Chapter 443 - The Luck of This Lifetime
Chapter 443: The Luck of This Lifetime
Sect Master Kong glanced at Lu Zhou indifferently and returned his gaze to Chunyu Dong.
Wen Yin stood at the side and pursed her red lips. She stared at Chunyu Dong.
For a moment, only the faint sounds of puppets could be heard.
Lu Sheng looked around. Then, she smiled and said to Sect Master Kong,
“Well… Grandmaster, saving people is more important now. Let’s think of a way to save these people first.”
The moment she spoke, Sect Master Kong’s stern gaze moved from Chunyu Dong to her.
Sect Master Kong’s expression softened immediately. “I’ll listen to you. Save the people first.”
Lu Sheng grinned.
Lu Zhou and Chunyu Dong looked at her at the same time. One was envious, while the other was grateful.
Sect Master Kong always told them that strict teachers produce outstanding students, so he was exceptionally strict with his three disciples.
Even though Wen Yin was a girl, he rarely showed her a good attitude.
It was his first time seeing Lu Sheng today. It was rare for him to be so amiable.
Of course, Lu Zhou was both envious and relieved.
After all, she was his daughter. He was naturally happy that his master liked his daughter.
“Master, what should we do next?”
Sect Master Kong pondered for a moment and looked at them. “I’ll write a prescription later. Follow the prescription and get the medicine.”
“Leave the task of getting the medicine to me.”
Lu Zhou looked at Lu Sheng and said, “Disciple, I’ll leave this to you and Young Master Han for now. I’ll go back to the inn with your grandmaster and aunt-master first.”
Lu Sheng nodded. “Okay, Master. Take care!”
“Master, I…”
Wen Yin glanced at Chunyu Dong and looked at Sect Master Kong hesitantly.
Sect Master Kong’s face darkened and he snorted coldly. However, he had no intention of stopping them. Instead, he waved his hand and left with Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian.
Before Lu Zhou left, he specially raised an eyebrow at Chunyu Dong.
Chunyu Dong sighed and said to Wen Yin, “Let’s go.”
Wen Yin smiled. She nodded at Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan before leaving with Chunyu Dong.
Lu Sheng found a seat and sat down. Looking at their backs, she mumbled, “Aunt-Master definitely likes Uncle-Master a lot.”
“How can you tell?”
Chu Sihan sat beside her and asked casually.
“Sixth sense.”
Upon hearing this answer, Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows slightly. “Sixth sense? What’s that?”
Lu Sheng pondered and said, “Ah… It’s a type of feeling. It can also be called sensing. In the place where I lived in my previous life, this was called sixth sense.”
Chu Sihan smiled lightly and stared at her profile. “Then… Can your sixth sense tell anything from my eyes?”
Lu Sheng tilted her head and looked at him. She raised her eyebrows in confusion. “Lord, why are you suddenly asking this?”
“Can’t I ask?”
“Yes.”
“What did you see?”
Lu Sheng stared at him for a long time before speaking slowly. “Light…” And me!
Of course, she did not finish her sentence.
Instead, she smiled and said, “The things in your eyes are intuitive. One can tell with their eyes. There’s no need to use sixth sense.”
“Really?”
Chu Sihan smiled and continued asking, “What about my heart? Can Sheng Sheng tell what’s in my heart with her sixth sense?”
“Of course!”
Lu Sheng pursed her lips and smiled. “Lord is a magistrate. He naturally cares about the safety of the citizens.”
Chu Sihan’s smile faded and he fell silent.
The sudden cold atmosphere made Lu Sheng uneasy.
“Lord, are you… alright?”
“I’m fine.”
Chu Sihan laughed at himself. “I just feel that I’m a failure as a human.”
He felt that he was quite successful when he was a ghost.
No, before meeting Lu Sheng, he was quite a successful person.
He had a smart head, a handsome appearance, and was also a high and mighty magistrate.
There were girls who wanted to marry him. Not only were there girls from the entire Xuan Yue Country, but there were also some from Huang Yang Town to the capital.
Why did it seem like all his sense of superiority disappeared instantly when it came to this girl?
How vexing.
“Lord, how are you a failure?”
Lu Sheng disapproved and made an example. “Look, you have power, authority, talent, and looks. The netherworld belongs to you. Isn’t that great?”
