nChapter 211: Help Lu Li

nTranslator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

nPatriarch Seven and Liu Yi rushed towards the God-down Island, taking their battleship at top speed and then teleported to the Heaven Prison City. When they finally made it to the Heaven Prison Chamber of Commerce and found Chief Steward Bai, they were informed that Madam Yan was at the Bai Emperor Mountain.

nTheir status was not enough to be granted an audience with Madam Yan even though they were insisting. After they elaborated on what had happened, Chief Steward Bai was shocked so he immediately took the two to see Madam Yan at the Bai Emperor Mountain.

nMadam Yan was sitting in the outdoor pavilion. She didn’t say anything after she heard the story from Patriarch Seven and Liu Yi. Yet, her pretty eyebrows were knitted together.

nLiu Yi and Patriarch Seven dared not to say anything more. They waited for a while before Madam Yan finally opened her mouth,

"Bai Ding, ask Xu Chen to send someone to go after Lu Li and see if they can catch up with him. If yes, stop him and tell him to come back and meet me.

"

nA man flashed out from the corner and then vanished again after a nod. It was only by this time did Madam Yan look at Liu Yi and Patriarch Seven.

"Go back now. If Lu Li is dead set on courting death, there is nothing I can do. I am only doing my part, but the rest is up to god. The Blood Evil Island is not far away from the Heaven Martial Kingdom and Hunchback Tian is fast. It will be too late even if I went in person. Everything relies on his own fortune.

"

nPatriarch Seven and Liu Yi felt something wrong looking at the indifferent expressions of Madam Yan. It seemed… Madam Yan became angry at Lu Li again recently. She didn’t send anyone from the Bai Family, but only sent a message to Xu Chen. Would he be able to catch up with Lu Li?

nYet they were afraid to say more. They left after bowing to Madam Yan respectfully. Chief Steward Bai asked a maid to take them down to the Bai Emperor Mountain.

n

"Madam.

" After they were gone, Chief Steward Bai asked with anxiety,

"You are going to leave Lu Li alone?

"

n

"Of course not.

"

nMadam Yan looked at him and said,

"Didn’t I just ask Bai Ding to send a word to Xu Chen? Do you want me to get him back?

"

nChief Steward Bai stroke his beard embarrassedly. He clearly knew that if Madam Yan really wanted Lu Li back, she was capable.

nAs long as she went to the Patriarch of the Hall of Scouts to allocate all the scouts of the Bai Family scattered around at the northeast side of the Thousand-island Lake, the chances were that they were going to get Lu Li back. Instead, she only asked Xu Chen to send someone to chase Lu Li. Relying on the Xu Family, the possibility of locating Lu Li was much lower…

nChief Steward Bai suddenly was enlightened seeing Madam Yan sitting there leisurely. So it seemed Madam Yan didn’t care so much about Lu Li’s life now that she thought he was not going to join the Bai Family.

nIt would seem so. It had been half a month since Lu Li went back from the Bai Emperor Mountain. He would have come a long time ago if he wanted to join the Bai Family.

nThe Bai Family, the overlord of the Thousand-island Lake, wanted to recruit a person. Apart from the disciples of the Fourth Rank Families, others must be desperate to go without hesitation. Many warriors wished they could join the Bai Family but Lu Li needed to consider for such a long time?

nThe Bai Family was the supreme lord of the Thousand-island Lake. Any force would have to treat the Bai Family members with respect. The Bai Family had numerous resources, the best environment for cultivation, and top-level Xuan Skills, which made Bai Family the most powerful at the Thousand-island Lake, and even the Northern Desert.

nTherefore…

nLu Li saying he needed time to think was clearly an excuse. He never considered about joining the Bai Family.

nA talent that could not be enlisted would damp down Madam Yan’s enthusiasm. It was unlikely for her to mobilize the Hall of Scouts of the Bai Family just for Lu Li. To send a message to Xu Chen was a gesture grand enough.

nChief Steward Bai bowed and left after he figured it out. Madam Yan let him go without evening looking at him. When Chief Steward Bai was gone, Madam Yan picked up a goblet, shook it, gazed into the north and said to herself,

"Lu Li, you don’t want to join the Bai Family and you have the guts to leave the Thousand-island Lake. I want to see if you can make it this time.

"

n…

n

"Grandpa Seven, what should we do?

"

nLiu Yi and Patriarch Seven were teleported back. They rushed towards the Heaven Prison City. On their way, Liu Yi said anxiously,

"I don’t think Madam Yan is willing to offer a hand.

"

nPatriarch Seven looked gloomy. He said with a sigh,

"What else can we do? The only family of the Thousand-island Lake that can stand a chance to fight against the Yu Family is the Bai Family. If Madam Yan didn’t want to help, then even god can’t save Lu Li now. Let’s hope that he will not be noticed by the Yu Family.

