My spirit appeared on the road to exile, and I was treated as an ancestor.

Chapter 145 Lu Xingyao Sees the True Face of the Deity

The surrounding officials, and even many prisoners, all looked cautiously at the Lu family.

The earlier joyful atmosphere caused by the offerings quietly dissipated. They had thought that divine protection was the limit, but they never expected that the Lu family would have such a master hiding in the shadows.
In just that instant, before I could even see clearly, the person was gone. It was like seeing a ghost!

At this moment, these people wanted to please the Lu family but were also afraid.

The officers didn't dare to breathe, all looking at Du Hangwu with questioning eyes about what to do next. If a prisoner attacked the escorting officers, it was considered treason and could be executed on the spot.

Du Hangwu simply instructed two people to dispose of the body, gave his subordinates a few instructions, and said nothing more. He also did not ask Lu Qing any questions.

The Lu family is not something they can control. If they wanted to, they could easily kill all of them, including the escorting officials, on the very first day they left the city.

But the Lu family did nothing; in fact, they were the most proactive and least complaining members of the group, and they even received benefits.

The Lu family is impeccable in their dealings. As their leader, he will have to rely on them in the future. Therefore, no matter what the Lu family does or who they meet, he should pretend not to see it, and his subordinates should also act as if they are blind.

Don't ask about what you don't know, and don't ask what you shouldn't ask. This is the experience he gained from working under those big shots in the capital.

As evening fell, the sun set, and the evening glow enveloped the area.

Out of fear, those who had originally tried to get close to the Lu family dared not approach them anymore.

The emotions of these people changed so drastically that the Lu family members were somewhat unable to react. In the morning, those people had all come over to talk to them, but now they all seemed to be mute.

"Brother Yao, why are they all ignoring us now that one of the officials has died? Do they think we killed him?" One of the clansmen scratched his head, genuinely puzzled.

As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Xingyao, and was startled by what he saw. "Hey! Brother, why is your face burning like a monkey's bottom?!"

Lu Xingyao waved his hand, reeking of alcohol, and hugged the bottle. "I'm tired. You keep watch tonight, I'm going inside to take a nap!"

As he spoke, he swayed, struggling to make out the road ahead. Finally, he determined the direction of his tent and staggered towards it.

The night was as dark as water, with only the burning fire providing some light. Before he knew it, Lu Xingyao was tripped by a sudden rock, his body leaning forward, losing his balance, and his head was about to fall onto the stone on the ground.

Gu Xingzhao was just about to leave when he saw Lu Xingyao staggering in the night, reeking of alcohol and with an unnatural flush on his face, clearly drunk.

Seeing that someone had tripped, she didn't have time to think and quickly reached out to help Lu Xingyao up.

Almost instantly, Lu Xingyao steadied himself, but his arms lost their sense of direction. Using the help of others for support, he clung to Gu Xingzhao as if grasping at a lifeline, his breath reeking of alcohol, and he held him tightly in his arms.

Gu Xingzhao was startled and shoved Lu Xingyao away!

She was very strong. The drunken Lu Xingyao staggered backward and sat down on the uneven ground, staring ahead with dazed, drunken eyes.

His vision was blurred, and through his drunkenness, he vaguely saw a figure in front of him, dressed in a red and white dress, her figure like a goddess from a fairyland, stepping out of a painting, ethereal and unattainable, otherworldly and inviolable.

Lu Xingyao opened his mouth, but his voice seemed to be drawn away, leaving only his heartbeat becoming increasingly clear in the silence.

Gu Xingzhao's temples throbbed. He put his hands on his hips and looked at Lu Xingyao in front of him. "At such a young age, he's already learning bad habits and following others in his hooliganism."
"goddess."

A murmur startled Gu Xingzhao, who stared wide-eyed at Lu Xingyao.

Was it just his imagination? What did he just call out? Their eyes met, and Gu Xingzhao nervously swallowed, only to see the drunkard in front of him reaching out his hand.
At this moment, Lu Xingyao wanted to touch the blurry figure in front of him, but he only touched the cold air. He tried to open his eyes wide to wake up, but when he looked again, there was no goddess. There was only a tent sitting alone in front of him.

A night breeze blew by, and Lu Xingyao sobered up considerably, completely dumbfounded. "!!!"

what! ! !
He suddenly stood up and rushed towards the tent next to him.

Gu Xingzhao was startled by his reaction and subconsciously followed. His heart was filled with trepidation. Had Lu Xingyao just seen him?
Rushing into the tent, ignoring his father and two uncles, Lu Xingyao grabbed his grandfather's arm, hid behind him, and trembled, "Grandfather! I think I just saw a ghost."

Gu Xingzhao's mouth was trembling: "..." A ghost!?
Lu Qing frowned slightly. "A ghost?"

Lu Zhou was about to reprimand his son for his impulsive nature when Lu Yang, standing beside him, asked curiously, "Nephew, what kind of ghost did you run into?"

Even Lu Xingyan was staring at Lu Xingyao.

Lu Xingyao swallowed hard. "It's a female ghost. I saw she was wearing a red... no, a white dress!"

"Very good-looking"

Gu Xingzhao raised an eyebrow. "You're quite good at praising people. Fine, a female ghost it is. I'll reluctantly forgive you."

Lu Xingyao: "She's a womanizer! I was going back to my tent to sleep, but she came up and hugged me and wouldn't let go!"

Lu Yang's eyes widened in disbelief. Good heavens! Encountering a lustful ghost in the middle of nowhere? This must be something out of a storybook, right?

My nephew, don't let him read too many storybooks and develop hysteria.

Gu Xingzhao's face darkened. "."

Her fists clenched so tightly they cracked. When her reputation was ruined by Lei Ping, she didn't think much of it, but at this moment she wanted to cut Lu Xingyao into eight pieces and throw him into the sea to feed the fish!
At this moment, Lu Xingyao was still holding Lu Qing and crying bitterly. He had heard that those who were haunted by female ghosts were doomed to die.

"Grandfather, please find our ancestors quickly and ask them to check if that female ghost has run away. Please stop haunting me; I'm still young."

Lu Xingyan, standing to the side, seemed to be deep in thought. A beautiful female ghost?
Could it be...?
His gaze lingered on his nephew for a long time, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, as if he were thinking of something.

Lu Qing smelled a strong, familiar odor of alcohol on his grandson. He squinted and asked, "Have you been drinking?"

Lu Xingyao, half-drunk and half-awake, nodded.

Lu Qing chuckled, "Is there anything left? Give Grandfather a bite too."

Lu Xingyao was completely out of his mind at that moment, and blankly handed over the thermos he was clutching tightly.

As Lu Qing took the bottle and unscrewed it, the familiar aroma of wine filled his nostrils. The bottle was already empty, leaving only the scent.

The case is solved. It turns out that his own grandson had swiped the wine from him, leaving not a single drop for his grandfather.

Ghostly encounters? There's clearly only this drunkard here!
After a long while, Lu Xingyao, who had been thrown out of the tent by his father and second uncle, was left speechless.
