With his mind in a state of confusion, Chu Shangli returned to his original position.
His body hadn't changed at all, and he was still standing behind the chef who had a special relationship with Wei Shengfan.
"Were you just momentarily absent-minded?"
“Ah—” Chu Shangli blinked at the chef: “Yes… it’s too exquisite. I was stunned by it.”
"Ah, yes." The chef nodded. "I feel the same way as you—I was also full of praise when I first saw it. Even now, I can't believe that such a sophisticated tool really exists and that I can use it at my will—"
If you follow the chef's instructions completely, you can certainly achieve perfection here. However, once you reach that next level, without knowing the inside story, you will definitely encounter unexpected failures and fall into panic.
And this was actually ordered by Wei Shengfan behind the scenes.
After learning about the existence of such a mysterious potion that can erase existence, Chu Shangli began to rethink the real reason why he could exist as Luo Dongxia.
In fact, someone erased a being similar to the current self, so when he appeared calling himself "Luo Dongxia", the entire impression was fixed by himself?
The goodwill and positive reviews he had gained now, including Su Wan's praise, were actually all derived from that missing existence that had been erased?
Chu Shangli thought that this idea was a bit outrageous, but it was also the most reasonable one at the moment.
The existence that had not been completely eliminated, mixed with the concept of [Luo Dongxia] that he had created, awakened together—
And now, the person most likely to wipe out a being similar to [Luo Dongxia] is only Wei Shengfan—he himself said that he used some insignificant people as guinea pigs—
However, he also said that he was not the only one with such qualifications.
Apart from him, anyone in the upper class of the empire is a possibility.
Chu Shangli bit his nails and thought about this silently——
At the same time, he responded seriously to the chef's words.
Should I continue the previous topic and find out more information, or should I give up now and use the existing information to win the victory?
After thinking it over again and again, Chu Shangli decided to continue at this point in time.
Once again, I met Wei Shengfan——
However, this time there was no need to go to the outer kitchen to look for him. Although it took a little longer than last time, I still managed to see Wei Shengfan secretly giving orders to the chef.
The conversation was basically the same as the last time, but Chu Shangli easily dodged Wei Shengfan's blade.
He snatched Wei Shengfan's blade with his backhand and put it on his neck.
"How did you—"
"Behave yourself." Chu Shangli said coldly, "If you don't obey me, I'll kill you. No, once the toxin enters the human body, it can't be called killing, but elimination. Right?"
“…”
Wei Shengfan gritted his teeth——
"You even know this?" Wei Shengfan whispered, "I heard before... I heard Ouyang say that there seemed to be something strange about you. It turns out to be true - you are actually hiding something, right?"
"Aren't you the same? In the eyes of outsiders, you should be a young master with mediocre fighting ability - but in fact, you are secretly hiding such a vicious weapon." Chu Shangli pondered for a moment and snorted coldly: "You probably can't imagine that I am actually here for revenge - as for who I want to avenge, you should use your clever brain and think carefully -"
