Lu Baicha turned around and left to investigate the matter.
Wu Tian being the Ancestor of Blood Refinement was something Si’er and others were aware of; Si’er had looked into the matter of Peony.
This Peony family, back in the day, owed debts, and eventually, Peony ended up as a brothel girl,
which was not a simple matter.
Therefore, Wu Tian was the one to deal with Peony, Lu Baicha said this,
Of course, what happens to the brothel?
It wasn’t Wu Tian’s concern anymore,
With the Pure Yang Sword and the Heaven-Evading Swordsmanship, if even a simple brothel can’t be handled?
Then Lu Baicha would be too useless.
..."That Mr. Lu has been inside for quite a while, why hasn’t he come out yet?"
Outside the courtyard, the people were waiting, and He Qiong was also waiting.
"I don’t know if the Ancestor of Blood Refinement knows everything."
"It would be great to know who ate the lotus from our home."
He Qiong stood among the crowd, letting out a sigh. The lotus she cultivated was always stolen, which made her feel uneasy.
Those lotuses were her heart and soul.
She had asked many people,
some directly said they didn’t want to talk and claimed they didn’t know.
Some, kind-hearted, helped He Qiong look into the lotus pond, but even when the lotuses were stolen, they didn’t know when or by whom.
"Creak."
The gate of the courtyard opened, seemingly indicating Lu Baicha would come out, yet when He Qiong and the others looked, it was indeed Lu Baicha who emerged. But upon seeing Lu Baicha, everyone’s eyes involuntarily widened.
In the crowd, especially the scholars who were familiar with Lu Baicha, they were even more stiffened.
"This...this is Brother Lu? How could this be possible?"
This thought popped into their minds unconsciously.
What kind of person was Lu Baicha?
He was their classmate, they had once composed poems and written together.
Lu Baicha’s integrity was like theirs, the integrity of a scholar.
But now?
He just went in for a while, and after coming out, Lu Baicha’s demeanor was like a completely different person.
Going in, he was a scholar. Upon coming out, he was a swordsman traveling the world with a sword.
The sparkle in his eyes, and the aura exuding from him, seemed to be a different person altogether.
"What is going on here?"
"I don’t know."
The scholars in the crowd shook their heads one by one,
doubting if this Lu Baicha in front of them was truly the same Lu Baicha who used to go on outings and pursue fame with them, Lu the Scholar.
He Qiong’s beautiful eyes were also slightly dazed, afraid she was perhaps mistaking someone else?
Or did Lu Baicha have a twin brother?
She rubbed her eyes, looked carefully again, the clothes were exactly the same as when he entered the courtyard earlier, the same white shirt with the same size stains.
This was indeed the same person,
but how could his demeanor have changed so drastically?
"Two masters, please stay. No need to see me off; I will leave first."
Amidst the crowd’s shock, Lu Baicha bowed towards Bo Gu and Meng Tian, then prepared to leave with his parents.
"Let’s go ask." Some scholars familiar with Lu Baicha stepped forward one by one.
He Qiong, not knowing what to do, decided to get closer. She wanted to hear how this Mr. Lu could have changed so much?
"Brother Lu."
