Chapter 434: Out of the Boundary
“You’re saying that he’s here too?”
Chunyu Dong scanned his surroundings for a while before asking faintly.
“I don’t know.”
The State Minister replied expressionlessly. Then, he looked up at Xiahou Tang, who was behind Chunyu Dong, and said lightly, “Hand him to me.”
“Him?”
Chunyu Dong glanced at Xiahou Tang from the corner of his eye. He looked up and smiled apologetically at the State Minister. “I’m afraid I can’t.”
He had contacted the Crown Prince through Xiahou Tang. Without him, contacting the Crown Prince would be too troublesome. He did not like trouble.
“No?”
The State Minister frowned.
If they were to fight, he was definitely not Chunyu Dong’s match.
However, he was unwilling to leave just like that.
Chunyu Dong crossed his arms over his chest and asked calmly, “Brother White Lotus, can you tell me what the Grand Tutor did that made you angry?”
The State Minister did not speak and only looked at him indifferently.
“It’s alright if you don’t want to say it.”
Chunyu Dong shrugged his shoulders in compromise. “However, can Brother White Lotus tell me where he is?”
“Master, is he looking for you?”
Lu Sheng leaned towards Chu Sihan, but her eyes were on Lu Zhou.
“Yes.”
Lu Zhou replied softly.
“Why is he finding you, Master? Do you have a feud?”
“Something like that.” Lu Zhou smiled faintly and said, “But it’s not a deep hatred.”
Lu Sheng nodded. “So it’s a fight between fellow disciples?”
“It’s more serious than this. It’s considered…”
Lu Zhou pondered for a moment and said lightly, “A misunderstanding.”
“Oh.”
Lu Sheng pouted and nudged Chu Sihan’s arm with her elbow. She asked softly, “Lord, do you know about the matter between my master and that Lord Chunyu?”
Why did she not realize in the past that her master was so popular?
In her impression, besides the King of Hades, her master rarely interacted with others.
However, she later realized that her master knew the Demon King and the State Minister.
Now, it was Chunyu Dong.
Could it be that her master used to be loved by many?
“I’m not sure.”
Chu Sihan moved closer to her and said in a low voice, “I only know that Uncle-Master Lu and Lord Chunyu were fellow disciples. I don’t know anything else.”
“No, isn’t my master’s Senior Brother the King of Hades?” Lu Sheng was really puzzled.
Chu Sihan chuckled. “How can this person who has lived for more than ten thousand years only have one master?”
“I see!”
Lu Sheng tsked and continued observing the State Minister and Chunyu Dong.
The State Minister replied faintly, “I’m not sure. I only know he’s nearby. If you want to see him, find him yourself.”
He glanced at Xiahou Tang. There was a hint of indignation in his eyes, but he seemed to have decided to temporarily give up on finding trouble with Xiahou Tang.
Qing Yi and Lan Yi looked at each other, their expressions guilty.
They did not mention to Chunyu Dong that they had encountered Lu Zhou outside Tian Ya Inn.
Firstly, they were afraid that the two of them would quarrel again after meeting.
Secondly…
After all, Lu Zhou was Lan Yi’s previous master. Out of old ties, he was still unwilling to betray him.
“It’s alright if you don’t tell me.”
Chunyu Dong compromised again. “However, if you encounter him next time, please tell him to return my items.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Sheng could not help but interrupt and ask, “Master, did you steal someone else’s things?”
When Lu Zhou heard that, he had a disapproving look. “If children don’t know what happened, don’t use words casually.”
Shangguan Dian seemed to have thought of something and secretly laughed.
Lu Sheng narrowed her eyes and looked at him suspiciously.
“I’m not familiar with Peak Master Lu.”
The State Minister only spoke indifferently before walking towards them.
Lu Zhou was shocked and hurriedly cast a spell to seal them.
“White Lotus Brother’s too much. He actually said he doesn’t know me well?”
Lu Zhou sneered. “If I knew this would happen, I would have gotten someone to clean that lotus pond back then.”
When he said this, the State Minister happened to walk over to them.
Seeing him suddenly look over, Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows.
The State Minister glanced over and frowned slightly. Then, he walked forward.
Lu Sheng raised her eyebrows slightly. “Master, did the State Minister discover us here?”
“It seems like he’s just suspicious.”
After Lu Zhou answered, he looked back at Chunyu Dong.
He realized that he was looking at him and smiling meaningfully.
Lu Zhou frowned. “That guy saw me?”
Chu Sihan was silent for a moment before reminding kindly, “Uncle-Master Lu, you… have stepped out of the boundary.”
Lu Zhou lowered his head and saw that he was already standing outside the boundary…
Hence, the State Minister had actually seen him just now but did not want to greet him?
Lu Zhou was speechless.
It should be too late for him to hide now, right?
“Junior Brother Lu, long time no see. How have you been?”
Chunyu Dong stood at his original spot and looked at him with a faint smile.
Lan Yi frowned slightly. He looked at Chunyu Dong and then at Lu Zhou, feeling a little nervous.
Since Chunyu Dong discovered him, Lu Zhou stopped hiding.
He stood where he was and said expressionlessly, “I’m doing well. There’s no need for you to worry. Also…”
He paused and smiled coldly. “You’ve been expelled from the sect by Master.”
He meant that Chunyu Dong was no longer his Senior Brother.
Chunyu Dong was not angry. His smile remained. “As the saying goes, a teacher for one day is a father for life. Even if Master has already expelled me from the sect, he was once my master. Since Master is still my master, then Junior Brother is naturally still my Junior Brother.”
“Nonsense.”
Lu Zhou smiled disdainfully.
“Isn’t… isn’t he the Third Prince?”
Xiahou Tang was somewhat dumbfounded.
He had previously suspected that the Third Prince had been swapped. However, he did not expect it to be Chunyu Dong’s Junior Brother.
In that case, wouldn’t it be harder for the Crown Prince to ascend to the throne?
“Oh?”
Chunyu Dong clicked his tongue. “So, the skin you’re occupying is that useless Third Prince.”
“You’re not bad either.”
Lu Zhou smiled faintly and said, “It’s said that the skin you’re occupying is that of a corrupt official. This skin and character complement you.”
Chunyu Dong laughed heartily and looked at him. “It’s been a long time since we last met. Junior Brother, you’re still so eloquent. You haven’t changed at all.”
Lu Zhou stared at him expressionlessly and did not speak.
“Ah Zhou, why waste your breath on him? Don’t forget why we’re here.”
Shangguan Dian walked out and stood beside Lu Zhou.
“Oh, you’re here too?”
Chunyu Dong raised his eyebrows in surprise. “The two of you still like to be inseparable.”
Shangguan Dian smiled and called out faintly, “Cousin.”
Chunyu Dong was his mother’s nephew. His surname was Shen, and he was a member of the Demon Realm.
However, because he wanted to become a disciple of the Five Peaks, he changed his name to Chunyu Dong.
As for why he was expelled from the sect, it was because he had secretly learned a forbidden technique and was discovered by the Sect Master. In a fury, he was expelled from the sect.
