Chapter 437: The State Minister’s Injury

Chapter 437: The State Minister’s Injury

Lu Zhou tightened his grip on the box, still in disbelief.

“Are you sure that Lan Yi didn’t say anything at that time?”

“No.”

Shangguan Dian raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Ah Zhou, you dare not believe that Chunyu Dong is willing to return the contract to you? Or do you not believe that Lan Yi didn’t express his opinion when Chunyu Dong returned the contract to you?”

“Both.”

Lu Zhou sighed softly. “In the blink of an eye, decades have passed. Time flies.”

“You know that it’s been decades. It’s time for all the resentment to disappear.”

Shangguan Dian shifted his chair to the opposite side and said lightly, “I think it’s time for you to talk to Lan Yi.”

“You don’t blame him?” Shangguan Dian raised an eyebrow.

One had to know that during the Demon Realm’s chaos back then, Qing Yi and Lan Yi had contributed greatly.

“Didn’t I say so? It’s been decades. All grudges have disappeared. Besides…”

Shangguan Dian paused before smiling. “They were just used by someone.”

Lu Zhou smiled and kept the box with the contract.

“You’re right. I should talk to Lan Yi.”

Shangguan Dian raised an eyebrow. “Why not now?”

Lu Zhou shook his head. “Forget about today. Let’s wait till tomorrow.”

How could he not understand his Mythical Beast?

Lan Yi was probably in a mess right now. If he went to talk to him now, with his personality, it would probably backfire.

“Master, something big has happened!”

Lu Sheng’s anxious voice was suddenly heard from outside the door.

Lu Zhou stood up and hurriedly opened the door. He asked suspiciously, “Didn’t you go out with your Lord Chu? Why are you here?”

“Master, bad news!”

Lu Sheng said in a low voice, “We saw the State Minister outside the government office.”

Lu Zhou frowned. “So be it. What’s there to fuss about?”

“He’s severely injured!”

“What?”

Lu Zhou was shocked. “He’s badly injured?”

“Yes!”

Lu Sheng said with a grave expression, “Lord and I discovered him outside the gate of the government office. When we saw him, he was already on his last breath. Lord said that he cultivated the ghost path so he can’t save the State Minister. He wants to invite Master over.”

Shangguan Dian said suspiciously, “Who else in Yong Fu Town could harm Brother White Lotus except us?”

Lu Zhou frowned. “Could there be something else in Yong Fu Town?”

Other than them, there was only Chunyu Dong left.

However, Chunyu Dong would not do that. He was sworn friends with the State Minister’s master.

Logically speaking, the State Minister should also address him as Uncle-Master.

However, as Lu Zhou always called him Brother White Lotus, he also called the State Minister Brother White Lotus.

Actually, they were much older than the State Minister when it came to age.

Shangguan Dian said in a low voice, “Let’s go and take a look first.”

“Yes!”

Lu Sheng nodded and said anxiously, “Go over and take a look first. He’s already unconscious. He won’t respond no matter how much we call him.”

Lu Zhou nodded slightly. “Disciple, lead the way.”

Lu Sheng nodded and hurriedly led the way.

After Shangguan Dian closed the door, he hurriedly followed the two of them out of the inn.

“Where are they going in such a hurry?”

Chunyu Dong, who had followed Shangguan Dian over, looked suspiciously in the direction where the three of them had left.

“Lord Chunyu, do you want to follow them and take a look?” asked Lan Yi softly.

Chunyu Dong glanced at him and nodded.

Seeing that Chunyu Dong had agreed, Qing Yi naturally did not dare to have any objections.

They followed him here to see if Lu Zhou would accept Lan Yi’s contract.

They did not expect Lu Zhou to accept it.

Lan Yi heaved a sigh of relief. He, Chunyu Dong, and Qing Yi jumped off the roof and were about to leave when Lu Sheng returned.

Qing Yi followed for a while and said in a low voice, “Master, they seem to be heading towards the government office.”

Lan Yi frowned. “Could there be a big case in Yong Fu Town?”

Chunyu Dong smiled faintly. “Won’t we know when we go over and take a look?”

His powers were higher than Shangguan Dian’s and Lu Zhou’s. If he wanted to follow them, Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian would not easily discover them.

The three of them followed them and realized that Lu Zhou and the rest did not enter the government office. Instead, they entered a small inn not far from the government office.

The lights in the inn were still on. When they looked in from the entrance, they realized that there was no one in the hall.

Qing Yi frowned. “Why did Lu Zhou and the rest come to this lousy inn?”

Chunyu Dong was also very curious.

He whispered to the duo, “Wait here first. I’ll go over and take a look.”

“Yes!”

