There were few things in the restaurant room, so any slight difference would be very noticeable. Therefore, Lu Yao noticed the difference in the room the moment he turned around.
On the originally empty table in the room, a water mark had appeared without anyone noticing.
The water mark looked like someone had knocked over a teacup on the table, so the tea spilled onto the table. To others, this might just be an ordinary water mark, but in Lu Yao's eyes, it was a completely different scene.
The outline of the water mark seems ordinary, but in fact it is regular, and it is shaped like a lightning bolt.
Others might not be able to recognize it, but Lu Yao would never make a mistake.
This pattern is a secret code.
A secret code that had been abandoned for a long time and had not been used. It was the secret code used in the Fengyu Palace operation a thousand years ago.
The reason why this code was abandoned is that it belonged to only one person. After that person was gone, naturally no one would use this code anymore.
Lu Yao's eyes fell straight on the secret code drawn with tea on the table, as if he wanted to see through it. His right hand habitually wanted to grab the wine gourd at his waist and take a big gulp to determine whether he was sober or drunk. However, when he found that his waist was empty, he remembered that he had thrown the wine gourd aside.
The muscles on his cheeks were tightly stretched, as if everything in front of him would turn into a dream and disappear if he relaxed for a moment. He quickly came to the table and stretched out his hand to touch the mark, but his hand fell down immediately after it was raised.
"Is that you?"
Lu Yao's voice was hoarse and trembling, "You're back, right?"
There was no response from the room. The secret code that appeared out of nowhere could not give him any response.
Lu Yao clenched his fists tightly. His eyes, which usually drooped as if half asleep and half awake, were now fully open. After a long silence, his gaze did not linger on the secret code. He raised his right hand, and his fingertips did not touch the mark, but only lightly brushed it from above. Soon, a halo composed of spiritual energy appeared above the water mark, and the halo condensed into a mark, extending out of the room along a certain trajectory, and floated to an unknown place along the corridor.
Lu Yao did not immediately follow the halo. His Adam's apple moved up and down slightly, and he looked at the trace intently, as if he was seeing not just the scene in front of him, but the trajectory leading to a thousand years ago.
After a long while, he closed his eyes tightly. When he opened them again, he finally sorted out all his emotions. He pushed the door and walked out of the room again, following the direction indicated by the halo.
Finally, Lu Yao stopped outside a door on the third floor of the restaurant.
The mark left by the secret code extended from his room all the way through the corridor to the outside, and finally led him to the outside of this room.
But after finding the target, Lu Yao suddenly didn't dare to move forward. The willful boy who was fearless a thousand years ago, now looked at the closed door and lost the courage to move forward, as if he was afraid that the hands he was about to reach out would destroy the dream he had worked so hard to get.
He stared ahead for a long time, and finally the noise coming from inside the door interrupted Lu Yao's thoughts.
The sudden sound of footsteps made Lu Yao panic for a moment. At that moment, he clenched his fists and couldn't help but take half a step back.
Just as he raised his head with frowned brows, the door of the room suddenly opened, and a young figure walked out of the room and unexpectedly ran into Lu Yao's sight.
The young man in the room was handsome, dressed in luxurious white clothes. He looked like a pampered young master from a wealthy family, with a carefree and innocent look.
The moment he saw the young man inside the door, Lu Yao's body stiffened and all the emotions in his eyes suddenly extinguished, turning into deep disappointment.
Not him.
Lu Yao closed his eyes tiredly and laughed briefly, as if he was laughing at himself for being too naive.
·
And now, Hua Shi’s surprise was also indescribable.
He didn't understand why he was just hungry in the middle of the night and was about to go out to ask the servants to find him something to eat, but as soon as he opened the door, he met a guy standing in front of his door, staring at him with an extremely strange expression.
And this guy was the deputy master of Fengyu Palace whom he had just met not long ago in the afternoon.
He had heard of this man's name and knew his past, but he didn't understand why this man appeared outside his door.
What is this guy going to do?
Although he heard that Lu Yao of Fengyu Palace had become a guy that everyone in the spiritual world could step on, Hua Shi had heard a lot about this man's brutal past, so naturally he didn't really regard him as a good-tempered guy. He now stared at Lu Yao in front of him, looking at him suspiciously, and hesitated for a long time before finally unable to help but ask: "What are you doing here?"
Lu Yao took all his emotions into his eyes, raised his eyes and looked at Hua Shi again, also sizing him up.
It was very quiet in the middle of the night. Hua Shi and Lu Yao looked at each other. No one spoke for a while. Hua Shi felt a little uncomfortable in this atmosphere. Finally, he couldn't help but ask the system for help in his mind: "What's wrong with this guy? Why is he looking at me! Did I offend this old man in any way?"
No one knows that although the young master Hua Shi appears calm on the surface, he has already started asking the system for help on how to escape.
At this time, Fang Wei, who was in Hua Shi's soul, heard Hua Shi's inner screams for help, and felt helpless and amused.
Of course, he was the one who lured Lu Yao here. He spent a lot of effort for this, and even consumed his already limited spiritual power. He then left Hua Shi's body for a short time and left secret marks on the table in Lu Yao's room, allowing the other party to find Hua Shi by following the marks he left.
He had no way of appearing in front of Lu Yao now, nor did he have any way of telling Lu Yao about his current situation, so he could only hope to attract Lu Yao's attention in this way.
After staring for a long time, Lu Yao did find something wrong.
He frowned, and after a brief silence, his body suddenly turned into a black shadow and attacked Hua Shi!
