“Have you found that courtyard guard named Lu Yu?”

“He lives in the small courtyard behind the Ji Min Hall. He often goes out during the day and only comes back at night.”

“Should we send someone to probe and see if he has really found any clues?” The chief of the Fierce Tiger Sect asked. He didn’t believe what Yang Xiu said a few days ago.

Yang Xiu said that the guard named Lu Yu might have found clues about them, but they had been in this hidden place for so long and no one had come looking for them.

“For what? Just kill him.” the chief said. A trace of cruelty flashed in his dark eyes.

He said to a martial art cultivator of the Wild Wolf Sect behind him, “Ma Gang, go to the town and kill that Lu Yu when he is in the courtyard at night.”

“Okay.” Ma Gang replied and left the hiding place.

He had been holding it in here for a long time. Now that he had a chance to leave, he would go to the town to have some fun first.

Lu Yu was just a newcomer who had just entered the Han Residence and started cultivating. No matter how talented he was, he was at most at the third level of the body refining realm.

Ma Gang had already broken through to the fifth level of the body refining realm in the previous battle. Killing a third level body refining realm was as easy as flipping his hand.

…

After Lu Yu cultivated for a while, someone ran over to tell him that Han Yu was coming to town.

“Miss is coming to town. But why are you telling me?” Lu Yu was a little puzzled. Han Yu could come if she wanted to, but what did it have to do with him?

“Miss said she wants to see you, so the shopkeeper asked me to inform you to prepare to meet miss.”

“For what?” Lu Yu was even more confused now. He thought, “I have nothing to do with her! Why does she want to see me all of a sudden?”

However, he was now a servant of the Han Residence. If the Miss of the Han Residence wanted to see him, he could not refuse. After telling Little Tail to stay in the courtyard and not come out, he followed the guards to the Ji Min Hall.

Seeing the shopkeeper standing at the door looking outside, Lu Yu asked curiously, “Shopkeeper, do you know why Miss wants to see me?”

“How would I know? I just received the news that Miss is coming to town.”

Well, since no one knew, then he could only wait to see Miss Han Yu and find out the reason.

The two stood at the door of the Ji Min Hall. The shopkeeper kept looking at the entrance of the town while Lu Yu leaned against the door and watched the people coming and going on the street.

Suddenly, he realized that a person seemed to be looking at him. When he focused his attention, the person in the dark alley had already disappeared.

Lu Yu became vigilant in his heart. He didn’t know who was spying on him.

“Was that someone sent by the shopkeeper of the Divine Weapon Pavilion?” He shouldn’t have exposed his identity, but he had sold iron essence so many times. It was possible that he was targeted because of his iron essence.

Or perhaps it was Boss Tang. He had asked him the day before yesterday how much iron essence he needed to strengthen the Hundred Forged Greatsword. So Boss Tang might have some ulterior motives to his iron essence.

Or perhaps he was targeted by someone else after he went to the Divine Weapon Pavilion many times?

Lu Yu felt that it could not be the Wild Wolf Sect and the other forces. That was because he had not been investigating any clues about them recently, so there was no reason for them to look for him.

While Lu Yu was indulging in his wild thoughts, the medicine store’s shopkeeper saw the Han Residence team that had appeared at the intersection of Windmill Town. He hurriedly said, “They’re here. Young Miss is here. Get ready to welcome them.”

Everyone lined up in two rows at the medicine store’s entrance. Lu Yu and the shopkeeper stood at the front. When the litter carrying Han Yu stopped at the medicine store’s entrance, everyone shouted in unison, “Welcome, Young Miss.”

Han Yu walked out of the litter. She was dressed in a neutral suit, and her body curves could be seen — she was as flat as a pancake.

Seeing that everyone nodded, she walked into the medicine shop and went up to the second floor.

When she went up the stairs, she turned around and asked, “Who is Lu Yu? Come up and see me.”

This Miss Han was really arrogant and exaggerating her arrival. She was stepping out from a fancy litter, and she had a cold attitude towards her subordinates. Even Butler Zhang was not as arrogant as her.

“Yes,” Lu Yu replied and followed Han Yu’s bodyguard up to the second floor.

Seeing that Yang Xiu didn’t follow Han Yu out today, Lu Yu heaved a sigh of relief.

Usually, Han Yu would ask Yang Xiu to protect her when she went out. Lu Yu did not know what had happened, but Han Yu’s bodyguard became someone else.

Looking at Lu Yu who was standing in front of her, Han Yu sized him up with a calm expression and said, “You don’t seem to have anything special about you. Why do Second Uncle and Butler Zhang value you so much?”

Lu Yu didn’t say anything. He just looked at her quietly and thought about his own matters.

Han Yu frowned. Lu Yu’s calm gaze made her feel a little uncomfortable. She didn’t see anyone else’s respect for her in Lu Yu’s eyes. It was as if she was just an ordinary passerby in Lu Yu’s eyes.

Lu Yu recalled what Butler Zhang had said to her last time. Why did Butler Zhang value him so much? Moreover, judging from Han Yu’s tone, Butler Zhang was not the only one who valued her but her second uncle as well.

Who was her second uncle? Han Yu’s second uncle was Han Yaozu’s younger brother. Wasn’t that Han Yaozong? Even this big shot was paying attention to him.

Lu Yu was a little flustered. He was a little fearful knowing that he was being noticed by the big shots.

“Hey! Are you listening to what I’m saying?” Han Yu said for a long time and realized that Lu Yu did not react at all.

“Yes, I’m listening very seriously.” Lu Yu came back to his senses and quickly replied. He thought, “What did she say just now?”

“Alright, let me tell you, there’s no hope for you. You can’t compare to Brother Yang in any way. Brother Yang is more handsome than you, more gentlemanly than you, more intelligent than you, more…”
