Chapter 58 Hidden Room

58 Hidden Room

"We greet the Young master," the guards said respectfully as they opened the gates for Lu Zhen and Yu Bai, wearing strange expressions.

Their ragged clothes caught their attention as they found both lu zhen and yu bai with dirty clothes. And the carriage was nowhere to be seen as they couldn't find a single trace of it which made them confused and a little terrified.

Yu Bai carrying two people and a bag caught the guards' attention.

As they saw Lu Zhen, their eyes widened. They could see a woman obediently following him, holding her hands with one hand and a leaf-wrapped package in his other hand.

However they were just common guards guarding the estate. So how could they even dare to think that they could interrogate their young master?

"Isn't that the young miss of the Huang family?" the guards thought with shock. They were filled with questions but didn't dare ask as they obediently opened the gates.

"Young master, we should separate for now..." Yu Bai suggested as he handed the sack containing the items to a servant.

"Alright," Lu Zhen replied, eyeing his dirty clothes and the two women.

He noticed the terrified look in Huang Li's eyes.

"Did you really think I was an ordinary commoner?" Lu Zhen asked Huang Li.

Hearing his cold voice, Huang Li snapped out of her thoughts. Though bitterness still marked her expression, a faint glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes.

"Even if you're from the Lu family, so what? Our Huang family is also one of the four major families of the city," Huang Li said with newfound courage, facing Lu Zhen's emotionless gaze.

"Are you trying to incite a war by capturing me?" Huang Li continued to provoke, growing bolder.

"Miss Li really thinks highly of me. I was just acting in self-defence. After all, you attacked me first like a mindless fool who only has beauty for show," Lu Zhen said, stating the facts with a sincere expression.

"You..." Huang Li was about to retort but found herself speechless as Lu Zhen was telling the truth.

Her foolish decision to attack Lu Zhen, even after witnessing him effortlessly kill a martial trainee, had landed her in this predicament. Recognizing her own foolishness, she fell into silence.

"Don't worry about her; she's a prisoner," Lu Zhen said loudly to Little Lily, making Huang Li clench her fists in frustration.

Lu Zhen led them both to his room. The room was quite simple, but spacious, with a large bed and tasteful furnishings, neither extravagant nor empty.

There were some woods at the corner of the room.

There was a huge bed in the middle where lu zhen slept with the symbol of dragons carved on it.

He looked to his left side of the bed where there was a strange statue of a bonsai on a table.

The bonsai statue was made of bronze and copper, vividly detailed down to every single curve. It could be said to be a masterpiece with every single detail.

Lu Zhen touched the surface of the statue, feeling its smoothness, as he turned the statue around, under the witness of huang lu's surprised gaze the statue actually turned around.

Creak!

The moment he did, a door opened in his room, and a dirty and rusty smell immediately filled the room.

Smelling the rusty odour, Lu Zhen frowned; however, he wasn't going to stay there anyway.

"Whatever," Lu Zhen thought as he tightly gripped Huang Li's hands and went inside the room.

The room was quite simple, with bookshelves that appeared to be too old.

"Hmm, these will do for now," Lu Zhen thought to himself as he placed the leaf containing Xia Mei on a nearby table.

As he tapped his foot on the ground, he could feel a slimy texture in the ground. It was so sticky that even Lu Zhen's foot got stuck quite a lot.

The smell became even more disgusting as Lu Zhen entered, especially with his heightened senses due to his superhuman abilities; his sense of smell was even stronger, making Lu Zhen feel disgusted.

However, the smell slowly started to decrease as Lu Zhen felt that he was slowly adapting to the odor.

"Adapt skill," Lu Zhen thought with excitement. The smell was still there, and he could still clearly detect it, but it didn't seem to be as disgusting now.
