Chapter 643 Can’t Cry
You know, even when they were humiliated by those villains in prison, the Du couple remained strong and unyielding. Not only did they not shed tears, they never even begged for mercy!
Hu Laosan really thought something irreversible had happened, and he quickly knelt on the ground and crawled forward: "It's all because of my uselessness and incompetence. I failed to protect Senior Sister and the Du family! Master and Madam, if you are angry and upset, hit me, don't get yourself hurt by anger."
The other disciples also came forward and knelt on the ground. In this era, teachers are like parents, and Miss Du is like their sister. The sadness in their hearts is definitely not less than that of the Du couple.
A naive young man stood up with tears in his eyes and said, "Let's go! Let's go get Senior Sister back!"
Everyone grabbed their weapons and prepared to leave when they heard Master Du roar, "That's enough! Aren't you ashamed enough? Don't you remember the consequences of your recklessness last time?!"
"You're so brave but sore-faced!" His tone remained fierce, yet choked with sobs. "It's all because of a reckless master like me that you've become like this. If anything were to happen to Xiaoqin, I... I'd be ashamed of my ancestors. I can't face the Du family's century-old reputation."
He covered his face with his calloused hands, tears streaming down from between his fingers.
Hu Xin'er was pregnant and her emotions were more fragile than usual. She couldn't help but feel sad at this moment: "It's not your fault. It's all because the Shen and Zhou families are too beastly."
Zhao Yunxuan said in a gentle voice, "Don't be sad, everyone. My subordinates are all elite soldiers and will definitely bring Miss Du back safely."
There was the sound of horse hooves outside. A woman with a wound on her face dismounted, took a look inside, and then ran over like the wind: "Dad, Mom! Why are you crying?"
She hurried over and saw that everyone's eyes were red. Her joyous mood just now was instantly chilled as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head. "What's going on? Is someone dead? Why can't I see the Second Young Master?"
Mother Du stared at her in amazement and hugged her daughter: "Xiaoqin! I knew you would come back safely."
Du Xiaoqin didn't see Lu Yunjue, and heard Du's mother crying so sadly. She thought that he had gotten into trouble while trying to rescue her, and she couldn't help but feel distraught.
But she had to take care of her mother, so she had to cheer herself up and force a smile: "Mother..."
Just at this moment, the curtain of the side room was hastily lifted, and Lu Yunjue, who was usually meticulous, stepped out without even straightening his collar.
When he saw Miss Du, he seemed to be frozen in place. He carefully looked at Miss Du from head to toe, and finally fixed his attention on the wound on her face.
It seemed to be scratched by fingernails, very thin and long, and because of repeated torture, it was very deep, and even after applying medicine, it had not completely healed.
He was only focused on Miss Du's wounds, but didn't notice that there were also some small scars on his face.
Although he was detoxified in time after taking the muscle softening powder, he was the only one who had recovered his martial arts skills in prison, so when he fought with the armed jailer, he was even cut on the arm.
It was precisely because of this that he had been bandaged in the side room for so long.
His arms were wrapped in white cloth, his clothes were stained with blood and had many cuts on them. Anyone could tell how fierce a battle he had been through.
No matter how hard he tried to suppress his hidden emotions, Lu Yunjue's eyes revealed relief and heartache.
Miss Du also looked at him, tears gradually welling up in her eyes.
The two looked at each other from a distance, clearly without saying a word or making any movements, and there were many people between them.
But even a blind person could see how unusual the atmosphere between them was.
Du's mother's crying gradually subsided.
Mr. Du, who was originally ashamed to face his daughter, also raised his head.
They were angry and distressed in the previous second, but were all stunned in the next second.
Mr. Du moved his lips, but finally decided to send a message to his wife: "When did our daughter find a son-in-law?"
Well, he originally thought that Lu Yunjue disregarded his own safety in prison and fought hard to rescue people because he was a chivalrous man. Even if he couldn't become his son-in-law, it would be great to have him as a brother.
It turned out that he regarded Lu Yunjue as a friend, and Lu Yunjue regarded him as his father-in-law!
Hu Xiner's emotions came and went quickly. She leaned on Mu Qing's shoulder and blinked at him calmly.
The couple smiled in tacit understanding and looked at Du's parents. Everything was said without words.
It was unknown how long it took before Miss Du and Lu Yunjue both came to their senses.
She unconsciously hooked the ends of her hair, deliberately turned her eyes away from Lu Yunjue, cleared her throat and was about to say a few words to ease her embarrassment, but found that everyone was silent.
She looked down at Madam Du and asked curiously, "Mom, why aren't you crying?"
Mrs. Du couldn't cry even if she wanted to. How could anyone ask such a question? What daughter would want her mother to cry?
Miss Du also realized that her question was wrong, and she couldn't help but laugh awkwardly, secretly cursing men for being misled by their beauty.
Then, she bowed to her disciples and said, "On the way, I learned about what happened to my fellow disciples. Thank you for your hard work these past two days!"
The disciples said sparsely, "It's not hard."
"Big Sister, I'm glad you're okay."
"Big Sister, how's the wound on your face? I have a special ointment..."
Miss Du felt warm at heart as she listened to the greetings from her fellow students. "I'm fine. But you all should get up instead of kneeling. Go home, take a good bath, and catch up with your family and friends so you don't stink."
She waved her hand, and the disciples all looked towards Master Du. Master Du covered his forehead and waved his hand: "I have asked Lao He to make a detoxification soup for you in the next yard. Drink a bowl before you leave, so that you won't feel weak in your hands and feet."
The disciples all thanked Hu Xiner and the others, then walked out happily.
Seeing this scene, even Zhao Yunxuan couldn't help but nod his head.
Although these Du family disciples are gangsters, they are very organized and well-mannered. Even if they are poisoned by the soft muscle powder and have lost all their internal strength, they still have the spirit and energy of a martial artist, which is completely different from the Zhou family and the Shen family.
He thought to himself that if there was an opportunity, he could use these disciples of the Du family to build a Du family army.
They have a close relationship with the second princess, and Lu Yunjue and Miss Du can be considered a good match.
It just so happened that Qingzhou had just removed two cancers from Shen Zhou, and someone was needed to fill the gap.
On the surface, he was leading his troops to search for the elixir of life at the order of the emperor, but his real purpose was far from that simple.
Thinking of the people involved, he glanced at Hu Xiner and twirled his fingers unconsciously.
