Under One Person: The Taoist Priest Descends the Mountain

Chapter 361 Clan Chief Lü Liang? Dream on!

Cheng Mo's lips twitched. This little brat, she's got a whole repertoire of tricks up her sleeve.

Xia He whispered in Cheng Mo's ear, "With Huanhuan's acting skills, it's a pity she's not an actress."

Cheng Mo glanced at her: "Your acting is pretty good too. Why don't you become a big star and make a lot of money to support me?"

Xia He rolled her eyes at him.

Lu Huan laughed even harder, turning to Cheng Mo: "Brother Cheng, look, Brother Lu Liang's Dual-Hand Technique has reverted to the Soul-Clearing Technique, and he's even lost the memories of the Dual-Hand Technique."

Cheng Mo nodded.

Lü Liang looked at this person and then at that person: "Dual-wielding skills? What dual-wielding skills? What are you talking about?"

"Alright, alright, stop thinking about it." Lü Huan took Lü Liang's arm. "Brother Lü Liang, now only the two of us in the Lü family know the Soul Clarity Technique, so you have to lead everyone well."

Three big question marks floated above Lü Liang's head: "What do you mean only the two of us know the Soul Manipulation Technique? Xiao Huan, what are you talking about? What happened to the Lü family? Where are the others?"

Lü Huan offered little explanation, simply smiling happily.

Cheng Mo leaned closer and asked, "Xiao Huan, did you not retain any memories?"

Lu Huan shook her head, released Lu Liang's arm, and put her hands behind her back: "I only witnessed Lu Liang's memories as an observer, so the impact wasn't as great as it was from Great-Grandma's perspective."

Cheng Mo had previously discussed the issue of memory erasure with Lü Huan. Even if Lü Liang successfully awakened the Dual Hands, it would be difficult for him to completely erase Lü Huan's memories.

Cheng Mo frowned: "So, your previous memories haven't been completely erased? Should we have Lü Liang help you clear them again?"

Lü Liang frowned, looking completely bewildered: "What do you mean?"

Clearly, Lü Huan had thoroughly cleaned up Lü Liang's mess; the guy knew nothing about it anymore.

Lu Huan shook her head and answered Cheng Mo's question: "No need. Brother Lu Liang's ability is not enough to completely extract my memories. I can no longer feel my great-grandmother's emotions back then. There are only occasional fragments of memories. By the time Brother Lu Liang can do it, I will have gotten used to it. So, it's okay."

Xia He hugged Lü Huan tightly, her voice soft: "You've worked hard, Huanhuan."

Lü Huan leaned against Xia He's chest, shaking her head with a smile, the smile in her eyes much deeper than before: "It's not hard work."

Lu Liang was going crazy, his hair a complete mess from pulling it out of his skin: "What the hell are you guys talking about?!"

Lü Huan broke free from Xia He's embrace, turned around and took Lü Liang's arm, saying with a grin, "It's okay. Let's go find Great-Grandpa and ask him to clear your name."

Lu Liang was taken aback: "Restore what reputation? I was suspected because you fell off the cliff and disappeared. Now that you're back, who would suspect me?"

Lü Huan smiled but didn't say anything, and pulled Lü Liang towards the village.

Lü Liang felt that something was not right, and one question after another popped into his mind, but he could not find the answer to any of them.

Cheng Mo and Xia He exchanged a glance, unable to suppress the smiles on their faces.

When the four returned to the village, the people from Na Du Tong were still busy. The members of the Lü family were all behaving themselves, with no one causing trouble or complaining, and they all cooperated with the Na Du Tong staff.

Lü Huan pulled Lü Liang through the crowd and found Lü Ci: "Great-Grandpa! I've brought Brother Lü Liang back. From now on, you can rest assured and stay in the nursing home. With Brother Lü Liang in the Lü family, everything will be fine."

Lu Ci paused, looked at Lu Huan, then at Lu Liang, and frowned: "Xiao Huan, aren't you staying in the village?"

Lu Huan shook her head: "I told you before that I want to live outside. I want to see more of the world. Grandpa, can you come with me then?"

Lu Ci was silent for a moment, then reached out and touched Lu Huan's head gently and slowly: "Xiao Huan, it's good that you have this idea. Your great-grandfather supports you."

Lu Liang's mouth gaped open, his eyes widened, and his jaw nearly dropped to the ground before he finally reacted: "Great-Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Ci turned to look at Lu Liang, his expression changing from kind to serious, and slapped Lu Liang on the back of the head: "What? What's wrong? You've been fooling around outside for so long, and you finally know to come back?"

Lu Liang rubbed the back of his head, grimacing, "No, Great-Grandpa, you just said you were going to a nursing home? Aren't you living comfortably in the village? Why do you want to go to a nursing home? And if you're going to the nursing home, why are you going out with Xiao Huan again?"

Lu Ci waved his hand dismissively: "Do I need to report my business to you? You just mind your own business."

Lü Huan laughed and chimed in, "Great-Grandpa, don't say that about Brother Lü Liang. He's going to be the clan leader someday."

Lü Liang's mouth gaped open even wider: "Huh? What clan leader? How old am I to be a clan leader already?"

