Chapter 498: Shi Yi Was Possessed
“Is he… alright?”
Yu Mingyue’s gaze landed on Yu Yang and she asked worriedly.
Knowing that she was asking about Shi Yi, Yu Yang retracted his gaze from Ling Yi and said warmly, “He has vomited and is probably asleep now.”
Yu Mingyue frowned slightly and pursed her lips without saying anything.
“Take a seat first. I’ll make some hangover soup for them.”
Lu Sheng let them sit first and went to the kitchen to cook the soup.
Chu Sihan took a few glances and stood up to follow her in.
“Father and Mother contacted me just now.”
He stood beside her and spoke softly.
Lu Sheng scooped the water into the pot and turned her head to look at him. “Is it because the Emperor Ghost disappeared?”
Chu Sihan raised an eyebrow. “Uncle-Master Lu also informed you?”
“Yes.” Lu Sheng sighed softly. “I’m afraid life won’t be peaceful in the future.”
“With everyone around, everything will be fine.”
Chu Sihan stroked her black hair. “The Emperor Ghost was sealed at its peak. It was suppressed under the ice lake for many years. Its cultivation level is far inferior to before. I believe Sect Master Kong and the rest will suppress it again.”
Lu Sheng nodded slightly when her head suddenly hurt. She immediately covered her head and closed her eyes to rest.
Chu Sihan’s expression changed slightly and he hurried to take her pulse.
However, he realized that Lu Sheng’s body did not have any symptoms. In fact, she was very healthy.
“What happened?”
Chu Sihan realized that Lu Sheng’s symptoms had appeared a few times. He initially thought that there was something wrong with her body. However, it seemed like there was nothing wrong with her body.
Since there was no problem, why did such symptoms always appear?
“Sheng Sheng, what happened to you?”
He was anxious.
That was because the symptoms that could not be detected via her pulse meant that it was not a small matter.
Lu Sheng had already recovered.
She shook her head. “I don’t know what happened recently, but I keep feeling dizzy for some reason. Moreover, these symptoms only lasted for an instant. I would be fine in a while.”
“Shall I get Uncle-Master Lu to come back and take a look for you?”
Lu Zhou’s medical skills were definitely top-notch. Chu Sihan believed in his medical skills.
Lu Sheng nodded slightly. “Master and the rest are chasing after the Emperor Ghost. I’m afraid it’s not convenient to disturb them.”
She looked up at Chu Sihan and asked, “Ah Han, what do you think is happening when people get dizzy and some fragmented images flashed across their minds?”
“You’re saying that when you’re dizzy, some intermittent images will appear in your mind?” Chu Sihan frowned. “What kind of images are those?”
“This…”
Lu Sheng wanted to tell him about her dream, but when she thought of the scene in her dream, she could only stop.
“What is it?”
Chu Sihan was about to listen when he saw her looking at him silently. He could not help but wonder.
“It’s…”
Lu Sheng pretended to mumble for a moment before shaking her head. “I can’t remember. It just flashed past. It was very blurry.”
Chu Sihan was a bit disappointed when he heard that. However, he still said in a low voice, “It’s alright. I’ll ask Father about this and see what the reason is.”
“Yes!”
Lu Sheng nodded slightly and smiled. “Go out and accompany them first. I’ll make hangover soup first.”
Chu Sihan shook his head. “No, I’ll wait here!”
Lu Sheng’s current situation worried him.
“Alright.”
Lu Sheng shrugged helplessly and continued cooking.
The two of them moved a stool over and sat by the stove to chat. Chu Sihan smiled from time to time and even reached out to fiddle with the firewood.
“Shi Yi, how are you?”
“Are you alright?”
“Since you’re already like this, go back and lie down first.”
The hangover soup was just done when everyone’s worried voices were heard from outside.
Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan seemed to have sensed something and their expressions changed.
The duo hurried out and saw Shi Yi sitting on the roof, looking up at the sky.
A thick layer of black mist surrounded his body.
Of course, other than Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng, no one could see this black aura.
“Young Master Shi, it’s so dangerous up there. Come down first!”
“Shi Yi, you were fine just now. What’s wrong with you now?”
Fu Sisi and Yun Ting could not help but persuade and curse.
“Ah Yi, what’s wrong?”
Yu Mingyue looked at him worriedly.
‘Shi Yi,’ who was sitting on the roof, seemed to have noticed something. He scanned Yu Mingyue coldly before looking past her and landing on Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng, who were behind her.
“Who are you?”
Lu Sheng placed the hangover soup aside and asked Shi Yi faintly.
“Who I am is not important.”
Shi Yi jumped down from the roof and landed steadily on the ground.
“Who are you?”
