The fact that Lü Shu had gone to Meng City to look for Xiang Xiuxi could not be hidden from Nie Ting and Shi Xuejin. Moreover, Lü Shu did not intend to hide it from anyone.
Nie Ting and Shi Xuejin were sitting in a small courtyard in Dragon Gate Fortress. In front of them was a stone table that was exactly the same as the one in Liu Hai Alley. There were rolls and millet porridge on the table, and Shi Xuejin was holding a green onion in his hand.
"What is he looking for? Is he looking for his background?" Shi Xuejin looked at a document and said, "He applied for a reduced sentence and took away that strange cloth. I'm looking at the information here. Xiang Xiuxi has never had a boyfriend before, so she must have nothing to do with Lü Shu. However, someone said that she adopted a child more than a decade ago, but it was not long before she gave him away."
"Is there any other information?" Nie Ting thought for a moment and said, "Lü Shu would not look for her for no reason."
"Xiang Xiuxi said that she picked up a child and wanted to raise him herself. In the end, she realized that she might not be able to raise him, so she sent him to the orphanage. The calabash and the cloth actually belonged to the child," Shi Xuejin said. However, at this time, he looked at Nie Ting with a strange expression. "What's wrong?"
"Do you remember that I talked about Yun Yi and Hu Zhi before? On a stormy night 18 years ago, they were carrying a huge box. Some people heard a faint cry of a child, but no one could see what was in the box."
Shi Xuejin was stunned. "You mean …"
"At that time, when we were discussing it, we already believed that there was a baby in the box." Nie Ting analyzed, "At that time, I asked someone to check when Lü Shu was adopted by the orphanage, and it turned out that there was a gap of a few months!"
Before that, even the foundation had not come to a conclusion about what was in the box, because no one had really seen what was in the box, and the box had disappeared inexplicably.
Moreover, only one person said that he had vaguely heard a baby crying. The others said that they did not hear it, or they did not notice it during the battle.
However, Nie Ting and Shi Xuejin believed that, combined with Yun Yi and Hu Zhi's words and actions, it didn't make sense if it wasn't an infant inside.
Looking back at the incident that night, the Perceptive Physique was not something that only appeared after the Spirit Energy Revival. There were such geniuses in the foundation.
But why couldn't he sense what was inside the box … The cloth used to swaddle babies was the most logical explanation!
Li Dian could move freely in the Salt Lake Ruins with that piece of cloth draped over him, and the demon tree did not attack him at all. Back when Lü Shu traded with Li Dian at the black market, even Lü Shu could not see what kind of magic tool Li Dian had on him.
Nie Ting brought over Li Dian's previous statements and statements. Li Dian said that as long as he wore the cloth in the entire Salt Lake Relic, the demon tree would not be able to detect him. It was as if it had blocked all of the demon tree's senses.
Granny Tree Demon was the only one who attacked him in the entire Salt Lake Ruins …
Therefore, the swaddling cloth was the key to the problem, and at that time …
"Lü Shu is inside the box!" Nie Ting said with certainty.
His body suddenly relaxed a little. "So that's how it is. No wonder we discovered that Yun Yi ran to Luoyang City more than ten times in the past ten years. No wonder Yun Yi deliberately approached Lü Shu. No wonder the person who challenged Knife Formation Canyon set a trap for Lü Shu during the battle at Tiger Back Fortress."
Lü Shu's own puzzle of the truth was not complete, because the answer he was pursuing was not that simple.
But for Nie Ting, the truth that had troubled them for many years had finally come to light.
The legendary Demon King Lü Zhou in the foundation, the Demon King who killed people without batting an eyelid, was Lü Shu?!
This conclusion was a little unacceptable to Nie Ting!
But for some reason, Shi Xuejin suddenly laughed when he saw Nie Ting's expression. "Do you find it a little hard to accept? I think it's pretty good, but that's not important. Right now, I really want to know how Li Xian will react when he finds out about this. I feel like laughing … "
That's right. Old Master Li Xian was the one who had led the team to kill Lü Shu. In the end, not only did the person who was chasing him live next door, but he had also learned all the skills of Jiange.
Now that Lü Shu had advanced to a great grandmaster, how many people in the world could still hunt him down?
But at that time, some puppeteers had died because of the foundation. Shi Xuejin suddenly worried about the foundation.
Some puppeteers had really died that night, such as the woman who had left the baby below Xiang Xiuxi's house. Nie Ting and the others did not know much about puppeteers. They did not even know the name of this puppeteer.
This was the great feud between puppeteers and the foundation. Although Nie Ting knew very well that this was the work of a third party, and even Yun Yi and Hu Zhi had given up on hunting down the foundation, what would Lü Shu think?
Perhaps even Lü Shu did not know about some of the past.
But no matter what, the person who felt the most conflicted should not be Nie Ting.
Shi Xuejin gave it some thought and said, "Actually, don't you think this is pretty good?"
Nie Ting frowned. "What's good about it?"
"We've always been worried about the Divine King of Lü Zhou, and we've also been worried that puppeteers would wreak havoc in the world. But if that Divine King is really the Lü Shu we know, then it seems like our worries are a little unnecessary," Shi Xuejin said calmly.
Nie Ting understood what Shi Xuejin meant. Lü Shu was someone they were familiar with. Although it was a little painful that he was a master of the underhanded ways, he was still a little different from the murderous demon king they had imagined him to be. At the very least, they did not have to worry that he would harbor the dream of destroying Earth.
Therefore, in the cliché plot of the demon king destroying Earth, once the main character became Lü Shu, the direction of the plot would also start to deviate. There was no way to determine if it was a comedy or a spoof, but at the very least, it would not be a thriller.
This judgment was based on all their understanding of Lü Shu. They knew very well what kind of person Lü Shu was.
"Actually, puppeteers have never thought of destroying the world, right?" Shi Xuejin said. "That long-legged Yun Yi, who brings Hu Zhi to eat hotpot every day, I find it hard to believe that she would have any plans to destroy Earth."
But why would this Divine King suddenly come to Earth? What exactly happened in Lü Zhou 18 years ago?
"According to the information that Li Xianyi sent us later, he said that every puppeteer has a special ability. For example, the one in Knife Formation Canyon can create dreams," Nie Ting said. "Then, what kind of ability does the one being hunted down in Luoyang City have?"
"Contact the foundation and see where she's buried." Shi Xuejin said, "Then look for the battle records from that time."
"Lü Shu must have guessed something," Nie Ting said. "Although it's still a little hard for me to accept his identity, for some reason, I suddenly feel like saying that it's a good thing that he's the demon king."
"From the looks of it, your choice to make him Tengra back then was really the most successful investment in human history," Shi Xuejin said with a sigh.
The Divine King of Lü Zhou was the ninth Tengra Tengra. Shi Xuejin suddenly felt a little more confident.
