"Who sent them?" He asked with a smile, but his eyes were icy cold.
The man in black closed his eyes, pretending not to hear.
Picking up a knife from the ground, Lu Huai raised an eyebrow: "Not going to talk?"
The man in black did not react.
"Very good." He swung his knife, and a red mark appeared on the man's neck. Bright red blood flowed down, staining the ground where he stood.
Smiling, Lu Huai wiped the blood that had accidentally stained his face, his eyes turning bloodthirsty. He raised his knife and looked at another man in black: "Who sent you?"
After a two-second pause, he raised his hand again, blood splattering five steps away, but the steel knife in his hand gleamed even brighter.
Ayu looked on with some concern, but said nothing.
Having tasted blood with his broadsword, Lu Huai asked no more questions and killed several people in succession, a hint of excitement creeping into his eyes.
Seeing that only three people remained, and having not obtained even the slightest information, Su Ying's brow twitched. She exchanged a glance with Su Yi, and then suddenly disappeared.
Lu Huai licked his lips and raised the blade above his head again, but before he could bring it down, he was stopped by someone calling out to him.
"It absolutely cannot be allowed to continue—!"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Lu Huai paused, looking up at the newcomer with some confusion.
But then Lu Chuan strode over and took the broadsword from his hand: "Chang Jue, calm down."
Lu Huai let him take the broadsword from his hand, his eyes gradually regaining their clarity, his expression somewhat confused: "Big brother?"
Seeing that his strange appearance had subsided, Lu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "I knew you had ambitions in your heart. How could a son of the Lu family be content with mediocrity?"
Letting out a sigh of relief, Lu Chuan said heartily, "I'll leave these men to A-Yu. It's been a long time since we brothers have drunk together, and I'm often away in the army, so I haven't been able to enjoy it much. Come on, let's have some fun tonight!"
As he spoke, he gave Ayu a wink, and the latter understood and clasped his hands in greeting.
Lu Chuan nodded in satisfaction and took his still somewhat confused younger brother away.
Su Ying and Su Yi reappeared and quickly cleaned up the scene with A Yu.
...
At the window, someone covered their mouth, watching all of this in shock.
Qin Xi stared in disbelief, her mouth slightly agape, her mind blank. She had never seen such a terrifying scene, nor had she ever seen Lu Huai so terrifying.
Is that ruthless killer really Lu Huai?
She shook her head in disbelief. Impossible, fake, it must be fake. She tried to reassure herself, but the scene from earlier kept replaying in her mind.
That was what she witnessed with her own eyes, and what she didn't want to believe.
The纨绔公子 (spoiled young master) whom everyone in the capital scorned suddenly revealed his true nature before her eyes, transforming into a ruthless devil. Everything happened so suddenly that she was somewhat dazed.
She was a light sleeper and would be woken up by the slightest noise. Besides, no matter how careful she was, she couldn't hide the chilling atmosphere of impending battle.
To her surprise, she saw such a scene after simply poking a hole in the window. Shocked, she instinctively covered her mouth, barely daring to breathe.
The incense burning inside wasn't the strong, calming kind, yet there was still no smell of blood from outside. Sensing this unusual aroma, Qin Qi's expression was somewhat puzzled.
Lying back down on the bed, Qin Xi closed her eyes again.
...
The next morning.
Qin Xi felt someone watching her even before she opened her eyes, and her eyelashes fluttered.
Before my eyes was Lu Huaizhi's handsome face, still dressed in white, seemingly unchanged.
Seeing that she was awake, Lu Huai excitedly grasped her hand, as if he had been sitting beside her waiting for a long time.
Qin Xi didn't miss the fleeting panic in his eyes. Her gaze flickered, and she smiled at him:
