Chapter 151: Fairy Chu's complicated life story
The afternoon breeze blew in with the fragrance of lotus. The green gauze curtain fluttered like a young girl singing and dancing. Ramadan's eyes gradually became dull, and the colorful world turned into black and white.
"Click—"
Lu Zhan moved his wrist slightly, and a crisp sound was heard.
Ramadan's head tilted limply, his small eyes filled with despair and unwillingness.
A wisp of transparent air was drawn out from Lu Zhan's body, and this wisp of air slowly condensed into the shape of Ramadan, which was her soul.
Since she was willing to "be an accomplice to the evil", at the moment of her death, her soul was restricted by the method of refining evil spirits and was firmly controlled by Lu Zhan.
That seemingly charming body became an empty shell.
Lu Zhan bent down and picked up the laurel bell on her waist. The laurel bell was very delicate and beautiful. The many puppets that had been hidden in it also disappeared at this moment.
He stuffed Ramadan’s soul into the bell and threw it into the spiritual ring.
It takes time to refine a ghost. If you want the ghost to become more vicious, you need to nourish it with blood and energy every day. After seven days of nourishment, you can refine it again and it will become more ferocious.
The more vicious the ghost, the more hideous its face. Lu Zhan doesn't care about the appearance. He is just looking for a tool. He only wants the ghost to be cruel, complete some secret tasks for him, and become a pawn in his supreme ghost den.
Besides, when ghosts harm people, how many of them rely on their real appearance?
Thinking of this, Lu Zhan glanced at Ramadhan's body and took out the black water bead from his spirit ring.
Driven by the true Qi, the black water bead slowly rotated, and a ray of scarlet was drawn out from Ramadan's body. The color of the black water bead became bright red and dazzling, and it could automatically absorb his blood without Lu Zhan's control.
Only after all the blood from the corpse was sucked dry did the beads return to their original black color. Ramadan's blood slowly flowed inside the beads, which was quite magical.
"It is reasonable to use her blood to nourish her soul..."
Lu Zhan did not think that he was cruel. He would never show mercy to his enemies.
What's more, since they have been killed, it is reasonable to squeeze out every last drop of value.
After doing all this, Lu Zhan walked out the door and shouted, "Call Aunt Hua for me!"
Not long after, Auntie Hua came over tremblingly. Seeing Lu Zhan's grim expression, she couldn't help but ask, "Sir, is it because Xiuyu didn't serve you well?"
Lu Zhan narrowed his eyes: "You call her Xiu Yu?"
Aunt Hua had been in the underworld for many years, and when she heard this, she realized something was wrong. She swallowed her saliva and said, "My lord, what's wrong?"
Lu Zhan didn't say anything, but just pulled her wrist and led her into the house. When she saw Ramadan's body, the charming brothel owner trembled all over.
Seeing her like this, Lu Zhan did not deliberately scare her, but told her Ramadan's identity.
"My Lord, I really didn't know she was a witch..."
Aunt Hua was horrified. She really didn't know Ramadhan's identity. If she knew she was a witch, she would definitely not let her stay. She was not stupid.
Lu Zhan looked at her coldly: "Of course I know that Hua Manlou is doing business honestly, and I also know how good Aunt Hua is to me. I am not a person who does not remember the old friendship, so I will not make this matter public."
The Demon Suppression Division knew Hua Manlou's background very well. They relied on officials, not the immortal sect or the Hehuan Sect. This time, Ramadan just took advantage of them.
As for why he didn't make it public, Lu Zhan wanted to use Ramadan as a weapon, so naturally the fewer people who knew about it the better, and it would be best if everyone thought Ramadan was still alive.
As Hua Manlou is a service industry, they are naturally afraid that such things will spread. Once people know that there is a witch causing trouble, who will come here to consume?
For those working in brothels, it is very common to see a prostitute die. They handle this kind of thing even more secretly than the Demon Suppression Bureau. Lu Zhan does not want the Demon Suppression Bureau to intervene, otherwise it will definitely attract attention.
"Thank you, sir!"
