Chapter 10: A Thunder Spell Shocks Everyone
"You pretty boy, you're here. Let me show you how I'm going to punish you."

Liu Bang hid on one side and saw Ye Yu being welcomed in by the steward of Lu's mansion. He also heard the servants at the door of Lu's mansion discussing Ye Yu. After confirming Ye Yu's identity, he couldn't help but think resentfully in his heart.

"Which noble family master is this?"

"What? He's the alchemist from Hidden Immortal Peak? Oh, so that's it, he's the disciple of Master Xu."

"It seems that the Lu family has a special relationship with this Taoist priest!"

……

The major gentry and wealthy families in the surrounding Pei County were all discussing Ye Yu in low voices, which immediately made Liu Bang even more indignant.

However, when he saw Ye Yu just now, Liu Bang understood why Lu Zhi favored Ye Yu.

Ye Yu is indeed good-looking.

"But it doesn't matter. After this, I believe that the people in the Lu Mansion will no longer like him."

When Liu Bang thought of his plan, he couldn't help feeling secretly proud.

At this time, Ye Yu had already entered the Lu Mansion under the guidance of the Lu Mansion's housekeeper and sat down at the seat in the hall.

"Sir, you haven't asked for advice yet?"

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a scholar's robe and with a gentle face saw Ye Yu being welcomed in directly by the Lu family's housekeeper, and seeing that Ye Yu had an extraordinary appearance, he immediately wanted to make friends with him.

"Ye Yu! A scholar from Yinxian Peak."

Ye Yu stood up and spoke politely to the newcomer.

"You are the disciple of Master Xu. I am so sorry for my disrespect. I am Xiao He."

The original owner's master, Xu Fangshi, had some fame in the area within dozens of miles. In Pei County near Yinxian Peak, his reputation was naturally even more famous.

Almost whenever Ye Yu mentioned Hidden Immortal Peak, everyone would involuntarily mention Xu Fangshi.

"Xiao He?"

Ye Yu was stunned for a moment, then he thought, yes, Xiao He was indeed present at Lu Gong's banquet, and he was the one who hosted the reception. No wonder he saw that he, a stranger, seemed to have some status, so he came to get to know him.

Xiao He is now in Pei County, serving as the chief clerk, or Gongcao, and his status is not low.

And the fact that Xiao He came here to help the Lu Mansion host the reception was obviously commissioned by the county magistrate, which indirectly proved to outsiders that Lu Gong was indeed related to the county magistrate.

Ye Yu chatted with Xiao He for a while and they got along quite well. Until he saw a new guest entering the hall, he said goodbye to Ye Yu and went to show the guest to take a seat.

"Friend Ye, I am sorry for being so slow and not being able to go out to greet you."

As soon as Xiao He left, Lu Gong walked in from the back of the hall. When he saw Ye Yu sitting there, his eyes lit up immediately and he hurried over to greet Ye Yu.

"Lü Gong!"

Ye Yu bowed to Lu Gong and greeted him with a smile.

Lu Gong was about fifty years old, with gray hair, but it was combed neatly and tied with a small black crown. There was a scholarly air in his every move.

"Lü Zhi and Lü Shu have been thinking about you all the time. Let's go back later today and catch up after the banquet."

Lu Gong was very enthusiastic about Ye Yu and invited Ye Yu to meet his two daughters after the banquet.

Yes, this is different from the historical situation where Lu Gong had five children. Lu Zhi only had one younger sister named Lu Shu.

While the two were chatting, there was suddenly a commotion outside.

"Liu Ji, this is not a place for you to mess around, why don't you leave quickly."

Xiao He's voice came from outside the hall.

It turned out that when Xiao He was receiving the guests, he had announced a rule that those who presented gifts worth less than one thousand yuan should sit in the hall.

However, Ye Yu had a special relationship and was invited in directly, which was different.

Liu Bang, this second-rate guy, was even more exaggerated. In order to get a seat in the hall, he asked the messenger to falsely report a gift of 10,000 yuan, but in fact he had no money at all.

