Chapter 152 Response
"call out!"
There was a sharp sound of breaking wind, and an arrow rushed towards Lin Chuan like lightning.
"Roar!"
In an instant, an angry roar erupted from behind Lin Chuan, and the sound seemed to be able to penetrate one's eardrums.
The three of them subconsciously looked back quickly, only to see an arrow deeply embedded in an extremely thick branch, and a pool of shocking bright red juice flowing on the ground.
"If you don't want to die, come in."
A calm voice echoed slowly at the entrance of the hall. Lin Chuan subconsciously looked in that direction and saw a slender woman walking into the hall with her back to them.
Lin Chuan and the other two looked at each other, and after glancing at each other, they quickly followed without hesitation.
In the main hall.
The woman was wearing a loose robe that was obviously ill-fitting, with the hem hanging casually. She sat lazily against the wall, like a casual yet mysterious painting.
Her gaze slowly turned to Lin Chuan and the other two who had just entered. There seemed to be thoughts flowing in her eyes, as if she was immersed in deep thought, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking at the moment.
"senior!"
Lin Chuan hurriedly bowed, his face full of respect, but he was already slightly shocked. In fact, he had vaguely suspected something when he saw the woman's back, but it was not until he saw her face clearly that he was completely confirmed.
This woman was the one that Lin Chuan had found in the corner before, who was barely breathing and looked like she was about to die.
"Are these your clothes?"
The woman raised her hand slightly, pointing to the loose robe on her body, and her red lips parted slightly, with a bit of laziness and curiosity in her words. Her eyes also fell on Lin Chuan, as if waiting for his answer.
"It's his."
Lin Chuan said this, pointing at Zhao Gang standing beside him. After all, when Lin Chuan saw the woman, she was naked. If he admitted that it was him who gave her the clothes, who knows if she would turn hostile on the spot.
"Ah I?"
Zhao Gang was stunned at first, then looked at the woman in front of him with confusion, then turned to look at Lin Chuan, as if he had not figured out what was going on at all.
"But this dress has your scent on it."
The woman frowned slightly, her eyes wandering over Lin Chuan. Although her tone was flat, it revealed an unquestionable certainty.
"He gave you the clothes. If you want to repay him, go find him."
Bai Zhi pulled Lin Chuan behind her and pointed at Zhao Gang standing beside her.
Zhao Gang: "Ah?"
"This is for you. We're even."
The woman seemed not to have heard Bai Zhi's words, and her expression did not show any ripples. She just waved her slender hand lightly, and in an instant, an arrow appeared out of thin air in front of Lin Chuan.
"What is this?" Lin Chuan frowned slightly, staring at the arrow that suddenly appeared in front of him, his eyes full of confusion.
"After you get out, if you encounter any trouble, break this arrow and I can help you, but only once." The woman opened her red lips slightly, her voice still calm.
"Get out? Senior, do you know how to get out?"
A hint of surprise and anticipation flashed across Lin Chuan's eyes. He hurriedly took a step forward, looking at the woman with burning eyes, and his voice unconsciously rose a few degrees.
"That's what we're going to talk about next."
"Do you want to go out?"
The woman raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Lin Chuan and the other two one by one.
"I want to!" the three said in unison.
"Unfortunately, I can only take one of you out alive. The other two will die here."
The woman spoke expressionlessly, her words as cold as a biting wind, ruthlessly blowing away their newly ignited hopes and making the atmosphere in the hall instantly become heavy and depressing, as if a layer of haze was hanging over everyone's heads.
"Let him live."
There was determination in Bai Zhi's eyes. She raised her hand without hesitation and pointed directly at Lin Chuan beside her. Then her eyes suddenly became unfriendly and she looked coldly at Zhao Gang on the other side, with a warning in her eyes.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I take the blame for the bad things and let him get all the good things. You just know how to bully honest people." Zhao Gang muttered aggrievedly.
"I choose him too." Zhao Gang paused, as if he had made a great decision, and slowly raised his hand, pointing to Lin Chuan beside him.
"Two people must die?" Lin Chuan frowned and looked at the woman in front of him, as if he wanted to get a different answer from her.
"Ah."
The woman responded softly, her tone flat and cold. That short word was like a heavy hammer, ruthlessly shattering the last bit of hope in Lin Chuan's heart, making the already depressing atmosphere in the hall even heavier and more breathtaking.
"you……"
Lin Chuan slowly looked at Bai Zhi, opened his lips slightly, and was about to speak, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Bai Zhi.
"If you die, I will never live alone." Bai Zhi's face was firm, and her eyes were full of affection and determination.
"..."
"Let him live, she and I will stay."
Lin Chuan took a deep breath and slowly pointed at Zhao Gang, who was lying on a blanket not far away and looked like he was ready to sleep peacefully. His tone was full of unquestionable determination.
"Ah I?"
When Zhao Gang heard this, he was completely stunned. His eyes widened and his jaw almost dropped to the ground. His face was full of disbelief. He never expected that the chance to "survive" would fall on his head.
"Are you sure? No regrets?"
The woman raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Lin Chuan's face. Her cold voice echoed in the silent hall, as if giving Lin Chuan a last chance to regret.
"Death under the peonies, even being a ghost is romantic."
Lin Chuan's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a slightly bitter but somewhat free and easy smile, then he slowly stretched out his hand, gently took Bai Zhi's slender and soft hand, and held it tightly.
Bai Zhi stared at Lin Chuan blankly, her eyes slightly red, filled with complex emotions, some touching, some reluctant. Then, as if she had made a great decision, she gritted her teeth and suddenly pulled her hand away from Lin Chuan.
"You..., there's no need to do this. You still have a master and a senior sister..."
Bai Zhi's lips trembled slightly, and her voice was choked with sobs as she tried to persuade Lin Chuan to change his mind. But before she could finish her words, Lin Chuan hugged her tightly in his arms.
"Do you remember what you said to me when you came to find me in the Qingluan Holy Land?" Lin Chuan lowered his head slightly, looking at Bai Zhi who was struggling slightly in his arms with gentle eyes.
"Ah."
Bai Zhi responded softly, a faint blush unconsciously appearing on her face. That was the first time she expressed her feelings to Lin Chuan, but Lin Chuan did not respond at the time.
"If I tell you now that I like you too, will you still be willing to let me leave?" Lin Chuan looked at her with a passionate and sincere gaze.
"I'm reluctant, but..."
Bai Zhi was very happy to see her feelings being responded to. She really liked the feeling of leaning in Lin Chuan's arms.
But she didn't want this to be Lin Chuan's end.
