"Haha, Centurion Lu is such a noble person who forgets things so much."
Eunuch Sun let out a sharp laugh like a night owl. He stretched out his well-maintained orchid fingers with sharp and long nails, and gently brushed his luxurious python robe.
"Anmin Ward Blood Sacrifice Array, thousands of souls and resentments, supplemented by three Entry Grade Blood Demon Cult's disciple's birthright, Essence Blood, can be condensed into an immature Blood God Child. This thing is the most important medicinal ingredient used by the nobleman in the palace to refine Nine Turns Resurrection Pill."
His voice suddenly became cold, like the ice of nine cold winters, piercing Lu Chen's ears word by word.
"My family saw with our own eyes that you took something from the ruins of that Flesh Altar. Centurion Lu, are we right?"
Lu Chen's pupils suddenly shrank.
He instantly understood that the other party was probably referring to an inconspicuous bottle he had found from the three Blood Demon Cult disciples to store Essence Blood, or some other trophy that he had never cared about!
Someone is watching in the dark!
Even... he deliberately left that thing at the scene to frame him!
"Ghost Face Mask..."
This thought passed through his mind like lightning!
Lu Chen felt a storm in his heart, but his face remained calm.
He shook his head slowly, with a wry smile on his face and a hint of exhaustion and helplessness in his voice.
"My father-in-law Mingjian. On that day Anmin Ward Blood Mist was so high that my subordinates and colleagues narrowly escaped death. It was a fluke that they came back alive. When the altar was destroyed, the explosion was so powerful that blood and flesh flew everywhere. My subordinates were seriously injured and almost comatose. How could there be any spare energy to find any treasures in the ruins?"
He calmly met Eunuch Sun's scrutinizing gaze, his eyes were clear and he did not dodge at all.
"Perhaps, my father-in-law saw it wrong. Or maybe, someone like Youxiao took advantage of the chaos and took away the so-called Blood God Child, deliberately framed me, and wanted to kill me."
These words are said to be watertight.
Not only did he distance himself, but he also pointed the finger at an unknown third party, and even hinted that he might be part of a huge conspiracy.
Eunuch Sun's cloudy eyes narrowed slightly, and the cold light in them flashed away.
He didn't expect that this young man, who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, would have such a deep scheming mind. With just a few words, he could clear up the basin of dirty water.
"What a sharp-tongued boy."
The smile on Eunuch Sun's face gradually faded away and was replaced by a bottomless coldness.
An invisible and extremely feminine aura slowly emanated from his seemingly weak body, like countless cold poisonous snakes, entwining around Lu Chen's limbs.
The temperature of the entire study seemed to have dropped by more than ten degrees at this moment!
Zhao Da Niu and Sun Monkey, who were standing at the door, felt a trembling feeling from the depths of their souls spread throughout their bodies, as if they were being stared at by a terrifying beast from the Nine Netherworld. Even breathing became extremely difficult, and they subconsciously drew their swords to protect them!
However, Lu Chen, who is at the center of this momentum, is still tall and tall, as steady as a rock.
The <Ten Thousand Year Black Tortoise Art> in his state of perfection is running on its own, and the Profound Black Internal Energy, as thick as the abyss, is slowly flowing in his body, just like an ancient sacred mountain that will never move. No matter how the feminine momentum impacts, it remains motionless like a gentle breeze blowing over a hill.
"What do you mean by this, father-in-law?" Lu Chen's face gradually became colder. "Does father-in-law want to beat me, Demon Suppression Division Centurion, who is professed by the imperial court, in my little Lu Residence?"
He deliberately emphasized the six words "Demon Suppression Division Centurion", showing a hint of unabashed toughness in his words.
Eunuch Sun's eyelids twitched suddenly.
He looked at Lu Chen in confusion, and his heart was filled with turmoil.
My own Bone-Melting Soul-Dissolving Baleful Intent is the Mysterious Grade Low Rank Cultivation Method that was secretly passed down in the palace. It specializes in hurting people's souls. Few people at the same level can resist it head-on.
But the young man in front of him had an expression that remained unchanged, and even his breath was not disturbed at all!
This is Fortunate General who was lucky enough to awaken his bloodline. This is clearly a dragon crossing the river dormant in the abyss with unfathomable strength!
For a moment, Eunuch Sun was riding a tiger that was unable to get off.
Forced? He was not sure he could win Lu Chen quietly.
Once the commotion gets louder and the Captain Li who protects Demon Suppression Division is alerted, the matter will never end.
Just retreat? How can I return to the errand assigned by the nobleman in the palace?
Just when the tension was tense and the atmosphere was tense to the extreme, Lu Chen suddenly changed the subject, and the coldness on his face instantly turned into just the right amount of respect and sincerity.
"My father-in-law, please calm down. I have no intention of contradicting you."
He cupped his fists in front of Eunuch Sun and said in a deep voice, "Although I don't know what Blood God Child is, I am sure that I have not taken it. But since this matter concerns the nobles in the palace, my subordinate is Demon Suppression Division Centurion. I am eating the emperor's salary and should take care of the emperor's worries."
"If my father-in-law can trust Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu is willing to personally investigate this matter thoroughly. No matter who took advantage of the chaos to steal Blood God Child or who framed me behind the scenes, Lu Chen will definitely pull him out from under the ground and give it to my father-in-law and to the nobles in the palace. A satisfactory explanation!"
These words were said with great force and justice.
Not only did he express his loyal and patriotic stance, but he also took the initiative to take over the hot potato of finding Blood God Child. In an instant, he transformed himself from the passive status of a suspect to the active role of a case handler!
Eunuch Sun Looking at the young man in front of him who changed his attitude so quickly and whose wrists were so smooth and far beyond his years, an extremely complicated light flashed in the depths of his cloudy eyes.
He was silent for a long time, seeming to weigh the pros and cons.
Finally, a stiff smile slowly appeared on his gloomy face.
"Okay, what a Centurion Lu who can take care of your worries."
Eunuch Sun nodded, and the depressing momentum slowly receded.
"Since Centurion Lu is so loyal, we will trust you once."
He held out three fingers and spoke softly.
"Three days."
"We will give you three days. After three days, we will see Blood God Child, or... the real culprit who stole Blood God Child."
"If it can't be done..."
He didn't finish his words, he just let out a meaningful sneer, which was full of unabashed threats and murderous intent.
"Our family has no choice but to come to Centurion Lu's house in person... to search."
