Chapter 231 Lure the snake out of its hole

As the words fell, Gu Yichen and Lu Ling'er resolutely walked out of their hiding place, their eyes piercing as they stared directly at the gray-clothed aunt. Her surprise instantly turned into a sneer, and her eyes revealed a bit of viciousness.

"You are quite brave, but this is not something you can interfere with." The gray-clothed aunt said coldly, with a hint of disdain in her tone.

Lu Linger met her gaze and said firmly, "We already know your plan clearly."

The gray-clothed aunt snorted coldly, her eyes flashing with sarcasm. "A plan? It's just some superficial stuff. Do you think you can expose everything by finding me? I'm not afraid of you."

Gu Yichen smiled slightly when he heard this, and slowly approached, saying calmly: "Then give it a try."

As he struck, his momentum was unstoppable. The gray-clad aunt's face suddenly changed, and she instinctively stepped back, a flicker of panic in her eyes. However, Lu Ling'er had already laid out a retreat route. The whip in her hand flashed like lightning, trapping the gray-clad aunt firmly in place. Even with her pregnancy, Lu Ling'er's whip technique was still incredibly sharp, weaving the shadows of her whip into a net, leaving the opponent with no way to escape.

"You want to run away? You are underestimating us." Lu Linger said coldly, with a cold look in her eyes, forcing the aunt in gray to grit her teeth and remain silent.

At that moment, the air was instantly filled with a tense atmosphere. Seeing she couldn't escape, the gray-clad aunt suddenly revealed a cunning smile. "Lu Ling'er, do you think you have the upper hand today? But you don't know that this is a trap set by my master, simply to force you to reveal yourself—you are 'that person's apprentice,' and we've been searching for you for a long time."

"How do you know my last name is Lu?" Lu Linger asked coldly. She usually used the name Mrs. Shen Kang, and it was impossible for her to reveal her true identity easily except to her family.

"Hmph, you think you can fool us? Is it true that no one knows that your father Lu Chenting was captured by Prefect Wen, as well as the Lu family's mysterious disappearance?" The gray-clothed aunt sneered, a hint of viciousness flashing in her eyes.

This sentence made Lu Linger's heart tremble slightly, and many speculations and confusions emerged in her mind. She took a deep breath, stared at the gray-clothed aunt, and suppressed her shock. "Who is your master? Why is he looking for me? And why did he capture my father?"

The gray-clothed aunt's sneer deepened, as if she saw through Lu Linger's doubts. "If you want to see the master, go to Lingyin Temple outside the city tomorrow morning. He will be waiting nearby, but you have to take us with you so that we can help you contact him."

Lu Linger frowned and stared at the gray-clothed aunt suspiciously, "Why should I believe you?"

The gray-robed aunt didn't answer, but sneered, "Of course you can bet we're lying, but even after mobilizing the entire Peach Blossom Villa, you still have no clue. This might be your only chance."

Gu Yichen looked at the gray-clothed aunt's expression, turned to Lu Linger, and said firmly: "In that case, I will do as she says tomorrow."

"This is the only way. We have no choice. Let's go back and see the poisoned patients." Lu Linger shrugged helplessly.

He knew this was true; even the forces of Qingyun Pavilion had difficulty finding his father-in-law. This time, he didn't want to miss any clues.

Lu Linger nodded silently, her mind a complex mix. She scanned her surroundings carefully, unwilling to miss any clues. She knew the matter was far from over, that the truth was only the tip of the iceberg, and the dark secrets hidden behind this tip were waiting to be uncovered step by step.
