Chapter 329: An Old Friend’s Dagger

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In just a short while, the dagger brushed past Chu Luo’s arm.

A trail of blood was sent flying. Chu Luo glanced at the blood-stained sleeve on her arm and a murderous glint flashed across her eyes.

She strummed the Phoenix Zither, and the sound turned into a sharp blade that shot towards Ulan.

Ulan quickly dodged and couldn’t enter Chu Luo at all.

The hall trembled because of the powerful sound waves. Ten minutes later, Chu Luo put away her Phoenix Zither and flew over to grab the wrist of the dagger that Ulan was holding. She looked up at the Ten Kings of h.e.l.l and said, “Do you still want to watch the show? You should take this person away.”

After saying that, she exerted strength in her hand. Instantly, Ulan’s face contorted in pain. She loosened her grip on the dagger and it fell to the ground.

Chu Luo caught the dagger and was about to put it away.

However, an unusually serious voice rang in her mind. “There are countless souls in this dagger. Leave them behind.”

Chu Luo glanced at the Ten Kings of h.e.l.l and frowned. “This is the dagger of an old friend of mine. Why should I leave it behind?”

With that, she turned to leave.

But at this moment, a burning sound came from behind.

The voice sounded again. “Leave the dagger behind, or we’ll take that man outside.”

“How dare you!” Chu Luo raised her voice, her tone filled with powerful killing intent. Then, she threw the dagger in her hand forward. The dagger stopped one meter away from the Ten Kings of h.e.l.l and floated in the air.

In the next second, the sound of burning could be heard from the hall. Ulan’s twisted expression became even more twisted as she screamed in pain.

“Ah…”

Chu Luo glanced at Ulan, who was holding her head and rolling on the ground screaming. Her body shook and she disappeared from this s.p.a.ce.

In the next second, Chu Luo appeared in reality.

The black aura in the courtyard had disappeared and the thin whip in Li Yan’s hand was still dripping with blood. At this moment, he looked like a crouching devil as he stood there and looked coldly at Song Ci, who was lying on the ground and twitching.

When Li Yan saw Chu Luo appear, the murderous aura on him immediately disappeared. In the next moment, his expression hardened and he quickly walked up to Chu Luo. He lifted her arm and asked with a dark expression, “Why is your arm injured?”

After saying that, he carefully lifted her sleeve. When he saw the b.l.o.o.d.y mark on her fair arm, his aura became even colder.

“That woman has a dagger of an old friend of mine. That dagger is an ancient divine artifact that can pierce through my defense barrier.”

At this point, Chu Luo raised her chin and smiled at him. “Don’t worry. That dagger can’t hurt me. At most, it’ll only make me bleed a little.”

Li Yan kept his eyes on her small wound. After a few seconds, he asked, “Is there any medicine?”

“Yes.”

Chu Luo used her other hand to take out a bottle of medicine from her Heaven-and-Earth pouch.

After Li Yan took it, he said, “Gauze.”

Chu Luo took out the gauze again and watched him bandage her seriously. She couldn’t help but smile.

“Done.”

“Mm.”

Chu Luo looked at the half-alive Song Ci and asked Li Yan, “What about him?”

After all, this person was here for the Imperial University compet.i.tion and had to stay at Imperial University tonight. If anything happened, Imperial University would be affected.

Li Yan glanced at Song Ci and said coldly, “Let the boss handle it later.”

“Him?”

“He won’t leave any traces behind.”

Chu Luo nodded and rolled down her sleeve. She took out an Invisibility Talisman and made Song Ci invisible.

At this moment, w.a.n.g Mingtao and the others walked out of the backyard.

As w.a.n.g Mingtao walked, he asked, “Teacher Wu, are you sure you didn’t wear it? Or did we miss out on some places just now?”

“No, I forgot I didn’t wear it earlier. Thank you for helping me look for it for so long.”

“Haha, you’re welcome.”

When they came out, Wu Yiyao quietly looked around before looking at Chu Luo.

Chu Luo nodded at her.

Wu Yiyao was relieved.

Everyone walked out of the door. As they walked, w.a.n.g Mingtao complained, “Sister Chu, you have no idea. When we went in to look for the earrings, Boss Xiong actually stood there and watched the commotion. He didn’t even think of helping.”

As they spoke, they walked out of the door.

The moment they left, the door closed automatically.

At that moment, Boss Xiong walked out of the backyard. He walked over and took off the talismans on Song Ci. Looking at the battered and unconscious Song Ci, he extended his arms and lifted him up to carry him on his shoulder.

At this moment, he heard footsteps coming from the back garden.

Boss Xiong turned to look at the white-dressed woman standing there and said to her, “Go rest first. I’ll be back shortly.”

The woman’s expression was also very cold. She asked, “Where are you sending him?”

“To where he needs to be sent.”

