How did I, a fake bodyguard, become a terrestrial immortal?

"parking."

A familiar voice came from the alley entrance.

The moment Lu Yang lifted the carriage curtain and saw who it was, he finally understood the true value of Detective Conan.

When he was a child watching the anime, he always felt that wherever Conan went, a case followed, making him practically a walking Grim Reaper.

Whenever the familiar background music plays, he will sit up straight with great interest.

it is good!

It's time for Conan to step in again!

But now that trouble has befallen him, Lu Yang feels a headache coming on.

How long have I been in this world?

First, they were chased and killed. After finally arriving in Hanlin City, they ran into the Zhenwu Division's siege of the Qinglian Sect.

Subsequently, Bai Miyao gained a green lotus seed, the city lord's daughter was possessed by an ice silkworm, and his own Xuanwu inexplicably swallowed a worm.

Now, having just come out of the back gate of the city lord's mansion, and not even having finished walking through the alley, the Zhenwu Division's men have blocked our way again.

If things continue like this, I might as well stop calling myself a bodyguard.

He should just change his name to Conan Lu.

"Young Master Lu..."

Bai Yixin clearly recognized the voice's owner, and her face immediately paled.

She instinctively hugged Bai Miyao tightly. Bai Miyao nestled in her arms and whispered, "Mother, were they those uncles from earlier?"

Bai Yixin gently patted her back, her voice tender: "It's alright."

But the look in her eyes when she looked at Lu Yang couldn't hide her nervousness.

They had just been questioned, yet Captain Qin brought his men to block this place again. It's hard not to suspect something!

Lu Yang slowly lowered the carriage curtain.

"It seems that Captain Qin has finally realized what's happening."

Although Fang Xuan's concealment technique fooled the Soul-Illuminating Lamp, Captain Qin was clearly not someone who could be easily fooled.

The other party said there was no problem, but before leaving, they specifically warned them not to leave the city.

In retrospect, that statement wasn't a warning at all.

It was a test!

If they had stayed obediently in the city lord's mansion, the Zhenwu Division might not have taken immediate action.

But no sooner had they left than Captain Qin and his men blocked the alleyway.

How can this be explained?

It's like getting caught cheating and still stubbornly insisting on your innocence!

Lu Yang took a deep breath, lifted the carriage curtain, bent down, and climbed out.

"Stay inside and don't come out."

Bai Yixin quickly grabbed his sleeve: "Young Master Lu..."

"Don't worry." Lu Yang patted the back of her hand and grinned, "Their knives aren't necessarily dull!"

Bai Yixin opened her mouth, but before she could speak, Lu Yang had already pulled back his sleeve and jumped off the carriage.

The moment his feet touched the ground, a profound aura slowly emerged from his body.

Very good. Since resolving the Ice Silkworm incident, my cultivation technique seems to have become more flexible.

As if knowing that Lu Yang was going to fight, the Xuanwu pattern on its back trembled slightly.

Although he currently knows neither swordsmanship nor movement techniques.

It also doesn't have any dazzling martial arts skills.

But he's very resilient!

If a fight were to break out, he would simply need to block the alleyway and let Bai Yixin drive the carriage away first.

As for the people of the Zhenwu Division...

Let them cut it.

Once they're tired of chopping, I'll give each of them a big slap across the face!

The plan was simple and straightforward, but it suited Lu Yang perfectly.

......

At the narrow alley entrance, Captain Qin, accompanied by several black-armored constables, blocked their path.

Each of them had a sword hanging from their waist, and their black armor gleamed with a cold light.

The gates of the courtyards on both sides of the alley were already tightly closed, and even the stray cats that used to be sunbathing on the walls had disappeared without a trace.

Captain Qin stood at the front, his right hand on the hilt of his sword, his gaze passing over the coachman and landing on Lu Yang.

Upon seeing Lu Yang clearly, a hint of undisguised surprise appeared on his perpetually cold face.

"Master Lu? Thank goodness you're still alive!"

"That's wonderful."

Lu Yang's expert-like posture froze instantly.

Not a buddy?

What kind of reaction is that?