"

n

"Ah…

"

nThe light in Liu Yi’s eyes died down. She was wondering what would become of the Liu Family if Lu Li died. At least without the animal tooth pendant, it would be hard for the Liu Family to grow quality Blood Caterpillar Fruits, Netherworld Roots or the Fire Fairy Ganoderma.

nIt looked as if Lu Li had offended many people. Once Lu Li was gone, would they all vent their anger on the Liu Family? The Liu Family was most likely to turn into ashes in an instant judging by their puny power.

nWhile Liu Yi was wandering off into wild flights of ideas, they had reached the gate of the Heaven Prison City. As the two walked out of the city, there happened to be a carriage rushing by.

nThe carriage was a fancy one, being pulled by two handsome stallions. Patriarch Seven and Liu Yi were engaged in their thoughts so they didn’t notice. They were almost bumped by the carriage.

n

"Whoosh~

"

nLuckily, Patriarch Seven came to his senses in the end and he dragged Liu Yi aside. Liu Yi stared into the carriage, wondering who was that rushing on so quickly. Was the person trying to kill a man?

n

"Hiss, hiss~

"

nThe carriage stopped suddenly. The curtain was lifted. A pretty face as delicate as china emerged. She looked at Liu Yi and asked,

"Aren’t you the ones working for Lu Li? What are you doing here?

"

nBai Xiashuang!

nOne look and Liu Yi’s anger was gone. On second thoughts, she believed that the only one who dared to run around in a carriage like this in the Heaven Prison City would be this spoiled young lady.

n

"Shuang-er, what is it?

"

nA gentle voice came out. Bai Qiuxue seemed to be in the carriage as well. Patriarch Seven and Liu Yi looked at each other. Their eyes kindled as they remembered that Lu Li had saved the twins’ lives in the Tomb of the Dragon King. Could they perhaps ask the twins for help?

nPatriarch Seven was clever despite his advanced ages. He looked at the guardsmen outside of the city, cupped his fists to the twins and said,

"I am Liu Rufeng. Greetings, Lady Xiashuang, Lady Qiuxue. We are here to send a message from Island Owner. But… it is not a good place to talk here.

"

nBai Xiashuang’s face vanished in the carriage. An identical and astonishing face appeared. She looked at Liu Yi and said,

"Let this young lady onboard and we can talk.

"

nLiu Yi was overjoyed. She boarded the carriage. Bai Xiashuang even asked the wheeler to turn around and went back to the city. Patriarch Seven followed them along the way.

n

"Plop!

"

nAs soon as she went into the cabin, Liu Yi knelt down to Bai Xiashuang and Bai Qiuxue. She begged anxiously,

"Please save our Island Owner. If you don’t help, he will die!

"

n

"Eh?

"

nThe cabin was very spacious. Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang were sitting on the couch with their legs crossed, sipping tea leisurely. Upon hearing the words from Liu Yi, the expressions of the twins changed. Bai Qiuxue asked immediately,

"Don’t worry young lady. Lu Li is our friend. We will help for sure. Tell me the details first.

"

nLiu Yi felt like she had seen hope after staring into the sparkling eyes of Bai Qiuxue and her sincere expressions. Liu Yi quickly told them everything, together with the matter of her seeing Madam Yan and Madam Yan sending Xu Chen.

nBai Qiuxue didn’t say anything after this. Bai Xiashuang was getting impatient. She said anxiously,

"Ah, Lu Li is an idiot. How can he be so impulsive? Our auntie is bad too. Why isn’t she asking Uncle Five to help? If Uncle Five mobilizes resources from the Hall of Scouts, they will stop Lu Li. Sister, how about we go and beg Uncle Five?

"

n

"It will be of no use!

"

nBai Qiuxue shook her head and sighed.

"Uncle Five is not a flexible man. Lu Li hasn’t sent any words back for 20 days. Patriarchs of our family are getting unhappy about it. Uncle Five will not concern himself with this matter. Eh…I don’t think there is anybody we can beg this time, not even our forefather. What is more, even if the scouts can find Lu Li, do you think they can stop him?

"

nLiu Yi’s fire of hope was quenched. So it would seem that the two sisters wouldn’t be of much help. Based on Lu Li’s character, he wouldn’t listen even if some scouts were able to locate him.

nBut what Bai Qiuxue said next made Liu Yi excited. Bai Qiuxue smiled gently and said to Bai Xiashuang,

"The only ones that can help Lu Li are us now. Shuang-er, do you have the courage to go to the Heaven Martial Kingdom? Let’s go and help Lu Li to kill people. Let’s get the Yu Family in trouble.

"
