Si Wuya's kneeling silenced the people in the southern pavilion.
Others could not interfere in his affairs, nor could they interfere. They could only watch from the side.
Duanmu Sheng walked over. He fell to one knee and said, "Master, I was the one who released him. Princess Yong Ning has done him a favor. I didn't think too much about it. I just wanted them to bid farewell. "
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. He swept his gaze across the others.
He was slightly shocked when he saw Si Wuya's wretched expression. He did not expect Si Wuya to be tormented to this extent by the Mathematics questions.
It was clear how stubborn Si Wuya was.
Lu Zhou looked at the three elders of the Old Age Pavilion and asked, "What's the situation?"
Hua Wudao, Leng Luo, and Pan Litian explained their diagnoses to Lu Zhou.
After understanding the basic situation, Lu Zhou had a rough idea of what was going on.
He now had two Critical Heal Cards and two strengthened Critical Heal Cards … It should not be a big problem.
It's just that … this old man isn't going to save him just because I say so.
"Are you begging me?" Lu Zhou asked.
Si Wuya prostrated himself and said, "I beg you, master. Even if there's only a sliver of hope, you must save her life."
"Give me a reason to save her," Lu Zhou said.
"…"
Lu Zhou's words not only stunned Si Wuya, but it also stunned the others.
Based on our relationship as master and disciple, I'm already being extremely benevolent by helping you resolve the siege of Liang Province. Moreover, you've betrayed your sect, and you're still treating me with such an attitude … If I don't have some dignity, how am I supposed to face myself in the future?
Si Wuya was no fool. Naturally, he understood what his master meant.
Using Master's excuse? This was equivalent to slapping his own mouth.
However, there didn't seem to be any other reason.
After mulling it over for a moment, Si Wuya asked, "What do I have to do to get you to help, master?"
Lu Zhou did not answer his question immediately. Instead, he walked toward Princess Yong Ning's room. The others parted to make way for him.
"It's too early to say that. The three elders have already said that there's no hope of saving him. If that's the case, there's no point in you begging me."
After saying this, Lu Zhou pushed the door open and entered the room.
Si Wuya hastily rose to his feet and followed them respectfully.
He entered the room.
The others could only wait outside.
Walking past the screen and into the inner chamber, Zhang Xuan saw Princess Yong Ning with her eyes tightly shut.
His face was haggard and his lips were chapped.
Upon seeing this, Si Wuya frowned. His thoughts were complicated and indescribable.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and shook his head lightly. "What did you do to deserve this little girl's devotion?"
"…"
When Si Wuya looked at Princess Yong Ning who lay on the bed with her eyes tightly shut, he felt as though there was a suffocating feeling in his chest.
Memories of the past kept flashing before his eyes … Admiring the scenery together, reciting poems together, discussing the past and the present together … Perhaps it had something to do with his experiences growing up, but he seemed to be a complete blank when it came to women. He was completely unaware that the two of them had already become rather close at that time. By the time he realized it, it was already too late.
Things are always unexpected.
Within the walls of the palace, many things were beyond one's control.
He didn't think that he had feelings … But when he thought back to Princess Yong Ning, who had risked her life for him, he couldn't help but think. How could he turn a blind eye to it?
Master was right.
What right and virtue did he have to make others die for him?
Lu Zhou walked up to the bed and took her pulse.
A moment later, the diagnosis was completed.
Just as the three elders had said, the energy blade had damaged her internal organs.
Based on his initial judgment, if it were an ordinary energy blade, she would only need to rest and recuperate. However, it seemed like the energy blade had a corrosive effect as well.
The accumulated injuries suddenly erupted and worsened, resulting in today's outcome.
Lu Zhou stood up and stroked his beard.
"She can still be saved."
Si Wuya was delighted. He was about to kneel and beg for mercy.
Lu Zhou said, "Do you really not know where the memory crystal is?"
"Rongxi or Rongbei … Ever since I returned to the Evil Sky Pavilion, everything I've said has been the truth. If I've lied, I'll be struck by lightning," Si Wuya said.
After all, he had sealed the memory crystal with his own hands. Indeed, it was impossible for others to know where it was.
"The battle in Liang Province was planned meticulously. If Yu Zhenghai were here, the Nether Sect would've won the battle … I'm curious, why isn't he here? "Lu Zhou asked.
"According to the initial plan, Eldest Senior Brother should've appeared in Liang Province. Later on … I considered the variables and made a backup plan. Xiang Lie is one of them. As long as nothing happens to Eldest Senior Brother, it's only a matter of time before the Nether Sect wins, "Si Wuya said.
"Do you think Yu Zhenghai has the ability to conquer the Divine Capital?" Lu Zhou asked.
"There's no need for that …"
"Are you that confident?"
Si Wuya was slightly taken aback. However, he still said, "Liu Gu is a fatuous ruler. We should stand up against him."
"A fatuous ruler?"
Lu Zhou had never asked about the palace's affairs.
Back then, he met Emperor Yong Shou. Although Emperor Yong Shou, Liu Ge, was not a founding emperor, he was still a competent emperor. How did Liu Gu become a fatuous ruler?
"After Liu Gu ascended the throne, he never attended court and neglected politics. He's been studying the secrets of longevity and the Nine-leaf stage in secret … He's the true culprit behind the disappearance of the Fairfolk in Measure Heaven River, "Si Wuya said.
Lu Zhou frowned.
Si Wuya continued to say, "According to the records, riding Cheng Huang will grant one 2,000 years of life … In order to find Cheng Huang, Liu Gu massacred the Fish Dragon Village. After that, he spent a decade fishing for corpses in search of Cheng Huang. In order to find the secrets of the Nine-leaf stage, he didn't hesitate to replicate the Ten Terminal Formation in many cities and kill cultivators as experiments … "
"The Black Knights' massacre of Upper Prime City was ordered by him … Leng Luo was once a Black Knight. We can confront him about this. Also, the 30,000 corpses in Nine Tune River …"
"That's enough."
Lu Zhou's voice suddenly rang in the air, interrupting Si Wuya.
He knew what Si Wuya was trying to say. Si Wuya wanted to say how ruthless and cruel Liu Gu was. Lu Zhou had learned this from the battle in the Obedient Villa. Liu Gu was indifferent to the death of the Second Prince, Liu Huan. It was clear how cold and terrifying Liu Gu was.
"Do you want to be a hero who can change the world?" Lu Zhou asked.
"I'm not that ambitious. That's what you want, Eldest Senior Brother … I just want to know one thing," Si Wuya said.
"What is it?" Lu Zhou's expression remained unchanged as he stared at Si Wuya.
Si Wuya looked up and said, "I want to know why Great Yan's Imperial family has been able to rule the world for so long. I want to know what secrets Great Yan's Imperial family is hiding! "
His reply was neither too fast nor too slow.
Lu Zhou frowned again. He had expected Si Wuya to tell him about Yu Zhenghai or the memory crystal. She did not expect Si Wuya's focus to be on the Imperial family. Was this the reason he joined the palace and became the Grand Tutor? Logically, it seemed very reasonable …
Why would Si Wuya have such a strange thought?
Si Wuya seemed to have read his master's mind. He said, "The Eight-leaf stage and the Ten Terminal Formation … are far from enough!"
He paused for a moment before continuing, "If you don't believe me, I can order the people in the Dark Net to send me the core information."
Lu Zhou said.
"Even if you figure it out, what's the use?"
Cough.
Cough, cough, cough —
Princess Yong Ning suddenly coughed violently.
Upon seeing this, Si Wuya hastily fell to his knees. "Please help, master!"
