Half an hour later, Lu Jianxing returned empty-handed after his futile search.
On the way back to the estate, he encountered Jiang and Su, the two women waiting by the road.
Although Lu Jianxing's realm was much higher than theirs, he greeted them with a kind and affable smile, saying, "A month ago, I had a private matter that required my attention, which caused you two sisters to wait for me."
The woman with the surname Jiang hastily said, "Brother Lu, you're too polite."
Both she and Junior Sister Su glanced over Lu Jianxing a few times but couldn't discern anything, prompting the impatient Junior Sister Su to ask, "Brother Lu... what about that person? Did you kill him?"
Lu Jianxing shook his head, his face full of helplessness and anger: "He escaped."
"What?" Junior Sister Su exclaimed in surprise, "Was that person at the Nascent Soul Stage to escape from your hands?"
