Peerless Tang Sect: Bind to God King Tang San at the beginning

Chapter 167 Zhu Lu's Thanks

One month later, Shrek City.

Deng Mu got off the carriage and walked towards Shrek Academy.

As soon as he walked into the college gate, a familiar smell hit him in the face, and Deng Mu quickened his pace.

Just as he passed by a lawn, a familiar figure came into view.

Zhu Lu was sitting alone on a bench by the lawn, looking lonely. Her eyes showed deep fear and anxiety, and she looked very haggard.

During this period, she had been living in fear, fearing that someone from the White Tiger Duke's family would find Dai Huabin's body and discover that she was involved in Dai Huabin's death.

The elders in the family sent people to question her several times to confirm whether Dai Huabin’s disappearance was related to her.

Deng Mu's heart moved, and he remembered what happened to Dai Huabin before.

It is estimated that Zhu Lu was worried that Dai Huabin's body would be discovered. As long as Zhu Lu handled it well, this matter would not be discovered by others.

Zhu Lu was sitting on a bench, and her eyes, which had been drooping, were inadvertently raised, just meeting Deng Mu's gaze.

Her body shook slightly, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, and a trace of panic and expectation flashed in her eyes.

"Deng Mu..." Zhu Lu called softly.

Now Deng Mu is her only lifeline. She has heard about Deng Mu's affairs and only Deng Mu can save her.

Deng Mu nodded slightly, walked over to sit beside her, and asked softly, "Zhu Lu, are you okay?"

Zhu Lu smiled bitterly and shook her head. "How can I be fine? Ever since Dai Huabin disappeared, the Duke of White Tiger's family has sent people to question me many times. I always feel that they have begun to doubt me."

During this period, she often had nightmares at night, dreaming that they discovered her and executed her.

Deng Mu thought for a moment and then asked, "Don't panic. As long as the body is handled properly, they won't have any evidence and can't do anything to you. How did you handle it?"

Zhu Lu took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and slowly said, "I burned his clothes, then destroyed his face, and found several places to bury the body."

Deng Mu listened to Zhu Lu's description, nodded slightly, and thought to himself that this way of handling the matter did increase the difficulty for others to identify the body to a certain extent.

"You've done a pretty thorough job, but the Duke's family will definitely not give up easily. Did they ask you any special questions or hint at anything?" Deng Mu looked at Zhu Lu, wanting to hear more useful information.

Zhu Lu shuddered as she recalled the interrogations. "They asked a lot of details about the last time Dai Huabin and I met, like what we talked about and where we went. They also hinted to me that if I knew anything, I should tell them quickly, or I'd get into big trouble."

Deng Mu frowned. "It seems they have listed you as a key suspect. You must be more careful in the coming period. Try not to go out alone, and don't discuss this matter with others in the academy."

Zhu Lu nodded repeatedly, her eyes filled with anxiety: "Deng Mu, I'm really scared. If they find out, I hope you can protect me."

Deng Mu patted Zhu Lu's shoulder and looked at her: "Don't worry, as long as you don't tell anyone, I will naturally protect you and won't let anything happen to you."

After all, he was the one who killed the person, so as long as Zhu Lu didn't sell him out, he would naturally protect Zhu Lu.

Looking at Zhu Lu's expression, she definitely wouldn't dare to say it out loud. If she did, she would surely die.

She immediately told the people in the Duke of Baihu's Mansion that Zhu Lu might be fine, but so much time has passed.

Zhu Lu couldn't bear it anymore. If she told the people in the Duke of Baihu's mansion, she would be doomed too.

Zhu Lu still felt a little uneasy after hearing Deng Mu's words. Deng Mu took out the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone and said to Zhu Lu, "Take this. You are now a member of the Tang Sect. I'm giving you something to put your mind at ease."

At first he didn't understand why Youyou gave him the Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bones. After seeing Zhu Lu, he thought about it and felt that he could cultivate Zhu Lu.

Zhu Lu listened to Deng Mu's words and looked at the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone in Deng Mu's hand with some confusion on her face.

Seeing that Zhu Lu didn't recognize the Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone, Deng Mu explained to her, "This is the Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone. Zhu Zhuqing used it back then."

Zhu Lu widened her eyes, looking at the Narcissus Jade Bone in Deng Mu's hand with shock and surprise.

Hearing that Zhu Zhuqing had also taken it, she knew very well that it was definitely not an ordinary product.

"Deng Mu, this... this is too precious, how can I accept it?" Zhu Lu's voice trembled slightly. On the one hand, she couldn't believe this generous gift, and on the other hand, she was deeply touched by Deng Mu's actions.

Some of the fear in my heart gradually turned into other emotions.

Deng Mu handed the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone to Zhu Lu, his eyes gentle: "Take it, follow me well, I will make you a strong man, don't worry about the revenge of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion or the Zhu family."

Zhu Lu took Narcissus's jade bones with trembling hands and held them tightly in her arms, as if she was holding the turning point of her fate.

She raised her head, tears glistening in her eyes, and looked at Deng Mu with gratitude and trust in her eyes.

It is said that after Zhu Zhuqing took the Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone, her level increased by 7 levels and her talents changed.

With the Narcissus Jade Muscles and Bones, her level can be improved. Seeing her level improve so quickly, the family will take action to protect her.

"Deng Mu, I... I really don't know how to repay you." Zhu Lu's voice was choked, and at this moment, no words could express her inner feelings.

Listening to Zhu Lu's words, Deng Mu felt a little embarrassed. He killed her fiancé, and now the other party is thanking him.

If Dai Huabin knew about this, he would probably be so angry that he would come back to life.

No, Dai Huabin didn't make it back to life. He had been dismembered by Zhu Lu.

Deng Mu patted Zhu Lu's shoulder and said softly, "Don't say that. We are all in this together. Keep it well for now and take it in the dormitory. Improving your strength is the most important thing."

Zhu Lu nodded vigorously and carefully placed the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone close to her body.

Thinking of the narcissus jade-like body that Deng Mu had given her, Zhu Lu hesitated for a moment, and then seemed to have finally mustered up the courage. She tilted her head slightly and quickly kissed Deng Mu on the cheek.

Then, her face instantly turned red, like a ripe apple.

Without waiting for Deng Mu to react, she turned around and ran towards the dormitory like a frightened little rabbit, her steps hurried and stirring up a breeze.

"emmmm..."

Deng Mu stood there in a daze, his hand unconsciously touching the cheek that was kissed, his face full of surprise.

He never expected Zhu Lu to do such a thing. He felt mixed emotions, embarrassment and surprise.

Looking at Zhu Lu's receding back, he was a little at a loss for a moment.
