Chapter 400: Two Identical Jade Buckles
As for how the princ.i.p.al dealt with Andre, Chu Luo found out as soon as she returned to the villa at Imperial Sky Park.
Andre apologized directly to Imperial University and was sent back.
At the same time, D University announced the disqualification of Andre from the Student Union.
Chu Luo had become famous for her unbeatable speed in robot production.
With her fame in robot production, everyone felt that she would partic.i.p.ate in the grand finals of the robot compet.i.tion directly.
However, in the finals, Chu Luo didn’t even show her face.
Just as everyone was discussing, Chu Luo and the others received the herbs they needed. The four of them started to busy themselves with the refining process.
However, at this moment, there was suddenly news that a group of archeologists who had gone to the northwest had suddenly disappeared in the desert.
At night, when Li Yan picked Chu Luo up, he also told her, “Qin Ming and the others are missing too.”
When Chu Luo heard this news, she frowned.
She took out her phone to scroll through the news and realized that this matter was also heavily featured in the news.
Of course, the news only mentioned that the archeological team had suddenly lost contact.
The upper echelons of the empire had already sent people to look for them.
After reading it, Chu Luo asked Li Yan, “Where did Qin Ming and the others disappear?”
“The last signal stopped not far from the Karst landscape. They must have encountered a sandstorm.”
“If they encountered a sandstorm, the professors and teachers at Imperial University would be in danger.”
Not long after Li Yan told Chu Luo about this, Chu Luo received a call from Anya.
Anya’s voice was filled with worry. “Chu, did you see the news? The archaeological team that your empire sent to look for that ancient tomb has disappeared. I got the emba.s.sy to contact my brother, but there’s no signal at all. Did Li tell you about Blockhead?”
Chu Luo felt that this matter couldn’t be hidden from Anya, so she said, “Not only the archeological team, but everyone who went there has disappeared.”
When Anya heard this, she was even more worried. “Did Li send anyone to look for them? I plan to send someone from the emba.s.sy and my guards to look for them.”
Chu Luo replied, “I’ve already sent someone over.”
Anya was silent for a while before she responded with an “Mm” and the two of them ended the call.
The next morning, Li Yan told Chu Luo, “The people looking for Qin Ming and the others are already at the edge of the desert. They will enter today.”
Chu Luo nodded. She thought of something and asked, “So many people entered the desert this time. Are all of them missing?”
“Yes.”
“Since they’re all missing, many people will definitely look for them. Did the Qin family and the Duanmu family do something secretly?”
Most of the people from the Qin family had gone over. If all of them disappeared, they would be the most anxious now.
“Only Old Master Qin and Eldest Master Qin are left in the capital. Can they send someone over?” Chu Luo was a little doubtful.
“The Qin family still has relatives.”
The Qin family was one of the two large families. Because the Qin family was at a low point now, their in-laws would find a way to restore the Qin family to its former glory.
The two of them discussed this matter for a while before Li Yan received a call.
Unexpectedly, it was from Old Master Duanmu’s personal servant.
After Li Yan hung up the phone, he said to Chu Luo, “Old Master has something to discuss with me. I’ll go to the Duanmu residence first.”
Chu Luo nodded.
Not long after Li Yan left, Anya came over.
Anya was a little anxious.
Seeing her like this, Chu Luo asked, “Are you very concerned about Qin Ming?”
“Of course. He went after Duanmu Rui because of me.”
Chu Luo suddenly thought about it and realized that she had told Qin Ming where Duanmu Rui had gone before Qin Ming chased after him.
If something happened to Qin Ming… Should she be responsible?
“Chu…”
Anya didn’t know what Chu Luo was thinking and suddenly called out to her.
Chu Luo came back to her senses and looked at her. Anya said to her anxiously, “I have to go back to America.”
Chu Luo was a little surprised. “You’re going back?”
“Yes!” Anya said. “My mother is sick. Father wants me to go back immediately.”
Being the only daughter of the king and queen of America, they doted on Anya very much. Coupled with the fact that the queen had been turned into a servant by a witch for so many years, the queen felt that she had not done her mother’s duty. Therefore, after she fell ill, she missed Anya very much.
The king had been feeling sorry towards the queen. Since the queen said that she missed Anya, he would definitely ask her to go back immediately.
Anya definitely didn’t want to leave at this time, but the other party was her mother. She had no choice but to go back. She asked Chu Luo, “Chu, can you give me some special medicine to treat various colds?”
Chu Luo looked at her in confusion.
Anya explained to her, “I’m going back this afternoon. I’ll come back when my mother recovers. Before Blockhead is found, I’ll be worrying even after I go back, so I want my mother to recover as soon as possible.”
