Lord Chu's Wife Is Wild Chapter 438 - Xian Ya, Xian Jing

Chapter 438: Xian Ya, Xian Jing

“Of course I know.”

Lu Zhou walked to a chair and sat down. He said calmly, “However, before we find evidence, he’s still the one who practiced the forbidden techniques.”

Lan Yi smiled when he heard that.

Qing Yi always scolded Lu Zhou for being ungrateful and wasting Chunyu Dong’s kindness on him.

However, Lan Yi always believed that Lu Zhou was not that kind of person.

Lu Zhou would believe Lord Chunyu.

Indeed, he trusted Lord Chunyu.

Lord Chunyu would definitely be very pleased if he knew.

“Master, what happened to Bailian?”

Lan Yi s.h.i.+fted his gaze to the State Minister, who was sound asleep on the couch.

Lu Zhou shook his head. “I can’t find out who injured him, but I can tell that the person who injured him wasn’t an ordinary person.”

“Disciple! Where’s my disciple?”

The window suddenly opened and a shadow flashed in.

The first thing he said was to find his disciple.

“Elder Sen, you’re here.”

Lu Zhou stood up and greeted the person.

“Peak Master Lu, what happened to my disciple?”

When Elder Sen saw the State Minister on the couch, his eyes widened.

“I’m not sure either.”

Lu Zhou stood up and walked forward. He explained in a deep voice, “My disciple and nephew discovered him. I’ve seen him. His meridians are broken, and his spirit meridians are damaged. However, I’ve already repaired his spirit meridians with Senior… Chunyu Dong. However, if he wants to wake up, you have to send him back to the source.”

Elder Sen frowned and clenched his fists. He gritted his teeth and said, “If I find out who it is, I won’t let him off easily!”

“Chunyu Dong has already gone to investigate. Bailian’s health is more important. Elder Sen, send him back to the source to recuperate first.”

The lotus pond under the Green Peak was where the State Minister was born. There was a lot of spiritual energy there. As long as he was sent back there, he should be able to wake up in less than two months.

Elder Sen nodded and bowed. “I’ll get Lian Er to come over and thank you personally when he wakes up!”

Lu Zhou smiled and nodded.

Elder Sen picked up the State Minister and looked at Lu Zhou again. “If you find any traces of the person who injured my disciple, please inform me.”

“Definitely.”

When Elder Sen heard that, he carried him and jumped out of the window. Then, he quickly disappeared into the night.

Lu Zhou stood in front of the window and stared at the night sky. After a while, he locked the window and left with Lan Yi.

Downstairs, Shangguan Dian, Lu Sheng, and Chu Sihan were drinking tea.

Seeing the two come down, Lu Sheng looked curiously at Lan Yi and smiled at Lu Zhou. “Master!”

“Yes.”

Lu Zhou nodded slightly and introduced her to Lan Yi. “This is my disciple.”

When Lan Yi heard that, he finally straightened his att.i.tude and bowed. “Lan Yi greets Little Master!”

Lu Sheng was shocked and immediately scratched her head in embarra.s.sment. “You’re welcome.”

Shangguan Dian glanced upstairs and raised his eyebrows. “Has Elder Sen been here?”

“Yes.” Lu Zhou nodded slightly. “He has taken him away.”

“So fast?”

Shangguan Dian tsked lightly. “Elder Sen is quite concerned about his disciple.”

Lu Sheng smiled and said, “He’s his disciple. Of course, he’ll be concerned. Master, don’t you think so?”

“Yes!”

Lu Zhou smiled faintly and raised his hand to touch Lu Sheng’s head. Chu Sihan suddenly reached out and subconsciously pulled Lu Sheng to his side.

Lu Zhou stared at his raised hand and then at Chu Sihan. He raised his eyebrows with a faint smile.

Did this kid forget who his little girl was?

Chu Sihan coughed lightly and said lightly, “Uncle-Master Lu, shouldn’t we return to our original inn?”

Lan Yi looked at Chu Sihan and asked hesitantly, “Master, Lord Chu is…”

If he remembered correctly, his master was currently the Third Prince of Xuan Yue Country, and Chu Sihan was merely Prime Minister Fu’s nephew.

Even if the two of them were related, they could only be superior and subordinate. Why did Chu Sihan call Lu Zhou ‘Uncle-Master’?

Could it be that his master had acknowledged a master in the human world, and Chu Sihan’s father had the same master as his master’s father?

