Chapter 281 - Her Capability And Her Master’s Whereabouts
The Schoolgirl Secret Agent
Right after Elder Lu uttered those words, he returned to his mirthful mien. He was quite a lively old man.
"Hahaha, young lady, have a seat and some tea. Weâre in no hurry."
Elder Lu stroked his goatee beard and pointed to a high stool for Yun Jian to sit down with a beam.
"Mm." Yun Jian followed his invitation, knowing that these matters could hardly be made clear in a word or two.
Lu Haoze stood aside quietly, like a good boy. He made Yun Jian a pot of tea and poured it out to the cup for her.
"Thank you," Yun Jian told him softly with a smile.
In response, the boy went behind Elder Lu shyly.
"Well, young lady, ask away what youâd like to know since youâre that old fellaâs disciple. Iâll tell you what I know," Elder Lu said stroking his beard as he sat down in front of Yun Jian.
Yun Jian noticed, from Elder Luâs replies, that he and her previous lifeâs master must share a significant relationship.
She did not hurry to ask. Instead, her finger rubbed the teacup gently as she let silence fill the space.
Elder Lu could not help being floored by the young girlâs tenacity.
Suddenly lifting her head, Yun Jian flashed Elder Lu a small smile. "Youâre also from Yulong Mainland."
Elder Luâs hand that had been stroking his goatee froze, not expecting the young girl to not ask a question but...
Yun Jian was making a statement, not posing a question.
"Girlie! How â how did you know!" Elder Lu patted his c.h.e.s.t as he sprang up in surprise.
"Donât be bothered by an explanation." Yun Jian grinned and stood up along the old man.
After another beat of silence, she continued. "Elder Lu, if my guess is correct, itâs not just you, everyone in the Lu Family comes from Yulong Mainland."
With her words, even Lu Haoze who stood at the side was stunned. He had never heard of Yulong Mainland but he could discern that this place must not exist on earth.
"Elder..." he could not help calling out to Elder Lu, his tone confused and in disbelief.
Elder Lu looked like he was exposed. Dropping the pretense, he answered with a deep hum, "Thatâs right. I and the entire Lu Family moved here from the Yulong Mainland."
There was a two-second pause before he continued, "But itâs been many years since Iâve moved here with the Lu Family. Your master and I, itâs also been more than twenty years since we last met!"
"But I can guarantee that he mustâve returned to Yulong Mainland since you canât find him here in this world!"
"As for anything else regarding the Yulong Mainland, itâs not my place to say it. Young lady, find out yourself if youâre fated!"
His last words were profound, laced with a long sigh.
Elder Lu left with another sigh stroking his beard after that. Yun Jian did not stop him, thinking that her trip here was still fruitful. At least, she knew her masterâs whereabouts.
Yulong Mainland. That was the other world that she had accidentally gone to when she went to the catacomb back then.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
To be honest, she was relieved at the moment she discovered her teacherâs whereabouts. She had a direction now, knowing where her master had gone to.
It was no wonder that she could not find him despite exerting all her connections and forces in her past life.
He was not even in this world.
