1156: Chapter 116: Locking on the Target 1156: Chapter 116: Locking on the Target The next morning, Lu Chuan got up and stretched.

Then, he saw Gu Xiaorou come in with breakfast.

“Let’s have breakfast.

The food here is not bad, Bei Wang County is a wealthy area, and the overall environment is quite nice.”

She brought out the breakfast and placed it on the table beside them.

“Let’s continue cultivating today.

For now, we have no way to deal with that guy,” said Gu Xiaorou.

“Alright, I’ll help you continue cultivating in a while.

With Yan Kai watching over us, there shouldn’t be big problems.

We just need to wait for Lu Fu to show his weakness, then we’ll have our chance.”

“We will definitely win.

Now, we are obscured, and the enemy is exposed; they’re bound to reveal their weaknesses sooner or later.”

Gu Xiaorou continued to speak.

“That’s right, let me eat my breakfast first.”

After eating breakfast, Lu Chuan helped Gu Xiaorou enter a state of cultivation.

Since they were staying at an inn, Gu Xiaorou, while cultivating, was in pain but dared not make any noise.

Around nine or ten in the morning, Yan Kai came.

He entered Lu Chuan’s room, and the others, including Dongfang Cheng, also came in.

Everyone gathered around Yan Kai.

“Gentlemen, I went to check on the Commandery Princess last night, but I didn’t notice anything unusual.”

“I asked her opinion on the disaster that Bei Wang County encountered five years ago.

She corrected the mistakes in my description; she still retained the memories from five years ago.”

“So, the problem is quite clear; the way she behaved does not seem like someone who is being controlled.”

Hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought, then looked towards Li Bo.

“Li Bo, there couldn’t be any misunderstanding in this, could there?” Dongfang Cheng asked cautiously.

“Of course not.

The Commandery Princess is indeed under control, but it’s not an absolute control.

It’s at Lu Fu’s whim; she is only controlled when Lu Fu is around.

When Lu Fu is not there, she is normal.”

Yan Kai waved his hand, “That’s nonsense.

If that’s the case, then would she be unaware that she’s been controlled under normal circumstances?”

“That’s ludicrous, you must be deluded!”

Li Bo immediately retorted angrily: “You don’t understand Lu Fu at all!

He definitely has the ability!”

“When the Commandery Princess is controlled, she loses consciousness completely!

That memory doesn’t exist for her.

I noticed this pattern right from the beginning when she was first controlled!”

“If you don’t believe it, you are welcome to try it out and see what exactly the situation is!”

“I’ve made it very clear, that’s how it is, don’t bother with nonsense!”

“Yan Kai, this is a critical moment.

You can’t question what I say.

I am the personal guard of the Commandery Princess.

If there’s anything abnormal with her, I would be the first to know!”

Yan Kai pressed his hands down, “Calm down, I trust what you say.

You’ve become an old man magically, so it’s normal that the Commandery Princess is being controlled in a magical way.”

“Alright, I’ll go back and keep an eye on the situation.

If there’s any news, I’ll come to you.”

Yan Kai shook his head helplessly and then turned to leave.

“Ah…

it’s really troublesome.”

Li Bo sighed helplessly, “I don’t know when we can return to the original Bei Wang County.”

Yan Kai went downstairs and saw his colleagues from the day before in the lobby.

“Captain Yan, come have lunch.

Today’s another boring day.”

“You seem very relaxed.”

Yan Kai went over and sat down.

“Captain Yan, you’ve been running up to the upper floors for two days; are you keeping a mistress?”

“Don’t talk nonsense, just eat your meal.”

“I understand, let’s eat!”

The food was promptly served.

“Enjoy the leisurely life while it lasts.”

“What do you mean?”

“In a few days, we’ll be leaving the city.

There seems to be a strange Demon Beast outside the city, preying on woodcutters who go up the mountain.”

“Her Highness has ordered us to go hunting this Demon Beast on the mountain.

It’s a dangerous task, and our easy days will end tomorrow.”

“We’re leaving tomorrow?”

“Of course!”

Yan Kai pondered for a moment and then asked, “Will the Commandery Princess go too?”

“Why would the Commandery Princess go?

It’s just hunting Demon Beasts, not repelling mountain bandits.

Is there any need?”

“Is that so?

Then alright, we’ll leave tomorrow.”

Yan Kai nodded slightly and began to eat lunch.

Meanwhile, upstairs, Lu Chuan sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes tightly closed.

“After Yan Kai left, he sat down in the lobby downstairs.

He’s having lunch, and then, he had a conversation with someone.

He got the news that they are leaving tomorrow, heading to the mountains outside the county, to hunt Demon Beasts.”

Lu Chuan opened his eyes and said to everyone.

“Going to the mountain to hunt Demon Beasts tomorrow!” Dongfang Cheng stroked his chin, contemplating seriously.

“Interesting, it’s really hard to tell whether this is normal or not,” said Li Bo, puzzled.

“It’s said to be for collecting materials, but it’s not necessary to look only for Herbal Medicine or Crystal Stones.

Maybe, that Demon Beast is the material Lu Fu is searching for!” Lu Chuan asserted with confidence.

“Really?

If that’s the case, then we have to stop that guy!”

Dongfang Cheng spoke urgently.

“Then tomorrow, we’ll follow the team and check out the situation.

If it’s indeed the case, then we can make our move!”

Lu Chuan said earnestly, “If I can get my hands on that bastard Lu Fu, then he’s done for!”

After lunch, Lu Chuan and his companions, feeling bored in the room, went out for a stroll.

The Princess’ Mansion was very large, Lu Chuan basically had the area scouted within a day.

The Princess’ Mansion was located right in the center, strictly guarded, and outsiders could not enter easily, even more secured than the City Lord’s Mansion in Cloud Sea City.

By evening, Lu Chuan returned to the inn and continued to help Gu Xiaorou cultivate her Realm.

Gu Xiaorou still had a distance to go before reaching the Martial Saint Realm, but among Lu Chuan’s five-person team, three were already Martial Saint Realm powerhouses.

So, the combat power of Lu Chuan’s group was still very formidable.

And Dongfang Cheng also intensified his real combat training, challenging several martial arts schools in one afternoon, engaging in numerous fights.

At night, after helping Gu Xiaorou finish her cultivation, the two parted ways, with Gu Xiaorou returning to her room.

Lu Chuan went to sleep, and the next morning arrived.

…

Early in the morning, Yan Kai came to visit.

Yan Kai entered Lu Chuan’s room and saw that Lu Chuan was still having breakfast.

“Lu Chuan, this morning, the Princess’ Mansion is already preparing the departing team.

You should also get ready.

However, I’ve seen that the Commandery Princess will not join the team, nor will Lu Fu.

This means both of them will not leave Bei Wang County.

How to act next will be up to you.”