Chu Luo thought for a while and said, “If it’s just a cold or something like that, I don’t think I need to give you medicine. There are many effective cold medicines on the market now.”
Hearing her say that, Anya felt that it made sense and nodded. “Alright, I’ll go back for a week at most. I’ll come over in a week. If you have any news about Blockhead, you must tell me immediately.”
“Okay.”
The two of them talked for a while before Anya left.
Chu Luo went to the villa at the back to continue making medicine packets with Professor Tang and the others.
In the afternoon.
Professor Tang suddenly picked up a call and said to Chu Luo, “Little Chu, the Sun family called and asked us to go over.”
“What’s wrong with Old Master Sun?”
“It’s not Old Master Sun. They just said to let us go over.”
Chu Luo and Professor Tang felt very strange, but they still went over.
When the car arrived at the Sun residence, it was already past four in the afternoon.
When the two of them were brought into the living room, Eldest Master Sun and Third Master Sun were already sitting there waiting for them.
Eldest Master Sun gestured to the two of them. “Please take a seat.”
After the servants served tea, Professor Tang asked, “Why did you call us over?”
“It’s like this,” Eldest Master Sun said. “We want a batch of trauma medicine. We don’t trust the others, so we want to see if you guys could help us concoct a batch.”
When Chu Luo and Professor Tang heard this, they looked at each other.
Professor Tang actually wanted to ask why they suddenly wanted a batch of trauma medicine, but when he thought of the Sun family’s ident.i.ty, he stopped asking.
Chu Luo didn’t have such concerns and asked directly, “Why did you suddenly want a batch of trauma medicine?”
Before Eldest Master Sun could speak, Third Master Sun started speaking.
“It’s…”
“Third Brother.”
Eldest Master Sun stopped him.
Eldest Master Sun said to Chu Luo and Professor Tang, “As you know, the Sun family is from the Guards Department. Many guards will go on missions. I want to prepare a batch of effective trauma medicine for them. This can also reduce the possibility that they won’t be treated in time after being injured during the mission.”
When Professor Tang heard this, his expression immediately became serious. He nodded seriously and said, “Eldest Master Sun is thoughtful. These soldiers should indeed bring along more trauma medicine.”
Chu Luo could tell that they were deliberately hiding something, but she didn’t ask further.
Since the Sun family didn’t want to tell her, she couldn’t be bothered to ask.
Eldest Master Sun told the two of them how much trauma medicine was needed and asked what herbs were needed. He immediately sent someone to buy them.
Just as the discussion was about to wrap up, a servant walked over from behind. He said to Eldest Master Sun and Third Master Sun, “Eldest Master, Third Master, Old Master wants to see Miss Chu.”
Eldest Master Sun and Third Master Sun looked at Chu Luo at the same time.
Third Master Sun laughed and said, “Old Master looks forward to Little Chu coming over every day… Little Chu, go accompany your Grandpa Sun. Otherwise, Old Master will be angry and say that we won’t let you see him.”
Chu Luo nodded, stood up, and followed the servant to the backyard.
As Chu Luo walked, she asked the servant, “How’s Grandpa Sun now?”
The servant replied respectfully, “Old Master has recovered very well. He can already speak for a while these past two days.”
Chu Luo nodded.
The two of them went to the house at the back. The servant stood by Old Master Sun’s bedroom door and knocked. Then, she pushed the door open for Chu Luo. “Miss Chu, please.”
Chu Luo walked in and met Old Master Sun’s gaze.
“Old Master Sun.”
“Hey… come.”
Chu Luo walked over and the servant closed the door for them.
Old Master Sun looked at Chu Luo with memories in his eyes.
“Too similar, too similar.”
Chu Luo smiled and didn’t say anything. She dragged a chair over and sat down, waiting for him to take a look. At the same time, she observed his expression and saw that he indeed looked much better than before. She was relieved.
Old Master Sun looked at it for a while and took out a jade buckle. He asked Chu Luo, “Chu, show me your jade buckle.”
Chu Luo took out the same jade buckle from the Heaven-and-Earth pouch and handed it to him.
Old Master Sun’s hands were still trembling. With trembling hands, he laid the jade buckle in his two palms and took a closer look.
Chu Luo also extended her neck to take a look. With a look, she suddenly realized that there was a reaction when the two jade buckles were together.
Something that looked like an azure thread appeared in the white jade buckle at the same time.
Chu Luo said, “Grandpa Sun, show me the jade buckle.”
Old Master Sun handed her the jade buckle.
Chu Luo took it and looked at it carefully. After confirming that there was indeed something that looked like black hair, the black hair slowly changed in front of her eyes. In the end, it actually formed a painting…
