134 You Should Stop

Ye Jiao noticed that Lu Wan was already busy experimenting, so she placed the food on the side. "Did you find anything interesting, Young Master?"

"Oh, not really," Lu Wan replied. "I'm just thinking that I probably should research some kind of poison that I could use to Lu Zhi."

"…" you want to poison your own sister?

Lu Wan glanced at Ye Jiao. "I just couldn't find the type that I want to use against her."

"Do you want to kill her?"

"No."

"Maybe some kind of poison that inflicts pain but not killing?"

"I don't know her poison tolerance, so I'm still wondering," Lu Wan shrugged. "Never mind then, let's just eat and rest for now. After dealing with Lu Zhi, we'll be going to the headquarter and finish our mission."

Ye Jiao nodded. She picked up the tray and pa.s.sed it to Lu Wan. It was already nearing winter. Doing mission in this kind of weather might be tiring, but at the same time, it would surely train their body.

The two of them rested for the day and Lu Wan got out early in the morning. He looked at the living room, which had been cleaned up and nodded his head in satisfaction.

"It's rare to see you wake up so early," Ye Jiao commented as she approached Lu Wan.

"I want to deal with that woman quickly."

Ye Jiao nodded in understanding. "I'll ask the kitchen to prepare the food."

After the quick breakfast, Lu Wan cleaned up himself. He wore his robe that he rarely touched and headed out of his quarter. The location of Lu Zhi's quarter was not that far from Lu Wan's. Even though the residence was large, Lu Wan has memorized the layout from a long time ago.

"Y-Second Young Master!" the servant in front of Lu Zhi's quarter hurriedly greeted Lu Wan when she saw him.

Lu Wan's expression was frosty as he looked back at the servant. "Where's Lu Zhi?"

"Y-Young Miss is inside. I-This servant will call her," the servant stuttered. Apparently, she was too afraid to face Lu Wan.

"There's no need. I'll go inside and greet her myself."

"S-Second Young Master?"

Ignoring the servant, Lu Zhi pushed the door open and strode inside. Even though it was impolite to barge inside like this, he didn't care in the slightest bit. Right now, his mind was filled with nothing but finding Lu Zhi as fast as possible to settle this problem. His own reputation was already in tatters, so there was no need for him to worry about it so much.

Ye Jiao was astonished when she saw the residence. It was filled with beautiful decorations here and there. As a scholarly family, the Lu Family residence did have decoration, but Lu Zhi's residence was clearly overflowing. It was as if she was thoroughly pampered with everything that she has.

"Second Brother?" Lu Zhi looked up with a bright smile on her face. "It's rare to see you early in the morning, Second Brother."

"Yeah and I believe you know why I come here," Lu Wan replied coldly.

Lu Zhi chuckled. "Is it because of the servant yesterday? Do you enjoy it, Second Brother?"

Lu Wan looked back at Lu Zhi with indifferent expression. "The next time you do something like that again, don't blame me for ma.s.sacring every servant that you have."

"Second Brother, did she do anything wrong?" Lu Zhi's tone of voice didn't change in the slightest. She looked at her brother with confused expression as if she truly didn't understand what her brother was saying.

Seeing the girl's acting, Ye Jiao got the urge to throw up. She couldn't believe that someone would be this daring like Lu Zhi. It seemed that the lives of those women who lived in the large family was not as simple as she thought.

"In the first place, it's not appropriate for a servant to have thoughts of getting into their master's bed," Lu Wan said in a flat tone.

"But she seems like she wants it so much."

The two siblings looked at one another. At this time, Lu Zhi's servant came to bring a tray of food. Lu Wan suddenly summoned his sword and swung it in the direction of the servant. Even though the servant herself was Eon Energy Master rank 1, she couldn't sense Lu Wan's attack until it was too late.

"Second Brother!" Lu Zhi stood up from her place and dashed to the servant's location. For the first time since she met with Lu Wan, her eyes showed her real feeling, which was fear and worry.

Lu Wan kept his sword back. "It's useless. She's dead."

"You! How can you…!"

"Servants have to live for their master and give their life for their master," Lu Wan uttered the rules calmly. He might not look like it, but he had memorized the family rules from a long time ago. "The one I really want to kill is actually you, Lu Zhi. But since I can't break the rules any further, I decide to kill your servant. Besides, their lives meant nothing for you if you can just send them away to me like yesterday, right?"

"You're wrong!" Lu Zhi reacted strongly. Her eyes were filled with hatred when she saw her brother. The servant just now was someone who had accompanied her ever since she was young, so she was very fond and close to that particular servant.

Seeing her got killed in front of her eyes made Lu Zhi angry.

Lu Wan shook his head. "I might be the troublemaker of the Lu Family, but do you think I'm ignorant of the rules? Do not forget that you're not the only one who learned them when you're young."

"But…"

"There's no need to care for a servant so much. You should stop bothering me unless you want me to direct my rage to you. Even if you're already engaged to an official, I'm not afraid of you," Lu Wan said.

In that moment, his killing intent, which he had honed through the training he had in the forest, leaked out. Lu Zhi could feel foreboding feeling that she would surely die if she dared to refuse. The pressure was simply too big for her to retaliate against. It planted fear into her bones.

"F-Father won't let you off!"

"Thanks to you, I already have an agreement with him," Lu Wan turned around. "Stop interfering in my life, Lu Zhi. You're nothing but a trash."

The word trash shook Lu Zhi so deeply that her eyes shook. Glaring at her brother she pointed to Ye Jiao. "Can you say the same thing if I try to kill that servant of yours?"

"Why don't you try?" Lu Wan taunted without any hint of fear. Given his current power and Ye Jiao's strength, they wouldn't have any problem to run away if they couldn't beat the servant. After all, the servants around Lu Zhi were only Eon Energy Master rank 1 and one guard at rank 2.

Lu Zhi's body shook in desperation. She knew that if Lu Wan blocked the way and the servant wounded him, the one who would get punishment would be her. After all, her father had given clear instruction that they were not allowed to touch Lu Wan at all. They have to leave him to train.

Ignoring the frustrated Lu Zhi, Lu Wan got out of the residence. He turned to look at his own servant, who was waiting before the door. "I'm going to have another closed door training. No one is allowed to bother me in this period of time."

"Yes, Young Master."

"Let's return back."
