PS: The Fourteenth Guild has been born. Guild Master Dark Wing V!
The two maids closed the door and returned to the pagoda with a smile.
Lu Yurong's mood improved a little after the slap, and her gloominess dissipated.
She had been thinking about Tian Shi and San Niang.
She laughed at their idiocy, but she also realized that her views had been shaken. She had thought that benefits were always the most important thing in this world, that emotions were fragile in front of benefits, and that love was hypocritical and laughable, not worth mentioning.
However, she had seen it with her own eyes, and had even killed two infatuated people with her own hands. It was a huge blow to her.
She tried her best to remain calm and peaceful, but found herself thinking about the two of them. San Niang's sweet smile and Tian Shi's tears kept appearing in her mind.
She tossed and turned last night and did not sleep well. She was still depressed this morning.
She did not regret her ruthlessness. If she had not been ruthless, the people from the Imperial Residence would have been the ones to suffer. However, she could not get rid of the frustration in her heart after killing the two of them.
Leng Feng's arrival was like a knife's edge. Not teaching him a lesson was already a testament to her self-control.
She got up and left the pagoda. Opening the door, the two maids followed her out.
"Miss, where are you going?" One of the maids asked softly.
"Is the mourning hall set up?"
"Yes, it was set up last night."
"Let's go take a look."
"What's there to see about two assassins?"
"Little? Little?
"Yes." The two maids did not dare to provoke her anymore, and obediently followed her to the mourning hall.
As Lu Yurong's confidants, they naturally knew about Leng Feng.
The mourning hall was set up in a grand manner, with white curtains and fluttering paper money.
Leng Feng's memorial tablet was placed in the hall.
The Imperial Residence put it up for others to see, so it was no wonder that Leng Feng went crazy. It was too inauspicious for a living person to have a memorial tablet, and he could not appear in the Fairy's Capital from now on.
If he appeared, it would be implicating his parents, which was tantamount to saying that they had lied to everyone.
Lu Yurong walked straight to a small mourning hall next to it.
There were two coffins in the small mourning hall. The dark purple coffins exuded a chilly aura, and the mourning hall was exceptionally cold.
There was no one else in this small mourning hall. It was cold and cheerless, and there was only an incense burner. The incense still lingered in the air.
When the two maids stepped into the mourning hall, their footsteps were hesitant and somewhat afraid.
Lu Yurong first lit a stick of incense and bowed in front of the two coffins. Then, she straightened up and stared at them, motionless. The image of San Niang's sweet smile appeared in her mind, and she sighed.
"Miss, are these the two assassins?"
"Yes," Lu Yurong said lightly.
The two maids whispered, "Why are we offering incense to them?"
Lu Yurong snorted.
The two girls quickly shut their mouths and stood aside.
After a long while, Lu Yurong sighed and said in a low voice, "The two of you will accompany each other on the road to hell. You will be together forever. Don't blame me."
She patted the coffin and turned to leave.
When she was about to step out of the mourning hall, she suddenly stopped and frowned in silence.
The two girls were about to follow her out when they asked, "Miss?"
Lu Yurong frowned and did not say a word. She stood still at the entrance of the mourning hall.
The two maids knew that she was deep in thought and did not want to disturb her, so they watched her quietly.
After a while, Lu Yurong frowned and said, "Something's wrong!"
"What's wrong?" The two girls asked.
Lu Yurong returned to the coffin and scoffed, "Open it!"
"Ah — —?" The two maids were shocked and said awkwardly, "Miss, once the coffin is closed, it can't be opened again. It will disturb their peace and be disrespectful to them."
"Hmph, the coffin is empty!" Lu Yurong scoffed, "Little? Close? Up?
"Empty?" The two girls were shocked.
Their small hands hit the four corners of the coffin a few times. Then, they placed their hands on the lid and slowly lifted it up. They closed their eyes and held their breath, then turned their heads to the back, "Miss, is it really empty?"
"Hmph, it's empty!" Lu Yurong said coldly.
The two girls quickly looked inside and found that it was indeed empty. It was an empty coffin.
With their fear gone, they put down the lid and looked inside. They asked curiously, "Why are there two empty coffins?"
"Where did they go?"
"Could it be that they didn't die and escaped by themselves?"
The two maids discussed softly.
"Didn't die?" Lu Yurong's expression changed and she turned to leave.
The two maids quickly chased after her, "Miss?"
"Close the coffin back, you don't have to follow me," Lu Yurong waved her hand.
She left the Imperial Residence of King Jing and went to the Imperial Residence of King An.
Chief Zhu hurried out to welcome her with a face full of smiles and great enthusiasm.
"Chief Zhu, where's Chu Li?" Lu Yurong curtsied and asked calmly.
"The Head Chief has instructed that when Miss Lu comes, please go to his courtyard," Chief Zhu said with a smile.
Lu Yurong said lightly, "Thank you, Chief Zhu."
"I don't dare, I don't dare," Chief Zhu quickly waved his hand and led the way with a smile on his face.
When they arrived at Chu Li's courtyard, Chief Zhu quickly bid farewell and left.
Lu Yurong pushed the door open and entered. She saw Chu Li in a white robe, sitting alone in the pagoda and drinking tea. He was surrounded by a desolate aura.
The fragrance of the tea lingered in the air. It was a superb tea.
She walked into the pagoda and sat opposite Chu Li, bringing with her a cold fragrance. Her limpid eyes stared at him.
Chu Li smiled and pushed the teacup to her, "Try it."
"You did it, didn't you?" Lu Yurong said coldly.
Chu Li looked up at her, "What?"
"Tian Shi and San Niang!" Lu Yurong laughed coldly, "Did you give them the Spirit Blessing Pill?"
Chu Li raised his eyebrows and smiled, "As expected of Lu Yurong."
"It was you, despicable!" Lu Yurong gritted her teeth and said hatefully.
Chu Li shook his head and smiled, "How can I say that? You killed your people and I saved mine. Neither of us delayed the other. Isn't that a happy ending?"
Lu Yurong's eyes flashed and she stared at him coldly, a sarcastic smile hanging on the corner of her mouth, "You took advantage of me!"
She had thought it through on the way here. Chu Li took advantage of her. Not only did he get her to help, he also got Tian Shi and San Niang back.
Both of them were killed by her and he saved them. That was a life-saving grace.
With his life-saving grace, with his means, these two would definitely be used by him.
One was a strategist from the Imperial Residence of King Jing. He was extremely intelligent and knew the ins and outs of the Imperial Residence of King Jing. The other was a disciple of the Holy Church of Light and was well-versed in the martial arts of the Holy Church of Light. To the Imperial Residence of King Jing, these two were scourges that needed to be eliminated. But to Chu Li, they were invaluable!
Chu Li said, "Actually, Miss Lu, you're thinking too much. I didn't save them because I wanted to use them. I just couldn't bear to let them die like this. If people as affectionate as them died, the world might not be too boring."
"Ridiculous!" Lu Yurong said coldly, "You wanted to use them anyway. You just mixed in a little sympathy!"
Chu Li shook his head, "I don't want just anyone."
"You've taken advantage of me and you're still pretending!" Lu Yurong scoffed, "How did you arrange for them?"
Chu Li said, "They will enter the House of High Duke. Coincidentally, Master Xiao Tieying needs a strategist. Tian Shi is the most suitable."
