At the same time..,
Two sneaky figures squatted on a mountain peak a hundred meters away from the secret castle. They were using binoculars to observe Zhang Chulan's movements.
"Brother, Zhang Chulan's operation this time doesn't seem to have anything to do with the rootless students' clues."
Lu Linglong, who was dressed in pink sportswear, put down her binoculars and looked at her big cousin, who was still observing Zhang Chulan, and said,
"Should we continue to watch? I can't figure out Liu Zhenren's strength. Who knows when he will be..."
"Let's stay." Lu Lin, who was dressed in black sportswear, put down her binoculars and shook her head.
"We're already here. We have to see what will happen. Today is the execution day set by the company. Aren't you curious about what the company is doing?"
"Master Jie Kong has left." Lu Linglong thought of what she had seen just now and could not help but wonder,
"If things are really like what the rumors say, how could Master Jie Kong and the others leave so easily?"
"That's why people are curious." Lu Lin looked at Lu Linglong with a smile and said,
"The truth is inconsistent with the news outside. Master Jie Kong and the others just happened to prove this point. Then, what is the real purpose of the company's news and photos?"
"... this is an internal matter of the company." Lu Linglong's little face was a little troubled.
"Brother, is it really okay for us to do this? Didn't we say that we were only investigating the rootless students and helping Master Lu solve the knot in his heart? What if other things..."
At this moment..,
"So, the two of you came here because you felt that Zhang Chulan was investigating the rootless students, and you also wanted to follow him to find out more about the rootless students?"
A voice that Lu Linglong was very familiar with suddenly came from behind, directly interrupting the conversation between the Lu siblings.
Hearing the voice..,
Lu Linglong and Lu Lin were both slightly stunned,
Lu Linglong turned her head stiffly, then stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and said,
"Liu Zhenren... long time no see!"
Bang!!!
Liu Xiaojiang looked at Lu Linglong's deliberately cute expression, walked over, raised his hand, and flicked her head.
"Ouch!"
"Nonsense!" Liu Xiaojiang looked at Lu Linglong, who was holding her head in pain, and said with an extremely unhappy expression.
"What's going on in your head?!"
"... Ling Long!" Lu Lin was also slightly startled when she saw this. Then, she quickly shielded her cousin behind her. She looked at Liu Xiaojiang with a guilty expression and said,
"Xiao … Liu Zhenren, please don't blame Ling Long. I was the one who brought her out this time, so I bear all the responsibility."
Liu Xiaojiang had once saved Lu Linglong and had even obtained the Heavenly Talisman from the Old Master Lu. Lu Lin had obviously recognized his identity at first glance.
Seeing this,
Liu Xiaojiang looked at the young man standing in front of Lu Linglong and asked with some doubt, "What's the matter?
"You are …"
"He's my cousin, Lu Lin." Lu Linglong rubbed her head as she stood up from the ground. She almost cried from the pain of being hit on the head.
"Brother, I … I'm fine …"
Liu Xiaojiang looked at Lu Lin, who had also stood up from the ground. An imperceptible red light flashed in his eyes. He immediately saw through this young disciple of the Lu family.
The Inverse Three Levels …
Moreover, at such a young age, just like the Old Master Lu, he had cultivated the Inverse Three Levels of the Trinity Gate to the second level … Not bad.
Then …
Liu Xiaojiang nodded, indicating that he understood Lu Lin's identity. Then, he looked at Lu Linglong, who had a pitiful expression on her face, and frowned.
"You actually want to investigate the rootless life. Do you know what you're doing?"
Lu Linglong felt that the pain in her head had subsided quite a bit. Then, she slowly put down her hands and looked at Liu Xiaojiang with a determined expression.
"We want to help the Grand Master untie the knot in his heart that has been troubling him, so …"
"You're courting death!" Liu Xiaojiang immediately narrowed his eyes and interrupted Lu Linglong. His face was no longer as easy-going as before.
"I know that the knot in Old Master Lu's heart is the rootless life, because the rootless life once angered his master to death. It can be said that he 'destroyed' the entire Trinity Gate from the side."
"This knot has been in his heart for a long time. Even he can't do anything about it. How can you two juniors interfere?"
"Besides …"
"Even if there is no definite news of the rootless life's death, no one knows whether he is dead or alive. However, investigating the rootless life is almost equivalent to investigating the rebellion of the Jia Shen. It even has an unclear relationship with the Eight Strange Skills. Do you know how dangerous it is?"
