Chapter 489: Ye Luo Is Here Too
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Just as everyone was still confused, another person walked in.
“Master?!”
Chu Sihan put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and looked at the person in surprise.
“Oh, you’re eating?”
Ye Luo glanced at the dishes on the table and raised his eyebrows.
“Hero Ye, why are you here too?”
Lu Sheng looked at Ye Luo in surprise.
“Senior Brother asked me to come over.”
After replying, Ye Luo glanced at Lan Yi and Lu Yi. His smile froze and his eyes widened..
He blinked and asked in shock, “Why are the two of you here?”
Lan Yi said indifferently, “I’ve always been here.”
Lu Yi shrugged. “I just came.”
Chu Sihan frowned slightly. He kept feeling that something was amiss.
Chunyu Dong asked Lu Yi to come over and the State Minister asked his master to come over. Was something big going to happen in Liu Yue Village?
“Hero Ye, what happened?”
Lu Sheng also sensed that something was amiss. She did not even want to continue eating and frowned at Ye Luo.
“I don’t know either. Senior Brother and Master sent a message to me to meet you at Liu Yue Village. They didn’t tell me the exact reason.”
After exchanging greetings with Lu Yi and Lan Yi, Ye Luo casually found a seat and sat down.
“My master didn’t tell me the reason either. He just told me to come over and meet Peak Master Lu.”
Although Lu Yi did not want to call Lu Zhou Peak Master, he was still his master’s Junior Brother. He did not dare to be rude to Lu Zhou like before.
“Cough—”
Ye Luo, who had just unscrewed the cap of a bottle and taken a sip of wine, spat out a mouthful of water when he heard Lu Yi’s words.
“You’re saying that Peak Master Lu is here too?”
Lu Yi nodded. “Yes, but he went that way. I don’t know where he went.”
Lu Sheng stared at Lu Yi for a long time before saying suspiciously, “You… aren’t Qing Yi?”
This person looked identical to Qing Yi. Even his voice, tone, and personality were extremely similar.
When she saw him walk in previously, she thought that he was Qing Yi.
Lan Yi explained, “Miss, he’s not Qing Yi. He’s Qing Yi’s twin brother.”
Lu Yi looked suspiciously at Lu Sheng. “You know my brother?”
Lu Sheng smiled faintly and said, “We’ve met a few times.”
Lu Yi nodded and did not speak further.
“Master, do you really not know what happened?”
Chu Sihan walked forward and asked Ye Luo in a low voice.
Ye Luo shook his head. “I really don’t know.”
Like Lu Yi, he only followed orders.
Chu Sihan frowned. “Isn’t there a hint?”
Ye Luo shook his head. “Nothing. I was thinking that you were getting married next month, right? Since they asked me to come over, I came over.”
“Something’s definitely not right!”
Lu Sheng guessed. “Something must have happened for them to do this.”
Just as she finished speaking, Lu Zhou happened to walk back.
When he returned, Ye Luo could not sit still.
“Greetings, Peak Master Lu!”
“Brother Ye is here too? Take a seat.”
After greeting Ye Luo, Lu Zhou turned around and said to Lan Yi, “Lan Yi, bring Lu Yi along and guard the path into Huang Yang Town.”
“Guard the path?” Lu Yi stood up and asked in confusion, “Why?”
Lu Zhou said in a deep voice, “Don’t ask so much. If I tell you to go, go. For the next two months, you have to guard there.”
Lu Yi snorted coldly. Although he was unhappy, he did not retort.
“Yes!”
Lan Yi agreed belatedly.
“Well…”
Ye Luo wanted to ask Lu Zhou the reason, but when he thought that even Lu Yi couldn’t get an answer, he quickly changed the topic. “What about me?”
Lu Zhou said lightly, “Brother Ye, you can stay in Liu Yue Village with us.”
No matter what, Ye Luo was Chu Sihan’s master. Moreover, he was not from the Five Peaks. He had no right to order him around.
“Yes!”
Ye Luo replied respectfully.
“Master, shall we set off now?” asked Lan Yi.
“Yes.”
Lu Zhou nodded slightly and turned to Lu Sheng. “Girl, borrow a few soldiers to stand sentry first.”
“Borrow soldiers?”
Lu Sheng did not react immediately. “I don’t have any soldiers.”
“Ghost soldiers,” Chu Sihan reminded softly.
“Oh, them!”
Lu Sheng thought for a while, took out a talisman, and pa.s.sed it to Lu Zhou. “Is this alright?”
If it was for standing sentry, she did not intend to use Jia Zheng, Tan Jun, and the rest.
After all, she still had a lot of work that she needed their help with.