Lu Ci slapped him again: "Dream on! Lu Zhong is temporarily acting as clan leader, you better learn from him!"

Lu Liang rubbed the back of his head and replied with a pitiful "Oh."

Cheng Mo waved to Lü Ci: "Old Lü, bye-bye."

Lu Ci cupped his hands in thanks: "Xiao Cheng, Xiao Xia, thank you so much for this trip."

Xia He couldn't help but burst out laughing. "We tricked you and you still have to thank us? I really couldn't help it!"

Lü Ci didn't seem to mind, and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, saying, "Have a safe journey."

Xia He suppressed a laugh and looked at Lü Huan: "Huanhuan, are you coming with us?"

Lü Huan shook her head: "I'll come after I've settled my great-grandfather in."

Xia He waved her hand: "Goodbye then, Huanhuan."

Lu Huan waved vigorously, a bright smile on her face: "Goodbye, Brother Cheng, Sister Xia!"

Cheng Mo and Xia He turned and walked out of the village.

Has the matter with the Lü family ended? Actually, no. Some people who are used to being in control will not allow someone as threatening as Lü Huan to be restrained by morality alone. From now on, the Lü family will be under long-term surveillance.

If Lü Huan leaves the Lü family, Na Du Tong or some other department will inevitably monitor him secretly.

In fact, from the moment Cheng Mo decided to get involved in the Lü family's affairs without intending to cooperate directly with Na Du Tong, Lü Huan was already linked to him. In other words, if Lü Huan committed any crimes in the future, Cheng Mo would have to bear joint responsibility.

However, Cheng Mo didn't have any objections to this. His main concern was how Qu Tong would deal with Lü Huan after she found out. Therefore, he gave Lü Huan a unique communicator before he left.

As for the rest, we'll wait for progress from Lao Ma's side before discussing it further.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Lü Liang scratched his head and turned to Lü Huan, asking, "Xiao Huan, what's going on with those two people? And who are these strangers in our village?"

Lu Ci answered for Lu Huan: "These are people from Na Du Tong. Our family's Minghun Technique has a problem, and Na Du Tong helps us solve it."

Lü Liang frowned: "Is that so?"

Lu Huan nodded vigorously, his face serious: "That's right, Brother Lu Liang. Everyone else's Soul-Clearing Technique is gone, and you're the only one left. So you have to protect yourself and never leave the village again."

Lü Liang felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He thought for a long time, but couldn't find the answers to any of the questions in his mind. Finally, he gave up trying to figure it out and nodded resolutely to Lü Ci: "I understand."

Seeing Lü Liang's resolute expression, Lü Huan suppressed her laughter.

After Cheng Mo and Xia He left Lüjia Village, Cheng Mo took out his phone, found the landline number of Liangyi Temple, and dialed it.

The call connected.

A familiar child's voice came from the other end of the phone, clear and bright: "Feed?"

Cheng Mo was taken aback: "Guoguo? Why did you answer the phone? Where's Master?"

The other end of the phone erupted in chaos. Guoguo's voice, far beyond the receiver, screamed, "It's Senior Brother! Senior Brother's on the phone!"

Xia He took out her phone and glanced at the time: "It's already August. Guo Guo and the others must have gone to the temple for vacation."

As soon as I finished speaking, several little ones burst into the phone, chattering like a flock of sparrows.

"Senior brother, sister!"

"Sister, senior brother!"

Where are you?

Cheng Mo pressed the speakerphone button, and the sounds from the phone became even more lively. He called out the children's names one by one: "Xiao Guang, Guo Guo, Yue Yue, Duo Duo, and where's Er Zhuang? I can't hear her voice."

The little ones answered eagerly, their voices overlapping and indistinguishable.

Duoduo shouted the loudest, "Erzhuang is home!"

"Sister Erzhuang also told us to go to Northeast China during winter vacation, where we can build snowmen and have snowball fights!" This was Guoguo's voice.

"Sister Yushan says that stewed goose in an iron pot is the best." This is Yueyue's opinion.

Xiao Guang quickly chimed in, "But Sister Erzhuang also said that the geese are very powerful, and we have to catch them ourselves."

Guoguo retorted, "Geese should be similar to ducks, right? You can just grab them by the neck."

Yueyue disagreed: "The goose is bigger than the duck, and its wingspan is longer than mine."

Duoduo chimed in: "Last time I saw Li Xueting from our class being chased for two blocks by her dog."

Guoguo pressed on, "What happened next?"

Duoduo said, "Later, her grandma stewed the goose."

Xiao Guang asked again, "Is it delicious?"

Duoduo thought for a moment: "Li Xueting said she couldn't chew it."

Yueyue said in a serious tone, "It must be because her grandma's cooking is bad."

Guoguo nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes, last time my dad went on a business trip to Northeast China, he said that the stewed goose in an iron pot tasted really good."

Duoduo added, "Yeah, last time Li Xueting brought us mooncakes made by her grandma, Zhang Kexin and Li Haorui both broke their teeth."

On the other end of the phone, Cheng Mo and Xia He listened to the girls chatting and laughed so hard their mouths almost split open. They completely forgot what they were going to say when they first called. The little ones were still chattering away happily. — Wang Ye was having a bit of a headache at Wudang Mountain.
