And just as he'd expected, the old steward and his men had nearly gone mad searching for him.
After all, if they had lost their young master...
...then the matter of exterminating the Xilingzi's Xingzi wouldn't be considered a great accomplishment.
They could forget about getting a reward from the madam to marry three concubines; they'd be lucky to save their own skins.
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan quickly explained what had happened, leaving out any mention of Song Meiqin.
He focused on the matter of the "great ghoul" and told the old steward to send men to clean up the scene.
When the men heard this, they were all dumbfounded.
They just looked at each other in disbelief.
'Wait...'
'Is our young master really this much of a badass?'
'He took down a two-hundred-year-old ghoul all by himself?'
Leaving the men to their baffled stares, Lu Yuan spurred his horse and galloped away.
