Chapter 375 On The Way

This chapter is updated by Novels.pl

The third day.

When Xu Han came to Chu Chouli's room again, Chu Chouli's condition had deteriorated to an extremely serious degree.

He sat paralyzed at the wooden table with tea and cracked teacups sprinkled on the ground.

He struggled with all his might, wanting to stand up, but this seemed to be doomed to be in vain.

Seeing that, Xu Han hurriedly stepped forward to help Chu Chouli, whose face was pale, and poured him another cup of tea. Only then did he ask about Chu Chouli's situation.

"Brother Chu, how do you feel?"

The middle-aged man waved his hand with disappointment and said, "The King of Hell wants people to die at midnight, but he never left them alive at midnight. What's the difference between good and bad?"

Xu Han was silent. He knew that Chu Chouli knew the situation of Chu Chouli better than anyone else.

Chu Chouli, who was sitting at the wooden table, picked up his teacup and took a sip. He then glanced sideways at Xu Han and suddenly smiled, "Xiao Han, do me another favor."

…

According to Chu Chouli's request, Xu Han went to the market to buy two dice insects and several dice.

Yu Yan Zhan borrowed dozens of loose money before returning to Chu Chouli's room.

Chu Chouli smiled at Xu Han once again after receiving these things. Then, he extended his hand to signal Xu Han to sit on the opposite side of him.

Xu Han naturally wouldn't reject Chu Chouli's intentions. He sat at the side of the wooden table and looked calmly at the man in front of him. In the end, he no longer scolded and laughed like usual. He only trembled his hands and carefully placed the two dice insects in his hands. Then, he placed the dice in his hands one after another into the dice insects.

This wasn't a difficult task, but the middle-aged man used half an incense stick to finish it. Because of this, his forehead was covered in dense sweat, but he did not seem to notice it, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

After doing this, he handed one of the Dice Gu to Xu Han, drew a penny from the pile of loose money that Xu Han gave him on the table and placed it in front of him, then held the other Dice Gu in his hand.

He began to shake the Dice Gu. Xu Han recovered from his shock and shook the Dice Gu in his hand.

After ten breaths of time, the Dice Gu stopped. Chu Chouli and Xu Han simultaneously mentioned their respective Dice Gu, and at that moment, the contents of the Dice Gu appeared between the two of them.

Chu Chouli, three, four, three.

Xu Han, June 54th.

Seeing this, Chu Chouli smiled bitterly and shook his head. Then, he handed the copper plate to Xu Han. Then, he placed another copper plate down in front of him and looked up at Xu Han. Although he was speechless, the urging in his eyes forced Xu Han to shake the Dice Gu in his hand again.

…

Xu Han borrowed a total of seventy to eighty silver coins. Every single copper coin was a game, and the results were all without exception. Chu Chouli was the loser.

Xu Han gradually understood Chu Chouli's intentions. The expression on his face changed from suspicion to eccentricity, from eccentricity to surprise. The man sitting opposite him, however, had a calm and indifferent gaze. It was as if all of this was within his expectations.

Very quickly, Chu Chouli had lost all his money.

At that time, he carefully placed the Dice Gu in his hand to the side and raised his eyes to look at Xu Han again.

It was a gaze that lasted for about a hundred breaths.

Chu Chouli's gaze was still calm, but Xu Han was slightly uncomfortable.

He was not suitable for the silence of a man at this moment, nor was he suitable for the passage of every breath. It meant that a man was a step closer to death.

It was destined not to be a pleasant experience.

In other words, every breath was a torment for Xu Han.

But in the end, he did not say anything to break the silence that almost suffocated him.

At that time, the middle-aged man finally spoke again.

His gaze became deep, like the water of a flood dragon, bottomless.

His tone became long, as if he had traveled through tens of thousands of years before arriving here.

"Actually, there are many secrets hidden in this world, and there are countless sects hiding outside the mortal world, such as the Taoist Green Lotus Temple …"

Hearing this, Xu Han raised his eyebrows and said, "Another example is the Thieving Saint Sect?"

Chu Chouli's body was slightly stunned at that moment, and a bitter smile appeared on his pale face.

"Xiao Han, you're really smart."

After finishing this exclamation, the middle-aged man saw that Xu Han had no intention of answering. His gaze darkened and he said again, "The sect is in seclusion. They don't ask anything about the world. Most likely, they only have one purpose-to find the path to longevity."

"Throughout the ages, there have been countless geniuses and geniuses everywhere, but no one has found the path. However, most secluded sects have their own attempts. I thought that although the Thieving Saint Sect could not compare to those sects' great undertakings, they have traveled farther than anyone else on this path."

After saying that, Chu Chouli's gaze became even more profound. "My master, Qing Yi's father, Ran Lin Zhen. The twenty-sixth generation descendant of the Thieving Saint Clan. He is a genius. He used the Heaven Deceiving and Life Secreting methods of the Thieving Saint Clan to find a secret technique that can fool the heavens and prevent tribulations from happening."

