I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 470 The Least Talented Du Yueyao

Holding a cloth bag in each hand, on the left was a plucked large rooster, on the right were chicken feathers and giblets, Lu Zheng appeared not far from the Wang Residence, swaggering back.

He had just walked a short distance when he came across a couple.

"Brother Lu?"

"Eh? Brother Zhao, Miss Lin?"

The people who had come were Zhao Wenrong and the Lin Yushu he had been involved with.

"Brother Lu, have you moved to Tongxia Square?" Zhao Wenrong asked with surprise.

The Wang Residence was located in Tongxia Square, in the northwest of the city, considered the largest wealthy district in Tonglin County. Not only Old Master Wang lived here, but also the Lin Family to which Lin Yushu belonged, and Zhao Wenrong’s purchased residence were all here.

Speaking of Lu Zheng, what kind of person was he, Zhao Wenrong dared not frequently visit him. Instead, he would only make visits during festivals or go to Renxin Hall to get familiar with his face.

If Lu Zheng moved to Tongxia Square, wouldn’t he be able to run into Lu Zheng more often?

After a few encounters, wouldn’t they get acquainted?

"No, just passing through," Lu Zheng shook his head.

How could one casually pass through Tongxia Square when it wasn’t in the city center?

Zhao Wenrong blinked, not daring to ask too much, but Lin Yushu saw a few chicken feathers poking out of the bag in Lu Zheng’s hand.

A flicker of concern passed through her eyes as she looked at Lu Zheng, "Young Master Lu, is there something wrong at the Wang Family?"

"Eh?" Lu Zheng looked at Lin Yushu, "You know something?"

"I, I..." Lin Yushu said timidly, "I’m best friends with Little Sister Xiaowan from the Wang Family, but since the holidays, I haven’t seen her appear again. Old Master Wang said she caught a cold and has been recuperating... I’ve just been a bit suspicious, but..."

Lu Zheng smiled at this, nodding, "Indeed, Miss Wang has fallen ill, but the matter has been resolved, it’s nothing serious."

"Really?" Lin Yushu’s eyes brightened.

"Really," Lu Zheng nodded.

Zhao Wenrong had a gossipy look, "Could it be a ghost encounter, a male ghost?"

"A male ghost, my foot!" Lu Zheng glared at Zhao Wenrong, "She’s way better than you, also, don’t pry into people’s privacy."

"Right, right!" What else could Zhao Wenrong say, of course, he had to admit defeat.

"Then I’ll go check on Little Sister Xiaowan." Lin Yushu bowed slightly to Lu Zheng, then pulled Zhao Wenrong along as they left.

Carrying his bags, Lu Zheng walked out of Tongxia Square, heading towards Tongyi Lane.

Along the way, he noticed the marketplace was much livelier compared to recent days, the streets filled with many traveling merchants and scholars.

Scholars...

Eh? It’s the time for the annual exams again, the county exam is about to begin.

"Brother Zhu..." Lu Zheng couldn’t help but look towards the direction of Yizhou Prefecture.

But recalling that Zhu Yushan and his wife had just recently attended his elixir evaluation gathering, and he’s been normally reading and reviewing lately. He wouldn’t be closing himself off for cultivation breakthroughs, nor would he be distracted by needing to assist with floods. Plus, he’s cultivated, invulnerable to illness, he should surely be able to make this year’s exams...right?

Fate is such a mysterious thing!

If things don’t work out this year, Lu Zheng decided next year to visit Zhu Yushan at the Lu River God’s Mansion, tagging along to see just how fate mistreats him.

...

On the way home, he passed by Renxin Hall’s entrance, coincidentally bumping into Liu Qingquan and Liu San who were just finished delivering meals to Renxin Hall and were preparing to head home.

"Eh? Brother-in-law!" Liu Qingquan sniffed, eyes shining, "Is this... chicken?"

Lu Zheng hoisted the bag in his hand, "Fresh and tender large rooster, just needs some prepping, to make a Thirteen Spiced Braised Chicken tonight."

