Unconventional blind dates

Chapter 98 The Family Heirloom Candied Hawthorn (laughs)

"Because times have changed."

Lu Li shrugged. "We live in a society governed by the rule of law. His crimes should be dealt with by the law."

He waved the materials in his hand, "I'll quietly put these in the procuratorate office later and hand them over to them."

Li Tingchan remained indifferent. "I don't trust the imperial court."

I believe you.

Li Tingchan lowered her head and remained silent for a long time. Her hand holding the oil-paper umbrella trembled slightly, and her knuckles turned white from the force.

"Young Master Lu, you've changed. From this day forward, our ties are severed! If I ever discover you've committed any crimes, even betraying your master and ancestors, I will show you no mercy!"

After saying that, she tried to rush out.

Lu Li quickly stopped him, "Where are you going?"

Letting this guy out there might cause a lot of trouble!

"With my three-foot-long sword, I will sever the evil and injustice of the world. Get out of my way! Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless!"

Lu Li: "."

They even have a whole set of fancy words, which sounds rather childish.

He sighed and began to persuade, "There's no injustice now, who would dare to claim injustice? The world isn't black and white, and it changes too fast. Let me have a good talk with you."

"Oh"

Li Tingchan looked utterly disappointed, gave a cold laugh, and turned to crash herself out of the balcony window.

"Holy crap! This is the 18th floor! And it's my window!"

Lu Li rushed over, but Li Tingchan had already disappeared.

He repaired the window using the dream world and returned to the living room sofa to sit down.

"What kind of mess is this?"

But we can't ignore it.

Neither preventing Li Tingchan from continuing to kill nor preventing her from being shot as a thug is the outcome Lu Li wants to see.

It wasn't because she was pretty or because of that "Master" she called out.

It was because what she said contained many things that Lu Li wanted to know.

For example, whether there really were extraordinary beings in this world, and whether I actually existed in history.

Lu Li was very interested in all of these.

With a pout and forcing back her exhaustion, Lu Li grabbed the stack of documents and headed out.

He has to go to the procuratorate first, then open the dream world and send the documents in.

Sometimes, it's 1279 years.

Sometimes I can find my master when I wake up, and sometimes I can't.

But she felt at ease.

Because she knew her master would be waiting for her somewhere.

Friends and enemies from the past have all become history.

But the world remains unchanged.

Even after the monsters are killed, there are still villains.

Her master had told her that it was impossible to save the world.

That belongs to everyone in the world.

All they need to do is to act with a clear conscience within the confines of their swords.

She has always believed this, and she has always acted accordingly.

She originally thought that things could continue like this forever; wherever her master was, that was her home.

But the dramatic changes that occurred a hundred years ago already made her very uncomfortable.

But this time when she woke up, she felt even more lost and disoriented.

How come those tall buildings didn't collapse?

Those metal boxes are running faster and in greater numbers than they were a hundred years ago.

Even late at night, you rarely encounter thugs blocking your way on the street.

But what remains unchanged is that there are still many evil people.

She could sense the good and evil in everyone, except for her master.

But she was certain that her master was an absolutely good person.

But has Master changed too?

Why does Master go to save that evil person when it's clearly about punishing the wicked and eliminating evil?

Is that wrong?

Why, Master?

Li Tingchan hugged her knees tightly, burying her stunningly beautiful oval face in her arms.

She felt very lonely.

This is the first time I've ever felt so lonely.

"Master."

The familiar footsteps behind her made Li Tingchan subconsciously raise her head.

Sure enough, you find me no matter where I am, Master.

But then she suddenly remembered that she had already broken off all contact with him!

She bit her lower lip hard, ignoring the tears streaming down her cheeks, and said coldly, "Young Master Lu, what brings you here? Do you really think my sword is useless?"

"Should I leave?"

After saying that, the footsteps behind him gradually faded into the distance.

Li Tingchan suddenly turned around, but through her blurry, tear-filled eyes, she could only see Lu Li squatting not far behind her, smoking a cigarette and smiling bitterly.

She bit her trembling lower lip hard, stubbornly glaring at Lu Li.

Lu Li crouched down and took two steps forward, then took out a string of candied hawthorns and handed it to her, "Here, don't cry~"

He bought it in the old city a few hours ago.

I never thought I'd actually find it useful now.

Li Tingchan was stunned, and finally couldn't help but cry.

She wiped her face as she cried, trying to suppress her sobs so that Lu Li wouldn't see her face.

But the more she tried to hold it in, the more she cried, and she even started hiccuping because she was trying so hard to suppress it.

Then she cried even harder.

Lu Li: "."

Turns out she's a little crybaby.

"Never mind if you don't want it, it's pretty sour anyway."

To be honest, it's best not to buy anything in the scenic area; it's a real rip-off.

"That's mine!"

Li Tingchan snatched the candied hawthorn from Li Tingchan's arm, then looked up with teary eyes and asked, "Master, why did you save that villain?"

Her anger had subsided.

Master is too unfair!

It was always like this; whenever she got angry, her master would buy her candied hawthorns to appease her.

She's clearly not a child anymore.

"This is a rather complicated matter," Lu Li said, scratching his cheek as if he wanted to light a cigarette.

But seeing Li Tingchan's tearful face, he still held back.

"Come back with me, we'll talk when we get back." Lu Li stood up and extended his hand. "This era is changing too fast, it's normal that you don't understand."

He simply couldn't bear to watch this female swordsman wandering alone on the street, only to be shot dead by the police.

Of course, this is also because he doesn't understand what the "Void Realm" actually represents.

If he had known, he wouldn't have been worried about Li Tingchan.

Li Tingchan was somewhat mesmerized as she looked at Lu Li's outstretched hand.

Sure enough, no matter how fast the world changes, a master is still a master.

Just like before.

"Um."

A fair and slender hand clasped with another slender hand, but not as fair.
