Chapter 1045 - I Don’t Know How to Use It

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The moment Lu Yi said the word ‘outsider,’ Lu Yu’er secretly shot him a hateful glare.?No wonder he refused to tell me what exactly happened! It turns out that he got into such huge trouble! There’s no doubt that he must’ve gone to pick a fight with her first and ended up infuriating her into hurting his men! He’s the reason that we’re in this situation now! I’ve warned him time and time again not to be so reckless, but he never learns from his mistakes! Now, he even dared to hide the matter from me and only spilled out the truth in front of Lin Tianfeng!

Even though Lu Yu’er cursed Lu Yi out in her heart, he was ultimately her biological brother. There was nothing she could do except try and help him. But just as she was thinking about how she should speak up for her younger brother, she heard a familiar name.

Dugu Yue?!?She stared wide-eyed in shock and disbelief at her brother. “Who… did you say it was?”

Lu Yi looked at her. “Dugu Yue! That’s her name, alright! I’ve already sent my men to check!”

“H-how does she look like?” Lu Yu’er’s heart and voice were trembling as she held onto the last shred of hope and posed this question.?Please don’t let it be…

“Average, I guess. But she’s got a child with purple hair and eyes, so she’s easily recognizable! As long as Brother-in-law agrees to help me, we can surely find her in no time!”

Lu Yu’er’s vision went black, and her legs gave way, making her stagger and almost fall to the ground.?It’s really that Dugu Yue!

Lu Yi hurriedly went forward to support her. “Sis, what’s wrong—”

Lu Yu’er pushed him away angrily. “Have you said enough?!”

What’s going on? Why did she flare up at me for no rhyme or reason??Lu Yi became even more confused than ever. He snuck a quick glance at Lin Tianfeng, only to notice a strange look on the latter’s face. It was then that he realized that something seemed wrong.

Apprehension sprouted in his heart, and he was no longer acting smug like before. “W-what’s wrong…”

“You’re looking for Dugu Yue?” Lin Tianfeng suddenly asked.

Lu Yi nodded subconsciously. “That woman is very cunning. If you can help—”

But before he could finish saying his piece, he heard a clear female voice saying, “There’s no need to trouble Master Lin with this small matter.”

Finding this voice somewhat familiar, Lu Yi instinctively raised his head and looked over, only to see a woman slowly making her way over from the courtyard. She had ordinary looks, twinkling eyes, a small smirk on her face, and an air of nobility. Walking next to her was a fair and adorable toddler with purple hair and eyes.

Lu Yi widened his eyes in shock as he pointed a finger at the approaching woman. “Y-you…”

“I’m right here, Young Master Lu. There’s no need for you to spend so much effort to look for me.” Chu Liuyue and Dugu Mobao stopped five steps away from them.

Lu Yi could hardly believe his eyes as he shouted angrily, “W-what are you doing here?!”

“Why can’t I be here?” Chu Liuyue blinked. “Is this also your territory?”

Lu Yi choked and glanced at Lin Tianfeng in panic. “What nonsense are you babbling about?!”

“In that case, what does my presence here have to do with you?” Chu Liuyue asked in a slow and deliberate manner.

“You! You hurt my men, yet you have the cheek to ask me that question, you vicious snake?! Say, did you come here to hurt more people?! That must be it, right?!” Lu Yi shouted as his gaze hovered back and forth over the rest of the people. “You’re just a lowly outsider, and yet you dream of creating havoc at Grotto-Heaven Cliff?!”

As if she were looking at an idiot, Chu Liuyue smirked. “Young Master Lu, why can’t I understand what you’re saying? You claimed that I hurt your men… But why would I hurt them for no rhyme or reason?”

“That’s because they went—” Lu Yi hurriedly zipped up his mouth when he realized that something was wrong, for he would end up being at a disadvantage if the truth was out.?Brother-in-law doesn’t like me much in the first place. If he finds out the truth, he definitely won’t want to get involved in this matter.

“How would I know the reason?! It must be because you’re just too vicious! You didn’t spare a single one of the eight men! You—”

“Did I hear you right, Young Master Lu?” Are you saying that… I fought against all eight of them by myself and even ended up winning the fight?” Chu Liuyue laughed as if she had just heard a hilarious joke. “You think too highly of me!”

Lu Yi was hopping mad. “My men are still in my mansion. Do you dare to confront them in person?!”

“No need for that.” Chu Liuyue’s smile faded. “I believe it’d be an ugly scene, so I’m not interested.”

Hearing that, both Lin Tianfeng and Liuyue turned their heads toward Chu Liuyue.?Is she saying that…

“So you admit that it was your doing?!” Lu Yi’s face was flushed, and his eyes were burning with anger as he took a step forward.

Chu Liuyue tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear and smiled. “Since you claim that it was my doing, then it must be my doing. But then… So what?”

So what?! I’ve never met anyone as arrogant as her in Grotto-Heaven Cliff in years. Lin Tianfeng is the Lin family’s patriarch as well as Grotto-Heaven Cliff’s head, while my sister, Lu Yu’er, is my older sister as well as the Lin family’s mistress! She hurt my men, and yet she still dared to admit it in front of them? She must be truly tired of living!?Lu Yi burst out laughing in anger. “Dugu Yue, I guess you don’t know who you’re standing next to right now. You want to feign innocence after doing that sort of thing?!”

Chu Liuyue didn’t seem bothered by his threat, however. She tilted her head and crossed her arms in front of her chest before looking at Lin Tianfeng while rubbing her chin in a thoughtful manner. She asked innocently, “Master Lin, are you going to punish me?”

Lin Tianfeng was stumped.

Just then, a light voice was heard from behind. “Ms. Dugu.”

Everyone turned their heads toward the voice and saw Lin Zhifei standing tall and aloof in front of the courtyard.. “I don’t really know how to use this pill. Can I trouble you to help me take a look at it?”
