Chapter 1146: Father and Son

Aye, it was good.

The jelly beans were too delicious.

Sect Master Lu felt that his life had reached its peak!

As he walked, he took a step forward.

Then, he returned to the Fire Slaughter Sect. “I think I came to the wrong place!” He turned and walked away expressionlessly.

“Sect Master Lu.”

The black-robed guard at the door calmly stopped him.

Lu Aotian stuffed his candy into his pocket and hid it. He turned around and looked at him, looking like he had just recognized him.

He looked at the plaque on the top and then at the black-robed guard. “So this is the Fire Slaughter Sect. I didn’t see my own disciple and thought I had come to the wrong place.”

The black-robed guard said, “The City Lord invites you.”

“How did the City Lord know…”

Lu Aotian swallowed his words halfway.

He thought that he had not been followed along the way. Where did the City Lord get the news that he had returned to the island?

He admitted that he had gotten a little carried away from eating the jelly beans and wandered around Fengdu City a few more times.

However, it was not to the extent that he would be discovered by the City Lord

Manor, right(

“Sect Master Lu?” Seeing that he was silent, the black-robed guard called out to him.

Lu Aotian said, “I’ve been floating on the sea for so long and I smell like a salted fish. I’ll go back and take a shower first, change into clean clothes before meeting the City Lord!”

The black-robed guard said, “There’s no need. The City Lord wants to see Sect

Master Lu immediately.”

Lu Aotian braced himself and said, “Alright… Alright, let’s go!”

Lu Aotian followed the black-robed guard to the City Lord Manor.

The City Lord sat at the master seat of the meeting hall.

It was already late, and there were candles in the meeting hall.

The dim yellow light landed on the City Lord’s dignified face, making him, who was already unsmiling, look even more fierce and awe-inspiring.

After the black-robed guard brought Lu Aotian into the meeting hall, he consciously retreated.

Lu Aotian cupped his hands and bowed to the person sitting at the table. “Greetings, City Lord.”

There was only one city on Thousand Mountains Island, and there was only one lord in the city.

This was the City Lord in name, but he was actually the king of the entire island.

All sects had to listen to his orders, and all islanders had to obey his rule.

No matter how hot- tempered Lu Aotian was, he would not cause trouble in front of him.

The City Lord said, “Sect Master Lu, it’s been hard on you since you left the

Great Zhou.”

Lu Aotian cleared his throat and said, “I failed to complete the mission and let the City Lord down.”

The City Lord continued, “When did Sect Master Lu come to the island?”

Lu Aotian said, “Just now, I got off the ship when it was almost dark.”

The City Lord said, “Is Sect Master Lu the only one back?”

Lu Aotian said, “Yes, I was originally returning with Master Ming Shi. There was a storm at sea and we were separated.” The City Lord said, “Ming Shi is dead.”

Lu Aotian was stunned.

The City Lord’s sharp gaze landed on Lu Aotian’s face as if he wanted to tell if his reaction was true.

Lu Aotian’s shock was definitely not faked.

Although the storm at that time was huge, he believed that with Ming Shi’s ability, he would not die.

The City Lord said calmly, “The guards of the City Lord’s Mansion found his corpse near the port. He died from a stab in the back. In addition, he had lost an arm previously. It doesn’t look like he was cut by a sharp blade, but like it was torn off.” Ridiculous…

Could it be…

Lu Aotian did hear a scream after the ship was destroyed.

However, he was rolling in the waves and did not see what had happened.

The City Lord asked, “Sect Master Lu, do you know who did it?”

Lu Aotian lowered his head and cupped his hands. “I don’t know. Arhat Ming

Shi was fine before we were scattered by the storm.”

The City Lord said, “Sect Master Lu, do you have anything else to report?”

Lu Aotian paused and said, “Fourth Young Master… is dead. We didn’t catch the murderer.”

The mayor’s expression was calm. “Did you see who the murderer was?

Lu Aotian shook his head. “No.”

The City Lord was silent for a long time.

Lu Aotian couldn’t tell what he was thinking, but he must be very angry that his adopted son was dead.

Except that he never showed it on his face.

The City Lord slowly said, “What happened? Tell me in detail.”

“The Fourth Young Master cooperated with the Second Prince of the Great Zhou and sent us to kill the Second Prince’s thorn in his side. Who would have thought that we would fall into a trap and be captured by the Great Zhou? I’m not sure what happened after that. In the end, it was Arhat Ming Shi who went to save me. At that time, the Fourth Young Master was already dead.” At this point, Lu Aotian hesitated. “However, I vaguely heard something.”

The City Lord said, “Go ahead.”

Lu Aotian said, “The weapon that killed the Fourth Young Master was the Pear

Blossom Dart of the Hundred Flowers Palace.”

The City Lord gripped the armrest tightly. “The Hundred Flowers Palace?”

After Lu Aotian left, Xie Jinnian walked out from behind the screen.

“Foster father.”

“What do you think?” the mayor asked.

Xie Jinnian looked at Lu Aotian’s gradually disappearing back in the night and said, “He didn’t kill Arhat Ming Shi, and Fourth Brother’s death has nothing to do with him, but he hid something from us.”

The City Lord said, “Continue.”

Xie Jinnian said, “I sent someone to ask around just now. Sect Master Lu came back on Madam Nie’s ship. He doesn’t have a relationship with Madam Nie, and it can even be said that they don’t know each other at all. There must be a reason why Madam Nie would be kind enough to let a foreign man board the ship.

“The coroner examined Arhat Ming Shi’s corpse. The exact time of his death was in the evening. During that period of time, only two large ships landed on the island. One was Madam Nie’s, and the other was hired by a father and son.

“The murderer who killed Arhat Ming Shi must be from these two ships.”

The City Lord said seriously, “Send someone to capture that father and son!”

Seeing that Xie Jinnian was silent, the City Lord asked strangely, “What’s wrong?”

Xie Jinnian frowned and said, “That father and son are gone.”

When Lu Aotian came out of the City Lord Manor, he saw many guards searching on the streets. After asking, he found out that they were looking for the murderers of Arhat Ming Shi.

“Have you seen these two?”

A guard held two portraits and asked a passing young man.

The young man shook his head. “I’ve never seen them.”

Lu Aotian leaned over and looked at the portrait.

The guard said, “You’ve seen them before?”

Lu Aotian: “No.”

The guard said to the surrounding commoners, “If anyone discovers the persons in the portrait, report to the City Lord Manor immediately. The reward is a thousand taels! If anyone secretly hides a criminal, they will be severely punished ! ”

Lu Aotian left without looking back.

What did it have to do with him?

It’s not like he killed someone.

He didn’t know those two either.

Lu Aotian returned to the Fire Slaughter Sect.

A disciple hurriedly welcomed him. “Sect Master, you’re finally back!”

Lu Aotian crossed the threshold. “Is there anything going on in the sect recently?”

The disciple said awkwardly, “It’s fine, it’s fine. It’s just that two people came just now and insisted that they were your creditors and showed us the token you mortgaged.”

Lu Aotian glared. “Pfft! Who do I owe anything to? I want to see who is extorting from me! ”

He hurried to the reception hall and saw Wei Ting and Jing Yi on the chairs. Wei Ting was holding his big saber.

Lu Aotian was speechless!
