Chapter 90
Although Qiu Chi could have directly killed all the sects and families involved in the Shangguan family massacre, she was still planning to attend the Wulin Assembly a year from now.
At that time, she would crush them directly at the assembly and, while she was at it, expose their evil deeds.
As for whether others would believe her, Qiu Chi couldn't care less. She just needed to do what she wanted to do.
Qiu Chi stayed at the Demon Sect for over a month. Feeling the time was about right to beat Lou Yu half to death again, she finally set out.
Lou Yu was currently at the Lu family estate, bidding farewell to Lu Ziang.
Lu Yuan clung to Lu Ziang, whining, “Father, Brother Lou's injuries haven't fully healed yet. What important matter requires him to go? Can't you send someone else? Can't I go with him?”
“Your Brother Lou has important business to attend to. Don't cause trouble.”
After a half-hearted attempt to soothe Lu Yuan, Lu Ziang gave Lou Yu a few more instructions, and only then did Lou Yu depart.
As he left, he didn't even spare Lu Yuan a single glance.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little wronged.
Lu Ziang looked at Lu Yuan and shook his head. “It's obvious he has no feelings for you. Why are you still hung up on him? Our Lu family has so many fine young men. Why are you always staring at an outsider?”
If it weren't for something as major as the theft from the library and treasury, he would never have cooperated with Lou Yu.
As for making Lou Yu his son-in-law? He wouldn't feel safe keeping a wolf by his side.
If Lou Yu could team up with others to bring the Shangguan family to ruin, he could just as easily team up with others to destroy the Lu family.
As for killing Lou Yu to silence him, Lu Ziang had considered it.
But it was clear that Lou Yu was not alone. He had a hidden force behind him, one they couldn't investigate. They could only guess that Lou Yu might be a man of the imperial court.
Otherwise, how could he be so well-informed, yet they couldn't find any trace of him?
This was also why they had immediately suspected the imperial court after the library and treasury were robbed.
After Lou Yu left the Lu estate, a man who looked perfectly ordinary walked past him, swiftly stuffing a note into his hand. To any observer, it looked like they had simply brushed past each other.
The note contained news that Qiu Chi had established a Demon Sect and had now left, her specific destination unknown.
After reading it, Lou Yu crushed the note to dust. He glanced toward the direction of the Demon Sect, then mounted his horse and rode away.
On the other side, Qiu Chi had no destination. She was just riding her horse aimlessly.
She felt that a chance encounter from wandering randomly would be faster than a painstaking search.
This was the ill-fated bond of a male and female lead.
And just as Qiu Chi had thought, even while riding aimlessly, she could still run into Lou Yu.
When the two met, neither seemed surprised.
Lou Yu still wore that icy expression.
Qiu Chi, however, looked him up and down before speaking. “Your wounds should be mostly healed, right? I'm here to add a little color to you again. Happy?”
Lou Yu's thin lips pressed into a straight line. His deep, dark eyes stared fixedly at Qiu Chi, as if looking through her at someone else.
Qiu Chi instantly lost any mood for a reunion.
She raised her whip and lashed out directly at Lou Yu.
Lou Yu dodged to the side.
Qiu Chi sneered, “You think you can dodge?”
Qiu Chi used her whip to drag Lou Yu right off his horse.
The horse, startled, immediately bolted.
Qiu Chi sat on her own horse, whipping him just as she had the first time.
As she whipped him, Qiu Chi didn't forget to speak. “Keep staring at me with those eyes of yours. Believe it or not, I'll gouge them out.”
“Aren't you disgusting? Putting on this act of deep affection for me.”
“You destroyed her family and wanted to lock her up and abuse her. Now that she's gone, you're pretending to be devoted?”
“If you're so devoted, why don't you just kill yourself? Kill yourself and go be with her!”
Lou Yu finally spoke. “I'm going to drive you out.”
Qiu Chi scoffed. “With what? You don't even have the strength to fight back when I hit you. The best solution now is for you to die and go be with her.”
“Then you kill me.”
Qiu Chi: “…” Kill you, and the world will restart. I'm not about to destroy an evolving world just for you. You piece of trash, what a beautiful thought.
