CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE Attendance

After bidding farewell to Li Hai and the others, Long Yu purposefully wandered around the courtyard a few times in order to pass on a message to Shi Yong: He has already rested and can come over to discuss the matter of the Four Symbols Grass.

Long Yu sat in the room for four whole hours. Not to mention that Shi Yong didn't come to greet him, even Shi Gao, Shi Cai, and the others didn't appear … Was a Grade Three Alchemist not important? Moreover, there was a Grade Six Alchemist behind Long Yu!

"Damn it!" Clenching his fists tightly, Long Yu racked his brains but still couldn't figure out what wrong step he'd taken.

Just as he was feeling bewildered, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door. However, the person who came was actually Shi Gao. He wasn't able to see Shi Yong, Ma Wencai, and the others …

"Is the pharmacist resting well?" Shi Gao respectfully greeted him, not daring to slight him.

Long Yu waved his hand and said in a slightly hurried tone, "Send some people to guard the city gate. My master will probably be at the City Lord's Mansion in two days."

"Really? "This is a big matter, don't worry, the medicinal master. We will arrange it immediately after we get off the horse. But, did you have something you need to tell the medicinal master for me to come here?" At this point, Shi Gao's tone slowed down as if he didn't know where to start.

"Something important?" Long Yu's interest was piqued for a moment as he slowly sat up.

"Longshi City has been breached by the Mu Estate. My father received the news that an army of sentries had appeared at Qingfeng Valley, three hundred Li away from the City Lord's Mansion. I'm afraid that they will soon attack Yongan City. "For the safety of the pharmacist, I would like to ask you to pack your things and to leave Yongan city with the others. If we don't do this in a safe place, please forgive us …" Shi Gao's voice was low and filled with grief and indignation. Since he was a child, he had advocated for martial arts. Foreign enemies could invade, and he could not fight with his hands on the spear. However, he was like a mouse crossing the street, fleeing in panic. How could this be the style of a hot-blooded man?

However, this sentence caused Long Yu to freeze on the spot! The time shrunk and shrank again, and now, half a day was gone from his hands! Half a day, how could he obtain the Four Symbols Grass? Could it be that he was going to snatch it?

Seeing Long Yu not saying anything for a long time, Shi Gao thought Long Yu was frightened and quickly called out.

He suddenly stood up and said in a firm voice, "If you want to leave, you have to leave. I will wait for my master to arrive before I leave!" Not to mention the Four Symbols Grass, even if Long Yu died, he wouldn't leave!

"Pharmacist, with the bigger picture in front of us, you can't be a child's play!" Shi Gao tried his best to comfort his father. Before he came, Shi Yong had repeatedly reminded him to let the alchemist leave the mansion in the middle of the month. This was the first time Shi Gao had heard his father's serious tone.

"You can leave now!" Long Yu waved his hand and didn't say anything more …

After standing still for a while, the other side didn't have anything to do, so Shi Gao had no choice but to leave bitterly.

The room was as cold as it was before. Only the afterglow of the evening sun was in contact with the coffin. The interior of the room was soon shrouded in a layer of hazy, dazzling light.

Allowing the afterglow to submerge him, Long Yu's restless heart couldn't help but loosen a little. Grandfather once said that once the situation becomes complicated and you're at a loss, you might as well calm down and reorganize the situation. Perhaps there might be a new hope of finding something.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but when Long Yu opened his eyes, the night was already dark. Above his head, there were only two or three dots of dim starlight, and the noise of all the lights in the outside world swarmed his ears.

He clearly remembered that when Sima Yao told Long Yu that the pavilion had the Four Divisions Grass, Shi Gao gave him a disdainful smile. If Long Yu wasn't mistaken, the pavilion didn't have the Four Divisions Grass, but the Mayor's mansion had the Four Divisions Grass.

If it was as Shi Gao had said, the City Lord's Mansion would be relocated tonight, and this would be a rare opportunity!

With a simple bag on his back, Long Yu put on a dark long robe and rode the dark night towards the loft of the stone butterfly.

At this moment, the City Lord's Mansion was in a clamor. Under the hazy moonlight, all the people that could be seen were rushing and moving. Taking a deep breath, Long Yu silently blended into the crowd …

"Hurry up, there are still a few sandalwood tables left in the eldest young master's room. Cheer up …"

"Where's that linoleum? Damned Wang Liu, where's he going? Without it, how am I supposed to tie him up …" Hey, did you see Wang Liu? "

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't block my way. Can't you see that I'm holding a pile of things in my hands?"

"..."

Chaos, the entire City Lord's Mansion was already in chaos!

He followed the stream of people and unknowingly crossed the bridge. Seizing this opportunity, Long Yu directly walked toward the pavilion of the butterfly … Long Yu wasn't sure if the house had been emptied while everyone was busy cleaning up. He could only pray that the butterfly would be able to do it again, even once!

If Shi Die heard Long Yu's thoughts, how many times would she have to whip him?

He was swaggering and not sneaking around. After all, his identity as a medicinal master was there. If he were to sneakily speak, it would cause people to become suspicious of him.

