Chapter 486 Liu Se's Revenge

It turned out to be Taoist Master Yiqing walking hurriedly on the road, holding Lu Yunjue in his hand!

But at this moment, Lu Yunjue's condition did not look very good.

His mask was half hanging on his face, revealing a horrible red mark on his forehead. He was curled up in the Taoist priest's arms, his body hunched over like a shrimp. It was obvious that he was in extreme pain, and his head was covered in cold sweat.

Passersby all avoided it when they saw it.

Several people whispered to each other: "Isn't this a seizure?"

"It's really unlucky to meet such an unlucky person."

"Alas, there's nothing we can do about it. I don't know which child is so unlucky."

"Hey, why does that person look familiar to me?"

"Am I mistaken? I think these two people are strangers."

"Is that the one who danced with swords in the north of the city? I heard that Miss Du spent a fortune and bought a monster!"

…

Their evasive looks, along with the slander, reached Lu Yunjue's ears. He used the last of his strength to press his mask tightly to prevent it from falling and to protect himself from more malicious slander.

Inside the inn, Mother Lu was leaning in Jiang Yao's arms, drinking water in small sips.

She slept for a few days and took the medicine given by Doctor Dou on time and in the correct dosage without interruption, so her complexion looked much better than before.

It's just that the toxins in the body have been re-stimulated but not completely eradicated, so he doesn't look very well.

She looked around and saw that Jiang Yao was the only one in the room, so she asked worriedly, "Yaoyao, where's Jue'er? Is he in danger?"

"What are you thinking, sister?" Jiang Yao consoled her. "We've already gotten rid of the Crown Prince's men and arrived in Qingzhou. Jue'er and the others are bored, so they went out to play."

"That's good." Mother Lu relaxed her brows. "Young people like them need to go out more often."

Jiang Yao chatted with her, but there was a hint of worry in her heart.

In fact, she didn't know what Lu Yunjue was doing outside.

Suddenly, there were some messy footsteps outside the door.

Mother Lu frowned and asked, "Are Juer and the others back? Why did they leave in such a hurry? Did something happen?"

Jiang Yao listened carefully and determined from the footsteps that they were those of the Taoist priest. However, the Taoist priest would never be in such a hurry on ordinary days, so something must have happened.

Oh no! Her eyes flashed, but she said to Mother Lu with a nonchalant expression, "Sister, don't think too much. They might just be worried about us, so they left a little faster. I'll go and tell them a few words!"

Mother Lu was really worried: "I'll go out with you and take a look!"

Jiang Yao had no way of refusing, so she had to help her put the clothes on, and they walked out the door together.

But I saw Taoist Yiqing hurriedly searching for something in the house.

Jiang Yao coughed lightly and scolded, "Why are you making such a fuss just because you came back? You disturbed my sister's sleep."

On the surface it seems to be a blame, but in fact it is a silent reminder.

How could Taoist Master Yiqing not react? He immediately said with some apology, "On my way back just now, I saw a beggar on the roadside who was seriously ill and dying. So I came back to look for the heart-protecting pill that is unique to my sect. I was so eager to save him that I was a little anxious. I'm really sorry."

Mother Lu was kindhearted. Upon hearing this, she quickly said, "Saving people is the most important thing. You go first."

Seeing that he had been fooled, Taoist Yiqing took out a small bottle of pills from his bag and hurried out.

The Taoist priest also discovered Lu Yunjue by accident. At that time, Lu Yunjue was lying on the ground and his life or death was unknown. He could only hold the mask tightly in his hand.

After asking people around, I learned that Lu Yunjue went to the downtown area early this morning to perform sword skills to make money. Although his income was meager, because of his handsome appearance and not like that of an ordinary person, he attracted cheers from everyone.

There was even a local rich lady who fell in love with this handsome young man and spent a huge sum of money to get him to take off his mask.

Lu Yunjue wanted to refuse, but the young lady was well-known for her spunk and willfulness in the local area. She simply refused to leave and even called some servants over, as if she wanted to take him away by force.

How could these servants possibly defeat Lu Yunjue? He was about to resist, but suddenly he fell to the ground in pain.

The onlookers were confused and thought he had a sudden illness, but when Taoist Yiqing heard this, he understood that Liu Se must have used the shadow Gu to hurt him by self-mutilation.

The rich young lady was very brave and was not afraid of such a scene. She took the opportunity to remove the mask on Lu Yunjue's face.

I thought I would meet a handsome man, but Lu Yunjue's ugly face was exposed.

The crowd who were originally planning to rescue Lu Yunjue were suddenly frightened and screamed and ran away, while he curled up on the ground in pain and helplessness until Taoist Yiqing passed by.

Taoist Master Yiqing left the inn and hurried to a dilapidated temple on the outskirts of the city.

There are probably beggars staying overnight in this temple, so although it is dilapidated, the corners are still clean.

Lying on the torn reed mat, Lu Yunjue's whole body was trembling slightly from the pain, but he gritted his teeth and refused to make a sound.

Hu Xiner and Mu Qing stood by but could not help at all, their faces full of anxiety.

"I brought some painkillers, which should help Yun Jue." Taoist Yiqing fed him the pills.

Lu Yunjue felt the pain in his body ease a little, and immediately asked tremblingly: "Mother and the others..."

He was worried that after learning about his condition, Lu's mother would feel more guilty, which would make his condition worse.

"Don't worry, they won't be suspicious." Taoist Master Yiqing sighed when he saw that he was still thinking about his mother even though he was in so much pain.

This child is good in every way, except that he is too strong-willed and never wants to trouble anyone.

The Taoist priest originally planned to take him back to the inn, but it was only after Hu Xiner's reminder that he brought him to this dilapidated temple.

Mu Qing clenched his fists, his whole body emitting a cold air: "It must be that evil woman Liu Se who is causing trouble!"

"She has been imprisoned underground for so long that her psychology has long been abnormal. Now no one knows where she has escaped to." Hu Xiner thought of Liu Se's previous self-harm behavior and was still frightened.

That woman is simply crazy!

Lu Yunjue said intermittently: "Brother, don't worry. That woman cherishes her life very much. It won't...it won't last too long."

"It's already this time, and you still want to comfort me." Mu Qing put the mask on him. The moment his fingers touched the mask, he clearly saw Lu Yunjue's frightened eyes, and his heart ached even more.

He lowered his voice: "Don't worry, the mask is crooked, I will put it on for you."

Cold sweat dripped from his forehead, blurring Lu Yunjue's vision. He whispered, "Thank you... Brother."

The veins on the hand that was tightly gripping the mask were exposed, and it relaxed a little bit because of its trust in Mu Qing.

Mu Qing pursed his lips tightly and was unable to speak.
