How to capture the evil villain? I choose to be his mother!

Chapter 531 The Useless Female Supporting Character's Sword Master Mother (34 pages)
Lu Yu felt somewhat embarrassed.

As the lord of a city, he was also a renowned genius of a sect and a prodigy of the Lu family.

Wherever he went, Lu Yu was always treated as a guest of honor and was rarely scolded to his face.

But the person in front of him was Yuanzhu, his lord.

He could never refuse what the ruler asked him to do.

"understood."

Lu Yu's expression tightened. He took a step forward and bowed deeply in Zhu Wen's direction.
"I am truly sorry. I was unaware of your identity and thus offended you unintentionally. I hope you will forgive me."

Zhu Wen chuckled:
"Oh……"

He drew out his words, then said lightly,
"I don't forgive."

Lu Yu was stunned.

Even the indifferent Lord Yuanhan of the continent looked at it.

Zhu Wen's expression remained unchanged. He nodded and said, word by word:
"I don't forgive. Do I need to say it a third time?"

Lu Yu felt a chill run down his spine:

"……Do not."

Yuan Han turned around:
"Why? Fellow Daoist, do you intend to punish Lu Yu?"

"Punishment, perhaps, but I don't want it right now."

Zhu Wen's attitude can be summed up in one word: casual.

They say they want to forgive, but they're unwilling to forgive directly.

They said they would take revenge, but they haven't done so yet.

It's like a guillotine hanging over your head at any moment.

Nobody knows when it will fall.

Nobody knows if it will fall down.

Because it is unknown, there is fear.

Lu Yu suddenly understood.

He looked at Zhu Wen with deep fear, and understood her thoughts—

She wanted to cut flesh with a dull knife, torturing it little by little.

The person in front of me is definitely not the kind and approachable person that appears with that smiling face.

They... have probably provoked a very terrifying and manipulative person.

But how exactly did Mingmiao get involved with this kind of person?

Lu Yu looked at Ming Miao in confusion, but saw that she had no expression and was not arrogant after gaining power.

He was even more confused.

At this moment, Zhu Wen had already turned around and called to Ming Miao:
"Let's go, it's too boring here."

Mingmiao let out a soft breath and walked to stand beside Zhu Wen.

She didn't look at Lu Yu and Qiao Lan at all from beginning to end.

Yuan Han, puzzled, called out to Zhu Wen:
"Fellow Daoist, please wait. Why not come to my Nine Dragons Divine Universe Pavilion for a chat?"

Zhu Wen, with her back to him, waved:
"No, I'm not interested."

Those around them gasped in shock.

No one could have imagined that someone in this world would refuse the Lord of the Western Continent!

But upon closer reflection, the person who refused was another peak Mahayana stage cultivator, so it doesn't seem so hard to understand.

This is probably the demeanor of a strong person...

The crowd parted automatically, watching Zhu Wen and his group leave until their figures completely disappeared.

Rejected, Yuan Shuang stood silently for a while before leaving.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and lazily looked at Lu Yu:
"Take care of it."

Lu Yu nodded bitterly:

"……understood."

Yuan Shuang's figure turned into a cloud of ice mist and disappeared.

The others were still confused, wondering what Yuan Shuang wanted Lu Yu to deal with.

Until Lu Yu called out to the anxious Zhao Yun:

"Xiao Zhao, would you mind if we talked?"

Zhao Yun had no idea what was going to happen and was still feeling fortunate.

From the moment she learned that Zhu Wen was a Mahayana stage expert, she knew she was doomed. As the one who stirred up trouble, she was bound to be the first to be targeted.

She just didn't expect that Zhu Wen wouldn't even glance at her before leaving.

The strong don't bother to pay attention to the ants under their feet... that's fine.

What about Lu Mingmiao? Why is she so calm?
After feeling relieved, Zhao Yun became insanely jealous, wishing she were the one who had managed to get close to a peak Mahayana stage expert.

Lost in these thoughts, she was completely unaware of the murderous intent rising in Lu Yu's eyes.

Lu Zhuangzhuang, who was standing to the side, saw this, but she didn't say a word from beginning to end.
-
The news of the sudden appearance of Zhu Wen, a powerful cultivator at the Mahayana stage, spread throughout the capital in an instant.

"I heard she met with the Yuan Lord! The atmosphere between them was very unpleasant!"

"It seems that the Lu family has offended this gentleman, but the Yuan Lord did not stand up for the Lu family, but instead made Lu Yu apologize."

"Why is this happening? Isn't City Lord Lu Yu known for his skill in social maneuvering?"

"It seems the Lu family's daughter was switched at birth. That fake heiress is now working for Lord Zhu Wen."

"Oh, this is awkward. Who knew that the fake heiress would suddenly rise to prominence?"

"So, what is the background of this Lord Zhu Wen? How does his strength compare to that of the Yuan Lord?"

"Who knows? Maybe... we'll see them fight this time?"

"Does our continental lord know about this news?"

"The Lord of the Continent knows everything."

"..."

There are endless topics related to congratulations.

Along with Mingmiao's name, she also became famous.

On the very day that Zhu Wen and his companions returned to their lodging courtyard, people from Daoying Peak came to visit them in person.

Zhu Wen was too lazy to be polite with people, so he asked Secretary Wang to send them away.

Turning his head, Zhu Wen saw Ming Miao standing by the window, looking dazed and lost in thought.

Zhu Wen stepped forward and patted her soft head:
"What's wrong? Not happy?"

Mingmiao pursed her lips:

"I just... found myself not as happy as I thought I would be."

She had actually imagined that if she were to stand in front of her parents again, she would definitely be glamorous and never let herself look destitute.

But when that day actually came, she only felt sad.

Because she could clearly feel that her parents' hearts were gradually shifting away.

Oh no, perhaps it had already shifted, but she's only just realizing it now.

Zhu Wen smiled and said meaningfully:
"Perhaps many years from now, you will find that all the troubles you have today are not worth mentioning."

Mingmiao puffed out her cheeks:
"I hope that day comes soon."

I don't know when that day will come.

Anyway, the Heavenly Pride Tournament is here.

Zhu Wen knew that her fame was undeniable, and everyone around her would be under intense scrutiny.

Therefore, she specifically asked Secretary Wang to arrange accommodation for Chu Yi, and also required him to keep his distance from her and pretend not to know her until the end of the Tianjiao Dahu event.

I'm so happy to be living in the same courtyard as Zhu Wen in the first year of junior high: ? ? ?
His expression quickly fell, his face clearly showing his unhappiness.

But he dared not object to Zhu Wen's arrangement, so he could only quietly squat under the corridor and pretend not to hear.

Zhu Wen stepped forward with a smile:
“I know you heard me, don’t play dumb.”

On the first day of the lunar new year, I bent down to count the ants.

Zhu Wen helplessly:

"There's still a long road ahead."

First year of junior high school, brushing the ground and looking up:

"You're willing to let me follow you?"

I hope you find this amusing:

"If I don't allow it, will you listen to me?"

The first-year student actually thought for a moment before saying:
"Yes, I'll be very obedient. I won't follow you directly... but I'll hide quietly and follow you secretly."

He was extremely focused, practically staring intently at Zhu Wen.

Zhu Wen couldn't help but laugh—

Is it considered "stealing" to say these things openly in front of her?