Lu Zhou held the talisman with two fingers and closed his eyes to observe it before nodding.
“Okay.”
These souls were collected by Lu Sheng when she saved Chu Sihan and Chu Yun at the back of the mountain. They were all men in black sent by Chu Silin.
Perhaps because they had stayed in the talisman for too long, they no longer had the vicious aura of ghosts. Instead, they were a little silly.
Lu Zhou pa.s.sed the talisman to Lan Yi and said lightly, “Qing Yi is in Yong Fu Town. The two of you guard the border between Yong Fu Town and Huang Yang Town. There’s an inn there. You can stay there temporarily.”
“Yes!”
After Lan Yi received the talisman, he turned around and his short combat clothes disappeared instantly. He changed into the blue clothes he often wore previously.
As the tomatoes were blocking the way, the helpers did not see this surprising scene.
“Master, Miss, His Highness Yan, Brother Ye, goodbye!”
After Lan Yi and the rest bowed, he was about to leave with Lu Yi when Chu Sihan shouted.
“Please wait a moment.”
The two of them turned their heads suspiciously. Chu Sihan glanced at them and waved his hand. Everything here was instantly enveloped by an invisible boundary.
“Lord, what are you doing?”
Lu Sheng knocked on the boundary and asked him suspiciously.
“You’ll know in a while.”
Chu Sihan smiled at her and half-knelt on the ground. Then, he took out a dagger and cut his palm.
Lu Sheng’s heart tightened. She was about to stop him when Lu Zhou stopped her. “Don’t disturb him first.”
Chu Sihan used his blood to draw a talisman on the ground. After a while, the talisman emitted a dark red light before disappearing.
A chilly wind suddenly blew in the boundary and three figures appeared in front of them.
“Your Highness!”
The three of them bowed respectfully to Chu Sihan.
The people who came were Chu Sihan’s three subordinates in the Netherworld. They were Yun Guagua, Jiang Zhong, and Ai Shui.
Chu Sihan stood up and nodded slightly. He said to the three of them, “Follow them.”
The three of them turned their heads suspiciously. When they saw Lan Yi and Lu Yi behind them, they could not help but be shocked at the same time. They hurriedly bowed and said, “Greetings, Lords!”
Lan Yi and Lu Yi nodded at the same time.
Chu Sihan said to the two of them, “Although they can’t compare to the two of you, they might still be of help.”
“Thank you, Your Highness!”
After thanking him, Lan Yi led the three of them away.
Lu Sheng wanted to ask Jiang Zhong if he had found the owner. However, seeing that he left in a hurry, she thought that she could only wait for the next time.
“You know Jiang Zhong?”
After Chu Sihan removed the boundary, he asked Lu Sheng suspiciously.
Just now, Lu Sheng’s attention was on Jiang Zhong. He happened to see this scene.
“Isn’t he looking for his fiancée from his previous life?”
Chu Sihan nodded slightly. He naturally knew this, but…
“How did you know?”
He remembered that he had not mentioned Jiang Zhong to Lu Sheng.
“I went to the Netherworld with Master and Uncle Demon King previously and happened to meet the three of them.”
“Then?” Chu Sihan raised an eyebrow.
Jiang Zhong could not tell her about this the first time he saw Lu Sheng, right?
Lu Sheng coughed lightly and explained, “To be honest, the skin I’m occupying is the woman Jiang Zhong was looking for previously.”
Chu Sihan said, “…There’s actually such a thing?”
In that case, wasn’t that woman also called Lu Sheng? And she looked like Lu Sheng?
This… Why did he find it strange the more he thought about it?
Lu Zhou and Ye Luo had already walked away silently, leaving the couple alone.
Seeing Chu Sihan’s frown, Lu Sheng hurriedly pulled him aside and explained, “I know what you’re thinking, but she’s not me. Moreover, her original name was Lu Yao, not Lu Sheng. And I… don’t look like her.”
Their physical appearances were the same, but their souls were different.
“I understand!”
Chu Sihan patted her head lightly and smiled.
“Oh, you. You’re jealous of everything.”
Lu Sheng poked his chest, but her hand was held by someone. Then, he placed it to his lips and kissed it.
She hurriedly retracted her hand and glared at him. She raised an eyebrow and said, “Do you still want to eat?”
“No.”
“Then, I’ll clean up.”
“I’ll help you.”
After the two of them cleared the cutlery on the table, they went to find Lu Zhou and Ye Luo.
“Peak Master Lu, did something big happen in Yong Fu Town again?”
Ye Luo had heard from Elder Sen and the State Minister about what happened in Yong Fu Town previously.
Of course, he had also heard of what Xian Jing and Xian Ya had done.
