Chapter 1413: Chapter 1406: I Don’t Regret It

”Then I’ll thank Old Master Zhou.”

Lu Tianxing hesitated for a moment but didn’t refuse Old Master Zhou’s offer. He had too many enemies now, and there was no guarantee that today’s incident wouldn’t happen again. If someone were to use the diversion tactic on him, Bai Zhiqing could easily be in danger. Having someone from the Zhou Family nearby could serve as an extra layer of protection, and even if danger arose, it could buy him some time until he arrived, preventing him from being as passive as he was today.

Hearing Lu Tianxing agree, Old Master Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This indicated that Lu Tianxing already considered the Zhou Family as his own.

Just as Lu Tianxing and Old Master Zhou were talking, Mu Qingchuan had walked over to Mu Qingxue’s side, nodded slightly at Bai Zhiqing, and said to Mu Qingxue, ”Qingxue, it’s getting late. Let’s return to the hotel to rest.”

”Okay.”

Mu Qingxue nodded lightly and said to Bai Zhiqing, ”Sister Zhiqing, I’ll go back with my brother first.”

”Okay, be careful on the road.”

Bai Zhiqing nodded gently and said to Mu Qingxue, ”I’ll wait for you tonight.”

Mu Qingxue nodded to Bai Zhiqing, her gaze filled with a hint of reluctance as she turned to walk towards the BMW behind her, sitting in the front passenger seat.

Once Mu Qingxue got into the car, Mu Qingchuan didn’t linger. He turned the steering wheel, and the car drove off in another direction.

In the BMW, Mu Qingxue sat in the front passenger seat, legs curled on the seat, arms hugging her knees. She looked like a helpless little kitten, eyes red, biting her lip, lightly trembling. Crystal tears slid down her cheeks, evoking a sense of pity.

”Ah, Qingxue, why put yourself through this! I’ve told you long ago to give up this feeling. Why didn’t you listen? You see what it’s come to now... ah...” Seeing Mu Qingxue’s look, Mu Qingchuan sighed.

Hearing Mu Qingchuan’s words, Mu Qingxue spoke in a hoarse voice, ”I know, but brother, I really can’t let him go. Do you know? When I saw him injured, my heart wrenched in pain, feeling as if I were experiencing it too. I don’t care if he holds me in his heart; as long as he is safe and happy, that’s enough for me. Even if he doesn’t think of me, as long as he remembers my name, Mu Qingxue, I’m content.”

Mu Qingchuan sighed softly at Mu Qingxue’s words, looking helpless, ”Qingxue, why do this? He just sees you as a friend. Being so persistent will only bring you more pain.”

”Brother, I know, but I don’t regret it.”

Mu Qingxue wiped away the tears on her face, her stubborn demeanor evident. She knew she was perhaps just being wishful, but she didn’t regret what she had done.

”You...”

Hearing Mu Qingxue’s words, a surge of anger rose in Mu Qingchuan’s heart. He wanted to say something, but seeing Mu Qingxue’s heartbroken look, the anger vanished without a trace, and he sighed, ”Qingxue, you really can’t go on like this. You’ll ruin yourself. Do you understand?”

”Brother, I know you care about me. I’m not as fragile as you think. Brother, when I marry into the Tang Family, I’ll leave Tianxing’s safety to you. I hope you can protect him from any harm. Otherwise, even if I die, I won’t rest in peace.”

Hearing Mu Qingxue’s words, Mu Qingchuan was slightly stunned. For some reason, a bad feeling suddenly surged in his heart, but he couldn’t pinpoint it.

”Qingxue, don’t do anything foolish. If something happens, talk to me. I promise to help you.”

Mu Qingchuan looked at Mu Qingxue seriously.

”Brother, why would I do anything foolish! You’re overthinking it.”

Mu Qingxue looked at Mu Qingchuan, a stunning smile emerging on her face, making her look even more captivating, evoking a sense of sympathy.

