Chapter 337

Gu Qingwan urged, the wind blew in at some unknown time, stirring Gu Qingwan's hair, revealing her already beautiful face.

Gu Qingwan stood up, gesturing with her eyes for Su Liyan to lead the way.

Su Liyan was doubtful, yet she still led the person and left directly.

Until they left, the room was already calm.

The five people were like stiff ants, at a loss.

They could not move either.

"Sister, if we leave like this, will they come looking for us?"

"Will they not kill me?"

Su Liyan linked arms with Gu Qingwan, sticking out her tongue, like a three-year-old child, utterly adorable.

Gu Qingwan reached out to touch the other's cheek, smiling while helplessly shaking her head.

"That's only you who can say that."

"They wouldn't dare; believe me, if they did, I'd twist their heads off."

"And what about Lu Yuan?" Su Liyan said, leaning her face forward,

with a curious, baby-like expression.

Gu Qingwan gently pushed Su Liyan, but seeing she wouldn't budge, she sighed helplessly.

"Lu Yuan, he shouldn't even think about it."

"And what if he bullies me?"

"He wouldn't dare."

Su Liyan got the answer she wanted, immediately covering her mouth and laughing: "Good, good, good, with sister saying that, if Lu Yuan bullies me, I have sister to back me up."

The two walked forward hand in hand, strides confident.

Of course, if you look closely, Su Liyan is like a koala, clinging directly to Gu Qingwan's shoulder.

In the distance, Lu Yuan arrived near the base they had spoken of.

The defenses here are relatively high; judging by the aura, there are also many experts.

Indeed, he still needs to investigate, but where should he investigate?

Lu Yuan pondered.

With a slight movement of his fingers, a thread of aura spread along his fingertips, gradually extending outward.

Of those who go to the battlefield, how many are stronger than him? Those true experts are all stationed in the rear, waiting for the crucial moment to strike.

You ask why?

If they really wanted to fight, they would have already started.

Why watch the Great Qin Dynasty struggle to survive to this day?

"I wonder what the two wives are doing? Do they miss me?"

Lu Yuan thought, then suddenly sneezed, rubbing his nose.

His brows and eyes were full of joy, thinking it was Gu Qingwan and Su Liyan thinking of him, but actually not.

Gu Lie was boasting about his brother-in-law's deeds.

He said he was the number one person under heaven, even when asked about Lu Yuan's relationship with the imperial prince.

Gu Lie hemmed and hawed, unable to explain clearly.

It's not that he doesn't want to say, but that he dares not.

Whether it's Lu Yuan or the imperial prince, he is no match for them.

"Alright, alright, I'll go back another day to check; first I need to handle what's at hand."

Just as Lu Yuan's thoughts were flying wildly, in the distance… a clamor shattered the silence.

A little cherry-blossom soldier came running, stumbling.

His expression was somewhat grim.

Even on his forehead, sweat kept pouring.

The weapon in his hand kept shaking.

It seemed as if in the next second his body would collapse.

"Report!"

"What's wrong?"

"Three people have died in the distance, and they are from the ghost clan's side."

"From the ghost clan?"

The leader's pupils contracted sharply, the disbelief on his face about to overflow.

"How is that possible?! If the ghost clan's people died, that would mean… would mean…"

The captain trembled as he covered his head.

The fear in his face was about to overflow.

Yes, he was afraid, afraid of the person behind the ghost clan.

They are among the top figures of the cherry-blossom faction; for such people to die on the battlefield, the army commander will surely be held accountable.

"Where are they?"

The captain let out a roar, looking at the soldier who came to report.

The soldier stammered, pointing to the right, that is, the direction Lu Yuan came from.

"From our sensing direction, it's there; what should we do? Captain, should we go check?"

"Look? Look at what? It's not originally our responsibility; are we being forced to take the blame?"

But...

The soldier wanted to explain something.

After all, this is the ghost clan; if those above inquire, they can't just pretend to be deaf and mute, can they?

The other soldiers looked at each other.

It's not that they don't want to.

But, they aren't qualified to participate in this matter; this is an affair of the ghost clan and those above, and has nothing to do with them.

However... they also approve of not saving people.

What is saving people? They don't know, and they don't want to know.

"Alright, since they've harmed our people, let the Great Qin Dynasty see just whose world this is!"

"Everyone follow me, let us commence a carnage of revelry!"

Upon hearing this, everyone began to cheer.

Yes, they really enjoy such warfare.

They wish they could rush forward and strike a Great Qin Dynasty unawares.

Lu Yuan heard the movement, his brows slightly furrowed.

How could he not know their intentions?

Clearly they just want to gain some advantage, to suppress the ghost clan's death toll as low as possible.

However, it seems they don't like the ghost clan either, right?

Since they are the foremost power, their tribe is also rather special.

As for other matters, Lu Yuan couldn't tell for now.

"Looks like I need to go with them myself to see; maybe I can sneak in."

Thinking so, Lu Yuan turned into a breeze and followed behind the group.

The captain constantly felt he was being spied on, a bad premonition welling up in his heart, though he couldn't tell where it came from.

He turned his head, looking behind.

"Do you feel someone behind you?"

The captain asked the person beside him.

The person beside him rubbed his head and shook it with a foolish look.

"Where? We don't feel anything; Captain, did you mistake it?"

"No? But my sixth sense has never been this wrong before!"

"Could it really be my illusion? Well, it seems indeed like my illusion."

The captain sighed helplessly and strode forward with the troop.

Although the troop wore ordinary clothing, their weapons and equipment were still decent.

Especially the captain, who used the lightest armor plates, his armor was impeccable.

The rest were still rather ordinary.

This is the captain's advantage, and also his disadvantage.

The captain walks slowly, of course; the advantage is that ordinary bullets cannot penetrate his armor plates to strike him.

Except for cultivators.

Lu Yuan saw the captain's full armor.

In his heart, aside from disgust, there was nothing else.

He had seen disgust before, but never such disgust.

He actually used mecha to give himself a protective layer.

Good fellow, worthy of being Little Cherry Blossom.

Such a brainhole, he had never seen before.

The wind gently swayed, stirring the captain's hair, lifting the evident mark behind him.

Above the mark, strange runes were drawn.

The runes were purple, faintly visible, as if coming from the heavens.

Very strange, yet extremely mysterious.

Lu Yuan stroked his chin, seemingly pondering where this thing came from.

Why is it on this person... (End of chapter)
