Chapter 75

Chapter 75: Night Traveler "First Watch" Lu Dong and the Lu family members saw off the White Eyebrow Elder to the gate of the Lu family, watching his figure disappear into the distance before turning back. The status of the White Eyebrow Elder was extremely high; a single word from him could cause a prominent family in Qingyun Town to fall overnight. Therefore, all the prominent families only sought to curry favor with him and absolutely dared not offend him.

After seeing off the White Eyebrow Elder, Lu Shaoyou directly returned to his courtyard. The day after tomorrow, he would set off for Yunyang Sect. These two days, he would spend more time with his mother, as he would not see her for three years once he arrived at Yunyang Sect. His mother would surely miss him.

Back in the courtyard, Lu Shaoyou told his mother about his departure for Yunyang Sect the day after tomorrow. Although Roland was somewhat reluctant, she was more filled with joy. Entering Yunyang Sect meant a promising future, and she would no longer have to worry about her son.

Thinking about not seeing her son for three years, Roland quickly instructed the servants to buy a lot of delicious ingredients, planning to cook more good food for her son over the next two days.

Over these two days, Lu Shaoyou did not go anywhere; he stayed in the courtyard, accompanying his mother and feeling the warmth of maternal love, experiencing a sense of unprecedented satisfaction.

During these two days, Lu Mei also visited the courtyard twice. Seeing Lu Mei's flirtatious manner, Lu Shaoyou found it somewhat unbearable. It was best to avoid her as much as possible.

From Lu Wushuang, Lu Shaoyou learned that Lu Wushuang, along with Wang Liang and Yang Man, whom he had met at Tianbao Gate, would also be heading to Yunyang Sect. Last time, the three of them had only returned to visit their families, and now that the holiday was over, they had to return to Yunyang Sect.

Tomorrow was the day to set off for Yunyang Sect. After nightfall, Lu Shaoyou sat cross-legged on the bed, planning to rest. He then began to slowly regulate his breathing. After a moment, a faint glow enveloped his body.

In the dead of night, a faint sound from outside the window reached Lu Shaoyou's ears. The footsteps were extremely light. If not for his current state of heightened sensory awareness while meditating, he would not have noticed them.

"So late, who could be outside?" Lu Shaoyou suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of confusion in his expression. Why would someone be walking past his courtyard in the middle of the night?

"Could something have happened?" After a moment of hesitation, Lu Shaoyou got up and leaped out of the window. A flash of sharpness in his eyes, he saw a black figure dart past in front of him.

"So late, who could it be?" Lu Shaoyou's heart sank, and driven by curiosity, he cautiously followed the figure.

In the dead of night, the Lu family was quiet. The moonlight was hazy, making the night even more serene. The figure ahead seemed not to notice that it was being followed, crossing several corridors before entering a courtyard.

Lu Shaoyou followed from a distance, finding the black-clad figure somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but he could not immediately recall where. The courtyard the black-clad figure entered was where Zhao Hui resided.

"So familiar, this person must have been seen somewhere before." Lu Shaoyou thought to himself, the figure giving him a very familiar feeling.

Lu Shaoyou did not dare to get too close, only watching from a distance. With his current strength as a Fourth Rank Warrior and his cultivation as a Spirit Warrior, his vision in the dark was much better than before.

"It's the mysterious person from the back mountain, the same figure. Indeed, it is related to Zhao Hui." Lu Shaoyou suddenly remembered. The black-clad figure was the strong enemy he had encountered on the back mountain, from whom he had narrowly escaped thanks to the appearance of Xiao Long and his father, Lu Zhong.

Lu Shaoyou did not dare to get closer, as the mysterious person was extremely powerful. If he were discovered, he might be in danger. It was better to observe for now.

"Second Brother, why did you come so late?" In the room, Zhao Hui looked somewhat panicked, asking the black-clad figure.

"Don't worry, the old man of the Lu family is in seclusion. I doubt anyone in the Lu family will discover me." The black-clad figure said lightly, "How is the investigation going?"

"Still the same. The Lu family is on guard against me, and I haven't found the whereabouts of that thing yet." Zhao Hui said softly.

"Speed up the investigation. We have waited so long and wasted a lot of time." The black-clad figure said.

"I know. I will speed up the investigation. But now, Lu Shaoyou has suddenly appeared. The Lu family might leave a backup with him, and we will have wasted our efforts." Zhao Hui said.

"Last time, we had a chance, but unfortunately, Lu Zhong appeared. His strength is greater than mine, allowing that boy to escape." The black-clad figure said.

"What should we do now? That boy has entered Yunyang Sect, a three-attribute warrior. It won't be difficult for him to become a direct disciple. If we take action, there will be more concerns." Zhao Hui said.

"Hmph, Third Sister, have you forgotten? In Yunyang Sect, that boy must survive to leave Yunyang Sect. The Lu family thinks that entering Yunyang Sect will protect that boy's life, but no one knows that Yunyang Sect is also our Zhao family's territory. Hmph." The black-clad figure said coldly.

"That's true, but the old man of the Lu family is indeed difficult to deal with." Zhao Hui said.

"The old man's strength is indeed strong, but when the time comes, our Zhao family will have someone to deal with him. For now, you just need to find the whereabouts of that thing as soon as possible." The black-clad figure said.

"Okay." Zhao Hui responded softly.

"I'll leave first." The black-clad figure said, then left the courtyard, disappearing silently from the Lu family.

Lu Shaoyou hid in a corner of the courtyard, watching the black-clad figure disappear. His expression turned slightly serious, and he decided to return to his courtyard. He was clear that the black-clad figure and Zhao Hui definitely had a significant connection.

"Who's there?" At that moment, Lu Shaoyou sensed a faint sound behind him. In an instant, his body darted away like a night owl.

"Lu Shaoyou, what are you doing here?" A figure appeared in front of Lu Shaoyou, and it was Zhao Da.

"Discovered." Lu Shaoyou's heart sank. If Zhao Hui found out that he had discovered the black-clad figure, there would be trouble. Without hesitation, he circulated his true qi and shot out a palm strike.

"Boy, you want to..." Zhao Da's face changed, and he shouted loudly. But just as he opened his mouth, his body slumped to the ground, unconscious.

"Uncle Nan." Behind Zhao Da, a figure appeared, and Lu Shaoyou was somewhat surprised. It was Uncle Nan.

"Boy, be more careful next time." Uncle Nan said lightly.

"Uncle Nan, what are you doing here?" Lu Shaoyou asked in surprise.