After Lu Tianxing allowed Old Master Zhou to take away the sinister man, he turned his head to watch the BMW leaving, sighing inwardly. He knew he had probably hurt Mu Qingxue’s heart again, even though it wasn’t his intention, but it was unavoidable.

He truly didn’t know how to face Mu Qingxue. Everything she did for him, her love, he saw and understood clearly. But he didn’t dare to accept Mu Qingxue because he knew that once he did, she would be caught between love and family. At that point, it would be even more painful, and she could be drawn into his turmoil, possibly facing life-threatening danger, which he didn’t want to see.

”Qingxue is gone.”

Bai Zhiqing, having come to Lu Tianxing’s side without him noticing, spoke softly.

”It’s good she left. She’s not suited to get involved in this Jiangnan turmoil. This isn’t her world.”

Lu Tianxing looked at Bai Zhiqing, exhaling slowly, suppressing all his thoughts deep within, and said, ”Wife, let’s go. We’ll pick up Manman at Guanqian Street and call Lin Demon. Since these guys can’t hold back, we don’t need to be polite. Let’s cripple their hand first.”

”Okay.”

Bai Zhiqing gently nodded, looking at Lu Tianxing with a complex gaze. She reached out, embracing his blood-stained arm without hesitation, as if only in this way could she feel that Lu Tianxing belonged to her, gaining a sense of security.

...

In this world, from ancient times to the present, the truth has always been in the hands of a few.

For ordinary people, the incident on Guanqian Street was destined to be something they could never know; they’d only hear fragmented parts of a major event, never comprehending why it happened.

Under the manipulation of those in power, the events on Guanqian Street were suppressed in a very short time, with no information leaking out, not even a trace online.

Ordinary people might remain oblivious, but for the powerful and influential in high society, this was a harbinger of an impending storm. Even as the warm sun shone down on them, they felt cold inside, clearly understanding that in a few days, Jiangnan might undergo a drastic transformation, threatening the survival of many families.

This was particularly terrifying for families plotting against Lu Tianxing. Upon hearing the news, they were fear-stricken to the extreme. Lu Tianxing’s strength was even more terrifying than when he first entered Jiangnan. Being a middle-stage Mythical at just over twenty years old, it was almost certain he would advance to the late stage of Mythical, and possibly reach the invincible level of Earthly Immortal. Offending such a monstrous talent, if he survived, it would be a devastating blow to a family.

As the news spread, everyone felt suffocated. They were unsure if they could withstand a middle-stage Mythical, let alone if Lu Tianxing broke through to the late stage or Earthly Immortal, they would be on the verge of extinction.

Meanwhile, in Suzhou, there was a hidden villa by the water and hills.

Yang Tiansi was sitting on a sofa, holding a cigarette between his fingers, looking extremely at ease.

”Ring, ring!”

Suddenly, the phone on the coffee table rang.

Hearing the ringtone, Yang Tiansi immediately picked up the phone. Upon seeing the caller ID, doubt briefly flashed across his face, but he answered without hesitation.

No sooner had Yang Tiansi opened his mouth than a panicked voice on the line said, ”Young Master, something major happened. Five Poison Child and his group are all dead, Chang Sungsong and Elder Wang Yang are dead too, and Bai Zhiqing was rescued by Lu Tianxing. Our kidnapping failed.”

”What did you say?”

Upon hearing this, Yang Tiansi’s expression drastically changed. He kicked away the woman at his feet, stood sharply from the sofa, his entire aura turning cold: ”What happened? Why did it fail? Didn’t you say the plan was successful before?”

”It was Mu Qingchuan. Somehow, he came to Suzhou and intercepted the Bat’s car, saving Bai Zhiqing. Five Poison Child died at Lu Tianxing’s hands, Rashamon was killed by Mu Qingchuan. Young Master, our plan failed, and the Bat survived, taken by the Zhou Family. What do we do now...”
