Chapter 341 - Just One
Chapter 341: Just One
Shangguan Dian did not know what a food stall was, but when he heard the words ‘for a drink,’ he knew that it was probably a place that sold food and drinks.
He was extremely regretful when he heard that he had missed out on good food.
However, if he did not return back then, the Demon Realm would have been gone.
At that time, his parents were still around and he was not the Demon King yet.
A few days after he left the Demon Realm, he heard from his subordinate that his uncle had murdered his parents to usurp the throne.
When he returned, his uncle, Shangguan Lin, had already escaped to the human world to hide due to his serious injuries.
In order to avenge his parents, he personally went to the human world. Later, when he found Shangguan Lin, he was blinded by hatred and was controlled by his mental demons.
During the fight with Shangguan Lin, some citizens were implicated.
Later on, the Masters of the Five Peaks and the King of Hades collaborated to control him.
In order to atone for his sins, he had sealed himself for hundreds of years. Before entering a deep sleep, he was afraid that the demons of the Demon Realm would escape and harm the human world. He even instructed Lu Zhou to seal the entire Demon Realm.
“If you had told me back then, you wouldn’t have killed those people.”
Lu Zhou sipped his wine and spoke gloomily.
Shangguan Dian smiled bitterly. “I wouldn’t have thought of anything else back then.”
When he returned to the Demon Realm and saw his parents who had died tragically, he only wanted to find his enemy with his own hands and kill him personally. He would not have thought of getting anyone else’s help.
Lu Zhou sighed faintly and said lightly, “Thankfully, not many people died back then. Those who were injured were saved by my Junior Brother.”
“In order to atone for your sins, I even specially begged Senior Brother to arrange for those people to enter the cycle of reincarnation first. Furthermore, I also found them better families as compensation for the remaining half of their lives in their previous lives.”
“Thank you!”
Shangguan Dian sighed softly. He picked up his cup of wine and took a sip silently, his eyes slightly red.
He had lived for more than ten thousand years and had countless friends. However, Lu Zhou was the only one he could talk to wholeheartedly.
Lu Zhou patted his shoulder and consoled him silently.
…
The next day.
When Lu Sheng yawned and came out, she realized that Lu Ran had already prepared breakfast.
Lu Zhou, Shangguan Dian, Lu Jiang, and Lu Xin were already sitting at the table, waiting.
“Ah Sheng, bring the noodles out for me after you’re done washing up.”
“Okay!”
Lu Sheng replied and carried the noodles out.
After breakfast, Lu Sheng took out the red packets Lu Zhou gave the three of them. “This is from Master. One for each of you.”
“I’ll put mine at Second Sister’s.”
Upon hearing Lu Jiang’s words, Lu Xin hurriedly said, “I’ll put mine at Second Sister’s too.”
“Okay, I’ll save them for you first.”
“Ah Sheng, I think…”
Lu Ran looked at her and hesitated.
“Brother, if you have anything to say, say it.”
Ever since last night, Lu Sheng had felt that there was something wrong with Lu Ran’s expression.
It was not that he was unhappy, but his expression was complicated.
After Lu Ran received the red packet, he lowered his eyes and said calmly, “I want to go to the government office.”
How could Lu Sheng not understand?
She smiled faintly. “If Brother wants to go, go ahead. Ah Jiang, Xinxin, and I won’t go.”
She did not want to see Lu Dahua, much less Lu Ning and Mdm Liu.
Lu Ran nodded. “I’ll make a trip there and will be back soon. I won’t be home for lunch. Treat the Third Prince and that Lord Yao well.”
Lu Sheng nodded. “Be careful.”
After speaking to Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian, Lu Ran went to the stable to bring the horse out. Then, he left the Lu family in a carriage.
