"What are you two doing? Why are you fighting?"
Cui Yulu didn't understand why. She didn't remember who Han An was, only that he was also in the Shadow Pavilion. So they were all family, and family members shouldn't fight.
Han An glanced at Cui Yulu, a smug smile playing on his lips, and turned to leave without saying a word.
However, Cui Yulu didn't think there was anything wrong with it, since she didn't want to hear his voice anyway.
It was so jarring that it gave me a terrible headache.
"Are you alright? We're all in the same boat, but no more fighting from now on, understand?"
Cui Yulu took a handkerchief and cleaned the wound on his hand, deliberately hurting him and making him frown.
Then I'll laugh out loud to deliberately make him angry.
Even though the little mute boy was hurt, he still looked at Cui Yulu with a doting expression, and felt very happy about it.
"You're still laughing? You're injured, and you made me throw away all my fireflies. You'll have to compensate me with even more tomorrow."
"Of course. Tomorrow I'll catch more fireflies for you and make you a lantern so you won't get lost in the dark."
Cui Yulu nodded with a light laugh, and the two of them left the grassland together.
However, not far behind them, Fu Xiaoyu and Lin Yun witnessed all of this.
"Your Highness, should we bring Miss Cui back now?"
Fu Xiaoyu waved her hand: "We don't know why she's become like this yet, so we shouldn't disturb her for now."
Lin Yun nodded, and the two quickly disappeared into the night.
Soon, Lu Changfeng received the news that Fu Xiaoyu had arrived at the Shadow Pavilion.
"Now that he's here, I don't need to pretend anymore. Just have someone bring him in."
Some things must be faced, and he also needs to ask Fu Xiaoyu about what happened back then.
Inside the Qiwu Courtyard of the Shadow Pavilion, Lu Changfeng was dressed in a black robe that covered his entire body, leaving only his eyes visible.
Fu Xiaoyu was dressed in an exquisite white robe, a dark green shirt, and a grass-green belt around his waist. His face was handsome and refined, and his eyes were as clear as a spring.
The maids in the Shadow Pavilion would stop and stare at such a man for a while.
They only left after Lu Changfeng reminded them.
"I never expected Your Highness to have time to visit me today. You are truly a rare guest."
Lu Changfeng looked at him with a forced smile.
Fu Xiaoyu didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the point: "It's not that I wanted to come here, but why should Cui Yulu be involved in our feud? She doesn't know anything about it, so you should let her go."
With a smile on his face, Lu Changfeng gently clapped his hands three times in the air, and soon a woman in a pink shirt entered the room.
This is different from the clothes Cui Yulu was seen wearing outside before; it seems she just changed her clothes.
"Come quickly and greet His Highness. He specifically requested to see you today. Is there some connection between you two?"
Cui Yulu raised her almond-shaped eyes and stared straight at Fu Xiaoyu, her expression unreadable.
"I wonder why Your Highness specifically requested to see me? Do I know Your Highness?"
As she spoke, her eyes lingered on Fu Xiaoyu, a stark contrast to her previous demeanor as Cui Yulu.
"What did you do to her? Why has she become like this?"
"What makes you say that, Your Highness? Don't you think she's happier now? She's much happier without you all. I'm sure Your Highness saw that before you came in, didn't you?"
Lu Changfeng already knew that Fu Xiaoyu had arrived and had sent people to observe her in secret.
Fu Xiaoyu was shocked by Lu Changfeng's methods; they were incredibly powerful.
It seems I underestimated my opponent.
"Please answer my questions. What exactly did you do to her? Why has she become like this?"
Fu Xiaoyu spoke in a somewhat anxious tone. When she looked at Cui Yulu, she saw that Cui Yulu was also staring blankly at her, completely unlike her previous lively self.
"Your Highness, if you like Cui Yulu, I can grant your wish. I'll let you take her away right now, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied. How about it?"
Lu Changfeng's words had a provocative tone, which made Fu Xiaoyu a little angry.
"I slaughtered your entire family back then, but you deserved it. If you want revenge now, just come at us. Why take it out on these innocent people?"
"What is an innocent person? When you slaughtered my entire family, did you ever think that there were innocent people among them? You just didn't expect that I would be the one who escaped the net, did you?"
Lu Changfeng looked at Fu Xiaoyu with disdain. Back then, the entire Lu family was unjustly executed, and he was just a child. Fortunately, his loyal servant protected him and he was spared. Now, Fu Xiaoyu actually said he was innocent.
There are no innocent people in this world.
“It is true that I handled the Lu family’s affairs. If you have any problems, you can come at me. Yu Lu is innocent. Give her the antidote, let her go, and I will give you a satisfactory explanation for the rest.”
"She's not innocent. Who told her to like you and save you time and time again? You know, I've been plotting to kill you all along, but you always manage to escape danger, which makes me very unhappy. And this girl is always the one who saves you, so she's not innocent. She's the same kind of person as you, and she has to die too."
When Lu Changfeng said this, Cui Yulu was in a daze and had no idea what he was saying.
He just stood there, stunned.
Outside, the old witch was controlling the Gu worms inside her body, and no matter what Lu Changfeng said, she would not react.
However, the old witch outside also noticed something unusual; it seemed that a force within her was fighting against the old witch's Gu worms.
However, the power of the Gu worm has temporarily suppressed the power within her body, so there is no need to worry about whether Cui Yulu will regain consciousness for the time being.
Fu Xiaoyu glared at Lu Changfeng, who was in a frenzy, with her narrow eyes. She then held Cui Yulu in her arms, wanting to infuse her with some internal energy.
"Save your energy, it won't work. She's controlled by the Gu worms and doesn't recognize you at all. You should be glad she's still unconscious. If she were to wake up, she'd probably kill you with one blow. Do you still want to take her back?"
Two men surrounded Cui Yulu, their eyes seemingly sparking with tension.
The mute boy outside looked at Cui Yulu, who was so lost in thought, and felt a pang of regret.
It was he who personally sent Cui Yulu down the path of becoming a pawn; it's all his fault.
He wanted to rush in to rescue Cui Yulu, but was stopped by Han An and the old witch.
"Going in now will only hasten her death. You must know that her life is in the hands of the old witch. If you dare to make any rash moves, the old witch can kill Cui Yulu with just a flick of his finger."
The little mute boy turned pale, looked at the old shaman in terror, and kept shaking his head, begging him not to do that.
"Don't worry, as long as you listen to me and let the Pavilion Master complete the task, everything will be fine."
