The thug, brandishing a knife, approached. Seeing Li Qingluo's surrendering posture, and remembering his master's instructions to capture her alive, he could only suppress his anger and reach out to grab her again.

However, this was the moment Li Qingluo had been waiting for. As soon as the man lunged close, she raised her hand and stabbed fiercely at his neck—

She practiced her swift, ruthless, and precise killing methods at home every day without fail.

Finally, she is now quite satisfied with her speed.

The man clutched his neck, his eyes wide with disbelief, but the gushing blood from his neck still caused him to fall rapidly into the dark river.

The people behind her dared not underestimate Li Qingluo, who had already picked up the knife from the ground.

Because the stone path was narrow, she looked at the thugs who could only line up and carefully walk towards her, and sneered: "Did he send you lackeys here to let me practice my skills?"

"Stubborn bitch, if you don't surrender soon, I'll kill them!"

A low shout came from behind, and it turned out that the group that had jumped into the river earlier had swum to the front, then went ashore and grabbed Pan Li and the man.

Pan Li looked utterly defeated: "I'm sorry, Luo'er, I've ultimately become a burden and a drag on you..."

The man looked apologetic: "Don't be afraid, someone will come to rescue us soon."

His words had barely left his mouth when he was met with a chorus of laughter from the Pei family's thugs.

"Hahaha... Once you've been to our Pei family dungeon, there's not a single person in this world who has ever walked out alive. Still dreaming someone will come to rescue you? Hahaha, hahaha..."

"You will all line up immediately, one by one, to die—"

call out--

The sound of a cold arrow piercing the dark sky rang out, and the arrow directly sealed the thug's throat.

Li Qingluo turned around to look for the person who fired the arrow, and saw a tall figure standing on the stone steps, holding a longbow, striding towards them.

Immediately afterwards, a group of men in black appeared behind him, each with a sword or knife drawn, glaring menacingly at him.

"Who goes there?! How dare you trespass into the Pei family's secret dungeon? Do you want to die?"

Despite the fact that these Pei family thugs were already feeling the urge to retreat and were afraid upon seeing such a display, they had no choice but to continue putting on a show of intimidation.

"Who are you? We are officials from the Dali Temple. Today, we will expose all the shady dealings and conspiracies of your Pei family!"

"Those who surrender may have a chance to live."

"Anyone who dares to resist to the death will be killed without exception today—"

Li Qingluo instantly recognized the voice as Zhui Yu's!

Her face instantly lit up with ecstasy.

Upon hearing the name of the Dali Temple, the Pei family's thugs were instantly terrified.

But where can we just surrender?

Everyone knows the methods and reputation of the Dali Temple. If this falls into their hands, it will probably end up worse than death.

"Brothers, we're all going to die anyway, let's fight!"

After saying that, the thugs charged forward, brandishing their knives.

Upon seeing this, the officials from the Dali Temple immediately rushed over and killed any of the Pei family's thugs they encountered. Ultimately, the Su Prince's usual training and the large number of his men made them ruthless and merciless, each strike swiftly and fatally severing the throat.

One after another, lives were lost in the dark river.

Li Qingluo was caught in the middle, and could only raise her hand to stab the Pei family thugs who rushed forward, and then kick one of them into the dark river.

After killing one, Li Qingluo quickly turned around and found Pan Li and the sickly man.

Fortunately, the passageway behind it wasn't so narrow.

The three of them stood close together, and if any thugs dared to pounce on them, she would draw her knife and kill them.

After the Dali Temple officials quickly dealt with the Pei family's thugs, Li Qingluo didn't even have time to breathe a sigh of relief before she noticed that the Dali Temple officials were all keeping an eye on the three of them.

Suddenly, a deathly silence fell...

Three people were relentlessly pursued in the tunnel leading to the Pei family's residence; anyone could tell something was amiss.

Fearing a misunderstanding, Li Qingluo immediately removed her veil: "It is me, the Chasing Rain Gentleman and the Killing Thunder Gentleman!"

Before Zhui Yu, who was at the front, could even be shocked by her face, the tall figure at the back pushed through the crowd and came out first.

"Li Qingluo! What are you doing here!?"

You could tell there was a hint of gritted teeth in that voice.

Li Qingluo smiled and said, "Your Highness, you were almost late. This is a long story..."

As Li Qingluo stared intently at Duan Rong in front of her, she thought to herself: Why do they always seem to run into each other in these situations? Could it be that their personalities are naturally incompatible?

Meeting her smiling face, Prince Su glared at her fiercely: "Then get to the point! Come here to me!"

Pan Li's gaze darted back and forth between the two.

The sickly man was also staring at Prince Su.

Duan Rongshi turned his head and glanced at the two of them. Pan Li quickly lowered her head, while the sickly man stared straight into Prince Su's eyes.

Prince Su stared at the man, his unfriendly gaze lingering on him for a moment before he turned and walked away.

Li Qingluo had no choice but to bite the bullet and leave with Prince Su.

The people from the Dali Temple all consciously gave way and dared not look at Li Qingluo even once.

Only Zhuiyu's gaze still involuntarily followed the two, until they disappeared from sight after reaching a boulder.

Just as Zhuiyu was about to lean back and look again, Prince Su shouted, "Get out of the way, all of you!"

It was clear that the master was not in a good mood at the moment.

Sha Lei gave Zhui Yu a shove, and Zhui Yu quickly led everyone forward, saying, "Your Highness, we'll wait for you up ahead!"

"Quickly, let's continue searching. Today we must uncover all the secrets of the Pei family!"
