Lu Chen's heart was far from calm, a tempestuous sea churning within him, restless beyond measure.
When the heart was unsettled, someone had to die!
Only killing could clear his thoughts.
The letter had been written by Su Yingxue.
Back in Boulderstone City, she had been the first senior sister he acknowledged!
She was the one who had taught him the Azure Wave Art and the Layered Wave Saber Technique.
But something had happened to Su Yingxue?
In an instant, countless possibilities flashed through Lu Chen's mind. He had nearly concluded that this was a conspiracy.
Could someone be deliberately targeting him?
Had they abducted Su Yingxue to force him into showing himself?
He made his decision at once, swiftly left the building, and soon found Cui Hu.
Cui Hu had just collected his gambling winnings—banknotes worth tens of thousands of taels. His face was wreathed in smiles, his mouth practically split from grinning.
"Senior, I need to go out for a while."
Lu Chen found Cui Hu and stated his purpose directly.
"You're going to Boulderstone City?"
Cui Hu was startled.
"Yes. I ask that you accompany me."
Lu Chen said.
"When?"
"Now!"
Lu Chen nodded.
"Fine, I'll go buy horses right away!"
Cui Hu replied.
"Too slow. We'll use qinggong!"
"Qinggong? That works too!"
Cui Hu nodded immediately.
The two moved with incredible speed. Without even stopping to bid Han Wu-bing and Shangguan Xue'er farewell, they rushed madly toward the city gates at their fastest pace.
Traveling from Qingyuan City to Boulderstone City by horse alone would take at least three days.
Yet with Lu Chen and Cui Hu's qinggong, they could reach their destination in less than a day.
At sunset.
Within Boulderstone City.
The local branch of the Wind Listening Pavilion.