“Unlike me…”
She pouted and said in a low voice, “I can only suffer wherever I go. My only luck is probably meeting Lu Zhou, my master.”
“The only… luck?”
Chu Sihan frowned. “Am I not one of your luck?”
Lu Sheng was slightly stunned. Then, she smiled and said, “Of course. Master was my luck in my previous life, but Lord is my luck in this lifetime.”
That’s more like it!
Upon hearing this, Chu Sihan’s gloomy mood immediately brightened.
“From now on, I’ll be your luck in every lifetime!”
Lu Sheng’s smile froze. Then, she raised her eyebrows and asked with a faint smile, “So, Lord has already decided to live with me for lifetimes?”
Chu Sihan nodded slightly and said with a gentle gaze, “Yes!”
He did not know when it started, but he suddenly felt that this lifetime of companionship was too short. He was greedy and wanted to have lifetimes with her.
Lu Sheng’s heart jumped. She lowered her eyes slightly to hide the joy in them.
Then, she giggled and changed the topic. “The moon is so round today.”
Chu Sihan retracted his gaze from her face and looked up at the sky.
The clouds around the full moon were dyed red, and like blood, they covered the stars thinly.
After a long while, Chu Sihan said in a low voice, “It is beautiful, but it’s tainted with evil aura.”
Although it looked beautiful, it gave people an inexplicable fear.
At that moment, a cold breeze blew. Lu Sheng shuddered and crossed her arms hurriedly, rubbing her arms.
Suddenly, her body felt warm. She turned her head and saw a small blanket surrounding her.
Lu Sheng pulled the corner of the blanket and asked curiously, “Lord, where did you get this blanket from?”
“I prepared it previously. I didn’t expect it to be useful today.”
Chu Sihan retracted his hand and spoke faintly.
At this moment, Xian Jing, who was waiting for the town to descend into chaos, waited for a long time. When he saw the full moon rise into the sky, he still did not hear any movements.
He frowned and decided to take a look himself.
However, when he reached the street, it was empty.
Even the constables who patrolled the streets were nowhere to be seen.
After walking for a while, Xian Jing realized that there was a lady receiving guests at the entrance of a brothel not far away.
He strode forward and the lady standing outside the door welcomed him.
“Dear guest, would you like to come in for a drink?”
The smell of rouge filled his nose and Xian Jing frowned imperceptibly.
Any one of the fairies on the Five Peaks was much more beautiful than the ladies in the brothels of the human world.
Moreover, the fragrance of the fairies’ bodies was natural. They smelled much better than the thick smell of rouge.
He retreated and took out a gold ingot.
When those ladies saw the gold in his hand, their eyes lit up.
There were quite a lot of customers who came to the brothel to spend money. There were only a few who offered money immediately.
“Hey, ladies, quickly welcome this young master in.”
As there were no guests, the procuress, who was sitting in her room in a daze, hurried out to take a look when she heard the ladies’ voices.
When she came out, she saw the ingot in Xian Jing’s hand.
“No need.”
Xian Jing looked at the procuress and said, “I was passing by and wanted to ask you a question. As long as you answer, this is yours.”
When the procuress heard that, she hurried to the front and asked with widened eyes, “I wonder what’s the question you want to ask?”
Xian Jing scanned the street and asked in a deep voice, “Why is the street so empty today?”
Upon hearing this question, not only the procuress, but even the ladies at the side revealed gloomy expressions.
They all complained, “It’s all because the officials gave the order that bandits came to our Yong Fu Town to kill for money. They told us not to go out.”
As such, they did not even have a guest tonight.
Bandits?
Xian Jing frowned slightly. After throwing the ingot to the procuress, he strode away.
Shouldn’t the guards keep a tight watch if there were bandits?
However, there was no one on the street. It was obvious that the officials had issued a fake order.
Was it a coincidence, or did the officials know something?
Or was Bailian saved by the officials and told the truth to them?
Even so, it was impossible for those mortals to have the ability to stop those puppets.
Something must have gone wrong.
He frowned. After taking a few steps, he suddenly leaped up and disappeared into the night.
When Xian Jing reached the inn where the refugees were staying, his expression changed drastically.
He touched the boundary and tried to break it.
However, after exerting his full strength, the boundary only trembled slightly.
