Lu Jingzhi shook his head. "I'm not helping you for free, but I have something to ask of you."
"Can you please help me?"
The Mermaid Queen looked at the man under the mask, her pretty face flushed.
"Senior, please speak."
"I will do my best to satisfy you, Senior."
Lu Jingzhi felt something strange when he looked at her shy face and the words she said.
"Ahem, I just want you to keep something for me."
After saying that, Lu Jingzhi took out the wood lotus from the jade pendant.
Grandma Mermaid exclaimed, "It's an elemental lotus!"
"Are you sure you want to leave this precious thing with us?"
"Of course, a hundred years later, a young man named Lu Jingzhi will come to Xuanhai."
"You have to rescue him and then let him absorb the wood lotus."
"Lu Jingzhi?"
Although I don't know who this person is.
The mermaid grandmother still took the magnolia from his hand.
"Okay, we'll remember that."
"Well, to thank you."
"I'll give you these two pills as a thank you."
As he spoke, he took out two stepping pills from the jade pendant.
Because he sensed that the mermaid grandmother and Gu Keke's mother had encountered a bottleneck in their cultivation and were stuck at the peak of the Xuanhuang realm.
The Queen pushed his pill back and refused, "How can this be possible?"
"You saved us and gave us the elixir."
Lu Jingzhi said, "I gave you pills to improve your strength and also to prevent Xuanwu from coming again."
"So you can still help me look after the wood lotus?"
The mermaid grandmother took it and said, "Senior is right. If we break through the Sky-stepping Realm, we won't have to be afraid of the Black Tortoise."
After hearing this, the queen accepted it.
"Okay, I'm leaving now."
Just as Lu Jingzhi turned to leave, the queen reached out and grabbed her arm.
"Senior, why don't you stay here for a few days?"
Lu Jingzhi was stunned and looked at her face through the mask.
It was obvious that she was moved.
Moreover, looking at this face that was almost similar to Gu Keke's, he suddenly felt a sense of guilt.
Lu Jingzhi quickly retracted his hand and coughed twice, "I have something important to attend to, so I can't stay here."
Hearing this, the Queen showed a lost expression.
"Will you come again?"
Lu Jingzhi shook his head, "No, today's farewell is forever."
I know it very well.
If you are soft-hearted and say you will come again, even if it is a lie.
It will create another situation.
That means the Queen still has feelings for him and doesn't want to marry, so Gu Keke would not have been born.
The same logic applies to not killing Xuanwu.
If there is something or someone missing in the middle.
That will inevitably change the course of history, even in an irreversible direction.
"Okay... okay."
"Take care, senior."
Lu Jingzhi clasped his fists and said, "Goodbye."
After saying that, he disappeared from the spot.
The Queen stood there for a long time.
The mermaid grandmother patted her shoulder and said, "You two are not from the same path."
"My Queen, please don't be sad about this, and don't have any nostalgia for it."
"Well, let's go back."
"good."
Lu Jingzhi stood on the Xuanhai Sea and took out the soul-protecting bead from the jade pendant.
"Now, it's time to go find my great-grandmother."
Sanctuary Center——
In a certain restaurant——
Old Mrs. Mu and Mu Hao sat in the main seats, looking unhappy.
On both sides are people from the Jiang family and the Xu family.
One of the reasons they came here was to discuss Mu Tiancheng's madness and killing of civilians.
The second one is the head of the Xu family, who has fallen in love with Mu Jin, the eldest daughter of the Tiansha clan, and comes here to propose marriage.
Inside the restaurant, the atmosphere was so solemn that even the air seemed to have frozen.
Mu Hao sat in the main seat. Although he was old, his brows still revealed an inviolable majesty.
His eyes swept coldly over the people from the Jiang and Xu families.
"My Tiansha clan will handle matters of the heavens themselves. It is not the turn of outsiders to interfere."
"As for my granddaughter's marriage."
"She is the eldest daughter of my Tiansha clan, how can she be someone else's concubine?"
"Master Xu, there's no need to mention this matter again."
Upon hearing this, Xu Mingshan, the head of the Xu family, frowned and placed the teacup in his hand heavily on the table with a bang.
He sneered and said, "Mu Hao, what you said is a bit inhumane."
"Mu Tiancheng went crazy and killed people, causing an uproar in the city and causing widespread resentment among the people."
"Our two families are just here to seek justice."
"You are making excuses like this, are you trying to protect your own family?"
Jiang Yuan, the head of the Jiang family, also spoke slowly. Although his tone was gentle, it concealed a sharp edge: "This matter is of no small importance."
"Although Mu Tiancheng is a member of the Tiansha Clan, he has committed such a serious mistake. If he does not give an explanation, it will be difficult to calm the public anger."
"If you don't leave it to us."
"The Tiangong family will handle it themselves."
"As for Miss Mu Jin's marriage, Patriarch Xu is also sincere. If this marriage can be facilitated, it may also ease the relationship between the two families."
"We will also go to the Heavenly Palace and speak well of the Tiansha Clan."
When Mrs. Mu heard this, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, and she slammed the ground with the cane in her hand, making a dull sound.
"Master Jiang, Master Xu, are you here today to seek justice or to force a marriage?"
"Although our Tiansha clan is not as strong as before, we are not soft persimmons that can be bullied by others!"
"I will investigate the truth of this matter and give an explanation to the people of the world."
