Chapter 152 Pretending to Be Ignorant

"Yunkai! This way!!"

"...Wait a minute!!"

Lu Yunkai squeezed through the crowd and finally came to the excited Malfoy.

"Why did you come just now!" Malfoy nagged Lu Yunkai.

"... You can't really blame me for this. I didn't know there was such a big place!" Lu Yunkai sighed, "Old Eli's portkey is at the other end of the field, several miles away from here!"

"So I asked you last night if you would come to my house with us! You insisted on coming with your friends... those people..."

"Draco, you should have some respect for those who open shops in Knockturn Alley." Lucius, who had his long hair meticulously combed close to his scalp, interrupted Draco's contempt for Old Eli and others, "Those people just look down and out, and there are not many simple people among them."

"Oh." Hearing his father say this, Malfoy could only nod, "Then let's go?"

"Don't worry, it's time for those people in the lower stands to enter the field. Why are we squeezing in so early?" Lucius shook his head, "The coach of the Irish team agreed to your request to visit before the game. We can go and see the players who are about to play."

"Ah? Really?" Malfoy's face suddenly became excited again.

"Of course. And there is a player who has some special ties with Lu Yunkai... He was once one of Lu Yunkai's adoptive father's favorite students."

"Is that so! Then let's go!!" Malfoy nodded excitedly and pulled Lu Yunkai to go.

"You go first! We'll go behind." Lucius stretched out his hand and stopped his son.

Draco was stunned, and then instantly understood that his father had something to say to Lu Yunkai.

"Father, Lu Yunkai is a very important friend to me..."

"I understand. I'm not going to embarrass him. Otherwise, I wouldn't have tried to get three tickets today." Lucius interrupted Draco.

"...Okay." Draco nodded to Lu Yunkai and walked in front.

...

"Mr. Malfoy, what's the matter?" Lu Yunkai still had a smile on his face, but his tone was not particularly polite.

It is now mid-August, and Lu Yunkai has taken over the job of helping Voldemort find two resurrection items, and a month has passed.

Naturally, there was no progress this month.

Although Voldemort was a little anxious, he had no other choice, because he couldn't think of which believer he could contact to join the "great cause" of helping him to resurrect.

Then Lu Yunkai said a lot of weird things like "How lonely it is to be invincible", "Trust belongs to those who have no choice", "Servants are not worthy", etc., which made him feel hurt inside, but there was nothing he could do.

Because what Lu Yunkai said was really right.

It was delayed until the end of July. Seeing that he couldn't think of any better solution, Voldemort could only let Lu Yunkai do it himself.

After Lu Yunkai got this chicken feather, he immediately used it as a command.

He visited many of his Slytherin classmates' homes, and then found some strange reasons to ask their families some strange words that perhaps only Death Eaters with guilty consciences could understand.

His "imperial envoy" attitude made many people confusedly think that this guy had a complicated background and must have some connection with the wizard whose name cannot be mentioned...

Well, he did.

Those people who were not deeply involved in Voldemort's affairs, or who had "meritorious performance" after Voldemort's defeat (mostly reporting their former comrades), began to be suspicious.

In addition, in the past two or three years, Voldemort has been haunting Hogwarts, making these people vaguely feel that the Dark Lord may not be dead...

So, this group of people began to contact each other again, and recently seemed to be planning something famous, and even wanted to involve Lu Yunkai.

But during this period, Lu Yunkai had not looked for Lucius.

He had been waiting for Lucius to come to him...

That is, today, the day they had agreed to meet.

"Have you been waiting for me to come to you?"

"Hehe." Lu Yunkai smiled but did not answer.

"Just say it straight. You've been looking for so many people recently, why don't you look for me?"

"Because I don't want to disturb Draco's happy life. After all... some lives may be hard to come back once you go back."

Lu Yunkai's words were full of meaning, which made Lucius, who was originally serious, look pale.

"What do you mean? Do you have news about the Dark Lord?"

"Oh? You haven't? I thought he would inform you first!"

Lu Yunkai said with a smile.

Silence.

"Don't beat around the bush, what do you mean? For Draco's sake, can you show me a clear way?" Lucius lowered his voice.

At the same time, he also lowered his posture.

"Do you really believe that I did this on orders?"

"I have dealt with you before, and I know that you are not a follower of... that person. You suddenly did this, something must have happened. Could it be that you really..."

"If you really want to know, be prepared to lose a hand or a leg." Lu Yunkai glanced at Draco in front and whispered, "If you are not prepared, don't ask. That's not necessarily a bad thing for Draco."

"...Why? You didn't say this when you went to Crabbe and Goyle."

"You are different from them. The summer before last, I met a man in Liverpool who was said to have followed your advice and went there to stay with my adoptive father..."

"That's just because that person is too annoying..."

"No need to explain. If I really thought this was a big problem, I wouldn't tell you." Lu Yunkai interrupted Lucius, "You just understand what I mean."

"...That one...want to punish me?"

"Not to punish you. But... forget it."

Lu Yunkai interrupted.

Because he saw Draco turning back.

"You haven't finished speaking yet?" Draco was a little unhappy that Lu Yunkai had kept his words to his father for so long without telling him.

"That's it. Let's go! I'm also very curious about who was my adoptive father's protégé!"

Lu Yunkai smiled and came to Draco's side a few steps ahead, pulling him towards the Irish team's station.

…

"Good guy! Isn't this stadium too big?"

"Of course! This is a new stadium specially built by the Ministry of Magic for this year's Quidditch World Cup. Today is the first time it has been officially used!"