“It’s actually demonic power!”
He frowned slightly. Why would the people of the Demon Realm want to help the human world?
“Who’s there?”
Sensing the disturbance in the boundary, Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan stood up at the same time.
Seeing that the situation was amiss, Xian Jing hurriedly hid in the dark.
When he squinted at the two young people, he suddenly felt puzzled.
They looked like two mortals.
As for this boundary, it was set up with demonic power. It should not be them.
However…
These two people seemed to resemble the description of the inn’s shopkeeper.
Could they be the two who saved the State Minister?
Did they know people from the Demon Realm?
If that was the case, then it would probably be troublesome.
Chu Sihan scanned his surroundings and said lightly, “It should be a small bug that accidentally knocked into the boundary. It should be fine.”
Although he said that, he looked in the direction of Xian Jing sternly.
Lu Sheng was the same.
The duo retracted their gazes and returned to their original spots to continue sitting and waiting.
At this moment, Lu Sheng secretly took out the Communications Talisman and informed Lu Zhou of the situation.
On the other hand, Xian Jing could not help but be shocked when he saw the two of them leave.
He was certain that the two of them did not see him, but they should be able to sense that he was here.
These two young people were really extraordinary. No wonder they knew someone like Bailian.
Just as he was hesitating whether to take advantage of this opportunity to finish off these two young people, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Alarmed, he hurriedly hid behind a pillar.
After a while, a man and a woman approached.
After seeing their faces clearly, Xian Jing’s eyes widened immediately, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
They were Wen Yin and Chunyu Dong.
The two of them said something and smiled.
Xian Jing could not believe this scene.
He did not expect Wen Yin to still be able to chat and laugh with Chunyu Dong like before after his ‘big mistake.’
Wen Yin was the role model of the Immortal World. She had always abhorred evil. After knowing that Chunyu Dong had ‘secretly cultivated a forbidden technique,’ Xian Jing still could not forget her look of despair.
He had even complacently mocked Chunyu Dong back then. He did not expect Wen Yin to forgive him after decades!
Xian Jing gritted his teeth and wished he could pounce on Chunyu Dong and tear him into pieces.
However, he knew very well that he was no match for Chunyu Dong.
Could it be that the boundary with demonic power was set up by Chunyu Dong?
Although Chunyu Dong had always been cultivating immortal techniques in the Immortal World, he was a member of the Demon Realm. It was normal for him to possess demonic powers.
“Senior Brother, don’t worry. Wen Yin will find out the truth and clear your name.”
When the duo passed by Xian Jing, Wen Yin suddenly spoke.
However, Chunyu Dong smiled and said, “The truth doesn’t matter anymore. As long as you believe me!”
“I’ve never doubted you, Senior Brother. I know that you’re not that kind of person.”
The reason why she was in despair back then was not because she felt despair when she heard that Chunyu Dong was cultivating a forbidden technique. Instead, she felt despair when she heard that he had been expelled from the Five Peaks.
She had secretly admired Chunyu Dong since she was young. She had never spoken about it because she felt that they got along well as fellow disciples.
As long as she did not say anything, they would always be together. Even if they could not get married, she could still enjoy his meticulous care and love.
It was only later on when Chunyu Dong was accused of secretly cultivating a forbidden technique that they parted ways for the first time.
Moreover, she did not expect them to be apart for decades.
“Senior Brother, can I stay in the human world with you?”
Wen Yin stopped in her tracks and stared at Chunyu Dong’s back.
Chunyu Dong stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her. After a long while, he shook his head.
“You know Junior Brother too. He doesn’t like to stay in the Immortal World. Now, you have to take care of Green Peak. If you stay in the human world with me, I’m afraid Junior Brother will have some complaints.”
“Green Peak has a lot of capable people. Why would I be needed?”
Wen Yin strode forward and held Chunyu Dong’s arm. She said pitifully, “I don’t care. We haven’t seen each other for decades. I won’t leave you again!”
“You!”
Chunyu Dong poked her forehead dotingly and helplessly.
Xian Jing, who witnessed this scene, was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
Was this still the aloof beauty, Wen Yin?
This was obviously a girl who acted coquettishly and shamelessly in order to stay by her lover’s side.
Why did Chunyu Dong get this?
He would definitely snatch Wen Yin from Chunyu Dong!
