Chapter 15: Chapter 15 Xu Yueru is also anxious!

After pondering for a moment, Lu Chen came to accept the fact.

Given what he knew about Lu Changkong, anyone would find it hard to accept if they witnessed the killing of Lu Zhan before their eyes, let alone the even more narrow-minded Lu Chang himself.

Though Yu Pavilion was located in the heart of Yuzhou City and the Lu Family dared not make a fuss there, they would definitely send people to look for his whereabouts.

Nevertheless, he remained vigilant.

"Guards at the Bone Refinement Realm are equal to me in strength, but they have hidden weapons or lethal devices on them that I do not know about!"

Lu Chen thought deeply and knew that their intentions might be more complex than just shadowing him.

"Since they’ve sent Martial Artists at the Bone Refinement Realm, it suggests that they think my abilities only reach that level... It seems that to leave the city safely, I indeed need to cultivate to the Marrow Refinement Realm!"

Lu Chen did not close the window; he pretended to watch for a long time and saw that these people did not enter the inn, which put his mind slightly at ease. He then turned to look at his fire poker.

"With a daughter’s worth of wealth, I have enough to buy an appropriate spear, but the problem is, I also need to treat Qin Yaotiao’s facial injuries, and I have no idea how much that will cost. Moreover, carrying a spear on my back would be too conspicuous and draw their wariness... Old friend, it seems you’ll have to accompany me a while longer!"

Lu Chen gently caressed the fire poker, feeling the cool touch from it.

This fire poker had already helped him kill two people and had been very handy to use.

After a while, he heard snoring coming from Qin Yaotiao and then he got up to begin practicing his spear techniques.

An eighteen-movement spear technique, but he had only practiced five, leaving thirteen more to learn!

Three days went by, and Lu Chen did not leave the best room in the inn.

During the day, he practiced spear techniques; at night, he cultivated the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method, and at dawn, he would adjust to seeing with just his pupils by removing the eye patch.

He also discovered something extremely astonishing.

He almost never felt tired!

Lu Chen had no time to investigate why, but this allowed him to focus more on cultivation.

He was not in a hurry, but Xu Yueru was.

"Lu Chen, have you made up your mind yet?"

Xu Yueru rushed over in a fluster, but upon seeing Lu Chen, she leaned lazily against the door frame, revealing her curvaceous figure unabashedly.

"What, you can’t wait after only three days?"

People tend to make mistakes in a rush, and Lu Chen was actually more anxious than she was, but he knew haste wouldn’t help.

Xu Yueru knew this too, so her current attitude was entirely an act.

"Actually, I’m not in a rush, but there’s a saying that a single day apart feels like three autumns. I, for one, feel as if I’ve been through nine autumns!"

Xu Yueru said with a laugh, and her chest shook intentionally or not, catching Lu Chen’s eye.

Fortunately, Lu Chen was steadfast in his mind, and he felt an indescribable aversion towards Xu Yueru, although the two were currently in cooperation, so naturally he couldn’t show any sign of this.

He casually turned away and leaned against the window sill.

They were still the same Martial Artists at the Bone Refinement Realm. Lu Chen checked on them daily.

There were ten in total.

"Since you’re not in a hurry, why don’t you wait a bit longer? Yaotiao has been frightened; I need her to stabilize her emotions first. Look at her, she can’t sleep every night, only dozing off due to exhaustion when dawn breaks."

Xu Yueru laughed even more jovially, "Lu Chen, if she can’t sleep night after night, could it be because you’re tormenting her? Qin Yaotiao does have a nice figure, and I’m sure any man would want to be entwined with her! But, well... she doesn’t understand men, why don’t you come find me? Anywhere is fine with me..."

Lu Chen scoffed and promptly issued a dismissal, "Xu Yueru, if you came just to say this, then you may as well leave."

Seeing this, Xu Yueru also dropped her facade, turning serious, "Currently, there are ten Lu Family Martial Artists, all at the Bone Refinement Realm. Moreover, the elders of the Lu Family can hardly wait for Lu Changkong to take action. So, it’s highly possible that these Martial Artists will receive orders to storm Yu Pavilion and make a move against you! I want the jade pendant, and you want to stay alive. That’s why I came to find you!"

Hearing this news, Lu Chen was immediately alarmed!

He wasn’t in a rush to leave, yet through the reactions of these Martial Artists, he inferred that Lu Changkong had many concerns and would not act, which also allowed him to enhance his own strength and look for an opportunity to leave!

But if Lu Changkong lost his reason...

Upon this thought, he immediately turned around and said in a deep voice, "Do you know when Lu Changkong might act?"

"He wouldn’t dare during broad daylight, so it’s very likely to be tonight! Lu Chen, there’s not much time..."

Xu Yueru narrowed her eyes, no longer flirtatious, but instead full of grave seriousness.

After a long consideration, Lu Chen said, "Then at sunset, we will leave the city!"

"Agreed," Xu Yueru stood up straight, "I hope you remember your words. Otherwise, even if you manage to escape the pursuit of these ten Martial Artists at the Bone Refinement Realm, you won’t escape the clutches of the Marrow Refinement Realm powerhouse backing me!"

Her footsteps rapidly retreated, while Lu Chen stood quietly in place.

But suddenly, there was a rustling sound from behind, and Lu Chen knew that Qin Yaotiao was awake.

Or perhaps, she had never slept at all.

A pair of lotus arms tightly wrapped around Lu Chen’s waist, followed by a voice tinged with sobs.

"Young Master, are we leaving tonight?"

"Yes," Lu Chen gently patted her hand and said, "Don’t be afraid, with the Young Master here, everything will be fine."

"I know," Qin Yaotiao lowered her head, silent for a long time, then suddenly said, "Young Master, take Yaotiao... Yaotiao is still afraid!"

Lu Chen stiffened all over; he knew Qin Yaotiao was concerned they might not make it through this ordeal.

But before he could speak words to comfort her, he heard the sound of clothes being untied!
