Chapter 238 Departure
A day passed after that. During that day, Chu Lu was busy collecting various precious materials and casting spells to refine props. He looked like he was really preparing a killer trump card.

This made Shen Miaomiao, who was secretly monitoring her, extremely confused.

In addition, surveillance itself is very energy-consuming, and it is also necessary to avoid being discovered, so Shen Miaomiao gradually wants to give up. But at this moment, Chu Lu suddenly put down his work and looked around for the traces of the affectionate male second Mu Bei.

Shen Miaomiao was startled at once, and perked up, starting to monitor carefully again.

When Chu Lu passed the backyard, he finally found Mu Bei's figure. The latter was standing in the pavilion, looking into the distance with a distant gaze, as if he was thinking about something.

Chu Lu's eyes lit up and he walked forward, smiled slightly and said, "Brother Mu, what are you thinking about here alone?"

Mu Bei came back to his senses and saw that it was Chu Lu. He also smiled gently: "Master Liaokong, is there anything wrong?"

Chu Lu walked up to him and asked casually, "It's nothing serious. I just chatted with Shen Miaomiao yesterday. I heard that she has a close relationship with you, so I wanted to ask."

A hint of surprise flashed across Mu Bei's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said calmly, "The relationship between Miao Miao and me is quite complicated, and it's hard to explain in a few words. If I have to explain, we are good friends. She has a strong character and a kind heart, but her fate has been unfortunate and she has suffered a lot. I am really worried about her, so I have been by her side all the time to help her overcome the difficulties."

Chu Lu nodded and deliberately looked puzzled: "I see, that's strange. She mentioned the matter of the national teacher to me yesterday and tried her best to persuade me to deal with him. She also held my hand and said that as long as I agreed, she would definitely compensate me well. Why didn't she ask you for help? After all, you are not weak, and you are someone she trusts."

Mu Bei frowned suddenly, his eyes full of surprise and anger, his originally gentle face suddenly changed, he said in an extremely stiff tone: "Miao Miao chose to let you deal with the national teacher, of course she has her reasons. Although I have a close relationship with her, it does not mean that I don't respect her ideas."

Chu Lu pretended to be surprised, then asked proudly and provocatively: "Oh? Do you think she did this because she trusts me more? Or does she think I am stronger than you?"

Mu Bei finally couldn't help it, and said with a frosty face: "Master, what do you mean by this?"

Chu Lu smiled and said, "Brother Mu, don't get me wrong, I just didn't understand it for the moment. After all, you and she have been through so much, it stands to reason that she should trust you more. But it's also true, after all, I saved her family, it's normal for her to trust me more."

Mu Bei's expression became even uglier, but he still suppressed his dissatisfaction and said coldly: "Master, if you have nothing else to say, I will take my leave first."

"Haha, no, no, no. I'm leaving, I'm leaving. You just continue to stare here. I'm going to prepare to destroy the national teacher's army in a few days." Chu Lu patted Mu Bei's shoulder, turned around and left with a smug look on his face.

After Chu Lu left, Shen Miaomiao, who was hiding in the dark and watching, looked more and more strange.

She couldn't help but think: Could it be that Chu Lu stayed for two days specifically for this?
The more Shen Miaomiao thought about it, the weirder it seemed, but she couldn't think of any other reason, so she opened the chat group with a subtle expression and told Zi Yan about it somewhat awkwardly.

After hearing this, Zi Yan was stunned at first, then the corners of his mouth kept rising, and finally he burst into laughter.

“Hahahahaha!” She laughed extremely wildly, her face full of sarcasm, “Hahahahaha!”

She laughed for a long time before she stopped. The irony on her face was as thick as a pot of thick soup that had been simmering for many days. She said sarcastically, "Shen Miaomiao, Shen Miaomiao, I was almost fooled by you. I believed your nonsense and really thought he was preparing some big conspiracy. It turned out that he stayed for two days just to compete with the male supporting actor. Hahahaha! I laughed to death!"

Shen Miaomiao was also deeply embarrassed and could only smile along.