"In his words, immortal life is endless, lightning tribulation obstructs it, lightning tribulation is endless, so an immortal will die in the end."

He even built a wooden chest called the Heaven Concealing Box. He relied on this place to let a heavily injured immortal escape the heavenly tribulation for several years. Only after his cultivation had improved and he had the confidence to resist the heavenly tribulation did he walk out of it and successfully resist the heavenly tribulation. This success gave Master great encouragement. He was more and more devoted to the research of this secret technique. He saw that the Sacred Bandit Sect was about to ascend to the heavens in a single step, but it was just that Tian Rong could not accept it. The Sacred Bandit Sect was facing a great calamity … "

"On that day, a group of black-clothed men entered the Sacred Bandit Sect and killed more than a hundred people from the sect. Only when Master and I were hidden in the Heaven Concealing Box did we escape this calamity …"

"So, you want revenge, right?" Hearing this, Xu Han couldn't help but ask with a deep gaze.

'"Someone Chu has a rotten life. If it weren't for Master taking care of me and Senior Brother taking care of me back then, I would have died in that corner long ago. They treated me like a mountain of kindness, so I naturally wanted to avenge them." Chu Chouli said this bluntly.

At that time, Xu Han's gaze became gloomier and gloomier. He asked, "So the bet you placed on me is your capital for revenge, right?"

This wasn't something that was too hard to guess.

Chu Chouli was still obsessed with this until his death. Obviously, for Chu Chouli, this was a matter that he could risk his life for. In the past few days, the most risky thing that this middle-aged man had done was to choose to stand on Xu Han's side during the Chang'an Incident.

With this, Xu Han could easily guess the relationship between the two.

However, he still did not understand what kind of role he was playing in Chu Chouli's gamble.

It was obvious that Chu Chouli had no intention of rejecting it. He glanced at Xu Han and asked, "Xiao Han, do you hate me?"

Along the way, Chu Chouli could be considered to have witnessed all of Xu Han's experiences, especially after the Chang'an change, although Xu Han appeared to be the same Xu Han on the surface. He still had his usual appearance, but Chu Chouli could not be clearer about the gloominess in his words.

He knew very well what betrayal and exploitation meant to Xu Han.

However, Xu Han did not answer the man's question. Instead, he asked, "Who is your enemy?"

At that time, the youth's gaze was calm, like spring water in March. Gubo was not shocked.

However, his tone was like the night breeze at the end of September and autumn. On the surface, it was warm and cool, but behind it was a sharp and cold wind and snow.

Chu Chouli seemed to be unable to understand the meaning of the youth's words at the first possible moment. He was slightly stunned, but in the end, he shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "That is an opponent that no one can defeat."

"I want to give it a try." Just as he said this, Xu Han's voice sounded again.

Chu Chouli was stunned again. This was an answer that exceeded his expectations.

Therefore, he had no choice but to raise his eyes to look at the youth, trying to see what he was thinking from the expression on the youth's face.

This was a very unreasonable matter.

In reason, it was Chu Chouli who took advantage of Xu Han.

Although this kind of exploitation has not yet become an established fact, it has actually existed. Chu Chouli felt guilty about this more than once. When he was about to die, he said this in order to seek peace of mind. It was precisely because of this that he couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

The youth's answer was unexpectedly simple.

"Because you are Big Brother Chu."

The expression on the man's face slightly froze when he heard this. Then, he frowned and lifted the corners of his mouth. He grinned sincerely. Just like when they first met.

"Actually, I don't have any hopes for this matter. The enemies of the Sacred Thieving Sect are far more terrifying than you think. From the bottom of my heart, I don't want you to meet them one day."

"Believe it or not, the bet I placed on you is not so much the capital of revenge as a thought for myself."

Xu Han could not fully understand what Chu Chouli meant. He said with a deep brow, "Who is the enemy of the Bandit Saint Sect?"

He really couldn't understand what kind of existence could make life so desperate that he didn't even dare to keep the slightest hope of defeating his opponent in his heart.

Chu Chouli raised his head and looked out of the window. There were blue skies and white clouds, and birds would occasionally swim in them.

Then he opened his mouth and said bitterly.

"Do you remember the lightning tribulation on your way to Linglong Pavilion?"

Xu Han's body trembled when he said those words. His pupils suddenly dilated at that time, and his gaze towards Chu Chouli instantly became surprised.

The atmosphere in the room was silent for dozens of breaths.

After a long time, Xu Han asked again, "Since that's the case, why are you still doing this?"

This time, Xu Han's voice finally changed. It was as bitter as Chu Chouli's tone.

The man pondered for a while with a pale face before answering the youth's question.

"Actually, Yuan Guilong, Headmaster, and Lin Shou can't even defeat that thing."

"No one has ever fought against that thing, but someone Chu still has to do something…"

"Even if I know that this path is the wrong path and the path of death, I still have to go down."

"Because only on the road will I feel that I am worthy of master, senior brother, and myself…"