With that, he walked to the door and it opened automatically. As Boss Xiong crossed the door, he stopped and turned to the woman who had been looking at him. “If you’re tired, sleep early. Don’t wait for me.”

The woman nodded at him and Boss Xiong left.

…

After sending the group back to school, Chu Luo and Li Yan returned to their villa.

The moment Chu Luo entered, she strode upstairs and said to Li Yan, “I’ll take a shower first. I’ll go take a look at the research lab later.”

“Okay.”

Li Yan didn’t follow her but walked to the sofa and sat down.

When Chu Luo came downstairs after showering, she realized that Qin Ming and Secretary Tan were both there.

At this moment, Qin Ming happened to say, “Princess Anya will come to the empire tomorrow.”

When Chu Luo heard this, she asked first, “Why is she here?”

Qin Ming replied, “I don’t know.”

Chu Luo didn’t ask further. Knowing that Li Yan had something important to attend to, she went straight to the villa behind.

It was already past nine. When Chu Luo entered, Professor Tang and the others were about to go back and rest.

The three of them had just walked into the courtyard. When they saw Chu Luo, Elder Hu asked, “Little Chu, why are you here at this time?”

Chu Luo walked closer to the three of them. “I just came back and wanted to take a look.”

“Haha, you came at the right time. I thought that if you didn’t appear, I would go to your place to look for you tomorrow morning.”

“Why is Grandpa Hu looking for me?”

“To ask you to take a look at our herbs. They’ve all grown.”

As Elder Hu spoke, the smile on his face deepened. He walked towards the backyard first.

Chu Luo and the other two followed.

Elder Hu pointed at a large patch of herbs as if he was pointing at mountains and rivers. He said happily, “These herbs can all be used for our research. Little Chu, if you don’t have anything on, we’ll stay in the laboratory for the next few days.”

Chu Luo thought for a while and nodded. “Sure, but we have to wait for two days. I have something to deal with next.”

“Okay, deal with the important things first.”

“Mm.”

The few of them talked for a while before Elder Hu and the others went back to rest. Chu Luo went to the research lab to finish reading their research records for the past few days before returning to the villa in front.

Qin Ming and Secretary Tan had already left, leaving Li Yan alone on the sofa, typing on his computer as he waited for her.

When Li Yan saw Chu Luo enter, he put away his laptop and stood up to walk up to her. “Something will happen tonight.”

Chu Luo nodded.

The two of them walked upstairs.

Upstairs, Li Yan went to take a shower. Chu Luo took a laptop and sat on the bed, quickly attacking the company that specialized in defaming people. She originally wanted to blow up their nest, but she realized that they had already written negative comments about her and Li Yan being together.

Chu Luo looked at the comments one by one and became angrier.

In the end, she curled her lips. “The Qin family really doesn’t leave any room for negotiation.”

After saying that, she didn’t hurry to move. Instead, she put her laptop aside and logged into the game.

At this moment, Xie Minghai, Yu Lei, and Xu Qingfeng were also online. As soon as they saw Chu Luo online, they immediately pulled her into the team.

[Bai Ling]: “Why isn’t Senior Tang online?”

[Turbid Liquor Glutton]: “[Evil smile…] He hasn’t returned from sending Teacher Wu back to the professors’ residence.”

[Dream Slayer]: “Junior, we were discussing this just now. Old Tang has always had a crush on Teacher Wu and can’t confess at this time. I wonder what he thinks.”

[Bai Ling]: “Why not? As long as he establishes the company, the school won’t care about this matter anymore.”

[Dream Slayer]: “He doesn’t want Teacher Wu to suffer with him.”

[Bai Ling]: “Why would he have such thoughts?”

[Turbid Liquor Glutton]: “Because Old Tang’s family isn’t that well-off. He’s used to suffering since he was young. He doesn’t want Teacher Wu to suffer with him before he’s made something of himself.”

[Bai Ling]: “…”

Chu Luo felt that she had to correct Tang Zhiyun’s thinking. At the thought of this, she asked again.

[Bai Ling]: “How’s the preparation work at the company going?”

[Turbid Liquor Glutton]: “It’s being renovated. We’ll look at the computer equipment in a few days.”

Chu Luo suddenly thought of her gaming equipment in the old district. Since she didn’t need it anymore, she said, “After the company is done renovating, I’ll give you my gaming equipment as a congratulatory gift.”

The three of them excitedly nodded.

Chu Luo spoke to them for a while more before Li Yan came out.

Chu Luo went offline after informing them and moved in to give Li Yan the s.p.a.ce outside.

Li Yan lifted the blanket and sat with her. Chu Luo showed him the laptop.

“Yan, look.”

Li Yan took the laptop and quickly glanced at the content. His expression darkened. “They’re courting death!”

After saying that, he quickly typed on the keyboard.
