Can't Afford to Offend My Scheming Disciple

43. The Birthday Party II

Translator: Alanese Fantasy

A month later, Zhuo Hua survived three times of serpent venom attacks.

Zhuo Hua, Nan Chen, Kaka and Qing Yangzi went to Qingyu Pavilion to celebrate the birthday of its Sect Leader.

In the Qingyu Pavilion

People kept coming to celebrate the birthday, and boxes of birthday gifts were carried into the storeroom of Qingyu Pavilion.

Kaka looked at the boxes with eyes sparkling, as if it knew that there were treasures inside.

Zhuo Hua clasped Kaka who was ready to go for them anytime in his arms, “If you don’t stay quiet, you will have no dinner.”

Hearing these words, Kaka finally stopped moving.

Almost all the prominent cultivators in the Cultivation World came.

After all, Qingyu Pavilion was also one of the four top Sects. Whether it was to make friends or to seek for a future shelter, Qingyu Pavilion was a good choice.

Seeing that Zhuo Hua and his team came, Lin Tian greeted them quickly, “Master Zhuo Hua and Sect Leader Qing, welcome to Qingyu Pavilion. Please come in. My master has ordered me to wait for you here. The birthday party will begin tomorrow. Now please allow me to take you to have a rest.”

Dao Yuan’s birthday didn’t begin until tomorrow; Zhuo Hua and his team just arrived one day in advance. After all, they had to find the secret hidden in the Qingyu Pavilion.

Without looking at Lin Tian, Zhuo Hua with Kaka in his arms threw a box and said flatly to Lin Tian, “The birthday gift.”

Then Zhuo Hua just called a disciple to lead the way for them.

Lin Tian was embarrassed. He had no choice but hold the box in his hand and turned away.

Qing Yangzi walked beside Zhuo Hua, and Nan Chen followed behind.

“You seem to unlike that Lin Tian very much.” Thinking of Zhuo Hua’s attitude just now towards Lin Tian, Qing Yangzi sent a mind message to Zhuo Hua.

“Just a hypocrite.” He won’t forget that Lin Tian betrayed Nan Chen in Become the Demon. He never liked such a person.

At night, two figures constantly shuttled in the dark.

After their discussion, Zhuo Hua and Nan Chen decide to visit the Qingyu Pavilion at night, while Qing Yangzi and Kaka stayed in the room to observe the surroundings.

Zhuo Hua and Nan Chen followed the map to the room of Dao Yuan, the Sect Leader of Qingyu Pavilion.

Zhuo Hua closed his eyes and carefully felt the situation in the room with spiritual power.

“Nobody?”

Zhuo Hua opened his eyes. To his surprise, Dao Yuan was not in the room.

Cheep-

They pushed the door open and flickered into the room.

As soon as they entered the door, they felt a wave of dust.

‘Not right, how can a Sect Leader’s room be so dusty?’

After the dust dispersed, Zhuo Hua and Nan Chen sized up the room and saw that the room was full of cobwebs, as if no one had lived for a long time.

The two people searched the room and found nothing.

When they were about to leave, there was a burst of footsteps outside the door.

Zhuo Hua reacted quickly. He grabbed Nan Chen’s hand, pulled him to behind the bed curtain and hid his own breath. Meanwhile, he also told Nan Chen to hide his breath.

Because the space behind the bed curtain was very small, in order not to be found by the comer, Zhuo Hua and Nan Chen were very close to each other. The warm and humid breath was sprayed on Nan Chen’s neck, which made Nan Chen’s body stiff.

Cheep-

The door was opened and then a man came in.

Through the bed curtain, Zhuo Hua saw the man clearly.

‘It’s him? Dao Yuan. I saw this man in the memory of last Zhuo Hua.’

Clatter…

The man came up towards the bed, and the sound of shoes stepping on the ground became even clearer in the quiet room.

Zhuo Hua and Nan Chen stood quietly behind the bed curtain, and they looked at the man coming towards them. They felt increasingly strange.

The man had stiff limbs and even walked with his  hand and foot at the same side moving simultaneously.

Normally, Dao Yuan, as a cultivator in the Deity Transformation Period, would surely find Nan Chen even if he could not notice Zhuo Hua.

However, up to now, the man had never turned his head, even his eyes. And his eyes had been fixing on the bed even since he entered the room, as if his destination was the bed.

Clatter…

Dao Yuan walked to the bed, turned around and then fell flop on the bed.

Zhuo Hua let go of Nan Chen and came to the bed with a flicker, only to see the person on the bed with his vacant eyes open.

Feeling the remaining warmth at the back of him, Nan Chen felt empty in his heart.

Zhuo Hua stretched out his hand and put it under Dao Yuan’s nose.

“He’s dead!” There was no breath of Dao Yuan.

Nan Chen also came out and stood behind Zhuo Hua, looking at the person, whose face was drained of color.

They looked at each other, “A puppet?!”

It seemed that the hidden secret of the Qingyu Pavilion was quite big.

They quickly went out of the room and returned to their residence. Qing Yangzi had been sitting at the table waiting for them. When he saw them coming back, he asked, “How is it?”

Zhuo Hua told him what they had seen; Qing Yangzi frowned, “What happened to Qingyu Pavilion? First the Ghost Mother, then the Sect Leader turned into a puppet. What is the purpose of the people behind it? Why do they want to involve the Ghosts? Once the Ghosts really return to the Cultivation World, then it will really not be peaceful.”

“No, we must find out what is going on as soon as possible.” ‘In any case, as the Leader of a Sect, I should also protect my disciples.’

“Martial Uncle, no hurries. Tomorrow is the birthday of Dao Yuan. Since he has already died and been made into a puppet, then the people behind must have some plans. Tomorrow, all the answers will be revealed.” Nan Chen said.

He also wanted to know what was going on.

The next day, the birthday party officially began.

The position of Zhuo Hua was just under that of Dao Yuan. Nan Chen sat beside Zhuo Hua. Today, there must be a good show.

After all the people were seated, the Sect Leader of Qingyu Pavilion still didn’t show up, so people began to talk about it.

“If the birthday person doesn’t show up, what is the significance of this party?”

“Why hasn’t the Sect Leader come yet?”

…

“Ha ha ha, everyone, I am sorry. Today, the Sect Leader is under the weather, so he couldn’t make it to greet you in person, and he specially ordered me to come to apologize for that.”

All the people looked towards the comer.

“Elder Luo.”

“Since the Sect Leader is not feeling well, then just take a good rest.”

“Who is this?” Some people who didn’t know the comer asked the people next to them.

“That’s Elder Luo. In the Qingyu Pavilion, Elder Luo is not inferior to the Sect Leader. You don’t know him”

“Elder Luo is so romantic and infatuated, but what a pity, his partner has already… Alas, just let it go.”

When Luo Yuan turned out, Zhuo Hua and his team caught on. It seemed that the man behind the scenes was Elder Luo.
