C13 (1/2)

Unexpectedly, the two mages said all sorts of things, but in reality, they were just embroidery pillows. They only had appearances, but lacked the ability. After fighting with Hu Mei, he was no match for her at all, and in just a few rounds, Hu Mei had beaten him to the point where she only had half his life left.

The Wang Family's Old Master and his wife's actions had angered Hu Mei. Not only did she take over the Duke's Palace, she was now resentful towards Liu Cheng, and even the Liu Palace next door was implicated.

It wasn't easy for Liu Cheng to escape from the manor, and he sprinted all the way to the Han Shan Grand Princess Mansion to ask for Lu Zhinan's help. Unexpectedly, after a few words with the attendant at the entrance, he was caught by the five ghosts that Hu Mei had sent back.

Lu Zhinan opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment. After being silent for a long while, Lu Zhinan finally said: ”Wang Bo and Liu Cheng are my subordinates, I cannot ignore them.”

Fang Miaomiao secretly shook her head. It was said that Lu Zhinan was a kind and gentle person, it was no wonder his subordinates were so dependant on him, even fearless. If there was any trouble that he could not solve, they would just throw it at him.

”Who cares, we can't interfere in everything. If you are to indulge them like this, and cause a great disturbance that cannot be resolved, what will happen? ” Fang Miaomiao said.

Lu Zhinan's eyes were half closed, as if he had thought of something.

”Then, shall we allow Hu Mei to commit heinous acts?”

Fang Miaomiao glanced at Lu Zhinan indifferently and said, ”As for the monsters that have just cultivated to human form, although they have gained intelligence, they have never received the teachings of the Holy Commandment of Saints. Their natures are uncontrollable, they are wild and rebellious, and hard to control. ”Since a person has already died, I will not stand by and watch, but everything has its own reasons, if not for Wang Bo's greed for beauties, I will not be bewitched by the fox spirit. If it wasn't for the Wang family's old master and wife acting rashly, there would not be such a disaster today.”

The meaning in his words was that although Wang Bo and the Wang Family were victims, they themselves also had responsibilities that couldn't be avoided.

When he came to the Duke Palaces again, the scene that greeted his eyes was completely different from the last time. Even Lu Zhinan felt that something was amiss.

”Why is it so cold?”

Late summer and early autumn. It was a fine day for the wind and the sun. However, wherever the black gas lingered, a cold aura permeated the air. It was as if one was in the middle of a freezing winter.

Lu Zhinan said as a matter of fact, ”Heavenly Master Fang, I will go with you so that you can find a helper.”

Fang Miaomiao replied disapprovingly: ”No need. If I can't even control a single fox spirit, this teacher is already done for. You just wait outside. ”

After Fang Miaomiao finished speaking, she did not wait for Lu Zhinan to speak anymore and stepped forward. In a few breaths time, her figure disappeared into the gloomy black aura.

Lu Zhinan paced back and forth, continuously looking inside the Duke Palace. Although he did his best to control it, he was still worried. Judging from Hu Mei's methods over the past few days, it seemed that she wasn't doing the right thing. Fang Miaomiao had been entrusted by him, how could he let her walk into danger alone?

Lu Zhinan tightened his grip on the cyan sword hanging around his waist, his eyes firm: ”Forget it, let's go in first and talk later.”

He leaped up and lightly climbed over the wall. The surroundings of the mansion were all yellow and gray. The flowers and trees withered away, and the withered leaves scattered in all directions. Occasionally, someone would pass in front of him; his movements were stiff.

Lu Zhinan unconsciously lowered his footsteps, afraid that he would alert the rest of the people. Who would have thought that when those people saw him, they would be expressionless and turn a blind eye to him?

With doubts in his heart, Lu Zhinan passed through a Moon Cave Gate. In front of him was an endless ocean, with waves surging from afar and stretching to the horizon layer by layer.
