Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past, causing Liu Hongchang to shiver.
"What did you say?" Liu Hongchang looked at Lu An in disbelief. His eyes widened in shock as he asked, "Say that again?"
Not only him, but the other two also looked at Lu An in astonishment. The most surprised one was Chen Wen, who was kicked to the ground.
Chen Wen's despaired eyes were suddenly filled with hope, and he swiftly raised his head to look at Lu An as if he'd found a life-saving straw. He knelt down with all his might and crawled to Lu An's feet before crying and begging. "Save me! Save me! "
Lu An looked at Chen Wen at his feet and frowned.
"Lu An, are you really not going to pursue this matter?" Liu Hongchang shouted coldly, "Although you can avoid blame by not pursuing this matter, you should know that this is not a trivial matter!"
Hearing Liu Hongchang's words, Lu An did not look up. Instead, he looked at Chen Wen kneeling in front of him and asked with a frown, "Where do you live?"
"Home?" Chen Wen, who was kneeling on the ground, was stunned and looked at Lu An at a loss. He did not know what the other party was asking.
"I asked you where you are from, what is your father's name, and what does he do?" Lu An's voice was cold as he asked again.
Chen Wen trembled. Although he did not know what the other party wanted, he did not dare to not answer at this moment. He quickly said, "I am from Qing Bei City. My father is called Chen Diyuan. He is in charge of an escort agency!"
Lu An frowned more and more when he heard this. In the end, he took a deep breath and a trace of disappointment appeared in his eyes.
This disappointment made Chen Wen's body tremble and he could not say a word.
However, Lu An did not delay. He looked up at Liu Hongchang and said with a fist salute, "Senior Liu, I will not pursue this matter. Please forgive him this time."
Liu Hongchang frowned and looked at Lu An suspiciously, but in the end, he shook his head and said, "You are the person involved. If you don't pursue this matter, I won't pursue it either. But if this kid falls into the hands of others in the future, don't blame me for being impolite! "
"No way, no way! I won't dare to do it again! "Chen Wen immediately knelt down before Liu Hongchang and said quickly.
"Hmph!" Looking at Chen Wen's cowardly appearance, Liu Hongchang recalled how he had slandered him earlier. He snorted coldly and left with his men!
After Liu Hongchang's group of three left, Chen Wen fell on his butt on the ground. In the cold air, he was sweating profusely, and even his clothes were soaked.
After sitting for a few breaths, Chen Wencai suddenly remembered something. He quickly got up and looked at Lu An behind him before quickly thanking him, "Thank you for sparing my life ….."
"It wasn't me who spared your life." Lu An's brows loosened, and his expression was cold as he said, "It was your father who saved your life."
"What?" Chen Wen was stunned. His eyes widened as he looked at Lu An in confusion.
There was still more than half of the two hours left. Lu An was not in a hurry. He took a deep breath and exhaled a white mist. Disappointment appeared in his eyes once again.
"A month ago, I passed by Green North City." Lu An said faintly, "I went to the Shenwei Escort Agency and met your father once. My dark horse was given to me by your father."
Chen Wen's body shook violently. His eyes widened as he looked at Lu An in disbelief.
That's right, the person in front of him was the son of the Shenwei Escort Agency's First Master. He was also the person the First Master had asked him to take care of before leaving.
The First Master had told him that his son had been very shy since he was young. He was not outgoing at all and was honest and would be easily bullied. If Lu An met his son on the Dacheng Sky Mountain, he had to treat him kindly and help him.
Lu An had accepted the dark horse and naturally agreed to this matter. However, he had never thought that the 'introverted' and 'honest' son that the First Master had mentioned would actually be a thief who stole his things in the middle of the night.
Lu An sneered at the thought of his son's face just now. It seemed that the First Master was going to have to reevaluate his son.
Lu An did not want to say anything more. He said faintly, "Your father gave me the dark horse, so I didn't pursue the matter. We're even now. Your father had asked me to take care of you, but I have no interest in being friends with someone like you. "
Then, Lu An walked forward to the wild bear's carcass. He grabbed half of the carcass and said, "The other half is for you. Consider it my final repayment."
After saying that, Lu An walked forward with half of the wild bear's carcass in his hand.
