Chapter 1955: A Well-Intentioned Lie
Zhou Yu briefly explained the situation with Lin Luoluo.
Of course, regarding that great battle, Zhou Yu only mentioned it briefly.
In the end, Zhou Yu told Lin Chaodong and Lin Wanhao that Lin Luoluo, due to her special physique, was taken away for secluded training by a master in the Martial Arts World.
No one knows when she will return.
After hearing these words, Lin Chaodong and Lin Wanhao looked utterly stunned.
What Zhou Yu said seemed like a fantastical tale to them.
Their beloved daughter is actually a legendary Medicine Spirit Saint Body, and she was noticed by the most powerful elder in the Martial Arts World.
It was simply too incredible.
If someone else had said it, they would never have believed it.
But these words were spoken directly by Zhou Yu.
They had unconditional trust in Zhou Yu.
After all, the Lin Family’s current glory and their ability to summon rain and wind in Qinzhou, even attracting top forces from the Capital City to visit them,
it was all because of Zhou Yu’s presence.
Why would they not trust Zhou Yu?
Seeing their reaction, Zhou Yu sighed in his heart.
This was the best solution he could come up with.
Perhaps by the time Mr. Lin and Lin Wanhao grow old, Lin Luoluo might still not be back, but at least they could cling to a hope to avoid falling into immense sorrow in the future.
After a long time, Lin Chaodong was the first to come to his senses.
A look of regret flashed in his eyes, but his spirits were still high.
"Everyone has their own destiny."
"Since Luoluo has such a fortune naturally, we cannot hold her back."
"Alright, let’s not talk about it anymore."
"Xiaoyu, come, accompany grandpa for a drink."
Saying this, Lin Chaodong pulled Zhou Yu towards the dining room.
The three of them, Zhou Yu, Lin Chaodong, and Lin Wanhao, drank throughout the entire night.
Until Lin Chaodong and Lin Wanhao were thoroughly drunk and unconscious.
Bai Yulan had them helped to bed before calling Zhou Yu out.
The two stood on the villa’s terrace.
Looking at Zhou Yu, Bai Yulan said:
"Xiaoyu, tell aunty the truth, where exactly did Luoluo go?"
"Did something happen to her?"
Bai Yulan gazed intently at Zhou Yu. Although she seemed calm on the surface, Zhou Yu could sense that Bai Yulan had already guessed something.
Zhou Yu sighed in his heart.
This matter might be hidden from Lin Chaodong and Lin Wanhao, but it wasn’t so easy to hide from Bai Yulan.
After all, Bai Yulan also came from a martial arts family.
She had some understanding of many things.
Zhou Yu fell into silence, neither admitting nor denying.
Seeing this, Bai Yulan understood immediately.
Her eyes reddened, and tears immediately fell.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu quickly comforted her:
"Aunt Bai, please don’t cry. I can tell you the truth, something did happen to Luoluo, but not as you think."
"She is still alive, but her current situation is indeed a bit troublesome!"
"Actually, this time I came back to say goodbye to all of you."
"It won’t be long before I leave here and find a way to save Luoluo."
"Aunt, I promise you, I will do everything in my power to accomplish this."
Looking at the sincere Zhou Yu, Bai Yulan silently wiped her tears and then smiled.
"Xiaoyu, with your words, I am at ease!"
"However, Aunt Bai still wants to remind you, no matter what happens to Luoluo, you must protect yourself."
"Don’t risk your life."
"Some things, if destined to be so, should not be forced!"
Zhou Yu nodded.
"Aunt Bai, I know in my heart!"
Then, he glanced inside the villa.
"Aunt Bai, I have to go."
"Please explain to grandpa and Uncle Lin."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yulan’s eyes reddened again.
Though she didn’t know where exactly Zhou Yu was going,
she could intuitively feel that once Zhou Yu left, he might never return.
At this thought, her eyes filled with tears.
However, she held back from crying, instead holding Zhou Yu’s hand.
"Xiaoyu, take care of yourself!"
Zhou Yu nodded, and then, in a flash, he disappeared.
Bai Yulan watched the spot where Zhou Yu vanished, and her tears finally couldn’t be held back.
Zhou Yu appeared above the Lin Family villa.
Looking down, his nose couldn’t help but tingle.
Before leaving, he did one last thing, infusing each Lin Chaodong and the other two with a stream of Yimu True Essence.
This Yimu True Essence was enough to ensure they lived healthily and long.
This was all that Zhou Yu could do.
Now, he only hoped to return with Lin Luoluo while Lin Chaodong and the others were still alive.
After one last look at the Lin Family villa, Zhou Yu determined his direction towards the city and disappeared with a flash.
...
It was late at night.
The Bencao Tang, after a busy day, had already closed.
At this time, in the backyard of Bencao Tang,
a beautiful lady lay on a reclining chair under a tree.
She wore a cool little dress, her fair, slender legs occasionally swinging.
She stared blankly up at the night sky, her eyes full of yearning, lost in thoughts.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the night sky.
Upon seeing this figure, the lady’s eyes moved slightly, then she mumbled to herself:
"It’s that damn guy again!"
"Humph!"
"Disappeared without a sound."
"Not only did he disappear, but he keeps appearing in my dreams!"
"It’s really annoying..."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu smiled slightly.
"Shuangshuang, are you talking about me?"
Hearing the familiar voice beside her,
the lady sat up abruptly.
She rubbed her eyes, staring intently at the night sky.
The next moment, that figure descended in a flash, appearing right before her.
Seeing Zhou Yu in front of her, Li Shuangshuang was stupefied.
She gazed at Zhou Yu as if entranced, and after some time, tears suddenly welled up, and she lunged forward, into Zhou Yu’s embrace.
"Zhou Yu, it’s really you!"
"I’m not dreaming, am I?"
Feeling the soft body in his arms, Zhou Yu was deeply touched.
Li Shuangshuang was his first friend in the city, aside from Lin Luoluo.
In fact, though he called her a friend, it didn’t seem quite right.
Because his relationship with Li Shuangshuang seemed to have surpassed friendship, yet they hadn’t crossed that thin veil.
Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment before tightly embracing Li Shuangshuang.
"Shuangshuang, how have you been during this time?"
