Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 240: Questionable move

It is never right to decide and take action to someone who has the capacity to think and the will to choose between right and wrong just because he may cause a crisis in the future.

By labeling that being as a fugitive, isn't like declaring a very early war?

Lou Ren nodded his head, "It does not make sense to hunt someone just because of something that was not even done yet." It's a questionable move.

If Wei Jiayi decided to something this stupid, he will not follow his command silently. Thankful his master is not that unreasonable.

What if the hunt is the main reason why the fugitive decided to act against everyone?

"What else?" Gao Lan Mei asked while looking at Li Shao intently.

"The fugitive is a female keeper." Li Shao whispered under his breath after dropping the detail that he is pretty much sure no one wants to hear.

Gao Lan Mei crossed her arms over her chest impatiently but still with an indifferent expression on her beautiful face, "Continue." she said casually when he pause for while.

Li Shao is not sure why he is expecting Gao Lan Mei to show a very strong reaction. Perhaps because one, she is a Keeper, and a female as well.

If these concerns her, it is perfectly hidden on her face. Who knows what is running to her head at that moment?

"The divine priest wants to catch the keeper alive." Li Shao added, then releasing a deep breath before continuing, "On top of that, there is a reward for the whoever captured her, a drop of the elixir of the Gods." he said with a very annoyed expression.

"That's is stupid!" Xi Jun exclaimed. "The elixir of the Gods is a myth!" He added indignantly. "What else do you know?" Glaring at Li Shao as he clenches his fists trying to suppress destroying something.

Gao Lan Mei eyes suddenly brightened and glinted slyly but it disappeared quickly so no one notices it. Everyone is just too concerned about the news to even bother.

For Gao Lan Mei it really it is not a big deal as the Shen Yu Divine Priest requested everyone to keep the Keeper alive.

Unless they are able to encounter someone who would use underhanded ways just for their goal, that will really make her unsettled.

The elixir is a sacred liquid that can give immortality. There is also a rumor that it can bring someone back from the Underworld.

Gao Lan Mei can also use the elixir to bring Feng Ji back as well as Yen Mngju's lover, though the woman probably already got reincarnated.

For the others, they can only depend to what the Divine Temple's claims regarding the elixirs existence since there is really no proven details regarding it. Despite this everyone will still jump to the chance to hunt the fugitive.

Blind belief or just plain greediness for most, however, that is not the case for Gao Lan Mei as she knows that the elixir really can bring back someone back to life.

The ingredients to make it is almost impossible to attain again as it was from the place she was confined. There is no way she will go back there unless she dies.

Why not take advantage of the situation? As long as no one is hurt, she is willing to cooperate.

While Gao Lan Mei is counting the positives of the current situation, the rest is doing the opposite.

For them, the Divine Temple is not only trying to catch a keeper that they already branded as criminal without doing anything yet, but everyone is sure that they have another motive behind the action.

"What else do you know?" Lou Ren asked wanting to hear more before thinking of the next action.

Most Keepers are under Wei Jiayi's protection, that also means the Wei Palace is the one that will be affected the most.
