Is this girl cultivating immortality? Yunling finds out!

Chapter 22 Buried!

Today is the day for drone test flights.

The three people in the yard gathered around the small drone on the table, their faces full of anticipation.

"Mr. Lu, please hurry up, I can't wait any longer."

Hong Dibei urged.

Hong Tianxi on the side also nodded repeatedly.

Lu Yu slowly lifted up the drone and gently turned the base switch with his fingers.

There was a "click" sound.

A blue halo swirled around the fuselage, and then the thin cicada wings began to spin rapidly.

"Watch out, it's time to take off!"

Lu Yu gathered all his strength and was about to throw the drone up.

"Hong Tianxi! Hong Dibei! Are the two of them here?!"

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the courtyard:
"The City Lord has issued a call! Both of you, come and receive it!"

Lu Yu's hand was suspended in the air. Both brothers of the Hong family were stunned, and then hurried to the gate of the courtyard.

Seeing this, Lu Yu had no choice but to put the drone back on the table and followed.

The person who came was Zhao Xiansong who came here the night before.

"This is the city lord's order. You two, go immediately."

Zhao Xiansong handed a transfer order to the two of them and turned to leave.

Lu Yu hurried forward to stop him and asked:

"Brother Zhao Zhao, can I ask you something?"

Zhao Xiansong stopped and saluted Lu Yu expressionlessly.

"What's the matter, Mr. Lu?"

"Um, has Miss Fang returned home?"

Lu Yu asked.

More than ten days have passed, but Fang Ningyu still hasn't come to see him.

Seeing that the materials collected last time were almost used up, Lu Yu couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Miss Fang returned home a few days ago."

Zhao Xiansong replied.

"Ah? You came back a few days ago?"

Lu Yu was slightly surprised, wondering why this girl didn't come to see him, but then he heard Zhao Xiansong continue:
"The Hidden Dragon Conference will be held in a month. Miss Fang is currently in seclusion preparing for the competition. Please do not disturb her unless necessary."

"Retreat? How could she be in retreat without me drawing the array pattern on her back?"

Lu Yu was confused, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only nod awkwardly.

Zhao Xiansong bowed again and left quickly with the two people from the Hong family.

Returning to the yard alone, Lu Yu was in no mood to fiddle with the drone anymore. He was only thinking about why Fang Ningyu didn't come to see him.

Not only did Fang Ningyu not come, but Bai Xiaotang didn't come either.

He didn't know many people in the City Lord's Mansion, and after the Hong family left, he felt a little lonely for a moment.

"Never mind, Ningyu might be studying array magic."

"As for Miss Bai, she is already a guest of the City Lord's Mansion. Perhaps she has taken on another mission and is out again."

Lu Yu comforted himself.

"I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll sort out the remaining materials and see if I can make something else."

Lu Yu threw away his messy thoughts, stood up and started to tidy up the yard.

"Huh? This is...?"

Under the big tree in the yard, a small transparent bottle lay in the grass.

Lu Yu picked up the vial and sniffed it gently.

Isn't this the bottle I used to store my spiritual fluid? How did one get lost here?
Just as I was wondering, there was suddenly a "thump" behind me!
It seemed like something had fallen from the tree.

Lu Yu shuddered, turned around and looked down.

"Miss Baibai?! Why are you here?"

Lu Yu hurried forward, but saw that Bai Xiaotang's eyes were closed, his eyelashes were trembling slightly, and his breathing was sometimes fast and sometimes slow. It was obvious that he had suffered serious injuries.

"Why are you hurt?!"

Lu Yu hugged Bai Xiaotang and patted her little face twice.

Bai Xiaotang moaned softly, but then there was no more movement.

"Miss Bai, let me help you into the house first."

Lu Yu rushed into the house holding Bai Xiaotang. After settling her down, he was about to turn around and call a doctor.

Suddenly, a cold little hand held me.

"Miss Bai! You're awake!"

Lu Yu turned around and saw Bai Xiaotang frowning at him, and immediately said:
"Don't worry, I'll go get someone right away!"

"No"

Bai Xiaotang squeezed out a word. Lu Yu paused, as if realizing something, and slowly sat back on the bed. Looking at Bai Xiaotang on the bed, he asked:
"Miss Bai's identity has been exposed?"

Bai Xiaotang stared at Lu Yu with complicated eyes, bit her lip lightly, and nodded slowly.

