Chapter 283: Can you please at least show a bit of concern?

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

After the act with Ling Wuxia, Lu Mingshu entered the hold of the ship.

“Greetings to Seniors.” Lu Mingshu bowed to Mao Xuan and the rest.

Yu Ruohan immediately held her up. “No need for the courtesy. Miss Lu must have gone through a lot of hardship over these two months.”

“I’m fine, but I’m sorry for making all of you worried,” Lu Mingshu replied softly.

All five Spirit Realms from the Bon Voyage Fleet came to the foot of Jasper Sun Mountain, and they all looked extremely exhausted, showing that they had not yet taken a good rest.

“Friend Lu went to Jasper Sun Mountain because of our invitation, so of course we have to take responsibility for your safety.” Mao Xuan smiled warmly.

None of the five talked about the test since those who came out earlier made it clear that the Grandmaster had already left, which meant their plan had already gone down the drain.

Under the circumstances where they didn’t hold onto any hope anymore, Lu Mingshu added on, “Senior Mao, the Grandmaster has agreed to loan you the blessed land.”

All five were struck dumb.

“Miss Lu,” Sir Ning looked at her, unable to believe what he just heard. “Are you sure? Didn’t the Grandmaster leave?”

Lu Mingshu nodded. “He did, but I met him before that.”

It was such a pleasant surprise for the fleet.

Recently, the five of them had already accepted the truth and were planning to leave Beiming and build up a new business elsewhere. Their original plan working was what they least expected to happen.

Yu Ruohan was on cloud nine. “We made the right choice. Miss Lu did indeed get the Grandmaster’s recognition.”

But outside their expectations, Lu Mingshu shook her head. “Grandmaster didn’t choose me.”

“Then why...?” Yu Ruohan stared at her in confusion.

“Was it Ling Wuxia?” Xuan Xiu huffed. “Ancient Jade Summit got it again.”

“Not her either.” Lu Mingshu shook her head again.

The five of them exchanged glances.

The five Spirit Realms thought that, if it wasn’t Lu Mingshu, it would be Ling Wuxia. The others weren’t that bad, but with those two around, they would hardly stand a chance.

“Is it the one that the Pure White Grace Pavilion hired?” Lin Zongting furrowed his eyebrows.

“Yes. Three of us went missing, but only two of us came back because she was chosen by the Grandmaster,” Lu Mingshu replied.

The five of them tried their best to recall, but they could only remember that she was in black.

Since none of them had much impression of her, it showed that the person was not anything special. How unexpected....

Lu Mingshu didn’t talk about who Zhou Ruying really was since that had nothing to do with the fleet. “Even though the Pure White Grace Pavilion hired her, they didn’t hire her to snatch the request. Thus, before she left, she sold the request to Ling Wuxia. Ancient Jade Summit got it.”

The five of them did not say much about it. They all expected it. The fleet was too small to fight against such a huge sect, and it wasn’t their problem anyway since they got what they wanted.

Sir Ning was more than gratified. “Since the Grandmaster is willing to lend it to us, then let’s prepare for it. Elder Brother, take a rest first. We’ll announce this soon.”

“Yeah!” Yu Ruohan was all smiles. “I thought we would have to start all over again, but things have turned out unexpectedly.”

“It’s too early to be happy.” Mao Xuan looked at them calmly. “We will only be safe if I actually breakthrough.”

As the Bon Voyage Fleet was celebrating the good news, Lu Mingshu went over to another room.

Xie Zhanghui was already on edge when she walked in. Seeing her enter, he couldn’t help but roast her; “Miss Lu, even though my young master may have offended you in some ways, he has always treated you genuinely. Can Miss please at least speed up now since we don’t even know if he’s still alive?”

Lu Mingshu could tell that Xie Zhanghui was being sarcastic. She didn’t get angry, she just calmly shut the door. “What exactly happened?”

Xie Zhanghui looked at her in annoyance. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to repeat what he said earlier with a calm voice. “The news of Miss going missing was spread to Zhongzhou, and Young Master went missing soon after that. Her Highness sent me to come after him, but he was nowhere to be seen at Jasper Sun Mountain.”

“I know that,” Lu Mingshu said in a monotone, “What I’m asking for is detail. When and where did he go missing? How was he when he went missing? Did you see any traces of him, even if you aren’t sure if it’s really him?”

Xie Zhanghui stared at her blankly. He was ten years older than Lu Mingshu, and he was the guardian of the fifth clan. Xie Lianzhen had a weird character and was hardly in Seventh Truth Platform, so Xie Zhanghui took charge of what happened in the clan. He was a powerful figure in the clan, but after Lu Mingshu started speaking, he felt like the inferior party.

He thought for a moment before answering, “It was during the twenty-fourth of July....”

After hearing Xie Zhanghui once, Lu Mingshu asked him the same question again. She repeated every small detail numerous times patiently until Xie Zhanghui could get the exact answer.

“So, you mean that he was going to recover soon?”

Xie Zhanghui tried to recall. “Yes. Young Master had already taken the last set of medication. By right, he should’ve fully recovered after three to five days.”

“When he left, he left his wheelchair behind, which means that he could already walk?” Lu Mingshu asked.

“Young Master’s legs have already recovered for quite a while,” Xie Zhanghui answered. “We planned to have him start walking after he fully recovered.”

After he finished, he realized Lu Mingshu was staring at him, boring a hole through his head.

“Is there anything Miss Lu wants to know?” Xie Zhanghui shivered seeing how she stared at him.

Lu Mingshu shook her head. “There’s something you didn’t tell me. You know the real reason why he left without the wheelchair.”

A pang of guilt hit Xie Zhanghui, but he remained silent and shrugged it off.

That’s something that nobody should know, and even if someone were to know, I couldn’t be the one to say it.

Luckily, Lu Mingshu stopped probing, and Xie Zhanghui heaved a sigh of relief. She drummed the table lightly and asked. “If he could disappear under your eyes, he should be self-sufficient, and his ability has already been restored. So, it could be that something happened on his way here. Do you have a map?”

Xie Zhanghui was daydreaming while she was drumming the table. Young Master does this too.... He jumped out of his skin when he heard her question.

“Yes.”

Lu Mingshu spread out the map that he gave her and stared at him carefully. “You said that you suspect he passed somewhere, where is it?”

Xie Zhanghui immediately pointed at some areas on the map.

Lu Mingshu looked at where he pointed at and furrowed her eyebrows.

The points were all entrances to Beiming, such as Green Hill Banks. Xie Lianzhen just disappeared into thin air after a few days.

Xie Zhanghui saw the look on her face and added on, “Emissary Xiahou has already started investigating from where Young Master disappeared. She hasn’t gotten any news about him yet.”

Lu Mingshu didn’t budge. As if she didn’t hear him, she stared at the map intensely and looked at the map again and again. Her eyes trailed from Zhongzhou to Jasper Sun Mountain repeatedly.

“Miss Lu?” Xie Zhanghui nudged her after a while.

Lu Mingshu covered his mouth in response to shut him up and went back to the map again.

Xie Zhanghui couldn’t help but see his young master in her. Same as Young Master, staring at the map every day and finds it happy. Does Miss Lu have the same fetish too?
