Chapter 42 Apology
Chapter 42 Apology
The eagle-horse beast landed on the leaf peak one by one, and the general boarded off, walked toward Chu Lan, and spoke sternly, "Ms. Chu Lan, I was ordered by your majesty to deal with your sect thunderously; do you have any problem with me inspecting your peak?" He spoke, showing the Ruler Shang Decree.
Chu Lan clasped her hand, saying, "I have no problem. General Li, you can inspect it according to His Majesty's instructions."
General Li nodded, satisfied, and then passed the decree to the officer behind him.
Then he glanced at all the disciples, then spoke, waving his hand. A huge round platform appeared in the middle. "You all, one by one, put your storage ring, pouch, and martial spirit above this platform. Don't worry, it will just scan your item's, then return it."
Disciple glanced at each other. Lin Lee's brow furrowed, feeling such action was exploiting privacy, but then he secretly shook his head. He didn't care anyway; this civilization works on strength, not privacy protection laws; you can't reason with them on this topic.
Disciples then started moving and putting their items above the platform; one by one, projections of items appeared and became visible in front of each other.
Finally, it was Lin Lee's turn; he walked toward the platform.
Lin Lee ordered his bead spirit to remove the concealing effect and show items inside.
He also ordered his nanobots to imitate those holy materials's.
After putting his bead martial spirit above the platform, a projection appeared showing ten holy materials similar to the one he brought from the immortal pavilion, as well as other things and items.
While Lin Lee thought he would save himself from master doubts by imitating those holy materials he already used up, he didn't know one misfortune goes, another comes.
General Li's eyes flashed with greedy luster, looking at the Holy Material's, then he said, looking at Chu Lan, "Peak Head Lan, this disciple's martial spirit is a little suspicious; ask him to bring those items outside from his spirit and hand them over for careful inspection."
Lin Lee's expression became cold, looking at the shameless face of General Li and his smug smile.
Chu Lan, on the other hand, was calm and nodded with a smile. "Why not? Little Lee, hurry up. Give all of the items you have; let General Li inspect them carefully; don't worry, Sect will return them to you even if they are lost." She talks in a way, almost hinting at General Li that it's not a problem; he can keep them.
Lin Lee's expression, startled, became a little strange. 'Why is she flattering this guy?' A disappointment flashed through his heart, then he nodded expressionlessly, "Yes, Master."
Chu Lan was startled and realized the difference in his tone. She speechlessly cursed in her heart, 'This little ungrateful devil, It's his fault for buying stuff untimely and keeping it in his spirit; he didn't lose anything; I lost 157 million. Why is he showing dissatisfaction here?'
Lin Lee then put out all ten holy materials under the greedy eye's of officers and General Li and put them on the platform expressionlessly.
General Li also nodded happily, rubbing his beard, waving his hand, and putting away those materials. He spoke with a smile and said, "Don't worry; such high-level items are the main focus of our inspection. We will return them soon."
Lin Lee nodded calmly while mocking in his heart, 'Blind fools, when they are broken, devoured, shredded, and massacred along with everything they built and lost precious things that belong to them, they will realize the consequences of putting hands on my things's. I wish them good lives and luck.'
Lin Lee ordered his nanobots to reach their destination in the Shang Dynasty. At the moment when this general is sleeping in his home, he devours everything and then self-destructs.
Then he glanced at General Li's smug smile, and he ordered his nanobots to devour him in the end when he witnessed the demise of everything that belonged to him, including family, wealth, and prosperity.
Lin Lee then left and appeared beside the disciples who were being inspected, and then it was Chu Min's turn.
"General Li, this is my niece, Chu Min." Chu Lan, introduced with a smile, n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Oh, well, she is Xuan's daughter; I have heard of her as the heavenly daughter of the Chu Clan. She is indeed talented and a good seedling." General Li nodded, praising Chu Min.
Then he waved his hand, put away the platform, glanced at his officer, and said, "Let's go; there is nothing on this peak."
