Chapter 386 - Here Comes the Wei Family

Qin Ming was silent for a while before asking, “Miss Chu, do you have any extra trauma medicine here?”

Chu Luo nodded. “Yes.”

After saying that, she took out a bottle of medicine from her Heaven-and-Earth pouch and handed it to him.

Qin Ming walked over to take the bottle and thanked her before turning around to leave.

Chu Luo glanced at Qin Ming’s back and similarly walked out of the villa.

However, just as she reached the door, she heard the butler call her from behind. “Miss Chu.”

Chu Luo stopped and turned to look at the butler.

The butler said, “Just now, the Li residence received an invitation to the ball sent by Prince Wales. He invited you and Master to attend his ball tonight.”

Chu Luo replied without thinking, “Not going.”

“Okay, I’ll get someone to turn it down immediately.”

The butler then went to make a call.

Chu Luo went to the villa at the back to conduct experiments with Professor Tang and the others.

Half a day passed quickly. During lunch, Chu Luo took out her phone to take a look. Unexpectedly, there were a few missed calls and a few messages.

It was all from Anya.

Chu Luo looked at the contents of the message. The gist of it was that she couldn’t leave and had to attend the ball with her brother tonight.

Moreover, Anya mentioned that not only had the young masters and young mistresses of the capital’s upper-class society been invited tonight, but a group of foreign nobles that her brother knew would also attend.

Those nobles had come with her brother to prepare to go to that ancient tomb.

When Chu Luo saw this, she called.

The moment the call went through, she heard Anya say to her, “Chu, my brother even invited the Duanmu family and the Sun family tonight. I can’t leave. I have to stay and receive them.”

Chu Luo was a little surprised. “The Sun family agreed to attend this ball?”

Anya: “I don’t know about that. Anyway, the Duanmu family agreed.”

Chu Luo asked, “What is your brother doing now?”

Anya: “My brother is talking to the nobles he brought about the empire’s antiques.”

When Chu Luo heard this, she suddenly guessed why Anya’s older brother had invited the upper-class people of the capital to a ball with such fanfare.

She asked, “How many people did your brother and the others bring?”

Anya: “Not many. Just their personal bodyguards.”

Chu Luo said, “Looks like your brother wants to follow the people up there to that ancient tomb.”

Anya was silent for a while when she heard this. After a while, she said, “You mean, he wants the empire to protect them in the tomb?”

Chu Luo sneered and didn’t reply.

Anya stopped talking and only asked, “Chu, will you and Li attend this ball tonight?”

Chu Luo replied, “No.”

Anya seemed to have guessed that she would say that and didn’t continue asking.

The two of them spoke for a while more before hanging up.

Chu Luo continued to eat. After the meal, she and Elder Hu had just walked to the herb garden to gather the herbs they were going to use in the afternoon when her phone rang again.

It was Li Yan.

Li Yan said to her over the phone, “Luoluo, can you make a batch of trauma medicine?”

Chu Luo knew that something must have happened and didn’t ask further. After thinking for a while, she said to him, “Yes, but I don’t have my cauldron here. I have to go back to the old district to do it.”

Li Yan: “Okay, get the butler to go with you. I’ll get someone to send the herbs over immediately.”

Chu Luo replied, “Okay.”

After hanging up, Chu Luo said to Elder Hu, “Grandpa Hu, I’m going out this afternoon.”

Elder Hu nodded. “Sure.”

…

The butler quickly drove the car over. Chu Luo informed Professor Tang and the others before getting into the car and leaving.

The car drove along the outer ring expressway and arrived at the old district half an hour later.

When the car was about to reach Chu Luo’s residence, she suddenly tilted her head and glanced at a large tree.

There was obviously someone hiding there, and the unfriendly aura emanating from that person couldn’t be blocked.

The butler also noticed it and asked, “Miss Chu, do you want me to get someone to take a look?”

“No need.”

The car quickly stopped outside the residence. Chu Luo had just alighted when an angry roar came from behind. “Chu Luo, I’m going to kill you!”

Chu Luo turned around and saw the woman charging at her with a dagger in her hand. Her lips suddenly curled into a mocking smile.

It was Wei Wei.

At this moment, Wei Wei no longer had the image of a wealthy madam from before. Her appearance was haggard and she was thin like a match. In particular, the flesh on both sides of her face had sunken, and her forehead bone appeared especially high. She looked a little scary.

Wei Wei really wanted to kill Chu Luo. The ruthlessness and hatred in her eyes seemed to be about to overflow.

Chu Luo stood there without moving.

When Wei Wei’s phone dagger approached her, a leg quickly extended from her side and kicked Wei Wei’s body flying a few meters back.

Bang!

