Lu Qi's face darkened, and he sneered, "You're just showing off your eloquence, Xie Chuncan. That's all you have."
Luo Jiujiang took a look at Lu Qi. The young man was of medium height, with a pale face and a gloomy look in his eyes. At first glance, he reminded people of the damp mushrooms in the corner of the house after the rain.
"Lu Qi." Luo Jiujiang repeated the name, confirming that he had never heard of or seen this person before. "Did you send people to hunt me down earlier?"
"You don't know your place, so you deserve to die," Lu Qi said calmly. He seemed to look down on Luo Jiujiang, who was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and his eyes were fixed on Xie Chuncan from beginning to end. "I told you before, you will bring about your own destruction one day."
"It seems he's not too keen on talking to me." Luo Jiujiang sighed softly. "Could you please introduce him, Brother Xie? I wonder where this 'Lord Lu Qi' comes from?"
"Just a despicable villain," Xie Chuncan said disdainfully, not even trying to avoid him. "Your sister Xue had poor eyesight back then. She thought that just because she picked up a little kid, all the kids in the world would be little kids. She took him home and raised him as a little brother, but he didn't want to be a human anymore. He just wanted to wag his tail like a dog, and he was a vicious dog who resented his owner's poverty."
"Later, he severely wounded Feng Ren with a single blow of his sword, trapped Feng Xue, and then evaded my pursuit—I think that's when he met Hua Biliu. It wasn't until Feng Xue and I finally realized that this guy had even faked his age. A seventeen-year-old boy, relying on his small stature, had the nerve to call fourteen-year-old Feng Xue 'sister.' Even though I've been in the Death Zone for a long time, I've never seen someone as shameless as him."
When Lu Qi heard his past being told in public, he simply raised his eyelids and said shamelessly, "Given the eldest lady's background, I'm really marrying up to her even if I can call her 'sister'. If she were smarter and more sensible, I'd be happy to call her 'Grandma' even if I kowtowed to her and called her 'Grandma'."
This guy's shamelessness is truly at its peak. He can speak such servile words as if they are justified and natural.
Xie Chuncan was almost pissed off by him and laughed out loud: "That arrow missed and failed to pierce your heart. It was truly the most regrettable slip of the hand that I, Xie, have ever made in my life."
Lu Qi's eyes were filled with gloom, and his right hand unconsciously covered his left chest near his heart, as if he was remembering the heart-wrenching pain he had felt at that time. "Regret it? I'll send you to hell and you'll regret it for the rest of your life!"
"It's too early to worry about this." Xie Chuncan also responded with a sneer, "A despicable villain like you can rest assured. If you were alive earlier, Xie Chuncan would not have died alone."
Luo Jiujiang: “…”
He sighed feebly, "Alright, I already know you two are close friends, so there's really no need to be so affectionate and oblivious to others. I'll just ask one last question on behalf of myself back then: Are you going to kill me because I went to see Sister Xue?"
Lu Qi snorted, as if even allocating a syllable to Luo Jiujiang was a condescension. Although he spoke, his words were clearly pointed: "One wrong move, and the whole game is lost. Since the eldest young lady was originally plotted by the eldest young master to be sent to the lower world, living in seclusion is the best outcome for her. I have not sent anyone to disturb her peace for many years, which is already enough for her. But once the chess piece on the table gives up this last chance to turn from evil to good, it deserves to die without a burial place."
As he said this, his eyes were fixed on Xie Chuncan, as if he was afraid that he didn't know who he was talking to. After hearing this description that was both confusing and distorted, Xie Chuncan didn't even bother to open his mouth, and just gave Lu Qi a dismissive gesture.
The atmosphere is tense and ready to explode.
Luo Jiujiang sighed secretly in his heart - no matter how serious the matter between him and Xie Chuncan was, they would not chat and laugh and talk about past stories in such an occasion. They had just deliberately delayed time to see if Feng Xue could realize that something was wrong and come out to save the situation. However, it now seems that their expectations were too high.
It turns out that you still have to save yourself.
Luo Jiujiang held the hilt of the knife with his right hand, but his left arm bent back under the cover of his body, and grasped Xie Chuncan's arm through his clothes, groping to find the position that was most convenient for him to exert force.
Xie Chuncan was slightly startled, but his expression remained calm. He only struggled slightly. The next moment, he felt Luo Jiujiang hastily and sloppily write a character on his arm, repeating it three times until he could clearly distinguish the strokes.
It's a tree.
Xie Chuncan suddenly understood.
He had survived countless battles, and his combat experience in various situations surpassed even that of many chief disciples of other sects. Luo Jiujiang's simple reminder was enough for him to understand what he meant.
At this time, the two sides were in a stalemate before fighting. Everyone was concentrating and was even alert to whether the other party was about to blink. The sound of the wind was particularly clear at this time. When a snowflake silently passed through Luo Jiujiang's eyelashes, he suddenly thought of Han Qianling.
His fingers tightened around Xie Chuncan, waiting for the split second of action. The situation was extremely critical, with Luo Jiujiang's life hanging in the balance. Yet, even so, he couldn't help but think that if Qianling were here, their backs pressed against each other, he wouldn't have to write the word "tree" three times.
As long as he squeezed Qianling's hand or touched her heel with his heel, Qianling would immediately understand what he meant, and vice versa.
Qianling...
On the vast snowy plain, surrounded by darkness, Luo Jiujiang's expression softened for no reason.
