Xuan Tian Daoist merely smiled at Qing Lu's disdain. Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together; their views were fundamentally different, so naturally, they could never come together…
Master Xuantian's purpose was nothing more than to unsettle their minds...
"Senior Xuantian, are you alright?"
Just then, Li Zhu's voice came from outside the door, clearly indicating that the matter inside the military camp had been resolved!
"Qinglu, would you like to meet her?"
Master Xuantian didn't respond to Li Zhu's words. Instead, he looked at Qinglu and asked, "Now that our identities have been exposed, it's impossible for the two of us to live peacefully together anymore. This meeting has a bit of a farewell feel to it."
Qinglu frowned, her heart in turmoil. She had lived with Li Zhu for so long; it was impossible for her not to have any feelings for him. Besides, a man as outstanding as Li Zhu would naturally attract the attention of outstanding women…
Qinglu believed that no man in the world could catch her eye, except for Li Zhu…
"Alright..."
Qinglu said helplessly, "The two of us are destined to be enemies, but that doesn't stop us from saying our final goodbyes..."
"Hey kid, I'm fine, come in..."
Upon hearing Master Xuantian's words, Li Zhu finally pushed open the door and walked in...
Even though he had already guessed Qinglu's identity, seeing her true face again still left Li Zhu utterly astonished. He felt that Qinglu was a major obstacle on his path to becoming a wise ruler; her beauty, capable of bringing ruin to the country, was simply too unfair…
Li Zhu had assumed that their meeting would be like that of enemies, a fight to the death that would never end...
But at this moment, both of them were unusually calm. They looked at each other and saw a complex emotion in each other's eyes...
"What about Master Xun?"
Master Xuantian asked a question that both he and Qinglu were very concerned about, in order to avoid an awkward situation for the two of them and to give them a topic to talk about!
"Senior Xuantian, it's highly likely that Daoist Xun is still alive. Only the bodies of Hong Ao and Zhu Zhen remain in the military camp..."
Li Zhu said with some regret, he hadn't expected that Xun Daoren would go to rescue Hong Ao and Zhu Zhen first. He had already interrogated these two people quite thoroughly, and they would most likely die if they went back. He never expected that they would die in the killing move that Li Zhu had set up...
"As expected of one of the Nine Heavens of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, Moon Wheel Heaven's strength is unfathomable..."
Master Xuantian praised it highly!
"Hmph! No matter how strong you are, you still fell into my ambush..."
Qinglu snorted coldly and said!
"Please calm down, Miss Qinglu. This is merely a matter of differing stances. I never expected to have such a master hidden among my ranks. If Daoist Xun hadn't been blinded by hatred, he probably wouldn't have used you as a backup plan, since having you by my side would have been more useful..."
Li Zhu wasn't angry about this, which could be considered as leaving a good impression on the beautiful woman...
"Now that you know, you should understand that we are enemies from now on..."
Qinglu looked at Li Zhu and said coldly!
Nothing is absolute; it's too early to draw conclusions now…
Li Zhu smiled and thought to himself that as long as he could easily defeat the Heavenly Dao Alliance, he didn't believe Qinglu wouldn't compromise...
"Hmph! After today, if we meet again, it will be a matter of life and death..."
Qinglu said coldly!
"No, I won't kill you if we meet again. I can't bear to see such a beautiful woman like you perish..."
Are you sure that if we meet again, I won't kill you?
Qinglu could easily tell that Li Zhu's words had a hidden meaning, but since she was about to leave, she couldn't be bothered to argue with him.
"I believe you won't really kill me. After all, there's no man in this world better than me, and no woman can resist my charm..."
Li Zhu said narcissistically, which made Qinglu's face darken, not knowing how to respond...
"Miss Qinglu, I have some questions I'd like to verify..."
Li Zhu changed the subject, looking at Qinglu and saying, "Teasing is one thing, but we can't forget about serious matters..."
"Ask away, whether I tell you or not depends on my mood..."
Qinglu said impatiently!
"Did you kill Consort Zhu?"
Li Zhu looked at Qinglu and asked, "Consort Zhu died a very aggrieved death, but it wasn't Mu Ling who did it. At the time, Li Zhu wondered who it was, but now that he thinks about it, it's very likely that Qinglu was the one who did it..."
"Yes, it's me..."
Qinglu calmly admitted it!
"That expert who infiltrated my tent, whom Little Baka discovered, was also you, wasn't he..."
"Yes, it's me too..."
Having clarified his doubts, Li Zhu felt relieved...
Is my brother still alive?
Li Zhu looked at Qinglu seriously and asked!
Qinglu glanced at Li Zhu, then turned and left without making any response…
"Hey...you haven't explained yourself clearly yet..."
Li Zhu shouted loudly, but there was no response...
"Things begin and end, but we will meet again..."
The voice of Xuan Tian Dao Ren rang out, interrupting Li Zhu's reverie...
"Senior Xuantian, she..."
Before Li Zhu could finish speaking, Master Xuantian interrupted him, saying...
"Leaving is for a better reunion..."
Li Zhu watched Qinglu leave, wanting to say that he didn't know what the next time they met would be like, and that they hadn't even finished speaking yet...
Dongwoyi!
Zhu Yougui sat excitedly in the main seat, imagining the scene of himself ascending the throne...
He believed that with Xun Daoren's intervention, he would surely obtain Li Zhu's secret weapon and bring those Daoists back to Jin...
But to his surprise, when Xun Daoren returned, he looked disheveled and as if he had been shaken...
Without giving Zhu Yougui any chance to ask questions, he hid in his room and began his seclusion...
Even if Zhu Yougui were a fool, he would know that the plan to raid Li Zhu this time had failed...
When Qinglu appeared, Zhu Yougui almost made a move, but under Qinglu's cold gaze, he ultimately chose to remain still. After all, his life was his own, and there was no need to risk his life for someone else...
"Your subordinate, Qinglu, pays respects to the Moon Goddess!"
Qinglu respectfully addressed Xun Daoren inside the room!
"Qinglu, how's the plan going?"
Xun Daoren's voice slowly drifted out, as if there were no problems at all!
"The plan to return to Moon Wheel Heaven has failed, and Li Zhu is still alive..."
Upon hearing Qinglu's words, Xun Daoren remained silent for a long time before coldly speaking.
"If you've failed, why are you still alive?"
"In the Moon Wheel Heaven, Li Zhu deceived everyone, having Xuan Tian replace his true form..."
Qinglu replied calmly!
"Xuan Tian? He actually dared to get involved. Isn't he afraid of our retaliation?"
Xun Daoren said, his voice radiating murderous intent!
Qinglu did not respond to Xun Daoren's question, because there was no need to answer it. Since the other party dared to participate, he must have made all the preparations. Moreover, the Heavenly Dao Alliance was much weaker than before, and had no way to deal with a master like Xuan Tian...
