C279 The Main Culprit
C279 The Main Culprit
Lu Lingwei was a little hesitant.
She looked at Lu Qianzhen who was lying on the bed.
Half an hour ago, Lu Qianzhen's entire body was withered, and even his breathing was so weak that it was almost non-existent.
Now, after Lu Zhirou's spell, not only did Lu Qianzhen's face recover red, but his skin also became as smooth as a young man's.
This... Is he really recovered?
"Then Sister Zhirou, why hasn't my dad woken up yet?" Lu Lingwei asked.
Lu Zhirou said, "Your father's essence was sucked dry by the Charm Spirit. It is already very fortunate that he was able to save his life. As for waking up, he had to wait a little longer. Half an hour short, three days and three nights long. "
No matter how long it takes, he'll still wake up.
Lu Lingwei let out a sigh of relief.
"Don't celebrate too early. The culprit of this matter has yet to be found. Your father will be in danger again at any time." Lu Zhirou said with a solemn expression.
Lu Lingwei's heart was lifted once again.
"The main culprit? Why is there a main culprit? Weren't you the one who killed the Charm Spirit just now?"
"That Charm Spirit is just a puppet. After killing it, you will only be able to retrieve your father's blood essence, but it won't be able to eliminate any hidden dangers."
Lu Lingwei's heart instantly turned cold.
Killing one Charm Spirit was not enough, so why was there another culprit?
What kind of sin did her father commit to actually cause such a huge disaster?
Lu Zhirou held the porcelain bottle and began to slowly wander around the room.
As she spun, she even muttered something.
It seemed like she was chanting some kind of incantation.
Lu Lingwei did not dare to make a sound and obediently stood by the side.
Her heart almost reached her throat and her eyes.
"Here!"
After more than ten minutes, Lu Zhirou finally stopped and stood by the bed.
"Here? What's so special about this place?" Lu Lingwei was puzzled.
Lu Zhirou did not respond. She bent down and grabbed the empty pillow beside Lu Qianzhen.
She saw a little rabbit that was folded in paper under the pillow.
It was lifelike and looked very delicate. It had a kind of ingenious beauty.
"Why is there a little rabbit here? My parents never liked this kind of thing!" Lu Lingwei was getting more and more confused.
She often came into this room and had never seen this little paper rabbit before.
Why... Why was it suddenly pressed under the pillow of her parents?
"I'm afraid I can only ask your parents!" Lu Zhirou said.
"Lingwei, you just said that your father has recovered. Is that true?"
As the two of them were pondering, Han Ping suddenly pushed open the door and entered.
When she received Lu Lingwei's call in Star Academy, she rushed back in a hurry and did not dare to delay a second.
Fortunately, she had finally made it in time.
"Eh, Zhirou?"
Han Ping found that there was an extra person in the room and could not help but be a little surprised.
"Why are you back? I didn't hear your parents mention it before."
In Lu family, except for the three rooms where Lu Qianyuan lived, the other two rooms, including Lu Zhenhua, were all living in Lu mansion.
They said they were here for fun.
As a result, Han Ping and Lu Zhirou's parents were very close to each other.
If there was anything, they would share it with each other.
But this time... she really did not hear the couple from the Lu family mention about Lu Zhirou coming back.
"Second Aunt."
Lu Zhirou politely called out, "This time when we go down the mountain, it was really sudden, so we did not inform our family in advance. It made Second Aunt worry."
Her words were still considered respectful, and Han Ping was very satisfied.
"We are all family, why are you so polite?"
She smiled and turned to ask, "Then how long are you going to stay for when you come back this time?"
Ever since Lu Zhirou went to the mountain to cultivate the mysterious cultivation technique, her time at home had been extremely short.
She only came back once every year and a half.
Every time she came back, she would leave in a short three to five days.
Therefore, there was nothing wrong with her asking at this moment.
"I won't leave after coming back this time. I'll stay at home to accompany you guys." Lu Zhirou replied gently.
"No... You will not leave?" Han Ping was a little surprised.
That year, that master had said that for Lu Zhirou's future, she must stay on the mountain for the rest of her life.
Why did he suddenly come home and not leave?
Lu Zhirou could see the doubt in her heart.
She smiled and slowly opened her mouth, "Master said that with my talent, I have already cultivated to the peak. There is no meaning in staying on the mountain anymore, so he let me down to train."
"So that's the case. Okay, I'll go to the kitchen now and ask them to prepare some of your favorite dishes, Wang Yao said."
Han Ping said and was about to leave.
Lu Zhirou suddenly called out to her.
"Wait!"
"What's the matter? Do you have anything you want to eat? Then tell me, I'll ask the kitchen to cook it later. "
Lu Zhirou shook her head and walked over.
"Second Aunt, I want to ask, do you know this thing?"
She took out an item and placed it in her palm.
Han Ping took a closer look and found that it was none other than the little paper rabbit Lu Qi gave her a while ago.
Her heart could not help but panic.
"You... Why are you asking this? This... Is there... a problem with this thing?"
Seeing her reaction, Lu Zhirou came to a conclusion in her heart.
The corner of her mouth curled up.
"If I'm not wrong, Second Aunt, you know the origin of this thing."
Han Ping felt a little guilty and did not dare to look at her.
"I... I..."
Lu Lingwei who was watching by the side was anxious to death.
"Aiya, Mom! You will know if you know. If you don't know, you will not know. Why are you stammering all the time?"
Han Ping said, "I..."
Han Ping still did not want to say too much.
"Aunt, I won't force you. You just need to tell me if this paper rabbit was given to you by someone else."
Han Ping hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Yes. This paper rabbit was given to me by a master. He said that it was to ensure safety. She told me not to let anyone touch it. Otherwise, I'll suffer from a backlash."
In order to protect Lu Qi, she hid her name.
It would save Lu Qi some unnecessary trouble.
"Ha!"
Hearing Han Ping's words, Lu Zhirou sneered, "That master is right. This thing cannot be casually touched, but it is not because of the backlash, but because..."
She deliberately paused and looked at Han Ping with a trace of coldness for no reason.
"Because this thing is an evil thing. It was this thing that almost took Second Uncle's life!"
"What?!"
Han Ping was dumbfounded.
She remembered that the thing in this room was a Charm Spirit that could suck a man's blood essence.
Why... Why did it suddenly become such a small paper rabbit?
"Second Aunt, you might not know that you're not in the Mystic Gate. Actually, that Charm Spirit was just a puppet that was instructed by something. Without that thing, the Charm Spirit would never harm Second Uncle." Lu Zhirou explained.
" So, the root is this paper rabbit? "
Lu Zhirou replied, "Yes."
"Aunt, think about it carefully. Did Second Uncle's condition worsen after you took the paper rabbit back?" ___ asked.
Han Ping's face turned pale with a swoosh.
Because the time when Lu Qianzhen's condition worsened was indeed roughly the same as the time when the paper rabbit appeared!