When he heard Lu Zhou mention Yong Fu Town, he guessed that something big had happened there.
Lu Zhou shook his head. “Nothing yet. However, Brother Bailian said that there seems to be something wrong.”
“My Senior Brother?” Ye Luo frowned. “Isn’t he at Yang Cheng Mansion with my master and the rest? How did he know about the situation in Yong Fu Town?”
“He said that every night, the nebula there would always emit a strange light. During this period, he and Elder Sen had gone to take a look. However, they didn’t gain anything.”
Ye Luo nodded. “Then… what about the Emperor Ghost? Do you have his whereabouts?”
Lu Zhou shook his head. “No, but it’s said to be at Yang Cheng Mansion. Nothing major has happened yet.”
“That’s good!”
Ye Luo heaved a sigh of relief.
Although he had not seen with his own eyes how scary the Emperor Ghost was, he had heard a lot about it.
He heard from his master that that thing killed many people back then.
Their souls had been sucked away and they did not even have the chance to enter the cycle of reincarnation.
The scariest thing was that that thing could only be sealed. It could not be killed at all, unless the person who killed it was someone without any desires or thoughts.
Unless one was a newborn, no one could be without any desires or thoughts.
When Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng arrived, they only heard Ye Luo heave a sigh of relief.
“Master, Hero Ye.”
“Uncle-Master Lu, Master.”
After shouting, the duo stood beside Lu Zhou.
“Master, is it…”
Before Lu Sheng could finish asking, Lu Zhou raised his hand and gestured for her to stop asking.
“I know what you want to ask, but I’m not sure yet, so I don’t know how to answer you.”
Lu Zhou turned around and looked at the two of them. “I keep feeling that something’s wrong, but I can’t figure out what’s wrong. I keep feeling like I’m missing something.”
“What are you missing?” Lu Sheng was curious.
“I don’t know.” Lu Zhou shook his head and sighed softly. “It’s as if something big is about to happen.”
He had lived for more than ten thousand years, and this panic had only happened once. It was the time when Lu Sheng suffered from gas poisoning while eating noodles at the noodles restaurant.
Now that this feeling happened again, he felt uneasy.
“Uncle-Master Lu, have Sect Master Kong and the rest found the whereabouts of the Emperor Ghost?” Chu Sihan asked softly.
Lu Zhou nodded slightly. “I heard it’s in Yang Cheng Mansion, but I keep feeling that something’s not right.”
Given the Emperor Ghost’s personality, it would not be so obedient if it had escaped.
However, his master and the rest had no reason to lie to him.
“Master, why don’t you go and rest first?”
Lu Sheng felt that he might be too tired.
“Okay.”
Lu Zhou did not refuse. He said to Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan, “Then, you can take care of Brother Ye. I’ll go back and rest for a while.”
The duo nodded. “Yes.”
Lu Zhou patted Ye Luo’s shoulder and smiled at him silently. Then, he walked past the three of them and left.
The three of them watched his back and did not speak for a moment.
“Master, let’s go back and talk.”
After Lu Zhou left, Chu Sihan spoke to Ye Luo.
As Ye Luo wanted to drink, Lu Sheng made two side dishes for him and prepared to chat while drinking.
“Oh right, Lu Sheng, why didn’t your master follow along to find the whereabouts of the Emperor Ghost?”
Ye Luo did not know about the feud between Chu Sihan, Lu Sheng, Xian Ya, and Xian Jing.
Hence, he found it strange to see Lu Zhou here.
“Master stayed behind to protect us.”
Lu Sheng took the tea Chu Sihan handed over and explained faintly.
“Protect you?” Ye Luo was puzzled. “Who did you offend?”
“Xian Jing and Xian Ya,” Chu Sihan said softly.
“What?”
Ye Luo was shocked. “How are you related to them?”
He had thought that only his Senior Brother and Chunyu Dong had a feud with that pair of siblings. He did not expect his disciple to be involved.
“At that time, the siblings came to find Sheng Sheng. They wanted to capture her as a hostage to threaten Uncle-Master Lu and force him to tell them about the State Minister’s whereabouts. Unexpectedly, they were accidentally trapped by Sheng Sheng.”
After hearing Chu Sihan’s explanation, Ye Luo finally understood.
“In other words, the reason why the siblings were captured back then was related to Lu Sheng?”
Chu Sihan nodded slightly.
“No wonder!”
He was wondering why Lu Zhou was still staying in this small village after such a big thing happened. It turned out that he was protecting Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan.
“Hero Ye, the State Minister would not have let you come here for no reason. Did something happen?”
Lu Zhou told her not to ask just now, but she was still very curious.
