It had to be said that Second Aunt had already planned everything from the start.
Dongfang Yuechu laughed coldly and nodded. “I accept Miss Lu’s suggestion to fake my death. What should I do next?”
Lu Sheng took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to her. “There’s a Fake Death Pill here. If I’m not wrong, they will probably take action at night. Swallow this pill then. Don’t worry, after two hours, the effects will pass. Lord Chu and I will come over to help you tomorrow night.”
“Okay!”
Dongfang Yuechu took the bottle and said, “Thank you, Miss Lu!”
She had lived for so long, but this was the first time someone had tried so hard to help her.
“You’re welcome!”
When Lu Sheng heard footsteps approaching, she quickly stood up and said, “Then I’ll be leaving first.”
“I’ll send you off!”
Dongfang Yuechu got up and walked Lu Sheng to the window. When she jumped out, there was a knock on the door.
“Miss, it’s this servant.”
It was Lianer’s voice. She heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly closed the window.
When Lu Sheng returned to the inn, Xianger was still unconscious and Chu Sihan had not returned.
She asked the waiter to prepare some meat and a pot of wine to warm her up.
As soon as the dishes were served and she picked up her chopsticks, the window suddenly creaked open.
Lu Sheng’s hand that was holding the chopsticks paused slightly as she looked over in confusion.
A slender figure jumped in, his silver hair fluttering before falling down.
“Master!”
Lu Sheng glared at him. “Why are you here?”
Wasn’t he chasing after the person controlling the Nightmare Beast?
“When I saw you walking on the streets just now, I thought I recognized the wrong person.”
Lu Zhou patted off the snow on his body and sat opposite Lu Sheng. He picked up the pot of wine and poured himself a cup before downing it in one gulp.
“Where is he? Did you catch up to him?”
Lu Sheng passed him the chopsticks that she had yet to use and asked softly.
At the mention of that person, Lu Zhou’s expression turned a little ugly. He said coldly, “This person’s cultivation level isn’t low. Furthermore, I’ve been tricked.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up a piece of braised meat and put it into his mouth to chew fiercely.
Lu Sheng raised her eyebrows. “He tricked you? How?”
Lu Zhou snorted. “With my speed, if he had already escaped from Lin Jiang Mansion, I would have been able to catch up to him. The only explanation is that he hasn’t left Lin Jiang Mansion.”
He had lived for so many years, and this was the second time he had been tricked.
The first was his biological brother. Although he was angry, he could not pursue the matter.
However, it was different for others. If he were to encounter them, he would definitely beat them up so badly that even their ancestors would not recognize them.
“Still in Lin Jiang Mansion?” Lu Sheng smiled. “If nothing goes wrong, I should know where this person is.”
The most dangerous place was the safest place.
If her guess was right, this person should have gone back to find his disciple.
“You mean the Chu Mansion?” Lu Zhou shook his head. “I just came back from there. I didn’t even see Lord Chu’s cousin.”
“Who said that I was talking about the Chu Mansion?” Lu Sheng smiled mysteriously. “This person actually has a disciple who lives near the Chu Mansion.”
“Disciple?”
Lu Zhou paused and frowned. “How did you know?”
“I found out by chance.” Lu Sheng chuckled.
Lu Zhou put down his chopsticks and stood up. “Let’s go. Bring me there now.”
He was going to skin that person alive and throw that person’s flesh to feed the wolves at the back of the mountain.
