<h4>Chapter 447: How Could There Be Such a Disgusting Thing?</h4>


    “What... what kind of evil technique is this?”


    Seeing this scene, Mo Bin was so scared that he took two steps back.


    “Evil technique?”


    Lu Sheng smiled faintly. “Why didn’t you say that you have raised evil creatures?”


    She looked down at the squirming Gu worm on the ground and a disdainful expression appeared on her face.


    “Using your body and blood to raise such a disgusting thing. Don’t you have nightmares when you sleep at night?”


    Mo Bin’s face changed drastically. He gritted his teeth.


    However, after seeing Lu Sheng’s ‘strange’ technique, he did not dare to attack rashly.


    Lu Sheng turned her gaze to Chu Silin and said coldly, “And you, Chu Silin.”


    “You’ve gone against Chu Sihan multiple times. Have you ever won?”


    “You—”


    Chu Silin red at her angrily.


    “Why?” Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “Did I hit your sore spot? Even you know that you can’tpare to Chu Sihan, right?”


    “One has to know their limits, but you don’t seem to know.”


    “To be honest, I admire your courage. However...”


    She paused and sneered. “You have to cherish your life. Don’t think that others can’t do anything to you.”


    “You have to know that the reason why you’re still alive is not because you’re lucky. It’s because of Chu Sihan’s kindness towards your father. One day, you’ll lose Chu Sihan’sst bit of kindness and your life will be over.”


    Chu Silin red at Lu Sheng, his eyeballs almost falling out.


    Lu Sheng was not afraid at all. She continued smiling and said, “This is my kind advice. You better believe me.”


    If not for fear that Chu Sihan would be in a difficult position, she would have long finished this idiot off.


    What was this? Did he really think that he was amazing just because he had the backing of a lousy martial arts sect?


    “Lord, I’ll look after this ce. Go and search the vicinity and see where the Gu people they locked up are.”


    Lu Sheng’s words made the three people in the room freeze immediately.


    “Okay.”


    A deep voice came from outside the window. They looked mechanically at the window and saw a slender figure sh past.


    Chu Silin was dumbfounded and he fell onto the chair.


    Lu Sheng pulled a chair and sat at the door. She crossed her arms over her chest and crossed her legs. Her red lips curved into a ‘friendly’ smile as she stared at the three of them.


    On the ground, a Gu worm was wriggling towards her.


    Mo Bin rolled his eyes and felt proud.


    As long as the child Gu could touch Lu Sheng’s skin, it would enter her body.


    At that time, he could decide what Lu Sheng would do.


    However, when the child Gu crawled to Lu Sheng’s feet, Lu Sheng suddenly lowered her foot and stepped on it.


    Mo Bin’s smile froze.


    He widened his eyes and stared fixedly at Lu Sheng’s foot that was stepping on the child Gu.


    “What?”


    Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “Are you very disappointed?”


    She lifted her foot and looked at the motionless child Gu on the ground. She shuddered and revealed a disgusted expression.


    “How can there be such a disgusting thing in this world?”


    As she spoke, she kicked the child Gu back to Mo Bin’s feet.


    Looking at the ttened child Gu by his feet, Mo Bin was speechless.


    This was a Gu worm that he had spent a lot of effort to raise. It was actually called a disgusting thing.


    This was intolerable!


    He yelled and pounced at Lu Sheng, as if he wanted to die together with her.


    However, before he could touch Lu Sheng, he was sent flying by an invisible force.


    “Well done!”


    Lu Sheng smiled and gave Tan Jun and the rest a thumbs up.


    Tan Jun cupped his hands humbly.


    “Master, do you need me to lure their souls over?”


    Jia Zheng rubbed his hands and revealed an excited expression.


    “Put away your lecherous expression.”


    Lu Sheng nced at him disdainfully and said lightly, “You don’t have to do anything. When the Lordes back, someone will naturally take care of them.”


    “Go and block the windows. Don’t let them escape.”


    “Yes!”


    Tan Jun led the other four men to guard the windows in the east while Jia Zheng led the other four men to guard the windows in the south.


    On the other side, Mo Bin, who was sitting on the ground, and Chu Silin and Qi Nan, who were sitting on the chairs, stared at Lu Sheng in a daze.


    Their expressions were as if they had seen a ghost.


    Of course, Lu Sheng could understand their expressions.


    After all, anyone who saw someone speaking and giving orders to ‘air’ would more or less think that this person was mentally ill.


    “Who... Who were you talking to?”


    Qi Nan shuddered and asked Lu Sheng fearfully.


    The previous experience was still vivid in their minds.


