I'm his wife, how come I don't know?

Chapter 17 Personal Trial

"Jiang Chu."

"Jiang Chu——"

The cold voice penetrated his eardrums and Jiang Chu opened his hazy eyes.

Jiang Chu's eyes gradually became clear from confusion in the dim cave, and his sight was focused on the water blue robe in front of him.

The wind outside the cave was howling with a biting chill.

It made him shudder involuntarily.

He rubbed his eyes, which were swollen and painful from closing them for so long, and his gaze stayed on Lu Shuyan.

"Senior Brother..." Jiang Chu called out subconsciously.

Lu Shuyan turned his head away and didn't look at him.

Jiang Chu pursed his lips.

"Zi-"

A burst of splitting pain came from the skin, Jiang Chu couldn't help but frowned, and cold sweat slid down his forehead.

Lu Shuyan seemed to have noticed something, turned around, and said in a low voice: "The matter has been investigated, you can go out."

Jiang Chu stood up slowly, his voice was hoarse: "Oh, thank you, Senior Brother."

Lu Shuyan walked out of the cave, and Jiang Chu wrapped himself tightly and followed behind him.

The two walked out of the cave. The snow was white all over the ground, and the snow was above the knees. Jiang Chu's steps seemed a little staggering.

Inside the forbidden area, they could not use flying spells and could only move forward step by step on the snow with difficulty.

Jiang Chu was so cold that he couldn't help but sniff, and every breath was bitingly cold.

"Suck--"

Jiang Chu sniffed because of the cold.

"Suck--"

Jiang Chu sniffed again, his teeth chattering from the cold.

"Suck--"

"boom--"

"Susu-"

Lu Shuyan waved his hand, clearing the way for them.

Jiang Chu looked at the clean road and caught up with the figure.

Step by step towards the stairs leading out of the forbidden area.

Jiang Chu silently looked at Lu Shuyan's back, and his heart softened.

He tightened his clothes, followed Lu Shuyan's steps, and walked out of the forbidden area step by step.

When they walked out of the forbidden area, Jiang Chu felt that the originally chaotic spiritual power began to slowly calm down, his body gradually warmed up, and his wounds began to heal under the nourishment of the spiritual power.

At the bottom of the stairs, Lu Shuyan’s wind beast, tall and majestic, stopped in front of him.

Jiang Chu took his last step out of the stairs, and his body was immediately pulled onto the Wind Beast.

The place we went to this time was not the main hall of Baihua Peak, but Xingchen Peak.

The lights in the hall were still on, and sitting on the throne was his master Xing Lan.

Standing below the stage were the elders of the Law Enforcement Hall and two guards.

Standing with the elder was Bai Huafeng’s eldest disciple Baili Wuyang.

"Master, Elder." Lu Shuyan bowed.

Xinglan nodded.

Lu Shuyan stood to the side, and Jiang Chu looked at the surrounding environment.

He also bowed and said, "Master, Elder."

Xing Lan looked at him across the crowd and nodded.

"Now that everyone is here, and the matter of the million spirit stones has become a hot topic, it's time to end it." Xing Lan's words were calm.

The elders in the audience nodded.

He turned to Jiang Chu and said, "It has been found out that Cheng An pretended to be Jiang Chu and stole a million spirit stones. He has been found now."

After the elder finished speaking, Baili Wuyang bowed and said, "I'm sorry, Junior Brother Jiang, your reputation has been damaged because of this matter."

Jiang Chu didn't want to pay attention to Baili Wuyang, he wasn't a good guy.

And we don’t know who Cheng’an’s superior is. What if it’s Baili Wuyang?

He pursed his lips, looking impatient.

Baili Wuyang narrowed his eyes slightly, but he knew that it was Bai Huafeng who caused the commotion, and they were at fault first.

"As an apology, I, Bai Huafeng, will compensate you with these ten thousand high-quality spirit stones." Baili Wuyang took out a mustard seed bag.

Xinglan did not catch the mustard seed bag floating in the air.

Lu Shuyan waved his hand and floated the mustard seed bag in front of Jiang Chu.

The voice resounded throughout the hall: "The one who was wronged is Jiang Chu."

"And your clamoring junior brother, I hope you will keep your promise."

Baili Wuyang closed his eyes. He came here alone today just to make Xingchen Peak consider his situation and not mention the matter again.

