Chapter 232 Expectation
Zi Yan and Mo Nian, who were hiding in the distance, watched Chu Lu casually throw Shen Ruyue's head aside, and the blood dyed the entire bathing pavilion red. The two looked at each other, their hearts filled with shock and confusion.

"He...what on earth is he going crazy about?" Mo Nian muttered to himself, his eyes full of disbelief, "Why did he kill Shen Ruyue?"

Zi Yan frowned, her face gloomy. She was just as confused as Mo Nian, and couldn't figure out what went wrong with her plan. Why did such a completely different result from her expectations appear?

She stared at Chu Lu's back, with a hint of coldness in her eyes: "Don't panic, keep observing and see what he will do next."

"Ah."

Then, under the gaze of the two, Chu Lu turned and left the bathing pavilion.

They watched Chu Lu walk straight towards the core area of ​​the City Lord's Mansion, encounter the soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion, kill them all the way, defeat all of Shen Ruyue's men, incorporate the entire army, successfully occupy the entire City Lord's Mansion, and release Shen Miaomiao's family to let them have a good rest.

By the time all this was done, dawn had broken.

Zi Yan and the other man watched the entire process, but the doubts in their hearts increased instead of decreasing.

Zi Yan couldn't help thinking: I don't understand, I don't understand. Could it be that I was wrong? He didn't come here last night because he was hungry and thirsty, but simply wanted to kill Shen Ruyue and rescue Shen Miaomiao's family? But if that's the case, why did he wait until today? He could have done it the next day after entering the city.

While Zi Yan was confused, Chu Lu started to act again.

His expression was as indifferent as ever, but his movements were extremely hurried, as if he was eager to accomplish something.

He forcibly gathered the scattered soldiers, selected a group of uninjured people, then took the cart and left the City Lord's Mansion, rushing all the way out of the city.

Zi Yan and Mo Nian looked at each other and immediately followed.

They came all the way to the abandoned temple outside the city. The ruffian stood there stupidly, and the entrance in front of the crooked tree was still open.

At Chu Lu's command, the soldiers rushed into the corpse cave and carried out the corpses one by one.

The corpses that the soldiers carried out gradually filled up the carts they carried, and the stench attracted crows all over the forest. The body of the young child was well preserved, with fear frozen on his pale face, and a faded longevity lock hanging around his neck.

Zi Yan and the other man looked more and more confused and surprised.

After emptying the corpse cave, Chu Lu gave a simple order: "Return to the city."

#####
In Luofeng City, Baizhi's clinic.

Bai Zhi stood in front of the paper window of the clinic, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the paint on the window frame. From the moment Chu Lu left, she was like being nailed to the ground, never leaving for a moment, her eyes fixed on the end of the bluestone road.

She was looking forward to the moment when Chu Lu would return victoriously, and to seeing him coming to see her holding Shen Ruyue's head in one hand and her child's body in the other.

She firmly believed that Chu Lu was a powerful cultivator and that he would succeed. She also believed that he was a kind and noble person who would never tolerate such a cruel thing happening.

After all, if he wasn't strong enough, how could he have decided to take action so firmly?

If she wasn't kind, how could she forgive her offensive behaviors such as throwing dead rats and splashing feces?

Chu Lu will definitely kill Shen Ruyue, and her revenge will definitely be avenged.

It must be like this.

Right!

However, she waited the whole night but did not see Chu Lu.

Her neck was as stiff as if it was filled with lead, her eyes began to swell, and her heels ached as if nails were driven into them. Her already unhealthy body gradually showed signs of collapse after a whole night of torture.

But she did not leave. She believed that if she waited a little longer, just a little longer, she would be able to see the scene she had been thinking about day and night.

Chu Lu will not fail, Chu Lu will not deceive her.

Just wait a little longer.

It must be so.

Right?

The sky was turning pale, the sun came out, and then climbed up to become a golden red disk. The scorching midday sun made the entire Luofeng City seem to melt. Bai Zhi could no longer stand. She was dizzy and could only hold on to the window, struggling to support herself.

But she still didn't want to leave, she gritted her teeth and looked outside with her eyes open.

Wait a little longer, just a little longer.

I will definitely wait for him.

Right...

Suddenly, her eyes went dark and she finally couldn't hold on and passed out.

She didn't know how much time had passed before she slowly woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw the old woman patting her face with a worried look on her face.

Seeing her wake up, he was surprised, and then he blamed her: "My old ancestor, what are you crazy about? Why did you faint? Did you miss your meal? Or what did you do?"

But Bai Zhi didn't bother to answer. She looked panicked and nervously shouted, "How long have I been unconscious?"

"What?" The old woman was stunned, then suddenly said in shock: "Wait, Doctor Bai, you..."

Bai Zhi suddenly stood up, ran to the window, and found that the sun was already setting, but there was still no sign of Chu Lu outside the window.

Then she turned back and shouted to the old woman, "Where is he? Is he back?"

"Ah? Doctor Bai, who are you talking about?" The old woman couldn't understand the scene in front of her and said in panic.

"Him! It's him! The one who threw the dead rat!" Bai Zhi shouted anxiously.

"Him?" The old woman looked puzzled. "I don't know. He hasn't been here. There's no one in the room. It seems he's gone."

"Gone? Gone?" Bai Zhi murmured to herself.

She seemed to have lost all her strength and suddenly sat down on the ground.

Then the corners of her mouth slowly curled up and her expression gradually became crazy.

"Ha, ha, ha ha ha ha ha!" She laughed hysterically, and the bloodshot in her eyes became more terrifying.

She screamed loudly, like a cuckoo crying blood: "Liar! All of them are liars! Damn liars! Liars who deserve to be cut into pieces!"

The sharp voice frightened the old woman so much that her face turned pale and she stepped back involuntarily.

But then Bai Zhi's voice gradually became lower. She lowered her head and sobbed, mumbling, "My son, mother is useless, mother is useless..."

The sound echoed in the clinic, as if layers of spider webs fell from the sky, binding Bai Zhi tightly.

At this moment, several people outside the clinic suddenly exclaimed and talked.

"What are they doing? Isn't that Shen Ruyue's army? Why is the leader changed?"

"What are they transporting?"

"Hiss~, it's corpses! So many corpses of children!"

"What a sin. This is."

"Wait, isn't that the son of the old Zhao family who disappeared a few days ago?"

"Ah, it's true! Quick, quick, quick! Go and call Lao Zhao over!"

The discussions outside became more and more trivial and chaotic, and Baizhi's crying stopped abruptly.

She raised her head and stared blankly at the window.

The next moment, as if she had finally reacted, she stood up abruptly and jumped out of the window without hesitation.