The duo agreed in unison.

“Dear guest, I’m so sorry! The guest rooms here are full. Please find another place.”

When the shopkeeper saw Chunyu Dong enter, he hurriedly reminded him politely.

Chunyu Dong glanced upstairs and secretly passed a silver ingot to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was stunned and hesitated. However, Chunyu Dong smiled faintly and said, “I’m not here to stay. I just want to ask you a small question.”

He gave her ten taels of silver for a small question?

Holding the silver, the shopkeeper’s eyes darted around before he chuckled. “May I know… what this guest wants to know?”

Chunyu Dong looked upstairs and asked softly, “What happened in the room that the three of them entered?”

The shopkeeper’s expression changed slightly and he hurriedly lowered his voice. “I don’t know what happened either. It was just that not long ago, two young people helped an unconscious monk in. That monk’s white robe was stained with blood. It was quite scary.”

Monk?

Chunyu Dong was stunned. Could it be…

He pursed his lips and hurried upstairs to the room Lu Zhou and the rest had entered.

“Hey ~”

Seeing him suddenly walk over, the shopkeeper wanted to stop him, but realized that Chunyu Dong had already gone upstairs.

He weighed the silver in his hand and decided not to poke his nose into other people’s business.

When Chunyu Dong pushed the door open and entered, everyone in the room looked over.

“Why are you here?” Lu Zhou asked unhappily.

Chunyu Dong walked to the couch and asked solemnly, “What happened?”

Lu Sheng looked suspiciously at him before looking at Lu Zhou.

Chu Sihan said lightly, “Sheng Sheng and I will go out for a while.”

Lu Zhou nodded.

After leaving the room, Lu Sheng asked in a low voice, “Lord, why did we come out?”

She wanted to see how her master and Lord Chunyu were doing.

Why did he look like an enemy sometimes and one of their own at others?

The old man’s world was really contradictory.

Chu Sihan smiled lightly. “As juniors, it’s not convenient for us to listen to some things.”

“Oh!”

Although she did not know what it was, since the Lord said that it was inconvenient for them to listen, it must be true.

“Shall we go downstairs for a walk?” she asked Chu Sihan with her eyebrow raised.

“Yes.”

When the two of them reached the entrance of the inn, they saw Qing Yi and Lan Yi loitering outside.

Instantly, the four of them looked at each other and did not speak.

“Hello!”

After a while, Lu Sheng spoke with a smile.

Lan Yi’s gaze landed on Lu Sheng and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

During the day, he was focused on Lu Zhou and did not pay much attention to Lu Sheng.

Now that he looked at her, he suddenly realized that she resembled Lu Zhou.

It was not that their appearances were similar, but their expressions were similar.

Could this be the reason why Lu Zhou accepted her as his disciple?

“Humph!”

Qing Yi snorted coldly and turned his back.

Lan Yi nodded at her.

No matter what, she was Lu Zhou’s disciple. As a contracted Mythical Beast, he could not be rude to his master’s disciple.

“Lord Chu, what happened up there?”

Lan Yi looked at Chu Sihan and asked faintly.

He had followed Chunyu Dong for decades and had a deep understanding of the human world.

Moreover, he had naturally heard of Chu Sihan’s deeds.

Hence, his attitude towards Chu Sihan was slightly polite.

When Qing Yi heard the Lan Yi’s question, he hurriedly pricked up his ears to listen to Chu Sihan’s answer.

Chu Sihan said coldly, “If the two of you want to know, you can go up and take a look yourself.”

“We would like to.”

Qing Yi pouted and mumbled.

Since their master told them to wait here, they did not dare to enter casually.

Chu Sihan glanced at him and said lightly, “We’ll take a walk first. Feel free to go ahead.”

Then, he held Lu Sheng’s hand and left the inn.

Qing Yi and Lan Yi looked at each other, then at the inn.

“Why don’t we go up and take a look?” suggested Qing Yi softly.

Lan Yi glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and then walked in.

Qing Yi smiled happily and hurried after him.

The duo knocked twice and the door opened after a while. It was Shangguan Dian.

Shangguan Dian was not surprised to see the two of them. After all, Chunyu Dong was here, so it was not surprising for them to appear here.

He turned sideways to let them in before closing the door.

In the room, Lu Zhou and Chunyu Dong were casting a spell to save someone.

When they saw the person on the couch clearly, Qing Yi was shocked.

He quickly asked Shangguan Dian in a low voice, “What happened to him?”

Shangguan Dian shrugged. “How would I know?”

Lan Yi frowned slightly. “He has a cultivation level of a thousand years. Why would he be injured like this in this small town?”

