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

Chapter 375 The Wound Turmoil

"Shen Xu, what happened to the wound on your lip?" Bai Lu asked coldly from the flying shuttle.

"I was bitten," Shen Xu replied somewhat helplessly, not intending to hide the truth.

"Who?" Bai Lu's tone grew increasingly cold.

"You don't know her, but she's incredibly powerful. I couldn't move against her at all. I had no power to resist whatever she wanted to do. In the end, she even drugged me, which is why I came back so late." Shen Xu tried to explain the situation in the simplest terms possible.

"Shameless!" After hearing Shen Xu's story, Bai Lu's eyes seemed to glisten with tears.

"Don't misunderstand, she only bit me once. I was still lying in the same spot when I woke up. And what am I supposed to do? I can't even move." Shen Xu felt a little exhausted.

"Did he really just bite you once?" Bai Lu asked, her eyes blurry with tears.

"Absolutely true! If there were other things going on, wouldn't telling you the truth just arouse your suspicion?"

"Next time I go out, I want to be with you."

"Okay, okay! Grandma, don't cry."

"Who said I cried? I just got sand in my eyes," Bai Lu said stubbornly, wiping away her tears.

As if she had thought of something, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Bai Lu's eyes: "I want to know who she is, and why she bit you?"

"Xiao Yi's sister, as for why she bit me, I'd also like to know. I only met her four times today, and we didn't even exchange many words."

“Li Xiaoyi has an older sister! That’s impossible!” Bai Lu exclaimed in shock.

"It's normal that you didn't know that you recognized her before the Sword Selection. But you don't need to think about looking for her anymore; she's probably already gone to the outskirts of Xingchuan."

In her previous life, Shang Xueyi was not the young palace master of the Blood Fiend Palace. It seems that she must have lost in this struggle. But what kind of amazing talent could defeat Shang Xueyi?

"Impossible! The inter-domain arrays leading to the outer domains are all closed now. She couldn't possibly have gone to the outer domains. Are you trying to hide her whereabouts?" Bai Lu immediately retorted coldly.

"I already said she's very strong; she doesn't necessarily need an inter-domain formation to go to the outer realms." Seeing that Bai Lu was about to lash out again, Shen Xu quickly explained.

"If you want to know more about her, you should ask Xiao Yi directly. I'm really not familiar with her."

"Fine! If I find out you're lying to me, I... I'll kick you out of Qingling Creek!"

Shen Xu fell silent. Bai Lu's move had really hit his weak spot, and he could no longer leave the Ancient Forest.

Seeing that Shen Xu stopped talking, Bai Lu couldn't help but panic. She just wanted to threaten Shen Xu, but what if Shen Xu really moved out of the Ancient Forest?

She had lost Shen Xu's only bond, and for the first time, Bai Lu realized how fragile her relationship with Shen Xu was.

“I haven’t lied to you about anything that happened today. Also, if you’re going to kick me out of Qinglingxi, please find me a place to stay.”

"Shen Xu, I'm sorry! I just spoke without thinking. As long as you're willing to stay in Qinglingxi, I won't have any objections even if you stay for the rest of your life," Bai Lu said anxiously.

“I don’t mean to blame you. Qinglingxi is your place, and you have the right to completely control it. You’ve already done me a favor by letting me live there. It’s completely understandable that you don’t want me to continue living there if I upset you.”

“Shen Xu…” Bai Lu was somewhat speechless.

"Tell me what you and Qiqi did today! You and Qiqi just met, how did you become so close?" Shen Xu asked with a smile.

Seeing Shen Xu's smile, Bai Lu's unease immediately dissipated, and she quickly changed the subject, saying, "I liked Qi Qi the moment I saw her. Qi Qi said that the cultivation method she practices is the same as the one you practice. Is that true?"

"Probably! Back then, our ancestor left behind two inheritances in the Cloud Mist Bamboo Realm. I obtained one of them, and the other one should have been obtained by Qiqi."

“I heard about your deeds at the Green Bamboo Sword Sect from Qi Qi and Xiao Yun. Shen Xu, you are really amazing. If I were in your position, I definitely wouldn’t have done as well as you. But you have never told us about those things.”

"It's alright! People are forced into things. If I hadn't been forced into it, I definitely wouldn't have entered the Cloud Mist Bamboo Realm on my own initiative."

Hearing Shen Xu's words, Bai Lu suddenly remembered what Yang Qiqi had told her, "Senior Brother Shen is a very passive person. If you don't push him, he will never take the initiative with you..."

Then she thought of the woman who bit Shen Xu's lip, and the girls around Shen Xu. It seemed like she was the only one foolishly waiting for Shen Xu to take the initiative to find her.

"But how should I take the initiative?" Looking at Shen Xu sitting upright opposite her, Bai Lu couldn't help but feel troubled. This was a rare opportunity for her to be alone with Shen Xu.

"Let's go back and ask Guanbi!" Bai Lu made up her mind.

By the time the white dew's shuttle landed on the Qingling Creek, a bright moon was already hanging high in the night sky.

"Looks like we got back a bit late today. I wonder if Guanbi left us any food." Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Shen Xu couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, Guanbi is so understanding, she'll definitely save some for us," Bailu said with a smile.

Aside from the fact that Shen Xu's lip was bitten by some shameless woman, she was quite satisfied with this solo trip with Shen Xu.

After all, he met Shen Xu's fellow disciples, gained the approval of Shen Xu's sister, and even received a promise that he would take her to his home. He gained a lot!

However, looking at Shen Xu's lips, which were still stained with traces of blood, Bai Lu couldn't help but swallow hard. "What a shameless woman!" When she got back, she would definitely question Li Xiaoyi about why he had recognized such a woman as his sister.

"Did you have fun today, Miss?" Guan Bi asked with a smile.

"I'm alright!" Bai Lu touched the stray hairs on her forehead.

"Miss, you're still so easy to understand," Guan Bi thought to herself.

When Guan Bi turned to look at Shen Xu, her expression changed drastically. "Shen Xu, you wouldn't be with Miss..."

"How could that be! Guanbi, don't think such things," Bailu quickly explained.

"Then what's wrong with your lips, Shen Xu?" Guan Bi's face instantly turned cold.

"Bai Lu, you should explain to them! I'm afraid I'll be torn to pieces before I finish speaking." Shen Xu sensed an undisguised killing intent from behind, and when he turned around, he saw Li Xiaoyi, who was completely hidden in the shadows.

“You tell me yourself, I’m not going to help you,” Bai Lu refused without hesitation.

Left with no other option, Shen Xu had to recount the events in detail once again.

After he finished recounting his ordeal, Shen Xu felt the temperature around him drop significantly. Although Li Xiaoyi, who was standing next to him, had a calm expression, Shen Xu could sense the immense turmoil behind that calm facade.

"Has my sister left yet?" Li Xiaoyi suddenly asked.

"She should leave now, after all, she came to see me just to say goodbye."

Do you want your sister to leave?

"Whether she leaves or not, I never want to see her again."

Why don't you want to see your sister?

“She lied to me twice, there won’t be a third time. Besides, she’s dangerous, and I don’t like putting my life in someone else’s hands.”
