Chapter 204: A Rippling Effect

"Senior Brother Lu!"

"Senior Brother Lu!"

The pair leapt to their feet instantly and turned their heads in unison. There was a hint of hesitation in their expectant tone.

Lu Yuanqing had a blue cotton robe on and wore his hair in a top bun in the Taoist style. His expression was peaceful and mild, as if nothing had changed. Seeing the two in the courtyard, he cupped his hands slightly and smiled. "I see I have troubled two Junior Brothers with the job."

"Not at all, not at all. It's our pleasure."

The one from the Nangong Sect paused a little and swallowed despite himself. "Senior Brother, did, did you…"

"It was only by sheer luck," he replied tactfully.

Boom!

The succinct answer resonated in their ears like a solemn announcement, so loud that it could make the deaf ear hear and the dim-sighted see.
