Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 331 Xiao Chu: Master must have considered Lu Zhan his son-in-law [Two in One]

Chu Wantang didn't doubt Lu Zhan's words at first, but he couldn't think about it too carefully. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Master is a rough but meticulous person. Even if he trusts Lu Zhan, he will never act so rashly.

Unless there was something she didn't know...

Chu Wantang suddenly approached Lu Zhan. Although she was only as tall as Lu Zhan's chin, she had a natural nobility in sage mode. Her stern look and glaring at people was quite intimidating.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lu Zhan felt a little guilty when she stared at him like that.

But he didn't lift up the skirt of the Grand Master to look at the Jade Tiger. He was forced to look at it... Thinking of this, Lu Zhan's guilty feeling disappeared.

Chu Wantang grabbed his wrist, and her charming peach blossom eyes became a little colder: "Is there something going on between you and Master that I don't know about?"

"No--"

Lu Zhan looked innocent, and he felt very innocent in his heart. Today, when she came here with the Grand Master in her arms, the maids in the princess's mansion looked at him strangely, as if he were the princess's lover.

He reached out and held Chu Wantang's hand, whispering, "What are you thinking? The relationship between the Grand Master and I is that of a superior and a subordinate. Your attitude makes it seem as if there is something between us."

……

After Aunt Mingyu fed the Grand Master some sobering soup, the Grand Master woke up soon after.

Chu Wantang nodded slightly and walked towards the side hall. When she reached the outside of the side hall, she suddenly looked back and said, "The case of the Duke of Guo has implications. You have to be careful."

Lu Zhan approached her as he spoke, and their breathing gradually became intertwined.

Fortunately, he was able to think quickly and disrupt Xiao Chu's train of thought, otherwise Xiao Chu would have really seen through something and affected his image.

She walked towards the side hall. After two steps, she saw Lu Zhan following behind her. Chu Wantang reminded her, "Don't go. It's against the rules."

Chu Wantang knew his master. He usually dressed quite boldly, but because of his high level of cultivation, others could not see any of his elegance.

Lu Zhan was afraid that someone would see this scene. Nothing happened to him, but if other people saw it, who knows what might happen.

I guess it was because I saw the jade tiger of my female boss. The feeling of guilt was really torturous.

Wuyang Palace.

Especially Lu Zhan’s reaction just now, it couldn’t be fake... She had read in the storybook that when a man faces his beloved woman, he can’t help but make a move.

But I swear to God, he really is not.

Only after walking out of the door did Lu Zhan breathe a sigh of relief. When he was chatting with Xiao Chu just now, he looked calm and composed, but he was actually a little guilty in his heart.

Lu Zhan nodded and left the princess's residence with a calm expression.

Lu Zhan nodded: "Don't worry, I know what's going on. The Duke's Mansion will be confiscated and the charges will be investigated and convicted. I will be busy for the next two days."

Thinking of this, Chu Wantang was no longer in the mood to analyze the secrets between Lu Zhan and her master. She pushed Lu Zhan's chest and retreated backwards: "I'm going to see my master!"

Now that the master is not on guard against Lu Zhan, perhaps he has 'passed the test' and thinks Lu Zhan is a good person, and maybe he considers Lu Zhan as his 'son-in-law'.

“What’s there to ask?” Chu Wantang muttered in his heart. The master had always been unruly. He even pretended to be a little girl to get close to Lu Zhan, and was pinched on the face and hit on the chest by Lu Zhan…

The master's many strange behaviors towards Lu Zhan were probably all to test Lu Zhan's character for her, so how could she let her imagination run wild? This was not only an offense to the master, but also a lack of trust in Lu Zhan.

Although she and her master are master and disciple, they are also like mother and daughter. Her master did not give birth to her, but he did raise her and teach her skills.

Aunt Mingyu glanced at Chu Wantang and said, "After the young lady came here, Master Lu went back."

The chief secretary looked at Chu Wantang, who was standing not far away, with a subtle look on her face. She raised her hand and waved, saying lazily, "Lanlan, why are you standing so far away? Come here."

