"What the hell? What does he mean?"
Chu Lu pondered repeatedly in his heart: "Does he know about the chat group? Does he know I possessed Luo Qingdie? Does he know this is a female-oriented world? Does he know I'm on a mission? Is that why he's so fearless? But how does he know? Does he also have a chat group? Is he a transmigrator too?"
The more Chu Lu thought, the more uneasy he became, but he didn't let anxiety cloud his judgment.
After all, the other party's words were vague, and it could still be a misunderstanding. He needed to inquire further.
Therefore, Chu Lu asked with a serious expression, "Then tell me, what am I after?"
A trace of disgust and helplessness flickered across Xiao Yichen's cold face as he said, "Of course, it's me."
"Huh?"
"I know you've secretly admired me for a long time and have always wanted to become my Dao companion," Xiao Yichen said, shaking his head. "The reason you resent Liu Yan'er so much is simply because I've taken good care of her. Your massacre today is just because you see no hope of becoming my Dao companion, leading to hatred born of love. You wanted to take Liu Yan'er's life to force me to comply."
"So, enough! Stop slaughtering innocent people." Xiao Yichen's cold face was filled with the nobility of self-sacrifice. "As long as you spare Liu Yan'er, stop killing indiscriminately, and honestly accept your punishment, I will swear to become your Dao companion afterward, and you will be the only one for me in this life and the next."
Chu Lu was dumbfounded.
At the same time, Liu Yan'er, hiding behind Xiao Yichen, observed Chu Lu's shocked expression and secretly thought, So the rumors that the sect leader has long admired Xiao Yichen are true. Look how happy she is.
The rumor had been circulating for a long time. Liu Yan'er had heard it from her senior brothers and sisters as soon as she joined the sect.
It was said that when Luo Qingdie first joined the sect, she was mentored by Xiao Yichen, which led to her falling for him at first sight and becoming extremely dependent on him. Later, her diligent cultivation was all for the sake of earning Xiao Yichen's praise and affection.
But unfortunately, Xiao Yichen preferred petite and cute types, while Luo Qingdie grew more and more handsome. Luo Qingdie later painstakingly studied spells and changed her appearance just to please Xiao Yichen.
However, it never worked, but Luo Qingdie refused to give up, which was why she still didn't have a Dao companion.
Liu Yan'er breathed a slight sigh of relief, thinking that she had finally survived this ordeal.
As for her painstakingly pursued Xiao Yichen being snatched away, she didn't feel much.
After all, the Inquiry Sword Sect was vast, and there were more than just Xiao Yichen who were handsome and had high cultivation.
She could just find another one.
Besides, it wasn't like it was completely hopeless if they became Dao companions. Couldn't she still poach him?
With Luo Qingdie's foolishness, did she even know what charm was? She could snatch Xiao Yichen away in minutes, and maybe even trick him into poisoning Luo Qingdie. In the end, she would be the one to win...
Bang.
Just as Liu Yan'er was getting more pleased with herself, a dull thud suddenly sounded in front of her, and a drop of viscous liquid fell onto her face.
She froze and looked up.
She saw Xiao Yichen's head fly off, his face still wearing an expression of unbelievable shock.
Blood gushed from the severed neck.
Through the gaps in the blood, Liu Yan'er saw Chu Lu in front of her, looking disgusted.
"You're crazy," Chu Lu said. "You think every woman likes you just because you're a woman?"
"Huh?" Liu Yan'er.
Xiao Yichen was killed? Killed by Luo Qingdie!?
"Eeeh! Eeeh! Eeeh!" Liu Yan'er couldn't help but shriek.
Her cry immediately caught Chu Lu's attention.
"Oh, right, there's you too. I almost forgot about you. You're the source of all this, the mastermind, the puppet master." Chu Lu flicked his sword and walked towards Liu Yan'er. "I can let anyone go, but I can't let you go."
Thump. Liu Yan'er immediately sank to her knees.
She was so terrified that her soul had nearly left her body.
A montage of her life flashed before her eyes, from her joining the sect to the present.
She didn't understand, she didn't understand!
How did things suddenly escalate to this point?
Everything had been going so smoothly before.
Initially, she was rejected by Luo Qingdie due to her insufficient talent. So, she secretly spread rumors that Luo Qingdie was jealous of her beauty and didn't want her to join, gaining the sympathy of many disciples.
After successfully joining the sect, she realized that if she wanted to achieve anything in her cultivation, leeching off Luo Qingdie was the best option. So, she frantically worked on those around Luo Qingdie.
She got close to Luo Qingdie's disciples, making Fan Bailu willingly offer elixirs and help her beat up her own master.
She got close to Luo Qingdie's senior brother and successfully became Xiao Yichen's disciple, making him seek Luo Qingdie's help for her.
She got close to Luo Qingdie's master, making him dote on her like a granddaughter and frequently ask Luo Qingdie to help her.
She even got close to the Enforcement Elder, the Supreme Elder, and other powerful figures in the sect.
Meanwhile, she also tested Luo Qingdie from time to time, giving her dirty looks every few days. Luo Qingdie had never dared to retaliate.
She was already planning to frame Luo Qingdie for stealing her family's heirloom jade pendant in a couple of days and assess the situation. If successful, she could then boldly move to plunge Luo Qingdie into an abyss of eternal damnation.
But suddenly, everything changed.
The weak and easily bullied Luo Qingdie suddenly became ruthless and bloodthirsty, killing without mercy, even killing the admired Xiao Yichen without hesitation.
What happened to her? Why did she suddenly become so terrifying? If I had known she had this kind of personality, I would never have dared to provoke her.
Liu Yan'er shivered, looking at Chu Lu who was getting closer, and was about to kowtow and beg for mercy.
Just then, an old and angry voice rang out.
"Rebellious disciple, stop at once!"
A figure rushed over.
Chu Lu immediately stopped. He didn't really care about being interrupted again and again.
After all, he had set up this whole situation precisely to draw out everyone who deserved to die.
Being interrupted constantly only proved that his plan was working effectively.
However...
Chu Lu looked at the white-haired old man and asked in his mind, "Luo Qingdie, who is this person?"
Luo Qingdie looked at the man with a complex expression and said, "He is my master, Ji Xiangshan."
The other disciples also recognized the old man's identity and cheered in unison.
"It's the former sect leader!"
"The former sect leader is here!"
"The former sect leader is here, we have a chance to live!"
"Hahaha! Luo Qingdie, your master is here! Do you still dare to be arrogant? Do you still dare to make a move?"
They cheered again, as if they had already won.
Ji Xiangshan looked at the corpses strewn across the Hall of Hair Regulation, his beard and hair bristling with anger. Seeing Liu Yan'er sitting on the ground, her face full of fear, he became even more furious.
"Luo Qingdie! Did you do all this?" Ji Xiangshan asked, glaring coldly at Chu Lu.
Chu Lu looked at him, his mindset unchanged by the fact that he was the former sect leader or Luo Qingdie's master.
In his eyes, this person was no different from the elder of the Enforcement Hall, the Supreme Elder, or Xiao Yichen.
Therefore, he said indifferently, "That's right, so what do you want to do?"
