After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 508 Other Possibilities

"Is my story boring? Why won't you look at me?" Li Linghui asked softly, looking at Shen Xu, who kept his eyes closed.

Shen Xu shook his head. "You are too tempting to me, so I dare not look."

After he finished speaking, he prepared to get up.

"Please don't go, okay?" Li Linghui whispered.

Seeing the pleading look in Li Linghui's eyes, Shen Xu ultimately did not choose to get up.

"Linghui, why did you choose me? Logically speaking, given your conditions and status in the Blood Fiend Palace, there must have been someone more suitable."

I am not someone you can entrust your life to, and I could very well hurt you.

"You've experienced so much deception and harm; shouldn't you be more cautious about this kind of thing?"

"So how do you plan to hurt me?" Li Linghui asked with a smile.

"I'll abandon you after the effects of the love flower wear off."

“Then I might kill you!” Li Linghui placed her hand on his neck.

"Just kidding!" Shen Xu chuckled somewhat sheepishly.

"I lied to the young master. In fact, once the Love Flower meets the right person, it will attract him to my side, and that will be when our fates become intertwined."

Otherwise, how could you possibly have found Tingtao Residence on your very first night in Baihua City, given that it's such a remote location?

Li Linghui reached into his chest and gently stroked it.

Shen Xu immediately grabbed Li Linghui's hand, pulled it away, then slowly stood up, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it.

Li Linghui then got up and hugged him from behind, saying, "What's wrong with being with me? Why are you so resistant to me?"

The Love Flower can not only help us cultivate ourselves, but also alleviate your soul's problems. Most importantly, it brings joy. What are you hesitating for?

"I know my own problems; they can't be solved by a simple love flower."

As for resistance... I just feel a little awkward and can't get over it in my mind.

"Give me some more time! Let me think about this carefully." Shen Xu grasped Li Linghui's hand.

He needed to find the antidote to the love flower before he could succumb to Li Linghui's temptation.

As for turning against Li Linghui, that was not even on his mind. If he couldn't find the antidote, Li Linghui was his only option.

"Is anyone there?" A voice from outside the boat immediately interrupted the two's sweet talk.

"Miss Li, are you there?"

"White Dew!" Shen Xu was startled and immediately broke free from Li Linghui's embrace, his mind racing as he tried to figure out how to escape.

But then he thought, isn't this a good time to cut ties with Bailu and Guanbi?

Otherwise, they would inevitably have to look for him after he left, which is not something he would want to see.

"Do you want to hide for a bit?" Li Linghui asked softly, though her expression showed some displeasure.

"Need not."

Shen Xu took Li Linghui's hand and said, "Let me take this opportunity to formally introduce you to them."

Li Linghui's face immediately lit up with a smile, and she gently pecked his cheek. "As a return gift, there's a reward tonight!"

After saying that, she giggled and went outside the cabin.

When she saw the people outside the door, she was taken aback. Why were there so many people?

"Miss Li, why didn't you set sail today? This remote place has given us quite a search," Song Han said with a smile.

"I'm sorry, my younger sister fell ill last night, so we're closing the boat today to take care of her." Li Linghui bowed apologetically to everyone.

"That's a pity. I was hoping to hear Sister Li play the zither." Ji Ling Shuang's voice couldn't help but carry a hint of regret.

"It's alright. We're not just staying in Hundred Flowers City for one day. Since Miss Li doesn't have time today, we won't bother her."

"Guanbi, let's go!"

For some reason, Bai Lu had a feeling that it would be best for her to get away from here as soon as possible.

"Since you have come all this way, please come in and have a cup of tea. I also have a guest here, whom you all probably want to see."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked at Li Linghui.

"Shen Xu, is it? You knew his identity all along," Guan Bi said coldly.

"Miss Guan is very perceptive, but I was also forced into this situation. I hope you two can understand."

"Why didn't he come to see us? And why did he run away yesterday!" Bai Lu's voice turned cold.

"It would be better if you two asked Shen Lang yourselves," Li Linghui said with a smile.

"Shen Lang! What is your relationship with him?"

Bai Lu immediately had a bad feeling.

