Chapter 475: Chapter 247 Master Luoxue, You Really Are Not Polite_2

Her hand holding the pen idly sketched across the paper.

By the time she came back to her senses, she found that she had already written two lines of scribbled characters on the rice paper — the bright moon startled the magpies away from the branches, the gentle breeze carried the sounds of cicadas in the middle of the night.

Dugu Luoxue stared in a daze, remained silent for a long while, and her lips gradually curved into a slight smile.

——

When he woke up in the early morning, the sky was already bright.

Jiang Shouzhong dressed and stepped out of the house, only to see that Dugu Luoxue had already risen.

At that moment, the woman was picking vegetables in the garden.

"The number one female master of Wanshou Mountains and Rivers, vice-head of the mountain, a master of the Feathered Transformation Realm..."

Watching the woman with her sleeves rolled up, bending over with a basket to pick vegetables, Jiang Shouzhong murmured, "If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard to believe, truly an odd woman."

The breakfast was very simple, porridge with cabbage.

Jiang Shouzhong couldn’t help but say, "Master, eating like this every day isn’t nutritious. Look how thin you are..."

Gazing at his master’s great composure, Jiang Shouzhong swallowed the word "thin" and instead suggested, "Anyway, I suggest adding some meat dishes. If that’s not possible, let me cook. Whether you want fish or chicken, just tell me."

Dugu Luoxue sipped her rice porridge lightly and said, "I still stand by my word; if you’re not used to it, you can eat outside."

"I’m just worried about you, Master."

"Thank you, I’m fine."

"... "

Jiang Shouzhong sighed softly and shook his head, "Well, ’Heaven imposes great tasks upon this people: it first subjects their minds, exhausts their muscles, and starves their bodies...’ Bearing hardships with Master can help one achieve greater Dao."

Dugu Luoxue said, "I don’t feel that I’m enduring hardships, but..."

The woman looked at Jiang Shouzhong in amazement and said, "Those words of yours are quite thoughtful. It seems you really do have an astute mind. Perhaps your path will achieve greater heights than others."

Jiang Shouzhong laughed and said, "Why pursue such ethereal things when it doesn’t bring immortality, better to live a good life with a wife."

"Do you fancy immortality?"

Dugu Luoxue looked at him calmly.

Jiang Shouzhong chuckled, "Who doesn’t fancy immortality? Of course, that’s as long as those I care about can also be immortal; otherwise, it does indeed torment the soul."

Gudu Luoxue pondered for a moment, then said, "Pursuing the great Dao doesn’t necessarily mean pursuing immortality."

Jiang Shouzhong said, "If not for immortality? Then it’s just a waste of time."

Dugu Luoxue furrowed her brows, about to object, but remembering that this man before her could make her feel frustrated, she decided not to bother and quietly continued to drink her porridge.

After finishing the meal, Jiang Shouzhong diligently picked up the dishes and utensils to wash, in line with his master’s previous advice.

Upon returning from the kitchen, however, he saw Dugu Luoxue holding a bundle of washed old clothes.

She placed the clothes in the basin and said to Jiang Shouzhong, "These are clothes that need washing. If you’re unwilling, I can do it."

Jiang Shouzhong stepped forward, furrowing his brows, "I’m willing, it’s just that you, as a master... "

Looking at the plain undergarments inside, Jiang Shouzhong thought, you really don’t hold back at all as a master.

——

At that moment, outside a pawnshop called "Wen Dong" on Xiling Street, Lu Renjia and Zhang Yunwu were standing.

The two had arrived early.

"It’s this one, right?"

Lu Renjia asked Zhang Yunwu.

Zhang Yunwu nodded, "It should be."

"Let’s go, let’s enter."

Lu Renjia touched the envelope in his pocket and stepped into the pawnshop.

However, as soon as the two entered the threshold of the quaint and elegant pawnshop, they were unexpectedly surrounded by a group of well-trained robust men.

These individuals were dressed in official uniforms, surprisingly Government Officials and inner guards.

Lu Renjia’s expression changed, "What are you doing?"

"I should be asking you two instead!"

A cold questioning voice came through.

A man with a full beard walked over, staring coldly at Lu Renjia and Zhang Yunwu, and demanded sharply, "Lu Renjia, Zhang Yunwu, what are you doing here so early?"

"Captain Shen?"

Lu Renjia’s face grew ugly.

This bearded man was the Deputy Captain of the Capital’s Guard, not as high in cultivation as Ma Wu but held a very high position and was trusted deeply by the Emperor.

Next to Captain Shen stood two people.

One was Shan Dongchuan, the other was Yuan Anjiang.

At that moment, Yuan Anjiang’s brow was tightly knotted, his face full of grave concerns.

It turned out that the previous night, Shan Dongchuan returned to Liushan Division and revealed that Jiang Mo might be a spy from Nanjin Country, which Yuan Anjiang naturally disbelieved.

Thus, he had spent the entire night consulting Liu Wuxu and had people investigate the Murong Residence.

However, the results of the investigations were indeed unfavorable for Jiang Mo.

Even so, Yuan Anjiang still refused to believe that Jiang Mo could be a spy or traitor.

Just this morning, the official office suddenly got a lead, noting that the Shopkeeper of this pawnshop called Wen Dong was a spy from Nanjin Country, deciding a capture was necessary.

Yuan Anjiang also followed suit.

After the questioning, indeed the Shopkeeper was without a doubt a spy sent by Nanjin Country.

This gave Yuan Anjiang a foreboding sense.

Sure enough, just after the Shopkeeper was captured, two brothers of Jiang Mo ran to this pawnshop.

"Speak, what exactly are you two doing here!?"

Captain Shen demanded.

Seeing that things were going awry, Lu Renjia squeezed out a smile, rubbed his hands, and said:

"Captain Shen, we were just coming to pawn something, we’ve run out of money. We weren’t aware that you were working on a case... we won’t disturb you then, you continue, if there’s anything we can help with, just say it."

Lu Renjia pulled Zhang Yunwu’s arm, wanting to leave, only to be blocked by the guards.

Lu Renjia turned and pleaded with a smile, "Captain Shen, we’re all our own people. Your second brother’s sworn sister’s cousin’s aunt’s son married a cousin of a brother of mine, we’re all family."

"Family?"

Captain Shen sneered and ordered his men, "Search them!"
