Chapter 464 The Coroner
"Yes, my master happened to find the coroner, but he was already seriously injured. Even my master's medical skills were not enough to save him."

Before he died, the coroner told my master about the unusual things he had found in the corpses during his autopsies years ago.

"My master, based on his experience, determined that it was the blood of the Jade Snowbird." Lu Qing nodded. "Many years after the coroner died, I learned that those who handled the case of my family's massacre had either retired to their hometowns or disappeared without a trace, and almost none of them could be found."

Aside from those who harmed the coroner, my master was the only one who knew the truth. He told me this personally after I came of age. No one in the court, or even in the capital, dared to discuss it.

"That coroner wasn't just something your master happened to find, was it?" Zhu Yu immediately understood what was going on.

Lu Qing laughed: "If he says so, then so be it."

I know it's impossible for this to be such a coincidence. My master is a reclusive man, but at that time he received a letter and went on a journey alone. When he returned, he brought back the coroner who was on the verge of death.

Only after the coroner told him the secret that no one else knew, and then breathed his last and died, did he say that he had happened to encounter the seriously injured coroner while he was out and about, and had taken him in.

Yan Daoxin and I both know very well that this matter is not that simple.

But my master usually dislikes talking about his care, concern, and efforts, and is even ashamed to show it. No matter how hard he tries to do something for you, he will describe it lightly and gloss over it, making you feel that he is just doing it casually and casually, and that he is not doing it wholeheartedly to celebrate his hard work.

So I guess my master has been secretly searching for the truth behind this all along, but he's afraid that if I find out, I'll be overly grateful to him. He can't stand that kind of mushy gratitude; he finds it incredibly troublesome.

Although this topic weighed heavily on Zhu Yu's mind, hearing about Qiyun Shanren's devotion to Lu Qing and his somewhat eccentric yet adorable personality still brought a smile to her face.

“It must be that God felt you shouldn’t be so helpless, so He sent you to your master,” she said sincerely.

“Hmm.” Lu Qing agreed. “But God probably felt that Master was not willing to get close to people. No matter how much he cared about someone, he would always be distant on the surface. So he sent you to my side as well.”

"Wrong!" Zhu Yu shook his head seriously, "God sent me to your side to use my abilities to help you achieve great things!"
With the great cause at hand, such vulgar things as personal feelings are utterly beneath our notice—ah!

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Qing had already picked her up in his arms. The sudden movement startled Zhu Yu, who quickly shut her mouth and swallowed the sound as soon as she let out a gasp.

Before she could react, Lu Qing had already blown out the oil lamp on the table, and the room was plunged back into darkness. Zhu Yu was gently placed back on the bed, and Lu Qing lay down next to her, one hand under her neck and the other tightly around her waist, pulling her close to his chest.

“I’ve told you before, I’m a very greedy person.” His voice came from the darkness. “Whether it’s grand plans or romantic love, I want it all.” “You were only halfway through your sentence, why did you suddenly say this…” Zhu Yu was filled with a contradictory feeling of excitement and relief. He reached out and pushed Lu Qing in the darkness, not letting him loosen his grip at all. He then resigned himself to the fact that the two of them were talking in this position, and wrapped his own arms around Lu Qing’s waist. “We haven’t finished talking about what we were just discussing.”

“I’m afraid you’ll get more and more excited as we talk, get carried away, and not be able to calm down. You’ll want to find out immediately what secrets are hidden behind the massacre of my clan.” Lu Qing chuckled and kissed Zhu Yu’s hair. “This method of interrupting your probing questions has always worked very well before. I want to see if it still works now.”

Zhu Yu couldn't help but laugh, and admitted somewhat helplessly, "You're right. If we keep talking, I really can't wait to dig out the truth right away."

“This matter cannot be rushed. Since the other party wants us to rush to find the answer, we must remain calm. Only if we remain calm will the other party throw out more bait to lure us in,” Lu Qing said. “Moreover, even if we learn something here, it may only be what the other party wants us to see, and may not be the truth of what happened back then. So we must not rush and must carefully discern the truth.”

not to mention……"

"What else?" Zhu Yu raised his head, looked at Lu Qing, and asked with some doubt.

"Moreover, over the years, my heart has been as still as water, and I haven't had any particular feelings. But today, for some reason, when I bring up those things from the past again, and think about how I've been all alone all these years, I feel inexplicably empty inside."

Lu Qing's voice was calm, yet it seemed to carry a hidden undercurrent of emotion: "In the past twenty years, everything I have possessed has been something that others could acquire with a wave of their hand, or something that they could take back in an instant with a frown. Everything has been an illusion."

So, I suddenly felt a pang of panic, and I couldn't wait to experience the feeling of the person I wanted being right beside me, in my arms.

"Just like now, I feel at ease."

The calmer his tone was, the more bittersweet Zhu Yu felt. She hugged Lu Qing's waist tighter and said, "Don't worry! I'm not some gold, silver, silk, or fine horse."

I am a living, breathing person with hands, feet, a mouth, and a brain. Who I choose to be with is my own decision; it's not something anyone can take away as they please.

Lu Qing chuckled softly, his nostrils filled with the faint, sweet fragrance emanating from Zhu Yu. His heart gradually calmed down, and he felt a rare sense of peace and tranquility.

Two more days passed, and Lu Qing and Zhu Yu not only took no further action, but even went out less often, spending most of their time watching Yan Daoxin's antics.

Yan Daoxin has gradually gained some fame in the capital of the Brahma Kingdom in the past few days, and more and more people are coming to him seeking medical treatment and medicine.

If it weren't for the brass pendant with the Qilin pattern that Lu Qing carried in his pocket every day, he would have seemed more lazy and idle than ever before.
