Chapter 277 Eavesdropping
Ye Wumian was discussing the subsequent movements of the demon clan with Jiang Xia. Sitting across from Nan Xiao, he caught a glimpse of their eye contact and couldn't help but feel curious: "Junior brother, did you make Junior Sister angry again?"
They both said in unison:
"yes."
"no."
The two people's different answers make people more curious.
Su Xun and Jiang Xia also looked over. Nan Xiao calmly pinched Lu Huai and warned him not to talk nonsense.
Lu Huai's lips curled slightly, and a low chuckle escaped from his throat, with a bit of indulgence and doting: "Well, it's my fault. I made Senior Sister angry."
He leaned forward and said flatteringly, "Senior Sister, I know I was wrong. Please be magnanimous and forgive me this time."
Nan Xiao: “…”
Shameless! Why didn't I realize he was so shameless before?
This tone doesn't sound like an attitude of admitting a mistake. It feels like she is being unreasonable.
I was a little angry and twisted it again.
Lu Huai's expression remained unchanged as he held her disruptive hand tightly.
Su Xun narrowed his beautiful phoenix eyes and looked at him appraisingly.
Something is wrong. Something is very wrong.
The little junior brother's eyebrows raised slightly, and he couldn't hide his joy. Last night, the little junior brother angrily dragged the little junior sister away, but today he was so happy, something must have happened.
Just as he was about to ask, a young disciple walked in quickly.
"Big Brother, Young Master Wen sent someone to deliver the spirit stones."
Jiang Xia: "Give it to Junior Brother."
The young disciple handed the storage ring containing the spirit stones to Lu Huai.
Lu Huai took a quick look and saw that the amount was no less than what he had said yesterday. He placed the storage ring in Nan Xiao's hand, his eyes curved, "Apologize to Senior Sister."
Nan Xiao never gets polite with them, so she just takes it.
Mentioning Wen Anche, Ye Wumian recalled what had happened before and murmured, "It's strange, after several battles with the demons, they don't seem to want to get entangled with us. Instead, they prefer to chase after Young Master Wen and the others?"
After saying that, he turned to look at Jiang Xia beside him. He was not as observant as his senior brother and junior brothers, but any problems he could notice, his senior brother and brothers would definitely know as well.
Su Xun's attention was also diverted: "Third Brother, you just realized it?"
Ye Wumian knocked him on the head: "You have no respect for your elders."
Nan Xiao was not at the scene, so he is not clear about the situation and will not comment.
Lu Huai explained to her concisely, "Although we happened to rescue them, we originally planned to send them back to the city first, but they refused and kept following us. The demons we encountered later all acted with purpose, and most of them were targeting them."
Nan Xiao nodded. This made sense. Why did the eldest brother ignore that young master Wen last night? It was obvious that he wanted to use the eldest brother and the others as a tool, and he didn't tell the truth.
She asked, "Did Senior Brother discover anything?"
Jiang Xia said calmly, "The demons' attitude is wrong."
Ye Wumian asked: "Big Brother, what do you mean by this?"
Jiang Xia: "The demons have been stationed at the border for many years. If they just wanted to invade Anyang City, they would have countless opportunities and wouldn't have to wait so long."
In addition, the demons who sneaked into Anyang City were finally exposed and captured near the City Lord's Mansion, which makes people think more.
Su Xun frowned. "Big Brother, are you saying that their target isn't Anyang City, but the Wen brothers and sisters? Or that the Wen brothers and sisters have something the demons need?"
Jiang Xia took a sip of tea: "It's just a guess."
Nan Xiao: "Should we tell the elders about this?"
"Of course."
Jiang Xia warned, "The demons didn't succeed this time, but they will definitely come back. Before we understand their purpose, don't let your guard down. Third Junior Brother, Fourth Junior Brother, and Little Junior Brother, you guys should take turns patrolling with the other Junior Brothers during this time to prevent any accidents."
"Junior Sister, the alchemy room is not far from here, and it's also close to the City Lord's Mansion. I'll leave this area to you."
"yes."
Jiang Xia went to talk to Elder Li.
Nan Xiao started running towards Jian Mo again.
