Chapter 530: To Save or Not to Save?
Lu Ming tried tosmile. Im okay. Then, he remembered what I said. My ancestor is in trouble?
I nodded.
Iknewhewas being plotted against! As soon as Lu Mingknewthat Lu Yuwasin danger, he was stirred up. It wasas if he had justreceivedan energy boost. He pulled meand rushedtoward the vige.
Alongthe way there, Lu Ming told me that he heard the old man callhim whilehe wassleeping. He sawthe man waveat him. Instinctively, he walked toward him. When he camenear, he recognized it wasMr. Big Mole. Butbefore he could run, his surroundings changed.
Lu Ming knew he couldnt escape, so he turned andlookedatMr. Big Mole,ready to risk his life ifnecessary. Unexpectedly,Mr. Big Moledidnt want to fight him. He turnedandleft. Before he left he said,Im going todeal withthat old man first. Then, itll beyour turn
Lu Ming knew things had gone wrong at that time. Afterward, he asked me, Are you sure you can deal with the thirty-six female ghosts?
What do you mean? Those female ghosts want to kill Lu Yu? I haltedand frowned.
Lu Mingnodded. Sincewe are both fine and not in danger, only those thirty-six women could make my ancestore out of the teapot.
Even though the women had a deep love for Lu Yu, they had died with resentment. After one thousand years, their resentful energieshad grown extremely powerful. IfMr. Big Molewanted to pour oil into the fire by telling the women that Lu Yu wasnt deadatthat time, the womens wrathwouldskyrocket!
Lu Yu wouldnt be afraid of them. However,because ofhis guilty conscience,he couldlet them hurt him without fighting back
I carefully considered the possibilityand thoughtthat even if I could deal with the thirty-six ghosts, Lu Yu wouldnt allow me to hurt them. The only solution now was to findMr. Big Molebefore the women could take action. It was the only chance to awakentheirlove for Lu Yu.
What do you have in mind? Lu Ming sounded worriedasI had kept silent.
I told him my idea. Then, I said, Do you know whereMr. Big Moleis?
I thought that he lived in the vige, but nowLu Ming shook his head. His face looked haggard. Is thereadifferent solution youcanthink of?
Lets go to the scene to see, I said helplessly.I had no hope now.
If Lu Yuwasntcruel to the girls, then no matter how hard I tried, it would be liketalking to apersonwho didnt want to live anymore.
When we reached the vige, we saw wisps of purple Yin energyrollinto a vortex. Lu Yuhelda cane in his hand. He stoodin the center of the vortex.
The female ghostssurroundedhim. They were tearing his body. Lu Yu didnt resist. He sighed. Tears rolled downhis face.
The situation was exactlyas Ihad imagined!
Damn it! Im going to risk my life! When Lu Ming sawthe scene, he seemed to haveturnedberserkinstantly. Hiseyesturnedred. Then, he roaredand dashed forward.
His voice was really loud, so all thefemale ghosts turned around. I felt like there was a drum being hit inside my head. Luckily for us, the female ghosts kept their focus on Lu Yu. They just took a nceat us and thenresumed their attackson him.
I pulled Lu Mingand restrainedhim. Then, I ppedhim.
Can you behave? Im not an immortal. I cant save you from the ws of those thousand-year-old female ghosts! I clenched my jaw.
After yelling at him, my nose felt a little sore. Id beenworking on this casefor half a month and this was going to be the ending. I felt somewhat lost.
Lu Ming smiled at me. Hisvoice was strangely calm. Master Zhang, I understandwhat youre thinking. Im going to get in there, butitsnot because of my impulsive intention.
What? I was surprised.
He wanted to get in there tomakethe female ghosts attack him.Lu Yu could ignore his safety, but he wouldnt neglect his descendant.The old manmight attack the female ghosts to save Lu Ming, which would scare the female ghosts away.
It wasnt a bad idea. However, it was too risky. If Lu Yu hesitated for a second, those ghosts would tear Lu Ming apart. I consideredit and askedhelplessly, Is it worth risking your life to save a man who died more than one thousand years ago?
Hes my ancestor! Lu Ming replied then patted my shoulder. Master Zhang, Ivetransferred a little sum to you today. Please ept it as the payment. If I cant escape, you should run.He unbuttoned his suit and vest. Then, he dashedforward.
I had tears in my eyes. I had thought that Lu Ming was a timid man. I had never thought that hecould beso manly.
As he chargedforward, he bit the tip of his tongue and spat hisbloodout.The seven or eight ghostsclosestto him screeched in pain.
Since Lu Mings soul was already weak, thatwas allhis blood could do. Still, he had provoked the female ghosts. They screamedand jumpedtoward him. Lu Yu didnt move. He actedas though he didnt see anything.
My heartskipped a beat. Instinctively, Irushedin to save him. At the moment our lives were at stake, Lu Yu suddenlyughed.
Hiughtersounded even sadder thana mans cry. However, it proved that Lu Yu had made his choice. I exhaledand held thePeach Soul Flower tightly.
After Lu Yuughed, his body emitted a dazzling silver light. This light swallowed the thirty-six ghosts purple Yin energy. A secondter, all the ghosts stopped their attacks. Theywerestill, just as if they werefrozen.
I eased my mindand gaveLu Ming a thumbs-up. He smiled at me then kowtowed to Lu Yu three times. He askedthe old man to leave with him.
Lu Yu looked at Lu Ming. Finally, hegavea kind smile. However, he didnt move. Hiseyesshiftedfrom Lu Ming to the female ghosts. Lu Ming wasnt in danger anymore, which made Lu Yu hesitant.
It wasnt good if we lingered like this. I looked at the spirit talisman in my handand thoughtabout using a talisman to subdue Lu Yu. No matter what, he was wounded and couldnt escape.
However, before I could move, the situation changed again. The female ghosts started to shake as if they hadreceived anelectric shock.
I suddenly had a bad premonition. Indeed, the femaleghosts soon regained control oftheirmovements. The silver halo Lu Yu had created shattered into pieces, vanishingshortly after.
Lu Yu felltothe ground. At the same time, I heard someonescreech. I was surprised. It wasMr. Big Moles voice! It turned out he was hiding nearby!