Very quickly, the small courtyard where the butterfly came into view. With just a glance, the worry in Long Yu's eyes became heavier, because there was already a group of servants waiting outside the courtyard waiting for approval to go in and pack up …

With so many pairs of eyes, wanting to steal the Four Symbols Grass safely was definitely not an easy matter.

"Crack!" A crisp sound exploded, "Get out of here! If I say you don't want to move, then don't! I won't move, I won't move, I won't move …" "Whoever dares to touch my things, I'll die here today …" He knew it was the sound of the butterfly.

"This is father's wish. Little Butterfly, don't mess around. I order you to move now!" Only the heavens knew why his father wanted him to do this. It was fine if he was a medicinal master, but if he had to serve this little ancestor, then Shi Gao had no place to vent his anger.

"Wuu … wuu …" I won't move. Let Dad talk to me, go away, get out, get out … "Sob, sob …" With just a few words, the butterfly couldn't help but cry out loud.

Bang! The door was slammed shut. Shi Gao wanted to kick the door open a few times, but he slowly put it down in the end. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a tender voice came from behind.

"Why don't I give it a try?" It was unknown when Long Yu stood behind Shi Gao, but when the servants outside the courtyard saw Long Yu, they naturally weren't so stupid as to try to stop him.

When he saw the bag on Long Yu's back, Shi Gao's eyes lit up. "Does the alchemist plan to go with you?"

"Otherwise? Waiting to be killed... "If you are not worried, why don't you go and take care of other things first? Why don't you leave this place to me?" Long Yu smiled bitterly. It seemed that he was forced to do so.

"Alright, alright, alright. Then I'll have to trouble you." If it was any other time, Shi Gao might not have agreed, but he had already waited here for two hours. If he could not bring everyone out by then, then he would definitely be punished. The punishment was small, but if that news was true, then it would mean that his life was in danger. That was what truly worried people.

In the City Lord's Mansion, no one knew where Shi Yong, Ma Wencai, and Shi Cai had gone. Even Shi Gao didn't know.

Long Yu nodded. Only after Shi Gao had disappeared did the smile on his face disappear. Taking a deep breath, he lightly knocked on the door with his forefinger …

Another 'bang' sound rang out. It should be a vase smashing onto the door. "You are not allowed to knock!"

A black line appeared on his forehead, and he cleared his throat, "I was just knocking on the door, what's wrong!" As he spoke, he ignored everything and furiously knocked on the door. He wasn't here to console them, but to provoke them!

He could clearly feel that after hearing Long Yu's voice, the stone butterfly inside the room was stunned for a moment, and then the door was instantly opened!

Coaxing a woman, if it doesn't work, you might as well try to divert her attention!

Perhaps in other people's eyes, Shi Die's unruly behavior gave them a headache, but it was also her biggest weakness! The moment he caught her, he could tell that she was actually an extremely simple girl from the moment Long Yu used her to save Li Hai!

"It's you?" "Why are you here?" When she opened the door, she saw that it was Long Yu.

While laughing, Long Yu threw the bag on his back into the room. "Your brother told me to pack my things and leave now …" Long Yu walked directly into the room as he spoke.

The room was a complete mess. It was simply too horrible to look at. There were broken pieces of porcelain scattered all over the place, and tables and chairs were scattered everywhere. Other than his gaze, Long Yu couldn't find a place to rest.

Seeing Long Yu walk in, Shi Die didn't stop him and allowed him to walk forward, "Hmph!" If you didn't say anything, I would be angry, but I'm still sleeping. He actually wants me to pack up and leave right now, wanting me to stay awake, don't even think about it! "

With this, Long Yu noticed that the butterfly was wearing a light robe. A pair of bare white arms forced her legs to move …

"So he was the only one who woke you up?" This question was extremely important. If it was really only Shi Gao who had come, then the Four Symbols Grass would definitely still be here. Otherwise …

"Little Drug Refiner, what do you mean?" It's not enough to have a good dream with me alone, how many people do you want!? " As she was arguing, the tone of her voice became unfriendly.

"You won't let me sit here, will you?" Dragging his long tongue, Long Yu didn't want to bicker with the butterfly …

"Humph, follow me!" Turning around, she tiptoed towards the stairs. Long Yu didn't say anything as he quietly followed behind.

Very soon, the second floor entered his sight. His gaze hurriedly moved past the butterfly in front and started searching everywhere. However, after searching for a few times, he could not find a single plant, not to mention any traces of the Four Directions Grass.

"Hmm? What kind of expression is that? Are you trying to say that my room isn't pretty!? " Long Yu was the first person to enter her room. Not only was he not grateful, but he had a face that could anger a person to death.

Long Yu concealed the disappointment in his eyes and casually said, "Let me think again. How come there isn't a single plant in your room? If there was a plant in your room, then it would certainly be even more beautiful …"

"Who said there's nothing left, look!" As she spoke, she casually pressed a few buttons on the wall. After a series of rumbling sounds, a secret compartment appeared in front of her eyes.

Seeing the plant in the secret compartment, Long Yu's heart felt as if it was being ruthlessly grabbed by a big hand.
