Chapter 355: Meeting Shangguan Linger Coincidentally
The few Red Dogs did not understand what was going on and stared at the adults with widened eyes.
It was only then that Chi Ming realized that he had been used by Huan Yue. He could not help but feel angry.
Huan Yue made him steal the fake Demon King Token and leave the Demon Realm with the Illusory Demons and the Red Dog tribe with great fanfare. His goal was to divert the attention of the other demons and the Demon King in the Demon Realm so that they had time to go to Ghost Mountain.
“You’re right. I’m going back to the Demon Realm.”
Shangguan Dian nodded blankly.
His father had spent a lot of effort to seal it. He could not let Huan Yue succeed.
Lu Zhou nodded and said lightly, “I’ll go back with you.”
“Thank you!”
Shangguan Dian forced a smile.
Lu Zhou turned around and said to Lu Sheng, “Disciple, Master and your Uncle Demon King are going to the Demon Realm. We’ll be back soon.”
Lu Sheng nodded. “Okay!”
Chi Ming looked over. When he saw Lu Sheng, he immediately understood.
So, this girl was actually Green Peak’s Peak Master’s disciple. No wonder she had the Divine Whip.
Shangguan Dian reached out and a swirling vortex appeared in front of everyone.
He looked at Chi Ming and the few demons and said indifferently, “Go in.”
When Chi Ming heard that, he hurriedly climbed up and walked into the vortex first. He instantly disappeared into it.
When the few Red Dogs saw this, they hurriedly jumped in too.
Shangguan Dian looked at Lu Zhou. The duo nodded at the same time and looked at Lu Sheng.
“Little niece, we’ll take our leave first. Goodbye!”
“Goodbye.” Lu Sheng bowed and said, “Take care!”
The duo nodded slightly and walked into the vortex side by side.
Soon, the vortex became smaller before disappearing. The room regained its calm and quiet.
Lu Sheng glanced at the chessboard that she had yet to keep. She hurriedly placed the black and white stones into the two chess jars.
After packing the stones, she closed the door before leaving the courtyard.
—————
The next morning.
Lu Sheng had just pushed open the door when she saw a woman walking over with two servant girls.
Of the three, two were familiar faces.
One was the arrogant Huier who had knocked into her on the street back then. The other was naturally her master, Shangguan Linger. As for the other servant, Lu Sheng had not seen her before.
“It’s you?!”
When Huier saw Lu Sheng, her eyes widened.
“Why are you here?”
This was the wealthy district of Huang Yang Town. Those who lived here were either officials or merchants. Almost all of them were from rich families. How could a countryside girl be qualified to live here?
“Miss Lu, long time no see.”
Lu Sheng did not want to stay any longer, but Shangguan Linger walked forward with a smile and greeted her politely.
As the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling face. Even if Lu Sheng did not have a good impression of Shangguan Linger, she could not ignore her.
“Is there anything, Miss Shangguan?”
“Nothing much, but… why is Miss Lu here?”
Shangguan Linger suppressed the disgust in her heart and spoke softly.
She did not think that Lu Sheng would stay there.
Lu Sheng smiled without thinking. “I was passing by.”
“Passing by?”
Huier sneered. “Don’t think we don’t know why you’re here.”
“Oh?”
Lu Sheng blinked curiously. “Then tell me, why am I here?”
“Lord Chu returned to Huang Yang Town yesterday. You waited here because you want to see Lord Chu, right?”
Huier thought that she had guessed Lu Sheng’s thoughts and sneered proudly. “With your pathetic background, would Lord Chu fancy you?”
