Chapter 402 - Soul Locking Array
Chapter 402: Soul Locking Array
Li Yan went to the Duanmu residence early in the morning. It was impossible for him to stay there for a day.
Chu Luo thought for a moment and took out her phone to call Li Yan.
The other party quickly picked up, but it wasn’t Li Yan.
The other party said, “Hello, Miss Chu. I’m Old Master Duanmu’s servant.”
Chu Luo narrowed her eyes and said in a displeased tone, “Why is Yan’s phone with you?”
The Duanmu family servant: “Young Master Li doesn’t have time to answer the call at this time, so he asked me to help him answer it.”
Chu Luo didn’t believe her. She asked, “What is Yan doing?”
The servant of the Duanmu family hesitated and said, “Erm… Erm…”
Chu Luo hung up.
The butler was close to her and had also heard the answer on the other end. Worried that Chu Luo would misunderstand, he said, “Miss Chu, there’s only one reason why Master’s phone isn’t with him. Someone must have deliberately taken his phone away to make you misunderstand.”
“I know.”
Chu Luo believed in Li Yan.
She was only thinking about the purpose of the Duanmu family’s actions.
After thinking for a while, she said to the butler, “Butler, go prepare the car first. We’ll go to the Duanmu residence.”
“Erm…” The butler was stunned for a moment before saying,” Miss Chu, we might not be able to enter. ”
When Chu Luo heard this, she looked up at the butler.
The butler said, “Master usually only brings one bodyguard in when he goes. The others can only wait in the outer courtyard of the Duanmu residence.”
When Chu Luo heard this, the corners of her lips curled up into a sneer.
The Duanmu family had obviously deliberately made Li Yan stay today. She wanted to see why they had made him stay.
“You don’t have to follow me. I can go alone.”
As Chu Luo spoke, she walked out.
She had a car parked outside the villa courtyard.
The butler quickly followed her. “Miss Chu, could it be that the Duanmu family did it on purpose? If you go…”
“It’s okay. The Duanmu family can’t stop me.”
Chu Luo quickly walked out of the courtyard and came to her car.
After taking out the key and opening the car door, Chu Luo got in and said to the butler, “We’ll be back soon. You can prepare something for Yan to eat.”
The butler thought for a while and nodded. “Miss Chu, please be careful.”
Chu Luo nodded and drove out.
Chu Luo stopped the car outside the Duanmu residence.
There were a few guards standing outside the Duanmu residence.
The guards stared at her car.
Chu Luo looked at the vigilant gazes of the guards and the corners of her lips curled up. She took out a talisman from her Heaven-and-Earth pouch and transformed the talisman into herself. Then, she asked Phoenix to teleport her to Old Master Duanmu’s villa.
As expected, Li Yan was sitting in the living room of Old Master Duanmu’s villa.
Old Master Duanmu sat in the host’s seat while Li Yan sat beside him. The masters of the Duanmu family were also there.
At this moment, no one spoke. Second Master Duanmu and Third Master Duanmu were drinking tea.
Eldest Master Duanmu stared at Li Yan.
Old Master Duanmu held a Buddha Bead and closed his eyes slightly.
Li Yan’s expression was cold. If one looked carefully, they could see the impatience in his eyes.
Chu Luo glanced at the people in the living room, then retracted her gaze and sized up the surroundings of the courtyard. There were several array formations set up inside, and the energy fluctuation was very strong.
Among them, the most powerful was the Soul Locking Array.
“Li Yan,” Eldest Master Duanmu suddenly said, “Have you thought about what we discussed with you?”
“Is that why you detained me here?”
Li Yan tapped his fingers on the table and pursed his lips into a displeased line.
“We didn’t detain you. If you want to leave, you can leave immediately.”
Third Master Duanmu said loudly, “But you have to think carefully. Your woman is a soul reincarnated from a corpse. It’s impossible for her soul to be one hundred percent compatible with her current body. We just want to cooperate with you to enter that tomb. There must be a divine artifact inside that can help your woman. Are you really not tempted?”
When Li Yan heard this, he lowered his eyes and was obviously thinking.
Chu Luo finally knew why these people could make Li Yan stay here for so long.
So they already knew that she was reincarnated.
However, she was a little surprised. How did these people know?
Or perhaps it was related to the person who had cast the barrier in this courtyard.
At this moment, Eldest Master Duanmu suddenly said, “Your woman is here. She’s outside the door.”
Li Yan clenched his fists on the table, still as cold as ever.
At this moment, Old Master Duanmu said, “Then call Little Chu in. Since she’s here to look for Little Li, we can’t let a girl like her wait outside the door.”
Eldest Master Duanmu nodded and moved his Bluetooth earpiece. He said, “Invite Miss Chu in.”
“No need.”
Li Yan finally exuded a powerful cold aura.
