“I… I don’t know who it was…” Lu Changwei cradled his face in his hands; his head was still buzzing and he was still going in and out of consciousness.

“You stupid fool! You don’t know who hit you?! You humiliated our family!” Lu Mingjun barked. “I want you to think! Figure out who it is! If we don’t retaliate, other people will think that they can bully our family!”

“Yes… I… I’ll try to…” Lu Changwei swallowed as he squeezed his eyes shut. “I remember, there was a cunning bitch who tried to stab me but I fought her off! Then, I heard a movement behind me, so I turned around. All I saw was a a golden-purple palm coming towards me and then it hit me… then I… I… fainted…”

“Golden-purple?!” Lu Mingjun’s brows creased. “What element of Ethereal Force is that? I’ve never heard of it before!”

“I don’t know either… It all happened so quickly. I didn’t get a good look…” Lu Changwei answered hesitantly.

“What about that woman?” Lu Mingjun asked.

“Sh… she ran off.” Lu Changwei quickly tried to explain his answer. “Zhu Dachang rushed to save me. He said that he only saw the woman and no one else. In fact, he said that the woman vanished into thin air and escaped him!”

“What a useless piece of shit! Can’t even catch a woman! All of you are useless!” Lu Mingjun was shouting now. “I already told not to hang out with those lowlife gang of scoundrels! They can’t even do anything to help you when something like this happens!”

“Yes, father is right to reprimand… Yes…” Lu Changwei nodded, holding his breath.

“Fortunately, you are not injured. Otherwise, how are you going to compete in the Elite Hunting Competition which is in nine days’ time!” Lu Mingjun studied his son as his lips curled into a frown. “Where is your storage bracelet?”

“Bracelet? Where’s my bracelet?” Lu Chengwei jumped out of bed and began scouring through the room. But he could not locate seem to locate it.

“Don’t tell me you lost it!”

Lu Mingjun’s face darkened, exuding a fierce milieu, like that of a bloodthirsty tiger.

The other Lu family members grew tense as well.

Based on their reactions alone, it was apparent that the bracelet held something extremely important.

Lu Changwei took a step back, his face a pasty shade of grey. “My storage bracelet was stolen! It must be that bitch! She stole it!”

“Idiot! Useless! Retard! I really shouldn’t have given you the key to Overgrown Forest Hidden Treasure in advance!” Lu Mingjun lambasted.

“I know it’s my fault, father! It’s my fault! Please don’t be mad!” Lu Changwei got down on his knees.

“You know that it’s your fault? What is the use of knowing that now? This Overgrown Forest Treasuries are the hidden treasures the Lin Hai nobles buried 500 years ago! I went through hell to get the key to the hidden treasure! I gave it to you so that you can present it to Ninth Young Lord during the Elite Hunting Competition to buy your future! Half a month ago, I already told you to stay at home and prepare for the competition! But no! You go around all day long with the idiotic friends of yours, drinking and gambling! And look where it got you?! Now, you lost the key! You’ve sabotaged your own future! You are so stupid! A brainless dimwit!”

Lu Changwei’s forehead, back and palms were soaked with perspiration. He dared not even move an inch from the kneeling position he was in.

“Speak! You useless buffoon! Where is your responsibility?!” Lu Mingjun was so angry his eyes were practically burning.

“I…” Lu Changwei inhaled a breath of air and said “I will go to Silver Plume Commanding Headquarters to borrow an army and tell them to search the whole city!”

“You dumbass! This is your idea?” Lu Mingjun barked. “If you had stolen the key, would you stay in Silver Plume City and wait to be captured?”

“Uh…”

Tears were already rolling down Lu Changwei’s cheeks. His father had always been stern with him, but this was the first time he let out such a huge outrage.

The key seemed to be of extreme importance!

“Uncle Lu, please calm down. I have an idea on how we can lure the assassin from his hiding!”

A fatty with large ears stepped forward.

Lu Mingjun, still boiling mad, glared at the fatty from the corner of his eyes and spat, “Who the hell are you? How dare you call me uncle?”

The fatty was unfazed. “I’m Zhu Dachang, the immediate heir of the Zhu family, west side of the city. I am a nobody to you, but I’m Master Wei’s good friend. I will do everything I can to help him when he’s in trouble!”

Lu Mingjun was slightly moved by this. “You have 10 seconds. If you have nothing then leave!”

Zhu Dachang had already thought through it. “If I’m not mistaken, the Overgrown Forest Hidden Treasure’s exact location is still an unsolved mystery to outsiders, which means that even though the assassin has the key, he would have no idea what the key is for! So, what we need to do is to spread a false rumor saying that the Lu family has discovered the Overgrown Forest Hidden Treasure, and the map is kept in your mansion! When the assassin breaks into the mansion to steal the map, we can catch him in action! And we can take back the key!”

The others in the room nodded in approval; they all thought that what Zhu Dachang had said made sense.

Lu Mingjun mulled over the idea for a moment before he granted the young man a smile. “Young man! That’s an excellent plan! I was too caught up in the moment and allowed my anger to overtake me and spoke too harshly. I hope you don’t take it to heart! Next time, please assist Changwei!”

“Don’t worry, Uncle Lu. I treat Master Wei like my own brother. I will do my best to help him!” Zhu Dachang smiled compliantly.

Lu Mingjun then gave his verdict. “Alright! We’ll do according to your proposal! When we catch the assassin, you will become a part of our family!”

“I will give my best!” Zhu Dachang answered earnestly.

In the secret space.

Chen Xiaobei had completed the Head Piercing Seven Arrows sigil. Because he had overdrawn his energy doing it, lethargy began to set in.

Since he was going to need to sleep anyway, Chen Xiaobei decided to call for Xiao’er.

“Bro Bei! Why are you calling me now? I’m still sleeping!” Xiao’er pouted.

“Take a look at these Spiritual Instruments!” Chen Xiaobei took out the three Spiritual Instruments he had taken from Lu Changwei. “If I ate them, how long would I be asleep for?”

“Huh? Two Five-star Spiritual Instruments, and a Seven-star Spiritual Instrument!” Xiao’er’s eyes widened in delight. “These are some hard-to-come-by delicacies!”

“You little glutton! Quick! Answer my question! I will save some for you later!” Chen Xiaobei said.

“Okay!” Xiao’er chirped. “With Bro Bei’s current cultivation, a Five-star Spiritual Instrument can increase your health by 3,000, which means three days of deep sleep! The Seven-star Spiritual Instrument can increase your health by 20,000, and that required 20 days of deep sleep!”

“Mm, the Elite Hunting Competition is in nine days’ time. So, I can only eat the Five-star Spiritual Instruments first!”

Chen Xiaobei then immediately got to work.
