Chapter 357: At the Eye of the Storm, a Crazy Decision?!

He certainly didn't want to, as an elder, actually kowtow to a junior.

However... fortunately, 【Father】 also prefers it, forcibly following the internal hierarchy of North Road.

【Father】's decision pushed North Road onto the forefront of the storm.

Everyone felt that the North Road organization had already overwhelmed the Little Cherry Blossom authorities.

Even officials and crown princes' words were nothing compared to North Road's!

Upon hearing this, 【Father】 laughed out loud.

Although he is not the highest law enforcer of North Road,

he is a powerhouse ranked among the strongest.

He is also the most powerful person behind the scenes of North Road.

Everyone says North Road is overly arrogant and conceited.

If this continues, it will surely replace this country.

However, the person in charge of Little Cherry Blossom does not think so.

He is merely a strong person; by that logic, he is also a subject of Little Cherry Blossom.

No matter what the person in charge of North Road does, they never challenge the nation's bottom line.

There is no need to bear any responsibility for it.

Upon hearing this, the officials' faces all changed.

They are all influential nobles and powerful individuals.

Their existence maintains the balance of the Little Cherry Blossom Kingdom.

Now it seems this balance has been dug away.

They don't even have a chance to resist.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi would have a face full of question marks.

What the heck? What are you talking about?

How can I not understand?

Lu Yi naturally pretends to be foolish; not pretending at a critical moment is tantamount to walking into the gunmouth.

【Father】 also likes to see him act foolish.

Lu Yi cannot get involved in this matter; indeed, he must stand in the middle position.

To prevent ill-intentioned people from deliberately causing trouble.

Don't ask why; human hearts are unfathomable.

It's hard to imagine which official would dare to operate on him.

No matter how much he hides, they eventually caught hold of evidence.

They even sent it before the Little Cherry Blossom authorities.

The person in charge picked up a pen, examined it up and down, and found Lu Yi somewhat familiar.

After learning the full story, they sighed.

Although they didn't want to punish, not punishing also wasn't good.

For example, now... the person in charge is thinking about how to punish.

After thinking it over, it would be better to... sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

Thus, they handed the task over to other persons in charge.

The war sounded.

Lu Yi was then dispatched here to stand guard.

This is one of his purposes for coming here.

Another purpose is 【Father】's instruction.

What kind of person do you want 【Father】 to be?

Lu Yi will stay silent and reflect.

He will feel, what is it that makes you ask this question.

【Father】 is not a nice person.

His true appearance is unknown to anyone.

Even his age and gender are unknown.

However... Lu Yi looked at Lu Yuan beside him, his expression inscrutable.

If Lu Yuan really goes, will it cause 【Father】 to appear personally?

A gentle breeze stirred, moving Lu Yuan's hair.

Moonlight spilled onto his body.

As if he had draped a white robe over himself.

It gave him a mysterious aura.

Sensing the aura, Lu Yuan looked toward Lu Yi not far away.

Lu Yi involuntarily gave a light cough.

"Looking at your appearance, you seem to have thought of an old acquaintance?"

Lu Yi nodded, then shook his head.

Lu Yuan?

What do you mean by nodding then shaking your head? Speak, are you expecting me to say something?

What can I say???

Hahaha, no, I just thought of my father.

Father?

Hmm, he is an extremely mysterious person; I don't know who he is, nor his age.

Lu Yi said this, then fell into thought for a while.

He is the person who has followed father the longest, yet he still can't see father's intentions.

Who else could see through it?

He knows himself not to be foolish.

It's impossible to miss the crucial information!

Lu Yi was lost in thought when a gentle breeze blew past.

It also brought him a sense of helplessness.

Looking at you, you don't seem to like father's viewpoint much?

Not bad.

Lu Yi shook his head helplessly.

He really is helpless.

He can talk about this kind of thing, but not too much.

After all... he still wants to live.

Lu Yuan seemed to understand Lu Yi's meaning and didn't interrupt.

Only the corner of his mouth curled up.

His face was full of smiles.

He will eventually make Lu Yi speak.

But... not now.

Such a thing cannot be done now.

He wants to arrange things; for now he needs to arrange them properly.

What do you want to ask about arranging?

Lu Yuan said: They're already my dogs, after all, dogs have their own ways.

Dogs have things dogs do.

The wind swayed lightly, moving Lu Yuan's hair.

Lu Yuan strode forward, saying nothing and showing no reaction.

Finally, when they had walked nearly six kilometers.

They arrived before the first camp.

Here was shrouded in night, tall trees blocking the original camp.

Only a high platform blending with the trees was exposed.

But... as a cultivator, Lu Yuan, would he not notice such a thing?

Lu Yuan stopped his steps and looked toward Lu Yi not far away.

Are there any cultivators inside?

Lu Yi shook his head, then nodded.

Can he say there aren't any?

No, because he doesn't know either.

Lu Yuan saw Lu Yi in this state.

He rubbed his temples somewhat irritably.

No, just say whether there are any or not.

Why are you hemming and hawing, making it seem like he made a mistake.

Are you deliberately whetting his appetite?

No, if you have something to say, just say it.

Lu Yuan said somewhat impatiently.

I...

"Pa!" a slap directly hit Lu Yi's head.

Lu Yi covered his painful head.

His complexion looked somewhat grim.

As if saying: "Why did you hit me again?"

Lu Yuan??? What the heck? I feel you're not convinced.

Thus, under Lu Yuan's fierce expression, another strike came, making Lu Yi suck in a breath of cold air from the pain.

That complexion, pallid to the extreme.

Lu Yuan clapped his hands and directly snapped: "I told you to speak, not to stay mute?"

How? Did you forget that when we met, I slapped you that once?

Don't tell me... you've healed your wound and forgotten the pain?

Lu Yi... farewell, farewell, I can't afford to provoke you, nor can I hide.

Lu Yuan saw Lu Yi about to run, and directly reached out, grabbing Lu Yi's arm.

Lu Yi winced in pain as he turned his body, looking at Lu Yuan pitifully.

Did I tell you to leave?

Is there any cultivator inside? Give me a definite answer.

"I…… I don't know!" Lu Yi scratched his head embarrassedly, with an expression: "I'm not lying to you."

Lu Yuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

How could you not know?

With your abilities, how could you possibly not know?

No…… He seems to have been forcibly assigned here.

According to the persona Lu Yi previously described.

For such a thing, he indeed wouldn't care.

But, how can you know nothing at all?

Even an idiot would know something, right?

I guess, there isn't any.

Wang An, however, spoke up.

His expression was somewhat solemn, and even his eyes bore thought and gravity.

If there really were, they wouldn't have placed it in such a hidden spot.

"Not necessarily." Lu Yi spoke, shrugging helplessly: "It's not me…" (End of chapter)
