Chapter 43 - 43 43 I Forgive You_1

43: Chapter 43 I Forgive You_1 43: Chapter 43 I Forgive You_1 Lu Chuan’s breathing became heavy all at once, and his heartbeat reached an extreme.

Worried that things were spiraling out of control, he didn’t dare go along with Mu Nanqing any longer and quickly said, “Sister-in-law… sister-in-law, I’m Xiaochuan, please let me go.”

Mu Nanqing made a shushing gesture, lay on top of Lu Chuan, got close to his ear, and softly said, “A moment in spring is worth a thousand gold, don’t delay.”

After finishing her words, she directly kissed Lu Chuan, passionately and intensely as if intoxicated.

Lu Chuan’s eyes bulged roundly, his mind went blank, with only the sensation of that moist touch remaining in his awareness.

The desire in his heart was aroused, and a little voice in his mind kept urging, “Possess her!

She’s yours tonight!”

He couldn’t help but extend his arms to embrace Mu Nanqing, responding to her.

The two were entangled for a long time.

Lu Chuan turned over and pressed Mu Nanqing beneath him.

Mu Nanqing’s eyes were filled with haziness, anticipation, and longing.

Lu Chuan reached out to undo Mu Nanqing’s buttons.

The sound of a fire truck whistled by outside the window.

Lu Chuan came to his senses somewhat.

He looked at Mu Nanqing, who he had pinned down on the bed, raised his hand, and slapped himself hard across the face.

“What am I doing!”

Mu Nanqing looked puzzled and eager, tugging at Lu Chuan’s hand.

Lu Chuan quickly circulated his Spiritual Power and touched Mu Nanqing’s forehead with his finger.

Mu Nanqing immediately closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Lu Chuan hurriedly got out of the bed, covered Mu Nanqing with the quilt, and quickly left the room.

He went to the bathroom and washed his face with cold water, gradually suppressing the impulse raging within his body.

“Sister-in-law must have mistaken me for my brother.

I almost caused a huge disaster.”

Looking at himself in the mirror, Lu Chuan couldn’t help but show a bitter smile.

He then went to the living room, sat on the couch, and prayed internally that Mu Nanqing would forget all about what had happened when she woke up the next day.

“The four individuals who attacked tonight definitely do not come from simple backgrounds.

I need to figure out who they are, otherwise, the trouble will be endless.”

He took out his phone and began searching for information related to the martial arts world of Cloud City.

After a long search, he finally saw the four individuals in a news report.

“Explosive!

Four genius martial artists of Supreme Path Martial Arts Hall won the first place in the team event at the Jiangbei Province Martial Arts Competition!

The hall master, Cao Xiong, hosts a banquet to entertain heroes from all walks of the martial world!”

In the photograph below, it was indeed the four individuals who had clashed with Lu Chuan tonight!

Lu Chuan hurriedly searched for more information about Supreme Path Martial Arts Hall and Cao Xiong.

Supreme Path Martial Arts Hall was ranked among the top three martial halls in Cloud City.

This was not surprising to Lu Chuan at all since only an institution with a solid foundation could cultivate four talents at Inner Force Stage 9.

But when he saw the introduction of Cao Xiong, he immediately panicked.

Cao Xiong, one of the top ten masters of Cloud City, once served under Long Tianya before setting out on his own to establish Supreme Path Martial Arts Hall, and now still serves as Long Tianya’s right-hand man.

“One of the top ten masters of Cloud City, Long Tianya’s right-hand man!” Lu Chuan subconsciously clenched his fists.

“There’s not a single good man under Long Tianya.

The so-called number one master of Cloud City has taught such disciples who would commit these acts; they are truly a cancer of Cloud City!”

He cursed under his breath, stood up, and paced back and forth, his brow deeply furrowed with anxiety.

Being among the top ten masters of Cloud City, Cao Xiong’s abilities must be extraordinary, and the current Lu Chuan might not be able to handle him yet.

“What should I do?”

Cold sweat crept onto his forehead.

After a long while, Lu Chuan slumped onto the couch, letting out a long breath.

“At this point, there’s no choice but to face the music when it comes.”

Without thinking further, he returned to his room and began refining the amethyst.

Even if the sky were about to fall, improving his strength was the top priority, because only with stronger abilities would he have the chance to support the sky.

…

The next morning.

Lu Chuan walked out of his room, somewhat tired.

He glanced at Mu Nanqing’s room hesitantly and then walked over.

“I wonder if sister-in-law is awake.”

As he approached the doorway, sounds of crying came through.

Lu Chuan’s brow furrowed, and he quickly pushed the door open and entered.

Mu Nanqing’s eyes were red and swollen, as she continuously wiped away her tears.

Two suitcases lay on the ground; all the belongings that were Mu Nanqing’s had vanished.

Lu Chuan hastily asked, “Sister-in-law, why are you crying?”

Seeing Lu Chuan enter, Mu Nanqing quickly squeezed out a smile and said, “I’m fine, I’m just so happy that Xiaochuan found a girlfriend.”

Lu Chuan, feeling helpless, thought to himself that his sister-in-law was just too good to him.

She must have been worried that he wouldn’t dare to date again because of Qin Lan.

Seeing him with a girlfriend now, she must be so emotional.

But this girlfriend is fake!

“Sister-in-law, actually…”

Mu Nanqing stood up, picked up the two suitcases, and started walking towards the door.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan quickly stopped her, “Sister-in-law, what are you doing?”

Mu Nanqing shook her head with a smile, “Xiaochuan, you have a girlfriend now, it’s not appropriate for me to stay here anymore.

I’ve received the back pay I was owed, so I can afford to rent a place to live.

