Chapter 1041: Not a Loss

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

This was Lu Yu’er’s voice.

Lin Tianfeng looked up and saw Lu Yu’er hurrying over from outside the courtyard, and anxiety filled her face.

When she walked to the yard, she was stopped by the pageboy as expected. “Madam, please stay here.”

Lu Yu’er’s originally anxious mood became even more terrible as she was stopped. I’m the Lin family’s mistress, yet I don’t even have the right to enter this small courtyard! All these years, I haven’t stepped foot into this place—only because Lin Zhifei stayed here!

The entire Lin family couldn’t casually enter this place, and even Lin Tianfeng had to send people to report his presence. However, the rest of the Lin family’s people had entered more or less, but she was never approved—not even once!

Who in the entire Lin family didn’t know that Lin Zhifei looked down on her as a stepmother?! Even if she had already become the Lin family’s mistress, he still didn’t care about her!

But no matter how much hatred she felt, Lu Yu’er wouldn’t show it in front of these people. Hence, she obediently stood outside and gazed inside anxiously.

Very quickly, Lin Tianfeng walked over. “What’s wrong? What’s so urgent?”

While Lin Tianfeng walked over, he pulled Lu Yu’er to the side.

Lu Yu’er was angered, but she didn’t show it as she anxiously grabbed Lin Tianfeng’s arm and said with tears in her eyes, “Master, I rarely ever beg you, but this time… I really don’t have any other way…”

She cried miserably, and Lin Tianfeng’s heart ached when he saw this scene. “Don’t cry first. What exactly is going on? I’ll definitely do you justice!”

Lu Yu’er then wiped her tears and said discontinuously, “It’s about Lu Yi…”

Once Lin Tianfeng heard this name, annoyance flashed across his face.

“He has really been bullied badly this time!” complained Lu Yu’er.

Lin Tianfeng nonchalantly said, “He has always been the one bullying others. Who could ever bully him?”

Lu Yu’er knew that Lin Tianfeng never liked Lu Yi, so every time her brother caused trouble, she would try to suppress the news and not let him know about it. However, this time was different!

“Master, you might not know, but Lu Yi’s subordinates have been beaten up until only half their lives are left. All their limbs are broken as well! They were stuffed into a box and sent to Lu Yi! If this isn’t a threat, what is this?”

“Really?” Lin Tianfeng’s expression changed slightly. There aren’t many people who dare to do this in the entire Grotto-Heaven Cliff…

“Why would I lie to you? When he came over just now, there was still blood on his clothes…” Vengeance flashed across Lu Yu’er’s eyes.

She really hated the person who did this to Lu Yi in the dark! So this time, she complained to Lin Tianfeng for once.

Things had already ended up in this state. If she couldn’t stand up for Lu Yi, then many people in Grotto-Heaven Cliff would mock him in the future!

Lin Tianfeng knitted his brows tightly. “Do you know who did it?”

Lu Yu’er was dazed for a moment and hurriedly said, “I-I haven’t had the chance to ask yet. However, the person who dared to do this in Grotto-Heaven Cliff mustn’t be simple! From what I see, perhaps… the person might be targeting the Lin family…”

Even though Lu Yi wasn’t part of the Lin family, everyone knew that he was related to them. If one dared to attack him so harshly, they clearly didn’t care about the Lin family!

Being unreasonable in the Lin family’s territory was just challenging them!

Upon hearing this, Lin Tianfeng knitted his brows.

“Master, should I ask Lu Yi to come over and let him personally explain to you?” Lu Yu’er tried to ask.

Lin Tianfeng thought for a moment, turned around to look, and shook his head. “Not today.”

“Why?”

“I have something to do today. Tell him to come tomorrow.” Even though Lu Yi’s matter isn’t minor, its’ not as urgent as the pill for Zhifei. Dugu Yue had said that she needed my help to guard her, so I definitely can’t go back on my words. If not, who can be responsible if something happens?

Upon hearing Lin Tianfeng say this, Lu Yu’er almost instantly guessed what it was. Then, she instinctively looked in. “Y-you’re going to be busy with Zhifei’s things?”

Lin Tianfeng didn’t hear the abnormality in her voice as he nodded. “You should go back first. He just needs to wait for a day. Tomorrow, bring Lu Yi over at this time.”

Then, he turned around and planned to enter.

“Master—” yelled Lu Yu’er indignantly.

Lin Tianfeng glanced at her and thought for a moment. “Why don’t you send someone to investigate and find out what’s going on first? I’ll handle this tomorrow.”

Then, he didn’t care about Lu Yu’er as he walked straight in.

Looking at his gradually leaving back view, Lu Yu’er slowly clenched her fists. Her intricately manicured nails dug deep into her palms, and it hurt her.

She instantly woke up as she took a deep breath in and turned around to leave.

…

“What? He refuses to see me?” Hearing his elder sister’s words, Lu Yi instantly jumped up from his chair. “I’ve been trampled all over, yet he doesn’t care?! Even if it’s not for me, he should care about the Lin family’s reputation, right?!”

“Why are you yelling!?”Lu Yu’er was also very frustrated as she scolded him. “You’re not his biological son, so of course, he wouldn’t care about you! A heavenly doctor came these two days, and she said that she could treat Lin Zhifei… Of course, he’s very concerned about that!”

Lu Yi couldn’t help but chuckle. “All these years, how many heavenly doctors have come? He actually still hasn’t given up… Hah! That Lin Zhifei is just waiting for death! Perhaps when he goes over this time, on the road, he’ll just—”

Lu Yu’er glared at him in warning. “Even though this is my residence, this is the Lin family after all! Watch your words! If you have time, why don’t you tell me in detail who is so bold to do this!?”

However, Lu Yi felt slightly guilty. At the end of the day, I’m the one who wants to s.n.a.t.c.h the other party’s items. Previously, Lu Yu’er had repeatedly reminded me not to be so open about my doings. If she knows…

“I-I’m not too sure either… The other party didn’t leave any clues…” He looked down and spoke in a blur.

Lu Yu’er was extremely frustrated. “Useless! We’ll just wait then!”

When the Lin family investigated, it would naturally be much easier.

Even though Lu Yi felt indignant, he didn’t dare to say anything else and could only agree.

…

Within the room.

Chu Liuyue first set up a barrier in the surroundings. After confirming that the aura and the side effects wouldn’t travel outside, she summoned the Heavenly Square Cauldron.

“You really want to use this thing?” Dugu Mobao stared at the transparent cauldron, and his gaze flickered slightly.

“I depend on this greatly now.” Chu Liuyue shrugged her shoulders. “If not, I wouldn’t have the confidence to form the pill directly in one try.”

“You really can bear it.” Dugu Mobao was quiet for a moment. Lin Zhifei is very lucky to have Chu Liuyue use the Heavenly Square Cauldron to produce a pill for him.

Chu Liuyue’s lips curled up.. “It’s not a loss if I can use this pill to exchange for a chance to partic.i.p.ate in His Grace’s birthday banquet.”
