Chapter 294 Is he his half-brother? Abandon him or save him?

Li Jingchuan looked at her half-sister in front of her and smiled slowly.

"I'm just an insignificant sickly man. Miss Li, you don't need to worry about my identity."

"As for how I know you, well, I don't know if you'll believe me... it's because I've been locked up in Jingyun Manor for quite some time now."

"Perhaps I have more freedom of movement than Miss Li, which is why I know that Miss Li is also being held captive in that manor."

"I only managed to escape from Jingyun Manor yesterday. Seeing Miss Li now makes me wonder if she also escaped."

Did he escape yesterday?

Did it take you a whole day to get to this area?

Seeing that he was indeed extremely weak, Li Qingluo couldn't help but click her tongue.

Perhaps he hid in some bushes all night?

After another ten miles, the horse suddenly neighed and reared up.

Li Qingluo and the other three were jostled around and rolled around in a heap.

Young Master Jingchuan's face instantly turned completely pale; clearly, such a jolt was extremely difficult for him to endure.

A dark shadow swooped down from the surrounding woods and landed.

A moment later, thirty or forty figures darted over.

"Miss Li, please come with us."

Li Qingluo flung open the car door, feigning panic: "And who are you? I am a young lady from General Xiuli's mansion. You'd better think twice before you provoke me!"

The men in black burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"Miss Li, you don't actually think our sect leader will let you leave, do you?"

"It was just a little play I put on to tease you, did you really take it seriously?"

Li Qinglu looked utterly shocked: "What? It's your Lotus Sect again!"

"What exactly is Zheng Lingzhou trying to do by playing me like this?"

Li Qingluo did not notice that the sickly young master in the carriage slowly lowered his head after hearing these words.

Granny Deng thought he was feeling unwell and looked at him with concern, only to see endless melancholy and bitterness in his eyes.

this……

"Stop talking nonsense! Let's go."

These people naturally felt that sending so many people to arrest a young girl was making a mountain out of a molehill.

Why not just have the coachman drive the carriage back?

Do we really need so many people and such a big fuss to invite them?

The incense master is overestimating this woman. So what if she is the granddaughter of a general?

Could it be that she can dominate everyone and defeat that old stableman?

However, Li Qingluo suddenly looked up and smiled slowly at them: "If you want to take me back, then let's see what you can do."

As soon as she finished speaking, she pinched her fingers together and whistled loudly into the air. Instantly, a hurricane swept through the forest, and leaves danced in the air with a rustling sound.

The Lotus followers all looked up and around, completely unaware that the driver of the carriage had also raised his head; it was no longer the old coachman.

A thick, overwhelming killing intent silently swept towards them...

Zheng Lingzhou waited and waited, but no one returned until dark.

He finally realized something was wrong. When he personally led his men to a place twenty miles away, he found that the ground was littered with corpses, and all the people lying on the ground were his Lotus Sect members!

Zheng Lingzhou's face turned pale. He searched through everyone, but there was no trace of Li Qingluo and her two servants.

"Who did this?!"

"Who—!"

However, before his anger had completely subsided, another subordinate rushed in to report: "Master Zheng! Something terrible has happened! You had barely left when someone launched an attack on our Jingyun Manor from within—Please, Master Zheng, return immediately to provide support!"

What a coincidence?

He had barely left when someone attacked the manor!

Zheng Lingzhou suddenly realized something, and his face filled with disbelief: "Could it be that Li Qingluo planned this? But how is that possible? How could a young woman who just came back from the mountains do all this?"

But he had no time to think any further. He mounted his horse and cracked the whip: "Everyone, return to Jingyun Manor immediately, giddy up—"

Li Qingluo had actually already turned back and arrived at another mountain peak very close to Jingyun Manor.

Hearing the faint sounds of fighting and the flickering torchlight emanating from Jingyun Manor, she hummed softly.

Now that Li Qingluo has been reborn, she will never be easily bullied again!

Therefore, although she was unexpectedly kicked out before she could figure out Zheng Lingzhou's true intentions during her days of hiding, she would not hesitate to give Jingyun Manor a counterattack.

"Cough, cough..."

Hearing a cough behind him, Li Qingluo turned around and walked back.

"Young Master Jingchuan, are you alright?"

Jingchuan leaned against a rock and weakly shook his head: "No. My medicine, apart from the one my attendant always carries with him, was all lost at Jingyun Manor."

Li Qingluo: "Then how can I contact your attendants?"

Jingchuan looked up at her: "They are still at Jingyun Manor."

He left alone.

He really wanted to just die out there so that he wouldn't harm her.

Unexpectedly, this trip led to a chance encounter with her again.