Seeing his confusion, Lu Zhou hurriedly explained, “Oh, he’s Yan Han.”

Lan Yi was shocked and immediately understood.

“So Lord Chu is actually His Highness Yan Han. I was blind and couldn’t tell. Please don’t blame me, Your Highness Yan Han!”

Chu Sihan smiled lightly. “It’s alright.”

He had a mortal body now, so it was normal for Lan Yi to not be able to tell.

Lu Zhou looked at them and said lightly, “Let’s go back to the inn.”

Lu Sheng and the rest nodded before leaving the inn.

They came and went in a hurry. The shopkeeper was confused.

“Isn’t there a patient upstairs? If they leave, what will happen to that patient?”

A waiter beside the shopkeeper asked curiously.

The shopkeeper’s expression changed slightly and he hurried upstairs.

He carefully pushed open the door to the guest room and saw that it was silent.

“Shopkeeper, what’s wrong?”

The waiter who followed him curiously probed inside.

The shopkeeper walked in. When he saw that there was no one inside, he heaved a sigh of relief.

He was so nervous because he was afraid that they would throw the dead person here and frame him.

Thankfully, there was no blood smell or corpse in the room.

“Huh?”

The waiter looked surprised. “There’s no one in the room?”

The shopkeeper said faintly, “He must have woken up and left through the window.”

They had just left when a figure suddenly appeared in the room.

Looking at the empty bed, the person narrowed his eyes.

After a while, another red figure appeared.

She was a s.e.xy woman wearing red clothes and heavy makeup.

“We were still too late. He actually escaped!”

The woman’s voice was shrill from her anger.

The person who arrived first was a tall and average-looking man.

He stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back and frowned silently.

“Brother, what should we do now? If Bailian escapes, our matter will be exposed.”

The woman walked up to the man and spoke in a deep voice.

“Who saved him?”

The man frowned and said unhappily, “I didn’t expect Bailian to appear in this small town.”

“I heard something.”

The woman leaned against the window, revealing her fair and long legs.

She looked down at the dark night and said softly, “I heard that Bailian is the State Minister of Xuan Yue Country.”

“The State Minister?”

The man frowned. “What has this got to do with his appearance here?”

“Yes, of course!”

The woman raised her almond-shaped eyes and looked at the man. “It’s said that the Crown Prince of Xuan Yue Country wants to usurp the throne and created a batch of weapons in this town. As the State Minister, Bailian naturally has the responsibility to protect the safety of the Emperor of Xuan Yue Country.”

The man narrowed his eyes. “You’re saying that Bailian appeared here to investigate matter of the weapons created by the Crown Prince?”

The woman nodded. “Yes!”

“It seems like they’re not after us.”

A vexed expression appeared on the man’s face. “We shouldn’t have alerted him if we knew.”

He had thought that the State Minister was investigating them, thus he had injured him.

It seemed like they were too rash.

If Bailian told the Immortal World about them, the siblings would definitely not be able to escape.

“Why don’t I capture that shopkeeper and ask him who saved Bailian?”

The woman looked at the man and narrowed her eyes.

“Don’t make too much noise.”

“Don’t worry.”

The woman sneered and jumped down from the window.

When she reappeared, she was already at the entrance of the inn.

The night market was closed and the streets were empty. There were only one or two drunkards wandering around.

The shopkeeper was dozing when he saw a flash of red from the corner of his eye.

He shuddered and woke up immediately.

Under the light, a beautiful woman in red walked in.

“Are you staying here?”

The shopkeeper sized up the woman and swallowed his saliva before asking ingratiatingly.

The woman’s lips curved into a charming smile. She leaned against the counter lightly and said charmingly, “I’m staying.”

As she spoke, her slender and fair fingers brushed the back of the shopkeeper’s hand seemingly unintentionally.

The shopkeeper’s heart constricted and his eyes lit up.

“I’ll bring you over now.”

“I want to stay in the last inn. Can I…?”

The woman smiled and retracted her hand.

“Yes, yes, of course! Please!”

The woman smiled faintly and walked upstairs first.

The eyes of the shopkeeper and the waiters reddened.

When the shopkeeper saw this, he hurried after her.

“This inn has just been vacated. I’ll clean it for you first.”

The shopkeeper smiled and walked in first.

The woman’s smile gradually turned cold. After entering, she waved her hand and locked the door.