You have to treat that girl well in the future, she’s so beautiful, you mustn’t bully her.”

Lu Chuan was somewhat anxious, “Sister-in-law, Ning Xin isn’t my girlfriend, there’s no need for you to move out!”

Mu Nanqing smiled and said, “Silly boy, there’s no need to lie to me.

You can tell that girl likes you just by looking at her.

It’d be strange if she wasn’t your girlfriend.

It’s fine for me to live elsewhere.”

Lu Chuan immediately explained to her about Ning Xin asking him to pretend to be her boyfriend.

After listening, Mu Nanqing was completely stunned, “Is…

is that really the case?”

Lu Chuan nodded earnestly, “Absolutely true, I don’t have a girlfriend and you don’t need to move out.”

An embarrassed flush immediately appeared on Mu Nanqing’s face.

It turned out she had been overthinking everything!

She suddenly felt too ashamed to show her face, but on the inside, she felt quite relieved.

“Xiaochuan, your…

your sister-in-law has made you the laughing-stock.”

Lu Chuan said with a smile, “How could that be?

I know sister-in-law is just concerned about me, how could I laugh at you?”

He set down Mu Nanqing’s two suitcases, “Sister-in-law, please just stay here in peace.

You can’t talk about moving out again.”

Mu Nanqing nodded meekly, “Okay…”

Lu Chuan took out the amethyst pendant, “Sister-in-law, I apologize for what I said to you that day.

I won’t ever say that you should find someone new again.

I hope you can forgive me; this is the gift I’ve prepared as an apology.”

Mu Nanqing’s face was full of surprise when she saw the amethyst pendant, “So beautiful!”

She looked at Lu Chuan somewhat shyly, “Is it really for me?”

Lu Chuan nodded, “Of course, sister-in-law, please forgive me.”

Mu Nanqing lowered her head, revealing a sweet smile, “Okay, I forgive you.”

Lu Chuan felt immediately relieved and said with a smile, “Sister-in-law, let me put it on for you.”

Mu Nanqing nodded, then turned around.

Lu Chuan placed the amethyst pendant around Mu Nanqing’s neck.

Mu Nanqing turned around with anticipation, asking, “Does it look good?”

Lu Chuan looked down and suddenly said with some embarrassment, “I…

I can’t see it.”

The cord he used to string the amethyst pendant was a bit long, and after Mu Nanqing put it on, the pendant was hidden in the depths of her cleavage.

Mu Nanqing looked down and her face reddened, “As long as it’s from Xiaochuan, it’s beautiful.”

Lu Chuan scratched his head awkwardly, then suddenly remembered something and asked, “Sister-in-law, do you remember what happened last night?”

Mu Nanqing thought for a moment and said, “I don’t remember, I only recall drinking a lot of alcohol, and when I woke up, I was already at home.

Did something happen last night?”

Lu Chuan quickly said, “Nothing, nothing, you drank too much and called me, so I went to bring you back.”

He didn’t want Mu Nanqing to worry about what had happened with those four beasts from the Supreme Path Martial Arts Hall.

Mu Nanqing smiled and said, “Xiaochuan, you’re so kind.

I’ll go cook breakfast for you!”

Soon after, she hummed a tune and went into the kitchen.

Lu Chuan looked puzzled, “Why do I feel like sister-in-law is even happier knowing I don’t have a girlfriend?”

He didn’t think too much of it—after all, the matter with the Supreme Path Martial Arts Hall was a more pressing concern.

After breakfast, Mu Nanqing put on her makeup and went to work.

Lu Chuan sat on the sofa, worry etched on his features, as he pondered his next move.

“With the influence of the Supreme Path Martial Arts Hall, finding out my identity should be easy for them, and they could come looking for me at any time.

If Cao Xiong makes a move, I will surely be doomed.”

“I just hope Cao Xiong is a reasonable person; that way, I might still have a chance.”

He took out the amethyst again and began refining it.

Three in the afternoon.

Lu Chuan set down the half-refined amethyst.

He began cultivating, inhaling and exhaling spiritual energy.

Not long after, there was a knock at the door.

His eyes snapped open and his demeanor instantly tensed.

After a moment’s hesitation, he still got up and walked toward the door, his spiritual power circulating, ready for a fight to the death.

Upon opening the door, he saw a group of young men wearing practice uniforms emblazoned with the logo of the Supreme Path Martial Arts Hall.

Lu Chuan’s pupils narrowed—it was indeed people from the Supreme Path Martial Arts Hall!

He feigned calm and asked, “What do you want?”

The leader among them took out a photo, which had the faces of the four men from last night on it.

“These four are our senior brothers, and last night they all had their arms broken.

Was it your doing?”

Lu Chuan squinted his eyes, not intending to hide anything, “Yes, it was me.

Are you here for revenge?”

To his astonishment, the leader took out a brocade box, bent down respectfully, and handed it over with both hands, saying, “Master says our four senior brothers couldn’t control their depraved thoughts, and having their arms broken is what they deserved.”

“He will host a banquet tonight at the martial hall specifically to apologize to you.

We came to invite you.”

“This is a medicinal herb that’s been aged for fifty years, consider it an apology.”

Lu Chuan was taken aback, his face showing surprise.

He had thought these people would come to attack him, but they were, in fact, there to apologize.

It seemed that Cao Xiong was not a person who couldn’t tell right from wrong.

After a moment’s thought, he took the brocade box and said, “Please convey my thanks to your master.

I will come tonight.”

The group immediately bowed and then left.

Lu Chuan let out a sigh of relief, feeling more at ease.

Looking at the brocade box in his hand, he murmured, “There are still more good people in this world, it seems I thought too badly of them.”
