Chapter 409: Secretly Hurt
After Pei Rumo was chased away, he jumped onto his horse and went straight for the lakeside he brought her to before they left for the ruins .
When he arrived, Pei Rumo stood there silently as he stared into space . It was as though he turned into part of the scenery as a desolate back stood silently in the middle of the Desolate Region . If not for his eye-catching black clothes being in contrast with the dull yellow sand in the Desolate Region, no one would think that he came from outside the region .
Even though Pei Rumo looked calm on the surface, waves as high as the heavens were raging about in his heart . “Is there really no place for me in her heart?”
Pei Rumo closed his eyes, concealing the pain welling up inside of him . It was clear that he was devastated when he heard that Bai Luochu chose Pei Qingfeng over him .
However, he knew that they both couldn’t be blamed for her actions . Back then, he was adamant about using her as a weapon to deal with Pei Wuchen . To achieve his goal, he ignored her feelings and their relationship became one built on mutual benefits . Afterwards, he unknowingly fell in love with Bai Luochu . No matter who it was, it would be difficult for them to accept such a drastic change in treatment . Of course, the once hurt Bai Luochu would never believe that Pei Rumo was treating her nicely out of true love . It was already incredible that she didn’t distance herself from him .
“Luo Chu, I regret my actions . . . I regret it so much . I regret making use of you at the start to achieve my goal . If I could go back in time… none of them will get the chance to confess to you before me… ” Pei Rumo mumbled to himself as he looked at the scenery in front of him .
Alas, not even the unrivaled Divine Physician Bai could refine a pill for regret . It was impossible for time to rewind for him either . Taking a step back, if Pei Rumo didn’t harbor the intentions of making use of her, Pei Qingfeng wouldn’t have found the chance to step in . After all, he was the first one to save her from the Bestial Battle Arena .

Am I really inferior to Pei Qingfeng?!
He indeed possessed a colder personality when compared to Pei Qingfeng . However, it was because he had yet to realize his feelings for her . Now that he had discovered his love for her, his personality underwent a great change .
Was it because of his appearance? The Cloud Water Nation’s Third Prince, Pei Wuchen, treated girls gently . With his identity as an imperial prince and the last disciple of the Phoenix King Valley Master, he gained the adoration of many young ladies in the capital . As for Pei Qingfeng, he had outstanding looks . He treated everyone with respect and he had been the dream lover of many young ladies in the capital city .
As for himself… He knew that his character wasn’t as good as Pei Wuchen who was able to draw people to his side easily . Even though he gained a tough image for fighting in so many wars, only a tiny group of people appreciated his manliness . With the giant scar on his face, his appearance could be said to be worse than Pei Wuchen and Pei Qingfeng . The only advantage he had over them was his achievements in the imperial court .

Pei Rumo let out a deep sigh . He was sure that out of the three of them, he was the person who had the least chance of success . Even though Bai Luochu was betrothed to Pei Wuchen, no one knew if he would develop feelings for her one day .
Pei Rumo arrived before the lake and looked at his reflection in it . If not for the scar on his face, his appearance wouldn’t lose out to his brothers in the slightest . He started to mumble softly, “Are looks so important?” Previously, Pei Rumo felt proud of the battlescar on his face . Now, he was starting to doubt himself . He wondered if he should apply some scar removing elixir on his face .
Pei Rumo shook his head and lightly laughed, “I must be going crazy… Why am I thinking about using those goods only imperial concubines would use? Forget it . If she doesn’t choose me in the end, there is nothing I can do . I shouldn’t change myself and hide my true personality . ”

If she wasn’t able to accept this part of him, their relationship was bound to fail in the long run .
Bai Luochu continued to cultivate when Pei Rumo had left . She was consolidating her cultivation base to ensure the stability of her foundation . She improved too rapidly in the past few months and even though she wasn’t considered a genius in this life, it was undeniable that she only started cultivating recently . Her cultivation reached such a level after a few months of training and many people were definitely waiting to see her embarrass herself . The only thing she could do was to become strong enough to slap those people in the face .
Pei Qingfeng was starting to get bored and he reached over to start making a list of things he should do .
Bai Luochu stopped cultivating after the sun dipped past the horizon . By this time, Pei Qingfeng had filled up two entire pages of notes . Only after double checking and making sure that he hadn’t missed out anything did he place down his brush . He waited for Bai Luochu to call for him .
