Chapter 67 - You Dare Tell a Lie?
Lu Zhou walked into the room with a stern expression on his face.
Zhao Yue was, indeed, awake, but she seemed weak as she lay on the bed. Moving seemed to be too great of an ordeal for her at this moment. Her cultivation base had been sealed, and she was subjected to the torment of the Brahman Lullaby. It was good enough that she managed to hold onto her life. She was able to stay alive due to her firm foundation.
Lu Zhou walked up to the table and slowly sat down. He looked at Zhao Yue.
Loyalty: 10%.
‘Just as expected,’ Lu Zhou thought to himself.
When Zhao Yue saw her master next to her, her face paled immediately. She quickly scrambled off the bed without minding her appearance or condition, causing her to nearly fall on the floor due to her weak limbs. Fortunately, Little Yuan’er caught her just in time.
“Master! This disciple knows that she has done wrong! I know that I have done wrong!” Zhao Yue did not even bother coming up with an excuse as she began to kowtow.
Zhao Yue continued for some time before Lu Zhou waved his arm and said indifferently, “That’s enough.”
When Lu Zhou left the room, Little Yuan’er helped Zhao Yue up. She said with a smile, “I knew that you’re not like Ye Tianxin, Senior Sister…”
Zhao Yue shook her head and said with a sigh, “In any case… I’ve made a mistake this time. If master didn’t bring me away from the holy altar, I would’ve been…”
Little Yuan’er said, “It’s alright. You don’t know this, but master displayed his majestic strength when we’re on the holy altar. Those self-righteous Noble Path’s sects and the Fiend Temple were all defeated!”
“Little Junior Sister… you were there?”
“Of course! There were many bald donkeys there as well. They kept buzzing like flies. I was irritated to no end…” Little Yuan’er conveniently left out the part where she had fallen asleep.
Zhao Yue sighed again. “You’re the only one who cares for me, Little Junior Sister.”
…
Lu Zhou had barely left Zhao Yue’s room when he saw the officers who investigated Zhuo Ping’s death. The few of them ran up the stairs toward him.
“My lord! I’ve finally found you.”
“You were looking for me?” Lu Zhou was puzzled. He had nothing to do with Zhuo Ping’s case. What would these officers want with him?
“We’re tasked with escorting you to the General’s residence in Runan City to make a statement,” an officer said as he went down on one knee.
“I’m busy.” Lu Zhou spat out two words coldly before he returned to his own and slammed the door shut.
The officer seemed to understand the situation at once. ‘How can I let the Lord run over to meet the General? Isn’t this just like taking his rank lightly?’ He quickly apologized, “My lord, I’ve spoken wrongly. It’s not my intention to make you travel there!”
Lu Zhou ignored him. Clearly, the royal token had found its way to the General’s residence in Runan City. The palace would be notified about this in half a day’s time as well. Would the elite who harmed Zhao Yue be bold enough to show up?
