Chapter 505: Showing Cowardice So Quickly; How Boring
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The bead was very fast. As soon as it was thrown out, the black aura inside spread out in all directions.
The black aura was about to swallow Chu Luo’s figure.
However, a second ago, a phoenix covered in flames flew out of Chu Luo’s arm. Then, he opened his mouth and swallowed the bead and all the black aura.
Following that, the phoenix emitted a powerful fluorescence.
When that person saw this situation, he thought to himself, “Not good.” He was about to escape, but in the next second, he was rooted to the ground by a talisman.
That person’s heart skipped a beat. “Who exactly are you?”
Chu Luo put away the Phoenix Zither and walked up to that person.
That person said in a trembling voice, “You… you’re definitely not from this world. Where did you come from?”
“Guess.”
After Chu Luo finished speaking, she waved a talisman in front of him. “Let me guess. If I fall into your hands, what will you do to me?
“You will definitely use me to threaten Yan and the Sun family first, then use me as a research subject, right?”
When that person heard this, his face turned pale.
“No…”
“Ha! Showing cowardice so quickly. How boring.”
Chu Luo threw the talisman above his head.
Rumble…
“Owww…”
“Enjoy the feeling of being struck by lightning. If you can survive tonight, you might become an immortal.”
Chu Luo didn’t even look at the person who was being struck by lightning. She raised her arm and the barrier around the Qin residence disappeared. Then, her body flashed and she disappeared. Soon, she appeared in the hall of the Qin residence.
When Old Master Qin saw Chu Luo appear, his pupils constricted and he questioned sternly, “How did you get in?”
“I walked in.” Chu Luo told him seriously, “That master you found is lousy. I dealt with him easily.”
“You… you… Pfft!”
Old Master Qin spat out a mouthful of blood and his face turned ashen.
Eldest Master Sun shouted at the guards outside the door, “Search immediately.”
There was a response and rapid footsteps outside the door.
Old Master Qin’s strength seemed to have been sucked out of him as he sat there paralyzed and couldn’t say a word.
Only then did Eldest Master Sun ask Chu Luo, “Little Chu, why are you here?”
“Yan said that you encountered some trouble here and no one else can resolve it. That’s why I came to help you.”
Eldest Master Sun nodded. “Luckily you’re here. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t be able to deal with them here.”
After saying that, he stared at Old Master Qin and snorted. “The Qin family is really capable to have hired so many experts. Previously, you must have used those experts to do those plenty of dirty things for your Qin family.”
Old Master Qin didn’t look well. He had difficulty breathing and his temples were throbbing.
Seeing him like this, Eldest Master Sun subconsciously asked Chu Luo, “Little Chu, what’s wrong with him?”
“He planted a Gu poison on himself previously.”
Eldest Master Sun’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Old Master Qin actually planted Gu poison on himself?”
After saying that, he sighed. “As expected of Old Master Qin. He’s ruthless to others and to himself.”
Chu Luo looked at Old Master Qin, who was about to be tortured to death by the Gu worm, and asked, “Do you want me to keep him alive?”
“No need. We’ve already prepared a script for Old Master Qin’s death.”
After Eldest Master Sun finished speaking, Old Master Qin’s body trembled before he died.
He was obviously angered to death by Eldest Master Sun’s words.
The two of them waited in the living room for almost half an hour before the guards who had gone to search returned one after another.
They found some evidence, but…
“Master, everyone in the Qin family is under control except for the sixth daughter of the Qin family.”
“What? Search carefully.”
“Yes.”
The guards went to search for more than 20 minutes, but when they came back, they still hadn’t found Qin Xiang.
Eldest Master Sun’s expression darkened. He took out his phone and dialed a number.
The moment the other party picked up the call, he immediately said, “Qin Xiang is missing.”
It was unknown what the other party said, but Eldest Master Sun hung up with a dark expression and said to Chu Luo, “Little Chu, you can go back first. Li Yan should be here soon. We’ll deal with the rest.
“I heard that you and Li Yan are taking your wedding photos this weekend. Go back and rest well and strive to be in your best condition.”
Chu Luo knew that she had nothing to do next, so she nodded at him and walked out of the door.
When she walked out of the villa, the snow fell even heavier.
Chu Luo put on her cloak and hat and walked towards the door.
Not long after she left, a car drove over. The car stopped beside her and the back door opened. Li Yan extended his hand to her. “Luoluo, get in.”
Chu Luo placed her hand in his and Li Yan pulled her up.
The car door closed and the car drove out.
After Li Yan pulled Chu Luo into the car, he carried her in his arms and placed her hands inside his coat.
Li Yan was only wearing a warm s.h.i.+rt inside. Chu Luo placed her hand on his chest and heat instantly wafted over.
Li Yan asked her, “Are you cold?”
Chu Luo shook her head and leaned her head on his shoulder. She told him about the Qin family.
In the end, she guessed, “I think Qin Xiang left the empire early with that foreign man.”
