Lu Qing rolled her eyes in exasperation.
She still couldn't dissuade Gu Xicheng, and after a thorough check-up at the hospital, confirming that she wasn't injured, Gu Xicheng finally felt relieved and took her away.
When I returned to the Investigation Bureau, Yu Hengzi was drinking tea in his simple office.
Liu Manyun and Jian Ming sat beside them, their backs ramrod straight, just like elementary school students.
Lu Qing couldn't help but ask in confusion, "What's wrong with you all? Why do you all look so nervous?"
Liu Manyun swallowed hard, glanced at Yu Hengzi out of the corner of her eye, and seeing that he didn't speak, she got up and went to Lu Qing, weakly saying:
"Idol, you're finally back!"
"Your master's aura is too strong; we can't handle it!"
Hearing this, Lu Qing was full of questions.
Is her master a very serious person? How could he scare her like this?
"Master, what did you do to them? Why are they so afraid of you?"
Lu Qing's direct question startled Liu Manyun and Jian Ming, causing them to shudder again.
Yu Hengzi shrugged:
"I didn't do anything! I just asked him to pour me a cup of tea."
"What? My apprentice is working so hard to help you boost your sales, and you won't even let her master have a sip of tea?"
Jianming waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no! How could that be!"
"We're overjoyed that you can drink our tea. We're nervous because it's the first time we've seen you in person, and it feels a bit unreal."
Yu Hengzi raised an eyebrow: "What? You've seen me dead?"
"No, no, no! I mean I've only heard of you before, I've never seen you in person!" Jianming was sweating profusely.
Lu Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud:
"You don't need to be so nervous. My master is just an ordinary old man. He won't eat people."
Despite saying that, Jianming and Liu Manyun still didn't relax.
After all, the person in front of him was the former sect leader of the Xuanmen sect, and currently the most senior and strongest Celestial Master in the Xuanmen sect.
Even the current sect leader of the Xuanmen sect has to bow down and act like a grandson in front of him, so how could these juniors not be nervous?
"Captain Jian, Manyun, you two go out first. I need to talk to my master for a bit," Lu Qing said with a smile.
The two immediately nodded like chicks pecking at rice and left.
Now only Lu Qing, Gu Xicheng, and Yu Hengzi remain in the office.
"Master, you didn't come down the mountain specifically to find me, did you?" Lu Qing asked.
Yu Hengzi put down his teacup and smiled:
"Who else would Master look for if not you!"
Lu Qing pouted and said:
"Master, please just say what's on your mind. Your sudden appearance made me feel uneasy!"
Yu Hengzi flicked her forehead and laughed, scolding her:
"You brat, can't your master come to see you just because he misses you?"
"Really?" Lu Qing rubbed her forehead and blinked her big eyes at Yu Hengzi.
Feeling guilty under her gaze, Yu Hengzi quickly avoided her eyes.
“Master, look at me and tell me what you came down the mountain for?” Lu Qing asked quietly.
Yu Hengzi was silent for a moment, then sighed and said:
"I made your master's wife run away, so I came down the mountain to find her!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing exclaimed in shock, "What?!"
"Master, say it again, who did you drive away?"
Yu Hengzi lowered his head, like a child who had made a mistake, and stammered:
"Your teacher's wife."
"What exactly happened? Why did you make your master's wife leave?" Lu Qing asked hurriedly.
Yu Hengzi sighed and then recounted what had happened.
It turns out that he was caught watching videos of beautiful women not long ago, and Feng Yuan said some harsh words in a fit of anger.
Yu Hengzi acted on impulse and said that Feng Yuan was old and faded, and not as pretty as a young girl.
He regretted it as soon as he said it.
I was planning to wait until she calmed down before trying to coax her, but I found a letter left by Feng Yuan the next morning.
Feng Yuan left Yutai Mountain without saying where she went, so Yu Hengzi immediately went down the mountain to find her.
After searching for several days, Feng Yuan was nowhere to be found; instead, Lu Qing was found instead.
After understanding the situation, Lu Qing called Feng Yuan directly, but the phone rang for a long time before being answered.
"Hey, Master's wife, where are you right now?"
Han Ziyuan's voice came from the other end:
"Qingqing, don't worry, your teacher's wife is with your mother now, and she's fine!"
"Mom? Your teacher's wife came to see you!" Lu Qing was somewhat surprised.
Han Ziyuan: "Yes, your teacher's wife came the day you left. We were having a spa session. Did you need to see her for something?"
Lu Qing: "Mom, give the phone to your teacher's wife."
"Okay!" Han Ziyuan handed the phone to Feng Yuan.
Not long after, Lu Qing heard Feng Yuan's voice:
"Qingqing, is your master next to you?"
Lu Qing looked at Yu Hengzi beside him, and Yu Hengzi quickly waved his hand, signaling Lu Qing not to speak.
Lu Qing ignored him and said directly:
"Master's wife, Master has been looking for you for several days. He's right here now. Please give him a chance to apologize for my sake!"
Feng Yuan: "Give him the phone."
Upon hearing this, Yu Hengzi snatched it away before Lu Qing could give it to him:
"Yuan'er, don't be angry anymore, I apologize!"
"I was being rude, I'm sorry, I'll never watch short videos again!"
Feng Yuanjing waited for Yu Hengzi to finish apologizing before speaking:
“Old Yu, we’ve been together for so many years, I know your character well.”
"I know you didn't mean it, but thinking about it carefully, you're not wrong. I'm not as pretty as those girls in their twenties, so from today onwards, you can look at whoever you want, I'm not putting up with you anymore!"
Yu Hengzi: "No! Yuan'er, I know I was wrong, I..."
Before Yu Hengzi could finish speaking, the phone was hung up.
Feng Yuan then sent a message: [Qingqing, I'm doing very well now and don't want to see your master. Tell him not to come looking for me!]
Lu Qing looked at Yu Hengzi helplessly:
"Master, you have really hurt your wife's feelings this time."
Yu Hengzi opened his mouth, as if to say something, but didn't say anything.
Seeing his master like this, Lu Qing couldn't help but feel guilty.
In truth, Yu Hengzi became like this because of her. If he hadn't been punished by Heaven for saving her, he wouldn't have been troubled by lust, and he wouldn't have argued with his master's wife.
“Master, please wait for me here for a few days. Once I’ve cleaned up the evil spirits here, I’ll go back to the capital with you to find your wife. She will forgive you.”
Yu Hengzi sighed and nodded: "That's the only way."
If he were to go to Kyoto alone to find Feng Yuan now, she probably wouldn't agree to see him.
For the next period of time, Gu Xicheng and Lu Qing put in a lot of effort to clear away all the traceable evil energy in the area.
After working for almost ten days, I finally managed to complete part of the task.
Although the evil influences were not completely eliminated, at least the most harmful ones were mostly cleared out.
"Captain Jian, we've almost completed our mission. Director Li has informed us that we can go back now," Lu Qing said.
A flicker of panic crossed Jianming's face: "That Manyun..."
"I'm going back with my idol!" Liu Manyun said with a smile as she walked in.