Draco had a proud look on his face.

Lu Yun smiled.

He didn't know what this kid had to be proud of. Is it because he didn't know the origin of this stadium that looked like it could hold at least 100,000 people?

Why should I know? I really have no interest in this game. If it hadn't been for a small accident at the excavation site of Mr. Greengrass a week ago. A curse bottle was inexplicably dug up and then broken, triggering the curse. Two people died at the scene. Lu Yunkai would be with Daphne now. Let’s drink and chat with my father-in-law on the other side of the ocean!

"To be able to sit in the minister's box at a stadium like this...ah! Who is over there!!"

Malfoy's voice suddenly rose another level.

Lu Yunkai followed his voice and looked over, his expression instantly becoming awkward.

He saw Harry and a group of Weasleys.

Of course, while Lu Yunkai and the others were walking in the exclusive passage leading to the minister's box, Harry and the others were climbing up a long staircase.

Well, looking at the brothers around Ron, Lu Yunkai could also understand Mr. Weasley's desire to buy tickets at a less expensive location... But, Draco, do you have to mock them?

Well, it seems Malfoy feels the need.

"Let's see, isn't this the famous Harry Potter? Why, your seats are still up there? I'm sure if it rains, you will be the first to know."

Draco said to Harry and Ron, who were already having a hard time climbing the stairs, with a smile on their face.

"Draco, shut up." Because of Lu Yunkai's nagging words, Lucius, who had been keeping a straight face in the Irish team lounge just now, stopped his son from showing off, "For those who can barely live and enjoy life while they can still People need to be compassionate.”

"Well, yes. But they may still have to climb for a long time! Let's go to the minister's box to have something to eat first, and then wait for the game to start. Let's go, Yun Kai." Draco said while looking at the person next to him who looked embarrassed. Lu Yun waved.

"…Okay, Harry."

"Well, Yun Kai, let's chat when you have time."

"OK."

Lu Yunkai awkwardly greeted Harry, and then ran all the way into the minister's box not far away.

Although it is called a private room, the space is really not small. There were about twenty people sitting scattered inside. After Lucius walked in with Lu Yunkai and Draco, he walked straight towards a fat wizard sitting in the middle and started chatting.

Next to him, Lu Yunkai listened with a smile on his face, and at the same time, his eyes were scanning the box.

Except for this fat man, whom Lucius calls "Director Bagman", who should be the Director of the Sports Department of the Ministry of Magic named Ludo Bagman, the other people in this box should be all kinds of people. A kind of "powerful person" like Lucius.

Of course, usually there are one or two chairs per person, but someone like Lucius who actually brought two people and sat next to the director seemed more special.

From this point of view, Draco does still have a little bit of pride.

But what Lu Yunkai noticed was a separate chair next to him.

There was no one on the chair, but next to it stood a small green-skinned house elf.

Hu flashed his big eyes and looked around.

And when it noticed Lu Yunkai looking at it, it quickly said something.

"I'm here to help the master occupy a seat!"

"...I didn't ask you."

Lu Yunkai looked at the nervous house elf and felt happy.

The house elf was stunned by Lu Yunkai's words and quickly looked away.

"Why do you always like to talk to such despicable things?" Draco, who was sitting next to Lu Yunkai, seemed a little unhappy, "I know you are kind, but this kind of creature is really not worth it."

"...I'm just used to it." Lu Yun smiled and didn't say anything to Draco.

No need.

"Draco, sit over there."

Lucius, who had finished chatting with the director, returned to his seat and pointed to the seat closer to the director among the three seats and said to Draco, who was sitting next to Lu Yunkai.

"Huh?" Draco was stunned.

"You can also chat with the director later." Lucius gave Draco a look.

"Oh! Okay!" Draco understood immediately.

His father wanted to go to the director to make a good impression! After all, after Draco graduated from Hogwarts, he still had to find something to do. Why not go to the Ministry of Magic? It would definitely be a good thing to have a good relationship with a director now!

Draco nodded quickly and gave up the seat next to Lu Yunkai.

Lucius sat down and looked at the audience who had already entered the huge and empty stadium singing and dancing, silent and silent.

Lu Yunkai's expression also became calm, his eyes looking at the stadium, silent.

After a while, the sound of Draco and the director chatting came from the side.

"What hands and feet you just mentioned, are they the conditions that the gentleman set for forgiving us?"

Lucius lowered his voice and whispered.

"No." Lu Yunkai's voice was also low, "It's just that he needs it."

"...So, he really came back?"

"Hehe." Lu Yunkai smiled and didn't answer directly.

"A hand, or a leg?" Lucius's face was livid.

"Of course you can choose not to know. Then it won't be necessary."

"Can you please stop saying such sarcastic remarks!"

"This is not sarcastic remarks. He only needs one person to dedicate himself to him. So far, no one I have found is willing. Are you willing?"

"..."

"If you don't want to, then don't ask! I will say that I haven't found you, and you don't know. Anyway, he doesn't trust you that much..."

"Don't trust me?"

"Not only you, he doesn't trust anyone." Lu Yunkai's mouth corners pulled an arc, "So, just say you don't know, and then put the blame on me."

"Can you find someone willing to do it this way?"

"There will always be people who feel guilty and want to get his forgiveness, and then willingly offer a part of their body. I can only find it slowly." Lu Yunkai looked calm, "He is not in a hurry. Anyway, he is immortal."

"... Yeah."

After hearing what Lu Yunkai said, Lucius's face improved a little bit.

...
