“Young Master Lu, why didn’t you inform me when you arrived?” The leading enforcement officer stepped forward to greet Lu Wuchen as soon as he saw him.
“So it’s Deacon Li,” Lu Wuchen replied politely.
Deacon Li was not only an expert at the Heavenly Meridian Realm but also the person in charge of this prison. With his assistance, Lu Wuchen’s grand plan of harvesting leeks had become far more convenient and efficient.
Could these people be here to interrogate Yang’er?
Seeing their uniforms, Su Qingxue’s heart immediately tightened.
Although Lu Wuchen had assured her that he would do everything possible to save Yang’er, the world was unpredictable.
If Yang’er’s crimes were too severe, even if Young Master stepped in, what if it still did not work? What would she do then?
No matter how unforgivable Yang’er was, he was still her flesh and blood.
“Deacon Li, you’re here… could it be about Junior Brother Lin’s case?” Lu Wuchen asked.
“Young Master Lu, to be honest, I’m also troubled about Lin Tianyang’s sentencing,” Deacon Li said with a helpless expression. “His crimes are heinous and intolerable. Orders from above have instructed me to execute him publicly without delay.”
“Ah? Execute Yang’er?” Su Qingxue felt as though she had fallen into an ice cellar.
She had never expected the judgment to come so quickly.
“Young Master, please, you must save Yang’er!” Su Qingxue clutched Lu Wuchen’s arm, pleading desperately.
No matter how much of a beast Yang’er was, he was still her child.
She could not watch him die before her.
“Qingxue, don’t worry. Leave this to me,” Lu Wuchen said gently, patting her back to calm her.
He then turned to Deacon Li with a grave expression. “Deacon Li, to be frank, Lin Tianyang is my adopted son. I must ask you to show leniency.”
“Uh…” Deacon Li looked momentarily confused, but he quickly understood the situation.
Although he maintained a troubled look, inwardly he was amused. Young people really do know how to play.
“Young Master Lu, you also understand that Lin Tianyang’s crimes are extremely severe. If we do not impose strict punishment, it will be hard to convince the public.”
“Young Master…” Su Qingxue called softly, looking at Lu Wuchen with tear-filled eyes.
Lu Wuchen stroked her hair but remained silent for a moment.
“Deacon Li, those disciples died while carrying out missions. They were killed by demonic beasts. Junior Brother Lin merely happened to pass by. I will represent the sect in providing substantial compensation to their families.”
“I hope Deacon Li can make an exception.”
“Well…” Deacon Li pretended to deliberate before continuing, “Since he is Young Master Lu’s adopted son, I will find a way.”
After a pause, he added, “The death penalty may be spared, but punishment is unavoidable. Otherwise, I cannot report back to my superiors.” This chapter was copied from novelping dot com without permission.
“In that case, abolish his cultivation. That should satisfy the disciples below,” Lu Wuchen suggested.
After speaking, he glanced at Su Qingxue, as if seeking her approval.
“Yes, yes,” Su Qingxue nodded repeatedly upon hearing that Yang’er’s life could be spared.
Even if his cultivation were abolished, at least he would not kill the innocent again.
“But Young Master Lu, what about the female disciples whom Lin Tianyang drugged? How am I to explain this to them?” Deacon Li’s words made Su Qingxue’s heart leap to her throat once more.
Yang’er’s crimes were simply too many. Young Master could not possibly compensate for everything.
“Well…” Lu Wuchen fell silent and turned to Su Qingxue, seemingly waiting for her decision.
The enforcement officers also shifted their gazes toward her, as if saying, Your son committed these crimes. As his mother, how will you handle it?
“Deacon Li, I know Yang’er’s crimes are grave. I do not expect him to emerge unscathed. I only hope his life can be spared,” Su Qingxue said weakly.
“As for the female disciples who lost their innocence, they deserve an explanation.”
“Then… confiscate his instrument of crime. Let him never harm anyone again. Consider it a lesson.”
In front of everyone, Su Qingxue personally pronounced the fate of Lin Tianyang’s manhood.
A collective sharp intake of breath echoed among the men present.
This mother truly meant business.
“Deacon Li, I’ll leave this matter to you. Please handle it carefully,” Lu Wuchen said as he discreetly slipped a bottle of pills into Deacon Li’s hand.
“Oh, of course. It’s my duty,” Deacon Li replied with a broad smile after recognizing it as a bottle of 5th grade pills.
Young Master Lu was indeed generous.
“Rest assured. I know what to do.”
“Then we’ll leave it in your hands.”
After a few more instructions, Lu Wuchen left Law Enforcement Peak with Su Qingxue.
Watching Lu Wuchen walk away with the beautiful woman in his arms, Deacon Li could not help but smile faintly.
Young people truly have boundless energy.
“You all heard Young Master Lu clearly?” Deacon Li asked.
“Perform well and satisfy Young Master Lu. The benefits will be plentiful.”
“Yes!”
The disciples’ hearts filled with excitement.
Not only was this an opportunity to earn extra benefits, but if they could gain Young Master Lu’s favor, their future would be far more comfortable.
Upon returning to the Lu Family Courtyard, Su Qingxue could no longer suppress her emotions. She collapsed against Lu Wuchen and burst into tears.
“Wuwu, Young Master, without you, I wouldn’t know what to do!”
Looking at the crying woman in his arms, already more than 400 months old, Lu Wuchen comforted her gently.
“Qingxue, as long as I’m here, you have nothing to fear.”
“Young Master, from now on, Qingxue can only rely on you. Will you one day abandon me?”
This was her greatest worry.
Young Master was so outstanding, while she was merely a young widow. They belonged to different worlds.
“What nonsense are you saying? Qingxue is Young Master’s favorite,” Lu Wuchen said affectionately, stroking her head.
“If Qingxue feels uneasy, I can marry you into the Lu family immediately and make you my wife.”
Whether she was the mother of the Chosen One of Destiny did not matter. What mattered was that he liked this type.
Even without that layer of destiny buff, his pace would not slow down in the slightest.
“With those words from Young Master, that’s enough.”
“Qingxue doesn’t want to be Young Master’s wife. I only want to serve Young Master for the rest of my life.”
Hearing his promise, Su Qingxue’s heart filled with sweetness.
All the troubles brought by Lin Tianyang faded away in that instant.
With Young Master by her side, what more could she ask for?
“Young Master, Qingxue will listen to you in everything,” she said softly, her eyes filled with allure.
Their gazes met, and the sparks between them instantly ignited into a flame that would not be extinguished.
[Ding! Su Qingxue has completely lost faith in the Chosen One of Destiny. The host has plundered a large amount of Lin Tianyang’s destiny fortune.]
[Ding! the host’s cultivation has successfully broken through to the 8th stage Condensed Soul Realm.]
In stark contrast, inside the prison cell, an entirely different scene was unfolding.