However, after experiencing these two encounters, and even witnessing firsthand how her people easily wiped out the Lotus Sect members, Li Jingchuan understood.

His younger sister is truly remarkable.

Although she is just a small grass growing in the mountains, her tenacious and indomitable nature has allowed her to get to where she is today on her own, and she must have endured countless hardships.

However, knowing that she wouldn't be easily bullied, Li Jingchuan was completely relieved.

That's for the best. Only by being strong and able to outwit others can one truly survive in this already difficult world.

"Cough, cough... Miss Li, you don't need to worry about me."

"I plan to go back to the mountain villa again."

"You can leave now..."

Li Qingluo: "Are you crazy? Jingyun Manor is currently in chaos and bloodshed. If you go back in this condition, wouldn't you be courting death?"

Li Jingchuan gave a helpless smile: "But if I just wait here, won't I just be waiting to die?"

"Although it wouldn't be a pity if my worthless life died, I still have family... My life and death are not choices I can make at will."

"Let's go, cough, cough cough..."

Li Qinglu hesitated.

She really should leave.

There's nothing more to see in this commotion at Jingyun Manor.

Even if Zheng Lingzhou doesn't kill him tonight, destroying his Jingyun Manor will at least be a significant blow to his reputation.

Li Qingluo was indeed very pleased.

Granny Deng called to her, "Miss, a signal has come from down the mountain; we should leave now."

Butterfly, looking aggrieved, was being led by Granny Deng and was still howling at Li Jingchuan.

Li Qingluo resolutely turned around, and the three of them, along with Granny Deng, quickly disappeared into the darkness.

She knew that this person's identity and background were unknown, and it would be best for her to cut ties with him and forget about him altogether.

Moreover, his name is Jingchuan... Jingchuan...

But he never revealed what his surname was.

Li Kechuan.

Li Jingchuan?

Li Qingluo looked at the dappled shadows in the woods, with the wind whistling overhead.

Young Master Jingchuan is afraid of the cold.

Was it because he fell into an icy lake as a child that he developed this condition?

Young Master Jingchuan is physically weak and often ill.

Was he nearly killed at birth, but was saved in a moment of crisis, and has been weak and sickly ever since?

Is this young master Jingchuan really someone who escaped from Jingyun Manor?

"Granny, what do you think of this young master Jingchuan?"

Li Qingluo asked Deng Mama, who was standing to the side, her eyes filled with confusion.

Granny Deng asked in bewilderment, "Miss, what's wrong? You rarely hesitate about anything."

Li Qingluo: "It's nothing. If I hadn't helped him, he probably wouldn't have been able to leave this mountain tonight, let alone go back to find medicine."

After that battle, it was Po Feng who brought them here.

It's true that going up the mountain is easy, but coming down is hard. Li Qingluo is physically strong, which is fine, but Young Master Jingchuan simply can't withstand any more hardship.

Li Qingluo knew that leaving him here would be tantamount to letting him wait to die.

He couldn't possibly get down the mountain on his own.

She just wasn't sure if he was the person she suspected...

But in this world, what are the coincidences?

Moreover, if he really is him, wouldn't it be exactly what I want for him to die here tonight?

In this way, neither he nor his grandmother would be implicated in the future, and they could completely separate themselves from the entire Lotus Sect.

Granny Deng: "Miss, we've only known each other for a short time, so this old servant can't yet discern what kind of person this young master truly is."

"I just felt that he seemed to have something on his mind..."

"However, this old servant can sense that he has no ill intentions towards you."

Li Jingchuan struggled several times but failed to stand up, and then coughed violently again while clutching his chest.

Blood even trickled from the corner of his mouth.

He stared blankly at the smear of red that had been wiped away from his fingertips, then looked up at the pale moonlight and chuckled softly.

"That's fine then..."

He suffered from heart and lung damage since childhood, and it was a miracle that he survived in that icy lake during the cold winter.

Even if I suffer from a chronic illness in this life, I am not disabled. I can live for another twenty years to see the world and spend several years with my mother and uncle. I have no regrets.

It's just... a pity that I can't recognize Luo'er.

"Mother, Uncle... Xiao Chuan has let you down..."

Li Jingchuan slowly closed his eyes, but suddenly a dark shadow loomed over them.

"Come on, I'll take you back to find the medicine!"

After Li Qinglu finished speaking, she bent down and helped the tall and strong Li Jingchuan up, pressing half of his body against her.

Li Jingchuan was naturally extremely surprised.

"You...you left, didn't you? Miss Li, you don't need to worry about me..."

Li Qingluo: "Stop talking nonsense! I was able to go back and save you in the Pei family dungeon last time, and I won't leave you to die this time either."

"Walk!"