The shopkeeper who was walking in front suddenly turned his head and realized that there was another man besides the woman behind him.

He shuddered in fear and fell to the ground.

“Who… who are you?”

He did not see this man just now. What was going on?

The woman pulled a chair over and sat down. She crossed her legs and looked at the man. “Don’t worry. As long as you answer our questions obediently, you’ll be fine.”

“You… what do you want to ask?”

The woman raised her eyebrow at the man.

The man understood and asked the shopkeeper, “Where’s the patient who lived in this room?”

The shopkeeper was puzzled. He did not know who the monk was and why everyone was looking for him.

However, he still said truthfully, “He has already left.”

“Left?”

The man frowned. “Are you sure you saw him leave?”

The shopkeeper nodded, then shook his head.

The woman frowned and said unhappily, “Make yourself clear.”

The shopkeeper was shocked. He felt that if he did not say what this beauty wanted, he would be killed in the next second.

“I… I didn’t see him leave personally, but I didn’t see him when I came in.”

The man narrowed his eyes. “If there’s a guest in this room, why would you come in?”

“Because… the two young people who sent the monk here have already paid the bill and checked out. That’s why I came in.”

The woman and the man looked at each other. The man continued asking, “What did the two young people look like?”

When the shopkeeper heard that, he pondered for a while before saying, “That man looks to be in his early twenties. He’s extremely handsome and was wearing a black s.h.i.+rt. That girl looks to be sixteen or seventeen years old. She’s extremely beautiful and was wearing a white dress. She even had a red fox fur cloak draped over her.”

When the duo heard that, their frowns deepened.

The shopkeeper looked at the two of them and said in realization, “Oh right, there were two other men who had the same charisma and looks. One was dressed in black, the other in white. They had silver hair.”

The woman looked at the man, but the man shook his head, indicating that he could not figure out who these two people were.

“It might be someone from the royal family of the human world,” the man guessed softly.

After all, Bailian was the State Minister of Xuan Yue Country. If he was injured, the royal family would definitely be anxious.

The woman said indifferently, “If he was only saved by a mortal, there’s nothing to worry about.”

The State Minister was severely injured. Unless he was sent back to the source to recuperate, he would probably never wake up again in this lifetime.

The people in the mortal world did not know Bailian’s true ident.i.ty. Even if they knew, they could not find the way to enter the Immortal World.

Hence, there was nothing to worry about if he was saved by those mortals.

However, if the person who saved Bailian was from the Immortal World, the siblings would probably be in trouble.

“I… Can I go now?”

The shopkeeper could not understand their conversation. Seeing that they had stopped talking, he asked carefully.

He wanted to continue telling them about the three people who came later, but on account of the ten taels of silver, he decided to keep it a secret for them.

One could tell that the man and woman in front of him were not simple people. If they were enemies of that guest, wouldn’t he be repaying kindness with ingrat.i.tude?

The woman glanced at him and said lightly, “Get lost.”

“Yes, yes! I’ll get lost now!”

The shopkeeper hurriedly got up from the ground and scrambled out of the guest room.

Outside the door, everyone looked at him ambiguously when they saw his pathetic state.

“Shopkeeper, you have good luck with women!”

“That’s right. You’re lucky to have such a beauty.”

“It’s just that things happened quite quickly.”

…

Instantly, the waiters teased.

The shopkeeper could not voice his bitterness.

He wanted to say something, but he was afraid that the two inside would get angry and kill him.

If he did not say it, he would feel extremely aggrieved.

Everyone outside thought that he was enjoying himself inside. Little did they know that he almost peed his pants.

“What are you talking about? Hurry up and get to work!”

The shopkeeper shouted at them and returned to the front desk gloomily.

After the shopkeeper walked out of the guest room, the woman in red looked up at the man and said, “Brother, do we need to find those people?”

“Not for now.”

The man said faintly, “Let’s take a look first. If Bailian was saved by a mortal, forget it. If it’s someone from the Immortal World… Then, we’ll return to the Immortal World and find the place where he was born.”

The woman nodded and left through the window with the man.

Chunyu Dong stood not far away and looked thoughtfully in the direction where the duo left.

“Master, it’s Xian Ya and Xian Jing,” said Qing Yi softly.

Chunyu Dong said calmly, “It seems like Bailian’s injury is related to the siblings.”

Qing Yi’s eyes were cold. “If not for them, Master would not have been kicked out of the Five Peaks by Sect Master!”
