Zu An frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Lu Sheng shook his head: "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. You will naturally find out many things soon."
"I hate people who only say half of what they mean." Zuan clenched his fist. "Since you can foresee the future, guess whether I'm going to beat you up next?"
Lu Sheng's expression stiffened, and he said with an awkward smile, "You don't need to be angry. If you help me complete this task, I will give you the 'Book of Records' as payment."
Upon hearing "Record of Books," even Mi Li's expression shifted, clearly indicating that she understood its immense value.
Zu An sneered, "To impart skills as soon as you arrive, you must be either a villain or a thief."
Ever since he was tricked by Old Man Mi and almost had his body possessed when he first came to this world, he has been inexplicably wary of such unprovoked kindness, always feeling that the other party is using this to fish for him.
Lu Sheng was clearly surprised that he remained unmoved: "Don't you know the magic of the 'Book of Records'?"
"So what if you can foresee the future? You were still unable to change your fate back then, and all you ended up with was a wisp of your soul hiding here for so many years," Zuan said calmly. "Besides, I don't believe in such unfounded good intentions."
Upon hearing his words, Lu Sheng was taken aback. After a long while, he sighed and said, "Your insights are indeed extraordinary. Back then, I relied too much on the 'Book of Records,' and as a result, I became completely desperate when my fate was about to be sealed. I didn't even have the courage to think about changing it. You are indeed a person with a special connection. This book will definitely play a greater role for you than it did for me."
As he spoke, he pointed his finger, and a golden light pierced directly into Zu'an's forehead.
Zuan was shocked and hurriedly stepped back, touching his forehead as he asked, "What did you do to me?"
Unfortunately, no matter how he touched his forehead, he felt nothing unusual. He was shocked. His body had been tempered three times by the Primordial Chaos Sutra, so it should have been incredibly tough and difficult to be harmed by ordinary swords. How come he had no defensive ability in the face of this golden light?
"Don't worry, it's just that the 'Book of Records' has been imprinted into your sea of consciousness. It won't harm you at all," Lu Sheng said weakly. His eyes were not as bright as before, as if his body had weakened.
Mi Li was somewhat surprised: "The Record of Books isn't actually a book?"
Lu Sheng shook his head: "Of course it's not a book. The book I showed the Emperor back then was just a smokescreen. This is the original form of the 'Record Book.' Fortunately, that disaster didn't fall into that person's hands."
"That person?" Mi Li asked thoughtfully.
Zu An hurriedly looked inward and indeed found a small golden book faintly emerging in his sea of consciousness, exuding an ancient and desolate aura—the feeling of the Dao.
Instead of showing any joy, he looked at Mi Li and asked, "Master, are you really alright?"
Mi Li replied, "Don't worry, this is your good fortune. You're quite lucky, kid."
Hearing her say the same thing, Zu An finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he still said pitifully, "Master, I'm not clean anymore."
I always feel like other people's things are entering me, and my mind is becoming shaped like theirs. It's really unpleasant.
Mi Li: "..."
"Get lost!"
At this moment, Lu Sheng looked at her in surprise: "So this destined person is the Empress's disciple."
"Hmph, just a lazybones. He begged and pleaded, and I only reluctantly agreed just now because I couldn't resist." Mi Li raised her chin high, as smug as she could be.
Zuan: "..."
Who's begging whom? But let's give her some face in front of her ministers.
"It seems the 'Book of Records' did not lie to me after all. With the Empress's help, I should be able to fulfill that wish." As Lu Sheng spoke, his figure gradually became transparent and dim, dissipating in the wind at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Watching this scene, Mi Li remained silent, her expression exceptionally sorrowful. Seeing her old friends disperse one by one, she felt the power of time even more strongly.
The group continued walking through the palace. Mi Li remained silent, while Bi Linglong asked Zu An with concern, "Are you alright now that the 'Record Book' has entered your body?"
Zuan shook his head: "I can't see anything wrong with it right now, but I don't know how to use it, and they didn't explain it to me."
He tried several times, using either primordial energy or primordial energy, but he couldn't activate the small golden book in his sea of consciousness.
Bi Linglong looked worried: "Even that person who could foresee the future couldn't escape a great calamity. I have a feeling that the danger we are about to face must be terrible."
Zuan laughed: "The more terrifying the better. You know, there's a terrifying emperor waiting to kill us. If the unknown danger is too weak, how will we have a chance to survive?"
Mi Li couldn't help but nod: "Although you are greedy and lustful, you are open-minded and cheerful. Little girl, although you are smart, you are far inferior to him in this respect."
Bi Linglong was not annoyed, and smiled slightly, "I was never as good as him anyway."
If it were a month ago, she would never have admitted this, given her pride and arrogance, but now she genuinely admires it.
"Ha, woman." Mi Li looked at her with disdain.
"Next should be the water elemental room, right? The previous rooms were mostly for people you knew. Do you have any clue who the owner of this room is?" Zaun asked.
“No, I’ve roughly thought back to those people from back then, and it seems that none of them are related to the water element.” Mi Li shook her head slightly.
"Could it be Xu Fu?" Zu'an asked curiously.
Mi Li gently lifted her chin with her hand: "It's not impossible. Xu Fu spent a lot of his life at sea and dealt with water for most of his life."