Weren't you here to arrest me?

Why do you look at me like I'm your savior?

Lu Yang looked at Captain Qin suspiciously: "Captain Qin, do you always act this happy before arresting people in your Zhenwu Division?"

"You don't actually have sales figures, do you?"

Qin Xiaowei did not answer, but turned his gaze to Fang Xuan beside the carriage.

The initial surprise vanished instantly.

Instead, there was a bone-chilling cold.

Fang Xuan stood beside the carriage, showing no surprise at the sudden appearance of the Zhenwu Division.

Lu Yang observed their reactions and a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

Between these two people...

There's definitely something wrong!

"Captain Qin"

Fang Xuan spoke first, his tone still calm: "We have already been questioned. What brings you to our road?"

Sorry! I have no obligation to answer!

Qin Xiaowei did not answer or question.

His right hand suddenly gripped the knife hilt tightly.

Clang!

Draw your sword!

A clear, sharp clang of a knife suddenly rang out in the narrow alley.

Lu Yang's pupils suddenly contracted.

The next instant, the bluestone slab beneath Captain Qin's feet suddenly cracked open.

His figure transformed into a black afterimage, rushing straight towards Fang Xuan!

So fast!

Lu Yang only felt a blur before his eyes, and Qin Xiaowei had already passed him.

From drawing his sword to striking, not a single word was wasted.

There wasn't even time for anyone to react.

Lu Yang was startled: "Captain Qin, what are you doing?!"

He instinctively reached out, trying to stop Captain Qin.

However, his Xuanwu Zhenyue Body is good at guarding and defending.

In terms of speed, Lu Yang was not even as fast as a rank-one martial artist, let alone the exceptionally strong Captain Qin.

He had barely raised his hand when Captain Qin rushed in front of Fang Xuan.

Fang Xuan cannot die!

Bai Miyao's Azure Lotus Dao Seed still needs him to suppress it!

Even if this pretty boy was hiding a secret, even if his eagerness to take everyone to the Valley of a Thousand Flowers wasn't entirely innocent...

At least so far, he has indeed saved Bai Miyao.

More importantly, only he knew how to completely eliminate the Azure Lotus Seed.

"Brother Fang, get out of the way!" Lu Yang shouted.

Fang Xuan stood still, his movements unusually sluggish.

There was no panic on his face; he simply turned his head slightly and looked at Lu Yang.

There was a hint of regret in those calm eyes.

puff!

The next moment, the blade pierced his body.

The sword in Qin Xiaowei's hand pierced Fang Xuan's chest without any resistance.

The gleaming blade pierced through his back, leaving a trail of crimson blood droplets.

"Fang Xuan!" Lu Yang's expression changed drastically.

Bai Yixin gasped in surprise in the carriage and quickly covered Bai Miyao's eyes.

Fang Xuan looked down at the horizontal blade piercing his chest.

He opened his mouth, and blood slowly trickled down the corner of his lips, dripping onto his moon-white robe, spreading into a glaring red stain...

But there was no pain on his face; instead, a slow smile appeared: "You found out..."

As soon as the sound faded, a sudden change occurred!

Suddenly, a wisp of black smoke emerged from the wound pierced by the blade.

It was like a red-hot iron being dropped into cold water, making a hissing sound that made your teeth ache.

The black smoke grew thicker and thicker.

Fang Xuan's skin seemed to be scorched by some invisible flame, and it collapsed rapidly.

Beneath the torn skin, there is no flesh or blood!

Only billowing, pitch-black smoke!

Lu Yang stood frozen in place, watching helplessly as Fang Xuan's body gradually dissipated.

In just a few breaths, Fang Xuan, who had been standing next to the carriage, had completely disappeared.

There were no corpses or bloodstains on the ground.

Not even a scrap of clothing remained...

Captain Qin slowly withdrew his sword; the blade remained gleaming, without a trace of blood.

Apart from the sound of Captain Qin sheathing his sword, there was only deathly silence...

Lu Yang looked at the empty ground, then at Captain Qin standing with his sword, his mind a complete mess.

Holy crap?! What kind of crazy plot twist is this?!
