Chapter 279: Unscrupulous and Soft Master vs. Fake Weak and Seriously Scheming Disciple (17)
Lu Cha stuffed a candied haws into Wen Yu's hand.
In her other hand, she held a straw target she had bought from a vendor:
"Master saw you staring at the candied haws, thinking you wanted to eat some, so I bought them all."
"If you want anything in the future, you can tell me directly."
"I will fulfill all your wishes."
As he spoke, Lu Cha rubbed Wen Yu's head, with a gentle and soft smile on his lips.
It's like a cool breeze that suddenly blows in the scorching sun, which is very pleasant.
Wen Yu's heart seemed to be gently blown, causing faint ripples.
He turned his head away awkwardly:
"Thank you, Master."
He really hadn't eaten candied haws for a long time.
Wen Yu carefully bit off the hawthorn on the top, but saw Lu Cha turn around and give Lin Cheng a candied haws.
"You eat too."
The remaining candied haws are all hers~
"Thank you, Fifth Elder!" Lin Cheng took it happily.
Wen Yu lowered his eyes and looked away.
Lin Cheng’s candied haws seemed to be a circle bigger than his.
Wen Yu bit the hawthorn flesh in his mouth, which was sour with just a hint of sweetness.
This candied haws is really disgusting.

Lu Cha played while traveling, and it was two days later when they arrived at Lijia Village.
With Lin Cheng as a tool to communicate with the villagers, Lu Cha and his companions were quickly taken to the village chief's house.
The other villagers ran to the fields and notified the village elder and his wife who were working there to come back.
In a simple courtyard.
Lu Cha sat on the stone bench and waited.
Lin Cheng and Wen Yu stood behind her, one on the left and one on the right.
Not long after, an old man over 60 years old hurriedly ran into the yard from outside. He was the village chief of Lijia Village.
"I didn't know the Immortal would come today, and I failed to properly prepare to welcome him. I beg the Immortal to forgive me."
When Village Chief Li was about to kneel on the ground in panic, he was lifted up by a gentle breeze.
"Don't worry, Village Chief Li." Lu Cha waved his hand and asked Village Chief Li to sit across from the stone table.
"I heard a demon appeared in Lijia Village. Village Chief Li, could you tell me more about it?"
Seeing that Lucha was really capable, Village Chief Li was completely relieved and said:
"A year ago, girls from our village started disappearing one after another. At first, everyone thought they were kidnapped by bad guys, but no clues were found nearby."
"Until more and more girls disappeared, and a villager saw with their own eyes that someone was swept away by a ball of black air, I invited an immortal to come and found out that it was a demonic spirit that was causing trouble."
"But that immortal's cultivation was too low. He failed to capture the demon spirit and was seriously injured by it. I can only seek help from Wan Xuanzong."
Lucha's focus was peculiar: "Why didn't you report it to the police in the first place?"
If someone goes missing and you suspect human traffickers are responsible, your first reaction should be to report the matter to the authorities and seek their help.
Village Chief Li's eyes flickered. "This is a remote and poor place. No one from the government would be willing to come here."
"Plus, the roads are difficult to travel on, and we don't have money to pay them, so the government is even less willing to intervene."
Lu Cha said "oh" meaningfully, but did not expose the obvious lie of Village Chief Li.
In order to avoid being discovered and killed by cultivators, demons and spirits will not stay in one place for a long time.
Even the demons in the Forest of Dark Souls would constantly change their hiding places.
This demon spirit in Lijia Village is quite interesting.
"Do the missing girls have any common characteristics?"
Village Chief Li thought for a moment and said, "They are all girls who are going to get married!"
"It's strange that they disappeared just a few days before their wedding."
"I beg the immortal to help us get rid of this evil spirit." Village Chief Li sighed.
"Because of this incident, people are in a panic. Many people have moved out of the village and are afraid to stay."
Lu Cha suddenly remembered that on the way into the village, there was not a single young girl among the villagers he met.
Lin Cheng, who also thought of this, felt a little melancholy: "Demons are good at hiding and are extremely sensitive to the aura of cultivators."
"Village Chief Li had already alerted the enemy by calling in the immortal cultivators."
"In this case, we can only set a trap and find a young girl as bait to lure the demon spirit to reveal itself. Otherwise, we won't be able to catch it at all."
"It's a pity that the village is now full of men and women. Why don't I go find one somewhere else?"
Lu Cha blinked and slowly turned his head.
In the sunlight, the beautiful face of the young man in black clothes seemed to be covered with a hazy golden halo.
She smiled maliciously and rejected Lin Cheng's proposal: "No need to go through so much trouble."
"There's a ready-made 'girl' right here."
I don't know what the little villain looks like in women's clothes, hehe~
Meeting Lu Cha's excited eyes, Wen Yu inexplicably had a bad feeling.
"Master means..."
"Yu'er is pretty and still in the first level of Qi training. Someone with a lower level of cultivation can easily kill her. You are disguising yourself as a woman as bait. The demon spirit will definitely not be suspicious!"
Lu Cha's tone was like coaxing a child:
"I will buy you some candied haws tomorrow."
Wen Yu: “…”
Is this about buying candied haws?!
Wen Yu tried to dispel Lu Cha's scary thoughts: "My disciple is so tall and has broad shoulders. If he wears women's clothes, he will look like an alien. The demon spirit will definitely notice something is wrong."
"But you're beautiful enough to make people ignore those problems."
Wen Yu did not give up: "Lin Cheng is shorter than my disciple, so he is a suitable candidate."
Lin Cheng was very honest: "But I'm ugly."
In fact, Lin Cheng is not ugly. He has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and strong facial lines, giving people a rough and bold feeling.
Lucha disagreed: "You just don't suit women's clothes."
Wen Yu's face darkened.
So he fits in?!
In order to avoid wearing women's clothes, Wen Yu gave it his all.
He pulled Lucha's sleeve and shook it gently. His eyes, as clear as stars, were filled with a thin mist, as if he was a dog begging his master eagerly:
"Master, I don't want to wear women's clothes."
Lu Cha ruthlessly pushed Wen Yu's coquettish hand away and said seriously, "This is all for the people."
"Just bear with it for a while."
Wen Yu gritted his teeth.
The reason why he was so persistent in releasing the seal in his body was so that after regaining his strength, he could kill all the immortal cultivators and bring disaster to the common people!
Yan Lucha actually wanted him to sacrifice himself for the sake of the people?!
ridiculous!
But these words could not be said, and Wen Yu felt even more depressed.
But Lu Cha patted his shoulder:
"Don't worry, I will ask the village chief to find you a bigger skirt. This will ensure that if you encounter a demon, you can run away."
"......" For the first time, Wen Yu had the idea of giving up.
But when he thought that if he dug out Yan Lucha's nine-orifice exquisite heart, he could recover all his strength and torture her severely, Wen Yu endured it.
Sooner or later, he will make Yan Lucha be unable to live or die!
Wen Yu had a gloomy face and followed Village Chief Li to get his clothes.
-
The sun sets in the west.
The village chief's wife came back from the fields and prepared a simple meal for Lu Cha and others.
In order to see Wen Yu first, Lu Cha chose to eat in the yard.
Lin Cheng, who finished eating first, looked around and said, "It's been so long, and Fellow Daoist Wen hasn't come back yet. Could something have happened?"
The village head's wife continued, "Our clothes are all made of coarse cloth, and there's nothing nice to wear. So Old Li took the immortal's apprentice to the town's clothing store to buy a skirt."
Thinking of the scene of Wen Yu buying a skirt, Lu Cha couldn't help laughing, and suddenly heard a squeak.