“Miss, I think we should ask him ourselves to avoid any misunderstandings,” Guan Bi stopped Bai Lu from pressing him for answers.

Song Han and Ji Ling Shuang exchanged a glance, then both skillfully concealed the look of inquiry in their eyes.

Bai Lu glared at Li Linghui fiercely, then walked past her and headed straight into the cabin.

When Song Han and Ji Ling Shuang wanted to follow Bai Lu and Guan Bi into the cabin, they were stopped by Li Ling Hui.

"Please wait a moment, gentlemen. I think they have a lot to say privately, so it would be best if we didn't go and disturb them."

When Bai Lu entered the cabin and saw the young man sitting there peacefully, all the anger in her heart vanished instantly, leaving only endless longing lingering in her heart.

He wanted to ask a question, but the words stuck in his throat, and he couldn't bring himself to speak.

At that moment, Guan Bi walked past her with a gloomy face and sat down directly opposite the young man.

Why didn't you come looking for me after you got out?

Looking at the person she had been longing for day and night, Guan Bi felt an endless sense of grievance in her heart, with nowhere to confide in.

She was so worried about his safety, yet he was willing to tell her he was safe and sound. What did she mean to him?

Looking at Guan Bi's purple-gold vertical pupils, Shen Xu's last trace of worry gradually subsided. With Guan Bi's current strength and talent, as long as he didn't fight the Blood Fiend Palace to the death, he was enough to protect himself in the Blood Tide.

"If I told you that when I came out of the Thunder Pool Secret Realm, you were no longer in Tianhe, would you believe me?"

"I believe you! How do you explain what happened yesterday?" Guan Bi said coldly.

"What I'm about to do is dangerous, and I don't want to involve you in it."

"I'm not afraid! You saved my life, so it's no problem to give it back to you."

Shen Xu was taken aback, then looked at Bai Lu standing beside him.

"Why are you looking at me? Guanbi is no longer my maid. She has the right to decide what she wants to do."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xu couldn't help but smile happily. He was glad that Guan Bi could reconcile with herself.

The little maid who used to torment him to steal Bailu's things has now become a truly independent person.

The condition he made Bai Lu agree to before entering the Thunder Pool Secret Realm was to give Guan Bi his freedom, but now it seems that it is no longer necessary.

"Kid, how did you get out?" At this moment, the skull emerged from Guan Bi's ring.

"Senior! I didn't expect you to come out too. I was brought out by You Kong Lei Ling into a special space left by Senior Ling in the secret realm. It was also it that brought me out."

Shen Xu showed off the silver lightning pattern on his arm.

"I was wondering why I hadn't seen You Konglei Ling. It turns out you brought him out. It seems Ling Hai has found the madman he was talking about," the skull exclaimed.

"That's something only a madman could get," Shen Xu remarked.

"Shen Xu, thank you for what happened in the Thunder Pool Secret Realm. Without you, I would have lost two of my dearest people." Bai Lu sat next to Guan Bi and sincerely thanked him.

"It seems Guanbi has found the remnant soul of your father for you," Shen Xu said with a smile.

"You know all this..." Bai Lu's eyes widened immediately.

"Next time you two are arguing, try to avoid Jiaojiao. Although she looks like a crane, her mind is already that of a young girl."

Bai Lu blushed instantly. She remembered that she had told Shen Xu to go to the Thunder Pool Secret Realm alone.

This also shows that Shen Xu knew that Aunt Lan and his mother were plotting against him, but he still chose to go to the Thunder Pool Secret Realm in the end.

"Then why did you still go?" Bai Lu couldn't help but ask.

"I want to help you, and I also want to help Guanbi."

If my inaction is destined to be a tragedy, then I am willing to take the plunge and fight for another possibility for your future.

Bai Lu's nose tingled, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears. "You bastard, who told you to say such sentimental things!"

“It wouldn’t look good if I cried, and I’m fine now, aren’t I?” Shen Xu smiled.

"Who's crying? I just got some wind in my eyes."

There are no windows open here.

"Get out of here!" Bai Lu said, somewhat exasperated.