However, he had only taken a few steps when he suddenly heard a thump from behind him.
Lu An frowned and looked back. He saw that Chen Wen was kneeling on the ground again.
Chen Wen's face was covered in tears and his body was trembling. He cried loudly, "Brother Lu, I was wrong … I was really wrong …"
Looking at Chen Wen's tearful appearance, Lu An's frown gradually relaxed. He believed that he had a certain ability to judge people. At this moment, Chen Wen was really crying.
However, Lu An did not go over to comfort him. Instead, he stood beside the wild bear's carcass and quietly watched Chen Wen cry. He did not say a word.
The wind howled, causing the cries to be buried in the snow.
After a long time, Chen Wen finally stopped crying. When he finished crying, he stood up from the ground. His expression had returned to normal as he looked at Lu An.
Then, he walked toward Lu An and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry. I was possessed just now. Because I really … really can't take it anymore …"
Lu An frowned and looked at Chen Wen.
"A year ago, I graduated from North Blue Academy and was recommended to come here. There were eight other students who came with me. We are all … geniuses in the academy. "Chen Wen choked and said slowly.
Lu An frowned and listened quietly without saying a word.
"The nine of us each chose a peak. Because I have the water attribute, I chose Blue Water peak. I thought this was a cultivation paradise. But when I really came here, I realized that I was wrong. "
"On the first day I came here, I was severely beaten up."
Chen Wen's voice suddenly paused, as if he still could not accept this fact. He choked and said, "That day, they forced me to go hunting. I refused, so they stopped me at night and beat me. I had to lie in bed for seven days before I could walk."
"I didn't expect them to be so ruthless. I also didn't expect that my first days in Blue Water peak would be like this. But I was scared. I could only listen to them and go hunting. Moreover, I did it for a year. "
"During this year, I didn't know how much hardship I suffered. I didn't know how many times I was beaten. Every time I was beaten, I had to lie in bed for several days. The longest time I had to lie in bed was half a month. At that time, I thought I would die! Not only did I have to go hunting, but I also had to grow vegetables and run errands. If I didn't hunt enough, I would be beaten. If I didn't do my job well, I would be beaten. Even if I said something wrong, I would be beaten. I really … "
At this point, Chen Wen finally could not help it. His eyes turned red again.
Lu An frowned and looked at Chen Wen. He still did not speak.
"Winter was the most difficult time. It was too cold to grow vegetables, so I could only rely on hunting for food. But the winter was so cold, and the animals were all looking for places to hide. Where could I find so much food to eat? "
"Now, every few days, I would be beaten and humiliated by them. I once resisted, but I was no match for them. In the end, I would only end up worse. The road ahead would be even more torturous. I was really scared. I was too scared that I wouldn't be able to find enough prey. Right now, I don't want to cultivate at all. I only want to be beaten less and be able to continue living here. That's enough! "
"So …" Chen Wen looked at Lu An and said bitterly, "Just now, after seeing such a big wild bear, I was obsessed and did something I had never done before. This was really the first time I made such a mistake. I really haven't done it before … "
Chen Wen looked at Lu An expectantly, as if he was expecting the other party to sympathize with his experience and understand him.
However, he was disappointed.
"So?" Lu An's voice was extremely cold. He said in a deep voice, "This is the reason why you stole my things and framed me?"
"No … This is my fault …" Chen Wen panicked and quickly waved his hand.
Looking at Chen Wen's denial, Lu An's eyes were cold. He pointed to the wild bear on the ground and said, "I gave you half of the bear as an explanation to your father. In the future, we will have nothing to do with each other."
With that, Lu An once again grabbed the body of the bear beside him and turned to walk back.
Chen Wen was stunned. He did not know what he said wrong because he clearly felt that Lu An was even colder than before.
Just as Chen Wen stood there and did not know what to say, Lu An, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.
Chen Wen was overjoyed. He thought that things had taken a turn for the better and that the other party understood him.
However, Lu An did not even turn his head. He just opened his mouth and said one last sentence.
"Your father asked me to tell you that your mother misses you."
Hearing this, Chen Wen's whole body shook. Large beads of tears fell from his eyes. His whole body trembled as he knelt on the ground and cried loudly.
Lu An ignored him and disappeared into the black snow.