Aunt Hua turned into an honest person and bowed deeply to Lu Zhan on the spot.
Lu Zhan said calmly, "The fewer people who know about this, the better. Otherwise, even if I want to help you cover it up, someone else will spread it."
"Please rest assured, sir. We will handle it properly and will not let this matter have anything to do with you," Aunt Hua said quickly.
She naturally didn't believe that Lu Zhan was really doing this for Hua Manlou's own good, but it didn't matter whether she believed it or not, as long as the ending was in her favor.
Hua Manlou is her hard work, so she naturally cannot let such things affect the flow of customers.
Seeing her sincerity, Lu Zhan smiled, helped her up, and said in a gentle tone: "Auntie Hua is such a caring person. Have you eaten?"
"Ah?" Aunt Hua was stunned at his change of attitude.
Lu Zhan laughed, turned around and walked out of Hua Manlou.
...
The warm breeze blows and the willow branches sway gently.
Lu Zhan faced He Xiang and led his team towards the Demon Suppression Bureau. The demon suppressors thought he was just "routinely checking the brothel's business" and did not ask any further questions.
Lu Zhan was in a good mood, feeling relieved. At least he didn't have to worry about the witch from the Hehuan Sect anymore.
I have to say that Wei Zhao's dinner was a great treat.
If it were anyone else, it would be difficult for the killer to sneak in. A veteran like Xie Chunyan could tell at a glance that the woman's skin was too delicate and she was not cut out for the job.
But Wei Zhao was devoted to martial arts and had always been dismissive of women. He was a very honest and sincere man, which was why he gave the other party this opportunity.
And it was because of this opportunity that he was able to capture the witch from the Hehuan Sect.
"I still have to thank my uncle..."
The cause and effect relationship are indispensable. Now that the evil woman of the Hehuan Sect has been dealt with, the only thing left is the matter between the Qi Jue Sect and the Black Water Sect.
There is no need to rush the matter of Qi Jue Men. It is normal for a killer to be killed in return. Today he is an enemy, but tomorrow he can become Qi Jue Men's top customer by spending some money.
As for the Black Water Sect...he needs to start with Xu Zeli.
While thinking, he had already arrived at the gate of the Demon Suppression Bureau.
As soon as Lu Zhan entered, he saw Zhuge Chen coming towards him.
Zhuge Chen's face was excited, and he asked immediately, "Brother Lu, so soon?"
Lu Zhan's face darkened: "I'm on duty, don't talk nonsense."
"Hehe, just kidding." Zhuge Chen looked around, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "Brother Lu, I didn't expect you to attack Wei Zhao and knock him away with one punch. You didn't give Director Chu any face at all!"
After Zhuge Chen heard about this, he was very sad. If he had known this earlier, he would not have gone to Huamanlou to eliminate the monster, causing him to miss the big show.
Lu Zhan looked at him warily: "I didn't give Director Chu any face. It was Wei Zhao who took the initiative to provoke me."
Zhuge Chen blinked, "I know that now there are rumors that you hooked up with the eldest lady. When Wei Zhao learned that his sister was hooked up with a playboy, he was immediately furious and came to provoke without saying a word. But you didn't give face to your brother-in-law at all. You slapped him away with one slap. In order to humiliate him, you even specially treated his wounds, and beat him up again after he recovered."
Lu Zhan's face turned green with stupidity. In the morning, everyone said that he was a kind person. How long has it been since he passed down this kind of shit?
"What about Xie Chunyan? How did you get to him?"
"Xie Chunyan stood up for his brother and showed no regrets even when he was severely injured by Wei Zhao. He is truly a hero in the martial arts world."
Lu Zhan showed a grin, patted Zhuge Chen on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Who is spreading these rumors?"
"Many people are saying..." Zhuge Chen blinked: "Brother Lu, so what exactly is going on?"
Lu Zhan's smile was stiff but not without anger. "Of course it was Wei Zhao who was looking for trouble for no reason. I had to take action against him, but I didn't want to hurt the relationship between my colleagues, so I saved him. How did I know that he had a relationship with Director Chu? And he even brought the eldest lady into the mix. What a fucking rumor."