When he wanted to come in, he was stopped by Xiao He who knew him.

"I didn't expect Liu Bang to come."

Ye Yu was speechless for a moment. Those ruffians from Fanbei were really useless. He thought Liu Bang had been driven out of Pei County, but he didn't expect them to still come.

Hearing the noise, Lu Gong could no longer sit still and immediately stood up and walked outside. Ye Yu also stood up and went outside.

At this time, Xiao He had already asked several servants from Lu's mansion to stop Liu Bang and was about to drive him out.

Lu Gong also saw this scene. Ye Yu waited to see whether Lu Gong would really stop others from driving Liu Bang away and welcome Liu Bang to the seat of honor.

"Don't pull me, I'm here to find that evil Taoist priest."

However, Lu Gong did not say anything. On the other side, Liu Bang saw Ye Yu, his eyes lit up, and he pointed at Ye Yu and spoke loudly.

"what?"

"An alchemist who harms people?"

Hearing Liu Bang's shout and pointing, everyone around couldn't help but look at Ye Yu, feeling confused and uncertain.

"It's him, all of you get out of the way, don't pull me."

When Liu Bang saw the surprised and suspicious looks on everyone's faces, he was immediately overjoyed. He quickly pushed away the servants from Lu's mansion who were pulling him, with a face full of righteousness.

"I have someone..."

Liu Bang was planning to throw dirty water on Ye Yu, and even found a woman to act, pointing at Ye Yu and talking loudly.

"boom!"

However, at this moment, before Liu Bang finished his words, a blazing bolt of lightning suddenly illuminated the surroundings and headed straight for Liu Bang. With a dull bang, it landed directly on Liu Bang.

No matter how cunning he was, when Ye Yu saw someone trying to plot against him, he would just slap out a palm of lightning.

“This, this!!!!”

Seeing this scene, for a moment, everyone present widened their eyes and showed expressions of disbelief and shock.

There was dead silence in the Lu Mansion at this moment. Everyone present looked at Ye Yu in horror, almost dumbfounded.

What they all saw was that the Taoist priest Ye Yu, who had just been accused, suddenly shot out a bolt of lightning from his hand, which struck Liu Bang with a bang.

This scene is so shocking and unbelievable.

Isn't this a power that only immortals in legends possess?
Just as everyone was dumbfounded, Liu Bang, who was struck by lightning, stiffened instantly, and then with a dull bang, he fell directly to the ground.

"Crackling~"

When he fell to the ground, some tiny arcs of electricity flashed across his hair, scaring the people around him so much that they stepped back.

At this time, Liu Bang was lying on the ground with large charred marks on his chest and a faint smell of burning filling the air.

There was a hint of fear in his pupils and his whole body was twitching from time to time. It was obvious that he was not dead yet, but he could not stand up for the time being.

Ye Yu, who had entered the extraordinary realm, had no time to play any conspiracies or tricks with Liu Bang.

No matter how much he jumped, in Ye Yu's eyes, he was just an ant and could be suppressed with ease.

Ye Yu didn’t deliberately look for him before, just because he didn’t want to waste time on him. Unexpectedly, he came to him this time.

And it seemed that he was still trying to play some tricks, so Ye Yu simply gave him a thunder spell.

However, Ye Yu still restrained himself, otherwise Liu Bang would have been struck to death by lightning.

"Lü Er, go! Find that scoundrel Fan Bei and bring him here."

Ye Yu waved his hand, pointed to a servant from the Lu Mansion whom he knew, and gave him instructions.

"Yes, yes, Master Ye!"

Lu Er, whose name was called by Ye Yu, shuddered all over at once, came back to his senses from the shock, looked at Ye Yu in amazement, his face flushed with excitement, stammered in response, and ran out.

"This is, this is the power of thunder and lightning!"

"Immortal magic, immortal magic!"

"Did you all see that? Oh my god!"

"Alchemist, so alchemists really know magic, no wonder the current Emperor Qin Shi Huang believes in it so much."
