Chapter 494: Do You Think You Can Escape?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The two of them continued walking.

Outside the bathroom, Chu Luo didn’t want to go to the toilet, so she helped Wu Yiyao hold her bag and waited for her outside.

Not long after Wu Yiyao entered, another person walked over. It was a young married woman who looked a little plump.

When the young woman saw Chu Luo standing there, she asked in surprise, “Eh, Chu Luo, why are you here?”

Chu Luo didn’t know this person, so she pursed her lips and looked at her.

The young woman smiled and said, “I forgot to introduce myself. I’m the groom’s second sister-in-law. My name is Li Qian. I saw many girls looking for you just now… Since you’re here, I’m relieved. I’ll go to the washroom first. Let’s go over together later.”

After saying that, Li Qian walked towards the washroom.

Chu Luo continued to wait.

After a while, Wu Yiyao didn’t come out. However, a shadow suddenly flashed behind the shade of a tree. Chu Luo felt the energy fluctuation of that shadow and narrowed her eyes.

She didn’t chase after that shadow. Instead, she walked towards the washroom.

When she reached the washroom, besides the tap by the sink, it was extremely quiet elsewhere. The two people who were inside had also disappeared.

The atmosphere in the entire washroom was very strange.

Chu Luo walked to the sink and stood there with her eyes lowered, looking puzzled.

A powerful energy wave attacked her.

However, two centimeters away from Chu Luo, it was as if it was stopped by something. Not only did it not enter her body, but the energy fluctuation also bounced around.

In the next moment, a muffled groan was heard.

The corners of Chu Luo’s lips curled up. She raised her hand and waved it around. An energy several times more powerful than the energy just now spread out.

Soon, the surrounding magnetic field changed.

Opposite her, a woman in a tribal costume covered her chest and looked at Chu Luo warily. Beside the woman lay the unconscious Wu Yiyao and Li Qian.

The woman realized that she had appeared and said in disbelief, “You actually broke my array formation!”

“Pfft…” Chu Luo sneered and walked towards her. As she walked, she said,” Let me guess. You’re probably someone the Qin family found. ”

“What are you talking about?” As Chu Luo approached her, the woman felt an invisible and powerful pressure pressing down on her, making her unable to breathe.

“Don’t you know what I’m talking about? Or… you’re hired by the Shang family.”

The woman was suppressed by Chu Luo’s aura until blood flowed from the corners of her lips. She subconsciously retreated, and as if she finally couldn’t withstand her strong aura, she admitted, “Yes, I was invited by the Shang family.”

“Pfft, do you think I’ll believe you?”

Chu Luo’s eyes were filled with ridicule.

Only then did the woman realize that Chu Luo was deliberately trying to wring information out of her. As she retreated, she gathered her energy. She looked frightened, but in her heart, she was already prepared to teach Chu Luo a lesson.

However, just as she finished gathering her energy, it disappeared in the next second.

The woman turned pale with fright. “You… you…”

Chu Luo raised her palm, and in her palm was the energy ball that the woman had gathered just now. She looked at the energy ball and said casually, “Even if you don’t tell me who it is, I know. I like to use whatever method others use to deal with me, to deal with them. You want to trap me and take me away, right?”

As the woman listened to Chu Luo, her expression became more and more frightened.

Chu Luo continued, “I’m not interested in you, so I’ll trap you here… How long will I trap you for? One year? Two years? Or ten years?”

The woman subconsciously swallowed her saliva and threatened her loudly, “Do you think I’m the only one here? If you dare to do anything to me, your man will be finished.”

“Are you scaring me?”

Chu Luo smiled at her.

An indescribable fear rose in the woman’s heart. She retreated a little faster and turned to escape.

“Do you think you can escape?”

After saying that, Chu Luo returned the energy ball to her.

“Ah…”

The woman’s scream only lasted for a few seconds before her and her voice were sucked into the ball of light.

Chu Luo looked at the toilet, which had returned to normal.

She walked up to Wu Yiyao. After she used the power of a priestess, Wu Yiyao slowly opened her eyes.

She was obviously a little confused. She looked at Chu Luo, who had appeared in front of her, and even blinked a few times before asking in a daze, “Chu Luo, what happened just now?”

After asking that, she realized that she was still lying on the ground and quickly got up.

On the way up, she saw the woman lying beside her and asked in surprise, “She…”

“Someone with that sort of ability sneaked in here. Like you, she was knocked out for no reason.”

She then added, “She’s the Second Madam of the Shang family. Her name is Li Qian.”

Wu Yiyao nodded and quickly pushed Li Qian.

Li Qian also slowly opened her eyes. When she did, she asked in confusion, “Ah! What happened just now?”

