CHAPTER 724: CHAPTER 724: YOU DON’T SEEM TO LOVE ME THAT MUCH

Lu Xiao suddenly lost the mood to continue browsing.

The issues between him and Chen Fei seemed bigger than he had initially thought.

Even coming back together had only filled a certain void and calmed past obsessions.

The problems still persisted.

"Let’s not browse anymore, see you later." Lu Xiao turned around and walked back the way he had come.

As he passed by Chen Fei, Lu Xiao suddenly stopped, "Chen Fei, it seems... you don’t really love me that much."

Chen Fei froze on the spot, until Lu Xiao had disappeared, until the lights of the Lamp Street gradually dimmed.

In Central Lake No.3 Court, Lu Xiao lay on a wicker chair, his expression somewhat lost and disheartened.

These days he had learned quite a bit about emotional knowledge at Mai Ji’s and Wu Muli’s.

His understanding of love and the feelings between men and women had greatly improved.

It was these insights and progress that allowed him to view his relationship with Chen Fei more clearly.

Without a doubt, he still loved Chen Fei, and Chen Fei loved him too.

But clearly, neither he nor Chen Fei seemed to love each other that much.

He couldn’t stay with Chen Fei to reach Master Level, nor was Chen Fei willing to give up Master Level to go back with him.

Wu Muli had told him that in love, one should neither belittle oneself nor compromise.

But Wu Muli also said that when you truly love someone, you unconsciously accept your own insignificance and try to convince yourself to compromise according to the other’s demands.

"So, in the end, it’s just resentment," Lu Xiao sneered miserably.

It’s painful, but he had to accept it.

It seemed that his relationship with Chen Fei was indeed coming to an end.

What he pursued and what Chen Fei deeply desired had already diverged when they had parted ways in Meili Country originally.

It was only his reluctance, and Chen Fei’s self-deception.

"Forget it." Lu Xiao sighed softly, then got up.

Ten minutes later, Lu Xiao stood at the window of Mai Ganfu’s room.

"Mr. Lu?" Seeing Lu Xiao, Mai Ganfu, who had already gone to bed, immediately got up.

Mai Ganfu was somewhat puzzled by Lu Xiao’s midnight visit.

"The list, the locations, I promised to finish tonight." Lu Xiao extended his hand.

Mai Ganfu was slightly startled. So urgent?

Could it be that Lu Xiao was leaving?

"Mr. Lu, when are you leaving?" Mai Ganfu asked softly while opening a drawer to pull out the list.

"Tomorrow."

After receiving the list and addresses, Lu Xiao didn’t say anything more and quickly left.

Two hours later, Lu Xiao found Mai Ji and Wu Muli.

The three went to a shop that was still open late at night, eating grilled meat and drinking.

"Brother Xiao, why do you look so worn out tonight?" After a few glasses of Mai’s liquor, Wu Muli opened up the conversation.

"Went and killed some people."

"Oh."

Mai Ji and Wu Muli weren’t surprised; Lu Xiao’s murderous tendencies were nothing new to them.

Going out to kill in the middle of the night was fairly normal.

"I’m leaving tomorrow."

Upon hearing Lu Xiao’s words, both Mai Ji and Wu Muli were startled, then silently nodded.

They knew, of course, that Lu Xiao would leave, they just hadn’t expected it so soon.

"With sister-in-law?" Wu Muli asked.

Lu Xiao shook his head.

Wu Muli sighed softly and did not ask further.

"Let’s not talk about that, drink." Lu Xiao raised his glass.

The three drank from early morning until the sky began to lighten.

Back at Central Lake No.3 Court, Lu Xiao lay back in the rocking chair, eyes open, watching the sky grow progressively brighter.

No stars, no splendor, like a prison with only the passage of day and night.

"Indeed, I can’t really grow to like this place."

Lu Xiao sighed, then got up and wrote two letters.

Both letters were for Chen Fei.

One a breakup letter, the other a farewell letter.

After finishing, he leaped onto the wall, using his Inner Qi to control the envelopes as they landed on the stone table in Chen Fei’s courtyard.

Lu Xiao stood on the wall for a long time, until the daylight brightened, until Chen Fei’s room door squeaked open, then he suddenly dropped down and left.

At the entrance of Court No. 4, Chen Fei, sensing something, suddenly looked up towards where Lu Xiao had been standing.

The wall was empty, but Chen Fei was suddenly sure that Lu Xiao had stood there for a long time.

The next second, Chen Fei’s eyes frantically swept the courtyard.

Seeing the two envelopes on the stone table, her face immediately turned pale.