"Great, great!" Liu Qingquan nodded his little head until it left a lingering shadow, even swallowing a mouthful.

"Lu Lang~"

"Brother Lu!"

Liu Qingyan and Du Yueyao saw Lu Zheng and came up to greet him.

At the same time, another middle-aged man carrying a bag of medicine walked out from the clinic.

The man wore a hemp garment, had a square face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. Though his temperament was ordinary, there was one special thing about him—he was extremely handsome!

In modern terms, he’d definitely have that dashing uncle vibe like from the screen.

"Thanks, Miss Du, I took those meds for five days, and my knee pain isn’t nearly as bad now," the middle-aged man said.

"No problem, keep taking this batch for five more days, and after five days I’ll give you another acupuncture treatment, with the last batch of medicine, the moisture should be thoroughly expelled," Du Yueyao replied politely.

"Alright! Alright!"

The middle-aged man nodded, taking the medicine as he left the clinic.

Lu Zheng watched him leave, blinking, and couldn’t help asking, "Who is this person..."

Liu Qingyan replied, "A patient?"

"Did you take his pulse?"

Liu Qingyan shook her head, "No, it was Yueyao who diagnosed him."

Lu Zheng looked at Du Yueyao, who nodded and said, "Both his legs have a bit of rheumatism, but it’s in the early stages, easily treatable."

"What’s up?" Liu Qingyan looked at the man’s back, "Is there something wrong with him?" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Liu Qingyan recalled how when dealing with the Primordial Saint Sect’s wizard back then, they had indeed diagnosed three different family forces in one day.

Could it be this time someone’s pretending to be a patient again?

But last time, they used ordinary people as substitutes for patients—this man came on his own. Could abnormal people get rheumatism?

"No, it’s just that this man, I’ve seen him in Leping Building listening to storytelling over the past few days." Lu Zheng thought and said, "Seems like I saw him at the cockfighting arena enjoying the spectacle too. I’ve never seen him before, is he new around here?"

"No clue, never asked," Liu Qingyan shook her head and said.

"Could he be here for the county exam?" Du Yueyao speculated, "Or a family member of a candidate?"

"Possibly..."

This person, having been around for so long just enjoying leisure without taking action, presumably posed no problem.

...

Chatting with the group for a bit, Lu Zheng and Liu Qingquan went home together.

Back at home, Lu Zheng personally set to work once more with the half-prepped rooster, chopping it up, marinating it, then preparing the braising sauce, finally slow-cooking it until ready for dinner.

In the evening, back at the Liu Family, the dish Lu Zheng brought to the table was a bowl of braised chicken.

"Is it tasty?"

"Delicious!"

"How is it? Quite good, right?"

"Woo woo woo... it’s so yummy!"

Even Madam Liu couldn’t resist tasting, "This chicken, could it have already been a spirit?"

Lu Zheng nodded, briefly describing his activities from the past few days.

"Hehe, it’s like listening to a story," Liu Qingquan blinked her big eyes, then nibbled on a chicken wing, "So it really is a chicken spirit, no wonder it’s so tasty!"

Liu Qingyan also shook her head with a wry smile, "A calculated chicken spirit as well, what a pity."

Too bad it met the wrong person, too bad it miscalculated, too bad it died before its endeavor could begin.

"As for Miss Wang, it seems she’s talented. Shouldn’t Lu Lang recommend her to the White Cloud Temple? From what you’ve said, her divine soul is strong, probably suitable for the Jinhua Sect, right?" Liu Qingyan asked.

"Indeed!" Lu Zheng nodded.

"Then why..."

"Such promising talent deserves to be recommended to one’s own sect first." Lu Zheng matter-of-factly said, "It’s not as if she lacks qi refining talent, with scattered cultivation technique fragments she’s already become a novice. She’s certainly gifted, so naturally one prioritizes one’s own."

Meanwhile, on the side, Du Yueyao who was eating with her head down, nearly wanted to cry.

Du Yueyao: (´╥ω╥`)

So it turns out I’m the one with the worst aptitude, unable to cultivate anything...
