Chapter 371
Chapter 371: Nearly Exposed
Just as Lu Wenshu was thinking about what to do, his junior rushed over to look for him .
When Lu Wenshu felt a wave of spirit qi rushing at him, he immediately drew his sword and charged at his junior .
The instant he drew his sword, Bai Luochu felt that something was wrong . She turned to face the direction where Lu Wenshu was hiding and she yelled, “Who is there?!”
Lu Wenshu knew that things were going south . It slipped his mind that Bai Luochu’s spiritual energy was much stronger than the average person . A slight mistake was enough for her to detect his presence . Without a choice, Lu Wenshu grabbed his unsuspecting junior and threatened, "Behave yourself and shut your mouth . If she discovers us, I will push you out to take the blame . ”
Lu Wenshu quickly fell into a meditative state after he spoke . He behaved like an old man on the verge of death . Even though there were weak traces of spirit qi surrounding his body, it became undetectable . It was obvious that he was trying his best to hide his presence .
"What’s going on?" Pei Rumo's spiritual energy was far inferior to Bai Luochu’s and he was much weaker than Lu Wenshu . Even though Lu Wenshu released a wave of spirit qi, he wasn’t able to detect it .
Bai Luochu clenched her teeth and an ugly expression formed on her face, "I detected someone over there . " Bai Luochu pointed towards Lu Wenshu’s hiding spot .
The Desolate Region might be messy, but there were places where there was nothing but sand and dirt . The location Bai Luochu pointed out was suspicious and it was possible that there were experts hiding there .
Pei Rumo's expression changed drastically in response . He immediately held Bai Luochu's hand and walked towards the location she pointed out .
"I will go with you . If something happens, leave me and run . " Pei Rumo held onto Bai Luochu with one hand and he placed the other on his sword . It was obvious he was prepared for battle .
If they were able to avoid Bai Luochu’s detection, they weren’t useless cannon fodder . Also, it wasn’t possible for a group of people to hide from her . As such, Bai Luochu knew that they were facing an expert .
Bai Luochu originally wanted to pull her hand away but she decided against it . In fact, she had a guess as to who the person following them was . She knew that he was merely waiting for an opportunity to take action .

Pei Rumo was getting closer to Lu Wenshu and Bai Luochu became more certain that there was definitely someone following them . Just as they were about to expose his hiding spot, Bai Luochu stopped Pei Rumo, "Let's go, that person is already gone . "
Pei Rumo turned around and looked at Bai Luochu with a doubtful expression . He asked in disbelief, "Gone?"
Bai Luochu nodded, "The person must have concealed his presence and ran off . I can’t detect the presence of anyone in this area . With his abilities to stalk us unnoticed, he should have ran far away after exposing himself . ”
Pei Rumo felt much more relaxed after Bai Luochu’s reassurance . He held on to her hand and pulled her away .
When they were about to mount their horses, Bai Luochu asked, "Can you please let go of my hand now?"
Pei Rumo was startled by Bai Luochu's words . He held onto her in order to react quickly to danger . He didn’t expect that she would ask for his permission before retracting her hand . Since she had already mentioned it, Pei Rumo wasn’t shameless enough as to reject her idea .

He spoke with embarrassment, "I have been rude . Young Lady Luo Chu, please forgive me . "
Bai Luochu waved her hand as she didn't care about such trivial matters .
When they both of them finally left, a figure slowly showed himself .
Lu Wenshu closed his eyes and sighed heavily, "She knows . . . She did it on purpose . "
He wasn’t wrong . When he first released his spirit qi, he knew that Bai Luochu already discovered his presence . After spending such a long time together in her past life, Bai Luochu should be extremely familiar with Lu Wenshu’s spirit qi . It was the same reason he was able to recognize her even though her appearance was different .
As for the words 'on purpose', Lu Wenshu wasn't wrong either . Bai Luochu did it on purpose . She didn’t pull her hand away as she knew that Lu Wenshu’s state of mind would be affected after seeing her act intimate with Pei Rumo . That was the only way she could stimulate Lu Wenshu and force him to reveal himself .

She was right . Lu Wenshu wasn’t able to control the spirit qi leaking from his body and he exposed himself . Even though Pei Rumo wasn’t able to sense the fluctuations in the air, Bai Luochu felt it .
Only heaven knew that when Lu Wenshu saw Pei Rumo holding Bai Luochu's hand, the fire in his heart nearly caused him to succumb to his inner demons . If it wasn't for the fact that Lu Wenshu didn't wish to expose himself so early on, he would rush out to chop Pei Rumo's hand off . How dare he sully Ah Chu . . .
Bai Luochu had her own considerations for stopping at the last moment and not allowing Pei Rumo to expose Lu Wenshu . She needed to know his reasons for approaching her . If she were to tear off all pretense now, it would really restrict her future movements . Since she already knew the identity of the person following them, there was no need to expose him .
Lu Wenshu originally thought that even if he wasn’t able to tolerate that lecher, Pei Qingfeng from getting together with Bai Luochu, Pei Rumo would be a much better choice . From the looks of things now, it seemed as though Lu Wenshu wouldn’t be able to allow a member of the male species near her .
Now that Lu Wenshu had nowhere to vent his anger, he turned around and snarled at his junior, "You better have a reasonable explanation for approaching me . Otherwise, I won’t allow you to leave the Desolate Region alive . ”
The junior's knees went soft after hearing Lu Wenshu’s threat and he nearly fell to his kenns . He hastily composed himself and he reported, "Senior, it seems like someone has their eyes on us!"
