Urban's Fury: The War Dragon God-Chapter 1267: The Truth Comes to Light
Seeing someone proposing a toast, Lin Ao quickly put Lu Ziyue out of his mind. After all, he wasn't so low that he'd feel uncomfortable without someone making trouble for him.
Lin Ao was at Yan Gui Building drinking and bragging with a bunch of Outer Sect Disciples, while Lu Ziyue's group began searching everywhere for Lu Ziyue.
Time flew by three days.
Today was the day of the Outer Sect examination.
"Xiao Bai, you need to take your medicine."
Lamb Face came in with a bowl of medicine. She harbored a lot of hostility toward Bai Yutang. Because of him, her lady's reputation was tarnished, yet this guy was too oblivious and even monopolized her lady's boudoir.
Such shamelessness, thick-skinned.
Li Feng looked at the Lamb Face girl who had come in: "You didn't add anything to the medicine, did you?"
"Pfft, you think everyone is as shameless as you."
"Miss instructed you to drink all of the medicine, so hurry up and drink it."
Lamb Face commandingly stepped forward and handed the bowl of medicine to Li Feng, her almond eyes glaring at him.
Li Feng took the medicine bowl.
"Why didn't my senior sister come?"
"Hmmph, do you think the lady has nothing to do all day? Besides, today is the Outer Sect's entrance exam, the lady is one of the examiners, she went to Dragon Gate Town early in the morning."
"Today is the Outer Sect exam?"
Li Feng felt a surge in his mind. He had been at Spirit Rhinoceros Pavilion for four or five days. Although his internal injuries hadn't fully healed, he was better enough to move around without much hindrance.
"Lamb Face, do you want to go down and see the spectacle?"
"Of course I want to…!"
Lamb Face said, suddenly came to her senses, lifted her eyes to Li Feng: "What do you want to do?"
Li Feng said: "With my health, what can I do? It's just that I've been lying down too long, and want to move around a bit. Let's go watch the spectacle, what do you say?"
Lamb Face hesitated for a moment.
"If you don't want to go, forget it, I'll go myself." Li Feng said, stepping off the bed and heading straight outside.
"Xiao Bai, you stop right there! Miss told me to watch over you."
Li Feng looked at the Lamb Face girl chasing after him, smiling at the corner of his mouth. This girl was quite a match for his daughter.
Having been out for so long, he really started missing his precious one.
The Outer Sect entrance exam was held in Dragon Gate Town, which was also an annual festival in Dragon Gate Town. After all, in this isolated place, entertainment activities were too few.
"The betting starts, the betting starts."
Those who loved to gamble directly opened bets, wagering on who would pass the Outer Sect exam this year. The townsfolk were also enthusiastic, sharing simple lists of candidates and starting their analysis.
The bustling scene was like a horse race outside.
This bustling event, Lin Ao naturally wouldn't miss. He even had someone set up a betting pool, which was his biggest annual earning.
"Brother Ao." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
A Lin Ao lackey ran to Lin Ao's side.
"Can't you see I'm busy, speak up if you have business, fart if you must."
Lin Ao said impatiently.
The lackey quickly leaned forward, whispered a few words into Lin Ao's ear. Initially disinterested, Lin Ao suddenly turned his head: "Are you serious?"
The lackey nodded repeatedly.
Lin Ao immediately handed over the betting pool to an attendant, turning to an isolated spot: "Say it again?"
"Brother Ao, Lu Ziyue might have died."
"Are you sure?"
Lin Ao took a deep breath, looking at this lackey. Lu Ziyue wasn't just anyone, the Lu Family was a major family in Divine Sword Manor, the leading non-Lin family among hundreds of people at Lu Family, not to be underestimated.
If it weren't for that, Lin Ao wouldn't have taken Lu Ziyue as an adversary.
The lackey nodded.
"Close to certain, these days, Lu Ziyue's group has been searching for him constantly. After I heard it, I also thought it odd. What kind of person is Lu Ziyue? Normally, he's very flashy, and besides, he's always been our old rival."
"Initially, I didn't think it strange, but upon reflection, it seems Lu Ziyue has been missing for days now, so I had people check it out. It seems as if Lu Ziyue has vanished into thin air."
"No trace in the Outer Sect, hasn't been seen in Dragon Gate Town for days. I even specifically asked Lu Family people, Lu Ziyue hasn't returned to the Lu Family village for several days."
"Such a big, living person, seems to have suddenly disappeared."
"Therefore, I think Lu Ziyue might have already died."
Lin Ao listened, and took a deep breath: "Lu Ziyue is the first heir of the Lu Family, usually surrounded by a group of people. How could he come to harm without anyone knowing?"
"Moreover, though Lu Ziyue might not be a match for my brother Lin Xiong, he has opened his Divine Acupoint and entered the Inner Sect; on that alone, he is quite arrogant."
"Who could make him disappear silently, even possibly kill him?"
Though Lin Ao didn't get along with Lu Ziyue, he knew that if Lu Ziyue died, it would be a thunderbolt, raising a huge storm.
"Brother Ao, I'm sure something happened to Lu Ziyue, but nobody has noticed this these days."
Lin Ao looked at the lackey and huffed: "The Manor is so big, with so many people, and occasionally someone goes into seclusion. It's quite normal not to be seen for a while."
"Perhaps, Lu Ziyue is in seclusion."
Lin Ao still did not want to believe Lu Ziyue was dead.
"Brother Ao, if Lu Ziyue went into seclusion, would his group not know, and still be looking for him everywhere?"
Lin Ao pondered for a moment.
"Did you ask all the people around Lu Ziyue?"
"Asked most of them, none of them knew."
Lin Ao felt quite troubled. On the one hand, he didn't want to believe Lu Ziyue was dead, because if Lu Ziyue died, it would stir up great waves. If he revealed this matter, who knows if it would backlash on him.
He definitely didn't want to invite trouble.
But if Lu Ziyue indeed met some mishap, and he acted as if nothing happened, when the truth comes out, he'd suffer consequences as well.
Just as Lin Ao was in a dilemma, a glimpse of Bai Yutang caught Lin Ao's eye.
"Have you asked Bai Yutang?"
The lackey turned to look at Bai Yutang walking toward the spectacle with the Lamb Face girl, and shook his head.
"No, Bai Yutang is now the Seventh Elder's Closed-door Disciple, lives atop Sword Mountain, practically unreachable."
"However, Bai Yutang used to be Lu Ziyue's henchman, the two were often together, even closer than other henchmen."
"Does Bai Yutang know something, Brother Ao, should we…!"
Before the lackey finished speaking, Lin Ao slapped the back of his head.
"What do you mean should, do you think if we ask Bai Yutang, he'd tell us?"
"Moreover, Lu Ziyue's disappearance and Bai Yutang's indifference is indeed strange. Before this, Bai Yutang was Lu Ziyue's biggest shadow. You could say they're inseparable."
"But now Lu Ziyue hasn't appeared for days, and Bai Yutang is thriving, don't you find it odd?"
"Brother Ao, now that you mention it, it indeed is strange."
"Could it be Lu Ziyue was killed by Bai Yutang…."
Before the lackey could finish, Lin Ao slapped him again: "Use your brain, will you? Why would Bai Yutang harm Lu Ziyue?"
"Then it's not Bai Yutang?"
