Upon seeing this, Lu Li was at a loss for what to do.

Cao Cao stepped forward and said, "Brother Xunzhen, the beauty is interested in you, so why refuse?"

Ren Hongchang and Xiao Lu'er looked six parts alike, and he really didn't want to keep her by his side, because seeing Ren Hongchang would remind him of Xiao Lu'er.

"Alright, then you shall come back to Ghost Valley with me." Lu Li sighed, then helped Ren Hongchang up.

"Thank you, Master!"

When Ren Hongchang saw that Lu Li had agreed, he burst into tears of joy.

Upon hearing the word "master," Lu Li was momentarily dazed, but he didn't say anything.

"Brother Mengde, I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now," Lu Li said, cupping his hands in greeting to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao, true to his nature, immediately said, "Brother Xunzhen, please go ahead. I, Cao Cao, will definitely pay you a visit in the future!"

"Goodbye!" Lu Li said, then clasped his hands in farewell and left with Ren Hongchang.

Meanwhile, outside a secret room in the Red Sleeve Pavilion.

The madam knelt on the ground, exclaiming with delight, "Master! I've confirmed it, it is indeed the Ghost Valley token!"

"And...and his name is Lu Li!"

Suddenly, a powerful sense of oppression emanated from the secret room, causing the madam to tremble uncontrollably.

A moment later, the door to the secret chamber opened, and a man dressed in a black robe walked out.

He wore a ghost mask, revealing only his lips, making it impossible to see his face clearly. Only his eyes radiated a cold, icy light.

"Are you... sure?" The man's hoarse voice sent chills down one's spine.

"Reporting to Master, I have confirmed that the man is indeed Guigu Luli!" the madam said in fear.

The man burst out laughing upon hearing this.

"Hahaha... It really was him!" The man's laughter grew even more maniacal, then he said, "Very good, very good!"

"Remember, this matter must not be revealed, understand?"
