Chapter 29 - A New Storm Arrived (1/2)

Creak… Little Tail pushed open the courtyard door and wanted to ask for breakfast today. Lu Yu had given her the task of asking for breakfast for the past few days, which allowed her to move around within the area of the medicine shop and courtyard.

The moment she stepped out, she saw a mangled corpse lying in the distance. She did not have any feelings towards the corpse. Over the years, she had seen many that were even worse than this one.

But who was the egg roll that was lying at the entrance of the courtyard?

Lu Yu had told her about the egg roll, and he had personally fried one for her to eat. Little Tail thought it was delicious. That person was wrapped exactly like an egg roll.

Little Tail did not know Han Yu, and she would never meddle in other people’s business.

However, when she saw Han Yu lying at the entrance of her place, she reached out to push Han Yu, wanting to wake her up.

“Wake up, wake up. Big sister, why are you sleeping in such a place? Get up quickly.”

“Mmm, don’t be noisy. Let me sleep for a while more.”

Little Tail continued to shake, wanting to wake Han Yu up.

“Who is it! I already said don’t be noisy, don’t touch me!” Han Yu felt someone shaking her and suddenly jolted awake. When she opened her eyes, she found herself wrapped in a blanket and sleeping outside of her room.

“Ah!” Han Yu let out a high-frequency, ear-piercing, and loud scream.

Little Tail covered her ears. She felt that her ears were going deaf.

“Who is it? Who dare to make early in the morning!”

Lu Yu, who had been tossing and turning in the night, finally fell asleep when the sky was about to brighten. He was awakened by Han Yu’s scream, and he roared with anger.

Early in the morning, all the people from the Ji Min Hall were woken up. Not only the Ji Min Hall, but all the employees of the Han estate in Windmill Town were also woken up.

The eldest daughter of the Han family had actually slept on the streets for an entire night. This was a huge matter. After Butler Zhang found out about it, he immediately rushed to Windmill Town.

When Butler Zhang arrived, the officials were checking the scene. When they saw Ma Gang, whose half of his body had been crushed, their expressions were somewhat solemn.

He recognized that this person was one of the members of the Wild Wolf Sect.

All the members of the Wild Wolf Sect, the Blood Blade Sect, the Fierce Tiger Sect, and other underground gangs had been thoroughly investigated by the Han Residence. Butler Zhang had seen the portraits of those people.

Constable Li, who held the highest position at the scene, saw Butler Zhang. He came to Butler Zhang and said, “Looking at the situation at the scene, it should be Ma Gang was trying to kidnap Miss Han Yu. When he left, he ran into a strong expert who was passing by. The strong expert acted bravely and killed Ma Gang with one palm strike.”

“As for Miss Han Yu, my people found traces of knockout powder at the edge of the quilt. That’s why she was unaware that she was sleeping on the street. It could be that the expert who passed by had something urgent to attend to and left, so he left Miss Han Yu here.”

Although Han Yu was lying at the entrance of Lu Yu’s small courtyard, and Ma Gang seemed to have been killed by a single palm strike from the direction of the small courtyard, no one suspected Lu Yu.

No one thought that Lu Yu could kill a martial cultivator at the sixth level of the body refining realm in an instant.

What puzzled Constable Li was that Ma Gang’s injuries seemed to have been caused by a heavy object. However, when he thought that some powerful martial cultivators could also produce similar effects with their bare hands, he gave up that thought.

Moreover, it didn’t matter how Ma Gang died. What was important was that the Wild Wolf Sect had attacked Han Yu.

Lu Yu looked at Butler Zhang and Constable Li in the crowd. He was glad that he did not touch Han Yu. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain what had happened last night.

He did not want to reveal his strength so soon. In his opinion, it would be best to expose Yang Xiu after he had cultivated to the qi cultivating realm.

If Yang Xiu escaped, he would mistake that Lu Yu was only a body refining realm martial art cultivator and seek revenge on him. As a result, Lu Yu, who had hidden his strength, would have the chance to defeat Yang Xiu.

This was the most perfect scenario.

Lu Yu would be much safer if the others did not know about his true strength.

There were still many doubts about this matter, but Butler Zhang did not intend to investigate further.

The main point now was that the mastermind had already started to attack Han Yu. It was very likely that he wanted to kidnap Han Yu and threaten the Han Residence. The most important thing now was to protect Han Yu.

What was even more fatal was that the clues regarding the spies in the Han Residence were lost.

When they investigated the cause of the fire in Han Residence, they found that the fire was not very big at the beginning. There was no need for so many people from the outer court to put out the fire. Therefore, the person who went to call the outer court’s guards to put out the fire was very suspicious.

When Butler Zhang found out about this, he was surprised to find that the person had already died in the battle last time. He had no way to start and could not continue to investigate.

The other direction was the Raging Flame Palm that killed the guard in the study room.

Under the instructions of Han Yaozu, Butler Zhang followed the martial art cultivators who had practiced the Raging Flame Palm in the Han Residence. So far, he had not found anything unusual.

Seeing Lu Yu in the crowd, he walked toward him and motioned Lu Yu to talk to him.

“Did you get anything during this period of time?” Butler Zhang asked.

“A little. The members of the Wild Wolf Sect, the Blood Blade Sect, and the Fierce Tiger Sect all left Windmill Town and hid in the deep mountains and forests.” Lu Yu said casually.

Butler Zhang’s eyes were slightly disappointed. He also knew about this matter.
