“No… Ouch… I’ll talk! I’ll talk!”

Chu Luo shook the bells and stopped the Gu worm in the man’s body.

The man panted heavily and a vicious glint flashed across his lowered eyes.

He said in a weak tone, “Come here, I’ll tell you.”

Chu Luo looked at him and sneered. When dealing with these people, she had never been as soft-hearted as she was towards ordinary people.

As soon as she felt the malice emanating from the man, she rang the bells again.

Ding dong, ding dong.

“Ahhh… Please stop shaking… Stop shaking… Ahhh…”

“Since you’re not in the mood to say it, forget it.”

“I’ll talk! I’ll talk! My master is the one who planted the Gu poison in your teacher’s brain!”

Chu Luo stopped and asked in a low voice, “Looks like you really came for me. Where is your master?”

“At…” The man hesitated.

“Speak!”

Chu Luo raised the bell again.

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk. My master followed a group of people to the northwest to look for that ancient tomb yesterday.”

Hearing this, Chu Luo frowned.

Seeing that Chu Luo didn’t move, a dark glint flashed across the man’s eyes. In the next second, he quickly threw something at her.

That thing was too fast for Chu Luo to see clearly.

Just as the man thought that she wouldn’t be able to block it this time, a red light quickly emitted from Chu Luo’s body. The red light formed a barrier and blocked that thing.

The red light illuminated the surroundings.

Chu Luo looked at the Gu worm that was moving on the ground and a murderous glint flashed across her eyes. Then, she quickly shook the bell.

“Ahhh…”

Looking at that person rolling on the ground and wailing, Chu Luo’s expression was unprecedentedly cold.

When the red light on her body disappeared, the Gu worm that had fallen by her feet had already lost its life force. That man had also been tortured by the Gu worm until he was bleeding from his seven orifices.

Chu Luo put away the bells and turned to walk towards the monastery.

She had just walked out not far when a deafening explosion suddenly came from the front. The ground beneath her feet started trembling.

Chu Luo looked over and her heart suddenly stopped. In the next second, she disappeared and appeared at the explosion.

She looked at the grape field where a huge pit had appeared due to the explosion and the few people in familiar suits lying beside her.

Chu Luo quickly looked around and was stunned. Her heart skipped a beat and she shouted, “Yan!”

In the next moment, Li Yan and Qin Ming stood up from a slope.

The moment Chu Luo saw Li Yan, she ran over and pounced on him.

Li Yan caught her petite body.

Chu Luo grabbed his collar tightly and said, “You scared me to death.”

“I’m fine.” Li Yan caressed her back and turned to look at Qin Ming. “Go see how they’re doing.”

Qin Ming walked over.

Chu Luo looked up and asked him, “What happened just now?”

“There were a few batches of people who came tonight. We chased one of them here. I didn’t expect them to bury ** here previously.”

“Could the ** on the ancient tree in the temple also be theirs?”

“It’s possible.”

“Did you see whose men it was?”

“The Qin family.”

“The Qin family!”

Chu Luo was furious. “Just now, I was lured away by a Gu Master. That Gu Master wanted to attack those tomb raiders… He said that Teacher’s Gu worm was cast by his master. His master went to the northwest yesterday.”

Li Yan said in a low voice, “We were chasing a group of Gu Masters just now. Looks like we were tricked.”

“Do you think these people aren’t from the Qin family?”

“Mm.” Li Yan let go of her and raised his hand to remove the dirt on her clothes before saying, “The Qin family isn’t so stupid to expose themselves again and again.”

“Then who?”

When Chu Luo asked this, she suddenly thought of what the Sun family had said. “Could it be someone from the Duanmu family? Everyone knows that you’re very close to the Duanmu family now.”

“Ha!” Li Yan sneered and held her hand, before walking towards Qin Ming.

As he walked, he said, “I’ll send someone to investigate them.”

After the two of them walked over, Li Yan asked Qin Ming, who was squatting there and checking on those people, “How are they?”

“They fainted.”

These people had all undergone special training. Coupled with the fact that everyone reacted quickly during the explosion, no casualties would occur under normal circumstances.

Qin Ming stood up and asked his subordinates to take away the people who had fainted.

The three of them walked towards the parking lot.

Li Yan said to Qin Ming, “Send someone to the Qin family to investigate immediately.”

Qin Ming seemed to have thought of something and nodded at him. He quickly used his communicator to contact someone.

When the three of them approached the parking lot, Qin Ming said to Li Yan, “The masters of the Qin family have all gone to the northwest. They left this morning.”

