Chapter 507 Personal Disciple
Lu Qing and Zhu Yu understood perfectly what he meant.

No wonder this secluded house has the same alluring fragrance as the Fairy Castle.

No wonder the high priest went into seclusion for more than a year. The five of them, including the high priest and the four protectors, died peacefully, without any sign of realizing something was wrong or struggling to break out.

Combined with the fake lord's hints, everything seems to make sense.

As for the special stone slab on the ground that was the same as the one in the small mountain building, and the rammed earth wall outside, Zhu Yu didn't pay attention to it for the time being.

The fake lord, seemingly not satisfied with just spitting, kicked the high priest's corpse hard, sending it tumbling to the ground and rolling several times.

Zhu Yu was startled and cowered, glancing furtively at the high priest's corpse while trying to avoid it.

Fortunately, she was a meticulous person. Even under those circumstances, after the autopsy, she carefully stitched up the high priest's wounds and even tied his clothes back on without missing a single detail.

Otherwise, if this fake castle lord kicks you up and you roll around a few times, whether your clothes come undone, revealing the stitches on your chest and abdomen, or because the stitching was hastily done and carelessly, the stitches break open after being kicked, and the contents of your chest spill out onto the ground... either way, it will be bad!
"Who exactly are you?" Lu Qing also stepped aside to avoid her clothes touching the high priest's corpse, and asked the fake castle lord with a look of surprise.

The fake fortress master said, "I am the personal disciple of the senior brother who was killed by Emperor Jin."

After doing those things, his master did not receive the benefits and rewards he deserved for a long time, and gradually felt uneasy, fearing that he had fallen into the trap of Emperor Jin.

But since things had come to this point, he knew he couldn't escape no matter what, so he told us disciples to flee the capital overnight and hide elsewhere. If he received the wealth and honor promised by Emperor Jin, he would send someone to find us and bring us back.

After we escaped and hid, we waited a long time for news of our master. When someone finally found us, it turned out to be the people who were chasing us.

Almost all of my fellow disciples were killed by Emperor Jin's secret guards. To avoid being found by them, I had to disfigure myself, transforming into this grotesque, inhuman creature. Only then did I manage to escape their pursuit and save my life.

Lu Qing's gaze lingered on the fake fortress lord's ferocious face for a moment before he asked again, "So what do you want from telling me all this?"

"I want you to see things more clearly, to see who is your enemy and who is your friend." The fake lord snorted coldly, seemingly quite dissatisfied with Lu Qing's previous actions. "In your life, although you could not become a prince, you should have been a person of nobility that most people would not even dare to dream of."

You could have had loving grandparents, parents, and siblings by your side, instead of being all alone and helpless like you are now.

You could have married a beautiful and noble lady from a high-ranking family through your parents' arrangement, and the two of you would have lived in harmony and mutual respect, instead of having to compromise and follow someone's wishes to marry a lowly and vulgar concubine's daughter from a princely family.

You didn't have to suffer these hardships in the first place, don't you understand that?

The "vulgar illegitimate daughter of a third-rate prince" silently touched her nose, glanced at the fake lord, and then quietly lowered her eyelids.

"Now that I know, what's next? What can I do?" Lu Qing retorted.

The fake castle lord grinned and said, "If you hadn't meddled in my affairs before, my plan would have gone much more smoothly than it has now."

Unfortunately, you ruined many of my plans, so I had no choice but to risk showing myself after returning the item to its rightful owner, just to have something to say to you.

Now you understand the truth of the matter. If you are willing to continue being a lackey and doing dirty work for the enemy who killed your whole family and caused you to be in this situation, then I have nothing to say.

However, if you still harbor resentment and haven't forgotten the deep-seated hatred for your clan, I can help you.

"My master's revenge cannot go unavenged, so if you stop interfering with my plans, perhaps I can help you find an opportunity to seek justice for your family."

Lu Qing lowered his eyes and remained silent.

The fake lord was clearly not surprised by his reaction. After a while, he said, "Since I told you this, I know you wouldn't believe it completely."

Therefore, I don't need any promises from you right now, or for you to form an alliance with me immediately.

All I need is for you to know the truth, so you don't unknowingly work for your enemy.

When you finally come to your senses and understand things, I won't need you to devise anything with me. I just need you to stop targeting my people and ruining my plans.

Of course, if you are willing to join forces with me, I would be more than happy to do so.

In short, I will reappear to see you after some time. At that time, you can tell me your answer. I will give you ample time to consider it.

Lu Qing nodded slowly, glanced outside, and said to the fake fortress master, "You killed all the guards of those vassal kings outside. You should not stay here any longer. You should leave now."

If we are caught by the people Brahma sent to investigate, and we are unable to escape, don't blame me for not being able to help.

The fake castle lord was clearly satisfied with his attitude, nodding, but did not rush to leave, instead turning his gaze to the runes and talismans.

"Don't worry." Lu Qing saw through his meaning. "Those two won't lay a hand on you without my orders."

As he spoke, he also gave the runes and talismans a wink.

Fuwen Fulu looked unwilling, but he couldn't go against Lu Qing's wishes, so he could only frown and put the sword back into its sheath.

The fake lord was very satisfied with this, a smug smile on his face. He cupped his hands to Lu Qing, turned around and walked quickly outside.

When he left the high priest's secluded room, he looked back and, through the layers of blood-stained gauze curtains, could still see the four figures of Lu Qing and his servants standing motionless inside.

This put the fake castle lord's slightly anxious heart at ease, and without further delay, he quickly walked towards the arched bridge to leave.

He had only gone halfway when he suddenly felt a faint sound behind him, very soft, but it seemed to be approaching him.

Out of caution, the fake castle lord suddenly stopped and turned around.

Before he could even see who was behind him, a cold glint flashed before his eyes, and a chill ran through his chest.