    It was not easy for him to ‘escape.’ He did not want to experience it again.


    “What are you afraid of?”


    Lu Sheng mocked, “You’re not even afraid of keeping worms in your body. Are you afraid of ghosts?”


    Mo Bin was speechless.


    Ghosts were much scarier than Gu worms!


    At least, Gu worms could be seen, but ghosts could not. Ghosts were almost impossible to guard against.


    Chu Silin nced at the window and subconsciously swallowed his saliva.


    He did not want to sit here and wait for Chu Sihan toe back and mock him. He could not stand Chu Sihan’s high and mighty attitude the most.


    However, there were those things at the windows and he could not get out immediately. Other than sitting there, he really did not know what to do.


    p!


    The originally open windows in the east suddenly closed, scaring the three who were already on tenterhooks to the point of almost rolling their eyes on the spot.


    “Hahaha—”


    Jia Zheng, who had seeded in his prank, convulsed withughter.


    Lu Sheng was speechless.


    How could such a silly person be a foreman when he was alive?


    The ones with Tan Jun were more pleasing to the eye.


    As Lu Sheng thought about this, her gazended on Tan Jun.


    She shifted her chair over and muttered, “Have I fulfilled my promise to give you the carriagest time?”


    The ghosts looked at her silently.


    “Ah...”


    Lu Sheng frowned and pondered for a moment. She mumbled, “Really? I haven’t given you yet?”


    The ghosts shook their heads.


    “Alright.”


    She smiled and said, “I’ll go to the manor tomorrow and get you some good stuff.”


    When Jia Zheng heard that, he hurriedly said, “What good stuff? We want it too!”


    Lu Sheng nodded. “Yes.”


    Speaking of which, they were both in the Nurturing Talisman. Why did the ghost aura of Tan Jun and the rest be fainter while the ghost aura of those ck clouds became thicker?


    What went wrong?


    It seemed like she had to consult her master when he returned.


    Chu Silin, Qi Nan, and Mo Bin looked at Lu Sheng, who was muttering to herself. Their hearts could not help but shiver.


    Hence, they looked at her like she was a ‘lunatic.’


    This was the first time in neen years that Chu Silin prayed for Chu Sihan to appear in front of him quickly.


    He would rather be mocked by Chu Sihan than stay with such a ‘crazy woman.’


    —————


    Chu Sihan searched the courtyard and finally found the group of Gu people.


    He did not know how many people there were previously, but now, there were only fifteen people left in the room.


    There were eightdies and seven men. The youngest was a young boy who looked like he was only six or seven years old.


    They were locked in the room. When they heard footsteps, they did not look up but shrunk into a corner in fear.


    Chu Sihan frowned and sent a signal to the sky.


    About fifteen minutester, the nearby constables rushed over.


    Chu Sihan was holding the moon pearl, so the constables recognized him immediately.


    “Lord, what happened?”


    The constables looked at the group of Gu people in the room and asked suspiciously.


    “Ignore that for now. Bring them back to the government office first and get some medicine from the pharmacy.”


    A constable said hesitantly, “Ah... It’s already sote. I’m afraid the pharmacy is closed.”


    “Think of a way to get them to open the door. Saving them is more important.”


    As Chu Sihan spoke, he passed the moon pearl to a constable to hold on to for the time being. Then, he took out a piece of paper and wrote down a bunch of medicine names with the pen Lu Sheng gave him.


    The constable holding the moon pearl in his hand was trembling slightly.


    He had never seen such an expensive item in his life.


    He was afraid that he would identally break it.


    “Take it.”


    Chu Sihan passed the prescription to one of the constables and instructed, “After you get these medicines, crush them into fine powder and mix them into small pills. Then, add some alcohol to them.”


    The constable took a look at the prescription and saw the words: Costus, Areca Palm, Semen Pharbitdis, Euphorbia Pekinensis, and other herbs.


    Moreover, some of them required vinegar.


    “Lord, aren’t youing back with us?”


    “I still have other matters to attend to. Bring them back first.”


    Chu Sihan took the moon pearl and left in another direction.


    Lu Sheng was chatting with Tan Jun and the rest when the door behind her was suddenly pushed open.


    She turned back and saw a slender figure walking in.


    “Lord is back!”


    She stood up and walked over with a smile.


    When Tan Jun, Jia Zheng, and the rest saw him, they hurriedly bowed.


    Chu Sihan nodded at them before looking at Chu Silin.


    The moment Chu Sihan opened the door, the three people in the room heaved a sigh of relief.


    Chu Silin’s eyes darted around, but he did not dare to look at Chu Sihan.


