Chapter 75 - Night Travellers
Only after seeing the white-browed elder"s figure disappear into the distance did they turn around and return to the Lu Family. The ident.i.ty of a white-browed elder was extremely high, with just a single sentence, he was able to defeat an entire large clan of Qingyun Town"s in one night. Thus, towards this white-browed elder, the large clans could only fawn over him, and definitely did not dare to offend him.After sending off the white-browed elder, Lu Shaoyu directly returned to his own courtyard. He would be leaving for the Cloudy Sun Sect the day after tomorrow with his mother by his side.
Once he returned to the courtyard, Lu Shaoyu told his mother that he was going to the Cloudy Sun Sect the day after tomorrow. Although Lady Luo Lan was reluctant in her heart, she was even more happy.
Thinking about how he wouldn"t be able to see his son in three years, Lady Luo Lan hurriedly told the servants to buy a lot of delicious food for his son.And in these two days, Lu Shaoyu did not go anywhere else. He just sat in the courtyard with his mother, and felt his mother"s love.
In the past two days, Lu Mei had also been to the courtyard twice, but seeing Lu Mei"s expression as though she was electrocuting, Lu Shaoyu felt that it was a bit unbearable, it was better for Lu Mei to not provoke him too much.Lu Shaoyu found out from Lu Wushuang that Lu Wushuang, along with that w.a.n.g Liang and Yang Man she met back then in the Heaven Treasure Sect, would also be heading to the Cloudy Sun Sect. Last time, the three of them only came back to save family.
Tomorrow was the day to head to Cloudy Sun Sect. After nightfall, Lu Shaoyu sat crossed legged on his bed, planning to rest for a while, after which he began to slowly recuperate, and a moment later, his entire body was enveloped in a faint l.u.s.ter.
Deep in the night, a weak voice came from outside the window into Lu Shaoyu"s ears. The sound of the footsteps was extremely soft and if not for the fact that Lu Shaoyu was meditating, his entire body"s senses would have been in an exceptionally clear state, otherwise, it would have been difficult to notice.
"It"s so late, who else is outside?" Lu Shaoyu opened his eyes wide, a look of doubt plastered on his face. Why would there be someone walking past his courtyard in the middle of the night?
"Did something happen?" Lu Shaoyu"s expression was puzzled for a moment. Then, he jumped out of the window, his eyes flashed, and a black figure flew past in front of him."It"s so late. Who is it?" Lu Shaoyu"s heart sank, and under the urge of his curiosity, he jumped out carefully and gave chase.
Deep in the night, the Lu Family was quiet. Tonight, the moonlight was hazy and it was clear and quiet, and a figure that did not seem to have thought that there would be someone following him went past a few corridors and entered a courtyard.
Lu Shaoyu followed from afar, but he realized that this black-clothed person was actually quite familiar with him. He seemed to have seen him somewhere before, but he was unable to recall where he was at the moment.
"So familiar, I must have seen him somewhere before." Lu Shaoyu thought, this figure was giving him a very familiar feeling.
Lu Shaoyu did not dare to get too close, he could only watch from afar, and with his current Fourth Stage Warrior"s strength, Spirit Master"s cultivation had also reached the Spirit Scholar"s, so in the darkness, his vision was much better than before.
"It"s the mysterious person who tried to kill himself at the back of the mountain. His figure is exactly the same, as expected, it"s related to Zhao Hui." Lu Shaoyu suddenly remembered, the man in black was the strong enemy he had met at the back of the mountain. In the end, he had to rely on Xiao Long and his father Lu Zhong"s appearance to escape.
Lu Shaoyu did not dare to approach, that mysterious man was extremely powerful, if he was discovered, it might be dangerous, it would be better to observe first.
"Second Brother, why did you come so late?" In the room, Zhao Hui looked panicked as he asked one of the black-clothed men in the room.
"Don"t worry, while the old fogey of the Lu Family is in closed door cultivation, I doubt that anyone in the Lu Family will be able to discover me." The man in black said softly, "How is the investigation going?""It"s still the same old. The Lu Family was simply on guard against me, and still could not find the location of that thing." Zhao Hui said softly.
"We need to investigate more quickly. We"ve already wasted a lot of time waiting for this long." The man in black said."I know, I will investigate more. It"s just that, suddenly, a Lu Shaoyu appeared, I"m afraid that Lu Family might leave his backup plan for him, so we came here for nothing." Zhao Hui said.
"There was a chance the last time, but unfortunately Lu Zhong suddenly appeared, his strength, is stronger than mine, allowing that brat to escape." The man in black said.
"Then what do we do now? That brat has already entered the Cloudy Sun Sect, so it won"t be difficult for him to become a direct disciple with three different types of Warrior. Zhao Hui said.
Third sister, did you forget, in Cloudy Sun Sect, that brat had to have a life to leave Cloudy Sun Sect, Lu Family thought that after entering Cloudy Sun Sect, he could protect that brat"s life, but unfortunately no one knew, that Cloudy Sun Sect was also considered my Zhao Family"s territory, hmph. The man in black snorted coldly.
"That"s true, but that old fellow from Lu Family is indeed a little difficult to deal with." Zhao Hui said."That old fellow is indeed very strong, but at that time, there will naturally be people in my Zhao Family who can deal with him. You just need to find the location of that thing as soon as possible." The man in black said.
"Right." Zhao Hui replied lightly.
"I"ll be leaving first." After the black clothed man finished speaking, he left the courtyard, and with a few leaps, he silently left the Lu Family.
As Lu Shaoyu hid in the corner of the courtyard, he watched the black-clothed man"s figure disappear, and his expression darkened slightly. He decided to return to the courtyard first, as he was very clear that the black-clothed man and Zhao Hui were definitely related.
"Who is it?" At this moment, Lu Shaoyu felt light footsteps coming from behind him. After turning his head around for a moment, his body moved like a cat in the night as he quickly jumped away.
"Lu Shaoyu, what are you doing here?" A figure appeared in front of Lu Shaoyu, and it was Zhao Da.
"We"ve been discovered." Lu Shaoyu"s heart sank. He had just discovered the black-clothed man, if Zhao Hui knew about it, there would be trouble at the end. Without any hesitation, Lu Shaoyu activated the True Qi in his body and struck out with his palm.
"Brat, you think …" Zhao Da"s face changed, he immediately shouted out, but just as he opened his mouth, before he could even finish, his body instantly went listless, and he fell to the ground unconscious."Uncle Nan." Behind Zhao Da, a figure appeared. Lu Shaoyu was a little surprised that the person who came was Uncle Nan.
"Kid, next time be careful." Uncle Nan said softly.
"Uncle Nan, why are you here?" Lu Shaoyu asked in surprise.