Li Yan suddenly stopped and a powerful cold aura emanated from his body.

Qin Ming snorted. “Looks like the Qin family is involved in this matter tonight. Other than the Qin family, the Duanmu family must be involved too.”

Chu Luo asked, “What’s the Qin family’s purpose in doing this?”

Li Yan: “Put up a show for the Duanmu family and deal with me while they’re at it.”

“Ha!”

The three of them stopped talking and quickly walked towards their car.

However, when they walked to the parking lot, a powerful murderous aura suddenly erupted from Qin Ming’s body. “Another car is missing.”

“What car?” Chu Luo didn’t sense any danger nearby.

Qin Ming actually took a few seconds to answer her. “The car Anya and her guard are in is gone.”

Chu Luo only remembered this matter after he mentioned it. She strode to the car that she had concealed and removed the talisman on it. The car appeared.

When Anya saw Chu Luo, she quickly asked worriedly, “Chu, did you catch that person?”

“Mm.”

Li Yan and Qin Ming walked over.

When Anya saw the soil on their bodies, she widened her eyes and asked, “Smelly… Qin, what happened to you just now?”

At this point, she thought of the huge explosion she had heard and asked worriedly, “Were you guys over there during the explosion just now?”

Qin Ming glanced at her deeply, thinking to himself: ‘Don’t think I don’t know that you wanted to call me a stinky blockhead just now.’ However, he still replied, “Yes.”

“Then are you injured?”

Qin Ming glanced at her, the look in his eyes clearly saying, ‘Can’t you tell?’.

At this moment, Li Yan said to him, “Drive this car.”

After saying that, he held Chu Luo’s hand and walked towards the car they drove over in.

When the car drove out, Li Yan said to Chu Luo, “I’ll go see Old Master tomorrow.”

Chu Luo tilted her head and looked at him. She frowned. “You want to test him?”

“It’s not a test. I want to see Old Master Duanmu’s attitude.”

Chu Luo was a little surprised.

Li Yan said, “Old Master saved my life back then and he’s our matchmaker too. As long as their family doesn’t go too far, I can tolerate it. But if their family goes too far, don’t blame me for being rude.”

He was cold to outsiders, but Old Master Duanmu had saved him back then. He would definitely repay this kindness. As for Old Master’s family, if they dared to cross his bottom line, he would definitely not be polite.

Chu Luo immediately understood what he was thinking and didn’t say anything else.

When the car drove back to the villa, it was already past midnight.

After the two of them went upstairs to wash up, Chu Luo leaned in Li Yan’s arms and said, “If the Gu Master who cast the Gu poison on Teacher really went to the northwest, I can only make a trip there. Teacher’s Gu worm must be taken out.”

Li Yan grabbed her hand and interlocked his fingers with hers. He tilted his head and kissed her forehead before saying, “My men went over there too. When that Gu Master really follows him, we’ll capture him outside the ancient tomb.”

“Mm.”

Chu Luo pressed her ear against his chest and listened to his strong heartbeat. She said, “No matter what, you’re not allowed to be injured.”

“Yes, Honey.”

…

The next day, Chu Luo and Li Yan woke up early for breakfast. Li Yan took a car to the Duanmu residence.

Chu Luo went to the villa behind and experimented with Professor Tang and the others.

At the Duanmu residence.

The moment the car stopped, he saw Old Master Duanmu’s bodyguards coming over. After Li Yan alighted, he said to him, “CEO Li, Old Master is waiting for you in the courtyard.”

These words obviously told Li Yan that Old Master Duanmu had guessed that he would come today and had specially asked his bodyguard to wait for him here.

Li Yan wasn’t surprised. He nodded at him coldly and followed him into the door.

The two of them didn’t go to the living room in front. Instead, they walked towards the backyard.

When they entered the courtyard, Duanmu Tian happened to walk over from a corridor.

Duanmu Tian watched as Li Yan followed his grandfather’s bodyguards inside. He stopped in his tracks and a dark glint flashed across his eyes. He turned around and walked to the other side.

When Li Yan and Old Master’s bodyguards walked into Old Master’s courtyard, they saw him sitting at a chess table in the courtyard, playing chess alone.

At this moment, Old Master Duanmu looked up and waved at him with a smile. He said to him kindly, “Young Li, come play with me.”

Old Master Duanmu was playing Chinese chess.

Li Yan walked over and sat down, using a chariot to eat two of Old Master’s soldiers.

Old Master Duanmu was stunned at first, then he laughed out loud. “Young Li, you’re so edgy today. Not good.”

He then used his cannon to eat Li Yan’s chariot.