"hiss"

Lu Yu suddenly felt a headache.

But now he has come to his senses a little.

No wonder Fang Hongyi brought that lay Buddhist Changyi to him a few days ago to learn how to practice his skills.

With that woman's cultivation level at the Golden Core Realm, she would definitely be able to find out where her martial arts skills came from.

It seems that Bai Xiaotang's identity was exposed, causing him to be suspected as well.

But I should have been cleared of all charges now, but I wonder what happened to Liao Zhongnan and Liu Nanshuang?

The two of them have a deeper relationship with Bai Xiaotang, and Liu Nanshuang's martial arts skills are more easily exposed.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu hurriedly asked:
"Your senior sister and Uncle Liao."

Before he could finish his question, he saw Bai Xiaotang on the bed fainted again.

"This is trouble!"

Lu Yu felt something was wrong.

What should I do? Hand over Bai Xiaotang?

But this girl had saved his life after all, and Lu Yu really couldn't do such a thing as stabbing her in the back to protect herself.

Then leave her here to recuperate?

Please, this is the territory of the City Lord's Mansion, and I have already aroused suspicion. Maybe someone is secretly watching me. How can I hide as a living person?
At this moment, Lu Yu just wanted to dig a hole and bury Bai Xiaotang!

Wait, dig a hole?
At this time, in the study of the City Lord's Mansion.

Fang Hongyi sat at the table, looking at the flying letter from Qingling Sect, and asked:
"Have they been called back?"

Zhao Xiansong in the room bowed and replied:
"The Hong brothers have returned. I inquired through the sidelines and they don't seem to know anything."

"Um"

Fang Hongyi nodded and asked again:

"Have people been sent out?"

"Yes, I have just sent two retainers at the Foundation Establishment stage to take turns guarding Lu Yu's guest room."

"Well, retainers are enough, so there's no need to use guest officials."

Fang Hongyi slowly put away the letter on the table and said:

"Although we have confirmed that Lu Yu is indeed from a Northern Continent sect, we must not let our guard down. Have the two people in charge of surveillance report to me daily. I want to personally inquire about him."

"Yes!"

Zhao Xiansong took the order and retreated.

Fang Hongyi stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked to the window alone, muttering to himself:
"Old Liao, Old Liao, tell me, should I trust you?"

In the following days, nothing unusual happened in the City Lord's Mansion.

No one came to disturb Lu Yu.

The two people who were following him reported to Fang Hongyi on time every day.

"Then Lu Yuchen will leave the house as soon as the time comes.
Working in the smithy until noon.
Considering the time when the food was served in the kitchen, it was determined that he returned to the house to eat.
Afterwards, snoring sounds were heard from the room, probably during lunch break.
At 5 p.m., he left the house again and stayed in the blacksmith's shed until 11 p.m., then returned to the house to blow out the lamps.

After listening to his men's report, Fang Hongyi nodded and asked:
"Are there daily inspections of the house and the smelting shed?"

"We check it every day and don't find anything unusual."

"Yeah, that's good."

Fang Hongyi also felt a little relieved. After all, Lu Yu was the talent he wanted to recruit, so he naturally hoped that the other party had a clean background.

"In a few days, the Hidden Dragon Conference will begin. You two will have to work hard for a few more days. After the Hidden Dragon Conference, this mission will be completed. Then go to the Alchemy Workshop to claim your reward."

"Thank you City Lord!"

The two responded in unison.

"By the way, what is Lu Yu tinkering with in the smelting shed all day?"

Fang Hongyi asked casually.

Unexpectedly, after this question, the two originally reserved people seemed to have been triggered to speak, and immediately replied:

"City Lord! Let me tell you, what Lu Yu is tinkering with is really interesting!"

"Yes, yes, yes! It's really interesting!"

"For example, that thing flew out with a whoosh. At first I thought it was a flying sword he had forged!"

"And that one! The one Yuan Bulu threw! After he threw it out, it exploded with a bang! It scared me!"

"And more! And that! It has two wheels, one in front and one behind, and people can ride it without falling."

"."

Fang Hongyi looked at the two people who were beaming with joy, and for a moment he could not understand what they were saying. He frowned and said softly:

"What the hell?!"

The two then realized their own gaffe, and quickly shut their mouths, lowered their heads, and dared not say another word.