Unexpectedly, now that Jiang Chu didn't mention it, his senior brother spoke up.

As long as the head master agrees, the eldest brother’s words represent the opinions of the entire Xingchen Peak.

Baili Wuyang hadn't heard the person on the high seat speak for a long time, and he knew what Xinglan meant.

So he bowed and said, "I will tell him when I get back."

"Master, Brother, Elders, I'll take my leave first." Baili Wuyang left in a hurry.

The elders also left with the Law Enforcement Hall and the guards.

Inside the hall, only the master and his disciples were left.

Xing Lan glanced at Lu Shuyan and said, "Shuyan, you leave first, Jiang Chu stays."

"Okay, Master." Lu Shuyan bowed and left without looking back.

Jiang Chu glanced at Lu Shuyan's back.

"Bang." The door of the hall was closed.

The house was still brightly lit, but it was eerily quiet.

Xing Lan walked down from the high seat step by step.

Walk step by step to his front.

Those bright eyes, like mountain ice crystals, were filled with a hint of pity.

"Are you used to living outside?"

Jiang Chu could see the concern in his eyes, and he smiled and said, "Master, don't worry, I will take care of myself."

"Yesterday, it was your eldest brother and third brother who went to the dungeon in person, and Cheng'an finally gave in." Xing Lan looked at him with soft eyes.

Jiang Chu opened his mouth, and a warm feeling passed through his heart: "Master, I was sorry to my senior brother before."

"I will get along well with my senior brothers in the future."

Xing Lan stepped forward and patted his shoulder: "In three days, the disciples of the five major sects will gather at Longyin Immortal Mansion to help your brothers."

"Okay." Jiang Chu nodded.

Yesterday's Dungeon.

Cheng An was not afraid of death and forced out an ugly smile, and said unnaturally: "Brother Lu, you also come to a place like this, it's too dirty here."

Lu Shuyan glanced at him coldly, then looked at the people detained in the cell, and said in a low voice:

"Cheng'an, I have always been clear about gratitude and resentment. No matter how bad Jiang Chu is, he is still my junior brother. This time I come here, I hope you will say everything you need to say, otherwise don't blame me for turning my back on you."

Seeing Lu Shuyan standing up for Jiang Chu, Cheng'an became even angrier.

Jiang Chu didn't suffer any loss this time. If things went wrong, he would have been defeated.

Cheng An was too lazy to pretend and said unhappily, "Brother Lu, what do you think I can do to Jiang Chu? I am the one who suffers the most."

"you sure?"

Lu Shuyan snorted coldly, raised his foot and kicked the prison door hard.

The black boots were bent into a deep crease due to the strong force.

The iron pillar of the prison door was also bent due to Lu Shuyan's force.

"Om-"

The powerful vibration brought with it spiritual power, knocking Cheng An away.

Cheng An spat out a mouthful of blood and felt as if all the bones in his body were broken.

Lu Shuyan stared at him with his eagle-like sharp eyes and warned him coldly: "Tell me about the spirit stone."

Cheng'an spat out another mouthful of blood and trembled all over.

The pain made me gasp.

None of the guards nearby dared to stop him.

In the huge underground cell, the only sound could be heard as Cheng An's blood dripped onto the floor.

The guards looked at each other, and they all looked at Lu Shuyan in horror as if he were a demon. They just hoped that the interrogation would be over quickly and they could leave here without getting into trouble.

Cheng An suppressed his fear and resentment and said, "It was indeed me who stole the million spirit stones by pretending to be Senior Brother Jiang—"

Lu Shuyan raised his lips and asked, "Who drugged Jiang Chu in the Immortal Hall?"

Lu Shuyan originally thought that Jiang Chu did not respect himself and wanted to use drugs to have an affair with Li Xiu, but Jiang Chu was indeed not the same as before these days, which made him more suspicious.

The tremendous pressure made Cheng An breathless, but he received an order from his superiors to take the blame, so he had no choice but to tell the truth.

"I was the one who guided Jiang Chu to chase Li Xiu and make a fool of himself. I was also the one who gave him the drug—"

"Bang——" The spiritual power in the dungeon surged, and Chang'an was thrown directly against the wall.

Chang'an felt as if every part of his body was shattered.

Then Lu Shuyan sneered and let go of Cheng An: "Don't worry, you won't die. I will slowly return what you brought to Jiang Chu."

"Ten times, a hundred times—"