Zhuge Chen was dumbfounded, and after a long while he said blankly: "Brother Lu, this is the first time I see you being so vulgar."
Lu Zhan sneered: "Rumors can cause great harm to people. Even a person as well-mannered as me can't help but curse."
Now that things have come to this, Lu Zhan has finally realized that his reputation will be difficult to save for the time being. Fortunately, Wei Zhao is convinced of him, and he believes that Director Chu will not make things difficult for him because of this matter.
"But how is Wei Zhao related to the young lady?" Lu Zhan pretended not to know and asked, "I haven't heard her mention Wei Zhao."
"This is because the eldest lady hates her brother Wei Zhao."
Lu Zhan pretended to listen.
"Brother Lu is Chun Ge's colleague, don't you know about this?" Zhuge Chen looked at Lu Zhan suspiciously, his eyes full of disbelief, but he still explained: "Actually, the matter is like this... I just heard it from others, I can't guarantee its authenticity, Brother Lu, just listen for fun..."
After Zhuge Chen stacked several buffs, he said, “Because the reason why the eldest lady’s mother died was strictly speaking related to Wei Zhao’s mother.
"Huh?!" Lu Zhan showed a curious expression. This time he was not pretending, he was really curious.
I've known for a long time that Chu Wantang and Director Chu have a bad relationship, but I still don't know the reason.
Zhuge Chen pulled Lu Zhan into the house, and after making sure that no one was around, he whispered, "The eldest lady's mother's surname was Qin, and she was a daughter of the Qin family. She married the director. It was said that the eldest lady was born after ten years of marriage, but on the night before the birth, Mrs. Qin suddenly learned that the director had a son..."
"It turned out that after he married Madam Qin, the director drank too much one day and saw the beautiful maid in the yard, so he couldn't help himself..."
"Later, the maid became pregnant. The director felt that the child was his own flesh and blood after all, and he couldn't bear to abandon her. So he quietly arranged for the maid to be raised somewhere else. The child is now Wei Zhao."
"I thought this was done perfectly, but who knew that Madam Qin found out before she gave birth, and she became so angry that she went crazy. In the end, only the eldest daughter was born prematurely, and Madam Qin passed away."
"At that time, the director knelt at the gate of the Qin family for two days and two nights to atone for his sins. Because of his official position, he was not beaten to death by the Qin family."
"It is said that the director left something at the Qin family and promised never to marry, and was then let go. He was then demoted from Bianjing to Jinling."
"Originally, the Qin family wanted to raise the eldest daughter, but the director vowed to never let them, so the eldest daughter followed them to Jinling... But the Qin family's bloodline is really strong, and the eldest daughter rose to prominence at a young age and became the disciple of the chief director."
Lu Zhan suddenly realized and finally figured out the reason. He had originally thought that Wei Zhao was born before Director Chu got married, but he didn't expect that he was the child of Director Chu and his maid after he got married to Madam Qin.
No wonder Wei Zhao is an illegitimate child, but he is older than Chu Wantang.
As a man, Lu Zhan felt that Director Chu's behavior was not very kind. How many men could behave properly when they were drunk?
It's fine to have sex with the maid, but you should also be careful about the limits.
Although polygamy was normal in the Zhou Dynasty, the main wife still had to maintain her dignity, especially since the other party was marrying down from her parents' family.
Marrying down... Lu Zhan sighed for a while, then suddenly realized the problem and asked again: "Qin family? Which Qin family?"
There are many noble families with the surname Qin in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although everyone pays close attention to Chu Wantang, they rarely mention her maternal family. Lu Zhan doesn't know which one it is.
Zhuge Chen lowered his voice and said, "It's the largest Qin family."
Lu Zhan's pupils trembled. "The Qin family is one of the four great families in the world? No wonder Chu Wantang is so successful in Bianjing and has been able to gain a foothold."
The Qin family is the head of the four major families in the Great Zhou. It is said that because they carry the blood of the ancient divine phoenix, all the children in their family are outstanding.
