Chapter 171 Master Is Here to Take You Home

In the highest meeting room of the Demon Slayer Division, all the senior officials of the Demon Slayer Division gathered together.

Dozens of senior human race officials were vaguely divided into two factions.

Before Lin Yuan started to speak, Li Junchang took the lead and said, "Chief, what do you mean by not dealing with Gu Jia's matter?"

"Now the public resentment has boiled over. If the situation continues like this, the prestige of our Demon Slayer Division will be lost."

"How will we manage the people and resist the monsters then?"

"The identity of the demon spy has been revealed, why hasn't she been executed for so long?"

Lin Yuan knew very well that if the public opinion was so serious this time, Sun City must be behind it.

Li Junchang has always been at odds with Lin Yuan, and he will never let go of this opportunity to defeat his mortal enemy.

It's not that Lin Yuan has never thought about deposing Li Junchang, but the situation in Sun City is extremely special. It belongs to the Li family and cannot tolerate anyone else's interference.

If you take one careless step, it may trigger a civil war among the human race.

When Fengdu City was still there, Dawn City could be used as the logistics center. In recent years, Fengdu City has been destroyed and the logistics center has been moved to Sun City, further fueling Li Junchang's arrogance.

Seeing Li Junchang's menacing attack today, Lin Yuan was calm and calm, and slowly said, "I have contacted Gui She about this matter, and I agree with his statement that Gu Jia is not guilty. "

"She should not have to bear any penalty."

As soon as he said this, the whole hall was shocked.

Everyone looked at Lin Yuan blankly, and you could tell from their expressions what they wanted to say...

Are you crazy?

The demonic aura in Gu Jia's body is real, and many people have sensed it.

Even though the ghost snake is strong, it can't be so domineering, right?

Referring to a deer as a horse? ?

Li Junchang laughed in anger. He never expected that his old opponent who had been fighting for so many years would actually make such a low-level mistake.

Didn't this hand the hilt of the knife to his hand?

"Lin Yuan... do you know what you are talking about?" Li Junchang stared at Lin Yuan and said word by word, "Can you bear the consequences of doing this?"

"You are treasonous by shielding the demon clan and ignoring the interests of the human race!"

"On this charge, you can be sent to the guillotine!"

Lin Yuan ignored Li Junchang's naked threat and looked around calmly.

Those senior officials who secretly supported Li Junchang, no matter how well they usually disguised themselves, could not help but show a little bit of joy at this moment.

All this was captured by Lin Yuan.

He silently wrote down their names and took this opportunity to eliminate all potential threats.

The human race is approaching the moment of life and death, and there is no room for any hidden dangers.

"I know what I'm talking about and I take responsibility for what I say."

"Tomorrow, as the chief of the Demon Slaying Department, I will issue the highest order and deal with this matter publicly."

"Do you have any more questions?"

Lin Yuan's voice was sonorous and powerful, full of confidence, and the momentum of someone who had been in a high position for a long time instantly convinced everyone.

The senior executives of Li Junchang's group were vaguely murmuring in their hearts.

Shouldn't...

Was it really a mistake?

Is there anything that can't be reversed in this matter?

"Okay!" Seeing that the morale of his army was shaken, Li Junchang hurriedly stood up and shouted, "If you can't give us a satisfactory answer tomorrow, I don't see how you can have the dignity to be the chief of the Demon Slayer Division!"

The meeting ended in a very unpleasant atmosphere.

Lin Yuan's close relatives all spontaneously stayed and gathered around him.

"Junhou, are you really sure about what will happen tomorrow?" Zhong Peipei's brows were full of worry, "If you are really forced to do nothing, do you need me to find a way to get Gu Jia away?"

"It should be able to delay it for a little while."

Lin Yuan waved his hand and said to his confidants, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Seeing that his subordinates still looked worried, Lin Yuan did not explain, but looked out the window calmly.

I believe him.

Lin Yuan thought silently in his heart.

...

Shadow Moon Pavilion.

The prison where Gu Jia is imprisoned is the highest-standard single room in Shadow Moon Pavilion.

The living facilities in the room are all available, except that there are no windows, there is not much difference from ordinary guest rooms.

Gu Jia sat quietly on the chair, staring blankly at the floor.

She didn't remember how she got here, she only knew that there were people patrolling outside the door 24 hours a day.

They watched Gu Jia vigilantly through the thick metal wall, fearing that she would have the slightest accident.

"I wonder how Sister Su He is doing now..."

Gu Jia muttered a little aggrievedly.

She tried asking the guards outside the door through the observation window, but they all avoided her as if they had seen a ghost.

Nowadays, Gu Jia's situation makes no one dare to approach him casually, for fear of getting themselves into trouble.

The crime of colluding with the demon clan is too serious. If you are caught, you will die. No one can bear it.

Crunch——

The metal door suddenly opened.

Gu Jia raised his head in confusion, but there was no one outside the door.

These days, all the guards delivered food to her through a dedicated window and never opened the door.

Why today...

Before Gu Jia could react, a figure gradually appeared in the void in front of him.

"Who are you..." Gu Jia's dull eyes stared blankly at the stranger in front of her. She always felt familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.

Lu Changsheng looked at the emaciated eldest disciple and stretched out his hand with some distress, wanting to touch his disciple's head.

Gu Jia took a few steps back in fear and huddled in the corner.

Those helpless and frightened eyes reminded Lu Changsheng of the way the master and apprentice looked when they first met.

He did not continue to approach, but kept a certain distance from Gu Jia and sat on the cold ground.

"Jia'er, do you want to try this?" Lu Changsheng took out a box of ribs from behind his back like a magic trick.

As the lid of the lunch box was opened, the rich aroma of meat instantly filled the entire room.

"Gulu"

Gu Jia swallowed subconsciously, still looking at Lu Changsheng with some fear, and did not dare to reach out to get it.

"Jia'er, this is what we ate when we first met."

"The first dish master teaches you is also pork ribs."

Lu Changsheng tapped his fingers, and the lunch box filled with ribs was gently moved to Gu Jia's side.

"Master?"

"You...taught me how to cook pork ribs?"

Some memories seemed to be surging in Gu Jia's mind, and the black shadow covering his mind was gradually loosening.

Lu Changsheng nodded and said with a smile, "Jia'er, do you know? Master has experienced the emperor's addiction in the past few days. Don't tell me, it's quite exciting."

"It's just that they don't understand...

Master, I... and you are actually the same...

What I really want has never been the Supreme Being. It is not that he is invincible and dominates the world.

What I want is a family that can be together forever.

When I came into this world alone, no one cared about me and no one knew I existed.

Every day, I am looking forward to your arrival.

I waited year after year, year after year...

Sometimes I can't help but wonder, will I never be able to wait?

Will...

I'm just like this, dying alone in this foreign land?

Until that day, I met you at the vegetable market in Lincheng.

From that day on, I was never alone.

I finally have a family that belongs to me. "

Gu Jia's body trembled slightly, tears welled up in his eyes, and a light gradually lit up in his originally numb eyes.

"Master..."

Lu Changsheng slowly approached Gu Jia and reached out to touch his apprentice's head again.

This time, Gu Jia did not avoid it.

"Don't be afraid, Jia'er."

"Master, I'm here to take you home."
