Raising the Banner of the Greenwood, Unable to Share the Same Road

"Has your brain been fried?" Chu Danqing demanded.

This was practically letting one's worldview follow one's facial features. No wonder she had looked so strange just now.

Could she have taken a fancy to that scholar?

The moment Chu Danqing thought of this, he felt that Zhong Lei might ruin things.

"I-I merely thought..." Zhong Lei stammered, trying to explain.

But before she could explain, Guo Ming spoke first. "Brother Chu, someone's coming. It should be those two bandits from earlier bringing people back to reclaim their face."

"They should be coming for us," Chu Danqing said.

First, Zhong Lei had stopped them before, so that counted as making enemies.

Second, they could be considered fat sheep. After all, the table of food Da Bao had eaten was worth no small sum.

They had not targeted them before because they naturally looked difficult to provoke.

Especially Da Bao's burly build. There had only been two bandit scouts—how could they possibly afford to provoke him?

But things were different now. The other side had brought a large force.

"Kill them while we're at it. Consider it eliminating harm for the people." Chu Danqing could not even be bothered to deal with them properly.

Upon hearing that, an unconcealable trace of worry surfaced on Zhong Lei's face.

Chu Danqing noticed it, but ignored it.

There was no need to think about it. She was definitely worried about that scholar.

He simply could not understand it. They had only met once—how had she become so taken by his looks?

Love at first sight? If the other man had been fat and ugly, Chu Danqing might have believed it was love at first sight.

But that scholar was handsome and dashing. Chu Danqing did not believe this was love at first sight.