“Mm.” Li Yan tilted his head and kissed her forehead. “The Sun family will handle this matter.”
“Who went to the Duanmu residence tonight?”
“Second Master Sun.”
“Have they found any favorable evidence?”
Li Yan actually didn’t answer.
Chu Luo looked up at him.
Li Yan told him, “Actually, Old Master Duanmu has always known what his sons and grandsons did. He had already planned for the rest a long time ago. This time, all the evidence only points to Eldest Master Duanmu.”
Chu Luo was silent for two seconds before frowning. “Is the Duanmu family prepared to let Eldest Master Duanmu bear all the responsibility alone?”
“Yes.”
“Old Master Duanmu is indeed powerful… Then what should we do now?”
Li Yan raised his hand to touch Chu Luo’s back. “It’s okay. Old Master Duanmu is currently in a coma. As long as he doesn’t wake up, the Duanmu family will quickly decline. When the time comes, the Sun family will naturally have a way to deal with them.”
Chu Luo was relieved to hear this. She suddenly felt a little sleepy and closed her eyes.
Li Yan looked at her and touched her cheek. “Sleep if you want. You can wake up later tomorrow. You can go visit Old Master Sun in the afternoon. We’ll take our wedding photos the day after tomorrow.”
Chu Luo nodded and closed her eyes.
When Chu Luo opened her eyes, it was already past nine the next morning.
The curtains in the bedroom were drawn and the room was very quiet. Li Yan was obviously not around.
Just as Chu Luo was about to get out of bed, the bedroom door was pushed open and Li Yan walked in.
After Li Yan walked in, he opened the curtains.
Chu Luo looked at the white sky and said in surprise, “The snow hasn’t stopped.”
“Mm, are you hungry?”
Chu Luo nodded. After getting out of bed and was.h.i.+ng up, she walked downstairs with Li Yan.
There was a steaming breakfast on the dining table downstairs. It seemed like Li Yan had predicted that she would wake up at this time.
Li Yan asked her as he walked, “It’s still snowing today. Are you still going to the Sun residence?”
Chu Luo thought for a while. “Is the photographer at our house? If so, let’s take our wedding photos today.”
“Okay.”
After saying that, Li Yan took out his phone and called the butler to prepare.
Chu Luo sat down to eat breakfast and asked him as she ate, “Did you see Uncle w.a.n.g and the others this morning?
“No. I’ve been in the study.”
Chu Luo didn’t ask further.
After the meal, Chu Luo and Li Yan went to their villa.
The butler had arranged two villas, one for the w.a.n.g family and the Wu family, and one for Tang Zhiyun and the others.
The two villas were very close.
When Chu Luo and the others went over, Daddy w.a.n.g was fis.h.i.+ng with Professor Wu. Mommy w.a.n.g said to Daddy w.a.n.g from behind, “It’s snowing so heavily. Why are you going fis.h.i.+ng? Professor Wu isn’t as free as you.”
Daddy w.a.n.g replied loudly, “You have to go fis.h.i.+ng in this weather to catch them. Just wait. I’ll catch dozens at noon and let you eat your fill.”
w.a.n.g Mingtao stuck his head out from behind Mommy w.a.n.g and said, “Dad, don’t be frozen into an ice popsicle. Mommy and I will have to save you if that should happen.”
“Hey! Are you looking for a beating, kid?”
Daddy w.a.n.g was about to beat him up.
Mommy w.a.n.g’s sharp eyes saw Chu Luo and Li Yan standing outside the villa and she quickly said, “Old w.a.n.g, quickly open the door. Little Chu and the others are here.”
When Daddy w.a.n.g heard this, he quickly opened the courtyard door and said with a brilliant smile, “Little Chu, CEO Li, come in quickly.”
Chu Luo and Li Yan walked in and everyone sat in the living room.
Chu Luo said, “Uncle w.a.n.g, if you want to go fis.h.i.+ng, bring two heaters with you.”
Daddy w.a.n.g immediately nodded. “Okay, okay.”
Mommy w.a.n.g hesitated for a moment but still asked the question in her heart, “Little Chu, tell Auntie honestly. Did something happen that made you get someone to bring us here overnight?”
Daddy w.a.n.g said to her in dissatisfaction, “What are you worried about? Will Little Chu harm us?”
w.a.n.g Mingtao nodded in agreement. “That’s right. Sister Chu must have brought us here for our own good.”
Mommy w.a.n.g was a little embarra.s.sed by the father-and-son duo and quickly explained, “Little Chu, don’t get the wrong idea. I didn’t mean that.”
The matter between the Qin family and the Duanmu family should be exposed soon. Chu Luo told them briefly, “You can follow the news. It’s a little chaotic outside these two days. It’s safer for you to stay here for the time being.”
The three members of the w.a.n.g family quickly nodded. Professor Wu’s family knew what was going on, so they didn’t say anything.
Chu Luo added, “But I have something on for the next two days, so I can’t accompany you.. If there’s anything you need, just tell the butler.”
