Chapter 179 Going to a Date Alone

He also noticed the snowflakes and hurried to fetch water with a bucket. Luo Yao also went to help with a bucket.

"No wonder it's so cold today! It's going to snow. The snow looks heavy! I hope the well doesn't freeze!"

It was so cold that Luo Yaoshui's hands turned red from the cold after carrying half a tank of water.

The two were carrying water when Li Er came over in a hurry.

Luo Yao put down his bucket of humming hands and asked, "Why are you back? Isn't the store having an event? Don't you need to watch?"

"Something happened." Li Er's expression was serious.

He poured some water and saw that the two men had serious expressions, so she quickly drove them out and got down to business.

Luo Yao Li Er said goodbye to He and left in a hurry.

In the backyard of Fule, the little boy was lying on the bed with wounds all over his body. He was very excited to see Luo Yao and Li Er coming back.

"Why didn't you come? We had an appointment! Why, why, why! Aren't you a god? It's all your fault. Xiaolin Daniu and the others were captured by the bad guys! It's all your fault!"

Luo Yao frowned and looked at the child on the bed, his expression very cold.

"Shut up!" Li Er's face turned black.

The child was so scared that he quickly shut his mouth.

Li Er: "Young Master, those kids were captured while going to Yong'an Temple. The kid's name is Zhang Ling. They've told you to come alone, or they'll kill you."

"Do you know who did this?"

"I don't know yet. Young Master, you can't go! I'm going to save those children..."

Luo Yao walked to the door and said, "They said I should go to the appointment alone. What if they kill the child if you go?"

"But..." Li Er looked embarrassed.

"Don't worry, I'll go, it's okay."

Luo Yao left, and only Li Er and Zhang Ling were left in the room. He called Zhou Jiu to take care of Zhang Ling, and Li Er also left Fulepu.

The heavy snow fell for a long time, and at midnight, the city of Lin'an was covered with a layer of silver.

The lanterns on the street were lit, but it was already late and there were fewer people sightseeing.

Luo Yao walked through the deserted streets, stepped onto the path of Lin'an Mountain, and walked towards the Yong'an Temple on the ground covered with scattered jade.

Lin'an Mountain is the closest mountain to Lin'an County, and half of the mountain is within Lin'an City.

The Yong'an Temple is built at the foot of Lin'an Mountain a few streets away. The Lin'an River separates it from the worldly disturbances. Although it is not far from the downtown area, the upper river where the Yong'an Temple is located is very quiet.

The joy of the Lantern Festival also spread to this place. Except for the festival nights when no one comes here, a large area of Shanghe is hung with lanterns.

Yong'an Temple, the area around Yong'an Temple is decorated festively, with colorful lanterns hanging across most of the sky.

Luo Yao stood quietly at the entrance of Yong'an Temple. The snow had stopped.

There were people, a lot of people, Luo Yao was surrounded by them, but Luo Yao did not react at all.

"I didn't expect you to really come." A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from the temple.

Even though a long time had passed and his memory had become fuzzy, Luo Yao's composure was shattered in an instant when he heard this voice.

He Xinlin! It was He Xinlin's voice! Luo Yao stared at the gate of Yong'an Temple.

A handsome and ruthless man in black walked out of the temple, the bloody dagger in his hand still dripping with blood.

Blood dripped onto the pure white snow, seeping into it and blooming into pointed flowers.

Luo Yao watched the terrifying man walk step by step to a place not far from him.

"The beauty's face is so pale. Could it be that you were in a hurry to go out and didn't wear enough?" He Xinlin looked Luo Yao up and down with sharp eyes, as if he was looking at a naked and perfect body.

Luo Yao's stomach churned. "Why did you ask me to come here?"

"I don't mean to do anything, I just think you have a pretty face..." He Xinlin approached Luo Yao and stretched out his hand to him.

Luo Yao dodged sideways as a conditioned reflex, pulled out a dagger and stabbed at He Xinlin.

After being stabbed, He Xinlin touched the scratch on his face and saw the blood on his hand, his face fell.

He has no patience and hates people who don't listen the most! Even if Luo Yao in front of him is a beauty, it won't work!

The black-clad men lying in ambush nearby had already started fighting with Luo Yao. Luo Yao had been in a hurry to go out without a spear, so it was difficult for him to fight with only a dagger.

After killing a man, Luo Yao picked up the man's sword.

The sounds of fighting rang out one after another. Dodging the sword that was stabbing at him, Luo Yao caught a glimpse of He Xinlin standing in the snow with a gloomy face, and the swaying figure in the Yong'an Temple behind him.

Who is inside?

The children... Luo Yao was extremely anxious when being harassed by more than a dozen people, and his cheek was cut by a knife when he was not paying attention.

At this moment, more than a dozen people rushed out of the Yong'an Temple and joined the battle. Luo Yao was distracted and could not distinguish between friend and foe. When he came to his senses, the dozen people around him had been eliminated.

"Who are you? Children..."

"Don't worry, Princess. The children have been rescued."

Luo Yao stared at the man's face. He didn't know him, and the man who let the secret slip also had an annoyed expression on his face.

Bei Zhenting is in Lin'an County? Luo Yao looked puzzled.

The man's eyes dodged, and Luo Yao's emotions suddenly exploded. He pushed away the people who were protecting him and killed his way out.

He did come out to kill, but Luo Yao stopped and stood blankly in the snow in front of the Yong'an Temple, not knowing what to do for a moment.

He had a hunch that Bei Zhenting was in the Yong'an Temple, perhaps even watching him... But... what was he doing, what was he going to do?

Is he going to question Bei Zhenting why he secretly helped and protected him?

But isn’t the answer obvious?

Bei Zhenting was not protecting him, he was just protecting this body.

This ghost of his possessed the body of the person Bei Zhenting loved... How did Bei Zhenting view him... Would he...

A feeling of self-loathing rose from the depths of his heart, and Luo Yao's entire body went cold. For the first time, he actively entertained thoughts of suicide...

He was originally dead, but he woke up in this person's body and saw his grandfather and brother. He gained two years of his life for nothing...

Although he was reluctant to leave his grandfather and brother, he felt disgusted at this moment for occupying someone else's body, especially since that person was the one Bei Zhenting loved. He was disgusted to the extreme for receiving that person's care and protection because of this body!

He should return this body to Bei Zhenting...

Luo Yao's eyes were bloodshot, and he grabbed the dagger with trembling hands. Someone restrained him from behind, and a low chuckle came from his ears.

The man grabbed his neck, and He Xinlin's fingers stroked his neck gently. Luo Yao stood stiffly in the snow, and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground.

What does fear look like? The snow was stained red with blood... Blood danced on the ground, boiling and surging towards Luo Yao, purple-black blood crawling up his ankles...

The arrow, blasted with gusts of wind, passed by my ear. A heart-wrenching scream echoed from behind me, and the shackles on my body were gone...

The archer flew down from the second-floor terrace of Yong'an Temple and landed beside him. The wind blew Luo Yao's hair.

"The people of Lin'an County have already left. There's going to be a war in the north."

"I have arranged for someone in Lin'an County. I will send someone to pick up the Duke and your brother soon. You are safe in Luo Mansion now. It's late now, so go back quickly."

Luo Yao heard the man say.
