Chapter 258: Another Illusory Demon
The State Minister had always been mysterious. Every time he went out, he would wear a bamboo hat. It was said that no one had seen his true appearance.
When Chu Sihan was in the capital, he had seen the State Minister a few times in the Imperial Court, but he did not know how he looked like.
He did not expect him to be his Uncle-Master.
“Lad, think about it. I won’t stay in Xuan Yue Country for too long. If you really want to learn from me, you’ll have to return to Beiyi Country with me.”
Chu Sihan was considering if he should find time to meet the State Minister when he heard Gao Xu suddenly state his condition.
Lin Jiang replied, “Don’t worry, Master. As long as you accept me as your disciple, I’m willing to follow you to the ends of the earth!”
Chu Sihan’s lips twitched. Those who did not know better would think that he was coaxing a girl.
Gao Xu actually fell for it and laughed happily.
It seemed like their master-disciple relationship was stable.
Chu Sihan stood up and said, “Go ahead and chat. I have other matters to attend to.”
Although he had set up a boundary, he was still worried about leaving the girl alone.
“You’re leaving already?” Gao Xu frowned. “You haven’t had a drink with Uncle-Master yet.”
“Let’s have a good gathering next time when Master comes over.”
Chu Sihan turned around and left.
“I wonder what this kid is busy with.” Gao Xu shook his head helplessly.
He glanced at Lin Jiang and mumbled, “He even lost his sweetheart.”
Lin Jiang did not hear his muttering and smiled. “Lord Chu will definitely be worried if Miss Lu is alone in the inn.”
“Miss Lu?”
Gao Xu was stunned. “What Miss Lu?”
“Oh, Master.” Lin Jiang said, “Miss Lu is Lord Chu’s fiancée. She entered the capital with Lord Chu to receive the reward.”
Lin Jiang had heard Lu Sheng, Shi Yi, Yun Ting, and the rest mention about this when they were on their way to the capital.
“Oh?”
Gao Xu laughed and said, “So, the person this kid likes isn’t you.”
“Me?” Lin Jiang was stunned. Then, he asked suspiciously, “Why would Lord Chu like me for no reason?”
“No, nothing.”
Gao Xu laughed dryly and quickly changed the topic to swordplay. “This path of sword cultivation...”

Chu Sihan returned to the original inn. The moment he entered, he sensed a familiar fishy smell.
His gaze scanned the surroundings before landing on a smiling waiter.
“Sir, is there anything you need?”
Seeing Chu Sihan look at him, the waiter asked with a smile.
As he approached, the smell on his body became stronger.
This smell was identical to the previous Illusory Demon. If he guessed correctly, this should be another Illusory Demon.
“Ah Zhong?”
At this moment, another waiter walked over and looked at him suspiciously. “Didn’t you say that your mother was sick and you went back on leave after informin the shopkeeper? Why are you still here?”
‘Ah Zhong’ smiled and replied, “Oh, I wanted to go back, but my sister said that Mother is feeling better now, so I came back.”
The waiter suddenly understood. “No wonder you’re so happy. So it’s because Aunt’s illness has improved.”
‘Ah Zhong’ nodded happily. “Yes.”
Chu Sihan finally understood what happened.
It turned out that the waiter called Ah Zhong had taken leave to take care of his mother. Hence, this Illusory Demon transformed into Ah Zhong.
Other than cultivators, ordinary people could not smell the stench on him.
“Sir, do you have any orders?”
‘Ah Zhong’ spoke to Chu Sihan again.
