Chapter 1280: Chapter 1273: Honey, I’m Sorry—I Broke My Promise

At this moment, Lu Tianxing looked extremely disheveled, his entire body almost dyed red with blood. His chest, abdomen, and arms were covered with dense wounds, some so deep that the stark white bones were visible. The blood had stained the upper half of Lu Tianxing’s body red, making him look like a blood-soaked figure at first glance.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Tianxing seemed oblivious to the pain, as True Qi surged through his body, sealing his wounds to prevent further bleeding.

“Lu Tianxing.”

Witnessing this scene, Bai Zhiqing could no longer contain the worry in her heart and rushed to Lu Tianxing’s side.

“Lu Tianxing, how are you? You must leave now. Don’t worry about me, just go, I beg you…”

Bai Zhiqing ran to Lu Tianxing’s side, paying no heed to his blood-covered appearance, and hurriedly supported the staggering Lu Tianxing, unable to hide the worry on her face.

Po Jun, Tan Lang, and others, seeing this scene, immediately halted their steps, refraining from approaching Lu Tianxing. Instead, they silently stood not far from him, their eyes fixed keenly like eagles on Shankou Hongyi and the white elder, eyes glinting with a crimson glow as if they were beasts about to rampage.

Looking at that anxious and pale beautiful face, Lu Tianxing forced a smile: “Honey, don’t worry, I’m fine, they can’t kill me. Moreover, you should stay in the car and don’t get out. If the aftermath of the fight accidentally reaches you, I’ll be heartbroken.”

The words, though said gently, overflowed with unmistakable care.

Bai Zhiqing’s heart trembled violently, and crystalline tears involuntarily slid down her cheeks. She never expected that, even in such a situation, this man still worried not about his own safety, but whether she might get hurt.

In that moment, Bai Zhiqing was utterly captivated. She realized that she was entirely inseparable from Lu Tianxing, belonging to him for life.

“Lu Tianxing, why, why are you so good to me…?”

Bai Zhiqing’s voice trembled, gazing at Lu Tianxing’s caring eyes, her heart pierced with a sharp pang of pain.

Suddenly, Bai Zhiqing found herself hating her own helplessness, why she could only hide on the side, unable to help Lu Tianxing. Why she was a burden, and why she hadn’t insisted on Lu Tianxing leaving New York initially.

If she had insisted that Lu Tianxing leave New York back then, perhaps he wouldn’t have been injured, wouldn’t have ended up like this.

“You’re my wife. Whoever else would I be good to in this life, if not you? Also, why are you crying? Don’t cry. These small wounds are nothing. Besides, these are like medals of honor for a man, a man’s medal for protecting his wife. Be good, don’t cry, go back to the car and stay.”

Lu Tianxing lifted a hand, gently wiping the tears from Bai Zhiqing’s cheeks, his tone more tender than ever.

“I won’t cry, I won’t cry.”

Bai Zhiqing shook her head lightly, yet the tears stubbornly flowed from her eyes.

“Hmm, good girl, don’t cry.”

Lu Tianxing smiled lightly, his gaze sweeping sharply to the side, landing on Po Jun: “Po Jun, Tan Lang, do you still consider me your leader?”

“Of course.”

Though surprised why Lu Tianxing was saying this, Tan Lang and the others nodded heavily. If Lu Tianxing wasn’t their leader, they would have already fled and wouldn’t be taking such risks.

“As long as you still consider me your leader.”

Lu Tianxing took a deep breath and said heavily, “Then I’m giving you one last order. Take your sister-in-law and leave New York immediately. I’ve already arranged with Little Bee to give you a coordinate. Take your sister-in-law there, and there will be a helicopter waiting for you.”

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, not only did Tan Lang, Po Jun, and others’ expressions change, but even Mu Qingchuan’s expression grew complicated. Lu Tianxing clearly intended to risk it all, sacrificing himself to shield them from these formidable opponents.

“Boss, we’re not leaving…”

Evil Ghost and others hadn’t finished speaking when Lu Tianxing interrupted, “Shut up, all of you, leave now with your sister-in-law, don’t take me as your leader otherwise.”

As he finished, Lu Tianxing looked at Mu Qingchuan, took a deep breath, and said, “Mu Qingchuan, I, Lu Tianxing, owe you this time, and I’m afraid I can’t repay it in this life. If there’s a next life, I’ll repay you then.”

“You owe me nothing,” Mu Qingchuan said with a complex expression and a hint of envy as he looked at Lu Tianxing. He couldn’t have imagined Lu Tianxing would have a woman who loves him so much and a group of comrades ready to die for him.

At that moment, Mu Qingchuan finally understood why his sister liked Lu Tianxing so much. Indeed, Lu Tianxing was a man of charm, a man who could put his life on the line for his woman and brothers—a man few women wouldn’t be moved by.

Lu Tianxing glanced at Mu Qingchuan, then turned his gaze to Bai Zhiqing, his face gentle as he said, “Wife, I’m sorry. I broke my promise. I probably can’t walk this life with you anymore, nor can I stand in front of you to protect you. Please be careful in the future, take good care of yourself, don’t let anything happen, okay?”

“Lu Tianxing, you…”

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Bai Zhiqing felt her heart pierced as if by a needle. She instinctively wanted to say something, but Lu Tianxing interrupted, “Wife, I know what you want to say, but you have to leave, no matter what. I’m sorry, I broke my promise. If there’s a next life, I want to say three words to you again, ‘I love you.’”

As he spoke, Lu Tianxing stood upright, swaying, lowered his head to place a gentle kiss on Bai Zhiqing’s head, his expression turning icy as he pushed Bai Zhiqing away and shouted sternly, “Tan Lang, take your sister-in-law and leave now, hurry, I can’t hold them off for long.”

“No…”

Watching Lu Tianxing push her away, Bai Zhiqing stood stunned for a moment, then rushed towards Lu Tianxing frantically, shouting, “I won’t leave. Lu Tianxing, you bastard, you liar, do you just want to abandon your wife? I won’t leave, I’ll always remember what you said, ‘Holding your hand, growing old with you,’ even in death, I will stay by your side. For fear that you’ll be lonely on the etherworld road, I want to go with you, so even in the next life, we’ll still be together.”

At this moment, Bai Zhiqing’s face was filled with determination and stubbornness, clutching tightly onto Lu Tianxing’s waist, refusing to let him push her away.