Lu Zhan calmed down and rushed to the Demon Suppression Bureau without stopping. His female boss was happy after accompanying her in this fight today, but there were still many things to be finished, so he had to go back to deal with them.

Lu Zhan looked at her with a half-smile: "You don't want to ask anymore?"

Chu Wantang stared, watching the handsome face getting closer and closer to her. She suddenly stretched out her hand to block Lu Zhan's chest and pushed him outside.

The moment the charming phoenix eyes opened, he saw his apprentice and confidant standing in front of the bed. The Grand Master raised his eyelids and glanced around, but did not see his beloved general.

Chu Wantang's heart was in turmoil, and her mind was full of Lu Zhan's actions just now. Now she just wanted to stay away from Lu Zhan so that she could calm down.

When Aunt Mingyu saw this, she knew what her master was looking for, and explained with a smile:

"There are still things to do at the Demon Suppression Division, and the follow-up at the Duke's Mansion needs to be taken care of. Lord Lu has already gone back. Princess, why did you drink so much today? If Lord Lu hadn't been here, I'm afraid you would have driven drunk again and been charged by the Ministry of Justice."

If she hadn't stopped him just now, Lu Zhan would have definitely kissed her and entangled his lips and tongue with hers...

"Okay, since you're here, I'll leave." Lu Zhan did not force it. This was indeed against the rules, but he had already been forced to see something even more against the rules.

The sky was gloomy and it was raining. Red candles were burning in the bedroom. The incense from the incense burner was rising slowly. A warm fragrance filled the room, which smelled very refreshing.

Lu Zhan sighed, "That's true, but he is Duke Xie after all. If you pull out a carrot, there will be mud. I guess there will be a lot of trouble waiting for you later."

Chu Wantang didn't say anything, but she held Lu Zhan's wrist tightly and didn't let go. Her expression and posture were as if she was catching someone cheating.

"..."

Chu Wantang frowned and said, "Let the Ministry of Justice handle this matter. Our Demon Suppression Department helped to catch the man and find evidence of the crime. There's no reason for us to help deal with the aftermath."

Chu Wantang had been thinking about Lu Zhan a lot these past two days, especially after Qin Fei challenged Lu Zhan, she was pondering the matter even more in her heart.

Chu Wantang knew that the Demon Suppression Division was very busy, especially when it involved court officials, so she softened her tone and whispered, "Then go ahead and get busy, but you must also take care of your health. You can't take advantage of the fact that you are a cultivator and not take your health seriously."

"I'm so happy, so I had a few drinks." The chief minister sat up, then lazily leaned back on the phoenix chair and asked casually, "When did he go back?"

Although she was not sure what she was thinking at the moment, she could see that... Lu Zhan had feelings for her.

But now that I'm drunk, there's no guarantee that I won't reveal something that I shouldn't. What would happen if Lu Zhan saw it?

Chu Wantang had a stern face and said in an unhappy tone: "Master went to the Duke's Mansion today for serious business. He should have detained Duke Xie and his men and then returned. How could Master drink and have fun there?"

Duke Xie has been arrested, so what kind of birthday celebration is this?

Seeing that she looked like an adult, the Grand Master raised his hand and snapped his fingers. The jade pendant hanging on Xiao Chu's chest began to glow, and Xiao Chu's temperament returned to normal.

"Master!" The sage mode ended, and Xiao Chu stomped his feet, very dissatisfied with his master's behavior.

The Grand Master said lazily, "We're not outside. What are you doing with that broken jade pendant in Wuyang Palace? I gave you the jade pendant to let you practice, not to let you scold your master."

Chu Wantang twisted her waist and walked closer, curling her lips slightly: "Who made Master act so boldly? If I don't persuade him, what will happen?"

The chief master said kindly, "That's not right. Although old man Xie Jing has been arrested, I am a very humanitarian. Since today is his birthday, even if he is in jail, we will help him celebrate. What's more, it's rare that we are in the right, so isn't it appropriate to make a fuss?"

