Chapter 470 No Change

Mother Lu fell asleep peacefully, and Erdong didn't dare to make trouble anymore. He just secretly thought about how he could use this incident to sow discord and create an opportunity for his escape.

He knew that this was not very decent, but the feeling of having his life in someone else's hands was really too uncomfortable.

He just wants to live. He has not and will not do anything harmful to others. What's wrong with wanting a little freedom?

The car was warm and it was already evening when the group arrived at their resting place.

The coachmen were the most trusted servants of the Lu family. They kept their mouths shut and would never say anything they shouldn't.

The bleak autumn wind blew on his face. Mu Qing put a cloak on Hu Xiner and entered the inn.

"Sir, would you like to have a meal or stay overnight?" The innkeeper put on a smile when he saw that although they were dressed inconspicuously, they were all using horse-drawn carriages and were obviously merchants.

Before getting off the bus, Hu Xiner once again used her magic pen to change everyone's appearance, so it did not arouse anyone's suspicion.

After dinner, Mu Qing called everyone except Erdong to his room.

"Mu'er, what are you doing?" Mother Lu has been sleepy lately, but even though she sleeps almost all day, she still looks tired.

Seeing this, Mu Qing thought to himself that it seemed that Taoist Yiqing's inference was very likely to be true. His mother might really have been poisoned by the Boundless Poison. The toxin that was not completely eliminated was hidden in her body and only broke out today. This was why she always felt weak.

After all, if she was just generally mentally stimulated, she wouldn't feel so physically exhausted.

Lu Yunjue helped his mother sit down on the bed. There was no doubt on his face, but his expression was very cold.

He was also on the carriage, so he naturally heard the discussion between Mu Qing and others vaguely, and had some guesses in his mind about what would happen next.

It's just... he wasn't really looking forward to that.

Mu Qing was about to speak when Taoist Yiqing shook his head.

His face was solemn, his internal energy surged, and an invisible barrier appeared in the room.

Hu Xiner had seen this barrier in the underground stone chamber before, and was still shocked when she saw it again.

If she guessed correctly, the air of this era should contain gases that did not exist on Earth in the previous life.

That is the legendary vital energy, also called true energy.

Taoist Master Yiqing mastered this cultivation method, so he was able to create this magical barrier.

"This is a secret of our sect, kept secret from outsiders. Please don't tell anyone." Taoist Master Yiqing bowed to the crowd and said, "I have invited you all here today because I have an important matter to discuss."

Mother Lu looked puzzled. They had already fled the capital, so what important matter could there be?

She looked around and found that everyone except her had an expression of understanding.

Then, Taoist Master Yiqing took out a prescription and explained their discovery today.

Mother Lu was both surprised and delighted: "Is this Wanxiang Pill really so magical? Amitabha, we should really thank Master Yunhua!"

Taoist Master Yiqing smiled and said, "To ensure the authenticity of this matter, I have decided to go to that cliff with Jiang Yao soon to visit Master Yunhua."

Mother Lu chanted "Amitabha" a few more times, then stood up and thanked Taoist Master Yiqing.

How dare Taoist Yiqing accept the gift? He quickly dodged.

Mother Lu held Lu Yunjue's hand, her eyes full of joy: "Jue'er, why don't you thank the Taoist priest?"

Lu Yunjue bowed and said, "Thank you for your concern, uncle."

When everyone heard his name, they all laughed.

Mother Lu smiled proudly and said, "Although our Yun Jue has a cold appearance, he is very polite. He used to be a famous nobleman in the capital. After obtaining the Wanxiang Pill, he no longer needs to wear a mask when walking around."

Lu Yunjue hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't think you need to hold out such high hopes, Mother. This mask has become a part of me. The elixir is a waste of time and effort, so why not just look for it?"

Everyone was stunned.

Mother Lu said angrily, "Silly child, what are you talking about? Who would be happy wearing a mask all day long?"

Jiang Yao said quickly, "Are you worried about getting in trouble with Yiqing? He'll be your uncle sooner or later, so there's no need to overthink it!"

Taoist Master Yiqing was a little embarrassed, but nodded: "Although the medicinal materials for the elixir are hard to find, they are not impossible to find."

Lu Yunjue shook his head stubbornly: "I really don't need it."

He actually turned around and walked towards the door.

Mu Qing quickly stopped him, "Yun Jue, actually, I called you here today for another reason. I'm planning to get my face back!"

Lu Yunjue paused and asked, "Brother, do you feel guilty about using my face?"

"Yun Jue..." Mu Qing called out, "My face was replaced while I was unconscious. It wasn't intentional. If I had known you were still alive, I would never have..."

"Brother, there's no need to do this." Lu Yunjue turned around.

The yellowish candlelight in the inn shone on his face, and the mask on his face reflected silver light.

The mask was a common item, not particularly well made, and it covered most of the face, leaving only a pair of eyes visible.

But his figure was as tall and straight as a green pine or cypress, his black hair was tied up high, and even when he wore the simplest clothes, his whole demeanor was not that of an ordinary person.

If he walked on the street, there would definitely be little girls who didn't know the truth and would throw handkerchiefs at him.

On the surface, Lu Yunjue was not affected by the mask.

But anyone who is close to him knows how shy he is about his face.

He didn't even want anyone to touch his mask, and he never took it off on weekdays, even in front of his closest people.

But now, facing Mu Qing, who wanted to exchange faces with him, he said so seriously: "Brother, you don't have to feel guilty, and you don't have to feel that you have replaced my identity."

While everyone was stunned, he spoke calmly and indifferently, "Brother, you are the eldest son of the Lu family. If the poison hadn't been inherited only by you, you should have the same status as me. As for our faces, we are twins. How can my appearance be any different from yours?"

"No, Yun Jue..." Mu Qing wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Lu Yun Jue.

This young man who had truly crawled back from hell seemed to have a calmer mentality than anyone else present.

He said silently, "There's no need to talk about this anymore. My brother bore this evil retribution for twenty years, and now it's the same for me."

"Yun Jue, do you really have no resentment in your heart?" Jiang Yao asked in surprise.

It was she who was the one who pushed for the face-changing incident, and she felt somewhat guilty towards Lu Yunjue.

But Lu Yunjue actually said that he didn’t care about having an ugly appearance?
