Chapter 233: He wants her to become Lu Shiyan's concubine?!

The moment of farewell was near, and Lu Ying was unwilling to bring up those unpleasant matters of the past.

Thus, he held the girl's hand and silently kissed her fingertips.

Just then, the distant sound of a bell echoed from outside the hall—it was already the hour of Yin in the early dawn.

This was the appointed time between him and Lu Shiyan.

"Lu Ying—"

Shen Yinning wanted to ask further, but Lu Ying's hand struck swiftly at the side of her neck; she had no time to react before fainting.

The tolling bell of the Buddhist temple reverberated throughout, like urging voices calling aloud.

Lu Ying gazed at the unconscious girl in his arms. The thought of sending her to Lu Shiyan, knowing they would never meet again in this lifetime, tore at his heart so violently it felt as though it were being ripped apart. The pain was unbearable.
