Chapter 386: Setting Up the Poison Array
It just so happened that Pei Rumo had returned and there was a tail behind him . It was none other than Ying Lan who had shamelessly asked to bring Pei Rumo around .
"There is no need to accompany me any longer . . . " Pei Rumo was about to enter Bai Luochu's room but he saw that Ying Lan was still following him . He didn’t want the stranger to get close to Bai Luochu .
Pei Rumo had been gathering medicinal ingredients throughout the day and Ying Lan had seen everything he bought . He knew that Bai Luochu had requested for them as Pei Rumo wasn’t someone who knew how to use these ingredients . He also knew that Bai Luochu was probably thinking of setting up a poison array around her room . After hearing that Pei Rumo was chasing him away, he simply turned and left after cupping his hands as a sign of farewell .
When Pei Rumo entered the room, Bai Luochu completed her cultivation session .
"I have brought back the things you wanted . What do I have to do next?" Pei Rumo saw that Bai Luochu wasn't busy and he placed the ingredients into the cupboard beside her bed .
Bai Luochu felt around for the medicinal herbs and took a whiff carefully . After making sure that there weren't any problems, she handed the medicinal ingredients to Pei Rumo and said, "As I speak, place the ingredients according to my instructions . ”
When Pei Rmo completed the poison array, it was already late into the night . Bai Luochu wanted to chase him out but he asked out of curiosity, “What are you doing?"
Pei Rumo obviously didn't understand the reason behind Bai Luochu setting up a poison array around her room . In Pei Rumo's opinion, the only people who knew about the condition of her eyes were the people in the inn . Even if they took a step back and assumed that everyone else knew about her temporary blindness, they would be making a move on him, the Commander in Chief of the army .
Bai Luochu laughed and explained, "The poison array is for personal assurance . Since I am currently blind, more protection won’t hurt . I can’t possibly ask for help all the time . ”
Pei Rumo laughed and said, "If you need anything, get someone to look for me . I will be returning to my room . ”
There were differences between men and women . Even though Pei Rumo could use the excuse of taking care of Bai Luochu to stay in her room, others would gossip behind their back . He decided that it was better for them if he returned to his room .
Setting up the poison array for self-protection was just one of the reasons and it wasn't the most important one . Bai Luochu's true objective was to protect herself against Lu Wenshu . Based on Bai Luochu's understanding of Lu Wenshu, if he truly wanted to follow her, he would send someone to spy on her even if she didn’t want him to . She knew that he was already making his way to the inn .
Bai Luochu's conjecture was indeed correct . Just moments before, Lu Wenshu had already arrived in the inn .

After getting rejected by Bai Luochu, Lu Wenshu carried a stomach full of anger back to the sect's camp . He tried his best to play it off but realized that he couldn’t let go . He quickly grabbed a junior and ordered him to follow Bai Luochu and Pei Rumo .
"Someone wants to enter the ruins and we cannot allow them to do as they please . Keep an eye on them . Take extra care and pay more attention to the white-clothed person . ”
"Yes, this junior understands . Senior doesn't have to worry, this junior will head for the ruins immediately . " After getting the acknowledgement, Lu Wenshu waved his hand to dismiss his junior .
Afterwards, Lu Wenshu finally calmed down and started to cultivate peacefully .
After the junior acknowledged his orders, he headed straight for the ruins . It was clear that his abilities were superior to that of his fellow disciple whom Lu Wenshu sent previously . He wasn’t discovered by either Pei Rumo or Bai Luochu along the way .
He looked highly upon Bai Luochu as Lu Wenshu specifically pointed her out . He knew that she wasn’t an easy target but the next scene shocked him senseless .

The person that his senior asked him to observe had been blinded by the poison mist . After tailing them for a short distance, he quickly returned to make a report to Lu Wenshu .
The instant he entered Lu Wenshu’s room, he noticed a pool of fresh blood at the corner of the bed . Senior’s life is more important than a stupid report! Moreover, fresh blood was still flowing from the corners of Lu Wenshu’s mouth . “Senior, what happened to you?!”
"It doesn't matter . " Lu Wenshu waved his hand as an indication that he was fine . He then immediately asked, "Why are you back so quickly? Did something happen at the ruins?"
After hearing Lu Wenshu's question, his junior’s heart skipped a beat . He stammered, "Senior, the white-clothed lady possesses amazing skill . She was able to decipher many of the mechanisms in the ruins . However… she was . . . "
"What happened to her?" Lu Wenshu's right eyelid was jolting and he felt that something was off .
"In the end, the white-clothed lady was blinded by the final mechanism's poison mist . " The junior immediately took a step back after speaking . He had a feeling that his senior was extremely concerned for the white-clothed lady . If Lu Wenshu was enraged, he would be on the receiving end of Lu Wenshu’s anger .

Lu Wenshu revealed a worried face as he slowly closed his eyes . It seemed as though he had expected such an outcome .
Earlier on, when he was cultivating, he already felt ill at ease . Originally, he thought that he was merely angry because of Bai Luochu’s interaction with Pei Rumo, however, it seemed like he was wrong . He was feeling uneasy because something happened to Bai Luochu .
"No wonder . . . " Lu Wenshu muttered . No wonder I kept feeling that my qi was surging when I was cultivating . My qi nearly flowed in the opposite direction and I almost went berserk… Even though I suppressed it forcefully, it was still injured . Luckily for me, I only vomited a few mouthfuls of blood .
"Did you continue to follow them?" Lu Wenshu asked .
The junior silently heaved a sigh of relief and thought he had some foresight as he had indeed followed them back to the inn . "Of course I did . After I tracked them back to an inn, this junior didn’t continue so as to avoid detection . ”
"Which inn?"
"The one at the fork . The cleanest inn in the entire Desolate Region . "