"..."

Chu Wantang's face was tense, and she was a little speechless. After a long while, she said, "Then Master shouldn't be so drunk. He was brought back by Lu Zhan. Master, aren't you afraid that Lu Zhan will take the opportunity to do something bad to you?"

"How is that possible?" The Grand Master was not worried about this at all. She said, "I think Lu Zhan is a rare gentleman. Not to mention that I was drunk, even if I was lying in front of him with my clothes disheveled, he would not do such a thing."

Chu Wantang was full of surprise and doubt: "When did you trust Lu Zhan so much? Last time, you even gave him the teleportation jade talisman."

First there was the teleportation talisman and now he was being carried back. Chu Wantang felt indescribable emotions in his heart.

She always felt that since coming to Bian Jing, although she and Lu Zhan were closer, her heart was a little distant.

The chief master narrowed his eyes, his expression no longer as casual as before, but a little cold: "Master always knows how to do things in moderation, Lanlan, don't worry."

Although Chu Wantang would usually advise the Grand Master, he did not dare to be too presumptuous. He lowered his head slightly and said, "I am worrying too much."

Aunt Mingyu looked at the Grand Master with a bit of heartache in her eyes. She sighed quietly in her heart and said with a smile, "Miss, please relax. The princess has her own reasons for doing things. Miss, you just need to concentrate on your cultivation. The princess will take care of all these worldly matters."

Chu Wantang was stunned, but couldn't refute.

Indeed, when Master is not fooling around, he is very sensible in what he does.

Aunt Mingyu's reaction made Chu Wantang feel mixed emotions. It seemed that her master was hiding something from her...

The Grand Master didn't want to say more. She waved her hand and said, "Lanlan, please leave."

“Then Master, please have a good rest.” Chu Wantang left with doubts in his mind.

After Chu Wantang left, the chief minister half-closed his eyes and said, "Lu Zhan's determination is indeed extraordinary. If he is really willing to assist Lan Lan in the future, I can go into seclusion without any worries."

Aunt Mingyu seemed to be thinking about something: "Lord Lu does have some skills, and he is loyal to the princess, but Lord Lu has always been lustful. He didn't do anything improper to you, perhaps because of your identity."

"That's enough." The chief minister rubbed his brows. "It's normal for men to be lustful. It's especially important to know what to touch and what not to touch. Lu Zhan is very sensible. Besides, I'm not making a judgment based on this one incident. Let's wait and see."

Aunt Mingyu nodded slightly.

The chief minister looked at the phoenix crown placed next to him and suddenly asked, "Why is the phoenix crown placed here?"

Aunt Mingyu shook her head: "This is not something I put up."

There was a moment of silence in the side hall. The chief priest's hand, which was rubbing his forehead, paused for a moment, with a look of doubt on his face.

Before she returned to Wuyang Palace, her mind was naturally as clear as a mirror. After arriving at the bedroom, she naturally relaxed and actually took a nap for a while.

It seems that Lu Zhan put this phoenix crown here for her...

The chief steward glanced down at the hem of her skirt. Under the hem were a pair of legs wrapped in black socks. She was not wearing trousers, which was quite a sight.

That kid probably didn't see anything he shouldn't have seen...

The Grand Master narrowed her eyes but did not think much about it. She was not an ignorant little girl and would not be distracted and entangled for a long time because of such things.

Compared to these things, she has more important things to do.

……

Crash-

Torrential rain washed the eaves, and the vermilion pavilion was hidden in the heavy rain. Lu Zhan, holding an oil-paper umbrella, came out of Wuyang Palace and went straight to the Demon Suppression Bureau.

The sky was dark, and the entire palace seemed a little depressing.

Chen Beifang led his men to escort Duke Xie and General Lu to the Tianlao. As the case was of great importance and involved many officials, the Demon Suppression Division had to jointly try the case with the Ministry of Justice, but the Emperor of the Great Zhou still needed to give his approval.

"Did Xie Jing explain?" Lu Zhan felt uneasy as he sat in the director's seat.