Lu Huai wanted to join in, so he let Su Xun grab him.
"Fourth Brother, what are you doing?"
Su Xun reached out and placed his hand lightly on Lu Huai's shoulder. With a probing look in his eyes, he said seriously, "Tell me the truth, what happened last night?"
When Lu Huai heard this, a hint of red flashed at the tip of his ear, like a small flame being ignited. However, Su Xun was so focused on questioning that he didn't notice this detail. He turned his head away and said vaguely, "Fourth Brother, you will know it when it's your turn. The time has not come yet."
Su Xun: “…………”
This made him even more curious.
"Fourth Brother, I'm leaving first."
Lu Huai slipped away so quickly that by the time Su Xun reacted, there was no trace of him.
…
Nan Xiao arrived at the alchemy room and found that only Zhang Shuyi was there.
He said, "Senior Sister Jian and Senior Brother Zhuo went out early this morning. I heard they went to the nearby forest to look for a spiritual plant. They might not be back until the evening."
"good."
After refining the spiritual plants on the table and checking on the injured, Nan Xiao decided to walk around and get a feel for the terrain. She had been too busy before and hadn't really explored the area.
Before he took a step, he saw the Wen brothers and sisters coming to the door. Third Senior Brother and Lu Huai received them. I don’t know what they said, but they all had smiles on their faces.
Nan Xiao was about to move forward when he glanced over and saw the four of them split up into pairs. On one side of the Third Senior Brother, Wen Anche walked alongside him. The two of them entered the courtyard and slowly disappeared behind the door. On the other side, Lu Huai, looking calm, followed Wen Anruo. The two of them found a quiet corner and started talking in low voices.
Nan Xiao hadn't wanted to eavesdrop on the villain's business, but then she thought, wasn't she a villain? She had always had a clear understanding of herself, so she immediately hid her figure and followed.
Lu Huai's expression was cold, his posture was upright, and he exuded a dignified and aloof temperament. He slightly turned sideways, looked at Wen Anruo calmly, and said in a calm tone: "Miss Wen, I wonder if there is anything you need to talk to me alone?"
Wen Anruo took a deep breath. Although she looked nervous, her eyes were firm. She looked at Lu Huai with a blush on her cheeks and said, "Brother Lu, Anruo was not thoughtful enough about what happened before. I hope you won't be angry."
"An Ruo fell in love with Senior Brother Lu at first sight. It's true that she likes Senior Brother Lu, and it's also true that she wants to repay Senior Brother Lu for saving her life. Speaking frankly today, I wonder if Senior Brother Lu has any feelings for An Ruo?"
Sometimes love lasts a lifetime at first sight, it’s so sudden and unexpected.
She was the eldest daughter of Anyang City, possessing both spiritual aptitude and good looks. Before meeting Nan Xiao, Wen Anruo had a certain confidence, believing she had plenty of time to spend with Senior Brother Lu and gradually grow fond of him.
However, when Nan Xiao appeared, Senior Brother Lu's eyes were fixed on her, and he could no longer see anyone else.
When Wen Anruo saw this scene, he felt a pang of bitterness and unwillingness in his heart, and his original confidence disappeared without a trace.
She didn't want to leave herself with any regrets, so she chose to be brave.
Lu Huai's eyes were frank and decisive: "Sorry, I have someone I like."
"Is it Miss Nan?"
"Yes." Lu Huai planned to leave
"But I see that Miss Nan has no interest in Senior Brother Lu." Wen Anruo raised the corner of his mouth: "Senior Brother Lu, do you want to know what Miss Nan feels about you? I can help you."
Lu Huai paused, and Wen Anruo seized the opportunity to continue, "You and I can pretend to be intimate in front of Miss Nan. If Miss Nan cares about you, she will definitely be angry and jealous, and vice versa. Brother Lu, don't you want to give it a try?"
Lu Huai said coldly, "There's no need for this between her and me. If she doesn't like me, then I'm not good enough. I will work hard to become excellent and win her favor. If she likes me, then I'm lucky. I would never use such a dirty method to test her or hurt her."
"Miss Wen, goodbye."
