Untouchable Lovers

Chapter 299: Chapter 275: Red Beans Grow in the Southern Country

Chen Bai stood in front of Chu Yu.

Chu Yu looked at Hua Cuo, whose eyebrows expressed a chilling murderous intent. After a moment of silence, Chu Yu slowly said, “Hua Cuo, have I ever treated you unfairly?” There had been some minor conflicts between the two before, mainly because of Rong Zhi, but now, the bloodiness before him was chilling to the heart.

Hua Cuo said indifferently, “Your biggest mistake lies in having caught Rong Zhi’s heart.” Feng Ting, Tian Rujing, and he each had their roles, led by Feng Ting, with Tian Rujing as the shield and last resort, and himself as the sword. Feng Ting had sacrificed her male concubine, Tian Rujing had forsaken his love, and he was to abandon his conscience at this moment.

Hatred and fury, the venomous fire, burned within Hua Cuo, growing ever more intense over the years. Achieving this was not a very difficult task; hatred could blind everything, including one’s mind.

Chen Bai shouted harshly, “Block him!” Those accompanying drew their weapons and confronted Hua Cuo, blocking his path; blood splattered constantly amidst shouts, but Chen Bai didn’t even glance at it as he escorted Chu Yu back to the carriage and ordered a swift retreat.

Chen Bai took the coachman’s seat directly, whipped the horses, and seized a moment to pull out a palm-sized paper packet from his bosom. He yanked the string on the side and threw it out the window. After doing these, he said to Chu Yu and the others inside the carriage, “Since Hua Cuo has turned against us, we can no longer stay in Luoyang; we must leave at once.”

The paper packet tumbled to the corner of the street and exploded with a bang. Soon after, black smoke billowed into the sky, resembling the desolate beacons of ancient battlefields, silently proclaiming the imminent slaughter in the chilling cold wind.
