I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 720 Lin Wan Working Overtime
Back in Tonglin County, Daoist Mingzhang and Daoist Yuting returned to the mountain, while Lu Zheng went home.
Just upon arriving home, he saw Liu Qingyan lightly fly over the wall.
"Lu Lang, did you go to Shaotong Mountain?"
"How did you know?"
"My mother told me. She said she saw the paper crane of White Cloud Temple hovering over your house."
Liu Qingyan came to Lu Zheng's side and asked with concern, "Is something wrong with your sect, Lu Lang?"
In Liu Qingyan's view, Daoist Mingzhang was already a very skilled master, yet he used a paper crane to summon Lu Zheng, so there must be something important.
She was a bit worried all afternoon, and when Lu Zheng didn't return by night, her worry grew, making her unable to sleep.
Now, seeing Lu Zheng return, she couldn't help but fly over to express her concern and ask questions.
"Nothing, nothing at all!" Lu Zheng reached out to embrace Liu Qingyan and replied with a smile, "Daoist Yuting came back, and my master couldn't beat him at chess and called me to step in."
Hearing this, Liu Qingyan let out a sigh of relief and couldn't help but laugh, "I see, Qingyan was just worrying too much."
However, thinking it over, Liu Qingyan felt something was off and curiously asked, "You played chess until the ugly hour?"
Lu Zheng blinked. It seemed like the fox spirit was not easily fooled.
Liu Qingyan blinked, her eyes misting over, and she didn't ask further. Instead, she caringly said to Lu Zheng, "It's a bit late now, let me prepare water for you to wash up, Lu Lang, you've been tired all day, rest early."
Lu Zheng grinned, reaching out to stroke Liu Qingyan's beautiful hair, "Don't worry, even if your husband can't defeat the enemy, can he not escape?"
To be honest, not to boast, but looking at the Dao practice of Ao Jin Dragon King and Zen Master Dejie, even if such masters attacked your husband, your husband could still get away unscathed."
Liu Qingyan's eyes curved into crescent-like arcs, smilingly replying, "You braggart, Zen Master Dejie has practiced for hundreds of years, and the Jade Dragon King is a True Dragon King, capturing you would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?"
Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows, lifting his head with a grin, "Just wait and see!"
"No!" Liu Qingyan hurriedly said, "Qingyan doesn't want to see!"
Lu Zheng joked around, and Liu Qingyan also smiled heartily.
They went to the bedroom, where Liu Qingyan fetched water from the backyard, heated it with True Qi, and attended to Lu Zheng's washing up and changing of clothes.
Lu Zheng took the chance to talk about what happened that night.
"So it was a disciple of White Cloud Temple who was attacked, that Ghost King is that formidable?"
"Indeed strong, his Split Soul Incarnations have over three hundred years of Dao practice, likely a thousand-year-old Ghost King," Lu Zheng said, "But fortunately, he didn't kill Senior Brother Yuan Ye, and he dared not linger in Dingshan County and has fled."
White Cloud Temple is a major Daoist sect, not eliminating the enemy, but instead revealing itself, naturally, they would flee.
Liu Qingyan, seeing Lu Zheng finished washing, picked up the already wrung towel and helped Lu Zheng wipe his face.
"But you destroyed a Split Soul Incarnation of his at the foot of Shaotong Mountain, won't he seek revenge?" Liu Qingyan asked while wiping, worried that the ghost would find another chance to strike.
"If he comes, it'll be perfect, we'll settle it once and for all," Lu Zheng said, eyes fixed on the close-up Liu Qingyan, "Old Yue, Ying'Er, and you, everyone surround him."
Liu Qingyan giggled, "No wonder sister always says you lack martial virtue."
Lu Zheng laughed heartily, casually tossing the towel, which lightly landed on the basin rack not far away.
Grasping Liu Qingyan's hand, Lu Zheng leaned in and whispered in her ear, "I've freshened up, it's time to rest."
Liu Qingyan's jade face turned pink, her eyes watery as she gazed at Lu Zheng, lightly biting her lip, a faint fragrance emanating from her body.
Lu Zheng smiled and gently kissed Liu Qingyan's smooth cheek.
