He looked up at the sun like an ordinary person. He found the sunlight to be comfortable.
He stretched his back.
He walked to the center of the courtyard.
Qin Jun and the others widened their eyes.
It was as if everyone had been immobilized, or as if they had been frozen on the spot, unable to move.
The only thing they could not control was their fear and trembling.
Lu Zhou's wizened face was calm.
He did not seem angry at all.
However, this lack of anger made them feel an irresistible sense of despair.
'This is terrible!'
They felt like crying.
Little Yuan 'er ran up to Lu Zhou and said with a smile, "Master, I'll massage your back every day from now on."
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction.
'She's worth teaching.
'This little girl is becoming more and more sensible.'
Thud!
Qin Jun could no longer control himself. He fell to his knees.
Hong Fu and the others fell to their knees as well.
Even Qin Shuo and Qin Ruobing who had just reached the courtyard's entrance were shocked. They fell to their knees and did not dare to move.
The atmosphere was strange and oppressive at this moment.
Lu Zhou looked at Qin Jun and said, "Tip off the Evil Faction?"
"I dare not!" Qin Jun kowtowed.
This was a matter of life and death for the entire clan.
When he answered, his voice was a full octave higher than before.
"My rascal, Yu Zhenghai … What did he give you?"
Qin Jun said, "Please understand, old mister … I'm only friends with Sect Master Yu."
"Friends?"
"I've never had any intention of harming the Evil Sky Pavilion! If I'm lying, I'll die a horrible death! "Qin Jun said forcefully.
Lu Zhou shook his head.
"What did Yu Zhenghai ask you to do?"
"Pass on the news from the Divine Capital and the palace. I've received a favor from you, old mister. I won't betray the Evil Sky Pavilion! "Qin Jun said as he looked at the ground.
"You've received a favor from me, and yet, you're repaying that rascal?"
"…"
Qin Jun's mind was blank.
This was not right no matter how he looked at it.
Lu Zhou's question caused Qin Jun to slump backward.
The old butler, Hong Fu, mustered up his courage and said, "If I may be so bold, I'm willing to die as an apology!"
In truth, Lu Zhou would not even spare a glance at someone like the old butler, Hong Fu.
But this butler was indeed different from ordinary people.
From the moment Lu Zhou stepped into the Prince of Qi Mansion, Hong Fu's performance was remarkable.
For this reason, Lu Zhou had a good impression of him.
"Speak."
The old steward couldn't care less and hurriedly said, "Master Yu didn't know you would come to the Fairy's Capital … If Master wanted to send a message, why would he wait until today?
"Indeed, the old master has some dealings with Sect Master Yu … However, the old master has said to Sect Master Yu that he would never do anything to harm the Evil Sky Pavilion. Otherwise, he would not work with him. There is a portrait of you in Master's study. If it wasn't for that, Master wouldn't have cherished this painting so much. "
These words sounded strange.
She was living a good life and was being cherished by a man all day long.
Awkward.
However, Lu Zhou's expression remained unchanged.
He had to pry more information out of Qin Jun's mouth.
Hong Fu waved at the servants beside him.
The servant hurriedly went to the study and soon returned with the portrait.
Indeed, it was Lu Zhou's portrait. However, he seemed to have weathered a lot, and his wrinkles were too thick.
In terms of appearance, he resembled Little Yuan 'er.
She looked at it and said with a smile, "Master, this isn't a good painting. It doesn't look like you."
Lu Zhou's gaze fell on the inscription at the side.
"My master, Ji Tiandao, lived forever until the spring of the 23rd year."
Next to the inscription was a crooked poem.
'It's fine if I don't look at it.'
Lu Zhou waved his hand. Energy wrapped around the portrait.
Smack!
The portrait was reduced to dust and scattered with the wind.
'How dare a rascal call himself master?'
"Heavenly Energy."
"Forgive me, old mister!"
Qin Jun and Hong Fu's foreheads touched the ground. They did not dare to move.
When Lu Zhou said these words, his tone was calm. He was not angry. He spoke from the bottom of his heart.
These four words had a double meaning and a profound meaning.
He knew Yu Zhenghai was after the entire world. In that case, would Yu Zhenghai covet the Evil Sky Pavilion's treasures?
However, when he thought about it carefully …
Hong Fu had a point. If Qin Jun truly harbored ill intentions, he would have informed Yu Zhenghai a long time ago. There was no need for him to wait until now.
"Old master waited for you to leave before informing Sect Master Yu … because Sect Master Yu said two things …" Hong Fu said.
"What two things?"
"I dare not tell you!"
Lu Zhou said nothing. He stared at Hong Fu with a piercing gaze.
'Indeed, you're a good person, and you're good at handling matters. However, that doesn't mean you can keep me guessing.'
Qin Jun said, "The first thing Sect Master Yu said was that he hoped you'd spend the rest of your life in the Evil Sky Pavilion."
"What's the second thing?" Little Yuan 'er asked curiously.
"The second thing Sect Master Yu said was that he hoped you'd never remember those things … The infamy of betraying the sect will return to dust, and dust to dust." After Qin Jun finished speaking, he added, "Word for word. That's what he said."
Little Yuan 'er was puzzled by his words.
"What do you mean?"
In truth, Qin Jun and Hong Fu did not understand the second thing as well.
However, Lu Zhou heard it.
There was a huge amount of information in it.
There were two meanings to this. First, Yu Zhenghai knew he had lost his memories. Second, there was more to Yu Zhenghai's betrayal.
There was a moment of silence.
Lu Zhou said, "Let the rascal come to the Divine Capital."
Upon hearing this, Qin Jun broke out in sweat.
He said, "Old mister … Even if your seventh disciple tried his best, he wouldn't be able to get Sect Master Yu to meet you, let alone me!"
"Why?" Little Yuan 'er's interest was piqued.
"Uh … I don't know," Qin Jun said.
When he saw that the atmosphere had changed, Old Hong kowtowed and said, "Please spare the Prince of Qi Mansion, old mister!"
The others cried out in unison, "Please spare the Prince of Qi Mansion, old mister!"
Lu Zhou said, "I'm not an unreasonable person.
"I'm not an unreasonable person … Out of consideration for your kindness, I can spare the Prince of Qi Manor."
"Thank you, old mister!" Qin Jun kowtowed along with the others.
"Ding! Worshipped by 15 devout individuals. Reward: 150 merit points."
Lu Zhou's expression remained calm when he heard the system's notification.
"However …"
Lu Zhou changed the topic. "I'm afraid you'll have to stay in the Evil Sky Pavilion for some time."
"Huh?"
The rest of the sentence was self-explanatory.
Since Qin Jun was acquainted with Yu Zhenghai, he must know something about Yu Zhenghai.
Lu Zhou would not let go of this clue.
Qin Jun seemed to understand why Lu Zhou was doing this as well.
He bowed and said, "I'm willing to tell you everything I know about Sect Master Yu."
It was at this moment that …
Dozens of cultivators flew above the Divine Capital at a low altitude.
The others looked up.
According to the law, flying in the Divine Capital was forbidden unless there were special circumstances or the Imperial city's guards.
The sudden appearance of the cultivators in the air caught the attention of the civilians below.
"Yuan 'er."
"Yes, master."
"Take him away."
