Jiang Aijian was inwardly shocked. He looked at Lu Zhou incredulously.
He felt so guilty that his legs turned to jelly.
"Old Senior Ji, what … what are you talking about? I don't understand …" Jiang Aijian said with a dry chuckle.
Lu Zhou said slowly, "You're from the palace."
He spoke in a declarative tone, not a question. Lu Zhou was certain of Jiang Aijian's identity.
Jiang Aijian's heart skipped a beat. He forced a smile on his face and said, "How can I possibly be from the palace …"
Lu Zhou did not refute him.
Jiang Aijian was a smart man. There was no need to waste time talking to a smart man.
He knew what the monks of the Temple of Great Emptiness were up to. He knew about the grand ceremony, and he knew Zhuo Ping was from the palace. Most importantly, when he boarded the carriage, he mentioned that someone from the palace had arrived.
What kind of person would know about the holy altar's plans like the back of his hand?
Moreover, he knew about the palace's plans.
Lu Zhou had Mingshi Yin leave on Whitzard while he stayed behind. The elites from the palace did not show up. Clearly, they had learned of Lu Zhou's identity and did not dare to be suspicious.
This was enough to prove that someone had been sending them information about what happened to the Zhao Yue She-Devil.
When Jiang Aijian learned that Lu Zhou was the Evil Sky Pavilion's master, he panicked. This had disrupted the palace's plans. He was flustered.
There were signs that Jiang Aijian was from the palace as well.
"I've always made my decisions clear … You're a smart man, you should know what I mean," Lu Zhou said calmly.
Jiang Aijian fell silent.
His silence was equivalent to an admission.
Beating around the bush would only waste each other's time.
Jiang Aijian sighed softly and said, "You have a good eye, Old Senior Ji."
Lu Zhou stood with his hands on his back and remained silent.
Jiang Aijian continued to say, "You're only half right, old senior … Indeed, I'm from the palace, but that's all in the past. I've left that place a long time ago. There are too many scandals in the palace. It's not suitable for someone like me to stay. "
As he spoke, he sighed heavily. The mischievous smile on his face was gone.
"Apart from scheming against each other, there's only deceit in the palace … Old senior, do you believe what I'm saying?"
He felt that if he suddenly said these words to an old devil, he wouldn't be trusted, right?
"I have my own judgment," Lu Zhou answered ambiguously.
Jiang Aijian shook his head helplessly and said, "Everyone has their own aspirations. I like the outside world. It's free and unrestrained. My friend, on the other hand, preferred to stay in the palace. When we have nothing to do, we can drink wine together and share some news from the palace. "
Speaking of this.
Everything made sense.
Otherwise, how could an itinerant cultivator like Jiang Aijian know the palace's plans so well?
"Unfortunately, some of my friends wanted to come out, but it was already too late. Some are addicted to power. Some of them are dead … "Jiang Aijian said casually.
Lu Zhou said, "Their lives have nothing to do with me."
Jiang Aijian nodded in agreement.
The people in the palace were much more complicated than the outside world.
Jiang Aijian took a deep breath and asked tentatively, "Old senior, since you're aware of my identity … Does that mean we can nullify our agreement?"
He cherished his life dearly.
When he spoke, he was wary of Lu Zhou. He wasn't sure if this seemingly calm old man would make a move on him!
Lu Zhou shook his head and said indifferently, "You can try."
"…"
'I don't think I can get off this pirate ship anymore.'
Jiang Aijian was speechless. He said, "However, if the others find out … Will I be able to keep my life?"
"I don't care about that," Lu Zhou said.
'If you're so good at keeping yourself alive, why would you need help?'
"…"
Lu Zhou turned to face Jiang Aijian and said, "As long as you don't oppose the Evil Sky Pavilion, I won't ask you anything."
It was only natural for people with special talents to have more space.
Lu Zhou said, "Since you're from the palace, I'm sure you know the Evil Sky Pavilion well … You should know how the Evil Sky Pavilion operates."
Jiang Aijian nodded.
He sighed and said, "Fine … Then, about the sword you promised, old senior …"
"Of course."
Jiang Aijian hugged the sword and snapped his fingers. "It's settled, then."
Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction. He waved his sleeve lightly, and Bi An galloped over.
"I can't be bothered with the palace's affairs. However, it's best if they don't drag the Evil Sky Pavilion into their internal strife. "Lu Zhou leaped onto Bi An.
Little Yuan 'er made a face at Jiang Aijian before she leaped onto Bi An as well.
Jiang Aijian cupped his fists and remained silent.
Bi An rose into the air and sped toward the Evil Sky Pavilion.
At this moment, Jiang Aijian sat limply on the ground.
What surprised him was that the old senior did not ask about what happened in the palace.
This was good. There were many things he dared not say.
Meanwhile, Bi An was flying in the air.
Lu Zhou checked the system dashboard. He now had 5,010 merit points. Obtaining a spy only added 500 merit points. However, this was not too bad. After all, they were only working together. Someone like Jiang Aijian was not suited to be a subordinate.
"Master … Are we really not going to the Divine Capital?" Little Yuan 'er mumbled.
Lu Zhou reprimanded her in a low voice, "Little girl, all you know is to have fun."
Little Yuan 'er pouted and said, "Master, that Jiang Aijian can't be trusted."
"I know."
"He's from the palace, and he works for the important people in the palace. Why would he be willing to be your spy? "Little Yuan 'er mumbled.
"You talk too much."
Lu Zhou knocked her head again.
However, Lu Zhou could not help but sigh. He was impressed that Little Yuan 'er was able to think of these things. This was much better than before.
。
Meanwhile.
Ferocious Tiger Gang Headquarters.
The person sitting on the throne was not the Evil King, Zhu Honggong, who struck fear into the hearts of others. Instead, it was the Darknet Sect Master, Si Wuya.
"Seventh Senior Brother, your intelligence network is spread all over the world … The information you collect has always been reliable … However, is there a problem with the information about the Holy Altar? How could an eminent monk of the Buddhist sects appear? The Temple of Great Emptiness's Kong Xuan was a Four-leaf Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm cultivator at most. Why can't I believe it? "Zhu Honggong said.
Si Wuya said indifferently, "It's not Kong Xuan. Kong Xuan was killed by a senior Buddhist monk."
"Kong Xuan is dead? How's this possible?! "Zhu Honggong exclaimed in shock.
"My information network has always been reliable … Unfortunately, the bald donkeys from the Temple of Great Emptiness used the Brahman Lullaby, causing my people to be unable to get close. We can only observe from afar … However, based on the description, the person who unleashed the Great Vajra Wheel Hand Seal must be a senior Buddhist monk! "
"Kong Xuan died at the hands of his own people … Why does this sound so strange to me?" Zhu Honggong scratched his head.
While the two of them were discussing the matter …
A cultivator dressed in dark robes hurried in. He fell to one knee and said, "Sect Master, Sword Freak Chen Wenjie has been killed by Senior Sword Devil."
"I see." Si Wuya was not surprised. Zhu Honggong was stunned.
"Sect Master, I have another matter to report."
"What is it?"
"The Fiend Temple's Master, Buping, has come out of seclusion!"
Si Wuya rose to his feet abruptly. He stared at Buping and asked, "Has he achieved a breakthrough?"
"I don't know!"
"Did the Fiend Temple make any unusual movements?"
"No unusual movements for now."
"Report to me immediately if there are any unusual movements."
"Yes, sect master!"