    “I’ll write to Uncle and get him to bring you back personally.”


    Chu Silin’s body stiffened. He red at Chu Sihan angrily and said, “You have no right to detain me!”


    “I’m not qualified?”


    Chu Sihan smiled coldly. “As the magistrate of Lin Jiang Mansion, no one is more qualified than me.”


    “How dare you abuse your authority?”


    “What do you mean by abusing his authority?”


    Lu Sheng snorted coldly. “How dare you treat human lives like grass? You’re raising Gu with living humans. If news of this gets out, none of you will be able to escape.”


    “What a joke.”


    Chu Silin mmed the table and stood up. “Those people are just ves we bought from the market. It’s up to us to decide whether they live or die. Don’t even mention raising Gu with them. Even if we kill them directly, what can you do to me?”


    Lu Sheng frowned and asked Chu Sihan in a low voice, “There are such rules?”


    Although he was unwilling, Chu Sihan nodded slightly.


    Lu Sheng’s face scrunched up.


    “Chu Sihan, you’ve brought our men away. If this matter gets out, you should be the one at fault, right?”


    Chu Silin said proudly.


    “Really?”


    Chu Sihan smiled lightly. “Then, why did you put the Gu people in my residence? You have to know that it’s not a small crime to frame an official of the Imperial Court.”


    Chu Silin’s smug smile froze and he could only stare at them.


    Chu Sihan took out a rope from nowhere and immediately pinned Chu Silin onto the table. Ignoring his screams, he tied him up like a dumpling.


    When Qi Nan and Mo Bin saw this, they wanted to take the opportunity to escape. Then, the windows were closed. Even if they wanted to escape, they could not.


    In the end, Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng tied the three of them up and brought them back to the government office.


    The notice to identify the corpses was also torn off.


    After knowing that their Sect Master had been captured, the men from An Luo Sect went to the government office early in the morning to reason things out. However, Chu Yun and Constable Ji kicked them out without a second thought.


    On the night Chu Sihan returned to the government office, he immediately sent a letter to Chu Hongqing.


    After Chu Hongqing and Mdm Jiang received the news, they hurried over.


    Of course, by the time they arrived, Chu Silin had already been locked up for six to seven days. His beard was unkempt and his hair was disheveled. His image as a young master had long disappeared.


    He would lie on the fence every day, either cursing Chu Sihan or crying for someone to let him out.


    Of course, everyone ignored him.


    When Mdm Jiang saw her son, she was so angry that she almost fainted.


    “Mother!”


    Upon seeing Mdm Jiang, Chu Silin immediately burst into tears.


    Chu Hongqing was shocked when he saw this scene.


    He looked at Chu Sihan and was about to ask for the reason when Mdm Jiang spoke first.


    “Chu Sihan, what are you doing?”


    Chu Sihan let Chu Yun bring the others away before looking at Mdm Jiang. He said lightly, “Aunt, didn’t you see what I did?”


    “You—”


    Mdm Jiang gritted her teeth. “Why did you lock your cousin up? If he did anything wrong, you could have just reprimanded him. Why did you lock him up?”


    “Why did I lock him up?”


    Chu Sihan smiled lightly. “Well, you have to ask your good son.”


    “I didn’t do anything!”


    Chu Silin sniffed and said, “Father, Mother, Chu Sihan framed me. I was just drinking tea with a friend in the Chu Mansion when he got someone to lock me up. Mother, you have to uphold justice for me!”


    “Shut up!”


    Chu Hongqing scolded him. Although Chu Silin was unhappy, he kept quiet obediently.


    “Why are you shouting?”


    Mdm Jiang red at Chu Hongqing and her heart ached so much that she choked.


    “Your son has been bullied so badly, yet you’re still shouting at him. Do you have any conscience?”


    “Han Er is not such a person.”


    Chu Hongqing sighed softly and looked at Chu Sihan. “Han Er, tell Uncle what happened. Did this brat do something?”


    When Chu Sihan informed him, he did not exin the reason clearly. He only told him toe to Lin Jiang Mansion’s government office quickly to pick Chu Silin up.


    “Him?”


    Chu Sihan looked at Mdm Jiang with a faint smile and said, “Nothing much. He just colluded with a martial arts sect in the pugilistic world and used living people to raise Gu. He even participated in the political affairs of the Imperial Court.”


    When Mdm Jiang and Chu Hongqing heard that, their bodies stiffened.


    “Impossible!”


    Mdm Jiang could not believe that her son had the guts. Moreover, she could not believe that her son would be in cahoots with officials from the Imperial Court.
