With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 482 General Lu





Since we were already here, there was no need to hesitate.

But of course, we wouldn't bring everyone with us to this meeting with General Lu.

So in the end, it was only me and Mu Bao Bao who went to meet General Lu and his men.

General Lu had constructed a military camp not far away from the closest town to the Gale Sect. From here, he was able to monitor the actions of the Gale Sect while also easily maintaining a line of supplies.

It could be considered the best position for the operation that they were about to undertake.

But of course, if it remained here for too long, then the Gale Sect would eventually learn of this and would become suspicious of this camp.

For that reason, there had been a reason for their appearance in this area.

Simply put, they were here to clear out some of the spirit beasts on behalf of the town.

The mayor of the town had sent a request to the central government a while back because the spirit beast population had become quite bad recently. He had also sent the same request to the Gale Sect for help, but the Gale Sect had completely ignored him because he was just a mayor of a small town.

Even though the Gale Sect did depend on this town for their supplies and future disciples, they weren't willing to raise a hand to help those they thought were mortals.

So for the mayor, General Lu's army was a godsend.

At the same time, the Gale Sect didn't dare say anything since this was technically a problem that they had neglected.

Not to mention, they weren't willing to completely fall out with the governing body of the Mu Empire yet. They still needed to get close to the Mu Empire since they were supporting the twelfth prince.

So they didn't say a thing about General Lu building his camp here.

When they arrived, the first thing that happened was that they were questioned by the guards of the camp on what they were doing here.

The moment that Lin Fan showed the guards his decree from Emperor Mu, the expression of the guards immediately changed.

They quickly allowed Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao into the camp before arranging them to stay in one of the tents.

It didn't take long before the sounds of hurried footsteps came from outside and a group of people came into the tent.

This group of people were all wearing military armour, making it clear that they were important people. At the head of this group was a man that had a powerful slaughter aura, making it clear that he was the general.

This group looked at the two of them before turning to the cloaked figure that was Mu Bao Bao. The general suddenly asked, "If I may be so bold to ask, may I know your identity?"

Mu Bao Bao was surprised to hear this, but after receiving a nod from Lin Fan, she took off her cloak.

The moment that she did, all of the officers here revealed shocked looks.

First, it was because they had never seen a woman as beautiful as Mu Bao Bao before.

Second, it was because this was the face that they had been waiting for.

Without any further hesitation after coming back to their senses, the officers and the general all fell to one knee and bowed to Mu Bao Bao.

Mu Bao Bao couldn't help being caught off guard since she never expected this kind of treatment from them. After all, she didn't know who these people were at all, so it was strange for her to see them treating her with this kind of respect.

After a long period of silence, General Lu finally raised his head and said, "Your highness, I am overjoyed to see that you are safe and sound. There hasn't been a single day where this Lu hasn't been worried about your highness' safety."

Mu Bao Bao revealed a very confused look when she heard this.

She looked carefully at General Lu's face, but no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't find anything that she recognized about this face.

She was certain that she had never met this person before, so why was he treating her like this?

After an awkward silence, Mu Bao Bao said in an awkward voice, "And you are?"

There was a tinge of a hurt look that appeared in General Lu's eyes, but it quickly disappeared as he said, "Your highness, I was one of the attendants that served your mother. I was there to take care of you when you were younger." After a pause, he said in a sad voice, "It was also my fault that you were kidnapped."

Mu Bao Bao immediately knitted her brows and there was a trace of hostility that appeared in her eyes when she heard this. However, before she could act on this, Lin Fan patted the back of her hand to calm her down.

She looked at him and took a deep breath before asking, "What happened?"

The sadness in General Lu's voice became heavier as he said, "I was one of the ones that was assigned to watch over you. However, because of an incident with the mistress, we had to leave your highness alone for a second. It was during that second that you were kidnapped."

Mu Bao Bao looked at General Lu with a calm look on her face, as if she was judging his sincerity. Seeing that he was sincere about what he had said, she gave a sigh before saying, "It's not your fault."

General Lu revealed a touched look, but then he shook his head and said, "If it wasn't for our mistake, your highness would have never been kidnapped and lost for so long."

Mu Bao Bsao shook her head too and said, "No, you were nothing more than cogs in something much bigger than yourselves. You shouldn't blame yourselves for something that you can't control."

General Lu looked at Mu Bao Bao with a touched look as he said, "Your highness…"

There was a silence that filled this tent, but Mu Bao Bao broke it by asking in a soft voice, "My mother…Is my mother alright?"

This was one thing that Mu Bao Bao had always been curious about, but she had never had a chance to ask this.

She didn't want to talk about this with Emperor Mu and she even felt that he wouldn't answer her questions if she had asked. As for the fourth prince, she felt awkward talking to him about this since she hadn't fully accepted him yet.

So she had never been able to get any information on her mother.

She didn't even know if her mother was still alive or not.

General Lu was surprised to hear this, but then he said, "The mistress is very well right now."

When Mu Bao Bao heard this, she couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief. She didn't even know why she did this for a person that she had never met before, but the moment that she heard what General Lu said, it was like a stone had fallen down in her heart.

She couldn't help wondering what kind of person her mother was…

So she said, "Where is my mother right now?"

At this, General Lu revealed a difficult look before saying, "The mistress…she is in a difficult situation right now and can't move freely."

Mu Bao Bao immediately knitted her brows when she heard this as she said, "Didn't you say that my mother was well? Why did you lie to me?"

General Lu waved his hands and said, "No, no, the mistress is without a doubt well…it's just that she is in a difficult situation where she can't move as freely. I hope your highness understands that the mistress has her own circumstances."

Mu Bao Bao knitted her brows even more before asking, "Where is she right now?"

General Lu's difficult look became even more difficult as he said, "Did his majesty not tell you?"

Mu Bao Bao revealed a look of slight anger when she heard the person she didn't want to think about be brought up. But she still shook her head and said, "He didn't tell me anything."

General Lu took a deep breath before saying, "Your highness, if his majesty has not told you anything, then it is not my place to speak. I hope that you can understand."

Mu Bao Bao revealed a very displeased look when she heard this, but in the end, it was Lin Fan who calmed her down.

He had already guessed that something had happened with Mu Bao Bao's mother, which was why Emperor Mu had done all the things that he had done. Even now, the matter with the Gale Sect was most likely something that he was doing for her…

So all that he could do now was make sure that this matter went smoothly.

Mu Bao Bao turned to look at Lin Fan again and after a while, she revealed a very disappointed look before letting her expression return to normal.

Seeing this, General Lu couldn't help feeling a bit surprised.

After all, he never expected there to be someone that could influence her highness this much.

This was not a good thing for her highness in the future, so he couldn't help feeling worried.

At the same time, he was someone that had helped raise Mu Bao Bao, so he took himself as her grandfather in a sense.

After a moment of silence, General Lu asked, "Your highness, who is this person? What is your relationship with them?"
