“My lords, this is Lord Lu’s residence.”
“However, Lord Lu seems to be in secluded cultivation at the moment. Why don’t I go in and report?”
Meng Ruyan looked at the guards who stopped her and frowned.
Because at this moment, she had an inexplicable feeling of unhappiness.
This feeling seemed to be the same as when Chen Yan came to find her and she had Lu Yuan hide from him.
At that time, she had stopped Chen Yan at the door, giving Lu Yuan enough time to hide.
The more she thought about it, the more irritated Meng Ruyan became.
Therefore, she said in a rarely used strong tone, “I’m Lord Lu’s practitioner partner. Is there anything wrong with me going to look for him?”
As she spoke, Meng Ruyan walked into the courtyard aggressively.
This action made the expression of the practitioner at the door turn ugly.
The practitioner that Lu Yuan had arranged to be at the door was naturally someone that he trusted extremely.
Therefore, when he saw Meng Ruyan trying to force her way in, the guards at the entrance did not care about the difference in strength between them.
He stood in front of Meng Ruyan and Bai Dafei.
“My lords, Lord Lu has ordered us not to disturb him unless it’s something particularly important.”
“And if anyone wants to visit him, they must inform him in advance.”
“We definitely can’t let anyone in.”
Seeing this, Meng Ruyan’s face darkened.
A blue electric arc appeared beside Meng Ruyan.
Sensing the terrifying power of the electric arc, the guard felt a strong sense of danger.
However, he still did not take half a step away.
Seeing this, Bai Dafei hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
“It’s a misunderstanding. It’s a misunderstanding.”
“Junior Sister Ye, don’t be angry. This practitioner is just loyal to his duty.
Quickly go in and report that Senior Brother Bai and Junior Sister Ye are here to visit him. Lu Yuan will definitely let us in after hearing it.”
Hearing this, the guard was about to say something when he realized that a hand had been placed on his shoulder.
The guard turned around and found Lu Yuan silently appearing behind him.
“You can leave first. These two are my acquaintances.”
Hearing this, the guard heaved a sigh of relief.
Just as the guard was about to leave, Lu Yuan patted him on the shoulder three more times, obviously complementing he did well.
This made the guard’s mood instantly improve.
This was because Lu Yuan had always been a person who separated public and private matters.
This time, he should have made a contribution.
Thinking of this, the guard left happily.
After the guards left, Lu Yuan looked at the demoness Meng Ruyan and Bai Dafei with a smile.
“Senior Sister Ye, Senior Brother Bai, why did you suddenly come to my residence?”
Before Bai Dafei could speak, Meng Ruyan said expressionlessly, “You mean we can’t come?”
When Lu Yuan heard this ‘murderous’ tone, he naturally knew that the demoness Meng Ruyan was blaming him for not contacting her for seven years.
However, Lu Yuan was already prepared for this situation.
Lu Yuan walked forward and said in a tone of three-part guilt and seven-part sincerity, “Senior Sister Ye, it’s not that I don’t want to contact you.”
“It’s just that I’ve been busy cultivating for a few years. In addition, when I was in the Imperial capital, I even encountered the Emperor’s rebellion and suffered quite a few injuries.”
“I did not send you a message so as not to worry you.”
Hearing Lu Yuan’s explanation, Meng Ruyan’s expression immediately turned better.
Her iced-like face started to melt.
She thought for a moment. Although she had other motives regarding Lu Yuan, however, after interacting with him for such a long time, she did not do any substantial harm to him.
On the contrary, she helped him join the Pharmacist Valley while sending him some spiritual stones every month.
Therefore, Lu Yuan had no reason to hate her and wanted to get rid of her.
He had not contacted her for so many years. Something must have happened.
Meng Ruyan had heard about the matter with the Emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom.
Although she knew that Lu Yuan seemed to have been in the Imperial City a few years ago, she did not know that he was involved in that matter.
In this incident, even the number one expert of the younger generation in the sect, Mu Qiqi, suffered a lot of injuries.
Lu Yuan, who was swept into it, definitely could not escape unscathed.
Thinking of this, Meng Ruyan looks at Lu Yuan gradually became gentle.
“Then why didn’t you tell me before? Am I not as good as that Young Miss Mu Qiqi?”
Hearing Meng Ruyan’s slightly soured words, Lu Yuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
“Jealous? Jealousy meant that it was not a big problem!” He thought
The scariest thing in this world wasn’t a girlfriend being jealous, but a girlfriend being angry but saying that it was nothing!
After confirming that Meng Ruyan’s anger had been reduced by half, Lu Yuan immediately said, “Senior Sister Ye, the situation was dangerous at that time. I couldn’t even protect myself, so I naturally didn’t want you to be involved in the danger.”
“After that, I recuperated for a few years. I didn’t want you to worry about me, so I didn’t contact you. I hope you won’t be angry.”
Hearing this explanation, the anger in Meng Ruyan’s heart completely dissipated.
What replaced it was an indescribable feeling of gratitude.
Although she didn’t speak again, the slight smile on her lips and the bashful look in her eyes showed that Lu Yuan’s words had hit the bottom of her heart.
Meng Ruyan wasn’t the only one whose mood had changed drastically.
Bai Dafei’s mood had also undergone a drastic change.
His initial gloating turned into shock.
“Oh my god, it has to be you, Junior Brother Lu!” He thought
“If I hadn’t personally participated in the battle of the palace, I might have believed your nonsense.”
“Heavily injured? Nursed for many years?”
“You didn’t even have a single scratch!”
Thinking of this, Bai Dafei suddenly understood why he had been single for so long.
He was too honest. He did not speak such sweet and beautiful words as Junior Brother Lu.
After seeing Lu Yuan’s actions, Bai Dafei completely understood why Lu Yuan was able to become practitioner partner with Meng Ruyan, who was in the Foundation Establishment Stage, while he was still in the Qi Cultivation Stage. If Bai Dafei was a female cultivator, he might have been deceived by Lu Yuan’s honey-like mouth.
After all, who wouldn’t say such nice words?
Just when Lu Yuan thought that everything was over, the smiling Meng Ruyan seem to have suddenly realized something, and her expression changed.
Then, she looked at Lu Yuan and asked faintly, “Junior Brother Lu, is there a servant girl…. in your residence?”
Hmm?
Lu Yuan was instantly shocked.
“Oh no, did I reveal a flaw?” He thought to himself.
Looking at Meng Ruyan’s scrutinizing gaze, Lu Yuan’s little brain began to spin rapidly as he searched for a countermeasure….