"Peak Head Lan, I will take my leave." General Li spoke, then left, riding the eagle-horse beast.
Lin Lee glanced at Chu Min and Chu Lan and said, 'Couldn't she introduce me when it was my turn? Doesn't she consider me her disciple?
His expression deepened. 'Anyway, I know better than anyone else; everything depends on strength and benefits. It's good I realized the true nature of this world so soon; in the future, I won't do a loss-making business.'
"Well, all of you disperse. Little Lee, come with me." Chu Lan then ordered another disciple, took Lin Lee, and Chu Min disappeared, appearing in her boudoir.
Then she glanced at Chu Min and said, "Chu Min, you can go and practice; I want to ask Little Lee something."
Chu Min was startled, then nodded her head and left the room thoughtfully. 'What is Aunt going to ask him, probably about life art?'
Lin Lee was left alone, suppressing his uneasiness. Looking at Chu Lan, he asked hesitatingly, "Master, why did you bring me here?"
"Disciple, are you disappointed because of my decision today?" Chu Lan asked with a kind expression, then smiled and walked toward the door beside her room, "Follow me."
She opened the door and walked inside, removing her footwear, then slowly removing her robe and clothes, leaving her inner clothes. She then grabbed her upper inner clothes and removed them, leaving the lower inner clothes on her whole body.
Lin Lee followed inside, looking at Chu Lan undressing, glanced at her milky white shoulder, then her pure white back revealed, then she opened her hair, a perfect length of hair scattered behind her back all the way reaching her waist.
Turning her head sideways, she glanced at Lin Lee, who had fallen into a daze. A smile appeared on her face, and she turned her head away embarrassingly, but then her expression became firm as if she had decided something.
"Apprentice, come scrub my back." Then she ordered calmly, snapping Lin Lee out of his thoughts.
'I am just twelve years old; I am a straight steel man; I am a straight steel man; I am a man of steel.' Lin Lee took a deep breath and started thinking about mantras, but unconsciously, he couldn't match all the mantras.
"Come on, apprentice, I will also explain to you why I gave General Li your item's." Chu Lan then urged again softly,
Lin Lee mouth twitched, 'What should I do now? Finally, I encountered the first devil in this world.' He thought restlessly.
Then he sighed and moved forward reluctantly. He appeared behind Chu Lan, looking at her sitting on the open bath edge, seeing her pure white back and her barely visible wing bones as if she were a butterfly.
'Here comes the first tribulation of the Virgin. Think of no evil.' Lin Lee thought, then, amidst his dazed expression, Chu Lan grabbed the bowl filled with petals and medicine and slid it back beside her without turning. She then spoke with a little embarrassment in her voice. "Here, scrub it all on my back; also, apprentice, remove your clothes; it's disrespectful to wear clothes in a bath."
Lin Lee then helplessly removed his clothes; a rustling sound fell in Chu Lan's ears; her visible neck turned red; then Lin Lee started applying the medicine to her back, from the neck to the whole back all the way to the last spine.
"Actually, General Li is the supporter of our sect's, and anything he wants from the sect shall be given to him; it's the sect rule; whether that thing belongs to disciples or not, the sect will later compensate that disciple." Chu Lan explained this in order to ease the embarrassment as time passes.
After a while, while both were silent,
"Little Lee, I am sorry." A silent voice containing everything reverberated through the bath house, and instantly Lin Lee froze.
Drip!!!
A sound fell in Lin Lee's ear. He flinched, looking at her, bowing her head, and her shoulder started trembling constantly. Teardrops started falling in the spring water in front.
Sobbing!!!
He heard an apology and sobbing sound from her mouth. Suddenly waves of guilt, regret, helplessness, remorsefulness, and sadness rushing throughout her body.
'Why is she showing such emotion on this occasion? Why is she so sad? Why is she apologizing?' A series of questions popped into his mind: Lin Lee fell into extreme doubt.
