Lü Shu was very quiet on the way back, and the others did not say much. Chen Zu'an and the others did not know about the puppet master, so they just thought that Lü Shu's clues to find his parents had been cut off again.
At this time, even Lv Shu did not know that the woman being chased on the street was the puppeteer Tear Art. This was because when Li Xian learned of this, he was in the middle of a confrontation with Ze Meng. Later, he went to Lv Zhou.
But Lü Shu knew his background very well, and he also realized why Yun Yi would come to Luoyang City for no reason. Perhaps she already knew his identity at that time.
As for how she knew, Lü Shu did not find it strange, because the cultivation method of the Star Map was actually very special. Lü Xiaoyu's cultivation method was also very special, and no one in this world had the same cultivation method as them.
Cheng Qiuqiao suddenly said, "Why don't we look for clues about that woman?"
"How?" Chen Zu'an asked curiously.
At this moment, Lü Shu said, "Look for Zhong Yutang. He should be able to find it."
It was not that Zhong Yutang knew where Tear had gone, but that Tengra's Earth Net must have had some information exchange with the foundation. Tear's death was not a secret, and the foundation would definitely not keep such a thing a secret from Tengra's Earth Net.
At this time, Li Dian, who was sandwiched between Chen Zu'an and Cheng Qiuqiao, asked cautiously, "Tengra, can I get a reduction in my sentence now?"
"Of course." Lü Shu nodded and said, "According to the agreement, your sentence will be reduced by 40%. You will spend some time in prison, then be transferred to work in Dragon Gate Fortress. You will serve out the rest of your sentence as a semi-free person."
Li Dian heaved a sigh of relief. Being semi-free was not bad.
Lv Shu said, "Li Dian, we are old acquaintances. I hope you can understand that there is nothing in this world that can be reaped without sowing or paying the price. Turn over a new leaf. There are so many things you can do in the new era. Why do you have to cheat?"
Li Dian sighed. "I was forced to do it too …"
"Stop." Lü Shu mercilessly interrupted Li Dian. "I still have to say that your tragic experience can only be used to understand your motive, but it cannot gain our sympathy. If you want us to look up to you, you must first live a decent life."
Most criminals in this world had experiences that deserved sympathy, but could they be righteous just because they were miserable? That was not true.
At this stage of human civilization, respecting the law was respecting civilization.
After returning to Dragon Gate Fortress, someone came to pick up Li Dian. When Li Dian put on the shackles again, he suddenly felt that this world was really strange. He had actually stolen a grandmaster's diapers and toys 18 years ago?
From Li Dian's point of view, the gourd was probably one of Lü Shu's toys. This world was really scary.
Li Dian believed in fate. Otherwise, how could he tell other people's fortunes? His fortune-telling was not purely a trick. It was a skill that had been passed down in his family.
At this moment, Li Dian felt that he should stop fooling people in the future. Who knew if he would end up fooling some powerful person in the future? His life was not so good …
Back at Dragon Gate Fortress, Lü Shu was walking to Zhong Yutang's office when he saw Li Yixiao and Nalan Que whispering in the corridor.
Nalan Que's expression was very ugly. "When are we getting married?!"
Li Yixiao was a little nervous. "Will marriage guarantee happiness? I have a friend who got married twice. What's the point? "
Nalan Que said, "If marriage is not good, will people get married twice?"
Lü Shu did not expect to see Nalan Que forcing him to get married. Chen Zu'an and Cheng Qiuqiao almost laughed out loud. The entire Tengra Earth Net knew that Li Yixiao was a henpecked husband. His allowance was at most 20 yuan a day.
No one would want to get married like this …
Li Yixiao saw Lü Shu and ran over as if he had seen his savior. "Lü Shu, I have something important to discuss with you."
Then, Li Yixiao pulled Lü Shu and ran. As he ran, he whispered, "This woman has been crazy recently. Brother, can you point me in the right direction? The next time you go to Lü Zhou, can you?"
Lü Shu laughed. "You already have a criminal record for running away from a wedding. Do you think Nalan Que will let you go?"
"If I don't run away, I won't be able to live anymore." Li Yixiao was about to cry. He thought back to how he, a big man who had roamed Jianghu, could only eat a small rotating self-service hotpot that cost 19 yuan. It was so miserable …
"Don't." Lü Shu pulled Li Yixiao's hand away. "I can't help you with this."
Lü Shu said goodbye to Chen Zu'an and the others. Then, he took Lü Xiaoyu to sit on the towering city wall of Dragon Gate Fortress. They sat on the edge and looked into the distance.
"Xiaoyu," Lü Shu said softly.
"Huh?" Lü Xiaoyu tilted his head and looked at Lü Shu.
"Why don't you learn swordsmanship?" Lü Shu asked Lü Xiaoyu this question for the first time.
In the past, Li Xianyi wanted to take Lü Xiaoyu as a disciple, but Lü Xiaoyu always rejected him. At first, it was because Lü Xiaoyu didn't trust Li Xianyi and didn't want to have any contact with him.
But later on, they got along very well. Li Xianyi treated Lü Xiaoyu like his own granddaughter and spoiled him a lot.
But at that time, Li Xianyi once again proposed to teach Lü Xiaoyu swordsmanship, but Lü Xiaoyu still rejected him.
Lü Shu had never asked this question before, but he didn't know why he suddenly wanted to ask this question today.
Lü Xiaoyu thought about it and said, "Because it's not fun."
"Not fun?" Lü Shu asked curiously.
"Yes, it's not as easy as controlling a few souls," Lü Xiaoyu said with a smile.
"Is there any other reason?" Lü Shu continued to ask.
Lü Xiaoyu fell silent for a very long time before suddenly saying, "Maybe it's because I'm subconsciously tired of playing."
This answer was probably something that only the two of them could understand. As the puzzle pieces of the truth were gradually completed, everyone gradually understood that their backgrounds were not that simple.
Lü Xiaoyu smiled and said, "When I first saw you guys practicing your swordsmanship, I felt that you guys were very weak. I could memorize the things that Old Master taught me just by watching it once, but I couldn't muster up the motivation to practice it. It was as if I had once stood at the peak of this domain, so I started to look down on those basic things."
With that, Lü Xiaoyu flicked her finger, and a transparent astral sword shot out from her fingertip, forcefully distorting space. Then at the next moment, Lü Xiaoyu flicked out another astral sword, shattering the astral sword in front of her.
Before this, Lü Xiaoyu had never practiced swordsmanship before. In fact, she had never even touched it before.
Lü Shu smiled and said, "You never mentioned that you can release and retract astral swords as you wish."
Lü Xiaoyu stretched lazily and said, "I'll just make swords for you. It's so easy. I have you to protect me."