No wonder Chu Wantang made rapid progress after reaching the Xuanmiao realm.
For cultivators with average talent, entering the mysterious realm may not be difficult, but after entering it is like entering a swamp, and there is a high probability of being trapped to death.
But for those who are gifted and have special bloodlines, entering the mysterious realm is like a fish in water.
The mysterious realm is originally equivalent to nirvana, and the phoenix will be reborn from the ashes after nirvana... Xiao Chu's fortune has just begun.
But what made Lu Zhan feel strange was that since Madam Qin was a gifted girl with extraordinary talent, why would she fall for Director Chu?
Maybe this is love... just like there is always an ugly guy next to a beautiful girl.
Zhuge Chen sighed and said, “Although Old Master Qin has many sons, he only has one daughter, Madam Qin, and she has been spoiled since she was a child.”
"Mrs. Qin was also very hardworking, very talented, and gentle in character. She was not as domineering as other young ladies from aristocratic families. It's a pity that she died at such a young age. The Qin family naturally values her only child."
"But as far as I know, the eldest daughter was not sent to be a disciple of the Grand Master at the beginning. It seems that she was sent to a temple in Bianjing... The Qin family didn't care about her at that time, fearing that she would be spoiled by Director Chu. Later, they found that the eldest daughter had a good character and remembered her mother's kindness, so they paid attention to her."
"But don't let this be spread to others... As far as I know, eight hundred years ago, a branch of the Qin family severed ties with the main line due to differences in cultivation, and then came to Jinling... So almost no one in Jinling dares to talk about the eldest lady's mother's family."
Lu Zhan's eyes changed when he looked at Zhuge Chen. He was indeed Director Chu's favorite general and knew a lot.
No wonder no one in Jinling dared to talk about Chu Wantang's maternal family. It turned out that there was a branch of the Qin family in charge. That was a branch of a big family, so who would dare to gossip about them?
Lu Zhan had a good relationship with Chu Wantang, but he never asked about her background. After all, it was a very offensive topic, so he didn't know that her mother's family was so powerful.
“But… since we are not allowed to discuss it, how dare Brother Zhuge tell me?” Lu Zhan looked at him with a smile.
Zhuge Chen looked towards the study and said, "It's just a casual chat after dinner. It's good for Brother Lu to know."
Lu Zhan narrowed his eyes. Zhuge Chen's words didn't sound like anything important, but the hint in his eyes was very obvious. It was Director Chu who gave the instruction.
But why did Director Chu let Zhuge Chen tell him? Was it to test him, or for some other reason?
Lu Zhan was a little confused about what his boss meant.
"Everyone is saying that whoever can marry into the eldest daughter's family will be supported by the Chu family, the Grand Master, and the Qin family, and his future will be limitless." Zhuge Chen looked at Lu Zhan and said with a smile: "Brother Lu, will it be you?"
Lu Zhan didn't understand his boss's thinking, so he could only say seriously, "Don't listen to the rumors out there. How could I marry into your family?"
With such talent, such handsomeness, and such lofty character, why would he marry into the family? In the future, he should be the leader of the Demon Suppression Division, so it is reasonable for him to marry Xiao Chu.
Perhaps this is also the reason why Director Chu told him.
It was precisely because she knew that he had a good relationship with Xiao Chu that she wanted him to ease the relationship between father and daughter.
Or maybe... he is paving the way for Wei Zhao.
Xiao Chu didn't like Wei Zhao, which meant that Wei Zhao would not get any support in the future. But if Xiao Chu's "sweetheart" could mediate and turn the relationship between the two siblings into peace... Thinking of this, Lu Zhan frowned.
Regardless of whether his guess is right or not, he will not interfere in this matter. Xiao Chu has the freedom to choose not to forgive, and this is her right.
Don't persuade others to be kind to others without suffering.
"Why is the atmosphere so strange?" Zhuge Chen noticed the change in the atmosphere and couldn't help but change the subject: "Tonight is the first day of July, the black market is open to welcome customers, Brother Lu, don't forget what happened just now, just listen and forget it."
Lu Zhan smiled: "Of course."