Hua Shi was still asking his system for help in his mind. He didn't expect Lu Yao to attack him without even saying hello. He instinctively summoned the Lingsha Sword from the Yunxiu Pen space, raised his hand and swung the sword, barely blocking the opponent's attack.
"What kind of person are you..." Hua Shi's face changed slightly, and he wanted to argue with the other party, but then he remembered that the other party was a person of evil ways and was not someone he could reason with, so he changed the subject, turned around, took a breath, and shouted outside: "Someone help me..."
Hua Shi's action stunned Lu Yao. He didn't expect that the other party's first reaction would be to call for help.
Fortunately, he reacted very quickly. As soon as Hua Shi opened his mouth, he covered his mouth and said in a cold voice: "If you don't scream, I can guarantee that you will live."
Hua Shi nodded without any hesitation and made a gesture of silence, promising himself not to say any more nonsense.
Lu Yao probably had never met such a cooperative guy. Seeing Hua Shi's actions, he actually suspected that he had been a drunkard for too many years, so his words had lost their intimidation.
He slowly let go of Hua Shi and took a step back. In silence, his eyes fell on Hua Shi's right hand.
To be precise, it should be on the Lingsha sword in his right hand.
Hua Shi noticed Lu Yao's gaze. He had now realized that the other party had no intention of killing him, so his mind began to become active. Seeing Lu Yao's reaction to the Lingsha Sword, he was puzzled and wanted to ask, but remembering that Lu Yao had just said not to speak, he did not dare to speak again. He just stared at Lu Yao, trying to convey his confusion with his eyes.
Lu Yao took his eyes off his sword after a long while, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "Spiritual Sand Sword?"
Hua Shi's eyes widened slightly, and he forgot his promise at this moment, and asked quickly: "Do you know this sword?"
Lu Yao glanced at Hua Shi.
Seeing that he did not pursue the matter of his speaking, Hua Shi boldly asked, "Do you know the owner of this sword?"
Lu Yao ignored his words and asked with a complicated expression: "Your internal energy, did you use the Illusion Light Spell just now?"
Hua Shi didn't care about the Illusion Light Spell right now. He just wanted to know about Liu Qishuang. He didn't answer Lu Yao, but asked anxiously, "You know who the owner of this sword is, right? What else do you know?"
Lu Yao didn't care about the Spirit Sand Sword. He just mentioned it casually. Now he just wanted to know why the young master in front of him practiced the Illusion Light Curse. This was obviously a cultivation method that Fang Wei mastered in the past. He suppressed his breath and said, "I ask you why you know the Illusion Light Curse?"
Hua Shi felt that this person was unreasonable: "I asked first! You should have told me first!"
Unfortunately, Lu Yao was famous for being unreasonable in the past. He showed Hua Shi the weapon on his waist and said coldly, "Speak."
Hua Shi: “…”
At this moment, the person whose mood was even more complicated than the other two people present was probably Fang Wei.
He took great pains to get Lu Yao here, originally wanting to solve the problem, but he didn't expect that these two people would actually quarrel over this, and the reason for their quarrel was him.
Although he is of a different identity.
Hua Shi was unable to hold out for long under Lu Yao's violent coercion. He quickly retracted his previous confidence and said in a muffled voice: "I accidentally found this sword and this technique in a cave near the Ningshan Lingdao headquarters. It seemed to be very useful, so I picked it up and practiced it."
This was the statement Fang Wei had just provided for Hua Shi. Although Hua Shi felt that this statement would not deceive anyone, he could not think of any other excuses for the time being, so he had to use this one.
But what he didn't expect was that after hearing this, Lu Yao actually seemed to believe what he said.
After another long examination, Lu Yao asked Hua Shi about the details of his experience in the cave, and spoke to him again. It seemed as if he had completely believed what he said. Not long after, he ended the questioning and turned around to leave the room.
However, as he watched him turn around and leave, Hua Shi did not forget his previous question. He called out to him before he walked out, pursed his lips and said, "You haven't told me yet, the owner of this sword..."
"Liu Qishuang, she once temporarily served as the master of the spiritual path for a few years a thousand years ago." Lu Yao turned and left, leaving only the last sentence, "Don't ask me anything else, I don't know much about the spiritual path, and I don't have much interest in it."
After saying this, his figure disappeared around the corner.
Hua Shi stared at the place blankly and couldn't help muttering, "He just left like that? What on earth was he doing here?"
Fang Wei also looked in the direction where Lu Yao left.
Of course he knew that Lu Yao seemed to have lost interest in Hua Shi, but in fact, after his actions, he had already begun to doubt Hua Shi's identity. Although it seemed that Lu Yao had temporarily lost interest in Hua Shi, he would definitely pay close attention to Hua Shi's every move during the upcoming Spirit Transformation Conference.
And this is exactly the result Fang Wei wanted.
Next, he just had to wait for the right time for Hua Shi to show him the token of the Lord of Evil...
Fang Wei was thinking this when he suddenly realized that something seemed wrong. He looked at Hua Shi who suddenly rushed into the house to find Hui Mengzhu and couldn't help asking, "Host, what are you doing?"
Hua Shi stared at the Huimeng Pearl in his hand and said with concentration: "It turns out that he once temporarily took over as the master of the Spiritual Path."
Fang Wei suddenly realized what Hua Shi was thinking, and immediately had a bad feeling in her heart: "You..."
Hua Shi said: "I heard that every time the Spiritual Transformation Conference is held, the leaders of the Spiritual Path and the Evil Path will come to Tianqing City in person. If this is the case, then he must have been here as well."
Having said this, without waiting for Fang Wei to open his mouth to stop him, Hua Shi had already poured his spiritual power into the Huimeng Pearl and activated the illusion again.
