CHAPTER 406: CHAPTER 254: DON’T CALL ME FAIRY, CALL ME SENIOR!【SEEKING SUBSCRIPTION】

"Soul Capture Skill!"

To prevent any accidents, Wen Zhixing likewise coordinated the use of his own secret skill.

The movements of the Ghostly Cunning Spirit were extraordinarily swift.

The two sides cooperated for the first time, but because their intentions were aligned, the collaboration was seamless.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

How could Lu Yingying have anticipated that "Lu Shangxing" would decisively kill her to silence her?

After all, her relationship with Lu Ruoyun was not ordinary.

If this were the common world, she would be akin to a dowry maid.

Every action was for the sake of her Master, never going against her Master’s wishes.

Moreover, Lu Shangxing had previously treated her quite well.

Normally, even if she knew something, in her understanding, Lu Shangxing would only control her temporarily.

This was also why she didn’t resist at all.

But the result...

"Sir..."

Lu Yingying truly didn’t understand. In her final moment, she saw "Lu Shangxing’s" face flash before her, cold and detached to the extreme.

In an instant, her divine soul was torn apart by those black claws.

A giant black maw abruptly opened and engulfed her.

Everything before her eyes plunged into nothingness as her divine soul consciousness began to be rapidly devoured.

Even until this last moment, she couldn’t believe what was happening.

Why would Lu Shangxing kill her...?

She had even... fantasized about being with Lu Shangxing.

Although it was just a beautiful dream...

"BURP."

After swallowing Lu Yingying, the Ghostly Cunning Spirit couldn’t help but let out a satisfied belch.

Then it shakily hid within Wen Zhixing’s shadow.

Its body was special, capable of truly hiding within a person’s shadow.

On ordinary days, it only needed to consume one remnant soul to satisfy its hunger.

But today, Lu Yingying was a complete divine soul, equivalent to several remnant souls.

Naturally, it had overeaten a bit.

It would probably need several days to digest this meal.

"Sigh."

Wen Zhixing looked down at the corpse below.

This was the cruelty of the cultivation world.

Even if you did nothing wrong, you could still meet a fatal disaster.

There was nothing more to be said.

"Someone’s coming."

Suddenly, Wen Zhixing perceived a presence rapidly approaching. With a wave of his hand, he collected Lu Yingying’s corpse.

In the next instant, four guards from the Lin Mansion abruptly appeared before him.

"Sir!"

The guards had just arrived, their expressions turning stern. They were especially shocked upon seeing "Lu Shangxing" and the remaining bloodstains on the ground.

Wen Zhixing spoke with a smile before the guards could ask anything, "Don’t worry, I’m fine."

"But here..." one of the guards began to ask, as this matter concerned the safety of the Lin Mansion.

"The issue has been resolved. You may all withdraw," Wen Zhixing gestured dismissively.

After exchanging glances, the guards bowed their heads, acknowledged, and slowly retreated.

Since their Sir had stated the matter was resolved, it wasn’t their place to say more.

As servants, their primary role was obedience. They needed to be crystal clear on what to say and not say, and what to do and not do.

This was how one could thrive.

After all, Lu Shangxing was the future head of the Lu Family.

Seeing the guards retreat promptly, Wen Zhixing chuckled calmly.

It had to be said, having powerful backing was indeed wonderful.

This feeling of being high and mighty, of doing as one pleased, was something he had never experienced before.

It’s like how everyone hates privilege, yet everyone desires it.

In truth, most people don’t hate privilege; they just hate that they are not the ones who possess it.

The people of this world are ultimately not saints.

BZZT.

Just then, a message came through the jade talisman at his waist.

Wen Zhixing’s thoughts stirred slightly. This Message Jade Talisman wasn’t his; it was Lu Shangxing’s.

Everything Lu Shangxing owned was now at his disposal.

[Lu Shidi, Qinglian Fairy has entered the Lin Mansion to stay. You must keep an eye on her movements.]

[That Wen Zhixing has changed his appearance and entered Linlang City. I’ve locked onto several targets. I’ve already lost track of one named Bai Shian. Lu Shidi, remember to be cautious of this person.]

[Lu Shidi, you should also be wary of others and not be careless.]

These three consecutive messages were from none other than Qin Hao.

Qin Hao has actually noticed me.

After checking the messages, Wen Zhixing was slightly shaken.

Qin Hao’s methods were stronger than he had imagined.

Even though he hadn’t exposed anything, he was still perceived by someone in the shadows.

And he himself had been completely unaware of it.

This meant the other party’s methods were extremely sophisticated, or perhaps Qin Hao was simply casting a wide net.

Targeting them one by one.

But no matter how ingenious your methods, you’d never guess that I’m currently within this Lu Mansion, having become Lu Shangxing.

Wen Zhixing couldn’t help but chuckle.

Search all you want. Go ahead and investigate. I’ll just be here watching your performance.

After a moment’s thought, Wen Zhixing casually sent a reply, then slowly vanished into the night.

When he reappeared, he had once again taken on Shao Zhengze’s appearance.

Yes. To rescue both of them tonight, there had to be a scapegoat.

And the only choice for that scapegoat was none other than Shao Zhengze.

Unfortunately, Qin Tian and Qin Hao were currently at the Lu Family residence, accompanied by others, making it difficult to frame either of them.

Wen Zhixing walked towards the chambers where Si Nanyan was staying.

With his current identity, it was indeed improper for him to visit Si Nanyan late at night.

But if Lu Ruoyun was also there to provide cover, and he still had Lu Shangxing’s token, it should be manageable.

Now, all that’s left is to wait.

Wen Zhixing’s demeanor was relaxed.

It was only because his own strength was low that the members of the Lu Family didn’t take him seriously.
