Chapter 391 - The Pitiful Case of the Mother-Daughter Pair
Chapter 391: The Pitiful Case of the Mother-Daughter Pair
When Netherworld, who followed them, saw his king’s appearance, he could not bear to look at him.
In his impression, even if the King was smiling, it was definitely a sinister smile.
Not this honest-looking smile…
Seeing that there were only three people, Shangguan Dian was puzzled. “Where’s Official Lu? He hasn’t come out yet?”
Lu Zhou said calmly, “Something happened in the Netherworld. He went back first.”
“Oh.”
Shangguan Dian nodded to express his understanding.
Two days later, Huang Yang Town.
“The human world is still the best. It’s bustling!”
In the crowd, Shangguan Dianfu sighed as he walked.
Netherworld followed him and stared at the crowd warily, as if afraid that they would hurt Shangguan Dian.
Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan wore bamboo hats and walked silently behind Lu Zhou.
Now, the other them were still around. If they appeared now, they would probably scare a lot of people.
“Ah Zhou, are we going to the Lu family’s restaurant directly?”
After returning to the Demon Realm for nearly a month, Shangguan Dian was craving for food.
“Master, bring Uncle Demon King to the restaurant first. Lord and I can’t show ourselves yet.”
“Can’t show yourselves?”
Lu Zhou did not know that the duo used paper figurines and spiritual awareness as substitutes. Hence, when he heard this, he mistakenly thought that they had encountered some danger.
“Before I went to the Demon Realm, I used a paper figurine as a substitute. If I’m not wrong, that paper figurine should be helping in the restaurant now.”
Lu Zhou frowned. “Never again.”
Although a paper human double was convenient, if they were seen through, the caster would suffer a backlash and might even lose his life.
Lu Sheng nodded. “I understand, Master. I had no choice but to use this method back then.”
Lu Zhou nodded. “Okay, go back first.”
“Goodbye.”
Chu Sihan nodded at them before leaving the crowd with Lu Sheng.
After entering the alley, the two of them parted ways.
After Lu Sheng returned to the Lu Mansion to wash up, she started sleeping. She planned to wait for the paper figurine to return before appearing.
On Chu Sihan’s side, he had just returned to his courtyard when he realized that Chu Yun was standing under the roof with a troubled expression.
Beside him were Shi Yi and Yun Ting.
Yun Ting frowned. “What happened to Brother Chu these few days? Why didn’t he come out?”
“Isn’t that so?” Shi Yi sighed softly. “Magistrate Fu has been here a few times.”
Magistrate Fu?
Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows slightly. Why did Fu Xianyun want to see him?
Chu Yun said with a worried expression, “Lord was clearly fine previously, but he has been staying in the study room these few days, not allowing anyone to enter. He doesn’t come out as well. He only ate a little. I’m afraid that if this goes on, Lord’s body won’t be able to take it.”
Chu Sihan smiled faintly and made a hand seal in the void.
In the study room, ‘Chu Sihan,’ who was sitting silently, suddenly turned into a wisp of red smoke and crawled out of the door.
As Yun Ting, Shi Yi, and Chu Yun were worried about Chu Sihan, they did not notice the wisp of red smoke floating past their heads.
Chu Sihan retracted his spiritual awareness. Instantly, what had happened in the Chu Mansion and Huang Yang Town recently flashed across his mind.
It turned out that Fu Xianyun had been looking for him recently because a mother-daughter pair had been killed in town. Their deaths were tragic.
Their hearts and eyeballs had been dug out, and their bodies were hung outside the door.
Fu Xianyun personally went to investigate and had been searching for the murderer for the past few days. He even specially asked the mother-daughter pair’s neighbors, but everyone said that there was no commotion before they died.
It was only the next day when a neighbor passed by and discovered their corpses that this was reported to the officials.
