Chapter 2284 - 2284 Alarm
2284 Alarm
Why does this back view look a little familiar?
Ming Shu looked up and saw that Chu Liuyue had already walked out of the room. At this moment, she was leaning against the door frame with her arms crossed as she looked over lazily.
His heart skipped a beat as he hurriedly turned around and closed the door. Then, he looked at Chu Liuyue again and chuckled. “Miss Shangguan, why are you out so early?”
As he asked, Ming Shu was secretly shocked. Madam’s strength seems to have improved again. When she came out just now, I actually didn’t notice it at all! If I had known that I would bump into her when I left, I would definitely have been more careful!
Chu Liuyue smiled faintly and said, “It’s nothing. It’s just that the Xuan formations are almost done being replicated this time, and I’m about to go back. It’s just that I haven’t seen Lord Ming Shu, so I said I wanted to take a look.”
Her gaze landed on the tightly shut door behind Ming Shu. “The person inside… is the Second Boss?”
Ming Shu couldn’t say that he wasn’t. “Miss Shangguan is indeed smart.”
It wasn’t difficult to guess. At this time, there were very few people who could go up to the second floor. When Ming Shu came out, his expression was still quite respectful.
Naturally, one could tell that person’s identity.
Chu Liuyue took a step forward and said, “Since it’s such a coincidence today, then… I wonder if Second Boss has time to meet me?”
Her voice rose slightly. Although she was looking at Ming Shu, it was obvious that she was talking to the person inside.
…
When Yan Ge—who was in the room—heard this, his heart pounded wildly. He anxiously began to look for a place to hide, wondering where it was more suitable.
Or should I just run away? How did she see it? Logically speaking, she shouldn’t have been able to tell anything from that glance, right? However, Madam has always been sharp-eyed and is extremely familiar with me. If she really saw something…
Yan Ge secretly regretted it. Why did I call Ming Shu over at this time? It wasn’t too late to wait for Madam to leave!
Just as he was feeling anxious, Ming Shu’s voice came from outside. “This… Miss Shangguan, our Second Boss’s body—”
“Second Boss hasn’t recovered yet?”
“Yes, yes. Second Boss isn’t in good spirits now. He probably won’t be able to see you.”
Chu Liuyue laughed. “Isn’t this a coincidence? I just broke through to become a Supreme Physician some time ago. I can take Second Boss’s pulse. Zhen Bao Pavilion has helped me so much; I’ve always felt very bad. If I can help Second Boss a little, it’ll be very good.”
Ming Shu paused and spoke hesitantly. “Miss Shangguan, we appreciate your kindness, but… Second Boss has an old problem. I’ve already invited a Medical Saint over to take a look. There’s no big problem; he just needs to rest well. You’ve just copied those Xuan formations, so you probably need to rest now. How can I trouble you?”
Chu Liuyue raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Ming Shu quietly. There was a hint of scrutiny in those eyes.
Previously, she was only a little curious about this Second Boss, but now… it had changed to suspicion. I just want to meet him. Why is it so difficult? From Zhen Bao Pavilion’s attitude, this Second Boss definitely doesn’t hate me; otherwise, he wouldn’t have helped me like this. However, he refuses to see mee.
Being stared at by her with such a calm expression, Ming Shu felt his entire body tense up, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
After a long time, Chu Liuyue smiled and said, “Since it’s still inconvenient for Second Boss, forget it.”
Ming Shu heaved a long sigh of relief. “Thank you for your understanding, Miss Shangguan. If there’s a chance in the future, Second Boss will definitely treat you well.”
Chu Liuyue looked up slightly and said to the tightly shut door, “Second Boss, just take good care of yourself. I won’t disturb you today.”
With that, she turned and went downstairs.
Ming Shu hurriedly went to send her off.
Chu Liuyue stopped in her tracks and looked back with a smile. “Lord Ming, you don’t have to send me off. If you have the time and energy, you should take care of Second Boss more. It’s not good to keep resting like this, right?”
Ming Shu smiled awkwardly, and he could only stop and watch her leave.
Chu Liuyue walked out of Zhen Bao Pavilion and turned around to take another look.
The doors and windows on the second floor were tightly shut, and there was no movement at all.
She smiled thoughtfully. If I can’t see him today, I will see him sooner or later. I want to see how long this Second Boss plans to hide.
Putting away her thoughts, she walked toward Phoenix Mountain.
…
The surroundings of Fantasy Divine Hall were always cold and cheerless, and it was the same today.
Chu Liuyue came to the barrier, took out the jade token Yu Qian had given her, and placed it on the barrier.
Buzz—
The barrier opened.
She stepped into it without hesitation.
…
When she arrived at Phoenix Mountain, Tuan Zi was sitting on the top of the mountain. She supported her chin with one hand, and her cheeks were bulging, as if she was thinking about something.
“Tuan Zi,” Chu Liuyue called out.
Hearing the voice, Tuan Zi immediately looked up, and a big smile bloomed on her adorable face.
She got up quickly and ran over on her short legs. “A’Yue! You’re here!”
The moment Chu Liuyue landed, Tuan Zi had already pounced on her. She hugged her neck tightly with both hands and kept rubbing her head against her shoulder, taking another deep breath. “Ah! A’Yue smells so good!”
I haven’t smelled this smell for one day and one night!
Chu Liuyue was caught between laughter and tears. Seeing how happy she was, her heart ached.
Tuan Zi had always liked crowds. Staying here alone was indeed very uncomfortable for her.
“I missed Tuan Zi too, so I came today.” As she spoke, Chu Liuyue kissed her chubby face. “How does it feel for Tuan Zi to be here by yourself? Huh? Your aura seems to have improved?”
Chu Liuyue was shocked. How long has it been, yet there was such an obvious change?
Tuan Zi pouted. “Hmph, that’s all. I’m unhappy that A’Yue isn’t around.”
Since she was bored, she could only spend most of her time cultivating and strive to open her meridians as soon as possible.
Chu Liuyue sighed in her heart. “Phoenix Mountain… is indeed extraordinary.”
Tuan Zi’s cultivation today almost exceeded the past few days.
More importantly, because Phoenix Mountain was the territory of the red-gold heavenly phoenix ancestor, it was extremely efficient for Tuan Zi to cultivate here without any hidden dangers. This was much better than forcefully opening her meridians previously.
If this continued, she should really be able to open her seventh meridian very quickly.
“By the way, A’Yue, I think I saw something before…” Tuan Zi suddenly thought of something. She bit her finger and whispered into her ear, “I think so—”
Boom!
Before Tuan Zi could finish speaking, a loud bang suddenly came from Fantasy Divine Hall!
Chu Liuyue’s heart tightened, and she immediately looked up!
