BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1039 - Intense Bloody Smell!
Lu Yi was bored as he waited in his residence. He glanced at the sky and asked in much frustration, “It has been so long. Why haven’t they come back?”
A young girl serving by the side hurriedly said, “Perhaps they were delayed by something.”
“They’re just catching someone back. How can they be delayed?” Lu Yi was nonchalant. “They’re useless. When they come back, I must teach them a lesson!”
Seeing that he had signs of actually raging, that girl followed his words and softly said, “They’re your people. You can do whatever you want with them if you just say a sentence. You don’t have to be angry about these things.”
Hearing her say this, Lu Yi then felt slightly better as he laughed sinisterly and touched that girl’s waist. “Pan’er, you’re the best. I like you the most!”
Pan’er shyly and gently smiled as she leaned into his arms. “Young Master, you’re someone who will do great things in the future. If you settle accounts with them, won’t it be unbefitting of your status? Just being able to go to His Grace’s birthday banquet will cause so many people to be envious…”
Hearing this, Lu Yi—who was originally smiling—knitted his brows and pushed her to the floor.
Pan’er gasped in pain as she anxiously looked up. She then saw that his face was scarily dark, and she fearfully asked, “Y-young Master, what’s wrong?”
Lu Yi threw all the cutlery on the table to the floor! “Don’t even talk about it! Last night, the Lin Residence sent someone to say that I can’t go anymore!”
Pan’er widened her eyes. “W-why? Didn’t they already say—”
Lu Yi snorted coldly and scolded, “It’s all because of that sickly weakling! They said he wants to bring an additional heavenly doctor to accompany him and take care of him… There were originally a limited number of spots for Grotto-Heaven Cliff, and Lin Tianfeng—that old fogey—directly replaced me!”
Actually, with his status and experience, he originally didn’t have the right to go. Lu Yu’er had put in many good words for him in the middle for a very long time before he finally had the chance to go.
He didn’t expect things to change right before they set off!
“That father-son duo have long disliked me, especially that Lin Zhifei! He must’ve played some tricks in this incident! Logically speaking, an ill-bred child that caused his own mother to die should’ve long died! Who knew he’d survive until now?! And Lin Tianfeng has to dote on him the most! If not for him, my sister wouldn’t be childless after so many years in the Lin family!”
The more Lu Yi said, the angrier he got. There seemed to be a fire burning in his chest!
Pan’er fell onto the floor and shuddered in fear, not daring to say a word.
Lu Yi took a deep breath in and suddenly laughed coldly. “However, he can’t be delighted for long…”
“Young Master! Something bad has happened!” At this moment, a panicky voice suddenly sounded from outside the courtyard. A pageboy ran over with a pale face and directly kneeled in front of Lu Yi as he pointed outside. “Young Master! Something is amiss! O-outside—”
Lu Yi kicked him. “Talk properly!”
That pageboy felt a pain in his chest and didn’t dare to beat around the bush as he forcefully explained, “Young Master, t-they’re back… They’re currently o-outside… You should go and take a look yourself!”
Lu Yi finally realized that something was amiss, and he walked outside!
…
He walked all the way and saw a few boxes outside the door when he reached the entrance.
The boxes weren’t locked, and they seemed to have been opened. At the edge, one could faintly see some bloodstains.
The guards stationed at the entrance gingerly stood at the side as if there were something terrifying inside that box.
Lu Yi’s heart sank, and he commanded coldly, “Open the box!”
The guards exchanged glances, and they could only go up together to do it meticulously—
Da!
The box was opened.
When Lu Yi saw what was inside, his eyes narrowed!
There was nothing else inside but the few people he had sent out! Upon closer inspection, there were eight people—not more, not less.
At this point, they were all covered in blood, and they were shoved into the box in awkward positions! They looked extremely horrifying!
“Young Master, t-they haven’t died yet. Just…” said a guard bravely. “It’s just that… their arms and legs are all broken… so they’ll be handicapped in the future!”
This was even more violent and cruel than directly killing them! Death would end everything once and for all, but becoming a cripple would only cause them to suffer even more pain and torture!
Lu Yi’s face turned green in disbelief.
Without speaking, it was known to all how they were injured!
That Dugu Yue must’ve done it! He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles cracked! “Dugu Yue… you have a death wish!”
…
The moment Chu Liuyue reached the Lin Residence entrance, a guard greeted her with a face filled with smiles. “Ms. Dugu, you’re here! Master and Fourth Young Master have been waiting for you for a long time!”
Chu Liuyue simply smiled. “I met with a small accident on the road, so I was delayed.”
“It’s fine! It’s fine! Quickly, come in!” As he spoke, the guard quickly brought Chu Liuyue and Dugu Mobao into the residence.
The journey was smooth, and they soon arrived at Lin Zhifei’s yard.
Once she went in, Lin Tianfeng and Lin Zhifei looked up in unison.
Lin Tianfeng hurriedly said, “Ms. Dugu, I have prepared all the herbs, and they’re all here. Can you check if there’s anything missing?”
Chu Liuyue walked over, and her eyes curved up. “Master Lin, you went to get the herbs yourself, so there’s naturally not a problem. I’ll start to refine the medicine next.”
Lin Tianfeng hurriedly nodded.
However, Lin Zhifei’s nose moved, and he smelled something.. He looked up at Chu Liuyue. What an intense bloody scent!