Liu Qingyan's body immediately softened, almost reaching the bedside with Lu Zheng's support.
"Lu Lang~~~"
...
Early the next day, after seeing off Liu Qingyan, Lu Zheng flew to Shaotong Mountain.
"How is Senior Brother Yuan Ye?"
"Thanks to Junior Brother's concern, Senior Brother is already not in much trouble."
Yuan Ye's voice rang out, and then the side room door was pushed open, Yuan Ye was already dressed and stepped out.
"Senior Brother."
Yuan Ye nodded, "Master Uncle, Junior Brother, and Daoist Yuting."
Daoist Mingzhang stepped forward and took Yuan Ye's pulse, "Still fine, just external injuries, didn't harm the Dantian and Sea of Consciousness. Rest for a month, and you'll probably recover."
Yuan Ye said, "By then, it would be just right to have Master Uncle bring me back to the mountain."
Daoist Mingzhang nodded, silently.
Yuan Ye looked around, his heart sinking, and hesitantly asked, "Could it be..."
Lu Zheng took the task and explained the situation from last night.
Yuan Ye's eyes sharpened, mood gloomy, "So, it's because of me that she was harmed."
Daoist Yuting comforted, "What does that have to do with you? Without you, that woman would have lived just two more days at most, it's still the Ghost that deserves to die!"
Yuan Ye nodded, sighed, and remained silent, realizing that the task of exorcising demons does not always end perfectly.
Daoist Mingzhang patted Yuan Ye's shoulder, "Rest assured, Master Uncle has his eyes on it. He'll keep an eye on the surrounding counties, and if it dares show itself again, it will definitely meet its end!"
Daoist Yuting rolled his eyes, "Can you defeat that ghost's true form?"
Daoist Mingzhang glanced at Lu Zheng, laughed with disdain, "The old Dao has White Cloud Temple backing him, unlike you, a lone ranger. Once we find it, we'll directly call people from White Cloud Temple. I want to see what lets him attack White Cloud Temple's disciples!"
Daoist Yuting, "..."
Lu Zheng was also speechless, wondering why Master glanced at him before saying that?
...
After staying half a day longer at Shaotong Mountain, Lu Zheng bid farewell and left, clearing his mind before crossing into modern times.
...
"Off work yet? Should I come pick you up?" Lu Zheng dialed Lin Wan's number.
"What? Working overtime?"
Lu Zheng asked, utterly baffled, "Didn't you say you've been quite free recently?"
On the phone, Lin Wan's laughter carried a hint of mischief, "I am quite free, but I thought it's not good to stay idle, so I work some overtime when there's nothing to do, digging into some stuff."
Lu Zheng instinctively asked, "What stuff are you digging into?"
"It's a secret!" Lin Wan laughed, "I'll tell you when I find something."
"But since you're back, I'm getting ready to clock out. When can you arrive? Should I wait for you at the parking lot, or at the office entrance?"
"I'm at the community entrance, about to ride a bike over." Lu Zheng, with his Bluetooth headset on, said while unlocking a shared bike, "It'll probably take about half an hour."
Lin Wan laughed, "Can't you just 'whoosh' over here?"
"There're surveillance cameras everywhere. Careless exposure is just a moment away." Lu Zheng raised his head and spotted an adorably cute black camera atop a store's awning.
"These days, technology is so unfriendly to the extraordinary."
Lin Wan's laughter came through the phone, "That's unfriendly to Spider-Man, Iron Man wouldn't mind."
Lu Zheng shrugged, mounted the bike, and pedaled hard, causing the shared bike to whoosh forward.
...
Seven in the evening, at the Zha Jiang Noodles Restaurant.
This noodle house not only had the Northern Capital's special Zha Jiang Mian but also Lu Province's special pancakes.
Both Lu Zheng and Lin Wan rolled up a special pancake, including eggs, sweet noodle sauce, scallions, and meat, accompanied by a variety of other side dishes.
Just no green onion.
"So...what are you investigating?"
Just as Lu Zheng finished speaking, his phone rang.
Lu Zheng casually answered, and an awkwardly spoken Chinese greeted him, "Lu! We came to Hua Country to find you for fun, we're in Hai City."
