Li Chonglou’s heavenly eye divine ability was constantly active, and in his vision, Qiu Bai’s right hand reached behind him and drew a short knife.
This was truly an intent to kill.
Li Chonglou remained outwardly calm, feigning ignorance, but his mind was racing.
As if in an instant, the next second, Qiu Bai’s face finally contorted with ferocity. He drew the short knife and without a word, slashed down at Li Chonglou’s head.
However, at the same moment, an aura he had encountered before surged again, instantly dredging up the most profound memory in Qiu Bai’s mind.
“You can’t trick me anymore! Die!”
Qiu Bai suppressed his inner fear, his right hand still bringing the short knife down. But in the next second, Qiu Bai felt his body stiffen.
It was as if an invisible rope had bound him, and this rope was imbued with the aura he feared most.
“He’s not an ordinary person?”
Qiu Bai’s expression was one of terror. If he were truly a commoner like himself, he wouldn’t be able to do such a thing!
The entire process took only a blink of an eye. From Qiu Bai drawing his knife to realizing Li Chonglou’s extraordinary nature was merely a single second. In the next moment, Li Chonglou, with a sudden change in expression, rolled to the side.
“Brother Qiu, what are you doing!”
This time, it was Qiu Bai who was stunned, not because his blade missed, but because of Li Chonglou’s reaction.
Shouldn’t it be me? What is he afraid of?
Li Chonglou quickly retreated to a corner of the room, his face tense and vigilant. He said in a deep voice, “Brother Qiu, did something happen? Did someone come looking for you?”
Qiu Bai finally reacted, staring intently at Li Chonglou. The feeling of being unable to move had only lasted for an instant, making it hard to recall. Qiu Bai had instinctively dismissed it.
With a cold tone, he said, “Someone did come looking for me, and they made me see your true colors!”
Li Chonglou was speechless. How could this guy believe whatever anyone told him? It was good that he believed me, at least I have no ill intentions. Instead of believing anyone randomly…
Shaking his head, Li Chonglou sighed, “Brother Qiu, if I were trying to trick you, would I have wasted so much time asking you for information?”
“Besides, you say I tricked you, but then tell me, why would I trick you? What could I possibly gain from you?”
Qiu Bai’s expression froze. He had never considered this question.
Li Chonglou’s speechless expression intensified.
“Brother Qiu, I am acquainted with your uncle. Don’t tell me you’ve misunderstood me based on what some outsiders said?”
Upon hearing this, Qiu Bai’s expression suddenly became firm.
“Misunderstood you? I saw you enter that demon’s house with my own eyes!”
Li Chonglou frowned, asking doubtfully, “You saw it with your own eyes? When?”
“Heh, are you trying to find an excuse to trick me again? Fine, I’ll make you convinced. It was last night!”
“Uh, Brother Qiu, did you drink again…”
“I am not drunk. I haven’t had any alcohol since you visited me yesterday!”
Qiu Bai gritted his teeth. Li Chonglou couldn’t figure out the root of his emotions and directly asked, “Brother Qiu, even if I went to see him last night, what does that prove? Can I not even get close to someone if I’m trying to help you investigate?”
Qiu Bai said solemnly, “If you were truly doing it for me, of course you could! But you’re not. You’re Du Tian’s man! You came to me just to pry information out of me, and you want to silence me!”
This was truly absurd!
Li Chonglou finally understood why this fellow was acting so strangely, and why Su Qi had suddenly arranged for him to go to Du Tian’s mansion last night.
So that’s how it was!
“If I’m not mistaken.”
Li Chonglou suddenly cast his gaze outside. Through his heavenly eye, he saw two familiar figures hurrying towards them.
Li Chonglou had figured out the general reason, but there were still a few points he didn’t understand.
What exactly did these two tell Qiu Bai that made him trust their words so much?
Also, why weren’t the two of them guarding the area? Weren’t they afraid that I would actually kill him?
However, there wasn’t much time to ponder these two questions. Li Chonglou’s eyes darted, and he quickly came up with an excellent plan.
At this moment, seeing Li Chonglou’s silence, Qiu Bai assumed it was an admission. His anger surged again, and he continued to hold his short knife, charging at Li Chonglou.
“Even if I die, I’ll take you, the liar, down with me!”
“Uh, calm down, Brother Qiu!”
With a *qiang* sound, the short knife was half-embedded in the wooden window behind him. Li Chonglou, who had rolled to the side, rushed towards the door in a panic.
“You’re not escaping!”
Qiu Bai quickly drew his short knife and continued to pursue.
Just as the two reached the door, Li Chonglou reached out, but the wooden door was suddenly kicked open. The door opened inwards, and Li Chonglou, unable to dodge, was knocked straight back into Qiu Bai’s arms.
“Brother Lou!”
Both their faces changed drastically. At this moment, Qiu Bai’s short knife was already aimed at Li Chonglou’s head.
“Save me!”
Li Chonglou also appeared flustered, but upon seeing the two appear, a glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes.
Qiu Bai, who was about to deliver a fatal blow, suddenly felt his body stiffen. The knife held above his head could not be lowered an inch!
If it were someone else, Qiu Bai might have panicked, but when he saw that the newcomers were Su Qi and the other, his expression turned ferocious.
“You dare to attack an ordinary person like me?”
The expressions of the two changed instantly. Tian You immediately shouted at Li Chonglou, “Brother Lou, we can’t make a move anymore. If you don’t want to die, kill him quickly!”
The atmosphere became extremely tense. Qiu Bai’s face was filled with killing intent, as if he wanted to vent all the darkness in his heart. The two, on the other hand, looked anxious, like bystanders who were willing but unable to help.
Li Chonglou’s face hardened. Taking advantage of Qiu Bai’s immobility, he turned and snatched the knife from his hand.
However, after taking the knife, he didn’t deliver a killing blow, but instead held it to Qiu Bai’s neck.
“Don’t move! Or I’ll really kill you!”
“I’m already dying anyway, why should I fear you?”
To Li Chonglou’s surprise, even at this point, Qiu Bai’s reaction was still intense. Even with the knife at his throat, he reached out to grab it.
“Make your move, Brother Lou! If you don’t, you’ll be killed! This guy has smeared poison on the blade!”
Qiu Bai’s expression froze, and he turned his head in shock to look at Su Qi, who had spoken.
“You…”
Qiu Bai only managed to utter one word before his voice suddenly became hoarse. Upon hearing the word poison, Li Chonglou’s face also changed drastically. Without further hesitation, he plunged the knife into Qiu Bai’s chest!
Although it was a short knife, it was still more than ten centimeters long, and at this moment, it was completely submerged in Qiu Bai’s chest.
