What was Lü Shu's identity now? This question was asked abruptly, but Lü Shu knew that Li Xianyi must have been holding this question in his heart for a long time.
18 years ago, it was the foundation who chased Tear all the way to Luoyang City. Lü Shu felt that it was not a coincidence that Tear came to Luoyang City, because the second relic was opened here. The Seal of Mountains and Rivers already controlled the area of Luoyang City. The Old Divine King was likely to have given the puppet master a death order to reach Luoyang City.
The Seal of Mountains and Rivers was specially placed in the Beiming Ruins by the Old Divine King, so there must be a reason for it.
What was hidden in the box behind Tear? If Nie Ting and Shi Xuejin could think of this answer, then in fact, the foundation must have had the same guess, but they did not pay much attention to it.
After Lü Shu returned from Lü Zhou, the foundation paid great attention to Lü Shu's movements. Lü Shu did not take any confidential measures to find clues about some orphans 18 years ago, so it was reasonable for the foundation to know.
At this time, even Li Xianyi could not help but think, the baby in the box … could it be Lü Shu? After all, people like Li Xianyi who had cultivated to this level finally understood one thing, it was not so easy to advance to the level of Great Guru.
And Lü Shu, as a civilian, came from an orphanage and had no roots, but the latecomers surpassed him. How could there be so many one-in-a-billion geniuses in this world?
What about the baby? So far, no one on Earth had been found who was qualified to be the baby that the puppet master risked his life to protect. In Li Xianyi's view, the baby had to at least achieve the same achievements as Lü Shu to be worthy of the life sacrificed by the puppet master.
Therefore, Lü Shu seemed to be the only answer, and there would be no other option.
But if Lü Shu was really the baby in the box, then it meant that the foundation and Lü Shu had long been enemies. Back then, the foundation had chased after Lü Shu for thousands of miles and killed their way to Luoyang City with the Art of Tears.
Ever since Lü Shu returned, he hadn't taken the initiative to look for Li Xianyi. Wasn't Li Xianyi the same?
In fact, both of them knew what was going on, but neither of them was willing to say it out loud.
Yun Yi had personally told Li Xianyi some things, but what she did not say was that when the seven puppeteers escaped from that place with a heavy responsibility, two of them died there, and the other five came to Earth. Everyone thought that only four puppeteers came because Crafty Approach did not appear, but in fact, there were five of them.
Now, Crafty Approach had already merged with the tree, but Li Xianyi and the others did not know the details.
Li Xianyi probed, "You should know some old stories about puppeteers. Back then, four puppeteers were carrying a huge box. What do you think is inside that box?"
Lü Shu thought about it and said, "Food?"
Li Xianyi shook his head. "No, they even snatched food from others on the way."
"Clothes?" Lü Shu continued.
"No, they didn't change their clothes on the way." Li Xianyi shook his head.
Lü Shu pondered. Four people carrying a big box, it was neither clothes nor food. "Then maybe they were carrying a set of mahjong?"
Li Xianyi: "???"
"Negative emotion points from Li Xianyi, + 666!"
Everyone was well aware of one thing. Why were you still pretending to be a fool? You even played mahjong!?
However, at this moment, Lü Shu looked at Li Xianyi and said with a smile, "If you found out that there was a baby in the box, would you have killed him?"
Li Xianyi frowned and was silent for a long time before sighing. "I couldn't do it. The baby is innocent."
That's right. Actually, the foundation had never played the role of the bad guy. Although they were increasingly divided internally, they all had good intentions. At that time, who could kill a baby with their own hands?
None of them would be able to overcome that hurdle.
"I'll answer your question now," Lü Shu said with a smile. "My current identity is the Ninth Tengra, Lü Shu."
He was the Ninth Tengra, not the Divine King or the Master of Puppeteers. Lü Shu's trip here was actually to tell Li Xianyi that their relationship had not changed much.
Although they had a grudge back then, what they should have done the most was to kill the conspirator and not kill each other because of a lie from the conspirator.
Thinking about it, it was indeed hard to let go, and he felt a little sorry for Tear Conjuration. But … what else could Lü Shu do? Kill Li Xianyi?
There was too much hatred in this world, too many difficulties, too many doubts, too many contradictions. Lü Shu could not handle everything perfectly.
He was a human, not a god.
Lü Shu asked, "After Tear Conjuration died, where did you bury her?"
Li Xianyi thought about it and said, "She was buried on North Peak Mountain. There was no word on the tombstone, and the words' Puppeteer 'were carved in the lower right corner. That girl … it's a pity. Our foundation let her down, but we didn't kill her. She committed suicide. "
Lü Shu was stunned. "Girl?"
This was the first time Lü Shu had heard of Tear Conjuration's gender. No one had told him about this before. Lü Shu asked curiously, "Did she commit suicide?"
"Yes, she drew her sword and cut her throat." Li Xianyi sighed. "She said that ants like us weren't qualified to kill her."
It had to be said that among the puppeteers, be it Hu Zhi, Yun Yi, or Tear Conjuration, they were all crazier than the last. Even if they were to die, they would die standing.
Lü Shu hesitated. "Then could it be …"
"I know what you're thinking. We've checked it carefully. All signs of life have been cut off. There can't be any accidents." Li Xianyi sighed. "Also, we've sent people to guard her grave day and night. There can't be any mistakes."
Lü Shu's mood was a little gloomy. Although Lü Shu did not seem to have any feelings for her, she had indeed died to save him and protect him.
Fortunately, the conflict between him and Li Xianyi had been resolved after coming to Australia. Lü Shu felt that he had to face everything bravely. If he and Li Xianyi did not make things clear today, it was very likely that there would be a gap between them in the future, and it would be difficult to restore their previous relationship.
When Lü Shu walked out of the foundation's branch building, many people were secretly sizing him up. This was because the news of Lü Shu's actions on the grasslands had already spread. They were guessing who Lü Shu was.
The answer was actually very obvious. Many people in the foundation knew that Li Xianyi had a very good relationship with the Ninth Tengra. This Asian young man was also very powerful.
Many people looked at Lü Shu. For some reason, they felt a little honored because they were one of the few people who had seen the Ninth Tengra's true face.
Countless Australian reporters were rushing over, but it was too late.
In just the blink of an eye, Lü Shu seemed to have disappeared into thin air, as if he had never been there.