“Ah…”

Looking at Wei Wei, who had fallen to the ground and didn’t get up for a long time, Chu Luo walked up to her and looked at her coldly.

Wei Wei coughed a few times before stopping. She clutched her chest and looked at Chu Luo as if she wanted to eat her alive. She started crying and cursing incoherently.

“You heartless ingrate. Why didn’t I just suffocate you to death back then? You’re a jinx to our family.

“If not for you, Tingting and I wouldn’t be like semi-human and semi-ghost. Zhengyang wouldn’t have lost contact with us. You should have died with your short-lived parents.”

When Chu Luo heard these words, the sneer on her face widened.

The woman in front of her was just a clown to her. She didn’t even have the mood to deal with her.

The butler standing beside her couldn’t stand it anymore. He said to Chu Luo sternly, “Miss Chu, go in first. I’ll deal with this person.”

Chu Luo nodded and turned to walk towards the door.

At this moment, Wei Wei seemed to have gone crazy and shouted at her, “Chu Luo, don’t forget that we raised you until you were 18 years old. Zhengyang is your biological uncle. It’s unknown if he’s still alive now. Are you really so cold-hearted that you sit back and do nothing… Ahhh… Don’t touch me! Ahhh… Help!”

Chu Luo listened to Wei Wei’s hysterical roars and walked into the courtyard expressionlessly. She quickly walked towards the herbs refining room.

The butler quickly followed her. He didn’t say what he did to Wei Wei but asked, “Miss Chu, what do you need me to do?”

“Go outside and wait for the herbs. Once the herbs are here, bring everyone to put them into doses according to the ratio of this list and hand them to me.”

As Chu Luo spoke, she handed him a list.

The butler nodded and walked out with the prescription.

Chu Luo had just finished preparing when the herbs Li Yan had sent arrived.

The butler quickly divided all the herbs. Then, Chu Luo spent the entire afternoon in the herbs refining room.

When Li Yan pushed open the door of the herbs refining room, Chu Luo happened to pack the freshly refined ointment and pills into a small porcelain bottle.

Li Yan strode to her side and said, “I’ll help you.”

Chu Luo nodded.

She pointed at the pills. “Put them in.”

“Mm.”

Li Yan rolled up his sleeves, put on his gloves, and started putting the pills into the porcelain bottle.

Chu Luo tilted her head and glanced at him, who was working seriously. She thought of Wei Wei, who had suddenly run over today, and asked, “How’s the Wei family now?”

“Selling the Wei family villa.”

Chu Luo said, “No wonder.”

Since the Wei family had already reached the stage of selling their villa, it was obvious how pitiful they were. However, she really couldn’t understand Wei Wei’s thoughts. It was obvious that she had come today to ask her to save Chu Zhengyang, but the moment she had come up, she had pulled out a knife…

Chu Luo felt that the Gu worm had swallowed Wei Wei’s intelligence.

It was none of her business how pitiful the Wei family was. Neither did she have anything to do with Chu Zhengyang. She was more concerned about something else.

“Anya called me this morning and said that her brother invited the young masters and young mistresses of the upper-class society to a banquet tonight. He even invited the Duanmu family and the Sun family. What is he trying to do?”

At this point, Chu Luo suddenly remembered that Anya had told her before that her royal brother wasn’t interested in the throne and only liked to collect antiques from various countries. She felt a little strange.

Li Yan glanced at her expression and said, “The king of America has four sons and one daughter. Wales is his third child and has been traveling around various countries. He seldom returns to America, but his development is very powerful in private.

“In particular, when he roamed the various countries, he collected many expensive antiques and calligraphy paintings. He secretly used these to make friends with a large group of people from the upper-class society of various countries.”

“You mean, it’s not that this person isn’t interested in the throne, but that he’s deliberately making others lower their guard against him?”

“Yes.”

“Then what does he want to do tonight?”

“Firstly, to befriend people. Secondly, to follow those people to that tomb openly.”

“Ha!”

Chu Luo sneered and a sharp glint flashed across her eyes.

She looked down at the ointment in her hand and finally knew its use. This stunned her. In the next second, she frowned and asked, “You plan to stop everyone from entering the tomb?”

“Mm.”

That tomb was rumored to be magical and almost all the upper echelons of the world were paying attention to it. Li Yan actually wanted to use his own strength to stop all those people outside the tomb. No matter how she thought about it, it felt a little unreal.

At the thought of this, Chu Luo stopped what she was doing and asked with a straight face, “The West brought mages this time. The empire must have also brought people with special abilities. How can you stop them?”

Li Yan suddenly smiled at her, a calculating glint flickering across his eyes. “So many people from different factions have gone over. It’s impossible for them to unite.”

Li Yan planned to let those people fight first and attack last.

Hearing this, Chu Luo smiled.