He asked Chu Sihan.
The person in front of him had a mortal body, but he had a faint aura of authority.
“Shi Yi, are you alright?”
Yun Ting frowned. “This is Brother Chu. You don’t even know him?”
Everyone realized that something was amiss with Shi Yi.
He looked very sober and did not seem drunk at all.
“Who are you?”
Shi Yi frowned and looked at Yun Ting suspiciously.
Yun Ting was stunned. He seemed to have thought of something and turned to Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng nodded and said in a low voice, “It’s alright, I’ll handle it.”
“Ah Yi, do… do you still know me?”
Yu Mingyue walked over and asked carefully.
Shi Yi looked at her and shook his head. He said lightly, “No.”
“What… What happened to him?”
Yu Mingyue looked at Yu Yang in a panic, only to see that he was also puzzled.
“He’s fine. He’ll be fine in a while,” Lu Sheng said to everyone before turning to Shi Yi. “Follow us.”
Shi Yi hesitated for a moment before following them obediently.
Yun Ting let Fu Sisi and the rest sit first before he strode after them.
They only stood in the backyard.
Chu Sihan said coldly, “Get off my friend.”
Shi Yi touched his stomach and said in a low voice, “I’ve been hungry for a long time. I want to eat something.”
“What do you want to eat?” Lu Sheng asked.
“I want to eat chicken and drink wine. I’ll leave after eating,” said Shi Yi as he swallowed his saliva.
Lu Sheng nodded. “Okay, I’ll prepare it for you now.”
Perhaps because there were a lot of people in their house today, this fellow happened to pass by and came in to find food.
“Ah Han, you and Young Master Yun wait here first. I’ll go and prepare.”
Chu Sihan and Yun Ting nodded.
“Miss Lu, what happened?”
Lu Sheng had just returned to the front courtyard when Yu Mingyue asked impatiently.
“He’ll be fine.”
Lu Sheng smiled and consoled her. Then, she pulled Mdm Chen aside and spoke.
Since she did not raise chickens at home, Lu Sheng could only ask Mdm Chen to go back to the Liang family to catch one.
“Ah Sheng, we’ve caught the chicken. Do you want to kill it?”
“Yes. Sister-in-law, help me kill the chicken and cook it. I’ll go to the village entrance to get a pot of wine.”
“Alright!”
Lu Sheng nodded slightly and left with a wine pot.
No one in the courtyard knew what Lu Sheng was doing.
After thirty minutes, everyone saw Lu Sheng take out a small table and place the cooked chicken on it.
She brought over five bowls of rice, five pairs of chopsticks, and five wine glasses. Half a glass of wine was poured into the wine glasses each.
After that, she brought over an incense burner and stuck an incense stick on it.
Under everyone’s doubtful gazes, Lu Sheng said lightly, “Leave as soon as you’re full. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.”
The reason why she agreed to that ghost’s request was only to benefit the Lu family, not to be merciful.
Moreover, he only wanted a meal. It was very simple.
On the other hand, Chu Sihan and Yun Ting quickly helped the half-drunk Shi Yi back.
“Burp—Brother Chu, Brother Yun, where are we going?”
Shi Yi burped and asked vaguely.
“Where are we going?” Yun Ting asked faintly. “Go back to the table and continue drinking.”
“No, no!”
Shi Yi waved his hand and said, “I can’t drink anymore.”
“He remembers?” Fu Sisi asked.
Yun Ting nodded. “Yes, I remember, but I’m still drunk.”
“Ah Yi!”
Yu Mingyue walked forward and called out softly.
“Mingyue?!”
Seeing the worry in Yu Mingyue’s eyes, the groggy Shi Yi seemed to have woken up.
He thought that Yu Mingyue was acting like this because she saw him drunk. He suddenly stood up and explained awkwardly, “I drank too much just now. I won’t do it again!”
“It’s good that you’re fine!”
Yu Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled at him, but tears welled up in her eyes.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine!”
He forced himself to stand up and patted her head, seemingly consoling her silently.
“Mingyue, Young Master Shi is drunk. He might not be feeling well now. Let him go back and rest first.”
Seeing that Shi Yi had regained consciousness, Yu Yang reminded him.
When Yu Mingyue saw this, she nodded and said to Shi Yi, “Then… Go back and rest first!”
“I’m fine now. I’ll be fine after a while!”
Shi Yi smiled at Yu Mingyue.
Everyone looked at Lu Sheng, seemingly waiting for her to explain.
Lu Sheng glanced at Shi Yi and smiled. “Young Master Shi, there’s no need to force yourself. Go back and rest first.”
“Go back,” Chu Sihan said faintly.