Zi Yan continued, "See? This is the male protagonist. He just saved your family's lives, so you should be grateful, fall in love with him, and he should be your only man. But when he found out that there was Mu Bei by your side, he got anxious and started using such low-level tactics."

"The team leader is right." Shen Miaomiao didn't agree with him in her heart, but she didn't dare to refute him without any basis in front of Zi Yan. She could only bow her head and admit her mistake, "I lack knowledge."

"Okay, now that the matter has been clarified, you don't need to monitor him anymore, lest you reveal your tracks and arouse his suspicion. Just wait patiently until tomorrow and let him set off." Zi Yan ordered again.

"Yes."

The next day, it was time to set off.

In the early morning, Chu Lu stood outside the City Lord's Mansion with a calm expression. Shen Miaomiao, Mu Bei and others stood in front of him to see him off.

"Sir, this operation is very dangerous, you must be careful." Shen Miaomiao stepped forward and spoke with concern. Chu Lu smiled slightly and nodded: "Don't worry, I will pay attention."

Mu Bei also stepped forward, his expression still a little stiff: "Master, although there are some misunderstandings between us, this operation concerns everyone's life. I sincerely hope that you can return victorious."

Chu Lu glanced at Mu Bei, revealed a subtle smile and said, "Of course, I won't let Miao Miao down."

Then he ignored Mu Bei, who had an angry look in his eyes, and turned around to leave.

At this time, Zi Yan followed silently, as if it was a matter of course.

Seeing this, Chu Lu stopped and said, "What are you doing?"

"I'll go with you." Zi Yan said.

Chu Lu frowned and said, "This operation is too dangerous. It's better for you to stay here."

A hint of surprise flashed across Zi Yan's face. Obviously, she didn't expect Chu Lu to refuse.

She immediately pleaded softly, "How can it be dangerous? We have been traveling together since we first met. I have long understood that it is safest to be with you, Master. Please, take me with you. I will not be a burden to you."

Chu Lu shook his head, his tone a little impatient: "No, this operation involves the army of the national teacher. How can we let you mess around with such a big thing? Just stay here honestly!"

After saying that, Chu Lu turned around and left, no longer paying attention to Zi Yan.

Zi Yan suddenly looked lost and unwilling, as if she was a resentful woman who had been abandoned.

However, after everyone dispersed and Zi Yan returned to her bedroom, her face instantly fell and became extremely gloomy.

At this time Shen Miaomiao walked in.

Zi Yan glanced at her and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Team leader, I'm here to discuss something with you. Don't you think the group leader was weird just now? Why didn't he let you go?" Shen Miaomiao frowned, a little worried, "With his strength, there is no such thing as 'too dangerous'. He deliberately didn't let you go, has he seen something?"

Zi Yan sneered upon hearing this, with a threatening look on his face: "Are you trying to say that I have exposed my true colors? He has seen through my identity? Shen Miaomiao, you are so bold. I only gave you one chance, but you are going to push your luck and push your luck? Have you forgotten who you are!?"

Shen Miaomiao was startled and quickly shook her head to explain: "No, no, of course I didn't mean that. I'm just weird."

"Humph, what's so strange about that?" Zi Yan said disdainfully: "He just wants to distance himself from me so as not to interfere with your strategy. I can tell what he is thinking at a glance."

"Really?" Shen Miaomiao seemed a little hesitant, "But I always feel like he doesn't care about me very much, doesn't seem to care about me that much..."

"After all, he is the protagonist of the male channel. Do you still expect him to be as loving and caring as the male supporting role in the female channel next to you? Really... I don't want to waste time talking to a fool like you. Anyway, just follow him and see for yourself." Zi Yan said contemptuously.

"Huh? Team leader, are we going to follow them secretly?" Shen Miaomiao asked in surprise.

"Isn't this nonsense? I have to monitor him all the time on normal days, not to mention at this critical moment. How could I let him leave from under my nose? Just because he told me not to go? Ha! Don't be stupid." After saying that, Zi Yan looked at Shen Miaomiao and said, "But it's not us, it's me and Mo Nian. You just stay here and rely on the chat group to understand the situation."

"Oh……"
