215: Chapter 207 Zhu’er Falls into a Trap_1 215: Chapter 207 Zhu’er Falls into a Trap_1 Lu Chuan hurried over and took down the flower garland, detaching the paper tied to it.

On it was written a long message.

“Aniu, you are the person that Master ordered my senior brother and me to kill.

Although you’re really detestable and annoying, and I truly wanted to kill you, I am someone who recognizes and repays kindness.

You saved me twice and even healed my foot injury, so I couldn’t bring myself to harm you.”

“Therefore, I made a decision against Master’s orders, to let you off.

From now on, we owe each other nothing.

If we meet again in the world of martial arts, I definitely won’t show you any mercy.”

“Also, about you forcibly kissing me and getting handsy with me, I truly can’t forgive that.

You hurt me by squeezing so hard, but I don’t want to see you again, so I’ll express my anger with this drawing, hoping you won’t treat other girls this way in the future—it’s really annoying.”

Below that was a sketch of a little boy tied up with ropes, hanging from a tree, while a little girl gave him a fierce knock on the head.

The little boy was wailing loudly, and the little girl was laughing heartily.

It was unclear if it was a mistake, but although the little girl was laughing heartily, her eyes were brimming with tears, and she didn’t seem very happy.

Below the sketch, there was a line of small print: “This flower garland is for that understanding and gentle Aniu.

The disgusting Aniu, who only takes advantage by getting handsy, is not allowed to wear it.”

After reading the contents of the paper, Lu Chuan’s emotions became incredibly complicated.

It turned out that the person who had come to see him during his breakthrough was Zhu’er.

Looking at the fierce expression on the little girl’s face as she struck the little boy in the sketch, Lu Chuan couldn’t help but reveal a gentle smile.

He couldn’t fathom just how kindhearted a girl must be, who, when enormously angry, could only think of venting her spleen by giving someone a knock on the head.

“It seems that Zhu’er, knowing my identity, didn’t react as extremely as I had anticipated.

Although she was under orders from our Master to kill me, she ultimately chose to let go.

On the contrary, I, upon learning that Zhu’er was the Great Elder’s disciple, prejudged she would stand against me and deliberately hurt Zhu’er’s heart.”

“Looking back, it seems I was a bit foolish.

Why couldn’t I just explain things clearly to Zhu’er?”

“I must have been kicked in the head by a donkey, sigh…”

Lu Chuan stared at the flower garland in his hands with regret.

After being silent for a few minutes, he hung the garland back and sighed, “I guess Zhu’er and I probably won’t see each other again in this lifetime.”

…

On the outskirts of Cloud City.

Zhu’er walked despondently toward the direction of Moon Natural Spring.

She arrived at the edge of Moon Natural Spring and sat down on the stone where Lu Chuan had treated her foot injury.

“I went against Master’s order; I’ll probably be expelled from the sect.”

“But I just couldn’t bring myself to harm Aniu.

I guess the reason he suddenly became so rough that day was probably because he learned about my identity from somewhere.”

“Aniu isn’t the sleazy type.

Looking back now, his acting that day was terribly unconvincing.

Although he seemed pretty serious when he kissed me, and his smelly hands—they even touched such private places—it’s infuriating, that disgusting Aniu!”

“I also don’t understand why Master ordered us to kill Aniu.

Perhaps some misunderstanding arose between them, sigh…”

Yesterday, she had already sensed something was off about the sudden change in Lu Chuan’s attitude toward her, but she was too angry at the time to realize just how awkward Lu Chuan’s pretense of being a villain was.

After calming down, she noticed the clues.

When she realized that Aniu was the Lu Chuan that her Master had ordered them to kill, she immediately guessed that Lu Chuan must have known her identity; otherwise, he wouldn’t have changed so drastically toward her.

As someone with a sensitive mind, Zhu’er easily guessed that Lu Chuan didn’t know how to face her, afraid that she would be at a loss upon knowing the truth, and that was why he played the villain this time.

That’s why she suggested to Liufeng yesterday that she would go and kill Lu Chuan alone.

She was afraid that Lu Chuan would truly die at the hands of Liufeng.

Although on one hand there was her mentor and senior fellow disciples, and on the other was Aniu, with whom she had only spent a few days, she ought to have stood by her mentor and senior brothers.

Yet since entering her mentor’s tutelage, she had never experienced any warmth from her mentor and fellow disciples, whereas the few days with Aniu made her feel concern and care that she had never had in her life.

So she chose to protect Lu Chuan.

“But after this time, I probably won’t have the chance to see Aniu again, I wonder what kind of wife he will marry in the future.

No matter what, his wife will definitely be very happy,” she said.

A strong feeling of jealousy was evident in Zhu’er’s eyes.

After a long while, she sighed, left the Moon Natural Spring, and headed to the base where Liufeng was.

Seeing Zhu’er return, Liufeng immediately came forward and asked, “How did it go?”

Zhu’er said, “That Lu Chuan wasn’t really strong, I killed him quite easily.”

“For such a minor role, having the two of us come to kill him does seem like an overqualification, I feel like the master might have just used this as an opportunity for us to come down the mountain and relax a bit.”

“Now that the mission is complete, we can return to the sect and report back.

Maybe the Great Elder doesn’t care whether Lu Chuan is dead or not at all.”

Liufeng smiled and said, “Junior sister is absolutely right.

As for such an insignificant character, the master wouldn’t take it to heart.”

“However, junior sister must have expended a lot of energy in making a move this time.

I happen to have an elixir pill here that restores strength.

I’ll give it to junior sister to eat,” he said.

After finishing his words, he took out an elixir pill and handed it to Zhu’er.

Zhu’er took it and said, “Thanks, Senior Brother, but I don’t need to take this elixir pill now.

I’ll keep it and eat it when I need it later.”

Liufeng’s eyes flashed with urgency upon hearing this, and he quickly said, “Junior sister, this elixir pill is a bit special.

Once it’s taken out of the jade bottle, if not consumed, its efficacy will quickly diminish.

So you should not put it away, just eat it now.

This elixir pill is rather valuable, it would be a pity to waste it.”

After hearing this, Zhu’er reluctantly nodded and said, “Okay then, I’ll eat it now.”

Having said that, she stuffed the elixir pill into her mouth.

Liufeng watched Zhu’er swallow the elixir pill and then he breathed a sigh of relief, a mocking smile curling up at the corner of his mouth as he said, “Junior sister, you take a rest here for a while.

I’ll go pack up our things, and we’ll start the journey back to the sect.”

After he finished speaking, he went to pack up but deliberately spread out a blanket on the ground.

Zhu’er looked at Liufeng with a puzzled face and asked, “Senior brother, aren’t we going back to the sect?

Why are you spreading out a blanket?”

Liufeng smiled and said, “Oh, we might need it in a bit.”

Zhu’er wanted to ask what the blanket was for, but just then, she suddenly felt a loss of strength in her body, and certain desires in her heart began to be amplified limitlessly.

She sat down on a nearby rock, one hand on her forehead, her brow furrowed as she asked, “Senior Brother, was the elixir pill you just gave me the wrong one?

Why do I feel like I have no strength, and…

and…

my body is getting really hot…”