She then saw Chu Luo and Wu Yiyao.

Chu Luo said, “You suddenly fainted just now.”

Although Li Qian felt strange, she still thanked the two of them after standing up.

The three of them walked out of the washroom.

After taking a few steps, Chu Luo realized that someone was following her.

After thinking for a while, she said to Wu Yiyao, “Sister Wu, let’s go back to the banquet first.”

Wu Yiyao used her eyes to ask Chu Luo if she had discovered something else.

Chu Luo nodded slightly at her.

However, Li Qian smiled and said, “The men are basically drinking at the banquet. Why don’t we go back to the girls’ side together? Just now, Miss Duanmu and the two Misses of the Qin family fell into the swimming pool for some reason. They should have changed their clothes by now. You guys can go over and continue playing with everyone.”

Wu Yiyao looked at Chu Luo, seeking her opinion with her gaze.

Chu Luo didn’t say anything.

The three of them returned to the pool.

When everyone saw Chu Luo and Wu Yiyao come over, they immediately surrounded them.

Miao Ke quickly asked, “Chu Luo, Teacher Wu, where did you go just now? We’ve been looking for you for a long time.”

“We went to the washroom.”

After Wu Yiyao answered, she looked around and asked, “How are Miss Duanmu and the two Misses of the Qin family?”

“My cousin brought them to change their clothes and isn’t back yet.

Wu Yiyao nodded and said, “Don’t surround us, everyone. Continue playing.”

Everyone dispersed.

Miao Ke didn’t leave. She said to Chu Luo expectantly, “Chu Luo, I’ve always wanted to learn advanced protective wall programming. Can you teach me?”

Chu Luo had a cold expression. “This is third-year knowledge. You don’t have the foundation and can’t learn it.”

Miao Ke was silent for two seconds before accepting this fact in embarrassment.

At this moment, Li Qian, who was standing at the side, said to Wu Yiyao, “Miss Wu, I noticed that you’re not fond of playing with everyone. There’s a rest area over there. Let’s go over there and drink tea. Coincidentally, I got someone to dry some flower tea a while ago. It’s the perfect time to drink it.”

The place Li Qian mentioned was in another glass space connected to the glass corridor. It was a pavilion with a stone table inside. A tea set was already placed on the stone table.

Before Wu Yiyao could speak, a group of girls about Chu Luo’s age surrounded her again. They said to Chu Luo, “Chu Luo, we’re all students from Imperial University. We’ve been embarrassed to greet you before. Can we play with you?”

Chu Luo glanced at everyone and didn’t refuse. “Sure.”

The girls cheered. Everyone walked to a few rows of wooden chairs by the pool and sat down, chatting.

Seeing that Chu Luo had been pulled away, Wu Yiyao thought for a while and followed Li Qian.

“Miss Wu, you look very young. May I ask if you’re 25 years old?”

“I’m 26 this year.”

“Ah, you’re a year younger than Xiao Yu. You’re actually an Imperial University teacher at this age. Impressive.”

The two of them had just sat in the pavilion for a while and hadn’t drunk much tea when they saw Shang Yu walk over from the other side.

Judging from his expression, he must have drunk a lot.

After he walked in, he greeted the two of them.

“Second Cousin-in-law, Little Yao, so you’re here.”

Li Qian looked at Shang Yu, whose face was a little red, and asked with a smile, “Xiao Yu, why are you here?”

Shang Yu also smiled and said, “Those people drank too fiercely. I couldn’t take it anymore, so I came out to take a breather.”

Li Qian suddenly asked worriedly, “Is your second cousin okay?”

“He’s a little drunk too. The etiquette company is holding it up for us now.”

Li Qian was still a little worried, so she said to Wu Yiyao, “Little Wu, sit alone for a while. I’m a little worried. I’ll come back after taking a look.”

Wu Yiyao nodded.

Li Qian left.

After Li Qian left, Shang Yu didn’t leave. Instead, he walked over and sat opposite Wu Yiyao. The two of them started chatting casually.

“Little Yao, have you recovered?”

Wu Yiyao nodded. “Mm.”

Shang Yu was very happy and sighed. “That’s great. Previously, when we were in Germany, I felt awful every time I saw you weak. At that time… every time I saw you, I didn’t dare to get too close to you.”

Wu Yiyao picked up the teacup in front of her and stared at the steaming water.

Shang Yu stared at her and recalled their time in Germany.

Then, he said in a slightly sad tone, “Do you remember what I said to you before I returned to the country? I liked you and was willing to take care of you for the rest of my life… At that time, you rejected me because you were sick.. I didn’t expect… I didn’t expect that when we met again, you already had a boyfriend.”
