Upon hearing the old Taoist priest's words, Li Zhu's bewildered gaze finally changed...
Because there was indeed someone by his side who was far more powerful than him, and that was his younger brother, Nangong Niannian…
If someone approaches you under one identity but becomes your enemy under another, that would be extremely dangerous…
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and he went through the people around him. He found that Qinglu and Nangong Niannian best fit this description...
He had always suspected that Qinglu was in his military camp, but he could never find her, which was one of the points of suspicion…
Qinglu disappeared in the explosion, but when he later found Nangong Niannian, he had suffered a qi deviation and severe internal injuries…
And then there's the person Little Baka discovered back then. That person searched his room as if it were empty, but didn't leave a single clue. All of this points to one possibility!
Qinglu is Nangong Niannian…
If this conjecture is true, many things will become clear. The reason the other party didn't meet his mother, Nangong Qing, was likely because he was afraid of being exposed. The two were clearly twins, yet they didn't look alike. He had always doubted his own identity, never expecting that the person he thought was real was actually a fake…
What puzzled him was how the other party knew that his mother had a younger brother she had never met.
At this moment, Li Zhu thought of the Heavenly Alliance…
Li Zhu considered this possibility. Qinglu and Xun Daoren knew each other, so they must have some kind of relationship. As for why Qinglu knew about her mother, it was very likely that she obtained it from within the Heavenly Dao Alliance…
"Taoist Master..."
Li Zhu looked at the old Taoist priest, his eyes filled with a pleading expression…
"Now that I'm here, I certainly won't stand idly by..."
The old Taoist priest stroked his beard and said in a profound and unfathomable tone!
"Thank you for your righteous help, Daoist Master. May I ask how I should address you, Senior Daoist Master?"
"Actually, I already told you my Taoist name a long time ago..."
The Taoist priest pointed to the token at his waist and said!
Li Zhu was stunned for a moment, then realized that the token was called the Xuan Tian Token, so wouldn't the Taoist priest be called the Xuan Tian Taoist?
The three chatted for a while longer, then Li Zhu led Wang Yanzhang away from Daoist Tianmiao's place...
Back in his room, Li Zhu spread out the Book of the Zodiac and began studying the text...
Just as he was drifting off to sleep, a shadowy figure silently entered the room. Li Zhu, sitting at the table, remained oblivious, continuing to peruse the contents of the Book of the Zodiac...
The figure in the darkness was very patient, waiting until Li Zhu was too exhausted to open his eyes before drawing the soft sword from his waist and transforming into a streak of light, heading straight for Li Zhu's neck...
If this sword strike lands, Li Zhu's head will be tossed high into the air like a basketball...
But the scene of a head flying off that he had imagined did not occur. Instead, Li Zhu caught the assassin's sword between his fingers, and the assassin's expression changed drastically in the darkness...
"If you're not Li Zhu, then who are you?"
A hesitant female voice rang out from the darkness, her gaze towards Li Zhu filled with wariness…
A barely perceptible smile appeared on Li Zhu's lips. He then lightly flicked his soft sword, and the powerful internal force sent the man in black staggering backward. With each step, a deep footprint was left in the ground beneath his feet…
"Who exactly are you? Li Zhu couldn't possibly possess such powerful internal energy..."
A surprised and uncertain voice rang out from the darkness, clearly indicating that they hadn't expected to encounter such a formidable opponent today...
"Who I am is not important. What is important is who you are, who sent you to infiltrate Li Zhu's inner circle, and what your purpose is?"
Li Zhu sat there without moving and asked several questions in succession, which made the man in black's expression change constantly. These were all secrets, how could he easily tell the other party?
However, the pressure from 'Li Zhu' was too great. Before he made a move, the aura emanating from his body was only at the level of Vajra Indestructible, but after he made a move, the aura that suddenly erupted was like a volcano suppressing his mind...
What I thought would be an easy task turned out to be so dangerous…
"Since Li Zhu isn't here, it means he already knows everything..."
The figure finally emerged from the darkness, and even in the dim light, its graceful form was undeniable…
When the woman in black removed her veil, revealing her stunning beauty, if Li Zhu were really here, he would definitely recognize her identity immediately: Qinglu, the most beautiful courtesan of Huayue Tower!
"Who are you?"
Qinglu looked at Li Zhu in front of her and asked!
Li Zhu revealed a deep, enigmatic smile, then the muscles on his face began to shift, slowly revealing the appearance of Xuan Tian Dao Ren…
Not long ago…
Inside Master Tianmiao's private room...
"Li Zhu, the Heavenly Alliance wants to kill you. The assassin is very likely the person you suspect is close to you. You might not survive a single breath against him. Even if I were hiding in the shadows, I couldn't guarantee your survival..."
Upon hearing Master Xuantian's words, Li Zhu clicked his tongue, thinking to himself that this was too much of a blow, actually saying that he didn't even have time to react...
However, given Master Xuantian's strength, his judgment must be correct. If he said Li Zhu wouldn't live for even a second, then he absolutely wouldn't live for even a second...
"Senior Xuantian, what should we do? I'm still so young, I don't want to die..."
Li Zhu said with a bitter face!
"You haven't yet fulfilled your dream of becoming a wise ruler..."
Master Xuantian deliberately emphasized the words "wise ruler"...
This made Li Zhu somewhat embarrassed. He knew that Master Xuantian must have seen through his dream of becoming a 'wise ruler,' which was to take all those femme fatales who brought ruin to the country and prevent them from harming others...
"I never imagined His Highness the Crown Prince possessed such ambition. I, Zhao Feng, will certainly do my utmost to assist him..."
"Your Highness, I underestimated you before. I will do my utmost to help you become a wise and benevolent ruler..."
Li Zhu felt somewhat embarrassed by what the two men were saying. His standards for a wise ruler were definitely different from theirs, since their goals were already diametrically opposed...
The Taoist Xuantian beside them also looked at the two with a strange expression. They genuinely wanted to assist Li Zhu in becoming a wise ruler, but Li Zhu was not a good man...
"Ahem... then I'll have to trouble you two..."
Li Zhu said somewhat embarrassedly, after all, Wang Yanzhang had truly contributed to his wise ruler…
"You two should go out first. Li Zhu and I have something to discuss..."
Xuan Tian Daoist couldn't stand it any longer. This person's skin was too thick. He was seen through, yet he still acted all high and mighty without batting an eye...
"yes…"
Zhao Feng and Wang Yanzhang responded respectfully, their eyes filled with an unprecedented sense of mission…
Looking at their high spirits, Li Zhu felt he was getting closer to becoming a wise ruler…