Shangguan Dian pondered and said, “Some unspeakable things should have arrived. As to why they came over, I don’t know.”

When Qing Yi and Lan Yi heard this, the two of them looked at each other again and saw the doubt in each other’s eyes.

“Have you told Elder Sen?” asked Lan Yi.

Bailian was Elder Sen’s only disciple. Who would be so bold to injure Elder Sen’s disciple?

Shangguan Dian nodded. “Cousin has already contacted Elder Sen just now. He’s probably on his way here now.”

Lu Zhou and Chunyu Dong also stopped.

After the two of them stopped, Lu Zhou hurriedly helped him back to the couch.

Chunyu Dong said with a grave expression, “He’s severely injured. We have to send him back to the source. Otherwise, it’ll be difficult for him to wake up.”

“It’s that serious?!”

Shangguan Dian and the rest were shocked when they heard that.

Lu Zhou nodded slightly. “We can only use spirit energy to protect his spirit meridian. If he wants to wake up, we have to return him to where he grew up.”

“Elder Sen should be here soon.”

Chunyu Dong looked up at Lu Zhou and said, “Junior Brother, you and your cousin wait here for Elder Sen. I’ll go and find out what has come to Yong Fu Town recently.”

Lu Zhou snorted and agreed.

Chunyu Dong smiled faintly and looked at Qing Yi. “Qing Yi, let’s go.”

Qing Yi was stunned. He glanced at Lan Yi and asked Chun Yu Dong softly, “Master, won’t Lan Yi be following us?”

Chunyu Dong glanced at Lan Yi and smiled faintly. “He should have long returned to where he belongs.”

Then, he strode out of the guest room.

Qing Yi turned his head every step. When he reached the door, he turned back and gritted his teeth. He said to Lan Yi, “Lan Yi, we’ll get going then!”

Lan Yi nodded slightly.

Shangguan Dian glanced at them and stood up too. He stretched and said, “You guys chat first. I’ll go downstairs to find my niece and the rest to talk.”

Then, he left.

When the door closed again, the room fell into silence.

Lu Zhou was about to say something when Lan Yi suddenly turned around, knelt down, and said respectfully, “Master, please forgive Lan Yi’s past mistakes!”

Lu Zhou was stunned before he smiled.

After a long while, he said in a low voice, “Actually… I’ve long forgiven you.”

Lan Yi paused and looked up at him.

Although he did not speak, his eyes were filled with confusion.

Lu Zhou walked forward and helped him up. He said lightly, “Back then, when you suffered the lightning tribulation, I once returned. However, I seemed to be a step too late.”

As he spoke, a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

“You…”

Lan Yi’s eyes reddened. “You… You’re saying that you forgave Lan Yi back then?”

Lu Zhou nodded. “Yes.”

Lan Yi lowered his eyes, which were filled with clear tears.

Lu Zhou patted his shoulder and consoled him in a low voice. “Enough. You’ve followed Chunyu Dong for decades. He hasn’t mistreated you, right?”

“No!”

Lan Yi wiped his tears and shook his head. “Lord Chunyu treats Lan Yi very well.”

“That’s good.”

Lu Zhou snorted coldly. “If he dares to treat you badly, I’ll ask him about it.”

Lan Yi smiled. “Lord Chunyu treats Master very well too.”

“He treats me well?”

Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow. “How is that so?”

“He saved Lan Yi for you and was even struck by lightning. He has been recuperating for years.”

Back then, when Chunyu Dong saved Qing Yi, he had already exhausted a lot of spiritual energy.

Therefore, when saving him, he was accidentally struck by a bolt of lightning and his organs were damaged. He only recovered after several years.

Lu Zhou paused and did not speak for a long time.

On second thought, Chunyu Dong had indeed treated him quite well.

In the past, they had a good relationship.

Every time he did something wrong, Chunyu Dong would intercede with their master for him.

It was only later on when Chunyu Dong was discovered to have secretly practiced a forbidden technique that their relationship started to break down.

However, Chunyu Dong did not admit this.

When he heard his master’s words back then, he was very angry and even questioned him in person. However, after thinking about it, Chunyu Dong’s magic power was profound and those forbidden techniques were dispensable to him. He would not have secretly practiced those evil techniques.

The only possibility was that he had been framed. As to who it was, there was someone suspicious in his heart, but there was no evidence.

All these years, his master and he had secretly investigated in order to clear Chunyu Dong’s name. However, that person seemed to be very cunning and had no flaws.

Lan Yi seemed to know what he was thinking and said in a low voice, “Master, it’s impossible for Lord Chunyu to secretly practice those so-called forbidden techniques. At least, I’ve followed him for years and have never seen him use any forbidden techniques.”