“Let Luoluo wait for me outside. I’ll go out later.”
“Li Yan.” Second Master Duanmu tried to persuade him kindly. “Even Master Huiqing said that your woman’s soul and that body aren’t 100% compatible. She might only be able to live for ten or twenty years. Don’t you want her to accompany you for the rest of your life?”
Third Master Duanmu chimed in, “Don’t blame us for keeping you here. We’re doing this for your own good.”
Li Yan glanced at the three of them coldly and finally at Old Master Duanmu.
Old Master Duanmu coughed twice. The three masters of the Duanmu family quickly walked over worriedly to pat his back and serve him tea.
“Father, are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”
Old Master Duanmu waved at them, gesturing for them to go back and sit.
He looked at Li Yan, his previous spirited gaze becoming a little tired. He said earnestly in his elder tone,
“Little Li, I know you’re blaming me for keeping you here today, but… since Master Huiqing said so, it must be true. I also want you to be happy for the rest of your life.”
Li Yan still pursed his lips and didn’t say anything.
Chu Luo stared at Li Yan and walked towards the door.
However, just as she reached the door, a golden light emitted from her feet.
Chu Luo looked at the golden light under her feet and smiled.
The smile didn’t reach the depths of her eyes.
She stopped and planned to go meet the person who had set up the barrier before coming back to take Li Yan away.
The person who had set up the barrier was nearby.
Chu Luo found him quickly.
Looking at the monk sitting cross-legged and reciting scriptures, Chu Luo walked up to him.
The monk opened his eyes and seemed to see the invisible Chu Luo.
Chu Luo appeared.
“You’re Huiqing?”
After saying that, she raised her hand and deliberately turned a circle in front of him. She smiled and said, “You’re not Huiqing.”
The monk looked at her calmly and benevolently. “Patron, you don’t belong to this world. You should leave immediately.”
Chu Luo tilted her head and asked, “You’re a fake monk. Where should I go if I leave?”
The monk suddenly looked up at her.
The smile on Chu Luo’s face widened. “If you’re a real monk, you should know that even the gods in your world can’t control me, let alone a monk like you.”
After saying that, her body quickly emitted a red light.
After the red light, all the barriers set up by the Duanmu family were shattered.
Astonishment flashed across the monk’s eyes as he chanted, “Amitabha!”
“Hehe.”
Chu Luo smiled. “You locked my man here, yet the Duanmu family deliberately said that he could leave whenever he wanted. It’s really interesting.”
After saying that, she extended her arm and the Phoenix Seal on it flashed.
The monk looked at the phoenix mark and his body trembled.
He quickly stood up, pressed his palms together, and bowed to her before turning to leave.
Chu Luo narrowed her eyes and looked at the departing monk. Behind him, she said, “In the future, I don’t want to hear people say that I reincarnated from a corpse and that they want to take my soul away. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.”
The monk immediately sped up.
Only then did Chu Luo return to Old Master Duanmu’s villa.
Coincidentally, the Chu Luo transformed from the talisman she had left in the car had been brought in.
Chu Luo tapped her finger. When the guards froze, she walked over and put away the talisman.
She then tapped the guard.
The guard said to Chu Luo, “Miss Chu, they’re in the living room. Please.”
Chu Luo walked towards the door.
The moment she walked in, everyone looked at her.
Li Yan stood up from his chair at the same time and walked up to her. After sizing her up, the cold aura on his body finally decreased a little.
Chu Luo raised her hand and grabbed his hand. She looked up at Old Master Duanmu and said with a smile, “Grandpa Duanmu, you’ve kept Yan for so long. Can I take him away now?”
Old Master Duanmu stared into her eyes and revealed a gratified smile. “Young Li didn’t misjudge you. With such a girl who dotes on you, you will definitely live increasingly well in the future.”
“Grandpa Duanmu is right. Yan and I will live to be a hundred years old. When that time comes, I will still like him very, very much.”
As Chu Luo spoke, she looked at him with her big, sparkling eyes.
Li Yan held her hand back and a trace of a smile flashed across his eyes.
“Hahaha…” Old Master Duanmu laughed and said, “What an unabashed young lass. But this is good too. Young Li is just too boring. A warm young lass like you should live with him. ”
“Grandpa Duanmu is right.”
After saying that, Chu Luo glanced at the others from the Duanmu family and deliberately said, “Then we’ll leave first.”
She then pulled Li Yan towards the door.
The people from the Duanmu family stared at the two of them, obviously waiting for something.
However, when the two of them walked out of the door and out of the villa, nothing happened.
Third Master Duanmu suddenly said, “That shouldn’t be the case! Why isn’t there any reaction at all?”
Old Master Duanmu’s expression darkened a little. He said, “Go and ask what’s going on with the master you invited.”