Shi Yi hesitated for a while before nodding helplessly. “Alright, I’ll go back and rest now.”
“Go ahead!”
After Shi Yi returned to his room, Yu Mingyue pulled Lu Sheng and asked, “Miss Lu, what happened just now?”
“Nothing. He just encountered something evil. He’s fine now.”
She initially wanted to return to the Chu Mansion that day, but was delayed by Shi Yi’s matter.
The sun had already set. It was inauspicious to go back now, so they could only return tomorrow.
The next morning, before returning to Huang Yang Town, Shi Yi asked Chu Sihan.
Although he was drunk yesterday, he was still very sober. He was not so drunk that he fainted.
However, when he regained his senses, he was helped back by Chu Sihan and Yun Ting.
However, in his memory, he did not go to the backyard.
“Brother Chu, tell me clearly. Was I possessed yesterday?”
He vaguely remembered that there seemed to be something placed at the door.
“Young Master Shi, you’re overthinking. You just drank too much and suffered indirect amnesia.”
Lu Sheng walked over and smiled.
“Was I really not possessed?” Shi Yi questioned.
He really felt that he was not that drunk yet.
“Possessed?” Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “Anything evil will be afraid of you when it sees you. Why would it possess you?”
“Hehe—”
Shi Yi laughed dryly. “Miss Lu is so funny.”
“Young Madam Chu.”
Chu Sihan suddenly spoke.
Shi Yi looked at him in confusion, only to hear him say lightly, “It’s not Miss Lu, but Young Madam Chu.”
Shi Yi was speechless.
“Young Madam Chu is too distant. How about this, I’ll call Miss Lu sister-in-law in the future?”
Chu Sihan nodded quickly. “Okay!”
Shi Yi smiled. “Then, I’ll call her that in the future.”
Lu Sheng was speechless.
—————
The group parted ways after returning to Huang Yang Town.
Ling Yi, Yu Mingyue, and Yu Yang returned to the Yu Mansion.
Mu Yan went home himself. Shi Yi and Yun Ting returned to the inn.
Lu Sheng, Chu Sihan, and Fu Sisi returned to the Chu Mansion.
After knowing that Chu Siyun was back, Prime Minister Fu, Fu Xianyun, and the rest had already reached the Chu Mansion last night.
Strangely enough, Chu Siyun resisted everyone in the Chu Mansion except Chu Sihan, but not the Fu family.
When he heard that Prime Minister Fu and Fu Xianyun were his uncle and cousin, he called for them without thinking.
This made Mdm Chu’s heart ache.
When Lu Sheng, Chu Sihan, and Fu Sisi entered, they saw this strange scene.
Prime Minister Fu and Fu Xianyun were talking to Chu Siyun, but the people from the Chu Mansion could only watch from the side. It seemed like they could not interrupt at all.
“Brother, Sister-in-law!”
Seeing Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng return, Chu Siyun’s eyes lit up.
Lu Sheng smiled and nodded at him. Chu Siyun gestured for him to sit back down.
“You’re back?”
Prime Minister Fu looked at the two of them in relief. Then, he asked Lu Sheng, “Is the Third Prince still in Huang Yang Town recently?”
Lu Sheng shook her head. “Master said he had something on and had gone elsewhere.”
Prime Minister Fu sighed softly. “Before the Eldest Prince returned to the capital, he even entrusted me to send a message to the Third Prince. However, when I wanted to find him, he was gone.”
“I’m afraid he won’t return to Huang Yang Town anytime soon. I wonder what words the Eldest Prince left for the Prime Minister.”
When Lu Sheng heard that, she hurriedly smiled and said, “I can contact Master. If there’s a hurry, Prime Minister can tell me. I’ll bring your message to him.”
Prime Minister Fu shook his head. “It’s not a big deal. The Third Prince knows it himself.”
Although he said that, Prime Minister Fu still said the words the Eldest Prince entrusted him to Lu Zhou.
“It’s just that His Majesty’s body is not as strong as before. He wants the Third Prince to return to the capital to talk to His Majesty.”
Lu Sheng nodded. “I see! Don’t worry, Prime Minister. I’ll definitely pass on the Eldest Prince’s words.”
Although she said that on the surface, she could not help but sigh softly in her heart.
The real Third Prince might have feelings for the Emperor, but her master did not.
Hence, her master probably did not have such thoughts about filial piety.
In addition, now that the Emperor Ghost was missing, in order to find its whereabouts, Master did not have the leisure to be filial on behalf of the original Third Prince.
However, she still had to pass on this message. What if her master found his conscience one day and performed filial piety for the Third Prince?
Prime Minister Fu nodded. “Thank you, niece-in-law.”
