After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 372 A bloody story

After a while, following the slowly advancing crowd under the blazing sun, everyone's mood was not very good.

"Let's go back first! We're not just staying in Tianjian City for one day; we'll have many more opportunities to explore different parts of Tianjian City in the future," Wang Ya suggested.

"That's all we can do," Shen Xu said helplessly. Today, Tianjian City gave him a feeling similar to when he went to a temple fair in his previous life.

“Tianjian City may not return to normal until after the auction, but you can stay at Tianhe Club. Shen Xu and I will come back and show you around Tianjian City after the auction.” Bai Lu clearly didn’t like the crowded atmosphere either.

"It's mainly because we have a lot of people today, so it might be better if only one or two people go out," Jiang Yun said.

"Then I'll take Qiqi and Xiaoyun out for a stroll!" Bailu suddenly suggested.

“That works too. Shen Xu, you can take Wu Qi and Qingqing around and look around as you please!” Wang Ya said.

"Senior Sister Wang, I want to stay and keep you company!" Lu Qingqing couldn't help but feel a little worried about Wang Ya's condition.

"Don't worry, I'm not that fragile, and the sect leader needs my help too."

"Shen Xu, is Miss Bai's status in the Tianhe Sword Sect very high?" Lu Qingqing asked after the group separated.

"Probably! I haven't asked her."

Shen Xu was certain that Bai Lu held an exceptionally high position in the Tianhe Sword Sect, after all, the Tianhe Sword Master was a relative of hers.

"Compared to the woman beside Lu Qingshan?"

"Qin Qing is definitely no match for Bai Lu. Why did you ask this, Senior Sister?" Shen Xu couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Could you ask Miss Bai to break up Lu Qingshan and that woman?"

“This…” Shen Xu fell silent. He hadn’t expected Lu Qingqing to be so obsessed with Wang Ya’s matter.

At this moment, Wu Qi spoke up: "Senior Sister Lu, just leave this matter alone. Even if Miss Bai really breaks up Lu Qingshan and that woman, my sister won't give him a second glance!"

"Wu Qi, this matter is not as simple as you think. Don't act rashly." Lu Qingqing frowned.

“Senior Sister, regardless of whether Bai Lu will agree to this, the key is that there is no reason for it! Just like Senior Sister Wang said, she and Senior Brother Lu have no relationship, so what can she use to break them up?” Shen Xu sighed softly.

He certainly wanted to see Lu Qingshan and Wang Ya together, but he also understood that forced relationships are never happy, and Bai Lu wouldn't risk offending the Qin family to do something thankless for him.

“What if I said they have a relationship?” Lu Qingqing suddenly said.

"Huh? What do you mean, senior sister?" Shen Xu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"One of the Grand Elder's last wishes was that Senior Sister Wang and my brother could be together. In fact, my father had already proposed marriage to the Wang family, and the Wang family head had agreed to the marriage. However, Senior Sister insisted on waiting until my brother returned before the two families announced the matter together."

"What! How come I didn't know about this?" Wu Qi's voice was loud, immediately attracting the attention of many people around.

"What can you possibly hide with your mouth!"

"If I had known about this, I would have punched him in the face long ago," Wu Qi said through gritted teeth.

"What kind of melodramatic plot is this?!"

Shen Xu couldn't help but feel a headache. He thought the matter was over, but he didn't expect there to be a follow-up. However, the death of the Grand Elder was within his expectations.

For a moment, he didn't know what to do. Judging from Lu Qingshan's behavior earlier, he was definitely going to give up on Wang Ya.

However, given the power and influence of Qin Qing's family, they certainly wouldn't allow a man with a marriage contract to be with Qin Qing. If things were to come to light later, Lu Qingshan would definitely be in trouble.

However, Lu Qingshan was unaware of this when he was pursuing Qin Qing, so he probably feels very innocent.

There are only two possible outcomes to this matter: either Lu Qingshan abandons Qin Qing and fulfills his engagement with Wang Ya, or Lu Qingshan conceals the engagement, or the Qin family doesn't hold Lu Qingshan's engagement against him and allows him to break off the engagement so he can be with Qin Qing again.

Shen Xu felt that Lu Qingshan wouldn't choose the first option. Once he gave up Qin Qing, his days in the Sword Alliance would be very difficult. Moreover, after what had happened before, Wang Ya might not be able to accept Lu Qingshan.

But Lu Qingshan needs to know about this in any case; as for how he chooses, that's not up to him.

"Does the sect leader know about this?"

"The sect leader definitely knows, but he chose not to say it. As for his attitude, I don't know," Lu Qingqing replied.

"Forcibly separating them is definitely not feasible, nor is it necessary. Senior Sister Wang is a proud person, and she will not accept Senior Brother Lu, who betrayed her, again. Now, we can only tell Senior Brother Lu about this and see what he plans to do."

"But you don't need to worry too much. The harm won't extend to your family. If the Qin family really tries to harm your family, I'll ask Bai Lu for help." Shen Xu knew what Lu Qingqing was worried about.

“Junior Brother Shen…” Lu Qingqing seemed to want to say something, but in the end she remained silent.

"Let's go back! Everyone says that the prosperity of Tianjian City is unparalleled in the Sword Alliance, but all I see is scheming and despicable people."

"Some people come here and forget where they came from; they're destined to never achieve anything great in their lives," Wu Qi said with a hint of sarcasm.

“Alright! I’m also a little worried about Senior Sister Wang.” Lu Qingqing said with a slight frown.

Since both of them said so, Shen Xu naturally couldn't force them to continue wandering around outside, so he had no choice but to lead them back.

What should have been a joyous occasion has now turned into a source of frustration for so many people.

No one is at fault in this matter; the only fault lies with the insatiable desires in people's hearts.

Just as Shen Xu was feeling down, he suddenly heard a familiar voice gently sound behind him, "Shen Xu, I'm leaving now. Can we talk?"

Shen Xu's heart skipped a beat, then he forced himself to suppress his panic and said coldly, "Miss Xueyi, I think I made myself very clear last time. I don't want to have anything to do with you."

Wu Qi and Lu Qingqing turned around and saw a girl in a yellow dress with a very ordinary appearance standing behind them. After hearing Shen Xu's words, a faint sadness appeared in her eyes.

"Could you two please excuse us for a moment? Shen Xu and I have some private matters to discuss," Shang Xueyi said to Wu Qi and the other person.

"No need! I have nothing to talk to her about." After saying that, Shen Xu turned to walk straight ahead.

"Shen Xu, do you really want me to force you to submit?" Shang Xueyi's tone turned cold as she saw Shen Xu's behavior.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xu, who had just lifted his leg, put it back down, then turned around and looked directly at Shang Xueyi, "Let my two friends go."

"Of course you can, I never intended to do anything to you!"

"What's wrong with Shen Xu? Who is she?" Wu Qi asked with great concern.

“He’s one of my friends too. You guys go ahead. Don’t worry, I’ll be back in a bit,” Shen Xu said with a smile, trying to reassure you.

"Let's go!" Shen Xu said to Shang Xueyi, and then followed Shang Xueyi and gradually faded from their sight.

"I hope Shen Xu isn't in any danger!" Wu Qi was filled with worry. He seemed to sense a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood from the girl he had just met.

"It doesn't seem like it. The girl's eyes didn't seem malicious when she looked at Shen Xu; instead, they were full of affection. I guess it's another emotional debt that Shen Xu owes. Compared to my brother, a man like Shen Xu is even more despicable!" Lu Qingqing said quietly.