Liu Xiaojiang had received a gift from the Old Master Lu. He also admired Lu Linglong's performance in the difficult situation back then. Naturally, he didn't want to see anything happen to the Old Master's precious treasure.
If they were just curious about the company's situation, it would have been fine. At most, he would have instructed the two of them to leave. However, the two of them actually didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth and wanted to investigate the Rootless Lifeforms. They even planned to follow Zhang Chulan and come into contact with the matters that were considered extremely dangerous for the older generation.
Now, many people knew that Liu Xiaojiang and Zhang Chulan were very close. Zhang Chulan was also considered a legitimate disciple of Shōichi Tenshi Province outside.
If something happened to Lu Linglong, who could guarantee that the Old Master Lu wouldn't hold a grudge against him and the Tenshi Province?
On the other side.
This was the first time Lu Linglong saw Liu Xiaojiang with a dark expression. She immediately opened her mouth carefully and wanted to explain something.
"Liu Zhenren, but …"
"No buts." Liu Xiaojiang shook his head and said, "I know that you're doing this for the good of Old Master Lu. You don't want to see him trapped in a knot in his heart. There's nothing wrong with this matter in essence."
"But you're really too impulsive. You didn't think about the risks involved. If you encounter danger and eventually fall before the Old Master Lu, would the impact of this matter on the Old Master be smaller than the impact of the destruction of the Trinity Sect back then?"
At this point, he didn't care about the Lu siblings' reactions. He raised his finger and pointed at their Dantian, saying,
"Whether it's the Quanzhen Sect's pill method that emphasizes on preserving one's life or the Inverse Three Stages created by the Trinity Sect back then, they didn't give you enough strength to protect yourself now. The consequences of investigating the rootless life are simply unbearable with the strength in your bodies."
"But, isn't Zhang Chulan also investigating what happened back then?" Lu Linglong still said stubbornly.
Even though Lu Lin thought that Liu Xiaojiang's words were reasonable, after lowering her head slightly and thinking for a moment, she also looked a little unwilling.
"Liu Zhenren, I'm also involved in the Trinity Sect. I'm not only doing this to help the Old Master, but also to bear the responsibility for inheriting the Inverse Three Stages."
"You once saved Linglong. Everyone in the Lu family is very grateful for your help. Even if you have inherited the Heavenly Talisman from the Old Master, it can only be considered as obtaining it with reasonable strength. It's not enough to offset our gratitude to you, our benefactor."
"Moreover, based on the relationship between the Old Master and the Tenshi Province, as well as his personal appreciation of you, we actually hope that you can understand this matter …"
Hearing this,
Liu Xiaojiang looked at the resolute Lu siblings in front of him. For the first time, he felt that the Lu family's straightforwardness was not all that was worth admiring.
When he heard Lu Linglong mention Zhang Chulan and Lu Lin's explanation, he was so angry that he laughed.
In terms of strength, the Lu siblings might be stronger than Zhang Chulan, or worse than Zhang Chulan, or perhaps on par with Zhang Chulan. However, in terms of thinking and the standard of doing things, there was no doubt that one was heaven and the other was earth.
Flowers in a greenhouse …
These two people might be stronger than Zhang Lingyu, but under the careful care of the Old Master Lu, they were not much stronger than Zhang Lingyu. At most, they were on par with each other.
"You two are so silly that it's cute …"
Liu Xiaojiang rubbed his temples helplessly. Then, under the expectant gaze of the Lu siblings, he opened his mouth and said something that was enough to make their hearts turn cold.
"Alright …"
"I understand what you mean. You don't intend to give up, right …"
"Well, I won't stop you. Even if you want to continue investigating the Rootless Lifeforms, I won't say anything. But there's a condition … you must at least have enough strength to protect yourself. When you encounter danger, you must also have the ability to escape."
At this point..,
Liu Xiaojiang took a few steps back alone and stood directly opposite the Lu siblings. Then, he sat on the ground and said, "Come on, let's attack together.
I won't use the Sky Reaching Talisman to deal with your Lu family, so you can use whatever means you want. As long as you can make me get up or step back a little, I'll admit that you have the ability to protect yourself, and I won't tell on you to Old Master Lu. "
"If not …"
"I believe that Old Master Lu should be willing to see me and personally send you two ignorant children back."
